Is Michael Phelps Losing His Mojo?

Harry Potter’s Jamie Waylett was arrested in London after police found eight bags of weed in his car and a marijuana plant in his home. Meanwhile, Britney Spears walked off the stage of her Vancouver concert for 40 minutes because she couldn’t handle all the weed smoke. Michael Phelps chugged from a bottle of Grey Goose at Marquee on Tuesday night and made out with his “girlfriend,” a cocktail waitress. He then introduced himself to UConn basketball hotshot Hasheem Thabeet, who had no clue who he was.

Peter Sarsgaard told Cindy Adams that he plays “a pain in the ass” in The Mysteries of Pittsburgh with Sienna Miller. Miller, meanwhile, got flack for referring to Pittsburgh as “S—sburgh.” But she says it was all a fun little rhyming game. “In England, we have great rhyming slang,” she explains. “Everyone spends their day rhyming.” Sources say that the recently padlocked Beatrice Inn will reopen for its sceney regulars next week. But with his hipster hangout currently closed, the club’s owner, Paul Sevigny, D.J.-ed at Greenhouse last night. Peaches Geldof thought it would be fun to fling her shoe into a crowd at London’s Bungalow 8. It hit a woman, then Geldof tried to arrest the woman’s boyfriend.

Michelle Williams picked up her and Heath Ledger’s daughter, Matilda, from Isabella’s on the Upper West Side, where the youngster was dining with Williams’s current boyfriend, director Spike Jonze. Martha Stewart twittered through dinner at Waverly. Broad Street’s Setai luxury condo tower is launching a members-only club along the lines of Soho House. While everyone else will have to pay to join, Renée Zellweger, Forest Whitaker, Molly Sims, and Michael Strahan were given charter memberships for free. Keanu Reeves and Adrien Brody sported matching scruffy ‘staches at Long Beach’s Pro Celebrity car race. Tina Fey’s new West End neighbors just love her. We’re not surprised. And Whitney Houston is suing her stepmom, who won’t leave the singer’s New Jersey condo, for $1.6 million. But Houston’s stepmom sued her in 2003, so she’s just getting even.

The TV at Telephone Bar on Second Avenue was showing decade-old footage of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy strutting down a runway in skimpy lingerie. Halle Berry says that dating a younger man, model Gabriel Aubry, helps her “keep [her] mojo mojo-in’.” And speaking of mojo, the 85-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt says that her steamy novel, Obsession: An Erotic Tale, came out of her subconscious as she slept. Yipes.
