‘HOUSEWIFE” DANIELLE STAUB’S CHANEL HANDBAG LAYAWAY DIDN’T WORK OUT

Recently Danielle Staub, who was booted off “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” was celebrating her “two new reality shows” by having lunch at The Ivy on Robertson Blvd. According to our nosey source, her table manners were questionable and she “devoured the basket of bread like a piranha.” After lunch, she went to the Chanel store and picked out three handbags that added up to way over $14,000. She put them on hold, confiding with a wink, that she hoped her new TV producers would pay for them. She never came back.

Rihanna made a live appearance at the London Topshop after five fans won a contest for a styling session with her. The singer selected outfits in the store for each of them. Afterward she dressed herself up in this unexpected combo of a tailored jacket, a “she died of perfection” t shirt, poufy ballerina skirt, and heels with white socks, and went shopping in London for HERSELF.

EVEN WEARING BLACK DOESN’T MAKE MARIAH CAREY LOOK SLIM

Holidays affect Mariah Carey in exactly the opposite way that they affect Meg Ryan. It looks like Mariah HAS been stuffing herself with holiday sweets. They’re pictured her at Heathrow airport and even though she’s wearing black, Mariah looks far from svelte. Is she beefing up because she‘s having fertility treatments to become pregnant – or just eating too much? You be the judge. Either way, hubby Nick Cannon doesn’t seem to mind in the slightest.

TYRA BANKS WAS CANCELLED – SHE DIDN’T QUIT!

Sure, she’d like you to think she’s walking away – but Tyra GOT CANCELLED. On Monday she called her staffers together for a meeting and made the announcement that the show was cancelled. Tyrannical Tyra does NOT treat her employees well like Oprah does- they were the last to know. She’s always given them chintzy Christmas gifts and this year they got pink slips. She told everyone to get their resumes together. An insider told us the show was cancelled simply because it cost too much – it never recovered financially from the move from LA to NY that Tyra insisted on, plus Tyra’s salary was huge.

BETWEEN PRODUCTIONS, BYRON ALLEN TAKES A VACATION

It’s Byron Allen and his wife Jennifer Lucas, who’s expecting their second child, vacationing in Hawaii. Byron is one of the hardest working guys in show biz – both in front of the cameras (he hosts “Comics Unleashed”) and producing shows behind the scenes. We were lucky to recently appear on a pilot Byron produced called “Gossip Queens.” It’s a show where comics meet those crazy gossip bloggers you can’t live without. It’s fun to meet the bloggers in person and they all have entertaining stories. Hopefully, the show will be picked up!

LISA BONET NEVER SEEMED TO WORRY ABOUT HER CAREER

Whatever happened to Lisa Bonet’s career? In the late eighties she was an overnight star when she appeared on “The Cosby Show” as Denise Huxtable. Did she ever care about acting? She dropped out of the show and only lasted a season on “A Different World.” Movies beckoned but Lisa yawned. After she did the x-rated “Angel Heart” with Mickey Rourke, she turned her attention to Lenny Kravitz. Six years of marriage later she had daughter Zoe (now 21, above) but still a minimal career. Now she seems perfectly happy with “Stargate Atlantis” hunk Jason Momoa – they have two children-Lola, 2, and Nakoa-Wolf, 1. All these years, and “The Cosby Show” is still what Lisa is remembered for. She DOES seem to be having a happy holiday with her family.

KIMBERLEY CONRAD HEFNER SAYS GOODBYE TO PLAYBOY PERKS

Another reminder that the world of Playboy isn’t what it used to be. Hugh Hefner is finally in the process of divorcing his wife Kimberley Conrad (they’ve been separated for ten years.) It all started when Hugh gave Kimberly nine months to move out of the mansion next door to his so he could sell it. She sued him for half the price of the house and he filed for divorce. He’s been supporting the former Playmate in high style all these years but that’s apparently over. Kimberley was seen flying alone in COACH class on Southwest Airlines from Reno to LAX, where she had to collect and schlep her own luggage. No more private jets or bodyguards. She did not look happy- or glamorous- according to another passenger, she kept a knit cap pulled down and wore a bulky coat. Incidentally, her two sons with Hef, Marston and Cooper, are both in college and Hef continues to support them. (Above, Kimberley was photographed with Quincy Jones)

SCOTT DISICK IS SPENDING HIS BABY PHOTO MONEY

Kourtney Kardashian’s shady baby-daddy Scott Disick continues to live up to his reputation as an arrogant moocher and party-hound. Not much is known about Disick’s past, but his present is nothing to rave about. He has no career or job, and spends his free time flirting with women and enjoying the notoriety he’s gotten from appearing on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Even the Kardashian family doesn’t speak highly of him, and hope that Kourtney won’t marry him. Apparently he lives on the money he gets from the TV show and his split of the money for selling photos of his baby. Today he was seen in his usual Euro-preppie attire, with a male friend at La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills – holding court at a table while star-struck tourists asked him questions and ”lapping up the attention.”

DR ROBERT REY IS READY TO CHECK YOUR HEARTBEAT AT ALL TIMES

Dr Robert Rey never fails to attract our attention- even when he’s taking a break from plastic surgery at Starbucks. It’s interesting that he never removes that stethoscope around his neck – is it a fashion accessory? Our internist doesn’t even wear one of those. Also, Puff Daddy will be happy to know that it looks like the Dr 90210 star wears Crocs too.

WHO WILL PAMELA ANDERSON’S HANDSOME SON BRANDON TAKE AFTER?

Pamela Anderson’s son Brandon, 13, is turning into quite a looker and we can’t decide if he’ll start getting tattoos like his father Tommy Lee, or rebel against his parents’ lifestyle and turn into a brainy studious type or a clean-cut athlete. Pam seems like a hands-on mother, but we wonder how all that obvious sexuality at home will affect her sons.
