• The arrangement between Padma Lakshmi and her reported babydaddy Adam Dell is about to get interesting. Some are saying that Dell hired super lawyer Bill Zabel to try to get more time with his daughter, Krishna, but a source close to Padma says the pair already has a deal that keeps the father's involvement in raising his daughter negligible. Oh, guys, instead of fighting, maybe you can just have a cook-off? [P6]

• Reese Witherspoon celebrated her birthday by heading out in public in Ojai, California, with CAA agent Jim Toth, her new man. It's been rumored that the duo have been together for a bit now and they've been denying it, but now the coupling is official, at least according to the tabloids. They first had dinner in January, shortly after Witherspoon parted ways with Jake Gyllenhaal, but said that they only had a business relationship. Now it appears that they are in the business of getting busy. Good for you, Reese. And we're glad Jake is still on the market. [Gatecrasher]

• Damn, Bethenny Frankel must have done something really bad to the other Real Housewives of New York! She could only get one of her castmates, boring old Alex McCord, to show up for her baby shower Saturday. The ladies were inexplicably taking pictures in front of a '64 Mustang convertible and dancing in the streets of the Meatpacking District. Nothing says "baby" quite like classic cars and cheesy nightspots. [Gatecrasher]

• Now that Jesse James is in the doghouse thanks to his very public affair with tattooed stripper Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, his ex-wife, porn star Janine Lindemulder, filed papers to try to get partial custody of the couple's daughter. Right now James and Bullock have full custody, but Lindemulder—currently in a halfway house after being convicted of tax evasion—thinks Bullock will divorce James and that she'll have an in to get more time with her daughter. Wow, is Sandy B the only classy woman that James has ever been with? [TMZ]

• It's a publicity ploy that has gotten way too popular these days, and we just can't help ourselves from taking the bait. Porn empire Vivid Entertainment has offered Octomom Nadya Suleman $460,000—the balance owed on her soon-to-be-foreclosed house—if she'll make a hardcore movie for the company. That sounds like a bargain to us, but does anyone really want to see that? [TMZ]

• After Elin Woods found out about Tiger's dirty "sexts" she took the kids and headed to their yacht for the weekend—without him. She also probably didn't want to be around the drama of his two short interviews on ESPN and the Golf Channel. Her aquatic refuge is famously called "Privacy" and you can't blame the lady for wanting a little. [RadarOnline]

• Katherine Heigl almost put on a bigger show than anticipated at the ShoWest awards in Las Vegas last night. When giving her acceptance speech holding the trophy for Female Star of the Year, the strap of her dress broke, and she quickly held up the fabric over her bosom. Who was the night in shining armor who held up her bodice while she finished her speech? Billy Bush! We figured he would have let it go and snagged the "Exclusive Katherine Heigl Nip Slip" shots for Access Hollywood. Anyway, she went backstage and found a safety pin, which is either great news or unfortunate, depending on how you feel about Heigl's boobs. [NYDN]

• There is plenty of drama going on with the Sandra Bullock, Jesse James, tattooed lady Michelle Bombshell McGee saga. Sadly, most of the new info is about McGee, who was apparently a webcam model and posed for a photo shoot dressed as a Nazi. James has publicly apologized to his wife and children. In a statement released to People he doesn't deny the affair, but he says that most of what has been reported is untrue. Meanwhile, McGee has returned to her Twitter account with such revealing missives as "suck it!!," "thanks for the support," and "I really want some Ben and jerrys half baked ice cream." We're sure we'll be hearing all about this story in the weeks to come. It's being covered more than McGee's skin by tattoos. [TMZ, People, RadarOnline]

Between these two shows, American Idol, and America's Got Talent, every aspiring famous person with even a scintilla of ability will have been on television by 2013. [E Online]

• Real Housewife of New York Ramona Singer is being attacked, not by one of the ladies on the show, but her pissed off decorator, Rona Landman. Landman claims that she worked on several rooms in Singer's house, including her daughter's room, for free in order for the publicity from being on the show. Now her segments are on the cutting room floor. Even worse, Singer did a spread in a newspaper claiming she designed the whole pad herself. Landman says she's been calling Singer to get the $20K she thinks is owed her and Ramona says she doesn't have any reception. We're sure the dog ate her homework too. [Gatecrasher]

• Poor, shy Heidi Montag could not keep her breasts covered while filming a bit role for an Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston comedy. Her slutty sailor outfit may suggest the role is a sight gag about plastic bimbos, but recall that Heidi's entire life is a sight gag, so it's impossible to differentiate between trashy performances for the movie cameras and trashy performances for the paparazzi. It's all part of the existential riddle that is Heidi Montag-Pratt. [PopSugar]

• What ruined Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes' marriage? Revolutionary Road, starring Kate and directed by Sam, depicting a disintegrating marriage. Tension on set became tension at home. It's a persuasive explanation, repeated in two celebrity outlets, but maybe too pat. (Especially since Kate won a Golden Globe for that movie! That's the opposite of a mood-killer.) Until one of their nannies sells a story to the tabloids, I'm not biting. [People] [DailyMail]

Or, maybe they split up long ago and she's going public now since she knows it'll come up during book tour. Either way, she wants you to know, "Some people get excited about being single. i don't."

• Ashley Dupre's hair lit on fire during her Playboy photo shoot. Apparently she was lounging lustily among candles when "a few strands of her hair caught on fire because of all the hairspray. The hairstylist Jorge Serrano and was the first one to notice and rushed over to put it out with his hands." Given the number of highly flammable synthetic substances at Playboy shoots, it's a wonder this didn't turn into the soft core porn version of the Triangle fire, where all the factory girls rip their clothes off and try to stop the inferno by beating the flames with their lace negligees. Which are themselves flammable, so it only gets worse! Point being: You're at 14:55 of your fifteen minutes, Dupre. Use it wisely. [People]

• Charlie Sheen is back on the set of Two and a Half Men, sober coach on hand, and a memo announcing that any staffer caught leaking will be fired. Obviously, the memo failed. [TMZ]

Page Six reports that Adam Dell is the father of the baby that is due to come out of Padma next month, though Padma (who was also linked to rich person and IMG-owner Teddy Forstmann) has not confirmed this.

If you are considering taking Dell's Columbia class, his class materials are available on this awesome website. The class looks totally mind-blowing.

This class is quite different from others you might have taken. We do not use case studies; we do not read academic texts. Instead, we draw upon two books. The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, which explains how trends start, why broken windows cause more crime and why yawns are contagious. We also read Complexity by Mitchell Waldrop, a book which some believe explains everything.

So you read Gladwell and then discuss the success of companies like Ford and, yes, Dell, in terms of evolutionary biology. This baby will be a genius.

(Another picture of Dell, available at New York Social Diary, suggests that he might be tall.)

• Grey hair was all the rage at Paris' haute couture shows, but it's sort of a trick, because only the frightfully young can pull it off: If you're anywhere near the age where your faux grey could be confused with real grey, the jig is up. Nonetheless, aging supermodel Kate Moss dared to go grey, but offset it with the shortest skirt known to man. (Remember: Supermodel years are like dogs years. She's 36 to us, but in Model that's 98.) She ditched the look 24 hours later, but the intervening gorgeousness begs the question: Is Kate forever young, elegantly old, or so damn trendy it doesn't matter? [DailyMail]

• The timing of Chelsea Handler's breakup is terrible, because her memoir—which comes out in March—talks about how in love she was with Comcast president Ted Harbert. (Sort of her boss?)

• Padma Lakshmi's miracle baby is due next month, and Page Six has a new pick for baby daddy: Adam Dell, venture capitalist and "tech-savvy younger brother of billionaire computer maker Michael Dell." They used to think it was "corporate buyout king" Teddy Forstmann, but apparently he's just "wonderful and supportive." Padma's big on baby privacy, but I'm hoping she drops it long enough to do the celebrity baby picture magazine thing. Because glowing Padma + gurgling infant might be a sight spectacular enough to end world hunger or start The Rapture. [P6]
