Tennis champs Serena and Venus Williams kicked off the action at the USTA and Heineken’s US Open Player Party inside the Empire Hotel in New York City Friday night.
In color-coordinated outfits in white and black, the Williams sisters made a splash at the night’s festivities. “There were surrounded by friends, and they looked happy,” a spy at the festivities spills to CGL.
That’s a good thing. A bum foot from a recent fault may keep Serena from playing in this year’s tournament, but she kept up her spirits, telling her girlfriends their butts looked “damn fine” that evening. That’s what a tennis body gets yah!
Busy mom Bethenny Frankel loves to load up on all the things she needs for three-month-old baby Bryn and hubby Jason Hoppy without ever leaving home. And what’s the one beauty item she likes to stock up on most?
“Any kind of baby wipes,” The Real Housewives of New York City star declared yesterday at a tasty breakfast sponsored by Drugstore.com inside the newly renovated R Lounge at the Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel in New York City. Of course, CGL was there.
“They’re great for under my eyes and the baby’s butt, and for wiping counters,” Bethenny shared with us before joking, “I’m going to wipe each of you before you leave.”
While that item definitely takes up much space in Bethenny’s virtual shopping cart, she always makes sure there’s a little extra room for a household regular, Metamucil!
“This and prune juice are my life,” Bethenny exclaimed holding up the familiar colorful canister.
“We call it orange in the house. It was one of the must bring items to the hospital when pregnant, though I didn’t know you weren’t allowed to eat or drink anything. I was happier about going to the bathroom than I was about having the baby. “
We’re sure both have been a pretty satisfying experience, Bethenny!

CGL is glad to see there’s one mom in Hollywood who’s not afraid to show how she’s dropping her baby weight. There’s no starvation diets or declarations of the weight just “falling off” for Amy Adams. She’s doing it with good old-fashioned exercise.
The “Julie & Julia” star was spotted jogging while pushing three-month-old daughter Aviana Olea Le Gallo in the streets of Studio City, Calif, on Aug. 20.
The next night, Amy showed off her hard work in a curve-loving strapless dress at the Angel Awards 2010 annual gala, which recognizes corporations committed to aiding Project Angel Food. The nonprofit organization prepares and delivers meals to those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in Los Angeles. Julia presented an award to Paramount Pictures.
Working out has also helped Amy avoid the postpartum depression some women suffer after giving birth. “She was upbeat and fun,” a source at the event spills to CGL. “And she looked amazing.”
Exercise does a body good!

It’s nice to know that Jon Voight knows how to schedule a little fun into a busy day.
At the SoFox All-Star Party at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, Calif. Monday night, CGL caught Jon — also known as Angelina Jolie’s dad! — trying his luck at the Fool the Guesser booth, where the attendant attempted to name Jon’s birthday month.
Jon lucked out when the guesser erroneously announced his birthday was in May. The “Midnight Cowboy” Academy Award nominee will celebrate 72 glorious years on Dec. 29. Jon won a plush stuffed animal from the booth, which he clung to proudly.
Surprisingly, not one of his six grandkids may get to add the toy to their collection.
“If I get something for one of them, I’ve got to get for all six,” he told CGL about his reservations of passing on his prize to one of Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt’s children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne or Knox.
Don’t cry kiddies. CGL is pretty sure Jon spent the rest of the night trying to win five more toys for each one of you!

CGL knows how important it is to be a great dinner party guest. We always bring a bottle of bubbly. And Steve Carell knows it too.
On the NYC red carpet premiere of his new film, “Dinner for Schmucks,” we asked Steve his tips on being a great guest, which he answered politely (just one character trait that’s appreciated by any dinner host).
Steve then revealed who he’d invite to a dinner party. Check it all out here.
We also spoke to “Schmucks” star Larry Wilmore who told us the key to being a dinner party guest that will definitely keep you off the next party list. After all, it’s important to know what not to do as well!
“Dinner For Schmucks” opens nationwide Friday, July 30.
Designer to the Stars Kenny Davis has worked with Paris Hilton, P. Diddy and 50 Cent, turning their rooms into major masterpieces. Which is why CGL couldn’t resist spending an afternoon with him.

CGL spent the weekend in the Hamptons, N.Y., getting up close and personal with Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
The new parents put in an appearance Saturday at the Opening Day of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge at Blue Star Jets Field in Bridgehampton, N.Y.
While there’s been lots of talk of the couple being on the outs for a myriad of reasons (or on the verge of a wedding, depending our which report you’re inclined to believe), the two were the picture of happiness Saturday. Scott was on his best behavior, posing on the carpet in a cream white blazer with Kourtney at his side in the blazing 94-degree sun.
The two then retreated to the VIP SWAGG tent for some much needed shade. While the lollipop shrimp, Pop Chips and Patron flowed freely, Kourtney, who has already regained her figure seven months after son Mason’s birth, passed on the treats, choosing instead to take out some time for her fans and posed with them for several pictures. (We can’t say the same for CGL!)
“They were really relaxed and talking with people inside the tent. They were very approachable,” an insider shared with us.
Kourtney and Scott then braved the hot sun again to take in a few moments of the action on the green before jumping back into their car — sans handlers –- as Scott personally drove his lady off the lot. We’re pretty sure he kept her cool too with the air conditioner at full blast. Looks like he’s learning some responsibility after all!
Other celebs in attendance included Starr Jones, who kept a low profile during the activities, and the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City.
Kelly Rutherford isn’t ready to jump back into the dating pool just yet.
“When you have small children, they’re your priority, and they should be your priority, at least for me,” the “Gossip Girl” star and single mom of two shared exclusively with CGL when we sat down for a chat at Hayneedle.com’s Home Design exhibit in Midtown Manhattan this week.
“They’re little and I need to be with them.”
Right now, her children, Hermés, four, and Helena, one, are giving her plenty to smile about.
“My son is really into the superheroes and now he’s discovered Scooby Doo.”
Which kind of explains why Hermes dressed up like Spiderman that morning. After all, he takes the job of protecting little sis very seriously.
“He’s wonderful older brother. Sometimes he doesn’t get it and asks, ‘Why did she just hit me in the face,’ and I say that’s because she’s trying to get your attention and she can’t say hey Hermes,” Kelly shared. “They laugh a lot and they giggle and cuddle. It’s really cute.”
With moments like these, it’s easy to understand why Kelly feels she already has all the love she needs in her life.
“I don’t feel any rush or pressure,” she confessed about getting back into the dating scene. “I have more love in my life than I’ve ever had before with my children and I feel that I have a very full life right now.
“Unless it’s just a really amazing person, you don’t have time to think about it,” she continued. “I’m just trying to get some sleep.”
The Coyote Ugly star, who’s about to headline in the new butt-kicking TV series, “Covert Affairs,” got her body in major fighting form for the role studying Krav Maga, the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces.
“It’s pretty intense,” she confesses.
But so worth it. Now she can show off that fit physique at her favorite vacation getaway spot: Mexico City, Mexico!
“There’s a really big arts scene there,” Piper told CGL while celebrating her new series at the Soho Grand Hotel in New York City.
That would include La Colección Jumex, the largest contemporary art collection in Latin America, located on a private estate 12 miles outside the city.
Of course, there’s another reason Piper likes to make the trip.
“I think Mexican men are really sexy,” she shared.
We definitely say caliente to that!
