Judges for the Fox reality series “Skating With Celebrities” have pleaded with contestants to show more passion together.
Well, Lloyd Eisler and Kristy Swanson apparently listened. Star magazine reports the Canadian ice skater Eisler and his actress partner are having a steamy affair. Eisler told his wife of four years, Marcie, when she was eight months pregnant with their second child. The couple signed their separation agreement in November, Star reported.
Swanson and Eisler have reached the finals to air March 2 against Jillian Barberie and John Zimmerman.
50 Cent claims fellow rap star Kanye West “paid” for his two Grammy Awards. Quoted by the Melbourne Herald Sun, 50 said, “The Grammy Awards go by, and they give Kanye West more trophies. Kanye West bought those trophies, and he doesn’t even realize it.” “Fiddy” claims the Grammys reward artists who perform at the ceremony. A performance at the 2005 Grammys would have cost him $300,000, 50 said.
A Grammy administrator rejected the claims.
Just who is that guy with Halle Berry?
TV gossip show “Access Hollywood” reports Gabriel Aubry is not just arm candy. Aubry, 30, commands $30,000 a day as a model, and this year is featured in ad campaigns for Gap, Versace and Hugo Boss.
Aubry met Berry four months ago, his agent Sean Patterson told “Access Hollywood.” “It was something that was completely unexpected, and he’s just enjoying each day as it goes by, and he’s very, very happy right now.”
Well, it’s not like he’s dating Courtney Love.
Is Jessica Simpson working in the public relations biz?
New York publicist Stephen Bender told the New York Post he recently got a call from a frantic PR flack about an event by designer Kai Milla.
The young lady screamed at Bender, “How dare you use Mandy Moore’s name for an event you are doing when she is not even in New York!” Bender asked for details, and she replied, “You have Mandy Moore’s name on the press release for this Stevie Wonder concert.”
Milla is Wonder’s wife, and Bender checked the release after the PR flack shouted, “Why is she on your media alert? Don’t ever use her name ever!” Bender noted to the ditzy lady that the media alert “lists several names and then says many more, not Mandy Moore.”
As Emily Litella would have said, “Never mind.”

Did Abdul pull a fast one on Dr. Phil?
Dr. Phil sent a lonesome and teary-eyed Paula Abdul on 10 blind dates for his Tuesday night CBS special. But a source told MSNBC.com’s Jeannette Walls, the “American Idol” judge doesn’t need a man. “It’s all so weird because Paula has a boyfriend,” the source said. “She’s been dating this model named Dante Spencer for months.” Abdul’s spokeswoman insists the two broke up “a while ago” – but could not say when.
