Tamra Barney, one of the stars of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County, was so heartbroken by her holiday split from her overprotective husband Simon, she’s rebounded right into the arms of one of his friends.

Funny how that happens……

Simon says he walked into a club in Sin City last Saturday night to find Tamra snuggling up with his buddy, Eddie Judge.

“I saw them holding hands and acting like a couple,” Simon told RadarOnline.com. “As soon as Tamra saw me, she let go of his hand and walked away. I went up to Eddie and asked him if he’s (bleeping) my wife. He didn’t say a word,” he said. “I couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed – the ultimate betrayal by a pal and my estranged wife.”

Simon filed for divorce from Tamra, citing “acts of disloyalty and infidelity,” on Jan. 6. Tamra has vehemently denied Simon’s cheating allegations, but does admit that she’s been seeing Eddie for “about a week.”

David Letterman’s TV sidekick was hospitalized early Tuesday after a game of catch on the show went wrong. The talk show host was enjoying a break during the taping of CBS’ Late Show when he started passing the pigskin to stage manager, Biff Henderson, who is often involved in comedy segments for the show.

But Letterman’s last throw to his sidekick went wrong when Henderson, 63, moved to catch the ball and tumbled off the stage in front of the studio audience. Before he knew Henderson was hurt, Letterman quipped, “I can smell a lawsuit. “ After the injured Late Show stage manager began complaining of pain in his knees, he was wheeled to a waiting ambulance outside the Ed Sullivan Theater and rushed to nearby Roosevelt Hospital. Biff was treated for a leg injury and later released.

Sunday’s Super Bowl surpassed M*A*S*H’s 1983 series finale as the Most Watched TV Program of All Time. According to Nielsen, 106.5 million viewers watched this weekend’s game on CBS, as opposed to the 105.97 million viewers that watched the M*A*S*H farewell– at a time when far fewer homes had television sets. So how does Alan Alda — who played Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce on the iconic comedy — feel about having the New Orleans Saints marching all over M*A*S*H’s 27-year-old record?

“I’m happy for New Orleans,” he told The New York Times Monday. “I want to see that city come out first in every way that it can, even if it means giving up a record that ‘M*A*S*H’ held for a long time.”

Nonetheless, Alda couldn’t help but wonder how accurate the numbers really are: “I know it sounds evil to mention, but how does Nielsen know how many actual people were watching either broadcast?” he asked.

Charlie Sheen is moving back in with his wife, Brooke Mueller, according to her lawyer.

The actor was charged with felony menacing, third degree assault and misdemeanour criminal mischief in court in Aspen, Colorado on Monday in relation to a Christmas Day fight in which Sheen allegedly threatened to kill his wife at knifepoint.

Mueller told police the couple had argued and that Sheen pulled out a knife and held it to her throat when she threatened to divorce him and take their children. At the time, the star denied brandishing the knife but admitted crumpling his wife’s eyeglasses and said both of them had slapped each other’s arms, according to court records.

Sheen did not enter a plea, but a protective order that has separated the spouses since the incident nearly two months ago was lifted. Brooke and Charlie were allowed to fly back to Los Angeles together after the ban was modified, according to Mueller’s lawyer Yale Galanter. The attorney admits his client is eager to reconcile with the Two and a Half Men star for the sake of their infant twin sons.

“Brooke’s desire was to get the order modified so they could have contact and communicate because of their children. Judge Boyd was gracious enough to grant that and now Charlie and Brooke are on their way back to L.A. to continue their lives,” Galanter said speaking to E! News on Monday. “We need to give them a chance to be alone and catch up on everything that has happened over the last couple of months. We’ll see what happens.”

Charlie and Brooke have been married since 2008.

A Playboy shareholder has filed a lawsuit against the magazine’s founder, Hugh Hefner, for refusing to sell the brand despite its declining worth.

The class action lawsuit maintains that in the past six months Hefner has deliberately sabotaged two potential deals to sell off the adult magazine — which the shareholder claims is falling apart. The plaintiff alleges that the 83-year-old hustler enjoys the company of young models too much to give up Playboy.

“If you were Hugh Hefner… would you give up the parade of busty blondes, the fancy mansion and the reality TV show for a pay-out?” an investment company that analyzed Playboy’s business claims said in the lawsuit filed on Monday. “Hefner has continued to live the good life and make sure everyone knows it. Hefner remains in the limelight, showing up at media events and at the Playboy mansion… with his girlfriends by his side.”

The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages.

The 24-year-old actress – who’s up for a Best Actress Oscar at next month’s Academy Awards — is believed to be in talks with the producers of the upcoming musical movie after fellow British starlet Keira Knightley passed on the role last month.

“The actress has not been formally offered the part yet – and won’t be until Columbia Pictures agrees the film’s budget. Carey and the My Fair Lady filmmakers will keep talking until a deal can be struck,” Daily Mail columnist Baz Bamigboye dished this week.
