Nas & Kelis Reunite for Love ... of Hair

Nothing brings an estranged couple involved in a bitter divorce together ... like the opening of a hair salon.

Nas and Kelis
Nas and Kelis put away their financial differences and hung out with Russell Simmons at a gala for Hair Rules salon in New York last night.

Who cares about alimony and custody, when you find a place that busts a good weave?

Russell Simmons -- Not a Renaissance Man

Don't lick hip hop kingpin Russell Simmons -- 'cause he's not a sucker.

Our spies at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel tell us Simmons' assistant called recently to inquire about the Presidential Suites and packages. The guy was all ears, until the hotel rep dropped the price -- $51,000. Simmons' lackey said it was way too much and hung up.

For the record, the deal is for the "Ultimate Presidential" package. It includes a three-night stay in the hotel's Presidential or Mayflower Suite, limo service to and from the airport, his-and-hers inaugural jewelry, Dom Perignon champagne with Baccarat toasting flutes, in-room massage for two, 24-hour butler service, a custom-designed cocktail by the guy the hotel calls "legendary" bartender Sambonn Lek, inaugural petit fours, and his-and-hers inaugural garb from Burberry to keep guests warm during the ceremony.

Simmons is worth an estimated $300,000,000. How did he get so rich? By not blowing his money on stupid petit fours and toasting flutes.

Kimora's Russell Recon Smooth as Butter

Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou have been notably cloak-and-dagger about their relationship, going so far as to post waiters and heavies to keep things on the (relative) DL.


And last night, according to a TMZ spy, the cagey pair pulled up to Butter but -- oops -- they spotted a parked Maybach belonging to Kimora's estranged hubby Russell Simmons. Looking to avoid an awkward moment, Kimora's wheelman sidled up to Russell's driver and asked him whether Russell was inside with a galpal.

When the answer came back negative, Djimon and Kimora strolled in, and later, Mr. Simmons emerged by himself, letting his ex and her beau have some time to canoodle in peace.

John Mayer's Magical Back Door

In New York, it seems that face contortionist John Mayer took a break from hammerin' Cameron to contemplate the automatic trunk on his truck. Close sesame!


Mother lovin' Jeremy Piven was seen backin' dat truck up, after a trip to Colony Plaza in Malibu to buy an L.A. Times. Maybe he was checkin' to see if anyone gave "Smokin' Aces" a good review yet. Nope.

Outside of Chateau Marmont, Ashley Olsen got the Good Samaritan award for not running over any bumper humpin' photogs, and English bulldog Robbie Williams wagged his tuxedo tails and said, "I don't go to clubs anymore ... I don't like music or people." Take that!

Sean "Brick Brat" Stewart kept his mortar cannons in check while entering Il Sole, and an illin' solo Byron Allen and a date-laden Bill Maher grubbed it up at Mr. Chow.

Russell Simmons is on the just-divorced diet -- eating a tofu dinner at Koi. At Club Opera, the Black Eyed Peas court composer Allan Pineda Lindo said he's taking a break from the studio to chill -- while Fergie is busy stayin' hot!

All this and more in today's healthy choices edition of Star Catcher!
