Melissa Rivers is reportedly dating XXX honcho Steven Hirsch — the man responsible for bringing the sex tapes of Kim Kardashian, Pam Anderson and Kendra Wilkinson to the masses.

According to TMZ.com, the host of E!’s “Fashion Police” and the Vivid Entertainment CEO met through “mutual friends” and have been dating for “a couple of weeks.”

What the 43-year-old divorcee and the man who offered Pippa Middleton $5,000,000 to perform in an adult movie have in common is anyone’s guess, but a source insists that “the relationship is going great.”

So far, Joan Rivers, who costars with her daughter in “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best” on WE tv, has remained mum on her daughter’s new paramour.

Lindsay Lohan was wearing a little bit more on the beach in Hawaii this weekend than she’s wearing in the January/February issue of Playboy that got leaked on Friday.

Lohan was photographed enjoying the surf and sand on Saturday, the day her purse got stolen and $10,000 in cash was removed from it before it was returned.

(Some reports say she got the cash for posing for paparazzi shoots, like maybe this one.)

Regardless, Lohan didn’t look too upset that her nude spread for Playboy had been released ahead of schedule by a Russian hacker who found the entire January/February issue circulating on peer-to-peer sites unauthorized before its official release, pieced it together page by page, and released it on the site Worldmags.net.

Lohan, 25, meanwhile, is due back in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday for a probation hearing.

Kevin Federline rushed to hospital after collapsing while filming weight loss show, reports say

KFed Fat

Britney Spears’ ex-husband had a misfire with his battle of the bulge.

Kevin Federline was hospitalized in Australia for “heat stress” while filming “Excess Baggage,” the Oz version of “Celebrity Fit Club.”

E! News reported that the competition was filming in the Kimberley region of Outback Western Australia in November, which is “widely regarded as one of the most remote and hostile parts of the country,” when Federline was “taken to hospital as he was showing signs of heat stress.”

November is the hottest month of the year in the Outback, with daily temperatures averaging more than 100 degrees.

Happily, the former backup dancer and occasional rapper recovered and resumed filming the series, which is set to debut on the Nine Network in Australia next year.

This isn’t Federline’s first public attempt to lose the pounds he piled on since marrying–and divorcing–America’s favorite pop tart. He lost 30 lbs. during 2010’s “Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp” on VH1, falling 55 lbs. short of his goal to lose 85 lbs.

KFed and Britney

“Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything,” Federline told “Access Hollywood” of his weight gain following his divorce from Spears. “Everybody knows what happened with me and Brit–I’m not going to say that’s the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression.”
