This just in from the covert operations team at Hangin' in the Hamptons:

"James Blunt came by Dune in Southampton on Friday night. He was with some friends. They got a table and danced all night. The ladies were trying to get his attention but he didn't really pay attention and kept his back to the crowd."

Following her divorce -- finally -- from architect Peter Cook, Star magazine offered up a list of potential dates for the "still-sexy former supermodel" from Bridgehampton, Christie Brinkley. Hamptonite Alec Baldwin made it on the list because both stars are "politically active" and, with both 50 years old, "would have lots to talk about." And, the magazine reports, "there's always the topic of custody battles."

Are you crazier than Daisy de la Hoya? Hotter than Ambre? Do you feel that you're the only one out there who really knows how to love Bret Michaels and can rock his world like the 30 or so other chicks who tried but couldn't?

If you answered yes to at least one of those questions, or if you just want to party like a rock star on Saturday night, get out to Porky's Hamptons as Bret Michael's "Rock of Love" bus pulls into Hampton Bays for a Season 3 casting call.

That's right, Long Islanders. Bret Michaels is looking for love at a place called Porky's Hamptons. OK, so it's probably just the show's producers and minions doing it, but either way, wear the hottest, skimpiest gear you've got and leave your inhibitions at home, in your closet and behind that old pair of skinny jeans.

Season 3 of VH1's No. 1 rated reality show takes the girlies out of the mansion and puts them on a tour bus in true rock star style. (Right now, you're thinking what I'm thinking, aren't you? "I didn't know you had a rock 'n roll record, until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket!")

As the press release mentions, the "Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels" is searching for: "Models, musicians, artists, rocker chicks, and any fun single girls! Must be sexy, personable, energetic, edgy, hip, trendy!!! Tattoos, Wild hair, and a ROCK N’ ROLL personality are a PLUS!!!"

And so are we! Expect a few Hangin' in the Hamptons cameras to be floating around Porky's that night. We ain't looking for nothing but a good time, so show us what the cat dragged in Saturday night.C'mon, mama's fallen angels, you can win big.

While the tabloids report that actor Matthew Broderick is cheating Sarah Jessica Parker with a younger woman, he gives OK! the real story on what he's been doing this summer -- playing Legos on the beach with their 5-year-old son, James. The family has been staying at their Amagansett house. "I like a simple summer," Broderick tells the magazine. "I like to hang out with her and James, and have little to do." As for his relationship with Parker? "We're good friends, and we stick it out."
