New best friends, tour mates, or just friendly neighbors?

Diddy was seen leaving the home of Miley Cyrus last weekend, and speculation is rampant as to what the unlikely duo were doing inside her home.

There have been rumors that Diddy will make a guest appearance on her upcoming tour, while others say he was simply locked out of his house in their Toluca Lake, Calif., neighborhood.

Love is in the air for the “Real Housewives of New York City.”

Spies caught Countess LuAnn de Lesseps — who’s separated from hubby Alexandre — letting out her inner cougar at Georgica in East Hampton.

“LuAnn was drinking, dancing and making out with a young guy in his late 20s,” says an eyewitness.

Meanwhile, Kelly Bensimon got cozy with Gerard Butler at a recent Cinema Society/Details party. After the two nuzzled, the hot Scot went to confide in Dan Abrams, while Bensimon squealed to pals, “I don’t want Dan to say anything bad about me to Gerard!”

Apparently he didn’t — after Bensimon left the fete early, we caught the “300” actor cooing into his cell phone at 2 a.m., “Where are you? Where did you go?”

Bensimon’s reps were unavailable for comment.

Anne Hathaway thinks she might be crazy to attempt it, but she’s ready to conquer Broadway as Judy Garland.

“I think I’m either naive or insane to play her — maybe a little bit of both!” the starlet confided to us backstage at Sunday night’s Tony Awards. She added that she plans on getting a little help with her role in the upcoming “Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland” from Garland’s daughter Liza Minnelli. “I haven’t had a chance to talk to her about.

it yet, but I understand that as long as I treat Judy with respect — which of course I will — Liza is very happy about it.”

HOT-tempered Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott are said to be squabbling like a couple of gladiators on the British set of their latest collaboration, Universal’s big-budget Robin Hood flick.

“The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other,” an insider told Page Six. “Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions of dollars.”

It would be the latest glitch for the $175 million movie, which was originally titled “Nottingham” but is now just “Untitled Robin Hood Project.”

Last December, we revealed how Crowe no longer wanted to work with Scott, whom he blamed for their disastrous fourth collaboration, “Body of Lies.” Then, in January, we reported how the Oscar-winning hothead ordered producers to get a new director and demanded script rewrites that devoted more of the plot to him.

The delays caused Sienna Miller to drop out, and Crowe had to go on a crash diet to drop 35 pounds because, as one producer noted, “We can’t have Robin Hood looking more like Friar Tuck.”

Crowe’s publicist, Alan Nierob, denied that there’s any friction between star and director, insisting, “It’s a good scene down there. Everything is on schedule.”

Universal chairman Marc Shmuger told us: “Ridley and Russell asked us to visit . . . to see more than an hour of footage they’ve already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular . . . We couldn’t be more excited by what we saw. Russell and Ridley are working on their fifth film together and have one of the strongest and most collaborative working relationships. When it’s news that a studio chairman and a film’s producer [Brian Grazer] visit a production, it must be a very slow gossip day.”

Crowe recently told Live News the title of the picture, which co-stars fellow Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, may be changed to “Robin Hood” in order to market it more easily next May.

The Stephanie Seymour-Peter Brant divorce got even crazier Saturday night when the supermodel was issued a public-disturbance summons after she yanked the keys out of a Brant-hired security guard’s car, threw them in the bushes, and then used her Range Rover to block the driveway of the couple’s Greenwich, Conn., estate, Police Lt. Richard Cochran told The Post’s Dan Mangan. On Thursday, a Brant guard was busted for allegedly shoving Seymour. Cochran said Seymour since has hired her own guards. Brant’s rep, Howard Rubenstein, said Brant, who was in Europe, “was disappointed” by his wife’s actions.

Chris Brown, who’s been accused of beating up Rihanna, sure seems to need a lot of protection for himself. Brown was spotted at Blade Lounge in Miami’s Fontainebleau “surrounded by bodyguards.” Our spy said, “He had at least three security people with him at all times.” Later that night, he upped his detail to five when he went to Liv nightclub in the same hotel with Khloe Kardashian and Omarion.

GOTCHA! We caught lovebirds KATE Hudson and A-Rod exiting the club 40/40 late Sunday night. In typical sneaky celeb fashion, they left separately. The skirt-chasing Yankee and the blond “Bride Wars” star were there for the bachelor party of Bombers catcher José Molina. A-Rod co-owns the club and brought his new gal pal to party with teammates C.C. Sabathia and Mariano Rivera, as well as Carl Crawford of the Tampa Bay Rays. Sorry guys — we’re on to you!

For the 100th episode of their hit TLC show, Jon and Kate Gosselin welcomed celeb chef Emeril Lagasse into their Wernersville, Pa., kitchen, which Kate dubbed “an unsightly mess.”

He helped them prepare green bean casserole, granola and chili mac. (The show was taped back in March, months before news broke of the couple’s crumbling marriage.)

Emeril asked Kate if Jon was good in the kitchen.

“Not so much,” Kate replied without hesitation.

Later, Kate sarcastically joked to her husband: “Jon, do you know where the oven is?”

“Let me point to it!” he quickly replied.

Kate got a kick that Jon’s main assignment was to peel garlic.

“I don’t cook,” Jon said, “but apparently I am good in the food prep area.”

The highlight of the meal for Jon?

Seeing Emeril take over the kitchen.

“That’s Kate’s territory,” Jon explained. “And he went into her territory, which is funny because he took control and pushed her out of the way and did his thing.”

Kate still managed to get her say, playfully slapping Emeril with a cooking utensil which she told him was better to use for scraping food out of a bowl.

“I did slap Emeril,” Kate later admitted. “Then I went, ‘Oh, sorry!’”

While preparing the meal, Emeril congratulated Jon on their 100th episode.

“I don’t know how you made it,” he told the father of eight.

Replied Jon, “I don’t, either.”

At the end of the show, the family sat and enjoyed their meal. “It was nice - we sat around with him and ate dinner,” said Kate.

Said Jon, “I hope he comes back someday.”

Before the show ended, Jon said in a voiceover, “This was a special episode because this was our 100th episode. It’s pretty amazing.”

“What an accomplishment,” Kate said in a voiceover as she gave her family high-fives.
