WE don’t know what else Eli Manning got for his 28th birthday, but his wife gave him a sexy lap dance. The Giants QB and teammates Shaun O’Hara, David Diehl, Amani Toomer, Brandon Jacobs and Kevin Boss hit Tenjune on Little West 12th Street Friday. After a few rounds of tequila shots, our spy said Eli’s wife, Abby (above), “gave him a special lap dance” while Beyoncé’s hit, “Single Ladies,” blared. “They were trying to hide, but everyone on the dance floor could see them.”

The King of Pop is back - in town, that is.
Michael Jackson has signed a yearlong lease on a mansion in the swanky Bel Air area of the city, a spokesman for the singer said Wednesday.
Jackson has been staying in the estate for about a month, said spokesman Tohme Tohme, who called the property “a little bit more than an average home.”
The lease agreement is for $100,000 a month. The home has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and 12 fireplaces.
Jackson, 50, relocated to the city with his three children to be closer to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, said Tohme, promising that “the second half (of his career) will be better than the first.”

The plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother the day before she died has been sentenced to a year in jail for drunken driving, according to the Associated Press.
Dr. Jan Adams pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI last June.
Authorities say his Jaguar was spotted traveling the wrong way on Interstate 680 near Cordelia, California. The surgeon’s blood alcohol level was .20 percent.
Solano County Court Commissioner Ray Wieser sentenced Adams, 54, on Monday. His jail time will likely begin on Feb. 6, as he still needs time to address a probation violation case in L.A.
Adams performed a breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction on Donda West a day before she died in 2007. The Associated Press reports that an autopsy blamed heart disease coupled with complications from the surgery.

I’d love to say I hate to say “I told you so,” but who are we kidding? I love to (and I think perversely, you kinda like it when I do, too). And back in November I told you that by the end of 90210 V. 2.0’s freshman year Tori Spelling would likely be back among the fold as former virgin Donna Martin. Now, a show rep confirms that Spelling is in “final negotiations” to return for multiple episodes, adding that her deal could close as early as today.
Reportedly, a big point of contention for Spelling, who’s currently in Vancouver shooting her big Smallville return, was the threat of crossing paths again with sworn frenemy Shannen Doherty. But since the artist formerly known as Brenda Walsh has wrapped for the season, the set will be a Shan-free zone when La Spelling reports for duty on the last few eps.
So whad’ya think, folks? Are you psyched that Donna will once again be walking the halls of West Beverly High? Or are you just bummed that David Silver (the notorious BAG) won’t be joining her?

“I was so shocked!” she tells Us.
The 27-year-old Aguilar — who lost an impressive 110 lbs. (she went from 242 to 132 lbs.) — tells Us shopping for a wedding dress now is “absolutely liberating.
“Before, you have that fear: ‘Hey, can you pull me a size 20?’” says Aguilar, who is now a size 4 to 6. What girl wants to say that?”
She tells Us she “absolutely” plans to use some of her $250,000 Loser prize money to pay for the wedding.
They plan to wed in spring or fall 2009.

This small central Florida town is about as far from Hollywood as you can get. Maybe that’s why actor John Travolta moved his family here.
The town square features a fondue restaurant, the social scene revolves around ranchers’ soirees and horse riding is one of the main pastimes. Mobile home parks, peanut farms and moss-covered oak trees dot the landscape. There is little pretension or glitz.
Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston seem to fit in: They appeared on the cover of this month’s Ocala Style magazine with big smiles, wearing jeans and sweaters.
Now, with the death of their 16-year-old son Jett, this is where they have come to grieve. On Monday night - four days after Jett was found unconscious in the family’s vacation home in the Bahamas - Travolta and Preston flew back to Ocala.
The city is welcoming them quietly and respectfully.
Mayor Randy Ewers said the city sent the Travolta family condolences and would give them space and privacy.

“They’re fantastic people, really family oriented,” Ewers said. “We want to respect their privacy as much as possible.”
Doctors in the Bahamas performed an autopsy on Jett on Monday but did not release results. A Bahamas undertaker said the teen’s death certificate had “seizure” as the cause of death. The teen had a history of seizures; his body was cremated Monday and flown to the U.S. the same night.
A memorial service for Jett will be held Thursday for family and close friends in Ocala, his publicist said.
The Travoltas, who have been together since 1991, bought their unusual $8 million property in Ocala in 2003. The reason had nothing to do with the area’s famed thoroughbred horse farms: Travolta, an avid pilot, was looking for a home where he could fly his many planes, including a Boeing 707 airliner, right to his front door.
The estate, located in a subdivision that boasts the largest private residential runway in the country, was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest in 2004. The style was inspired by Morris Lapidus, the architect of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Eero Saarinen, designer of Washington Dulles International Airport.
“If I can look out the bedroom and see the planes, I am happy,” Travolta told The Associated Press last year.
His eldest son, Jett, and daughter, Ella, played happily around the mid-century compound.
“We’ve got a big pool, a slide and a golf course,” Preston told Architectural Digest. “We’re a family who likes to play a lot.”
And although that family traveled often for work - Travolta’s latest movie, “Bolt,” in which he does the voice for an animated dog, was just released - they also spent time in Ocala and the even smaller village of Anthony, which is right down the street from their home.
“I love rubbing elbows with life and real people,” Travolta, 54, once told the local newspaper, the Star-Banner. “I don’t like living in ivory towers. I want to enjoy life the way everybody else does.”
“He’s just, I don’t know, a normal person,” said Barbara Pound, a waitress at the Saddle Rack Cafe. She served him his favorite breakfast - a $6.49 western omelet - on a handful of occasions. “Nobody bothers him here. We let him have his peace.”
Travolta once brought his son into the cafe and the boy “wouldn’t stop smiling,” said manager Jackie Gomillion.
Others have spotted Travolta and his family cruising around in his classic Thunderbird or just shopping at the Gap in the local mall. Twice, Travolta hosted charity fundraisers around movie premieres at the local movie theater in Ocala where thousands of local fans showed up.
Brent Johnson of Ocala once saw him at the gym at 5:30 a.m.
“I thought to myself, I’m not going to harass him, but he came up to me and said, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’” Johnson said. “He asked about my kids and family. I think there’s a sense of pride here in Ocala that someone like that would want to live here.”

Kate Hudson couldn’t be more thrilled for former fling Lance Armstrong, who is expecting a child with girlfriend Anna Hansen.
Asked if she’s happy for her ex, she said at Monday’s NYC Bride Wars premiere, “Of course! Oh, yeah!”
Hudson also said her new “I Do!” comedy — co-starring Anne Hathaway — hasn’t made her want to wed again. (She split from ex-husband Chris Robinson in 2006.)
“I’m a girl. I think all girls, deep down, have that fairy tale thing,” she said, adding that she already had her “dream wedding.
“I was so in love. It was such an amazing day — and it should be,” she said. “Relationships and love should be celebrated.”
As for Bride Wars, she said she didn’t draw on any personal experiences from weddings she’s been to.
“If I used some of the stories I had about weddings, this movie would be X-rated!” she joked. “I can’t even get into them!”
When it comes to tying the knot, Hudson said, “people get so stressed out, freaked out. It can really bring out the best — and the worst — of what’s to come.”

Hugh Hefner has quietly added a new girlfriend to his posse. And she’s a “good girl.”
“I’m a good girl, for the most part,” new Hef gal pal Crystal Harris writes on her MySpace page.
The 22-year-old lesser-known girlfriend has frequently been photographed by the 82-year-old Playboy founder’s side, but never got a proper public introduction after former girlfriends Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson exited the Playboy Mansion.
Instead, fellow girlfriends - and 19-year-old twins - Karissa and Kristina Shannon nabbed headlines with their arrest records and, well, twindom, in the aftermath of the shake-up.
Harris introduced herself on an E! online message board over the holidays, telling fans that “Hef gave me permission to fill people in on the new updates as a voice from the mansion.”
No other girlfriends are in the mix at this time, she says, but “there are a couple that we have interest in. … As for now, it is just us three.”
Despite her low-key status, Harris already has a fan site, but seems to focus most of her attention on her MySpace page.
“I believe in opening your heart and letting your walls down, it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all,” Harris says on her site, which is peppered with Disney characters, cute animals, inspirational quotes and plenty of pink.
And, of course, the ubiquitous lingerie photos.

Harris hasn’t posed for her boyfriend’s magazine, but did appear in a series of topless and semi-nude photos as a Co-ed of the Week on Playboy.com in late October under the name “Crystal Carter.”
Pin-up moments aside, the 34-25-34 San Diego State University psychology student and PETA supporter lists “the rain, the seasons, fast cars, good food, volunteering, great company, caring and honest people, the ocean and animals” among her interests.
Harris was first spotted with Hefner - and the twins - in early October after Madison announced her split from the playboy, but has been cropped out of photos of the crew on more than one occasion.
E! has remained vague on whether they’ll renew hit series “The Girls Next Door,” which made Hefner’s former girlfriends reality TV stars, with the publisher’s new flames.

A wedding date has not been announced.
The two dated for more than a year.
“I’ve gotten such s— about my dating choices,” she told Details in 2007 of her penchant for romancing Major League pitchers (including Carl Pavano, Barry Zito and Brad Penny). “Like, every single article … is about how I’m ‘the chick that dates athletes…”
She added, “I’d love to just find a good plumber or doctor.”

“I’ve only done it (had sex) with a couple of people. People make up stories, but mostly I just kiss.
“I think it’s important to play hard to get. Nobody wants the fake Prada bag; they want the brand new bag that no one can get and is the most expensive. If you give it up to a guy he won’t respect you; he’ll want you much more if he can’t have you.”
What do you think?
