– Not everyone seemed happy to see Gov. Charlie Crist mine The Hamptons for U.S. Senate running money. With Republican Crist now married to New York socialite Carol Rome, the doors and wallets of New Yorkers have opened wide for the people’s governor. But Rome’s ex-husband, NYC aviation exec Todd Rome, explained it like this: “They figure they might as well come to The Hamptons and get the money from people who don’t give a s…,” Todd quipped to a New York Post spy. Lucille Roberts health club mogul Bob Roberts hosted a $5,000-a-plate fundraiser for Crist Saturday at the East Hampton home of The Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin.

Ray's booking mug for today's arrest– Ray Huizenga, son of Miami Dolphins minority owner and Stuart billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga, was popped early this morning in Fort Lauderdale. Cops responded to a 911 call from a woman reporting someone trying to get into her canal-front home. But when they got to the scene, the police found Huizenga leaving in a Jupiter Marine cruiser. He was charged with boating under the influence! To make matters worse, according to the Sun-Sentinel, the 47-year-old Ray’s still on probation for a 2003 DUI accident in which a 71-year-old man suffered a concussion. That conviction was his third for DUI in a decade. Huizenga served three months in prison at that time, then supposedly swore off booze.

– Rocker Lenny Kravitz is flying away from South Florida after making a mint, a 200 percent profit, on a real estate sale. The singer of American Woman listed in March the modern Miami Beach rock pile he called home for more than a decade. Sold on July 10, according to MLS listings, for $2.45 million. Kravitz bought the 5,700-square-footer in Point Biscayne in 1997. He paid $725,000. No word yet on who’s the buyer. Click here to see the great views on the bay from Lenny’s old swimming pool.

    Lenny, you’re awesome… the reference to a Guess Who hit song I grew up with as your signature song kinda sucks, but I’m really glad you made a profit off your home… dude, I wish it’d have happened that way for me, but… NOT! Anyways, please come back to FL as we love your talented arse here. Hope politics didn’t drive/scare you away like Stallone. Us regular floridians don’t really have a say so in that… :o) YOU ROCK dude… the Eagle
