Heigl, made up!

Actress Katherine Heigl wasn’t looking anything like what fans have come to expect (right) from the former Grey’s Anatomye beauty recently in Miami Beach.

No matter! The makeup-free, sun-baked film and TV star,  above with hubby and singer/songwriter Josh Kelley, still seemed to have a good time.

The couple vacationed in SoFla after Heigl wrapped up her part in New Year’s Eve, a big-screen fare starring Robert DeNiro.

Not too far from Camp Heigl, meanwhile, The Real Housewives of New York City’s Kelly Killoren Bensimon (below) wouldn’t be caught dead without eyeliner and base, even on the sand. She graciously posed for the Page2Live shutterbug while packing it in for the night.

Even with a brand-new business administration degree from the University of Miami, Robert Riva hasn’t really been in high demand on the job market.

So he did the next best thing to getting a job: He used his boyish good looks, soulful eyes and fancy Palm Beach breeding and set out to be a reality TV star!

Riva, 22, is expected to become one of the main staples on a trashy-but-popular reality fare, Love Games. How trashy? Well, the house where the action takes place boasts a “boom-boom room.” Season 2, taped in the winter, premieres on the women’s cable network Oxygen on April 18.

The program’s premise: Natalie Nunn, Lea Beaulieu and Amber Buhl, stars from Oxygen’s scandalous The Bad Girls Club, are vying for the affection of 15 boys. By the eighth and final episode, only one of the girls and a boy are left and viewers try to figure out if the relationship will last.

As Riva puts it: “It’s the poor man’s (The) Bachelor.”

Riva, a graduate of Palm Beach Day School and Benjamin School, is the son of well-known marketing exec Maribel Alvarez. He knows instinctively the kind of exposure he could receive from the average million-plus of viewers per episode, especially when involved in on-air challenges that include doing jumping jacks in his Speedos.

Blumenkopf

Today personality Hoda Kotb has been trying her darnedest to keep her new man’s identity under the radar, but even her best isn’t good enough for Page2Live.

Meet Boca Raton lawyer and single dad of two Jay Blumenkopf, the corporate law guru who, sources say, has been sharing the NBC morning star’s life for the past six months.

With Kathie Lee Gifford on Today’s fourth hour Monday through Friday, the oft-imitated (on Saturday Night Live) but-never-duplicated Hoda has been squawking about how sweet and gentlemanly her “Jay” is.

Never, however, has she mentioned his last name.

But insiders at the New York/Boca lawfirm of Yoss LLP tell me Blumenkopf has been telling his colleagues he’s da man!

“You could say he’s pretty proud of himself,” one informant told me. “So he makes no secret of it.”

When I called Hoda, 46, in her New York City condo to confirm, what had started as a pleasant conversation was cut short when I brought up Blumenkopf’s name. Hoda’s publicist declined comment. And neither Blumenkopf nor his daughters have returned calls or emails.

As much Woofstock as fund-raiser for the Safe Harbor Animal Rescue, Saturday afternoon’s 24th Annual Celebrity Dog Wash brought more than 5,000 to Carlin Park in Jupiter.

For 10 bucks a pop, dog owners could have their pooches cleaned — with soap, and all — by area media celebrities like WZZR radio’s Love Doctors and Josh Cohen and the Hometeam, and KOOL’s Mo & Sally; WPBF-Channel 25’s Terri Parker, WPTV-Channel 5’s John Favole and WPEC’s Juan Carlos Fanjul and Suzanne Boyd, among others.

And those more musically included got to sit on the lawn for the high-energy 1980s music of Gretchen Bonaduce (Danny’s ex) and the 1970s sound of Grand Funk Railroad.

Golfer Tiger Woods is back on the dating scene, and somehow landed a pretty, 22-year-old graduate student at West Palm Beach’s Northwood University, according to several unconfirmed news reports.

According to records the woman, identified as Alyse Lahti, lived down the street from Woods in Windermere, near Orlando, with her stepdad.

The stepdad, Alastair Johnston, is a high-ranking employee of IMG, the sports agency that represents Woods.

A woman at Johnston’s other home in Cleveland, where IMG is based, and where Lahti grew up, told Page2Live that Lahti no longer lives there and couldn’t be contacted. Lahti didn’t respond to emails asking for comment.

As a Northwood student, Lahti once again lives close to Woods, whose new home is in Jupiter Island.

With blue eyes and blonde hair Lahti, 13 years younger than Woods, bears a faint resemblance to Elin Nordegren, Woods’ ex-wife and the recent buyer of a $12.2 million-house at Seminole Landing in North Palm Beach.
