SoFla won’t be getting The Twilight Saga’s Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart in the weeks before the new vampire flick comes out. But the two cast members who hawked the film at the Aventura Mall Wednesday, Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon, got plenty attention. Both play members of a pack of werewolves. The film opens Nov. 20.

Cute baby indeed, way too cute for her dad.

Guess who’s the mom?

. . . The business mag Forbes begs to differ with the TV talking heads who annointed Palm Beach’s own Rush Limbaugh the Republican Party’s lord-and-savior. In its The Great Right Hope story now hitting the stands, the magazine cites another. And this one’s based across Lake Worth. It’s Newsmax, the West Palm Beach political magazine and website. Newsmax’s secret? It views the world “through the eyes of Ronald Reagan,” company founder Chris Ruddy tells Forbes.

. . . Interesting Florida Panthers promo April 11. The NHL team is hosting an on-ice grudge match between lawmen from Palm Beach County and those from Broward before its own league slugfest against the Washington Capitals. One $28 ticket gets you into both games, with eight bucks being donated to families of fallen officers. . .

Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel has a tall order to fill this weekend: Fit into his good friend Jay Leno’s shoes as the celebrity host of the Concours d’Elegance in Boca Raton.

Even worse: Mandel says he owns two Smart cars, two tiny things with no back seats that have put the “g” in both “green” and “grotesque.”

Mary McCarty leaves Middlebrooks' courtroom with husband Kevin a month ago

. . . Good luck to disgraced former Palm Beach County Commish Mary McCarty when she’s sentenced on a corruption-related charge, possibly next month, by U.S. District Judge Don Middlebrooks. Wasn’t so long ago, circa 2005, that McCarty called “a sick, cruel joke” Middlebrooks’ decision to allow the building of the Scripps Florida research campus on Mecca Farms while prohibiting access to roads, water and power. Little did she know that her future, too, would once be in the guy’s hands . . .

. . . The CityPlace nightclub formerly known as Hotel Nightclub/Rock Lobby then known as Hotel will now be known as Lobby. With the name switch came with a change in looks, now Miami Beach-style. The West Palm Beach club’s frontman, Josh Sagman, tells me the owners were recently confronted by reps of The Cordish Companies conglomerate because it owns a Hotel nightclub in Louisville, Ky. So happens the Cordish’s nightclub name is trademarked. “They’re a giant company,” said Sagman. “We didn’t want to fight them. We were going to reopen with a different look anyway.” . . .
