Nick and Sofia

Sofia Vergara, one of the stars of the Emmy-winning ABC sitcom Modern Family, tweeted this photo of her boytoy, former Florida Senate and Delray Beach City Commission candidate Nick Loeb, after he underwent surgery in an L.A. hospital.

Loeb, 35, drove off a cliff in the swanky Los Angeles area of Bel-Air last week and sustained serious injuries. He was in the ICU at UCLA Medical Center for several days but his health has been improving.

“How can someone look so handsome after six hours in an operating room. Luv UUU!,” Vergara wrote in her tweet.

Ross, and George

Surprise, surprise!

Radio personality Jennifer Ross, who was canned a year ago from WRMF-97.9 FM’s morning show and replaced by younger, cheaper talent, is returning to the station — but not to the airwaves.

Ross, 52, is scheduled to take over as director of community affairs next week, said station boss Elizabeth Hamma. The job’s description is unclear. Hamma declined to comment further.

In an email to Page2Live, Ross wrote:  “I’m thrilled about the opportunity.  As you know, I’ve always been committed to the community, as has WRMF, so this is the perfect opportunity for me.  I’m looking forward to continuing my relationship with the WRMF team and great things for the future.”

A station insider who asked not to be identified said the move makes sense for both WRMF and the woman who ruled local morning radio for 25 years.

Life goes on for newly single Elin Nordegren on the week she divorced golfer Tiger Woods and granted a cozy, softball interview to People magazine about her crowded marriage.

Still surrounded by bodyguards, the 30-year-old was just photographed exiting a pediatrician’s office near Orlando with her and Woods’ two children. (above)

Elin, meanwhile, is not the only one squawking about her world falling apart. Miss Congeniality star Sandra Bullock is scheduled to sit down with Today’s Matt Lauer Tuesday to discuss her pending divorce from philandering motorcycle builder Jesse James.

Former State Senate candidate Nick Loeb was in critical condition today at a Los Angeles area hospital after a single-car crash in the swanky Bel-Air neighborhood.

Loeb, 35, who also ran unsuccessfully for Delray Beach City Commission, is mostly known in Tinseltown for the company he keeps. He has been romantically linked to sitcom star Sofia Vergara, who lives near the crash site.

The West Coast website TMZ reports this morning that paramedics found the trust-funder Loeb suffered a severely broken leg and a “deep gash” to his chest in the crash, which occurred on a narrow, winding road running through hilly Bel-Air.

While Vergara stars in the ABC hit series Modern Family, Loeb has been dabbling in movie production. He is the son of Ronald Reagan White House ambassador John Loeb and a cousin of former Seagram boss Edgar Bronfman.

Loeb was recently divorced from his Swedish wife Anna, who was arrested for DUI in Delray shortly after Loeb announced his candidacy for Sen. Jeff Atwater’s seat last year. Loeb quit the race a month later and took up with Vergara.

I set out to hate Star Island, bestselling Vero Beach author Carl Hiaasen’s latest for-adults novel.

I mean, what would a guy who’s been mailing it in to the Miami Herald for years know about Miami Beach’s paparazzi and celebrity culture?

Well, he knows plenty, and he’s not a fan. And that’s a potent mix!

The book, titled after the tony island off Miami Beach that the likes of singers Gloria Estefan and Sean “Diddy” Combs call home, might be Hiaasen’s best work.

It’s that time of year.

The Dolphins are in pre-season mode, and their cheerleaders are basking in the limelight.

The dancers unveiled their 2011 swimsuit calendar last night at LIV nightclub in Miami Beach during a party that included the squad starring in a swimsuit fashion show. (Click here for all the photos)

If you like Mike Jachles’ photos of the event, then there’s a chance you’ll like the calendar — with pictures of the hotties shot at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The calendars are selling for $14.99, at www.miamidolphins.com.

Clinton

The first ex-president ever to visit the West Palm Beach-based Republican web juggernaut Newsmax is a Democrat.

Two-term Commander-in-Chief Bill Clinton materialized in the Village Boulevard headquarters of the company this afternoon, surprising most of the 100-plus employees.

Clinton visited while on a short break from stumping for U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek.

Ruddy

Even more surprising in Clinton’s visit to a business of the “wrong” political color is the fact that its founder and CEO, Chris Ruddy, was a thorn in the side of the Clinton White House through the 1990s when he worked as an investigative reporter.

No matter, Ruddy and Clinton became fast friends four years ago after former New York Mayor Ed Koch brokered a peace lunch at Clinton’s office in Harlem. And now, Ruddy is a donor to Clinton’s charity, the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Ruddy wouldn’t tell Page2Live what he and the ex-prez talked about for 15 minutes, but one thing is sure: Even a liberal like Bubba sure seems to appreciate Newsmax’s clout among conservatives!

Glenn Beck, fusing entertainment and enlightenment in West Palm Beach (Click on the photo for more)

Conservative radio and television talker/preacher/doomsayer Glenn Beck quietly visited West Palm Beach Friday night for a hush-hush fundraiser at the new Phillips Point Club. The controversial Beck, whose on-air antics include lots of crying, and his wife Tania had dinner with about 35 of his followers, including Palm Beach socialite Renee Morrison and Palm Beach Gardens GOP supporter Dr. Eric Fishman. Also there: local Republican candidate for the U.S. Congress Allen West, who’s hoping to score some air time on Beck’s show. (See below) The money that Beck’s shindig raised is to benefit the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a charity that provides education to the children of fallen special ops soldiers.

Brendan Fraser, star of such action fares as The Mummy and Journey To The Center of the Earth, dragged his three kids to Universal Orlando the other day to check out the new Harry Potter park. During his visit, Fraser gulped some butterbeer, a frothy Potter world drink reminiscent of shortbread and butterscotch.
