Kourtney and Khloe

They picked a fine time!

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who are in South Florida to film season 2 of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, will tape an episode in Wellington Sunday afternoon.

At the International Polo Club Palm Beach.

Yes, John Goodman’s place.

For some reason, the company producing the Kardashians show for E! is trying to keep the whole polo thing hush-hush. And Shamin Abas, the club’s spokeswoman, declined comment.

But the cast and crew are expected at the club’s brunch and afternoon match.

Philanthropist Patrick Park dug deep in his legendary wine collection, and some of his world-class bottles went up for auction Thursday at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

The bottles of rare Chateau Lafite, Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Margaux brought in thousands, although organizers were still counting the loot late Thursday. And it was all for charity: National Enquirer heiress Lois Pope’s Disabled Veterans LIFE Memorial Foundation. Pope is raising money to build a memorial to wounded warriors in Washington, D.C.

The fringe benefits of being one of South Florida’s best-known breast augmentation specialists apparently include having celebs show up at your bash! Dr. Lenny Roudner, who considers himself a breast artiste, threw one of his famous blowouts at his $5 million-Hibiscus Island pad near Miami the other day. Among the guests: actor Cuba Gooding Jr. (American Gangster, Jerry Maguire), Latin singer Julio Iglesias Jr. and the ShamWow guy, Vince Shlomi. Click here or on the photo for more.

Rachel Uchitel, a.k.a. golfer Tiger Woods‘ No. 1 mistress, must have really liked Palm Beach.

Uchitel, the first woman outed in the scandal of Woods’ busy busy extra-marital sex life shortly after Thanksgiving, finally packed her bags and left town after three months of sucking in The Island’s calm lifestyle.

“We had her going away party on Saturday and she’s gone,” said one of her good friends here, club owner Gus Renny. “She’s headed for Las Vegas. She said she landed a great job as correspondent on (tabloid tv’s) Extra.”

In her time among us, the former club hostess who allegedly was flown by Woods’ corporation to Australia to be with him: stopped traffic outside Publix; was photographed in a skimpy bikini on the beach (above) ; chain-smoked while chatting up the boys at 251 PB Lounge; allegedly dated Hooters heir Chris Harding; celebrated her 35th birthday, and refused to go on satellite radio king Howard Stern’s pageant of Woods girlfriends.

“She really liked it here,” Renny said. “But I don’t think she’ll be coming back for a long time.”

The Kodak Theatre it wasn’t, and celebrities must’ve been all busy.

But the Palm Beach International Film Festival’s Oscar party at Palm Beach’s Omphoy Resort — the only officially licensed by the Oscars-organizing Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — did serve its purposes: raise money for next month’s festival, and gather about 230 local movie lovers to watch the award show.

And then some of the guests even dressed up in their favorite characters. Dinner chair and Manalapan party planner Renny Reynolds picked a costume reminiscent of the old TV show The Swamp Fox while the emcee, Florida Stage boss Lou Tyrrell, looked like a dead ringer of painter Salvador Dali.

This year’s film festival, by the way, is slated for April 22-26 with new personnel, new venues (a return of showings in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens) and a new attitude.

What attitude?

New festival managing director P.J. Layng tells me the festival’s gala, which gathered participants, fans and celebrities at the Boca Resort, won’t be happening this year.

“Too formal,” Layng said, “Galas were too serious. We’ll just have a really good party.”

Despite the too-low-for-the-season temperature, hundreds strolled up and down West Palm Beach’s design district Saturday night for the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s yearly Evening on Antique Row. Dixie Highway was shut down to cars between Southern and Greenwood, and visitors got to check out more than 40 acclaimed antique stores. The party then shifted to the pool deck of CityPlace’s South Tower. Check out Michael Price’s gallery of the wingding by clicking here or on the photo:

Tensions at Alzheimer’s Community Care.

The popular chairs of the non-profit’s yearly Palm Beach gala, Frank and Geri Morrow, resigned last week after they were told that they’d have to have all features of future events approved by the group’s full-time staff.

Usually, the chair of Palm Beach galas exert tremendous control. They pick the entertainment, decorations, menus and the seating arrangements with little, or no, staff involvement. And attendance depends on a chair’s popularity.

“We resigned when they told us we’d have to get everything approved,” Frank Morrow said. “They are not really giving us a reasons why the policy changed. This year’s event (click here) was very successful.

“But one thing that (CEO) Mary Barnes indicated is that she thinks the gala had become ‘too societal,’ too much of a party and not enough of a fund-raiser. Well, if they want full control, now they’ve got it.”

The boisterous Palm Beach artist Edwina Sandys — a painter, sculptor, illustrator, print-maker, and the granddaughter of WWII British Prime Minister Winston Churchill — is showing some of her work at the Whitney building downtown West Palm Beach. The show’s curated by local collage artist Bruce Helander. The show opened over the weekend, and is scheduled to be open to the public until March 20.

John Goodman, the embattled polo boss under criminal investigation for his role in a fatal crash in rural Wellington last month, has been shunning friends and business associates since he crashed his Bentley into 23-year-old Scott Wilson’s vehicle Feb. 12, killing him.

But that doesn’t mean that the multi-millionaire Texas trust-funder Goodman has been roughing it.

Far from it.

Reynolds

Silver screen legend Burt Reynolds was released from the Jupiter Medical Center after undergoing heart bypass surgery last week.

The star of Deliverance and The Longest Yard is under 24-hour care at home in Hobe Sound, according to Entertainment Tonight.

At 74, Reynolds had been planning to have the quintuple bypass for a month. The surgery usually is prescribed when clogged arteries prevent proper blood flow through the heart.

Reynolds’s rep, Erik Kritzer, released this statement: “Mr. Reynolds has been released from a hospital in Florida in which he had a planned bypass operation. He wants to thank everyone for their good wishes and states that he has a great motor with brand new pipes and he is feeling great. Doctors plan on a speedy recovery.”

Reynolds hasn’t been in the greatest health since last year, when he returned to this area to live full-time. Reynolds injured himself in a fall at home in September and was treated at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. Two weeks later, he admitted to battling an addiction to pain killers and checked into rehab at West Palm Beach’s Hanley Center.

Reynolds has been a visible presence in the local arts landscape as of late. He’s been teaching theater classes at his Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum in Jupiter.

“I saw him a month ago and he looked in great shape,” said Palm Beach Film Commissioner Chuck Elderd. “I don’t think many people here knew he was having heart problems.”
