Today show Hoda’s new beau a Boca Raton lawyer?

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.

With the Los Angeles Lakers in SoFla, where they were beaten by the Miami Heat last night, you knew that basketball wife and reality TV star Khloe Kardashian would be popping up all over the place.

Here is the 26-year-old (above) at actor Danny DeVito’s Miami Beach eatery, DeVito South Beach, with husband and Lakers forward Lamar Odom, and Palm Beach County restaurateurs David and Lynn Manero, who co-own the joint.

I’m told Khloe, aka Kim’s lil’ sis, and her honey dined on carpaccio, sole and meat balls while filming for their new E! reality show, Khloe & Lamar.

In Boca Raton, meanwhile, the law firm of Brotman, Nusbaum and Fox celebrated the grand opening of their new building on Royal Palm Road with a giant shindig. Former Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packers great Desmond Howard was a guest.

Partner Marc Brotman (below, with Howard) couldn’t resist taking the Heisman pose that Howard reveled in taking after scoring touchdowns for the University of Michigan. Howard, however, wouldn’t strike the pose, saying people would make fun of him.

No, they wouldn’t!

Tiger Woods looks like a homeless man in first pictures from sex rehab

The Boca Raton-based National Enquirer over the weekend obtained pictures of golfer Tiger Woods in sex rehab, the first images of him since his Thanksgiving accident and subsequent revelations about his extramarital activities.

The soon-to-be-Jupiter Island resident appears at a distance, walking out of a building on the campus of the Pine Grove Behavioral and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Miss. Looking more like a homeless guy, complete with a scruffy face, hooded-sweatshirt around his head and shorts despite the cold weather, Woods is seen carrying a large Styrofoam cup while looking toward the lucky shutterbug.

Before he embarked for Australia, where he won his first match of the Aussie Open today in Sydney, tennis ace Andy Roddick filmed several commercials on the top-flight tennis courts at the Boca Raton tennis community of The Oaks. Roddick, 27, who learned his tennis in Boca, shot several sequences for clothier Lacoste and business consultant SAP. Andy’s people tried to keep it hush-hush, but Page2Live was there.

EXTRA! EXTRA! NATIONAL ENQUIRER SAVES PLAYBOY SUPER BOWL PARTY!

Cancelled last year in Tampa, the much-anticipated, model-heavy, top-shelf liquor soaked Playboy Super Bowl fiesta returns on the February night before the football extravaganza at Dolphin Stadium.

Sources are telling Page2Live that, in the fall, officials at the Super Bowl Host Committee here were expecting Playboy to pull out again, due to the economy and sagging revenues in the magazine industry.

But the Boca Raton-based American Media wouldn’t have it!

AMI, publisher of the Tiger Woods-busting National Enquirer, Star magazine and Globe, recently inked a deal to print, market and distribute Hugh Hefner’s titillating glossy.

And just like that, the Super Bowl party was back on, with AMI finding sponsors.

Mark Feb. 6, Super Bowl Saturday, on your calendars, boys. The venue is The Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach. The festivities kick off at 9 p.m. poolside, and 1,000 tickets will soon be available. They’re going on sale at $1,000 per.

Traditionally, the Playboy party is the place to be on Super Bowl week and boasts a high number of celebrities, ball players and body-painted playmates.
