Links Leviathan Greg Norman, aka The Great White Shark, has been hanging at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne with his new pilot fish, wife Kirsten Kutner (above).

And obviously, Norman is so taken with the younger wife, his third, six months after their wedding that their public displays of affection have prevented the love birds from watching all of the action on the court.

Jupiter Island resident Norman and the missus were at two-time champ Kim Clijster’s win over Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez Sunday and Spanish champ Rafael Nadal’s victory Monday over Feliciano Lopez.

Norman’s always had an affinity for tennis. Last year, Norman replaced his second wife, Boca Raton tennis legend Chris Evert, with Kutner.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are riding a five-game win streak and superstars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James enjoyed the attention they got Saturday night when the duo, plus Wade’s two sons, visited with Rafael Nadal (below).

Remember the hoopla in July, when the then-Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James said he’d take “his talents” to South Beach?

Three days later, Miami Heat fans packed like sardines inside the American Airlines Arena downtown Miami welcomed James, new signee Chris Bosh and returning vet Dwyane Wade like they were the three kings.

Eight months later, the Heat and its threesome are lacking sorely in mental toughness, especially on defense.

The Heat were walloped by the San Antonio Spurs last night, on a nightmarish week that also include losses the Orlando Magic Thursday night and the New York Knicks a week ago.

Coming up: the Chicago Bulls tomorrow on ABC and Los Angeles Lakers Thursday, which doesn’t bode well for the Heat.

So far this season, meanwhile, our trio of $100 million-ballers and its supporting cast have won a grand total of one game against teams that matter, at the Lakers last Christmas, while piling on the easy Ws against weak teams.

Wait! Isn’t that what bullies do?

Can the Heat win the NBA title this season?

Miami Heat stars, $1,000-a-glass lemonade at Miami Children’s Hospital gala

The sideshow of Dwyane Wade making it sorta official that he’s dating C-list actress Gabrielle Union didn’t distract from the true nature of Friday’s fund-raiser for the famed Miami Children’s Hospital, a traditional kickoff of SoFla’s social season.

More than 400 well-heeled South Floridians plunked down $1,000-per for the black tie at the Biltmore Hotel. They watched Wade getting inducted into the hospital’s Hall of Fame for his work with children. And they heard Oprah Winfrey protege Charice, a 17-year-old singer, perform in a voice that puts Whitney Houston’s to shame.

Hard to believe, but the gala was scaled down from last year, when the party on the floor of the AmericanAirlines Arena in downtown Miami featured pop superstar Beyonce.

Still, the guest list this time around wasn’t too shabby. It included Miami Heat head honcho Pat Riley and retired Miami Heat tall-head Alonzo Mourning, who flashed a photo of his month-old son Alijah to anyone who’d offer congratulations.

Organizers already knew they wouldn’t be able to equal last year’s loot, a SoFla-record $12 million. But they tried hard, with clever things like the $1,000 lemonade glass (Frangelico, Stoli, lemonade — and a diamond).

EXCLUSIVE: Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union’s coming out

Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade and his mistress, C-list actress Gabrielle Union, have tried desperately to keep their relationship a secret, but this week has been a coming out party of sorts for them.

Either that, or they’re getting careless.

First, the lovebirds were spotted in full on canoodles in a private club level suite at Land Shark Stadium during Monday Night Football, and missed long stretches of an epic game.

Then last night, although she sneaked in through the back door, Wade took Union to the yearly Miami Children’s Hospital gala — one of Miami’s biggest social rendez-vous of the year.

Wade and Union, who has a recurring role in the ABC scifi series FlashForward, giggled like school kids at the table of Miami philanthropist Juan Carlos Mas. They held hands under the table, when Wade didn’t rest his left paw on her lap or sneak an occasional peck.

Wade later in the evening pronounced himself honored to be inducted in the famed hospital’s hall of fame.

Who gets in?

“People who have gone above and beyond for children,” said the hospital’s VP for marketing, Jamie Holt.

Wade joins in the hall the likes of songbird Beyonce, legendary University of Miami QB Jim Kelly and actress Kelly Preston (John Travolta’s missus).

Holt tells me Wade, who obviously forgot his dinner jacket on his way to the black-tie, first came on the fund-raisers’ radars two years ago. As Wade nursed a serious injury, he quietly spent hours watching Heat basketball on television with ill children treated at the facility. Holt also cited Wade’s own charity for at-risk children, Wade’s World, as another reason for his induction.

“I was floored when I was picked,” Wade said. “A lot of people helped me when I was growing up. Helping children is in my DNA.”

Wade’s nasty divorce from wife Shiovaughn, by the way, is still pending in a court in the couple’s native Chicago. Allegations in the case include that last season’s top scorer hasn’t been seeing much of his own three young boys and repeatedly cheated on Shiovaughn. Wade is also entangled in a legal battle with a business partner who claims he rented a pad in Miami Beach for Wade where sex parties took place.

Should married dad Dwyane Wade have taken his paramour to the Miami Children's Hospital wingding?

Salsa star Marc Anthony to hook Miami Dolphins?

Update: Marc Anthony was introduced as the Miami Dolphins newest minority owner in New York this morning. In addition to his plunking down his and JLo’s hard-earned cash, he gets to sing the national anthem at the Oct. 12 Monday night home game.

We knew that Palm Beacher Stephen Ross, the new owner of the Miami Dolphins, has some sort of obsession with celebrities, but it’s getting ridiculous.

Word is that Ross, one of the country’s largest land developers, is trying to sell a piece of the football franchise to Miami Beach salsero Marc Anthony.

Whether Ross succeeded is unclear. Sources are playing it close to the vest. But Ross is wheeling out Anthony for a press conference in New York City Tuesday. There’s supposed to be a “major” announcement.

How major? Major enough to have NFL commish Roger Goodell sitting in.
