Tyra Banks doesn't appear to be much of a cook. The model-turned-talk-show host stopped by the Peas n' Pickles convenience store in Brooklyn Heights with financier boyfriend John Utendahl and picked up more than 20 frozen dinners and a dozen energy bars. "She bought $130 worth of food, which they had to ring up item by item," laughs aspy. "Her boyfriend paid for everything with his AmEx Black Card."

Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, best known for her diva antics on NBC's hit The Apprentice, is entering an Ohio seminary.

According to the Associated Press, she is slated to begin her ministry studies at United Theological Seminary in Dayton on Monday. She will spend about two years pursuing a doctor of ministry degree, says Ivan Hicks, the school's associate dean for African-American studies.

"She has expressed a calling in her life and it is our opportunity to provide leadership and guidance as she makes a transformation," Hicks says. "We're excited about her coming to school at UTS." He adds that she "has a heart for ministry" after doing work on behalf of the homeless and the poor in Haiti.

Omarosa's feisty reputation will actually help her as a minister, says Hicks. "Some of the good things and bad things we've done in our lives help us to actually relate and to be more widely accepted as a minister," he says.

I usually HATE Dane Cook, but this is pretty funny. And, she couldn't look less amused.

Kathy Griffin brought Levi Johnston, the 19-year-old father of Bristol Palin's baby, as her date to Sunday's Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, Calif.

Griffin, 48, joked that the two have been an item for some time. "Long-distance relationships are not easy, especially when he's in his igloo and I'm in my Hollywood tower," she said.

Johnston - who was in town for a Vanity Fair photo shoot - was less vocal about being Griffin's date. "I just, you know, look at her, shut up and do what I'm told," he said when asked about being her date.

Hulk Hogan and his wife have finally reached a settlement in their divorce case.

At a brief hearing Tuesday morning in Clearwater, Fla., Hogan, 55, and his wife Linda announced that they've agreed to the terms of the split. "We've reached a marital settlement agreement," Ray Rafool, Linda's attorney, told the judge.

In a statement to Usmagazine.com, Hogan's rep says, "Hulk is looking forward to moving on with his life and is very hopeful that he and Linda can maintain a friendship and work together as parents to their two children."

The terms were not made public. (In 2008 court filings, the couple's net worth was listed at between $26 million and $32 million.)

Before the proceedings began, Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and Linda were spotted smiling, according to a local ABC affiliate. At one point, she even kissed his cheek. "The war is over," Linda said after the hearing. Hogan echoed her sentiments, telling the Tampa Tribune: "When you're married to someone for 23 years ... you hope for the best .... We just got torn apart."

Adrian Grenier was ordering plenty of booze in his efforts to pick up chicks in Florida. The "Entourage" star was at Miami Beach nightclub Rokbar late last week of fering up shots of Patrón and beer chasers to passing gaggles of girls in an attempt to get them to join his table. "He ended up leaving at 3 a.m. with a bunch," says a spy.

Earlier in the evening, Grenier and co-stars Rex Lee and Perrey Reeves helped kick off the opening of the Entourage bungalow at the W South Beach by spraying bottles of champagne at partygoers.

“No, no, no! I’m probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it."

Music's biggest stars are set to perform at two New York City concerts this fall to celebrate the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame's 25th anniversary.

Bruce Springsteen, U2, Metallica and Stevie Wonder are among the industry greats on the initial roster for the Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 shows, the Hall of Fame announced in a statement Wednesday. The shows, held at New York City's Madison Square Garden, will feature different set lists and performers each night.

"Twenty-five years ago a group led by legendary Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun created this foundation to recognize and celebrate the music and careers of artists whose music helped shape and define our generation," Jann Wenner, the Founder and Chairman of Rolling Stone and Chairman of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Foundation said in the statement. "These once-in-a-lifetime concerts are designed to celebrate the artists and their music."

The artists will take to the stage to play their own music and the music that inspires them, and all proceeds from ticket sales will go to create a permanent endowment for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum.

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened in 1983, with Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Ray Charles among its first inductees. Performers are eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record.

Brooklyn might soon get the "Sex and the City" treatment. Author Amy Sohn got an early publicity bump for her upcoming novel, "Prospect Park West," after Sarah Jessica Parker's Pretty Matches production company optioned the story in conjunction with HBO for a half-hour series.

Says an insider at Simon & Schuster, "It's got sex, parenthood, and celebrity. Brooklyn is about to blow up nationally." A rep for Parker said she was unsure whether the star would be starring or simply producing. On Thursday, The Post reported that Parker and husband Matthew Broderick might have secretly bought a townhouse in Prospect Park formerly owned by Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany.

"How are we so famous when...there's been nothing about the biggest bill since the Patriot Act being passed, and nobody reading it. It's mind-boggling trying to say there's global warming right now."

--Spencer Pratt, on the Cap-and-Trade bill, which regulates carbon output, among other environmental issues

Ok, so I'm shocked he even knew what Cap and Trade was!

Howard Stern likes to talk trash, but not see it. The King of All Media and his wife, Beth Ostrosky, "have gotten into the habit of taking early-morning weekend walks along Hamptons beaches, picking up garbage left behind by their less conscientious neighbors," a source said. The couple's environmental crusade is also being filmed for a segment on Beth's upcoming show on Plum TV.
