Chelsea gives fodder to tabs

London Two British tabloids carried photographs Thursday showing Chelsea Clinton being helped from a London nightclub by her boyfriend, Ian Klaus, another American studying at Oxford University.

The Sun and the Daily Mail both published several photos suggesting the 22-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had too much to drink at the Embassy Club.

“Bill’s girl is going … going … gone!” The Sun said in a headline on page 25.

A spokesman for Sen. Clinton had no comment; former President Clinton’s office did not return calls seeking comment.

Former Supreme in rehab

Los Angeles Diana Ross has entered a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center before she begins an international summer tour, her spokesman said Thursday.

The singer-actress voluntarily entered the Promises center in Malibu about 10 days ago “to clear up some personal issues,” Paul Bloch said.

Bloch said he did not know when Ross would be released or the specific problem for which she was receiving treatment.

Ross, 58, was scheduled to begin her tour on June 26 in Germany. Bloch said the performances would not be postponed.

Rodman settles lawsuit

Carson City, Nev. Dennis Rodman reached an undisclosed settlement with a Las Vegas casino worker after appealing an $80,000 jury award to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Randall Jones, lawyer for the former NBA star, said he could not comment on the terms of the deal Wednesday. Michael Koning, the lawyer who represented James Brasich, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Brasich claimed he was humiliated during an October 1997 dice game at the Mirage in Las Vegas when Rodman rubbed dice on his head, chest, stomach and genitals.

Rodman’s attorneys didn’t deny that he rubbed Brasich with the dice. But they said it was a gesture for luck, and the dealer consented to the touching by failing to tell Rodman to stop.

Chip off the old Rock

New York Chris Rock and his wife, Malaak, are expecting a baby girl in July. This is a huge relief to the comedian.

“I think I’d be too hard on a boy every day, trying to make him a man, getting him ready for white people,” Rock, 36, says in the June issue of GQ magazine. “Girls don’t punch each other in the face. Girls are pretty nice to each other, even, like, on a grass-roots level.”

If he can talk his wife into it, the child their first will be named Holiday Rock. He acknowledges that this sounds like the title of a Flintstones movie, “but everything does with Rock after it. Holiday Rock! It seems like a smiley name to me. How can you get mad at Holiday?”

Rock co-stars with Anthony Hopkins in “Bad Company,” an action-comedy that opens June 7.
