Sweet Yeezus! Kanye West's Daft Punk-produced single 'On Sight' name checks LIV's David Grutman

You'd think the leakage of Kanye West's Yeezus today was the second coming of, well, never mind. But for LIV's David Grutman, it kind of is. You see, West's single "On Sight," produced by Daft Punk, name checks the Grand Poohbah of clubland at the 1:40 mark, saying something to the effect of "Took her to the bleau, she tried to sip the fountain, that's when David Grutman kicked her out. But I got her back in and put my di*k in her mouth." With such deeply profound lyrics, he's not the Montell Michael Jordan of music, he's the Shakespeare of music. Lord, what fools these mortals be!

We asked Grutman his thoughts on joining the ranks of Kathie Lee Gifford, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, John Travolta and Jake Gyllenhaal, all whose names Yeezus has previously dropped in his songs, to which he replied, "It's pretty fu**ing sick. It doesn't hurt that it's the first single off the much anticipated album and that those Daft Punk guys produced the song. Pretty special." Not nearly as special as the not so mystery woman to whom West refers. When we asked Grutman if West was referring to his baby mama, who, along with her sisterly klique and their assorted appendages, has spent many a night at LIV, he said, "I have no idea." Oh, he does. He's just preoccupied. After all, Yeezus just took his name in vain.

OC In SOFI?

Fans of the now defunct show The OC may want to stop by retro chic funkster SoFi boutique Univ, as a reliable fashion mole tells us former OC star Ben McKenzie is en route there along with pal David Grutman. If not, there's always Cameo tonight, where McKenzie fulfills his hosting duties.

Janet Jackson Team in Place in Miami

Janet's raring for a major comeback and she's got some literal heavyweights in place to ensure the success of her new album. Currently shacked up at the Chesterfield Hotel and Suites is none other than producer Jazze Pha, who is producing Janet's new album. Thankfully Pha checked in after Kevin Federline checked out.

Whoa! Joey Lawrence Has a Yorkie

A posse of Patton Group PR girls were starstruck outside of Rik Rak salon on Brickell Avenue on Wednesday afternoon after running into Dancing With the Stars alums Joey McIntyre and Joey Lawrence with---whoa!---a baby and a yorkie. The girls invited the boys to dinner at their client Karu & Y but they declined because they said they were leaving town. That, or the bald headed Blossom star just didn't want to part with his precious pup.

Greasy Beer

Just spotted at the CVS on Alton Road: Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis, buying a 40 ounce Bud Light. The regular size they have at The Shore Club isn't enough for his overactive sweat glands, but hey, at least it was light beer, right?

Get Ready to Appall Simon and Make Paula Pant

American Idol auditions are coming to Miami. On August 22, the American Airlines Arena will be overflowing with aspiring beat boxers, rockers, crooners and clowns looking for their 15 minutes of fame or infamy.

Fed Up With K-Fed

Paparazzi and paying folk were livid when Jamie Foxx and Kevin Federline were no shows at the DJ Irie charity golf tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club Saturday afternoon. According to our spy, sponsors and product placement types were "very, very upset" by their absences. As for Foxx's whereabouts, we're not sure, but Federline--well, he was supposedly entangled (spy used a different word--one that's also used to describe what people do on drums) with not one, not two, but five women at once the entire night before and all day during the golf tourney. At dinner the night before, Federline and his female friends showed up late and were the first to leave. "K-Fed not being there really wasn't that cool," says our spy. Hmm, we kind of beg to differ. The absence of Foxx and many key Miami Heat players like Shaq and Udonis Haslem, however, was much less cooler. 

Update: One woman K-Fed didn't manage to score was model and host of ABC show The Next Best Thing Michele Merkin, who celebrated her birthday at Vice on Sunday night. "K-Fed kept sending drinks over to her and was staring at her all night to no avail," says our spy. Apparently K-Fed is far from the next best thing.

Janet Jackson's Low Key South Beach Escapade

Janet Jackson had a tete a tete with LA Reid last night at Table 8 in what was described to us as a very mellow, low key affair. According to a spy, Miss Jackson was stylin' in an all white ensemble. The duo, who sat in a booth, dined on grouper and snapper and shared a $700 bottle of white wine.

Getting Cushy at Devito South Beach

I decided to check out Devito last night in search of possible celebrities and all I got was a Thomas Kramer sighting, which was actually more amusing than spotting random celebs from a USA Network series. Seems that Kramer has anointed Devito his living room away from home because when he and his party left the restaurant, they were all toting their own pillows that they used to pad their posh derrieres. Who brings their own cushions to a restaurant? Kramer's a piece of work!

Colin Farrell's In Town

TMZ reports that Colin Farrell and girlfriend, 21-year-old Muireann McDonnell are in town, but if you don't catch a glimpse of those two, consider The Next Best Thing, ABC's celebrity impersonator show hosted by hottie Michele Merkin, who will be celebrating her birthday on Saturday night at Cameo. Come to think of it, she's so stunning, even Colin Farrell may dump his pretty doll du jour and go to the party solo.

Anna Kournikova Does Butt Exercises at Gold's Gym

Anna Kournikova is on everyone's list of 'how'd they get so skinny' lately, but now we know. The former (?) tennis tart eats at Quarterdeck on Alton Road, but she also does booty exercises at Gold's Gym, where she was doing just that this morning. According to our gym bunny, Kournikova was doing major ass crunching, sporting oversized clothing--a grey t-shirt and sweatpants. Sounds like those girls we went to college with who always wore massive sweats in 100 degree weather and counted every calorie down to their stick of Trident. In case you're looking for Anna's junk around town, don't. Whatever you see in the picture here is long gone. Blame it on Gold's.
