Danielle Staub, the "Real Housewife of New Jersey," whose involvement with prostitution and drug dealing in the 1980s became a point of major drama on the Bravo series, chatted it up with Phillies slugger Ryan Howard at the new Dusk club at Caesars in Atlantic City Saturday night. Rittenhouse Square raised DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, is a partner in the new club and kept the crowd going while spinning the July 4 opening-night party where Shane Victorino accompanied Howard to A.C. after the Phillies pounded the Mets for the second time in a three game weekend sweep.

Real-estate sources keep telling us that neither Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora nor Phillies hurler Cole Hamels, two of the famous names used to market the Residences at Two Liberty Place, actually purchased their condos. They say instead the pair received free leases in exchange for promoting the luxury high-rise.

According to the city's Board of Revision of Taxes, there are no records of Two Liberty condos being sold to Sambora, who has not yet moved into the building, or to Hamels and wife Heidi, who moved into the building in April.

"Mr. Sambora is under a binding agreement of sale and will close as soon as construction is complete on the floor in which his home is located," a building spokeswoman said yesterday.

The building's developer, the Falcone Group, out of Florida, announced in March 2008 that Sambora had paid $3.58 million for a furnished 52nd-floor condo. The building has been using Sambora's pad as a model unit.

In March the Inquirer reported that the Hamelses had paid more than $2.2 million for their 2,700-square-foot, three-bedroom unit. Have they? Asked whether the Hamelses had purchased a condo or had been given a free or discounted lease on a rental unit, a building spokeswoman replied:

"We are thrilled Cole and Heidi Hamels have chosen to reside at the Residences at Two Liberty Place, that they are enjoying life at the Residences and have become part of our building's community," the spokeswoman said.

"They are paying fair consideration; however, out of respect for the privacy of all of our residents and as a matter of policy, we do not release the terms of our residents' agreements of sale until transactions are a matter of public record," the spokeswoman said in an e-mail.

Several real-estate professionals tell us they believe that the agreements of sale that were signed by Sambora and Hamels likely have easy escape clauses in the event that the rocker or the pitcher decide not to buy.

Marlton's Randy Alexander is used to staying behind the scenes, but the music publicist is schuleded to be on CBS' "The Early Show" in the 8 a.m. hour Thursday in a segment about Michael Jackson memorabilia.

The 11-year-old Kensington girl who was raped on June 1 got to meet Beyonce at the superstar's Friday show at the Wachovia Center due to the efforts of several Philly Police officers and a veteran radio personality.

First District Police Officer Shamal Bryant is a friend of a cousin of the young girl and wanted to orchestrate a fun night out for the victim.

She enlisted the help of fellow First District Officer Jayson Smith and their friend Ijnanya Alsbrooks in getting Park Avenue Limo to take the girl and her mother to and from the concert, and Bryant called Colby Colb Tyner, formerly of 100.3 The Beat, who got tickets through the Beat and also spoke with Beyonce's management to get the girl and her mother into a meet-and-greet with the singer.

Bryant previously arranged for Sneaker Villa to donate shoes to the child and for her to have a shopping spree at the Gap on Walnut Street in Center City. Stylist Tamara McIntosh did the girl's hair in her home.

We hear the girl had a wonderful time at the concert.

By the way, Colby Colb, who left The Beat last year, is working as an internship coordinator at the Mastery Charter High School in Germantown. The school was known as Pickett when he was there 20 years ago.

Good luck to Micah "Wing Kong" Collins. The International Federation of Competitive Eating pro has qualified for the final table at the annual July 4 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island. The former Wing Bowl contender will square off alongside three-time Wing Bowl champ Joey Chestnut, who holds the Nathan's Mustard Yellow Belt. Japanese eating machine Takeru Kobayashi will also compete again this year, as will Patrick Bertoletti and Rich "The Locust" LeFevre, who got cheers in the past for chowing down at Wing Bowl wearing a Donovan McNabb jersey. Collins recently qualified in Charlotte, N.C. after two failed attempts.

Gerard Butler on the set of "The Bounty" at the Borgata.

Jennifer Aniston hosted a dinner party for eight at her suite at the Water Club in Atlantic City where the actress stayed last week shooting “The Bounty,” which co-stars Gerard Butler. We’re told the Water Club and Borgata’s butler staff served a meal that included menu items from Izakaya and Bobby Flay Steak, which Aniston selected. Aniston also dined at Bobby Flay with the film’s director Andy Tennant, and also worked out daily at the Water Club’s Immersion Spa.

Butler, who recently shot “Law Abiding Citizen” in Philadelphia, was no stranger to Immersion, working out there and also being treated to a Four Hand Massage by two massage therapists. The Scotsman was also spied studying his lines poolside after swimming laps at the Water Club’s indoor pool. In the film, Butler plays a bounty hunter chasing Aniston, his fugitive ex-wife. “SNL” actor Jason Sudeikis co-stars. He and Butler shot a scene on the Borgata’s porte cochere.

Media Enterprises CEO Bill McAlister on-set with Billy Mays

Top executives at Bensalem's Media Enterprises, Inc. are having an internal meeting today, a spokeswoman confirms, to decide whether the company will continue to air commercials for its products hosted by pitchman Billy Mays, who died at home Sunday in Tampa Bay, Florida. Mays, who was 50, worked infomercials for Media Enterprises' Mighty Putty and Mighty Mendit, and recenty taped spots for some of its newer products, which may or may not see the air.

UPDATE: Media Enterprises reports that in agreement with the wishes of the Mays family,his Mighty Putty and Mighty Mendit commercials will be pulled from the air until July 6, after his funeral. Additionally, on July 11 Mays will be seen on commercials for two new Mighty products: Mighty Tape and the Super Pack, which includes Mighty Putty, Mighty Putty Wood and the new Mighty Steel. “After ten years as Billy’s business associates and personal friends there is no doubt that Billy would expect the show to go on,” said Bill McAlister, president of Media Enterprises. “A brief moment of advertising silence seems to be fitting tribute to the world’s greatest infomercial voice. He will be missed.”

Mays’ royalties from sales of Mighty products will go toward his family.
