He may be a Jersey guy, but he’s been living a Manhattan lifestyle.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has put his Manhattan penthouse on the market, and a peek inside shows 7,452 square feet of pure luxury. And it better be luxurious and then some, considering he just put the place on the market for $42 million, a mind-blowing price even for New York real estate.

Rush Limbaugh (Getty Images)Beyonce (Getty Images)Anyone who’s listened to much of Rush Limbaugh’s conservative radio show knows he isn’t exactly an ally of women.

He’s said that feminism is a ploy to get “unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society,” called a female law student campaigning to get birth control covered by health insurance a “prostitute,” and most recently poo-pooed the Violence Against Women Act. So it was no surprise that, this week, he picked a new female target, one known the world over. Not Hillary Clinton. Not Nancy Pelosi.

He took on Beyoncé.

Seems that while many of Bey’s previous songs like “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” and “Run the World (Girls),” extoll the virtues of girl power, Limbaugh claims that the pop star’s latest single, “Bow Down/I Been On” is all about bowing down to men.

The 62-year-old got on the topic thanks to a recent opinion piece that ran in Britain’s The Telegraph, in which author Felicity Capon writes that Beyoncé’s global sisterhood message has changed recently, thanks to the tune “Bow Down” and the fact she’s named her upcoming tour “The Mrs. Carter Show” (in a nod to hubby Jay-Z’s last name).

Witherspoon and Phillippe. (Getty Images)Reese Witherspoon and ex Ryan Phillippe seem to have more and more in common these days. In addition to having two children together, both have moved on to new relationships since divorcing six years ago, both have cute new little ones under the age of 2 … and both have had trouble unloading some pretty pricey pieces of real estate lately.

But this week, Phillippe officially won the race to find a buyer for the home he’s selling. The “Crash” star closed on the sale of his 7,477-square-foot Hollywood Hills home for $6 million, according to real estate website Zillow.

Holly and Rainbow. (In Touch)You don't see rainbows every day, but on Wednesday Holly Madison shared one with the world when she debuted her newborn daughter. The baby made headlines just days after she was born – for being named, yes, Rainbow.

The former Playboy Playmate revealed photos of her 2-week-old bundle of joy in this week's issue of In Touch Weekly, where she sounds as jolly as ever. "Just holding her is so much fun," Madison tells the mag. “Even the delivery was easy — I was actually laughing as I was pushing!”

Kevin Clash (Paul Moigi/WireImage)It’s been a busy week in the world of Elmo.

On the bad publicity front, one of the multiple men who last year accused Kevin Clash, the former puppeteer behind the “Sesame Street” character Elmo, of having sex with him when he was underage, has filed a new lawsuit against the 52-year-old, alleging sexual abuse and claiming that Clash provided him with the crystal meth the two did together back when the accuser was a teenager.

The plaintiff, 24-year-old Sheldon Stephens, made his first allegations last November before recanting them and calling his relationship with Clash an “adult consensual” one. That month, Clash resigned from his “Sesame Street” job after revealing he is gay and maintaining his innocence.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s son Liam’s 6th birthday party over the weekend looked like a Star Wars fan’s dream come true, complete with actors dressed as Storm Troopers, Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker, and even included an R2D2 pinata. But one very important hero of Liam’s was missing from the bash: his dad.

“Dean had to take his older son to the emergency room after he broke his nose in Liam's bouncy house at this weekend's party,” McDermott’s rep told omg! on Monday.

Roxy the Boxer (Twitter)Jennifer Lopez and boyfriend Casper Smart’s relationship has been on the fast track since the two got together the fall of 2011, just a few months after she announced her separation from now-ex-husband Marc Anthony. And this week the inseparable duo proved just how serious they are about cementing their new life together when they got their second dog in two months.

Lopez, 43, and her 25-year-old backup dancer beau first took home Boxer pup Bear back in January. Then on Wednesday, Smart tweeted an update on the little guy and shared some other “big” news.

“Update.. Lil bear is doin GREAT!!! He was 9lbs when we got him, now he's 22lbs in a short 7weeks.. But @JLo & I have a surprise for y'all!!!,” he wrote, followed by another post the next day that revealed the new addition, another baby Boxer, with a pic of the ridiculously cute pup.

“Meet Roxy.... Newest member to the family.... @JLo 's baby, & bears new boo!!!! #Surprise.”

Lena Dunham has achieved quite a lot in her nearly 27 years. She’s created a hit show (the edgy HBO series “Girls”), become famous for her lead role in it, and was recently rewarded with several Golden Globes. But there’s one feat she’s not interested in accomplishing: Getting the body of a Victoria’s Secret model.

“I don’t think I’d like it very much. There would be all kinds of weird challenges to deal with that I don’t have to deal with now. I don’t want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack,” Dunham says in the April issue of Playboy. “Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier. That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants. Then I’d call a doctor and see if she could return me to my former situation.”
