Heidi Building New Brothel
Dennis Wants Heidi to Give up Her Other Boyfriends ?

Moonlight BunnyRanch owner Dennis Hof has found himself a new lady: Heidi Fleiss. He says he and the Hollywood Madam are (ahem) expressing their love daily.

Paula's jonesing  for Clinton library

Paula Jones wants to go to a library - but she isn't looking for a book.

The woman who claimed that former President Bill Clinton exposed himself to her thinks it's time she visited the $165 million study center dedicated to his administration.

"My house is about 17 miles from it," says Jones, who lives just north of Little Rock, Ark. "I pass by [the Clinton Presidential Center] all the time. I kept saying, 'I ought to go in there.' My friends and I talked about putting on wigs - just in case they won't let me in - and making a day of it."

Jones mentioned her plan to David Hans Schmidt, the Phoenix-based agent who brokered her nude spread in

Penthouse, and he suggested they turn the outing into a media event and maybe make a few bucks in the process.

"Paula will wear a T-shirt with the sponsor's name," says Schmidt.

Jones says she can use the money because lawyers who brought her sexual harassment suit against Clinton took most of her $850,000 settlement.

"I got $151,000," says Jones. "That's gone. I was going through a divorce.

I had to get a home for my two boys. I never made bunches of money. Mary Kay LeTourneau can molest a child, then turn around and marry him, and make $1 million off their TV wedding!"

Still, she insists, "It doesn't matter if I get any money. I was going to do it anyway."

She already knows she's not mentioned anywhere in the exhibits.

"How could they wipe away those years of his life?" she grumbles.

Jones and Clinton agree on one thing: "A lot of people used me for their agendas. But I got the blame. They called me 'trailer trash.' I've never been in a trailer."

Clinton spokesmen declined to comment on Jones' latest bid to embarrass the former President.

Ma's available for NA

It seems club kid Noel Ashman is something of a mama's boy. Ashman has been battling investors in his Meatpacking District club, NA, for control over the venue and reportedly changed the office locks to keep his partners away.

But according to court papers, it was his mother, Robin Ashman, doing all the dirty work at 244 W. 14th St.

"Robin, with the assistance of two private security guards, has changed the locks on the doors at 244, and she has barricaded herself in the offices of 244... she has refused to leave the premises," the suit by Ashman's partners alleges.

The club's other investors, Thomas Frayne, Eugene Boissiere and Jayson Krystal want to oust Ashman as the president of their corporation for overspending their weekly budget of $8,650 by more than $14,000.

Trouble in Mellon-ville

Vanity Fair airs Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon's dirty laundry in their upcoming issue, exposing the gory details about the stiletto princess' divorce from American banking heir Matthew Mellon.

"He would go out for a carton of milk and not return for a week - he'd be in one of any number of cities having hooked up with his local coke fixer," writes the story's author, Evgenia Peretz.

During one of Mellon's extended disappearances he allegedly landed in a crack den.

Tamara, a well-heeled London mogul, has persevered, recently launching a photo book, "Four Inches," featuring Kate Moss and Sarah Ferguson nude except for their Jimmy Choos. All of the proceeds go to the Elton John AIDS foundation.

Atta girl!

To err is Post-like

Could the New York Post have gotten it wrong yet again?

Last week, The New York Times said the discount digest had wrongly reported that financier Robert Weil was buying Adelaide de Menil's 40-acre Amagansett, L.I., oceanfront estate for $90 million - which would've been the highest price yet paid for a residential property in the country.

It would have been, that is, had it been true.

A day later, another Postie claimed that Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick would switch roles as Oscar and Felix when "The Odd Couple" hits Broadway in October.

But Broderick told The News' Joe Dziemianowicz that it wasn't happening.

"No," said the talented-to-his-toes actor, who'll play the neat Felix. "Only if we get really bored."

How could ennui have set in already, before they've even rehearsed?

Not that kind of merging...

Wall Street's finest are still buzzing over a conference call a few weeks back. An up-and-coming Harvard-educated analyst for one prominent firm was assigned the simple task of organizing a conference call between the venerable J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse First Boston.

But the number the big boys called had nothing to do with mergers or acquisitions - it was none other than a sassy phone sex line.

We're curious how the firm's CEO is planning on expensing that one.
