Michelle Williams
The new issue of Us Weekly, which looks at how Michelle Williams never moved on after losing Heath Ledger four years ago— until she fell for Jason Segel. After years of platonic friendship, the two have turned up the heat, meeting up for several intimate dates in New York and L.A. Says a Segel source, “Romantically, this kind of happened overnight!” Says another source, “Jason is supersweet. He makes Michelle laugh and feel good about herself.” On the surface, the demure mom and the freewheeling bachelor seem like a head-scratching coupling, but a Segel insider says, “He has made an effort to clean up his act. Jason has been trying to be more of a grown-up lately. He is taking care of himself more, exercising, eating right and dressing better. Basically, not acting like a frat boy anymore.” According to another Segel source, “He’s super into Michelle, and it just really seems like he doesn’t want to mess this up.”And Williams could use a true romance. She and Ledger split in 2007 — four and a half months before he overdosed on a combination of prescription drugs — largely because of his escalating drug use, per sources. Still, his passing “took a huge toll on her,” says a Ledger friend. “It was an extremely dark period in her life. She is a romantic and always felt partly responsible for not being able to help Heath. It’s weighed on her a lot.” But while Williams is basking in this new romance, can the pairing last? “Jason can be a bit of a playboy,” says a Segel source. “The only way this will work is if he completely devotes himself to Michelle.” For now, Williams is choosing to remain cautiously optimistic about the Five-Year Engagement star. “She doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes she made with Heath,” says the Ledger source. “She wants a good guy who will give her a stable family life.”
Also included below are this week’s Hot Stuff items which include the scoop on a Saturday Night Live cast exodus, Victoria Beckham ordering a plate of lettuce, Adam Levine being blindsided by his split with Anne Vyalitsyna, and Aubrey O’Day’s feud with Arsenio Hall.
HOT STUFF
Andy SambergSNL CAST: Mass Exodus!
No joke: two sources tell Hot Stuff that several Saturday Night Live players are ready to move on. “Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all leaving after the end of the season,” says one insider. “It will be a huge blow to the show. Without Andy’s video shorts and Kristen saving every skit, they’ll need help!” And though a rep for Wiig, 38, and Sudeikis, 36, refutes this — telling Us, “No decisions are made until the season is over” — an insider says the timing is right, especially for the Bridesmaids star. “Kristen was talking about leaving a while ago,” says a Wiig pal. “With her movie success, it’s no surprise.”

Victoria BeckhamPosh Eats a Plate of Lettuce
Hold the fries — and the burger, bun and tomato! For a March meal at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills (known for its risotto), Victoria Beckham ordered . . . lettuce! A fellow diner tells Hot Stuff, “All I saw her eat was a plate of arugula — not even any salad dressing!” Call it a green plate special for the lithe mom of four, 37, who’s a regular at the restaurant. Says an insider, “She orders like that all the time!”

Adam LevineADAM LEVINE: Blindsided by the Split
The singer was stunned when Anne V ended their romance
Adam Levine is, well, in misery. After his Sports Illustrated swimsuit-model girlfriend of two years, Anne Vyalitsyna, dumped him, she announced it to the world April 2 without giving him a heads-up. “It was a cheap shot,” says a pal. “Anne didn’t want it to look like he broke up with her.” The Maroon 5 crooner, 33 — who was home in L.A. when she broke up with him from NYC — “was blindsided,” says a Levine friend. “Adam’s heartbroken. He wasn’t even sure they were really broken up.” The insider adds that as recently as late March, “he thought they were together!” Though the Voice star was leveled by the surprise, friends of the couple saw the split coming. “Anne said he didn’t pay her enough attention,” says a pal of the model, 26, who hung out in Miami in late March while Levine worked in Costa Rica. Another gripe: He wouldn’t put a ring on it. “As a woman, you get to a point where you want to get married,” adds an insider. “Adam wasn’t ready to take that step.” Vyalitsyna, it seems, is now on the hunt for someone who will. Says a source of the model — seen partying at NYC’s Darby April 1 — “She’s telling people she wants to meet guys!”

Aubrey O’DayAubrey Fires Back
Aubrey O’Day is fired — up! After the pop singer took sole credit for her team’s big win on The Celebrity Apprentice on April 1, Arsenio Hall, 56, lashed out at her. “I guess it’s flattering that I upset him so much,” the singer, 28, tells Hot Stuff of Hall, who later referred to “her stank ass” and told teammates, “I googled her and a naked picture with a gut popped up. . . . F—k her!” O’Day, who dramatically fled the boardroom after Hall’s rant, adds that he is just warming up. “Arsenio gets worse in the next episode, when he calls me a whore,” she reveals. “He doesn’t want strong women to have too much of a voice. Typical in this industry.”
