Randy Spelling was in Miami last week, filming his new reality show for A&E based on his life as a billionaire's son. Visiting hots pots Mansion on Wednesday and Privé on Thursday, Randy showed off a tattoo he had just inked featuring the initials A.S. in honor of his father, Aaron Spelling, who died Friday. As late as Thursday night, Randy was out in Privé's hip-hop room, bumping and grinding with one particular and very attractive Miami lady. He returned to Los Angeles on Saturday morning.

One of this summer's hottest beach reads, 4% Famous, was celebrated at the David Yurman Bal Harbour boutique Monday. Author Deborah Schoeneman, known for her columns in New York magazine and the New York Observer, joined a long list of Miami socialites who may be a few percentage points more famous than the book's title.

It's good to be Don Peebles. Recently honored with the 2006 Trendsetter Award and Project of the Year with The Bath Club (the posh pad even has the seal of approval from former Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland, who's moving in this summer) by the Developer & Builders Alliance awards at Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago Estate. He's about to jet-set with the rest of the Peebles clan to their Santa Fe home for a little R&R. Then it's off to the Mercedes McLaren driving school in England to learn the ropes behind his newest ride.

The Heat had yet another victory dinner Friday night at Vix at the Hotel Victor, hosted by Coach Pat Riley. Shaquille O'Neal and wife Shaunie were first on the scene to the dinner that didn't begin until midnight. Riley was on fire, according to witnesses, bringing out two birthday cakes for Udonis Haslem and Michael Doleac, one reading ''from Dirk,'' referring to the Mav's Hasselhoff-loving player Dirk Nowitzki. After bottles of Cristal, players rose to their feet and started singing and cheering when Bruce Springsteen's The Rising came on the sound system. Shaq eventually took the microphone and gave each player a silver necklace -- rectangular with each player's jersey number, roasting each player as he gave the gift to them. When player Alonzo Mourning showed up late, everyone started yelling. Mourning blamed his tardiness on his wife. The party ended around 2 a.m.

A crew of celebs teed off Saturday afternoon at the Miami Beach Golf Club for DJ Irie's charity golf tourney benefiting the Heat Family Foundation. Among them, Heat stars Haslem and Shaq, who both stayed away from the golf clubs -- they were at Mansion the night before until the wee hours -- and cruised around in golf carts cheering players such as Miami Dolphin Jason Taylor, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync and Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Alfonso Ribeiro, who were all seen along with Robert Iler of The Sopranos partying at the Hotel Victor over the weekend.
