How much do you love your favorite star? No, really, how much? In a charity auction on eBay sponsored by Godiva, fans had the chance to bid on dinner parties with stars including Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, Benjamin Bratt and Sarah Jessica Parker - but the one who inspired the largest bid was Ricky Martin. Fan Jody Lang is so loca for the Latin singer that she bid $47,200 for him (the money will go to the Ricky Martin Foundation) - and she cashed in her win last weekend, dining with Martin at Chef Allen's in Aventura, Fla. So what's it like to know that someone spent that much to dine with you? "We were thinking about it on the way (to the restaurant) and it's like, what are we going to do, we have to do something besides this," said Martin. But Lang, 34, who was decked out in a red dress to meet Martin, seemed happy just to feast with the heartthrob. "It's a ton of money but it's a dream come true and an opportunity of a lifetime," said Lang, a consultant. "For that, I don't know if you can really put a price on it. He represents so much to me. He's an international spokesman who works with children. I'm an avid salsa and Latin dancer. I love his music. At his shows, he has a way to bring everyone together no matter what your background. He has this infectious power that is just beautiful." And, "he's taller than I thought."

Partying with Tara
Looking for Tara Reid? Lately it seems Miami hotspot Onda Lounge is a safe bet. The My Boss's Daughter star recently showed up there for two out of three nights. We spotted her one evening hanging out in a VIP area with a group of friends until about 1:20 a.m., wearing a midriff-baring (but breast-covering) orange-and-white tie-dyed top, white pants and a gold belt. Reid sipped cocktails, chatted with friends and occasionally got up to dance on the ledge behind her couch. Also at the club that night: Rebel Billionaire stars Steve Berke and Jessica McCann, who arrived together at 12:45 a.m. Berke had his "Moosh Pillow" in one arm and McCann in the other, and the two looked cozy for the whole evening.
