Yes, the butler did it—which is only part of the reason why people in Monaco are buzzing about Princess Stephanie. In the wake of her romance with Richard Lucas, her father's married butler, the princess was a last-minute no-show at the $l,000-a-plate Red Cross Ball, the royal family's biggest charity event, on Aug. 2. A friend of the princess's tells us that Stephanie was set to attend the event when her sister Princess Caroline asked her to lie low due to the scandal with Lucas. The two had a royal argument, with their father, Prince Rainier, caught in the middle of the dispute. Stephanie's no-show also left their brother Prince Albert in the lurch: Albert and Stephanie typically open the ball with the first dance. Instead, everyone at the royal table sat it out while the band played on.

Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias and tennis star Anna Kournikova keep insisting they're "just friends," even though the evidence indicates otherwise. The two, who met last December when Kournikova appeared in Iglesias's music video for his single "Escape," were most recently spotted together in Las Vegas. On Aug. 4 they had a romantic dinner at the Bellagio hotel before taking in Cirque du Soleil's O water show. Next they stopped in at the hotel's nightclub, Light, where they shared a bottle of Grey Goose vodka and Kournikova danced on a couch, much to Iglesias's delight. The pair eventually left the club at 3 a.m. A friend indeed.

Surf girls are hot in Hollywood. In addition to this summer's splashy chick flick, Blue Crush, you'll see sexy wave riders in Charlie's Angels 2, which will feature scenes with Cameron Diaz going undercover as a surfer. To prepare to hang 10, Diaz—who'd never surfed before—trained with a private coach in Malibu. First she spent time in a pool learning to paddle and balance on the board. When she hit the waves for real, her Angels costar Drew Barrymore joined her, even though she doesn't have any surfing scenes in the film. I'm told Barrymore just always wanted to learn how to surf.

One of the reasons rumors swirl about Bruce Willis and Demi Moore getting back together is that they both often accompany their three daughters—Rumer, 14, Scout, 11, and Tallulah, 8—to events. On Aug. 2, for instance, Willis and Moore took them to the L.A. set of Nickelodeon's All That to see a performance by Aaron Carter, 14. Huge fans of Carter's, the girls visited with him in his dressing room before grabbing a spot in front for the show. Backstage, a beaming Willis watched alone, while Moore wolf-whistled her approval alongside Carter's mom. Also backstage was Britney Spears, who hung out with one of the show's newest cast members—little sis Jamie Lynn, 11.
