Brandi Glanville, star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," celebrated her 41st birthday on Saturday (Nov. 16) with a small party at Fleming's steakhouse -- but none of her "Real Housewives" co-stars were there.
A source confirms to E! News that friends Adrienne Janik and Jennifer Gimenez and her on-again boyfriend J.R. Ruiz were there, plus friends Leslie Bruce Amin and Cari Sladek were also there, as they were tweeting pictures from the night out.
"Yolanda [Foster] was supposed to come but at the last minute didn't make it," says the source. But the source adds that it's not because of Glanville's recent claim that "Rhom" star Joanna Krupa had an affair with Foster's ex-husband Mohamed Hadid.
"Brandi and Yolanda are fine again. They worked it out and things between them are good."
"All in all, it was just a really nice dinner," the source says. "Everyone, especially Brandi, had a good time.

"The Insider"'s Victoria Recaño gets personal with "Sober House"'s Jennifer Gimenez as the former model opens up about her battle with drugs and weight. Now three years sober, Jennifer was invited by Dr. Drew to appear on his "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew Presents: Sober House." She says she was there to help the other celebs because of her recovery story. "When they asked me to do the show, I said, 'I am big.' I wasn't aware of how big I was," she recalls. "My whole life has been about image and how I looked on the outside. I said, 'This is a time to give back.' I didn't want to keep it a secret anymore." The secret to which she is referring was her addiction. Jennifer tells Victoria that she started drinking alcohol when she was just 12 years old, but it was cocaine that was her downfall.

Soon-to-be divorced actor Tom Cruise is cheered up on the set of his latest movie by the cast - who make him get up and dance. Cruise, who is currently filming the Cameron Crowe-directed movie Vanilla Sky in Los Angeles, won't let his personal life interfere with his work. And co-star Jennifer Gimenez, who plays one of Cruise's ex- girlfriends, insists rather than shutting himself off from his castmates and surrounding himself with body guards, as had been reported, the superstar is singing and dancing his worries away. She says, "Tom is so great, we dance a lot. Cameron Crowe plays music on the set, before we shoot, to get the atmosphere going, to get everybody happy and we're all dancing and having a good time, having fun. We just enjoy ourselves. I didn't see one body guard there, and he's nothing but love, there's a lot of love about him. He brings his kids on the set, they're beautiful."...
