*Two New York newspapers reported yesterday that Al Reynolds has been a fixture on the social scene - accompanied by young ladies - ever since his wife Star Jones announced that she has filed for divorce.

      The Post's Page Six says Reynolds "hit club Home late last week with a new buxom lady friend, where he was drinking and dancing till the wee hours."

       The column quotes a cocktail waitress at the club who said:  "He was at the bar with her. She was a pretty big girl. They were dancing to hip-hop and bobbing their heads. He had on a white button-down [shirt], open with a diamond necklace hanging out. And he was drinking all night with his pinky in the air."        

       Meanwhile, the Daily News' Full Disclosure column claims Reynolds, a Florida Memorial University professor, has decided to expand his dating options by joining the social networking site Facebook.com.

      As of press time, he had 36 online friends and still listed himself as married on his page.

 SERIOUSLY, MARIAH CAREY AND NICK CANNON?: Monday outing raises more questions about possible relationship.

  *Although reps for Mariah Carey deny that she's dating Nick Cannon, she was spotted with the star of her upcoming video again on Monday night.       

       Spies tell People magazine they looked rather cozy while attending a party in Las Vegas. After landing by private jet, the pair headed straight to Privé Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood, where Cannon was scheduled to deejay.       

       Witnesses also said that Nick may have given Mimi a secret shout out from the DJ booth. When he played Jay-Z's song "Public Service Announcement," Carey stood up in the VIP section and yelled along to the line:  "I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain."

      Meanwhile, Carey's traveling companion Da Brat was also in the building, an chocolate cake was served in honor of her 34th birthday.       

       "We have a very special person in the house tonight," Cannon shouted from the DJ booth. "Happy birthday, Brat."
