New Jersey Nets party boy Kris Humphries and Celtics player Paul Pierce were spotted separately Monday night at STK for the launch of its “Magnum Mondays” dinner party. According to our snitch, Humphries ogled the Beach Bunny Swimwear models whose fashion showcase was conveniently situated next to his table, while Pierce and his crew enjoyed a low-key dinner across the room. Pierce politely refused a few rounds of tequila, which were sent to him by loyal Miami Heat fans in what appeared to be an attempt to reduce his performance in Game 5 the following night.
Smart move on Pierce’s part, we guess. After their win against the Heat on Tuesday, Celtics players Rondo, Brandon Bass and Daniels, along with Lue and Raptors player Alan Anderson, had dinner in Philippe’s private wine room while in the main room, LeBron James had a quiet dinner with his mother and family.
Meanwhile, Celtics player Ray Allen headed to Prime 112 for a late-night victory meal.

Some of the band jumped on stage when the DJ played the group’s new track Party 2nite. The crowd, consisting “fully of NKOTB cruisers,” says our source, “went wild.” The group’s former fearless leader, Marky Mark Wahlberg, unfortunately, was nowhere to be found.
