Close on the heels of the Hillary memoirs hoopla, the latest buzz doing the rounds is that Bill Clinton seems to be spending a lot of time with ‘‘close friend’’, sexy Canadian billionaire Belinda Stronach, with the paparazzi having spotted them on numerous occasions.

According to a report in the New York Post Online, the former president had befriended the 37-year-old CEO of auto-parts giant Magna International Inc., at a birthday bash for rocker Ronnie Hawkins in Toronto. However, Clinton’s representative at the time claimed their relationship was purely professional, revolving around the Clinton Library Foundation.

Stronach’s marriage to Olympian speed-skating champion Johann Olav Koss is headed for splitsville and wagging tongues insist that she and Clinton have seen each other at least four times. The two have also been spotted dining together at the Democratic governors’ conference in Baltimore and a fund-raiser in California.

‘‘I haven’t met a woman yet who is not attracted to Bill Clinton, but it doesn’t mean she is going to marry him. Bill and Belinda are good friends, but there is no romantic linkage. It’s just not that way— you shouldn’t jump to conclusions that they are having a serious fling,’’ a friend of Stronach told Canada’s CanWest News Service. Apparently, Stronach’s divorce has circulated a wildfire of rumors in Toronto society, with local media reporting that the duo have been talking on the phone, playing golf and dining together, with Stronach looking like a younger and prettier version of Hillary Clinton.
