| JESSIE CRACK CORN N' WE DON'T CARE!  A mere hour after two major tabloids confirmed that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's marriage went bust, publicity lackeys for the couple began spitting out statements to the contrary. Of course, Papa Joe was on hand to deny that his sweet, church-reared daughter would be getting - shock! - a divorce. Perhaps if Jessica and Nick were residents of Peyton Place, the thought of a marital split would be a bit more scandalous, but for two members of the Hollywood crowd, divorce is as common as lunchtime trips to get collagen injections. After Knoxvillegate, sightings of the two minus their wedding rings, and Jessica allegedly crying "Nick doesn't want me anymore!" on a flight to LA, only the stupidly naive would believe that Jess n' Nick still live a blissful life. Advice to the former Newlyweds: admit to the split, part amicably, and move on. No one is fooled by your "We're still soooo in love" schtick. Breaking up is hard to do.... |

| STARLET SWAP  Looks like camera-hog Paris is suddenly taking a page out of the Book of Olsen. What gives? Hell-raising Hilton is usually drawn to the flashbulbs like J.Lo is to B-list husbands. The paparazzi can always count on PH to wink her wonky eye and flash her open mouth smile with wild-girl abandon. For real, Paris may be Hollywood's most frequent contributor to Us', Stars, They're Just Like Us! and People's, StarTracks. But since she broke up with Man-Paris and has taken up with an Olsen ex-boyfriend, Paris looks like she is feeling shy. Like a veritable episode of Wife Swap, the Hiltons have recently traded boy-toys with the Olsens. Paris is frenching former MK flame Stavros Niarchos, and Nicky hosted another Mary-Kate castoff, David Katzenberg, at her b-day fiesta. While the similarities seem uncanny (and somewhat incestuous) everyone knows that MK doesn't shield herself with the Gucci ? she only covers her mug with Balenciaga...duh.
