Know what we super-duper love, with cherries on top? When publicists write our items for us! Let us tell you, it ain't easy spitting out three, sometimes four dozen words about people, places, and things we wish would just go away so we could go back to having a normal Ketel-One-at-noon habit like our unemployed and trust fund friends. So when a well-meaning flack writes in with item suggestions, we're forever in their debt.
Our savior today is Ketchum PR, which reps consumer brands like Kodak, Cingular, and FedEx. They also represent Cadbury's Stride Gum, which, wouldn't you know, threw a party yesterday evening — on the longest day of the year! It was at Teddy's, and celebrities showed up. Like Ashlee Simpson, who of course didn't get an appearance fee.
And it's Ketchum's duty to get the word out, so they've crafted some "items" for us to run.
The generously pre-packaged gossip, after the jump!
• Ashlee Simpson celebrated the longest day of the year at the Stride® Gum party at Teddy's in Hollywood sporting a bubblegum pink dress.
• Jessica Simpson showed up at the Stride® Gum party to support her sister and was spotted singing and dancing to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."
• Kate Hudson blowing bubbles all night long at the Stride® Gum party while sitting next to Lionel Richie.
• It was a sister's affair at the Stride® Gum party - besides Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Hilary and Haylie Duff showed up arm in arm as well to celebrate the longest day of the year.
• Kevin Connolly and Haylie Duff canoodling in the corner at Teddy's during the Stride® Gum party.
Oh, and wait. There's more.
• Lauren Conrad partying it up at the Stride® Gum party at Teddy’s while fellow Teen Vogue intern Whitney Port waited outside to get in.
• David Spade with a bevy of women playing air guitar at the Stride® Gum party to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin."
• Haylie Duff getting fashion tips from celebrity stylist, Jessica Paster at the Stride® Gum party at Teddy’s celebrating the longest day of the year
• Stacy Keibler was dancing with her fellow stars Eve and Winona Ryder at the Stride® Gum party at Teddy’s.
• Winona Ryder wearing all black, was spotted at Teddy’s pocketing free packs of Stride® Gum, despite her best efforts to blend in with the crowd.
• Jack Osbourne, dancing up a storm to 80’s tunes in honor of his friend’s birthday at the Stride® Gum party at Teddy’s.
It's as if none of this magic would've taken place without an assist from Stride® Gum!
(Also: When your event welcomes a one Constantine Maroulis past the velvet rope, do us a favor and forget to mention it.)

Ha. Gotta love their deliciously (just like Stride!) bitchy side.
