• Nicole Kidman has totally supported her relapsing/philandering husband Keith Urban and stuck by him through his alleged extramarital dalliances and reported coke binges. Which isn't to say it's been easy. Says Kidman, "They say the first year of marriage is the hardest. Please, God!"
• Of all the guys in the world, Lindsay Lohan has decided to date the only person in the world who Paris Hilton truly loves, besides herself.
• Eva Mendes takes a stand against fur by reminding everyone she looks much better naked than you do.
• Keira Knightley poses topless on the cover of next month's Interview magazine. Which is to say she stares coquettishly at the camera while covering up her tiny nipples with a thin, 1-inch wide suspender strap.
• Note to Amy Winehouse: It is, in fact, possible to use drugs recreationally without leaving the house shirtless, deranged or with cocaine still dripping from your nose. Just so you know.
• Katherine Heigl bans "giggling girls" from her musician fiancé's tour bus. In response, Heigl's fiancé bans "creepy chants of 'Bethany Whisper," and gaggles of much-more-attractive men who would give anything to sleep with his future wife.
• Frank Bruni conducts restaurant reviews under the name "Dirk McKenzie." Related: Bruni blasted for being lousy notetaker, praised for making it through a meal at Per Se without throwing up in the dining room.
• Nicky Hilton and Stavros Niarchos visit Paris in jail, prompting "one upset mother" to proclaim, "We don't care about no Paris Hilton." Our sentiments exactly!
• A steamy new tell-all has the inside scoop on the time Madonna and JFK, Jr. didn't sleep together. "She asked him if he had any protection. He didn't, so now they began discussing how they were going to get a hold of a prophylactic." Erotic!
• Eddie Murphy to find out whether or not he fathered Scary Spice's baby. Related: Melanie B.'s newborn said to have hilarious "Alfalfa" impression.
• Clay Aiken's fans are reportedly on a mission to become "even creepier" than Aiken himself.
• It's no secret that Lindsay Lohan blows. But now, there's actually proof!
• Which may explain why the "hard-partying starlet" who dabbles in lesbianism is seeking new representation.
• Meanwhile, Felicity Huffman set a good example for her troubled (and still underage) costar by reportedly getting shitfaced on the set of Georgia Rule.
• Naomi Campbell is in the early honeymoon phone-throwing stages of her relationship with hotelier (and Uma Thurmon castoff) Andre Balazs.
• Stavros Niarchos ditches Paris for a beautiful hamburger-eating blond with a clean criminal record.
• Diddy will never let you forget that he's the man behind lots of other people's success. And Making the Band.
The unthinkable has happened. Some clever internet rogue has hacked his (or her!) way into Lindsay Lohan's MySpace, and unraveled her deepest darkest social networking secrets! Thankfully, Mollygood is on hand to break it all down, and summarize the never-before-seen findings:
Highlight 1: Lindsay thinks Paris is a "cunt."
Highlight 2: Lindsay thinks Perez Hilton is a "fat fuck."
Highlight 3: Paris Hilton uses fake words, like "broughten."
Who would have guessed??
So far, the hacker has managed to elude authorities, and keep his (or her!) secret nerdy identity under wraps. But if Lindsay's MySpace should happen to reveal, say, four year-old video footage of her getting it on with Girls Gone Wild creator (and habitual tax evader) Joe Francis, a la ParisExposed, we think we just might have an idea as to who's behind this.
• Stavros Niarchos cries for his girlfriend back. It's so sad when you lose someone who le's you cheat on her. [TMZ]
• A cab hits James Gandolfini while he rides around on a Vespa. Actually, we think cabs are required to hit people who ride Vespas … Rocco DiSpirito, anyone? [R&M]
• Swanky Meatpacking lounge Double Seven gets ready to flip. [Page Six]
• Anna Nicole Smith's baby daddy is a USA Today's celeb journalist named Larry Birkhead. Oh, the lonely lives of media folk leads to such tragedy at times. [USAT]
• And, at the end of they day, maybe they were right. No Britney Spears announcement … it was all a lie. Damn you British AP! Damn you Matt Lauer!
People's top story today is about one of our fave bed hoppers, Paris Hilton. And while we have some sort of inkling that the rumors may be induced by Simple Life: 3 promotional purposes, evidently her and Stavros Niarchos are calling it splitsville.
Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, have split, a source close to Hilton tells PEOPLE.
When asked about the split, Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, says, "It is not my policy to comment on my client’s private life. But I would not offer a denial."
It actually doesn't say that Stavros broke up with her, but that's sort of what we're assuming. Maybe it's because yesterday she told the whole world on the Ellen show that she likes American guys, too. Or maybe he saw how quickly she dropped her signature phrase "that's hot," and thought well, if she could just dump something that was so important to her, maybe I'm next?
Who knows. Not us, by any means, and actually we're done dissecting it — contemplating the mind of Paris Hilton's boyfriend is making us feel a little like we imagine Kaavya Viswanathan does most days.

• Natalie Portman has every reason to dance around like a spaz. Even though Vanity Fair pulled her cover, people went to see V for Vandetta. [Hollywood Reporter]
Paris Hilton took trashing her boyfriend's ex to the next level while she was dating Paris Lastis. Zeta Graff, who is also an heiress, (are you nauseas yet?) filed a $10 million slander suit against Hilton. Here's what happened: Zeta said that Paris said that Zeta attacked her. Which, would be a non-issue, except that Paris planted the false story in the press.
Eventually, Paris admitted that Zeta Graff never did attack her — Zeta can't wait to "see her explain this one to the jury." This sounds really Laguna Beach to us, and it gets a bit ridiculous. $10 million? Nobody even knows or cares who Zeta Graff is — if you ask us, Hilton did this girl a favor by putting her name on the scene.
So, now that Paris has jumped over to Mary-Kate Olsen's ex, Stavros Niarchos, we simply wait and see what story will be cooking between her and MK. You know if nothing happens, Paris will totally make-up her own drama.
