Yes, it's true.

The $h!t is gonna hit the fan.

Brody Jenner and Lauren Conrad are officially "seeing each other," Jenner tells People magazine.

"I don't know what you consider dating, but we're seeing each other, we're having a great time with it. She's an amazing girl. That's all there is to say. She's fun to be around. She's sweet. She's kind. There's nothing bad to say about her," he gushed.

There had been speculation about a romance between Conrad and Jenner, who arrived together at Wednesday's Rock & Republic fashion show at the West Hollywood club Area. Last week, they were spotted twice at Hollywood hot spot Les Deux, where an observer said they looked "very cozy."

Conrad, however, was coy about her relationship with Jenner, saying only that the quote-unquote Prince of Malibu is "a nice guy."

Earlier this month, Jenner split up with Nicole Richie, whom he'd been dating since August. They began seeing each other just weeks after Jenner, 23, ended his year-and-a-half relationship with Laguna Beach star and LC arch-nemesis Kristin Cavallari. Suffice it to say, Kristin is not gonna like this new development.
Asked if he's still in contact with Richie, Jenner tells People: "Yeah, of course. Me and Nicole remain good friends. Nothing will change that."

Jenner, a former Guess model, has known Nicole since they were toddlers. Conrad, who went on to star in The Hills after graduating from Laguna Beach, has known Cavallari since high school. They're not friends! Even less so now!

Conrad split from total assclown and fellow Laguna Beach alum Jason Wahler back in August. The jackass proceeded to get arrested multiple times.

Three months after her split from architect Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley is looking great -- and is back to work, modeling for CoverGirl and launching a wake-up-call plan featuring in her voice.

"She looks better than any 19-year-old I've ever dressed. She's an inspiration to women of all ages," says Jessica Paster, who styled Brinkley for an October 11 Skin Cancer Foundation benefit in Manhattan, People reports in its new issue.

Indeed, the 52-year-old mom of three has stunned onlookers each time she has turned out at an event with her bankable beauty -- and her dignity -- intact.

That's no surprise to Brinkley's daughter with ex Billy Joel, Alexa Ray Joel, 20, who says of her mom: "Anything negative, she translates into something positive. She always handles herself with class."

It helps that Brinkley has kept busy with younger children Jack, 11, and Sailor, 8.

"She's getting ready for Halloween," says her good friend, dermatologist Patricia Wexler, adding that the model would make her kids' costumes.

With the kids back in school, Brinkley is also focusing on her career, says acquaintance Barry Slotnick.

On October 13 she filmed a commercial for a CoverGirl. Two days earlier, at the launch of her new wake-up-call service (available at Hyatt Hotels, with $1 for each Brinkley message requested going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation), one onlooker marveled, "She looks like she's in high school!"

As for Peter Cook, who admitted in July to an affair with his 19-year-old assistant, Diani Bianchi? These days, says his lawyer, Norman Sheresky, the Southampton, N.Y.-based architect is "doing fine. He's adjusting to the fact that he's probably going to get divorced -- or I should say that his wife is getting a divorce from him."

Are you listening, Kate Bosworth?
Pull up close to your screen, Mischa Barton.

None other than Claudia Schiffer says that women, especially models, have become too skinny to be attractive.

"It doesn't really look good any more," the 36-year-old says in an interview with Germany's Bunte magazine.

"Fashion looks good on thin models, but when you look at today's models you can not help but think there is something wrong. They are way too thin. It is only bones that stick out."

Schiffer hit her stride as a catwalker in the 90s, along with supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christie Turlington and Linda Evangelista.

Those ladies had some nice curves on them. Sadly, the only thing some women, such as Kelly Ripa, know about curves these days is that they're a slower pitch than a fastball.

Meanwhile, the city of Madrid recently banned models below a certain weight from its fashion shows. Models with a body-mass-index (BMI) - which takes into account height and weight - of less than 18 were not allowed to take to the runway.

"Models have always been thin. But today, they are even thinner, which is unbelievable," said Schiffer, who has been on the cover of more than 550 magazines during her career.

Amen, Claudia. Take a look at this Tyra Banks picture, people. It's easy to be beautiful and non-skeletal.

 
In a battle of Madonna versus Jesus, NBC has taken the side of everyone's favorite savior.

Under pressure by advertisers, the network finally convinced the controversial star to cut a crucifixion scene from an upcoming concert special.

Mel Gibson celebrated the triumph of Catholic values with a beer.

During the song "Live to Tell," Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns, a visual statement meant, she's maintained, to illustrate a theme of confession. Shockingly, not everyone saw it that way.

Religious leaders across the globe have objected to the demonstration, as several church-related groups had threatened to organize a boycott of one of the advertisers on the show.

Therefore, NBC has little choice but to censor the concert more than a nude Nicky Hilton model shoot.

So tune in November 22 and see what stunts the Material Girl was allowed to broadcast. Also, don't expect NBC to ever air the Screech sex tape.

 
Don't believe us? Ask the the buxom-laden blonde yourself.

In Jane magazine, Jessica Simpson says that on their third wedding anniversary, she went to go save the children while Nick just "stayed at home."

In that one fateful moment, everything changed for Ashlee's sister.

"Everything became so clear," said Jessica. "I was in hospitals with all these sick kids ... I just knew I needed to find something more in my life, on my own."

Like the long-awaited answer to the chicken/tuna debate.

Look, we like Jessica. She's pretty and sweet. But give Nick Lachey a break. He wasn't the one that spent hundreds on lingerie that could've gone to charity or sat around the house, whining about cooking a meal.

Okay, maybe we watched too much Newlyweds.

The point is: Lachey may not be Bono ... but he's not O.J. Simpson, either.

It's been a hard couple of weeks for Sienna Miller, who has been openly ogled by drooling passers-by, confronted by cops for acting like a diva in a local bar, hated by her hometown for terming it "Sh!ttsburgh," and laughed at by millions for her idiotic remarks about humans being f*%king animals when it comes to relationships, and so on down the line.

Here, she enjoys a tender moment with co-star Jon Foster on the set of her latest movie, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Foster has apparently learned a lesson from our man in London and refrains from checking out Miller's back side until no cameras are present. Meanwhile, T.H. Gossip takes a very, very extended look at Sienna's ample front.

Jude Law? Rolling in his grave.

O.J. Simpson has confessed.

Hypothetically, that is.

The former football great, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to MSNBC.

But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder, people. Oh no.

He's writing a "hypothetical" book -- one tentatively being called If I Did It.

THG NOTE: This is akin to Anna Nicole Smith authoring a memoir called If I Married a 90-Year Old Billionaire, Then Sold The Last Living Pics of My Dead Son For More Money, or to a lesser degree, Lindsay Lohan writing a tell-all book called If Those 386 Guys Boned Me.

Simpson, who is probably one of the worst people alive not named Kim Jong Il, seeing as he brutally murdered two humans and now stands to profit off of it, talks early on about how he fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed.

The only member of the NFL's 2,000-yard single-season rushing club to also slash the throats of other people goes on to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman -- stipulating that the murder scenes are "hypothetical."

Yet the descriptions are reportedly so detailed and so realistic that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.

Because of double jeopardy laws, O.J. Simpson can never be tried for the murders again. But was later ordered to pay over $30 million after being convicted in a wrongful death civil suit.

The victims' families can't have his six-figure annual NFL pension plan, of course -- and Orenthal plans to spend the earnings from this new book quickly, MSNBC reports, so those greedy bastards can't touch that either!

Wow. And we thought Mel Gibson had issues. Buy some nice summer clothes with those book royalties, Juice -- we hear hell is pretty damn hot.

Just kidding. Zach Braff was not even in the same pic as those two.

Did we fool you? If so, sorry. But were we really lying? He probably would want to hit that -- the Scrubs star is single, and a red-blooded male, after all.

Nevertheless, it's his Scrubs co-star, Donald Faison, who's moving in on that piece. They're dating. In this pic, he's escorting the lovely CaCee Cobb to the L.A. hot spot Hyde, which may be the only club in Southern California.

Cobb, of course, is the former BFF and personal assistant to Ms. Jessica Simpson. Emphasis on former. She couldn't hack it after awhile. It's a hard life, being a celebrity's bitch and having a retarded name, to boot. Listening, Rumer Willis?

In the picture at left, Braff was attending the Hollywood screening of the Lifetime film, Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy, which stars another Scrubs cast member, Sarah Chalke. Braff did hit that piece. On screen at least.

Apparently, Paris Hilton wants to make up for the fact that her dog hates her almost as much as most human beings.

Despite being mauled by her pet last week, Hilton took Tinkerbell to Pet Headquarters in Malibu yesterday for a little pampering. The chic pet shop features pet food, fashions, bags and carriers.

Paris is obviously trying to boost Tink up in the In Touch Weekly rankings of most pampered pets. As of now, she ranks second behind the Maltipoo Daisy of Jessica Simpson.

Really, we're not making this up.

In this place is the Parson Russel terrier of Mariah Carey; followed by Diddy Maltese, Sophie; and Oprah Winfrey's cocker spaniel, also named Sophie.

We're not entirely sure why Nicole Richie wasn't on the list. Probably because you can't keep aliens as pets.

Nicky Hilton is promoting her new Nicky O Hotel in Miami Beach, and has apparently enlisted a bunch of models. Nude models. Male and female nude models. See below.

The official marketing materials will undoubtedly feature hands and maybe some props conveniently covering all the right places, but these candids shots show the models in all their glory.

Or lack thereof. T.H. Gossip had to do the honors of covering up this guy ogling Nicky (he wouldn't be the only one, although our previous gawker wasn't also nude and handling his package).

Paris' younger sister recently dumped her boyfriend, Kevin Connolly. There were rumors that Connolly was cheating on her, and that at the photo shoot Nicky was overheard screaming at someone on the phone and yelling "I hate you!!!!!!"

Sadly, she probably wasn't talking to Paris. Those sisters get along.

In a poorly-worded press release, Nicky Hilton's South Beach getaway promises to mix a social celebrity experience with Nicky's vision of luxury, including the scent of gardenias throughout and mini cupcakes on guest's pillows.

We're not sure if that's gonna happen at the Nicky O, but the dude in this picture certainly looks like he's ready to show Nicky an O-Face, if you know what we're saying. Oh! Oh! You know how we do.

Sorry. Below are some more pics we found of this glorious event. Note that the douchebag on the left is wearing a shirt that says "Nicky Hilton's Birthday." Dude, there is no way you are gonna tap that ass, even if she's on the rebound. Get a clue. On the right, Nicky struts her stuff by the hotel entrance.
