Yes, it's true. * tear * Reality TV stars Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt have ended their friendship of more than 10 years, an inside source reveals.

"It's been messy," a well-placed insider tells Perez Hilton.

Not surprisingly for anyone who watches MTV's hit show The Hills, the lovely Lauren Conrad is supposedly at the center of the rift between these former best friends.

In Season Two, Heidi Montag began dating the slimy Pratt, and his pal Jenner was thus introduced to Heidi's then-BFF, Lauren.

Briefly, Lauren and Brody dated, while Heidi and LC saw their friendship deteriorate as she became closer to the manipulative Spencer, who she is now engaged to.

Just so you're all caught up.

Sources say Spencer Pratt, the weasel who was working as Jenner's "manager" and who supposedly masterminded Jenner's brief courtship of Nicole Richie, has ended their friendship because he "feels betrayed" by Brody.

Yes, Spencer is said to be furious that Brody Jenner is spending time with LC again and says it is just so that he can be on the upcoming third season of The Hills.

This from a guy who appears in staged photos with his fake-looking fiancee every time you turn around. Good riddance, Spencer. Good man, Brody. Hope the hand feels better.

You'll have to wait at least 27 days before you can think of Hayden Panettiere nude and not be considered a complete pervert.

But you can drool over her Heroes co-star, Ali Larter, naked below.

On the show, Larter possesses unique strength and a fairly unstable personality. But this picture reveals this actress' true super power: beauty.

Wearing nothing but a sheet, the former Varsity Blues cheerleader ditches the whipped cream biking for something even hotter: nothing at all. Tila Tequila must be proud.

If you thought past Ali Larter photos were gorgeous, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Based on her recent trouble, it sounds as though Britney Spears could learn a thing or two dozen abut how to pose by taking a look at this image. It really isn't that hard, Brit.

Yesterday, we reported Britney Spears' upcoming self-arranged photo shoot and tell-all interview with OK! Magazine. Today, TMZ says that the meeting was an unmitigated disaster.

The photos are supposedly so bad, OK! execs say, that the magazine is not sure whether to report what actually happened - or sanitize the truth to protect the train wreck.

According to multiple sources, Britney Spears' behavior during the photo shoot and interview was "nothing less than a meltdown."

She was, according to sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" that to publish them may "kill her career."

Apparently, Britney Spears' eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Spears' mood, meanwhile, was extremely erratic throughout.

Britney frequently stopped the interview to take bathroom breaks, and each time she returned, her mood would change drastically.

She was also disturbingly paranoid throughout the OK! Magazine interview, fearing at one point - seriously - that the ceiling was about to cave in on her.

Britney sounds about as with it as Lindsay Lohan these days.

We've also learned that the mom of Jayden James Federline had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Brit ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. After she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a Gucci dress - worth several thousand dollars - she wore for the shoot, staining it with grease.

One of her dogs (possibly her new Terrier that the Humane Society is fired up about) also needed some assistance... in the housebreaking department.

The dog pooped all over the floor, and Britney used - what else - a Chanel dress to clean it up! This, folks, is white trash behavior even Kevin Federline would scoff at.

As for how Britney Spears looked for the photos? That's another nightmare.

Apparently OK! hired two top L.A. hair and makeup artists to transform the once-bald beauty into something more presentable, but she wasn't havin' none of that.

She refused to let the hired help touch her, opting instead for her "skanky friends" (Lucy Walsh? Alli Sims?) to do her hair and makeup. No wonder she looks so hot!!

If you're wondering where her mom or publicist or lawyer or friend or frickin' ANYONE was to help her out, TMZ says that even her cousin, Alli (who until recently was working as her personal assistant), couldn't deal, and is "done" with Britney Spears.

We'll see when OK! hits the stands this week - if they actually have the cojones to print what really happened. Odds are slightly less than Barry Bonds receiving applause from Kimberly Bell when he breaks the home run record this year.

The Lindsay Lohan drunk driving arrest wasn't the only piece of celebrity news this morning. It was just the funniest and most tragic.

But here's something that may interest game show fans: Drew Carey will replace Bob Barker as the new host of The Price Is Right.

People magazine reports the Cleveland native confirmed his new gig as the host of the CBS game show during a taping of the The Late Show with David Letterman, which aired last night.

Barker retired last month after 35 years of hosting the daytime smash, drawing a slew of replacement contenders including Rosie O'Donnell, Ian Ziering, George Hamilton and Mario Lopez.

Carey heard about the agreement minutes before appearing on stage. He had as much to say regarding it as we do about pics of Megan Fox nude. Some things just leave you speechless.

"When do you begin?" asked Letterman, to which Carey replied: "You got me... All I know is that all the deal points we wanted got settled. And I just found out, honestly."

Carey had a ten-year run on ABC with his sitcom The Drew Carey Show and was host of the improv show Whose Line is It Anyway?

We think Kevin Federline should have gotten the job.

Barry Bonds will soon be the (heavily steroid-laden) home run king of baseball.

In a few years, Alex Rodriguez will most likely take the crown from him.

But it turns out these sluggers have more in common than powerful strokes and masterful hand-eye coordination: Both their mistresses are taking advantage of their time in the spotlight.... by taking their clothes off!

By now, everyone knows about the photos of Joslyn Noel Morse nude in Playboy. While A-Rod has never admitted to the affair with this stripper, Linday Lohan hasn't admitted to being a drunken, spoiled drug addict, either. Some things are obvious.

Meanwhile, Bonds' affair with Kimberly Bell was made public knowledge last year after her grand just testimony was leaked.

In it, she talked her relationship with Bonds, which lasted from 1993 to 2003. She also said Bonds gave her $80,000 in cash to buy a house, the proceeds of which allegedly came from a paid autograph session that authorities also are investigating as going unreported to the Internal Revenue Service.

Kimberly Bell nude photos will appear in Playboy in October. This is the former mistress of steroids user, Barry Bonds.

While Bell's decision to pose naked in Playboy may help the defense make a case that this is just a woman scorned, desperate for money, we still find it hilarious.

"The opportunity was there, and I took it," Bell told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday. The photo shoot "was one of the most liberating experiences of my life."

We're guessing Amanda Beard nude could say the same.

Between the A-Rod affair, the Michael Vick dogfighting case and now this story, it really is apparent that there's no line anymore between sports news and celebrity gossip. And thank goodness for that.

Haven't gotten your fill of privileged white kids becoming famous for no other reason than for being privileged white kids? Well, then boy are you in luck!

In under a month, Laguna Beach returns… only it's no longer Laguna Beach. It essentially is, only it takes place in a different O.C. locale. Yeah, we're confused too.

In any event, Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County might offer some new scenery, but from the looks of the trailer, the plot elements are pretty much the same.

• Scheming blonde giant (cough, Brooke Hogan)? Check.
• Pretty, smart, has-it-all girl with vivacious personality (cough, Kristin Cavallari)? Check.
• Meek, kinda pathetic girl who doesn't do a lot (cough, Jessica Smith)? You got it.
• Hunky, shirtless white dudes who mumble a lot and act as foils for the much more interesting girls (cough, Jason Wahler)? Checkmate!

Say goodbye to these Laguna Beach peeps (from last season) and say hello to a whole new crop of upper-class snobby hotties from Newport Harbor! Woohoo!

The surreality unfurls in Newport Harbor on Wednesday, August 15 on MTV. The relocation to the new Orange County city is due in part to a complete network overhaul under the control of new programming chief Tony DiSanto.

Within his new rules, DiSanto has commissioned longer series of some shows and shorter ones of others. Among his moves was to virtually double the run for the hit Laguna Beach spin-off, The Hills, commissioning an 18-episode series.

We hope this puts an end to anyone who dared to defend Lindsay Lohan in the past.

Fresh out of rehab, and less than a year removed from an arrest for drunk driving, Lohan was arrested again early this morning for driving under the influence.

Those that claimed Lindsay was a victim of poor parenting (and no doubt Dina Lohan is an awful mother), or blamed celebrity news reporters for putting her under a microscope, better eat their words now. There's never an excuse for driving drunk once. Let alone twice. Let alone twice in less than a year.

The actress is constantly putting people's lives in danger, and for once we're not making a joke about the STDs she's probably given countless men (but you should probably get tested, Criss Angel).

Lindsay Lohan has earned a ticket straight to jail for her latest DUI arrest. She's a terrible human being.

According to TMZ, this despicable, spoiled princess was arrested in Santa Monica around 2:15 a.m. The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. reportedly caught her near Pico Boulevard and Main Street. Sources say narcotics were found in the car AND Lindsay was driving with a suspended license.

Just last week, Lohan was quietly booked by Beverly Hills PD for an alleged Memorial Day weekend DUI crash. She was due back in court on August 24 to face charges of driving with a blood alcohol level greater than .08 and misdemeanor hit and run.

We can only pray Lindsay receives the Paris Hilton treatment times 100. Send her to jail for a year.

Contrary to previous reports that Lauren Conrad broke his finger, Brody Jenner assures Us Weekly that the incident, while painful, was completely LC-free.

Jenner reports that while playing tackle football on the beach Thursday, his ring finger got caught in a fellow player's belt and broke.

"The bone just snapped and the tendon shot up into my wrist," Brody Jenner says. "[Lauren Conrad] had nothing to do with it breaking." 

Brody and Lauren remain close, but "just friends." 

Jenner, who says he and LC recently reconnected their once-fractured friendship but remain platonic, underwent surgery Monday to repair the tendon and is now in a cast.

Doctors have told Brody Jenner, 23, that it will take at least eight weeks for the tendon to heal. Fortunately, his life consists of being good looking, going to the hottest clubs and having a great time, so this injury shouldn't set him back too badly.

Luckily for fans of The Hills, a show source says that the entire accident was caught on tape. That will make for some good drama come September!

This just goes to show that you can't keep a good bear down! Go Gummi Bear!

Our friends at TMZ report that the rambunctious Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis entered a treatment program at Promises rehab center in Malibu.

Following a spectacular series of appearances in front of the cameras (a fight with Perez Hilton taking the cake) and hitting the club scene hard for many months, the portly oil heir has apparently decided to go clean.

Earlier this month, Gummi Bear, the BIG brother of Brandon Davis, a.k.a. Greasy Bear, reported that he's "working on a number of projects," but wasn't very specific.

Promises has been the site of various celebrity rehab dramas of late, including Lindsay Lohan and the amazing Britney Spears, among others.

A rep for Gummi Bear, who apparently has a rep (!?) had no comment.

When asked if Jason Davis had, in fact, checked in, a spokesperson for Promises would neither confirm nor deny that information.

However, later, a source told TMZ that Gummi Bear will be receiving outpatient detox treatment with daily counseling at the facility.

Here's hoping it works out a little better than whatever program Lindsay Lohan was on. Talk about throwing your money away!

You'd think Shanna Moakler would be as accustomed to breaking up with Travis Barker as celebrity gossip followers are of seeing Britney Spears crotch shots.

Still, that doesn't make it easy.

"We separated, and for me it's very disappointing," Moakler admitted while attending the HER Energy Drink Luau, a benefit for the Nicole Brown Foundation at L.A.'s Playboy Mansion on Saturday. "I consider him the love of my life."

The former Miss USA and Dancing with the Stars contestant didn't comment on the recent Amy Polumbo scandal, but she did say:"I think the demise of a marriage is like a death, and there is a mourning that goes with it. It's devastating."

Nevertheless, this is a woman with no regrets. The couple, who appeared on MTV's series Meet the Barkers, married in 2004, divorced in 2006 and reconciled briefly this year before calling it quits again in July. Like Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, it was a reality TV marriage that just wasn't meant to be.

"I know that I gave it 100 percent, and I really tried," she says. "Where it's going to go I have no idea."

Despite showing up at the skin-baring bash and fashion show at the Playboy Mansion â€" which was also attended by Denise Richards, Kim Kardashian and a bevy of bikini-clad beauties â€" Moakler is not jumping back into the dating game any time soon.

"I'm kind of getting back to myself, my work and things like that," she says. "I'm going out with my girlfriends and going to fun places like this, trying not to think about it."

Instead, besides appearing in an upcoming episode of HBO's Entourage and hosting The CW's beauty pageant reality series Crowned, she's focusing on what's best for her children: Atiana, 8 (fathered by ex-fiancé Oscar de la Hoya), Landon, 3, and Alabama, 19 months.

Barker, she says, is helping with the kids, too.

"I think, more than anything, Travis and I have the main goal of trying to be the best parents for our children that we can be. So whatever that entails, we'll definitely do 100 percent."
