Granted, we had never heard some of these rumors. But The Hills' Audrina Patridge is nonetheless working hard to clear them up and clear her name!

Witness the following clarifications from Audrina's MySpace:

I have been getting alot of questions about the rumors in all the celebrity gossip and trash mags and on the internet ..............

1. Lauren Conrad and I have never had plastic surgery!
2. I am not ditching Lauren for [Heidi Montag] .... if i see her out we acknowledge each other but no were not besties! it is none of my business with what is going on between them and i stay out of it! --- i'm not focused on others business, i have enough of my own personal drama
3. Lauren and i still live together and are friends
4. No i never went to [Spencer Pratt's] condo... (LOL)
5. And yes i go to OC alot to help my pregnant sister its not bc i'm sick of Lauren and she's difficult to live with!!! .....
6. No Whitney Port is not leaving our show she is one of our main girls in show!

Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge are still close, Audrina says.

there are soooo many false rumors it makes us laugh!!!! ..... but thats what keeps everyone on their toes and interested!...... hope these cleared up a few things!

Maybe breaking down in tears wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shook off doubts that her campaign was on the verge of collapse by pulling out a somewhat surprising, narrow win over Barack Obama in yesterday's New Hampshire primary.

Not to worry, though. Hillary Clinton is still insane. See below.

  "OMG!!!! We won!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Mariah Carey says reports that she would prefer to sing a duet with a pig instead of Jennifer Lopez are "a complete untruth."

To the chagrin of those hoping for a Carey/J. Lo showdown - with Babe or Porky as the referee - the singing diva claims she never made this statement and has no beef with Mrs. Marc Anthony.

"This is just some [celebrity gossip] and it's pathetic that people actually entertain the thought that this could be real," Carey said. "This is another sad example of two strong women being pit against each other."

Cheers to big breasts and spoiled attitudes!

James Gandolfini has made Deborah Lin an offer she can't refuse.

The Sopranos star and his longtime girlfriend are engaged, a source confirms. We wish this pair the best.

"James popped the question while in the Bahamas over the holidays," an insider said. "They're thrilled."

Now that Gandolfini and Lin are set to tie the knot, which celebrity couple will be next to get engaged? Might it be Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush?

In between sexual conquests of random men in Italy, Lindsay Lohan might wanna place a call to her lawyer.

After all, the woman who was allegedly chased by Lohan during her well-publicized DUI arrest last July claims she's racked up a big shrink bill to recover from the situation.

Tracie Rice has sued Lohan, claiming the actress terrorized her in a wild chase in Santa Monica.

Put on some clothes, Lindsay Lohan, you've got a lawsuit to fight.

The victim, who called 911 during the pursuit, has filed legal papers alleging she's already spent $3,500 in therapist bills, $400 on a medical doctor and two grand in miscellaneous expenses.

Rice also says she's lost her job as a result of the incident.

Rumors of a Tony Parker affair with likely liar Alexandra Paressant are finally dying down.

But will chatter about a hook up with Jessica Alba now be heating up?

Probably not.

But the duo is seen here embracing before a recent San Antonio Spurs game. Granted, Cash Warren is probably seated behind Alba; and Eva Longoria is probably cheering on Parker from the stands, as well.

But what kind of celebrity gossip site would we be if we didn't comment on this hug and try to stir the dating pot a little?

Try to contain yourself as you read this riveting Britney Spears news.

The photographer who gave Spears a lift home after she abandoned her car on the road with a flat tire Monday has detailed their brief ride together, saying the struggling pop star spent most of the ride sending text messages.

"She broke out her cell phone and was sending text messages the entire time," said the man, who works for celebrity photo / news agency X17.

He also says the singer put on Timbaland's hit album "Shock Value," but got awfully quiet when asked about spending time with Adnan Ghalib.

Britney also invited the photographer inside once they reached her house.

Britney Spears and her assistant, Carla, go cruisin' in Carla's Camry.

At one point during the ride, the photographer snapped his fingers and said to Britney Spears: "Hey, girl, are you alright?" then told her not to worry. Spears' reaction? She laughed, according to the dude's account.

Inside her (reportedly immaculately clean) home, she told the man "don't be lame" when he asked permission to snap some Britney Spears photos.

Later Monday night, Spears and her assistant, Carla, ventured back out in Carla's ride and had dinner in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Then they stayed the night at the nearby Peninsula Hotel.

*Yawn* More meltdowns and no underwear pics, Britney!

Celebrity gossip sources say Paris Hilton may be going the route of Tila Tequila.

The socialite showed up last night at the Hollywood premiere of the fifth season of Showtime's The L Word.

According to a source, "Paris wants to be on the show," which was only the beginning of rumors that claim Hilton is now into girl-on-girl action.

Hilton was sporting a black and tan mini-dress, black stockings and heels topped off with a black wig and hat. An outfit that looked, well, masculine.

Is Paris Hilton dating Katherine Moennig? And who the heck is Katherine Moennig?

Meanwhile, Paris and Katherine Moennig reportedly danced the night away together, threw back a few shots, smoked a few cigarettes and continuously whispered in each other's ears before making an exit.

Insiders say the pair were bound for lesbian night at the Falcon restaurant, with a source there saying: "Paris and Kate were here holding hands."

By their fruits - or at least their cahoots - ye shall know them as Tonica.

Tonica, as in Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, according to a new Sporting News football column. Tonica, as in a more scrutinized and entertaining, if slightly less beautiful, couple than Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.

Tonica, as in the single organism that threatens to devour the Super Bowl dreams of the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps you've heard that Romo and Simpson - with some of his Cowboys teammates - vacationed in Mexico last week.

If you're a Cowboys fan, that means you'll be subjected all week to deathly serious speculation that Tonica's powers of distraction are too potent for the QB to complete the task at hand - beating the rival Giants Sunday.

Is Jessica Simpson a distraction for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo?

Dallas has been the better of the two teams all year, but lately, celebrity gossip mongers have hit the TV and radio airwaves and the blogosphere to forge a link between Simpson and Romo - and any of the Cowboys' imperfections.

The strains of angst rose up at Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve and now this week, resuscitating talk that Romo fumbled away last year's playoff game because of another celebrity girlfriend - Carrie Underwood - on hand.

Even star teammate Terrell Owens got in on the act after the Cowboys' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last month - a game attended by Simpson that was, wouldn't you know it, the worst statistical game of Tony Romo's career.

"Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite in this locker room," Terrell Owens joked. "I think a lot of people feel like she's taking his focus away."

Can Tony Romo keep his focus? Or is this oversexed QB destined to implode Sunday? Wouldn't it be good to be Matt Leinart and focus only on partying?
