Brody Jenner

Yesterday, T.H. Gossip showed you Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner out and about, having just enjoyed a delicious meal at a trendy L.A. cafe. Today, we bring you... the exact same thing! Only this time, Lionel Richie's daughter and Bruce Jenner's son (who is also Kristin Cavallari's ex) got take-out. See below.

We personally think Brody eats Nicole's dinner (perhaps followed by some other things, if you know what we are talking about) after they get home from these dates. While we will never know for sure what goes on behind closed doors, we're certain that it involves a lot of deep, scintillating conversation.

Seriously, though -- she is so thin! Geez, it's like we're looking at Kate Bosworth over here. Someone get these girls some professional help... or at least a pizza.

Emaciated she-goblin Nicole Richie and way-too-good-looking "pal" Brody Jenner (right) topped off their worthless morning with a meal at Malibu's Marmalade Café on Thursday. We bet Brody enjoyed this filling meal. Nicole's dad, Lionel Richie (left) meanwhile, took the mic recently at Festivalbar in Verona, Italy.

The legendary R&B singer has not only returned to the stage, but put his domestic life on center stage recently, giving a 20/20 interview in which he talked about his career but also discussed his concern for Nicole's loss of weight.

The loving father says he's confident she has it under control, however, and added that he approves of Nicole and Brody. The Richies and Jenners are longtime family friends.

The budding romance between Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner may look like a typical, quickie Hollywood rebound affair that's destined to crash and burn, but don't be fooled: The pair go way back. He even predates Paris Hilton.

"I was there when (Brody) was born!" Lionel Richie, Nicole's dad, and a longtime friend of Jenner's parents, tells People. "They grew up together. To see them together now is like, ‘Where are you going with this?' But they're having a wonderful time."

Just three months after splitting up with ex-fiancé DJ AM (for the second time), Richie, 24, has been cozying up with the 23-year-old Jenner.

Jenner recently ended a high-profile relationship of his own, breaking things off with sizzling Laguna Beach alumna Kristin Cavallari.

From lunch at Hollywood's La Conversation Café (a Nicole fave) last week, to dinner at Mr. Chow, to an A-list birthday bash in Hollywood, the two are getting along famously, dishes a source who knows Richie and Jenner.

"They are a very normal couple and Brody is a decent, nice, down-to-earth guy. Even though it's relatively new, it seems like they've been together forever," the source said.

Or, at least it's new since the '80s, when the pals often played at one another's houses. Jenner's mom, Linda Thompson, remembers it fondly â€" and approves of the current romance.

"(Nicole) is like my godchild. … She's a darling girl, very intelligent and very together. I think they're very cute (as a couple). Will they get married? Who knows? He's young and so is she," said Brody's mom.

But does Jenner get the all-important dad stamp of approval?

"Oh, yeah," says Lionel. "He's a great kid."

Is Brody Jenner single? The Gossip may not know for sure, since his status appears to change every 12 hours, but we're doing some investigating. In the image below, taken Tuesday, Jenner and his newfound friend/companion, Nicole Richie, head to Hollywood club Privilege to celebrate Brody's 23rd birthday.

If you look closely, however, you'll see that the person holding Brody's hand is not Nicole, but perhaps the most important woman in his life â€" his mother, Linda.

Meanwhile, Jenner's ex-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari, who tells People that despite their recent breakup, the two are "still good friends" â€" arrived at club Privilege to join her onetime Prince Charming's birthday bash. For all we know, Kristin and Broday will be back together next week. Regardless, it's nice that the former Laguna Beach star is in good spirits.

It's rumored that Nick Lachey, who was romantically linked to Kristin after his infamous split from wife Jessica Simpson, was also in attendance.

It's like deja vu all over again. Maybe. Following the love lives of Brody Jenner and Kristin Cavallari has been a difficult task of late, but someone's gotta do it. You can thank us later. Apparently, TMZ reports, their recent split wasn't too traumatic... if they've even split at all. The two were spotted last night heading into a club, Hyde, together.

After the lovely Kristin made a mad dash through photographers and fans outside, Jenner walked up and was bombarded with questions about their relationship. His response?

"No, we're just friends."

Kristin and Brody announced their split two weeks ago and both have since been spotted partying solo all over L.A. Jenner has been seen kicking it with Nicole Richie and hopping into a car with Paris Hilton, seemingly loving the single life. God knows how he could, hanging out with those two skanks, but to each his own. Meanwhile, Cavallari, who told TMZ that her life since the split was "fantastic," is apparently feeling similarly.

We'll keep you posted on this story as it develops. In the meantime, here is a picture of Kristin from when she guest starred on Veronica Mars.

We understand that once you've dated Kristin Cavallari, there's nowhere to go but down. But it appears that Brody Jenner has sunk to ridiculous depths. The son of the former Olympian was spotted with the revolting lovely Nicole Richie. Which is no small feat, given that she's practically two-dimensional. You all know what we're talking about. Just look at the results of our poll, people.

At least B.J. was smart enough to meet her at an espresso bar. That stuff's like liquid crack, which Nicole probably prefers to actual food! Yes. We went there!

Brody Jenner says he's not sure how he feels about being single, and since he's only held that status for a day or so, we suppose that's understandable.

Then again, the guy used to date Kristin Cavallari (below), and now does not. So he's gotta be at least a little let down. I mean, look at the pic below. Where do you really go after that?

In any case, TMZ.com caught up with Brody Thursday, outside a Hollywood hot spot, and asked him how he is liking the single life. The two were reportedly back together as recently as late July, but Jenner confirmed to TMZ that they're done. The trucker-hat wearing stud insists that Kristin is "a great girl," the break-up is "private," and he's still not sure how he feels.

Jenner declined to comment on whether he will now pursue Lauren Conrad, Kristin's former high school classmate, Laguna Beach star and sworn enemy. We should note that he was never asked said question, but it sure would be some Gossip worthy material if he had been!

With their respective boyfriends, that is. Although the former Laguna Beach stars, whose ongoing feud is well-documented, have definitely broken up numerous times, in a manner of speaking. We're saying there's no love lost between the Cali cuties!

In any case, Kristin Cavallari (right) has split with boyfriend Brody Jenner, People magazine confirms, while Lauren Conrad (below) has ended things with Jason Wahler, her beau on both Laguna Beach and The Hills, according to Teen People.

"Yes, Brody and I broke up. It's just hard right now because I am working all the time. We're still good friends though," Cavallari, 19, said.

The off-and-on couple, who met through Laguna Beach co-star Talan Torriero, originally broke up in the fall, but got back together shortly after.

In between spending time with Jenner, 22, Cavallari was spotted several times with rebound-tang crazed Nick Lachey, but friends say it was never anything serious. Cavallari described her romance with Jenner, the son of Olympian Bruce Jenner and a Guess model, as her first mature relationship.

"He's good-looking and he makes me laugh for hours," she told Teen People.

Cavallari, whose fame has rocketed since the second season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, recently wrapped her film Fingerprints, and is now shooting Spring Breakdown. Both are slated for release next year.

Meanwhile, Lauren "LC" Conrad, 19, confirms she is no longer with Jason â€" even after she made the dubious decision to stay in California with him, rather than take an internship in Paris, on the season finale of The Hills.

On Laguna Beach, LC ended things with Jason, 20, after catching him kissing his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Smith, 18.

But for some reason, the two got back together shortly thereafter, and he was a regular presence on The Hills, her Laguna spin-off.

Lauren's younger sister, Breanna Conrad, 16, heads up an all-new cast of Laguna Beach, which makes its premiere August 16 on MTV.

If history is any indication, the much-anticipated Season 3 should provide tons of drama, some scandalous hooking up, underage drinking, a lot of gossip and ample hanging out at the beach.

Kristin Cavallari and boyfriend Brody Jenner are ready to lay some rumors to rest. After a rough split a couple months back, TMZ.com reports that the two have gotten back together, and have been seen hand-on-ass… er, hand-in-hand.

While she's all smiles these days, Cavallari admits the media attention put on the split (and her rumored hook ups with Nick Lachey, among others) was daunting.

"It's hard reading about it, your ex-boyfriend hanging out or hooking up with these other girls, it's just like a stab in the back. I read that I was dating Joaquin Phoenix and I've never even met him," she said.

Jenner says he initiated the reconciliation while Cavallari was shooting a film in Oklahoma. His recollection:

"While she was on set I was thinking about her… I hadn't talked to her, we ended on very sour terms, I just kind of got over it, sucked it all up and texted her ‘I love you' … her text message back was ‘beep you!'"

Safe to say, that wasn't the response he was looking for. But, unlike Kristin's feud with Lauren Conrad on last season's Laguna Beach, this ended well. The hottie and her beau have certainly worked out their differences since then.

Many thanks to TMZ.com capturing this image of Kristin Cavallari locking lips - among other things - in Malibu on July 4 with boyfriend, Brody Jenner. Watch that hand, mister ...
