Girls Next Door’s Holly Madison was chatting with one of TMZ’s videographers about the annual Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion. She said she was going to dress as Elvis and the guy running the camera dropped the hint that he wanted to get an invite to the party. Holly let it slip that she can’t change the guest list because she’s not with Hef at this point. She said “I have no pull anymore. Hef and I aren’t together, I can’t invite people.”

There will be another season of Girls Next Door, according to Holly. She said “The three of us, we’re still filming stuff together.”

This ends weeks of speculation that there was trouble brewing between Holly and aging Playboy head Hefner. She was Hef’s favorite of his three girlfriends and was long considered the most loyal. There were stories that she was having a fling with magician Criss Angel after the two were spotted getting cozy in Las Vegas, but not much seemed to have come of that. Either way, we’ve heard it straight from her now that she’s not with Hef.

There have been all sorts of stories about what’s going on with 82 year-old Hef and his triangle of much younger blonds. WWTDD reported that Hef was ending his relationships with secondary “girlfriends” Bridget Marquardt, 35, and Kendra Wilkinson, 23. Wilkinson is said to be engaged to Philadelphia Eagles football player Hank Baskett, and Marquardt supposedly has not had sex in three years although she is actively dating someone else.

Hef’s relationship with Holly, 28, was thought to be the only “real” one for him. There were rumors last week that they were having trouble due to Holly’s inability to get pregnant. Holly has spoken to the press about wanting to have a baby with Hef and to get married. The aging patriarch of Playboy recently admitted that the relationships with his arm candy women were “in transition.” It looks now like he was talking about Holly, and not just Bridget and Kendra. I wonder if Holly meant to let it slip that she’s no longer with Hef, because it seems like she’s got to keep some things quiet for the sake of the show.

The sixth season of The Girls Next Door is in the works, and there are rumors of spin-off shows for some of the women.

Ah, nostalgia. Longing for the days of yore. Lonely, melancholy nights spent dreaming of your former loves. It sounds like Playboy Playmate (and one of Hugh Hefner’s three lady loves) Kendra Wilkinson is experiencing all of these feelings as she deals with the inevitable sadness of leaving Hef’s side. Last week he admitted that the relationships are “in transition” and rumor has it that he’s definitely ending his relationship with Kendra and Bridgett. Kendra has been said to want out of the “relationship” for a long time now, and seems to be sorta repulsed by Hef.

However Kendra claims she really sad about the whole thing, and is doing her best to fake some grief.

The Girls Next Door household has been turned upside down lately, with Hugh Hefner confirming to Usmagazine.com last week that he and Holly Madison’s relationship is “in transition.”

“There are lot of changes going on … people are going through changes,” Kendra Wilkinson told Usmagazine.com at Saturday’s Karu&Y Relaunch party in Miami. “There’s a lot of rumors about me moving on, Holly moving on … it’s really sad.”

Wilkinson, 23 (who has denied reports she’s engaged), continued: “I mean, it’s only sad because Hef has to deal with it, and Hef gets really emotional because he really loves us.

“He is definitely a softie,” she added, “so it’s really sad seeing him go through this stuff.”

Lucky for 82-year-old Hef, “he keeps it cool, and he has a lot of girlfriends around now to keep him happy,” Wilkinson told Us.

Yes, I’m sure Hef really loves you guys and is in a deep, advanced state of mourning. Until some other fake boobed girl walks by… followed by nine of her closest friends. Something tells me he’ll be fine.

Kendra makes it clear that she doesn’t have any deep feelings for Hef when she says, “it’s only sad because Hef has to deal with it.” I.e. “It’s only sad for him, not for me.” Not that I’d expect her to genuinely be upset. It was her way to get some fame, and isn’t that what most of the women who date Hugh Hefner are after? Because of the show it worked out pretty well for her, but it’s clear Kendra’s got other relationships to attend to.

But I’m sure Hef appreciates her putting so much effort into her grief. If only Us Weekly had been able to add what presumably happened right afterwards, “And then Kendra yelled ‘Right on!’ pumped her fist in the air, and cart wheeled down the red carpet.”

In news that will surprise no one, Kirsten Dunst, 26, and Justin Long, 30, have ended their relationship of a scant few months, according to insiders quoted in In Touch. The two were seen out together often this summer, but Kirsten denied knowing Long in a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar. If she was with him at the point when she gave that interview, it looks like it was a wise decision to deny it.

Just two weeks after Drew Barrymore and Justin Long broke up, he was spotted getting cozy with Kirsten Dunst. But after two months of dating, Justin and Kirsten, 26, have split. “They are taking some time off for now,” reveals an insider. Kirsten, who also dated Fabrizio Moretti, another of Drew’s exes, ended the relationship. Still, the insider insists that there is no bad blood between the two: “Kirsten gets bored really easily and she needs a break from men right now. They are still both friends and will hang out.” Meanwhile, a rep for Justin says that he and Kirsten have always just been friends.

[From In Touch]

Kirsten is said to have been in a minor awkward run-in with Justin’s other ex, Drew Barrymore, backstage at Saturday Night Live over the weekend. The two ran into each other and gave each other the evil eye or something - it’s unclear in reports - before they were separated by James Franco.

Kirsten has been looking a lot happier in recent candids and I hope she’s in a better place in her life despite the fact that I general have a pretty high level of indifference for her. She seemed to be changing to the level where she was nearly tolerable. I hope this breakup, if it’s true, doesn’t make her backtrack to her surly ways.
From the look of these candids, taken Saturday in NY’s East Village, she should be fine. She may have even scored another guy.

Natalie Portman and the hottie hiding under the long hair and beard she was dating, Devendra Banhart, 27, have broken up. In Touch reports the news and says they first started dating in March when Natalie appeared in a music video for Devendra. Natalie, 27 moved to LA to be near Devendra, but according to In Touch it wasn’t to be:

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Natalie Portman has split with her boyfriend, musician Devendra Banhart. “Yes, they have broken up,” a source close to Devendra tells In Touch. The couple met and fell in love while the actress, 27, filmed a role in Devendra’s music video, “Carmensita,” in March. Natalie, a native New Yorker, even moved to LA to be closer to the folk singer, 27. A friend of Devendra’s says, “Natalie and Devendra will remain friends but need some space and time away.”

[From In Touch]

It’s too bad that they didn’t work out. Natalie is young but at 27 she may be thinking about marriage and family and it’s possible Devendra wasn’t at that point yet. She’s a rare type of celebrity who seems both educated and grounded. She also manages to keep her private life under wraps. I was going to say “Natalie will find the right guy and settle down,” but then I realized how patronizing that sounds and how it’s not the ultimate goal of womankind to pair up. Most of us would be happy to reach even a small portion of Portman’s success.

Rumors are flying yet again that Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have split, but that’s not really new news. In Touch is reporting the two are over and haven’t been seen together since July 14 in LA, but New York magazine reports they have been seen together and alone around New York City. These two break up and make up more often than they change their socks.

Everything Leo does is tabloid fodder, and here is a round-up of Leo stories from the weeklies. The stories range from probably exaggerated to downright unbelievable, so take these with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg.

If Bar really is Leo’s ex-arm candy, maybe it’s because he’s been partying up a storm with college girls. The September 15 print edition of In Touch says Leo was spotted at Coco de Ville in LA on August 26, “partying with the hot USC sorority girls all night,” according to an onlooker. “He poured the cocktails, was flirting with them, and even paid for the entire bill….He enjoyed every minute of the attention.”

An insider says this wasn’t Leo’s first meeting with the coeds. They first met at The Bank at Bellagio in Las Vegas on August 15.

But being a horndog doesn’t mean Leo’s not a nice guy. National Enquirer’s gossip guru Mike Walker reports in the September 15 print edition that while walking down the street in Manhattan, Leo helped an inexperienced and lost cabbie. The taxi driver had pulled over to ask directions, but the man he asked was giving him bogus information. A witness says Leo overheard the conversation and told the prankster, “You’re giving this guy wrong directions!” and gave the grateful cabbie the correct info.

Leo also helped a woman who couldn’t afford gas for her SUV. While famously eco-friendly Leo was driving his hybrid with (apparently on at the time) girlfriend Bar Refaeli, he pulled into a gas station.

[Leo] noticed a woman with five kids in her SUV getting teary-eyed as she filled her tank and watched the meter climb past $100. ‘Oh my God, look at this, I can’t afford these gas prices anymore,’” she wailed.

[From National Enquirer, print edition, September 15, 2008]

Instead of lecturing the woman on driving a gas-guzzler, Leo told the gas station attendant to put the woman’s gas bill on his credit card. When the woman found out that he had paid for her, she chased after him to thank him, but didn’t recognize him. She said, “You know, you look so familiar to me, but I just can’t place your face.” Leo’s response? “Have a nice day.”

Note by Celebitchy: This “Leo pays for woman’s gas” story sounds way too close to a story that was making the rounds about a good samaritan who paid for a destitute woman’s gas and bought her kids McDonalds afterwards. Both of the stories Sammie is quoting about Leo’s good deeds come from Mike Walker’s column in the National Enquirer. As much as the Enquirer is accurate and has a lot of scoops, Walker seems to have unverifiable hero stories about celebrities just about every week.

Mega hit producer Mark Ronson, 33, and his girlfriend, model Daisy Lowe, 19, have split up. Well known in their native England, the attractive couple was often photographed at events and concerts together. Ronson is the brother of Lindsay Lohan’s girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson, and is the producer who helped springboard the careers of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen. He also has a successful music career in his own right and has won several Grammys and a Brit awards. Daisy Lowe is the daughter of Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale, although she didn’t find out her father’s identity until a paternity test revealed the news when she was 15.

The two made their first public appearance together in April of this year. They’re said to have broken up because Ronson is ready to settle down but 14 years younger Lowe isn’t, and has relocated to NY for her career.

Superstar DJ Mark Ronson, the pop guru behind Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, has split from his girlfriend, Agent Provocateur model Daisy Lowe – with friends blaming the 14-year age gap between them.

The sudden split follows a heated argument four days ago….

But a source said: ‘Mark is not coming to London. He and Daisy had a row over something small which escalated into something rather big.

‘Daisy got very upset and shot at Mark that she was leaving him. He completely surprised her by saying, “Fine, leave.” That was it. They haven’t spoken since the argument.

‘She has said it’s over and that the age difference was a big deal. She comes over as being very mature for her years and incredibly sophisticated but at heart she’s still a little girl who’s not ready to settle down.’

Daisy had moved to New York to pursue her career. The source added: ‘She has quite a few friends in New York and she’s deciding what to do about her future. Her career is going from strength to strength and she’s not sure if she’s ready to leave New York but she is adamant things are over with Mark for the time being.’

The couple were together just last week at Ronson’s 33rd birthday party at Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire.

Daisy was introduced to his family, who had flown over from New York, and told one partygoer: ‘I feel like a Ronson now. I’ve been playing with the nieces and nephews and being polite to Mark’s mum. I’m exhausted.’

But friends say Daisy is reluctant to settle down at such a young age.

A source said: ‘Despite his party-boy image, Mark’s quite serious and just wants to meet the right girl and settle down. That was an issue for Daisy, who is still quite young at heart.

[From The Daily Mail]

I really liked these two as a couple and they seemed pretty stable. Lowe even made some nice statements in July about Mark’s sister Sam’s relationship, saying that she had met Lindsay Lohan and that they “their relationship is totally genuine. And they’re just so sweet together.” The same could be said of Ronson and Lowe, but it just wasn’t meant to be. We’ll have to see if this is true and if they stay split.

The good news is that Mark Ronson is probably single now.

Singer and mother of two Sarah McLachlan, 40, is splitting up with her husband of 11 years, Ashwin Sood, who also happens to be the drummer in her band. Sarah and Ashwin have two children together, daughters India Ann Sushil, six, and Taja Summer, one. McLachlan told Billboard that she’s going through the separation characterizing it as “pretty gross,” and said there are two new songs on her upcoming greatest hits album, due out October 7, which are about the problems in her relationship:

Sarah McLachlan not only announces that she and her husband of 11 years are splitting, but also takes the opportunity to plug two songs about the tumultuous times.

“U Want Me 2″ and “Don’t Give Up on Us” both appear on her upcoming greatest hits album “Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan,” which comes out Oct. 7 via Arista Records in both a single-disc version and a two-CD deluxe package.

“I’m separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that,” McLachlan, 40, told Billboard.com.

McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood, who plays drums in her band, reside in Vancouver. They have two daughters, six-year-old India Ann Sushil and Taja Summer, 14 months.

“I wasn’t planning on saying anything,” McLachlan added, “but it’s gonna come out at some point. I haven’t said anything about it because I’ve been terrified to, but I figure … there’s no good time to say it, so I just said it.”

McLachlan called the situation “pretty gross” but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple’s future plans.

She described “U Want Me 2″ as “about that really uncertain, confusing place at the end of a relationship when there’s no communication or closure, everything’s still up in the air and there’s a lot of anger and sadness. It’s sort of that working through ‘How do we move forward … with some dignity and grace.”

“Don’t Give Up,” she said, is “pretty self-explanatory, basically just a plea to give it another chance and keep trying.”

You can hardly blame her if her husband did something unforgivable. It sounds like he may have cheated to me, but who knows. The lyrics to “U Want Me 2″ just make it sound like they drifted apart and/or didn’t get along.

It was widely assumed that People Magazine’s exclusive ongoing stories about singer Shania Twain’s husband’s affair were fed to the magazine by the singer. They just seemed to be certain about the details and were publishing personal photos that could have come from Shania herself. McLachlan is getting the word out through her songs instead of dishing to a magazine. It’s more honest if not as clear cut on the details.

You can watch the video for “U Want Me 2″ on Amazon.com’s page for McLachlan.

Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, is said to be fuming at reports that came out in the National Enquirer last week that Casey was cheating on her with multiple other women even after their daughter little Maddie was born in June. After hearing the allegations of his affairs, Jamie Lynn told Casey to get all this crap out of the house they’ve been sharing in Liberty, Mississippi and has called off their planned wedding:

Just a week after The Enquirer’s blockbuster interview with one of her fiance’s lovers, teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears has kicked Casey Aldridge to the curb for good!

“Jamie Lynn told Casey to ‘Get out!’ and remove all his belonging from their house,” revealed a source.

The young couple had been living in a three-bedroom home on five acres that Jamie Lynn bought in Liberty, Miss., where she and Casey planned to raise their new baby daughter, Maddie Briann.

“But there’ll be no happily ever after for Jamie Lynn and Casey,” continued the source. “Their planned marriage is now out of the question. Jamie Lynn is determined to raise Maddie Briann by herself.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 15, 2008]

That’s pretty much what people expected after hearing that story from the second woman to speak to the tabloids about an affair with Jamie Lynn’s fiance. Casey Aldridge is 18 years old and is obviously not ready to settle down. The first woman who spoke out about an affair may have been doing it for the money or fleeting glimpse at fame, but the second kind of makes it seem like he has a pattern of hound-dogging.

To add an interesting twist to this story is the fact that Casey Aldridge is said to be calling up Kevin Federline and asking for advice. It’s not for a father-to-father chat, though, he wants custody of Maddie and needs to figure out how K-Fed did it with his two kids with Britney, Jamie Lynn’s older sister:

“Casey has been talking with Kevin Federline, seeking his advice and strategy on how he fought and won custody of his two kids with Britney,” said the source.

“Kevin tells Casey to be strong and not let the Spears family cut him off from his child. Unless Jamie Lynn and Casey reconcile at some later time, it is easy to see how this is going to play out - in a huge fight over joint custody.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 15, 2008]

Jamie Lynn and Britney’s situations are entirely different and if she does permanently split with Casey he’s not likely to get more than visitation rights with his daughter. Jamie Lynn is now said to be ignoring Casey’s attempts to contact her. The insider is quoted as saying “She’s finally done with him and isn’t taking his calls. She only text messages him if there’s something to tell him about the baby.” That seems like the best course of action in this case, and Jamie Lynn probably would have made a huge mistake if she ended up marrying the guy.

Well John Mayer is back to his manwhoring ways. Not that anyone’s surprised – the only shocking part of the revelation was that it took him so long. Okay in all honesty Mayer probably waited all of half an hour to boink a new chick after he and Jennifer Aniston broke up. And it was only that long because he had to stop to fill up his gas tank and grab some Doritos. Nothing helps you out with the ladies like a guitar and some nacho cheese breath.

But In Touch is officially (as in “stop the presses!” officially) reporting that Mayer drunkenly hooked up with a cocktail waitress last night – and he also claimed he didn’t want to have the number one song on the charts.

While he may have started a whirlwind romance in Miami with Jennifer Aniston a few months ago, John Mayer ended his two-month world tour by partying with a different blonde in, yep, Miami. (This time around, the blonde was a cocktail waitress, not an A-list actress.) The singer was as talkative as ever on-stage, admitting, “We’re all drunk. Only on-stage can you openly drink on your last night.”

He then went on about the downsides of fame: “I don’t want to have the number-one song. I want to be number eight. It’s a much better place to be. Because as soon as you become fashion… you get crushed.” And though he didn’t mention his ex Jennifer he did say at one point, “I had a conversation recently and a lot of tears were exchanged.” Post-show, John went to the club SET on South Beach with his waitress, where they stayed until about 3 a.m.

[From In Touch]

So it’s pretty clear where In Touch’s loyalty lies. And if you’re unclear, click the link to the article, and then take note of the article’s address. What an unfortunate (and I’m sure accidental) place to cut off the title: “John Mayer ends tour with cock.” I’m sure it’s just some requirement of their technical programming.

I love John’s great quotes from the night. “Only on-stage can you openly drink on your last night.” I think he meant “Only on your last night can you openly drink on-stage.” But I could see how all the drunkenness might make the technicalities of that complex sentence a little tough to get out. And then the thing about wanting to be number eight instead of number one.

That’s like when I claim I don’t want to be thin, and it’s really much healthier to be chubby. No one believes it, you’re just trying to convince yourself. We’d all like to weigh 20 pounds less and have a number one Billboard single. It’s a universal truth. But when you can’t have that, might as well settle for nailing a cocktail waitress.

Hey, ladies- great news! Michael Bolton is now available. Daydream about that over your morning coffee. The 90’s singer and his on-again, off-again fiancee, actress Nicollette Sheridan, have called things off once again. Commence singing “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” now.

Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton are again going their separate ways, a rep for the actress tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton have amicably ended their engagement,” said Nicole Perna. “They appreciate your respect for their privacy in this matter.”

The couple’s relationship originally started in 1992, and lasted for five years.

The musician, now 55, and the Desperate Housewives star, 44, then resumed seeing one another in 2005 – and in March 2006 had announced their wedding engagement.

[From People]

What happened? Maybe Nicollette woke up one day and realized she was marrying the same man who wrote such embarrassments “We’re Not Making Love Anymore,” and “Time Love and Tenderness,” while cashing in on such diabolical remakes as “Sitting on the Dock of a Bay” and “When a Man Loves a Woman.” Or maybe Michael decided to start growing back his mullet again. Either way, I think we’ve been spared some really painful wedding footage of Michael serenading his bride, who would probably be dressed in something short, shiny and cheap looking.
