Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden and teen sensation Hilary Duff are said to have cut ties. Madden told girls at a club in Chicago that he’s single now after Duff broke it off with him about a week and a half ago:

Madden made a guest DJ appearance at Enclave on Wednesday night and openly talked about how he is currently single. Madden told clubgoers Duff broke up with him about ten days ago and that their eight-year age difference was causing problems. (Madden is 27, Duff is 19.)

Hilary revealed in a Jane magazine interview that not everything was well in her relationship with Joel. She said that the paparazzi help them make up during fights as they don’t want pictures taken when they’re angry:

She says, “If we’re out some place, we could totally be fighting, but we’ll be looking at each other (smiling) because there’s a camera right there.
“Then we end up forgetting we’re in a fight, because we’re laughing since it’s not a real thing to do, and we’re both such real people.”

Hilary and Joel were dating just over a year, having confirmed their relationship in the summer of 2005.

Here are pictures of Hilary in Teen Vogue, courtesy of Oh-Hilary.com. Her teeth do look a little smaller to me, but it’s hard to tell.

Everyone’s been making fun of Hilary Duff’s too-long veneers since she got them installed last year, and Gallery of the Absurd even did a an hilarious illustration of her as a horse. (Thanks Farkers for correctly my crap grammar.) Now Life and Style cites a cosmetic dentist who claims that she had her teeth shortened recently:

“The length of each veneer was a little too long, and the width of the smile was too wide,” Dr. Michael Apa, dentist to the stars and Elite Model Management consultant, says of Hil’s smile, which cost the star at least $15,000.

The work was meant to improve her smile, but “it made her look goofy, like she was bucktoothed,” Apa says.

That was until Nov. 5, when the star flashed a more familiar smile, which made her look as if she’d had a visit from the tooth fairy!

“She probably had her teeth recontoured or reshaped to fit her smile,” says Apa of Hil’s smaller, narrower smile. “Now you look at her cute smile rather than focusing on her large teeth. She looks much prettier!”

Good for Hilary. She looks a lot younger with the smaller teeth and darker hair, but that could also be due to the cute cap she’s wearing.

Thanks to Faded Youth for the story.

There’s this huge security flaw in myspace that lets you read comments on private profiles, and I’ve pretty much read all the crap that Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Hillary Duff, and Nicole Richie are saying to each other. Paris got told by her PR guy Elliott to cut it out and she was supposedly grounded from using the computer, but of course she didn’t comply and continued commenting.

This was up on Oh No They Didn’t and got a brief mention in The NY Daily News, but the ONTD post is private now and I learned about it through a friend’s e-mail.

The thing is, there’s a formula to it and it really doesn’t matter if someone changes their profile name or password. Once you know their numeric user ID it’s incredibly simple to do, and as long as they keep commenting it’s easy to find out their numeric user ID.

They seem to realize that people are reading their comments and are talking about all the new people asking to be added as friends, but they don’t really get the fact that changing their passwords and screen names doesn’t fix the problem.

I was really reluctant to report on this at first as 1) there’s way too much information to sift through and report 2) it feels wrong and 3) I don’t want to get sued. Plus I got sucked into the voyeuristic aspect of it and I wanted to be able to keep spying.

Best Week Ever has the links, though. I know this is Monday’s news but somehow it fell under my radar.

The juiciest news: Lindsay, Hilary, and Paris talk about doing banana and strawberry “Nesquick” and returning “needles” to each other. They could just be joking around. They’re also all friends with Jesse McCartney, and he could be screwing Lindsay, because he says:

But it’s just as likely that they’re joking around, and of course there’s no way to verify that it’s really Lindsay, Paris et. al, but I believe.

Paris also tells Lindsay:

And it looks like Paris is BFF with Lindsay again because she’s using an icon of the two of them together.

Here’s my favorite comment, from Haylie Duff to Jesse McCartney:

If you have any kind of logic skills you’ll quickly be able to figure out how to view anyone’s private comments using the links from the Best Week Ever post above.

Myspace will undoubtedly fix this soon, and it’s a huge security flaw. According to myspace’s user agreement everything on the site legally belongs to them, so I don’t know if any celebrity lawyers can sue for reposting information found on myspace, but if it gets widely distributed like Paris’ hacked Blackberry they’re sure to try.

Reminding us that the paparrazi photos and celebrity candids that we mindlessly publish every day are sometimes used for nefarious purposes, Hilary Duff has filed for a restraining order against a pair of crazed stalkers, one of whom has been threatening to kill himself and harm her boyfriend, Joel Madden:

Hopefully this situation will resolve itself now that Hilary has taken legal action, because that does sound terrifying.

I haven’t been keeping up with Hilary Duff, because she’s uh, generally uninteresting, (being nice, normal and non-crotch flashing and all) so when did she dye her hair this bad copper color? I’m not liking it at all.

Here is Hilary launching her new fragrance “With Love” in Costa Mesa yesterday. Pictures from Novedades de famosa via JJB.

The Duff and Simpson sisters happened to be at the same club in LA when Ashlee Simpson decided to call Hilary Duff fat. Haylie Duff defended her sister, and later talked smack to Jessica Simpson in the bathroom.

It looks like Ashlee and Haylie are the more aggressive sisters and it’s too bad there wasn’t an all-out fight between the two to report. Maybe if Haylie ran into Ashlee in the bathroom instead of Jessica there would have been more to report.

Ashlee is incredibly immature and petty but that’s not news. The Simpson’s rep is also pretty stupid if she’s giving quotes like “Ashlee thinks Hilary has perfectly lovely arms.”

Here is Jessica Simpson out with her hairdresser to watch Dean Cook’s performance at The Improv on April 15th. [via]

Update: Pictures of Hilary performing in Dublin on 4/21. Her arms do look chunky. [via]

Wonder how much they got paid just to show up. Wish my sister was famous. I’m not going to say anything about veneers or plastic surgery or that anyone has had any or needs anything done. [via]
