Justin Timberlake isn’t going to be able to escape from Jessica Biel’s clutches so easily. Not if she has anything to say about it. And it looks like Jessica’s got back-up too! E! Online is reporting that JT’s mom is all about Jessica. Sort of. When asked what kind of girl her son should go for, Mama Timberlake replied, “The one he’s with now is awesome.” Meanwhile, JT and Jessica haven’t seen each other in a few weeks as Jessica stays busy in Canada and New York (where Jessica is allegedly participating in a Broadway workshop of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) while JT parties in LA, Las Vegas and any golf course that will have him. It seems to me like they are definitely taking some time apart, if not completely broken up, but whatever, Mama Timberlake:

Justin Timberlake was swinging solo in Sin City this weekend, but his mom, Lynn Harless, insists he’s not on the market.

When E! News asked what kind of lady she’d like to see her son with, Harless said, “The one he’s with now is awesome.”

We’re assuming she means Jessica Biel, despite the recent breakup chatter.

“He’s found someone that’ll golf with him, give him a hard time when he deserves it and stand up to him,” Lynn continued.

Justin was in Vegas to host a golf tournament and all-star benefit concert for a good cause, Shriners Hospitals for Children, featuring the likes of Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, TLC, Ciara and Jay Sean.

But he also made plenty of time for partying in Sin City—sans Jessica…

[From E! Online]

At the same time Mama Timberlake was trying to confirm their relationship, Fox 411 put up a story with a suspiciously similar pro-Jessica bent. Although this one kind of reads like it was manufactured by Jessica’s publicist. According to Fox 411’s “sources”, JT’s friends are totally mad at him for trying to break it off with Jessica. Um… seriously?

It sounds like Justin Timberlake’s friends are on Team Jessica.

Since Timberlake split from longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, his pals have been less than supportive of his move back to bachelorhood, a source close to his JT’s posse tells Fox411.

“Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him,” says the source. “They think he’s making a big mistake by dumping Jess. Justin and Jess have their problems, but all in all, his friends think she is one of the best things that ever happened to him.”

Instead of lending an ear and being there for him the way they usually are, Justin’s friends have pulled a disappearing act. The insider tells Fox411 that Timberlake was looking forward to his friends rolling with his newly single self, but instead they have basically shunned him, refusing to join in his constant partying and chatting up different women every night.

“They really thought he got past all of that,” the source says, “But it’s all beginning all over again. They think if they don’t give in he may come to his senses and get back together with Jessica. That’s what they really want to see happen.”

The source says Timberlake may be on his own for awhile. “It’s a shame his friends can’t just be there for him, but they have their opinions, and they disagree with his choice to dump Jess.”

[From Fox 411]

I’ll buy that JT’s mom likes Jessica for whatever reason (even though JT’s grandma hates Jess), but I’m not going to buy that JT has friends who are anything but “bros before hoes” types. Does anyone buy that JT has friends who are “Naw, dude, I ain’t gonna go clubbin’ witchu, ‘cause you need to call Jessica and work on yo’ relationship”? And… scene!

In Touch Weekly’s cover story this week is basically the same old crap, different day. They’re trying to convince us that Katie Holmes is “at war” with Tom Cruise over a multitude of issues, including but not limited to Scientology, raising their daughter, her parents and how Tom just won’t leave her alone for two seconds. While I buy that Tom and Katie fight (as everyone does), and that they probably fight about one or more of these issues, I don’t buy this whole “they’re at war” thing. Still, whatever. It’s an interesting read. Here are some of the highlights:

*Katie is still fighting for Suri to have a Catholic education rather than Scientology-driven education. Although we ran with the Daily Mail’s story about Suri attending a Catholic preschool (and In Touch repeats the same claim), Boston media outlets later denied the reports. Suri probably isn’t attending Catholic pre-school after all.

*There’s tension between Tom and his father-in-law Martin. One witness noted that “Tom’s face falls when he sees Martin. Martin scowls at Tom. He can’t even crack a polite smile.”

*Katie thinks Suri is “treated too much like an adult” with all of the high heels and lipstick and lack of structure. Katie wants Suri to “have a normal childhood” and “mix more with children her own age.” Katie wants to give Suri more structure. Suri doesn’t even have a set bedtime, according to In Touch.

*Katie’s parents flew to Boston because “they aren’t very happy with Tom pressuring Katie to have another baby when she’s not ready.” Her parents also worry that Katie is becoming “increasingly isolated” and “stressed out”. I would add “robotic” and “zombie-esque” into the mix as well.

*Katie’s parents wanted her to bring Suri for a long visit in Ohio, but Tom “refused to let Katie go”. Katie is also depressed because she thinks about all of the friends she lost “when Tom came into her life”.

*And yet, Tom is afraid that if he doesn’t give in to some of Katie’s “demands” he might “lose” her. Yeah, right. Not until her contract it up.

*Katie is a lot happier with her mom. In Touch notes that on a recent outing with her mother, “Katie looked light years away from the sad-looking young woman she’d become in recent weeks.”

Eh. I think some of this may be true, especially the parts about Katie’s parents. I don’t think they were ever thrilled about the idea of their little girl becoming The Bride of Xenu. In Touch also makes a small note that Tom and Martin Holmes haven’t gotten along since before Tom and Katie were even married. Apparently, it stemmed from Martin wanting Katie’s pre-nup to be a lot more generous… for when her contract expires, I guess.

It looks like yesterday’s report about Jamie Kennedy was false, according to Jamie himself. Fox News 411 ran with the continuing rumors that Jamie is cheating on girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt with his ex-girlfriend Shannon Funk. Jamie’s rep denied the initial rumors when Perez Hilton started them, but Fox News 411 had additional sources who claimed that Jennifer Jamie were pretty much done, and that he was about ten seconds away from dumping her pear ass. People obviously carried the new denial, which isn’t really that resounding. When People asked Jamie if he and Jennifer were happy, he replied “Yes.” Thundering silence. Crickets.

Is Jamie Kennedy about to pull the plug on his relationship with Jennifer Love Hewitt – and reconcile with his former flame, Shannon Funk?

While a new report suggests that Kennedy, 39 – who began dating Hewitt, 30, last winter – is no longer smitten with his Ghost Whisperer costar and is instead still hung up on Funk (a former assistant of Britney Spears), a rep for Kennedy told PEOPLE on Thursday: “There’s no truth to this report.”

And at the Oct. 3 Tao/Lavo Anniversary party in Las Vegas, Kennedy told PEOPLE, “People just keep going on [with the rumor-mongering]. We know what we are.”

So, is the couple happy? “Yes,” replied Kennedy.

In the past week alone, the couple – who denied engagement rumors in July – have been spotted together on several occasions.

On Tuesday, they had a romantic dinner in Los Angeles. A few days earlier, on Saturday, Kennedy performed at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, Calif., and brought Hewitt up on stage. A Laugh Factory rep tells PEOPLE that Kennedy announced that “his eyes had stopped roaming and that he had no plans of ruining a good thing.”

[From People]

Whatever. I bet they are still together, but I also think Jamie is totally over Jennifer’s bullsh-t. Now, I know I’ve been saying that she seems to have traded down with Jamie, but that doesn’t mean that Jennifer’s not one massive, annoying handfull. This report from Star Magazine (which, yes, could be crap, but it totally sounds like Hewitt) makes it seem like Jamie has to put up with a lot of small, dumb little things from her:

Jennifer Love Hewitt thinks that boyfriend Jamie Kennedy has great taste: She made him take the first bite of each course of her dinner at Tao’s four-year anniversary bash on Oct. 3!

“The Chilean sea bass came out, and she made him test it to see if it was too salty,” an insider says. “Then she wanted him to check if the spicy tuna roles were too spicy!”

But when dessert came around, it was everyone for themselves. “She didn’t wait for him. She dove right in!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 24 2009]

Christ, I would shoot myself in the head if I had to go out with someone like that. It would be annoying if I was friends with someone like that. “Oh, it might be salty! Taste this!” Taste it yourself, moron. Or don’t order something you think might be salty or spicy if you can’t handle it. It’s not cute. By the way, it seems like all of these stories are revolving around Jamie and Jennifer’s appearance at Tao. Where People seems to be the only source running a story about how they’re fine, everyone else is running stories about how they’re annoying each other. I really don’t think this relationship has too much life in it.

The other day I noted what I thought was a slightly bizarre report from Radar. It was about how Samantha’s LA home is up for rent after Sam rather furtively moved out while Lindsay was being a crackhead in Paris, not designing budget pasties and maybe doing an ingenious jewelry heist (which Lindsay denied a day later, by the way). I wondered if Samantha was cutting her ties for real this time with Lindsay. A day later, Lindsay posts some “desperate tweets” (Jaybird’s words) to Samantha, barely literate stuff about “her loved ones-hate her brilliance&resent her happiness” and “samantharonson deson’t respond 2me b/c her fmaily will cut her off if she contacts me…They control the one I love&im incapable of making”. Given the news about Lindsay the past few weeks, some cracked-out tweets seemed the least of her worries though. Now I’m not so sure.

Lindsay’s tweets from last night – which she promptly took down this morning but were saves by ONTD – are giving me the impression that Sam has pretty much cut Lindsay out of her life. It seemed to start out with Lindsay asking “what happened?” at Sam. Then it got disastrous. This is like the written version of Lindsay’s infamous cracked-out, weepy, hysterical, drama-queen confrontation of Sam outside of Sam’s home one night over the summer. I’m going to try to write this as one linear, cracked-out thought, so as to maintain whatever integrity Lindsay was going for.

Here we go, Lindsay in her own words: “every1 hears anything & everything about our life neway*y not give them the truth? Ur friends r happy, every1 u abide by when give in more & more to their childish, superficial antics… U TAUGHT me about our “friends” in LA, them coming b/t us, *them being PART OF our “1 on 1” relationship.. I took the biggest chance of my life w/ u & u’ve done nothing but break my heart.” Lindsay continues: “there… public enough 4 your friends & family? Let them know that you stayed w/ me in Singapore. Shame on them 4 encouraging you to lie. That’s not love.. I guess you’re right… Your family is probably right too.. Sorry for falling for you.”

She’s so coked out of her skull, I’m getting a f-cking contact high just reading this sh-t. She’s so whiney and delusional, it’s scary. She’s so self-destructive, it’s pathetic. So… Samantha totally broke it off with Lindsay, don’t you think? Samantha must have listed her reasons to Lindsay, maybe stuff about how Sam’s family and her friends think Lindsay is a crackhead mess. What I’m wondering about it the part about “Shame on them 4 encouraging you to lie.” What is Sam being encouraged to lie about? That she’s done with Lindsay or that she’s not done with Lindsay? I really don’t get it.

Several weeks ago, Perez Hilton announced that he had “impeccable sources” who claimed that Jamie Kennedy was cheating on Jennifer Love Hewitt with his ex-girlfriend Shannon Funk. Jamie’s rep denied this pretty quickly, using sort of heavy-handed language (“This is a completely fabricated story made up by a disgruntled former employee, terminated for cause.”). But now the story is getting a second life, thanks to Fox 411. An “insider” tells Fox that Jamie is “still hung up” on Shannon and that he’s “pretty much checked out of the relationship” with Jennifer. The insider also says that Jennifer pretty much knows that the relationship isn’t going anywhere, but she’s just trying to save face. Which is weird, because… she’s dating Jamie Kennedy.

Jamie Kennedy and Jennifer Love Hewitt looked like a happy couple at Tao Nightclub’s 4th anniversary party on Oct. 3, but a source close to Jamie tells FOX411 that their relationship is still in trouble from Kennedy’s rumored infidelity with his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Funk.

The insider tells FOX411 that Jamie is still in contact with Funk, who is Britney Spears’ former assistant, but that the “Ghost Whisperer” star does not know.

“Jamie is still hung up on Shannon and has been telling her that,” says the source. “He also told her he had zero desire to go to the Tao event with [Love Hewiit], but Jen insisted they go together to put rumors to rest. Jamie decided he at least owed her that, so he appeased her and accompanied her to the event even though he’s pretty much checked out of the relationship.”

It sounds like Love Hewitt is not totally in the dark, however, according to Jamie’s pal.

“Jen knows things have really changed with them, but the public appearance is all part of her damage control plan. Unfortunately for her, it doesn’t seem Jamie is going to stay with Jen ultimately.”

Time will tell…

[From Fox 411]

Damage control plan? Seriously? No offense to her, but no one’s like “oh, Jennifer, how did you screw it up with a great guy like that?” We’re all pretty much like “Yeah, you’re not that great Jennifer, but you could do a lot better than that.” I guess she’s hurting because of the blow to her ego. If a guy who is so obviously below her is ten seconds away from dumping her because he can’t stand her, than perhaps there are bigger issues involved.

Personally, I thought she should dump him ever since he started talking about her “pear ass” and started telling her to go on a diet. They both have issues.

Everyone remembers where they were when the fairytale wedding of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom took place. The day was… whatever. It doesn’t really matter, because they didn’t really get married. It was just some staged ceremony for the cameras. The real drama was behind the scenes, with lawyers for Khloe and Lamar trying to hash out a pre-nup that would protect his extensive assets (including his $33 million contract with the Lakers). Lamar and his management/legal team were said to be very protective of their client, and Lamar obviously listens to their advice. Thus, Khloe and Lamar still aren’t really married. And now Radar is reporting that the prenup negotiations are going sour, big time:

While Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian’s attorneys continue to hammer out their pre-nup agreement, sources close to the couple exclusively tell RadarOnline.com that they are growing increasingly frustrated with the Laker star because he is “listening to advisers, and a group of hanger-on friends about what the pre-nup should include. Lamar needs to man up, and stand up to these people, it doesn’t seem like they have the best interests of Lamar and Khloe as a couple at heart.”

The talks are “progressing”, a source close to the couple told RadarOnline.com, but the process could “be made a lot easier if Lamar would just put his foot down when it comes to Khloe. This is the woman that will be his wife, and Lamar will be sleeping in bed at night with Khloe, not these people.”

The insider reveals that “there is a tremendous amount of love between the two, and that will pervail in the end. It might get rocky at times, but Lamar and Khloe are very much in love.”

[From Radar]

Oh, it sounds like the “insider” is a member of the Kardashian family, doesn’t it? If I had to put money on it, I’d say the quotes came from Mother Kris. By the way, in the little unofficial pool I had going, I had their breakup by Halloween. It looks like I’ll be collecting my imaginary winnings soon enough! No, I shouldn’t gloat. Who knew this relationship wouldn’t last? Oh, right. Everyone.

Lindsay Lohan’s name has become synonymous with the phrase “cracked out tweets.” Earlier today, Lohan posted a bunch of desperate tweets to Samantha Ronson on her Twitter account. You never know if Samantha and Lindsay are broken up, hooking up, or actually back together. But Samantha’s family has made it known they consider Lindsay all sorts of crazy. Which means I consider the Ronsons to be stable, normal, reasonably intelligent people. Anyway, according to the aforementioned cracked out Tweets, it’s Samantha’s family that’s keeping Lindsay from her love, and Samantha loves Lindsay just as much as she loves her.

Any sort of difference. I’m in love with her, as she is in love with me…but her loved ones-hate her brilliance&resent her happiness

[From Lindsay Lohan's Twitter]

I love how the Ronsons are all the evil ones for looking out for their family member, which is what you’re supposed to do. Lindsay wouldn’t know that, being the product of two mentally unequipped users. But family steps up when it’s hard, and frankly from all reports Lindsay and Samantha’s relationship was dysfunctional to the point of possibly abusive. It was unlike anything I’ve ever heard of. Of course, none of this is Lindsay’s fault. And none of it is Samantha’s either, since then she’d have to acknowledge her love would rather make her family happy than make Lindsay happy. Nope, it’s all about those messed up Ronsons. I mean really, what kind of family doesn’t want Samantha hanging out with a stealing, drug abusing, emotionally unstable waste?

Really, the only positive thing that I can recall being said about Lohan in the last year is that she singlehandedly brought back the legging. And is that really a positive? Really? But it’s the only thing that’s been said about her that didn’t reference what a horrible, messed up person she is. God I hope that’s a comfort to her. I bet she recites that as she’s falling asleep at nine o’clock in the morning. “I brought back the legging… I brought back the legging… some of them have leather knee patches… I brought back the legging.” Sure she’s without the love of her life because she’s so messed up, but why examine yourself and make some changes? I mean… she brought back the legging.

Ever since people started realizing that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel might be having serious problems, or might already be broken up, the next thing that comes to most people’s minds is something along the lines of “I bet JT and Rihanna are totally doing it.” It kind of makes sense – we know from JT’s history that he moves on from relationships really quickly, and JT and Rihanna make some kind of crazy sense together. Plus, there have been rumors swirling about JT and Rihanna ever since the VMAs, when some sources had them hooking up backstage or whatever.

Even though Rihanna’s name has been consistently reported as JT’s maybe-hookup, she hasn’t taken a press hit for it. Maybe the press treats her with kid gloves after the Chris Brown incident, or maybe people are just waiting to see if it’s true. But now it looks like Rihanna might have been concerned with how it looks… to Jessica Biel. The Enquirer is reporting that Rihanna called Jessica to tell her “I’m no homewrecker.”

Rihanna secretly called Jessica Biel to say she’s not chasing Justin Timberlake, sources say.

“Rihanna doesn’t want to be pegged as a homewrecker,” a close friend says. “She loves Justin, but only as a friend.”

Justin and Rihanna are collaborating on Rihanna’s new album, and reports began to swirl that they were fooling around. But Rihanna wanted to make it clear to Jessica the stories are off-base. She had her assistant track down Jessica’s cell number from Justin’s assistant last week and got Jessica on the phone.

“Rihanna apologized over the ridiculous nonsense that’s been printed… she has been cheated on in the past, and one thing she would never do is take another woman’s guy. Sure, she and Justin are close. He’s producing her CD.”

The two women chatted and even made a tentative lunch date, said the source.

When Justin took Jessica away on a spa getaway, “he assured Jessica that he and Rihanna are nothing more than friends and collaborators… She believes him, and she was touched by Rihanna’s call.”

“Justin told Jessica he wants to be with her, but there will always be rumors about other women, and she’s got to end her jealousy,” the source said.

Sure enough, once Jessica was safely in Canada filming The A-Team, Justin was out on the town with a crew of cuties.

“Justin has done what he can to reassure Jessica and explain that he’s going to be seen with other women… As for their future? That’s in Jessica’s court now.”

[From the National Enquirer, October 18 2009]

My take on the moral of this little story is that Rihanna isn’t really attracted to Justin, and she wants people to know it. And that Justin is going to continue to act like a douche to Jessica until she dumps him. That’s pretty much it. As for the veracity of this story… eh. Part of me thinks there’s a better chance that JT and Rihanna are hooking up or have hooked up before, but I could also see how JT isn’t Rihanna’s type. As for Jessica… I don’t even know what to say about her anymore. It really looks like her epic beauty isn’t just costing her jobs, it’s costing her relationships!

In Touch Weekly has a funny story about Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. It’s all about how Tom is “showering” Katie with attention “in an attempt to hold her interest”. In other words, he’s over-stimulating his robot, and she needs to recharge. I should say this too – by almost every other report, Tom and Katie are fine and enjoying their time in Boston. While I think for a brief moment a few months back they might have been having problems, they seem pretty solid now. Katie genuinely seems happy (and not quite as zombie-like) on all of her Boston outings with Suri over the past few weeks. Anyway, here are some excerpts from IT’s story:

As their third wedding anniversary approaches in November, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are trying to make their marriage work.

While jogging together, instead of simply enjoying a leisurely run, Tom irritated Katie. “He kept turning around backwards and shouting ‘Harder! Faster!’” a witness says. “She looked resentful, but he kept doing it… Katie prefers to jog alone, and that annoys her.”

Tom worries that Katie is pulling away, and it’s causing him to go into panic mode. Tom “has been doing all he can to keep Katie happy” by pampering her with shopping sprees and massages, and even had her favorite cupcakes flown in from LA.

He also spent $50,000 remodeling one of Katie’s walk-in closets at their home in Beverly Hills. “Tom is always making an effort to be a supportive husband and to keep Katie intrigued.”

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition, October 18 2009]

Okay, there’s more to the story, but I just had to stop typing for a second because I was laughing too hard. One of the funniest sentences in the English language might be “Tom is always making an effort to be a supportive husband and to keep Katie intrigued.” Seriously? We’re going with “intrigued” as the feeling Tom wants to inspire? Mission. A-ccomplished. Perhaps next week they’ll say “to keep Katie startled” or “to keep Katie tormented and zombie-like” or “to keep Katie totally in the dark about Tom’s sex with men”.

Anyway, the rest of the story is more of the same. Tom has plans to take Katie to the Maldives for their anniversary – that’s where they honeymooned. He also wants to run the New York marathon with her. God, could you imagine living with him? He seems like a hyperactive child. Katie has also been spending more time with her family, and they “give her confidence”. Tom, IT claims, is worried because Katie has “become more assertive” and her feelings towards Tom “seem to be evolving”. Katie told Tom that she’s “not entirely happy” and that she sometimes misses her freedom. Katie is also questioning what Tom says and does, and “she doesn’t hang on his every word anymore and do whatever he wants.” Uh-oh. Why do I feel like Tom is less “worried” and more “scheduling an audit”? Break out the tin cans.

Here’s Tom filming some action scenes on the set of his upcoming film, “Wichita,” in Boston yesterday. Once a wrap was called Tom was “lovingly greeted by his two favorite girls and Katie’s parents who were also ecstatic about Toms daredevil moves!” Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

Not all that surprisingly, there’s trouble in Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson’s marriage. It’s been rumored for a long time that they’ve been having issues, most of them having to do with the fact that Ashlee completely put her life on hold to take care of their son Bronx, whereas Pete has never even slowed down. He’s still out partying and living it up just as much as always, without any consideration for his wife or son.

Now Star says Ashlee’s found proof that Pete is cheating on her. But he’s being typical loser douchebag Pete and not giving a care. And now she’s consulting divorce lawyers.

It was Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s worst nightmare come true. While rummaging around in a guest bedroom in her $4.7 million Beverly Hills home on Aug. 19, she discovered what she believed to be evidence of husband Pete Wentz cheating on her, a friend tells Star. Ashlee was so distraught that she dropped off their 9-month-old son, Bronx, at her parents’ house and checked into a hotel, even though Pete was performing with Fall Out Boy in St. Louis that night. “I can’t stand being at that house anymore,” Ashlee, 24. told her pal. “I need to clear my head. I have a lot on my plate, and my marriage is stressing me out.”

But when she called Pete to talk things out, he didn’t answer, which only enraged her. After repeatedly calling him (and getting his voicemail), Ashlee finally reached her husband – and snapped. An insider says she screamed, “Don’t even bother coming hoe! I don’t want to look at you!”

She must have struck a nerve, because that same night, Pete posted on Twitter, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. Neither does happiness,” before referring to himself as an “a–hole.” Four days later, he took a break in the band’s tour and traveled hoe to L.A. Pete Twittered about his excitement to see his son – but made no mention of his wife: “Can’t wait to see the little homie.”

As Star reported, Ashlee has long suspected her husband of getting too close to the young female musical acts he works with, Hey Monday and Millionaires and she can’t take the flirting anymore! “Ashlee doesn’t trust Pete at all,” says an insider. “They fight all the tie and sometimes don’t speak for days. Things have gotten bad. Pete doesn’t want to deal with Ashlee and her drama.”

Pete’s flirting sparked the latest public brawl between him and Ash at the one-year anniversary of his Chicago bar, Angels & Kings, on Aug. 15. Although he hadn’t seen his wife in almost a month and she’d come to town just for the day to support him, Pete, 30, quickly left Ash in the VIP area to hit the DJ booth and party with friends. After an hour and a half, she’d had enough and stormed over to her inebriated husband, says an eyewitness. “Ashlee was fumin. She yelled at Pete, ‘Enough! Let’s go!’”

[From Star, Sep. 14, 2009, print ed.]

Of course Pete, being the total wang that he is, all that matters is that he’s having the best possible time. From all the articles I’ve read about their marriage, he acts like a total douche and then tries to put it all on Ashlee for being a nag. A “nag” being someone who refuses to fully support his self-indulgent lifestyle at any point. While Pete and Ashley have admitted they didn’t plan on having Bronx, Ashlee has matured the requisite amount to be a parent. Pete has quite possibly become even less mature and more self-centered. According to Star, Ashlee’s consulting with divorce lawyers to try to figure out how custody would work and who’d get what. They don’t go into specifics about what makes her sure that Pete’s cheating, but I think she should leave him regardless. He isn’t being a husband or a partner. He’s just a guy that ambles home once in a while. He’s extreme childishness and self-centeredness is an embarrassment to all men. Ashlee can do better, and deserves someone decent enough to know what she’s worth.

Here’s Ashlee exhbibiting the famous Simpson demeanor on Late Night. Celebitchy pointed out she laughs like Fran Drescher. She also looks drunk, but again, I think that’s just ditzy Simpson mannerisms.

Here’s a super skinny looking Ashlee Simpson at Nobu 57 with her friends in NYC on Thursday night. Star also mentioned in their article that thanks to stress about Pete, 5’6 Ashlee has gone from 137 lbs to 105 lbs in just seven months. Images thanks to WENN.com and Fame Pictures .
