The best in gossip and wry observation!
Date published: 8/12/2004

Cryin' for Ryan

Last week on a radio show, Ryan Cabrera revealed that he and Ashlee Simpson broke up--we sure didn't see that one coming.

For the three of you out there who didn't follow the Ashlee Simpson Show, Ryan is the spiky-haired crooner/Ashlee's rebound, who just so happens to be managed by Joe Simpson, Ashlee's father.

The hookup went something like this: "Hey Ashlee, I heard you got your own show on MTV. That's awesomeyeah, my music career really sucks right now--nobody knows who I am. Hey, you wanna go out with me? Make sure you bring the camera crew."

Open-door policy

Important message for all rich people, especially those with "heiress" in their title: LOCK YOUR FRONT DOOR!

Paris Hilton's Hollywood crib was ransacked last week and "like everything" was stolen. Paris shares the home with her sister Nicky, and according to the New York Daily News, computers, jewelry and hundreds of thousands of dollars were stolen.

It's called a bank--they're pretty tricky to use but once you get the hang of it, it's a total breeze.

Also stolen were pictures and videos of her and ex, Nick CarterI smell a sequel. Friends say that it's not a surprise the sisters were burglarized--they rarely lock their front door. In fact, after an interview with the press outside of the home, Paris sped off with friendsleaving her front door wide open.

G.O.P. to Rock?

It's election year, and nothing makes a campaign more fashionable than tapping famous celebrities for support. Kerry's got Michelle Branch and Andre 3000, and according to Popdirt, the Republican National Convention is trying to gather support from Kid Rock and Britney Spears.

Kid Rock and Britney, huh? Interesting. I'm sorry, I was under the impression that the Republicans wanted to win the election. And who taps Britney for anything? You might as well have gone for Anna Nicole Smithat least that would be entertaining.

Wrap it up

Tidbits: Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are rumored to be setting the date for their upcoming nuptials, according to US Weekly.

And MSN reports that California Governor Arnold Schwhatshisface admitted he was abused as a child: His parents used to spank him.

News flash, Arnold: This happened to your entire generation. It's called tough love. And look how well you turned out; you're a governor--I think that warrants a big "thank-you" to the 'rents.
