Brody's Back on the Market
Brody's available again, ladies.
Sources confirm to E! News that The Hills star Brody Jenner has split with his girlfriend of almost six months, model Cora Skinner. "They broke up, because they decided they're better off as friends. Brody is definitely back on the market," a source says.
So, um, should L.C. be expecting a call soon? No. "They're not getting back together at all," another source told us regarding Brody ex Lauren Conrad.
But don't worry too much for the guy. He was spotted lunching with pals on Wednesday at the Malibu Country Mart. And sitting next to him was another model, Kendhal Beal, who has worked as a Deal or No Deal briefcase babe. An eyewitness at the lunch tells us, "They definitely have a lot of chemistry."
A rep for Jenner couldn't be reached for comment.
Ashlee & Pete: Long Engagement, Tiny Kids
They've already been engaged for, like, days, so we thought we'd get the scoop on the future plans of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz.
E! News caught up with Lucy Walsh of MTV's Rock the Cradle at the Green Means Go Party in Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon. She'd talked to Ashlee and gave us some exclusive scoop about the couple's upcoming plans.
"We talked yesterday, and she is just so excited, she said they are stuck in her house," Walsh, the daughter of legendary Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, told E! "They went to her mom’s house, because there are, like, so many paparazzi everywhere. They are just stuck inside."
Stuck at home with the bride-to-be's mom, that can only mean one thing: Wedding planning. Any guesses about what the ceremony will be like?
"She comes from Texas, so I think it will have a lot of southerness to it, but I also think she will incorporate a lot of the punk rock that is her personality. So it will be somewhere in between a rave and a barbecue," says Walsh. "I am sure they will fly off to some exotic location to have it, I mean they have the money to do something like that. I know she wants to have a really long engagement. They’ve still got a lot they want to with their careers."
We know that Pete won't be designing her wedding dress, but we asked Walsh if she knew anything about the dress. "I have no idea, I think the less the better with Ash."
And we had to know: What are they like as a couple? "They are the cutest, they are tiny. They are gonna have tiny little kids, and I just think they are adorable."

Staking Out Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Big Day
The assembled media held its breath, or at least attempted to suck in its gut, as something big was going down at Jay-Z's new Tribeca apartment on Friday.
The question was what exactly: A wedding? A housewarming? A Friday night Ghost Whisperer viewing party?
Here’s what E! News has learned so far:
Found: Brad, Angelina, Super Mario
Call off the hounds. The elusive, still-unmarried Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been found.
In a videogame store in Houston.
"The whole group shopped inside Game Spot for about an hour, and they came out with armloads of stuff," an eyewitness told E! News today.
Great, but you have to wonder: If they can kick-start a media frenzy with half-assed rumors of a wedding, who needs Guitar Hero?
