Mario Lopez has nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to his body.

But even he has his limits.

The former Dancing With the Stars contestant told me Playgirl has come calling. “I politely declined,” he said with a laugh. “It’s not something for me at the moment. But it’s ironic, because I’m, like, ‘nature boy.’ I’m always running around the house in underwear or nothing.”

Lopez didn’t invite me to hang at his place, but no matter. Just check out his new book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness.

The breakup buzz keeps getting louder for Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. But her camp is shooting down the split rumors.

“Not true, not true,” Simpson’s rep tells me. “I spoke to Jess yesterday and the day before. They are still together.”

And while Romo spent the weekend in Chicago, sans Jess, expect a reunion any minute now: The quarterback will be Simpson’s date when little sister Ashlee marries Pete Wentz this weekend, a source tells me.

But what about those photos that hit the Web today of Romo partying in the Windy City with a mystery blonde?

There was no hanky-panky, another source tells me. In fact, the source reports, the young woman has a serious boyfriend: “She’s a doll and they did have fun at the club, but nothing happened with Tony!”

Janet Jackson was at last night’s opening of Alexander McQueen’s new store in Los Angeles. So were Balthazar Getty, Eve, Anthony Kiedis, Ioan Gruffudd and Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis.

But the spotlight was definitely centered on Beth Ditto and her band, Gossip.

The singer's five-song set was hands-in-the-air fun! She wore custom McQueen: a form-hugging red sequined bodysuit (later changing into a rainbow colored butterfly-printed chiffon number); she swiped cigarettes from fans so she could smoke while singing; she grabbed a photographer’s camera to take some pics and even climbed on top of a very unsteady table to rally the crowd to sing along with her.

But even the 27-year-old has her limits...

Sarah Jessica Parker jetted to England a couple of days ago for the start of an almost two-week European tour in support of Sex and the City through London, Berlin and Paris.

But before you think how Carrie Bradshaw it all sounds, you should know she doesn’t like being away from hubby Matthew Broderick and 5-year-old son James Wilkie for too long.

So she has a plan to keep in touch with her little man. "I speak to him probably three times a day, and we have a whole system of staying in touch,” Parker told me over the phone from London. "And Matthew is, I must say, brilliantly handling things. I’m so impressed!"

Sweet, no? So then let's get to the Sex, shall we? Read on for my exclusive one-on-one with SJP. We talk about Mr. Big, her favorite SATC episode and why her son won’t be watching the hit HBO series for many more years to come...

UPDATE: I just heard back from Montag's rep on why she wasn't at the party.

Two words: "Not invited."

Photo-opportunists Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are no-shows at the Hills season finale party happening right now at a private mansion in Beverly Hills.

That's weird, right?

“It’s not weird to me,” Lauren "L.C." Conrad told reporters as she walked into the party.

Conrad also insisted she had nothing to do with it one way or another. Montag's missed big parties for the MTV hit series before, including one in L.A. and another in NYC.

“I have no control over the guest list,” Conrad said.

But Pratt's sister, Stephanie, is in the house...

Teri Hatcher isn’t the only Desperate Housewives star yearning for a music career.

So is Andrea Bowen.

Bowen, 18, says she’s going to start recording some tracks this summer. “I’ve been a singer since before I was an actress,” she said at Friday’s Step Up Women's Network awards luncheon in Beverly Hills. “It’s something I’m exploring and playing with and having fun with.”

She’s still looking for her sound. “I don’t really know for sure what route I’m going to go down,” Bowen said. “Right now, it’s kind of all over the place.”

Hatcher, who plays Bowen's mom on DH, was a surprise performer during "Idol Gives Back" last month, singing a cover of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats.”

The British tabs are barking: Owen Wilson has popped the question to Kate Hudson and sealed the deal with a mongo diamond ring.

But reps for both stars insist otherwise.

"Not true!" Wilson's publicist tells me. Adds Hudson's rep, "She is definitely not engaged."

As for Ms. Most Beautiful's mystery bling, the true story is revealed in my videoblog above.

Yep, she’s 50!

Ellen DeGeneres is celebrating the big 5-0 with a star-studded blowout carnival and casino-themed bash tonight on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank.

I'm told that the 600 or so on the guest list include newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Tom Hanks, Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton and Clive Davis.

Pink will perform and Samantha Ronson will deejay.

DeGeneres turned 50 on Jan. 26, but postponed her party plans because of the writers' strike.

Miley Cyrus is teaming up with—ready for this?—John Travolta.

Not only are they both voicing characters in the upcoming animated flick Bolt, but Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, tells me they could be making music together.

“Johnny may sing with Miley,” Preston said at yesterday’s Step Up Women’s Network’s Inspiration Awards luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Preston and Travolta’s 8-year-old daughter, Ella, is a longtime Cyrus fan. They first met Cyrus when the Hannah Montana star was opening for Cheetah Girls during their concert tour about two years ago. “We [now] know Miley very well,” Preston said, “and she’s a sweetheart.”
