Lindsay & Sam Split Again
It's over.
After Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson reconnected last month following their split in April, the couple has once again broken up.
The duo broke things off again Monday night after a nasty argument. One major point of friction between the two was Sam's friendship with Nicole Richie, who's apparently no fan of Lohan.
"Nicole refuses even to be in the same room as Lindsay," says a source, noting that just last week Nicole invited Sam to a mutual friend's birthday party at Bar Marmont with the stipulation that she not bring Lindsay. "Sam went to the party, and it really upset Lindsay," says the source.
After Sam had dinner with Nicole at Izakaya last night, a source says she gave Linds the kiss-off.
Sam's rep declined to comment on her personal life, and Richie's rep could not be reached for comment.
Jen Aniston & Courteney Cox Come Out for Congo
Jennifer Aniston, Sheryl Crow and Courteney Cox all came out last night for a cause.
The ladies hit OmniPeace's party at STK, where they sported T-shirts from the humanitarian fashion line.
Jen came solo and spent most of the night with Courteney and David Arquette, who were celebrating their 10-year anniversary.
"David was sneaking out a bit to watch the Lakers but then was by Courteney’s side for the majority of the night," a source tells E!.
They weren't the only stars seated at her table...
Nicole Richie Plays Publicist for Pete Wentz
Nicole Richie is already a mom and designer, but last night, she was moonlighting as a publicist!
Nic cohosted a fashion show along with Pete Wentz and made sure he didn't answer any questions about the alleged fight Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Michelle Trachtenberg got into over him.
"That's not appropriate," she interrupted when I asked about ladies fighting over him.
As for whether he gave the models clad in his Clandestine Industries clothing any advice?

Nicole Richie: Dreaming of Marriage...Someday
As far as Nicole Richie's concerned, her family unit is just fine the way it is. (And how cute is little Harlow?)
"Of course when I was a little girl, you dream about getting married, and that is definitely a dream of mine one day," the pregnant mother of one said tonight on Larry King Live when the host asked her when she and baby daddy Joel Madden are going to make it legal.
"Right now, we're really, really focused on our family, we're focused on our foundation, and as far as feeling that need of commitment, we both really have that in each other," Richie said.
"It's not our generation, I'm telling you," dad Lionel Richie added, though he was talking about Nicole and Joel's decision not to find out the sex of the baby before he/she is born.
"We want the surprise…what is there really to plan?" Nicole wondered. "I'll get the clothes after."
For the record, grandpa is really hoping for a boy. "Joel and I are having powwows," he said. Added Nicole, "You should hear them prepping each other."
Update
Joel Madden's Tattoos Land Him in No-Fly Zone
Discrimination against people with tattoos is just plane crazy.
When heavily inked rocker Joel Madden attempted to board a British Airways flight from London to Lisbon on Saturday evening, he claims he was ordered to hide his tats or stay in the U.K.
"Was just told by a british air person I can't get on the plane till I cover my tatts," he twittered. "I really actually am in shock he won't let me on the plane till I put long sleeves on and other BA rep is disagreeing."
Rise 'n' Shine: Lindsay Lohan Moves Toward Leonardo DiCaprio
• Lindsay Lohan attempts to reel in Leonardo DiCaprio by showing off her best dance moves. Someone ought to remind her that the Bar is set really, really hot.
• The standard, over-the-shoulder red carpet shot is dead to neon shoe-wearing Sarah Jessica Parker.
• What do Susan Boyle and dying dogs have in common? They both make Joel Madden and Nicole Richie cry.
• Ben Affleck doesn't know what 7th Heaven was, or so its star Stephen Collins thinks. The former TV dad may even be a bit bitter that the State of Play star used his name for the film.
• Kelly Clarkson insists she doesn't hook up and the Black Eyed Peas go boom. Are you going gaga for either of these new vids?
• Dear So You Think You Can Dance fans: Here's a preview video for season five (high-kicking off May 21)—you can thank us later. Love, Rise 'n' Shine
OK, Eva Longoria Parker and Teri Hatcher, what is so funny? The TV-friendly twosome laugh it up in the Big Picture gallery.
Ellen, Nicole, Gwyneth: Want Their Wardrobes?
Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Richie and Ellen DeGeneres are helping charities (and the poorly dressed) by cleaning out their closets.
Gwyneth and Ellen's clothes are up for grabs on eBay. Sales of Gwyn's goods, such as a Burberry dress and Topshop trench, go to the Robin Hood Foundation, while money from Ellen's wardrobe will help the Humane Society.
Instead of digging into her own closet, Nicole is auctioning off Harlow's baby gear on handmedowns.com to benefit her own charity.
Next month, Angelina Jolie is giving up goods to Hand Me Downs from her entire brood of Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Sounds like her family's getting an early start on becoming philanthropists like their mama!
So the real question is, which celeb do you wish would donate their couture castoffs next? Sound off below!
Zac Efron's Famous-People Pool Party
So this is what celeb pool parties are like: Justin Long drinks Corona underwater, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden almost get engaged, Lance Bass talks about his self-Googling problem, Brody Jenner lectures on Keynesian economics and some blond girls discuss Ron Paul. At least that's how Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens' FunnyOrDie.com famous-people pool party goes down. But wait, what's this? Oh, it's a twist!
Zefron's Uncle Hank (Thomas Lennon) and his girlfriend (Nicole Sullivan) crash the party with their redneckness and make the famous people uncomfortable. How will these television and reality stars ever deal with the obnoxious drunks when all they've got is a pretty solid "OK" stare? You're going to have to watch to find out, and then catch 17 Again next weekend (the true message of this viral video).
Lindsay Lohan Playing Family Feud With Ronsons
Sounds like Lindsay Lohan is dealing with a real life Mean Girls situation.
Sources confirm to E! News that LiLo was indeed denied entry Friday night into the launch party hosted by girlfriend Samantha Ronson's sister, Charlotte, for her JCPenney clothing line. (Samantha also deejayed the bash.)
But E! News has also learned the couple later reunited at an afterparty in a room at the Chateau Marmont. The party drama outside Bar Marmont was just the latest battle in an ongoing feud between Lohan and the Ronson family, as well as several anti-SamRo pals, including Nicole Richie.
Despite photos and video circulating online of the locks being changed at the home Ronson shares with Lohan, sources close to the actress insist that as of Sunday the couple had not broken up.
Instead, insiders say the pair recently have been fighting over efforts by Ronson's friends and family, particularly mom Ann and sister Charlotte, to convince Sam part to ways with her ladylove.
Pregnant Nicole Richie Finds Good Cause to Party
Pregnancy isn't slowing Nicole Richie down.
At last night's Esprit store opening in Santa Monica, hosted by Nicole and Joel Madden, she announced that her belly isn't the only thing growing: She's also expanding her fashion line.
"I'm going to be doing apparel, accessories and footwear, so that's really exciting," she told E! News.
What else is the couple up to these days?
