Vanessa Minnillo is having no problem moving on from Nick Lachey.

Ms. Minnillo was whoopin' it up last night with some friends at celebrity restaurant STK Los Angeles. She was one hungry lady, enjoying a 16 oz. NY strip, a mac and cheese, plus some sweet corn pudding.

She washed it all down and then some with chardonnay and shots of Patrón. Showing off her bod in a short pink and purple dress, "She was definitely looking to have fun," a source said.

Lachey and the former MTV VJ split up late last month, after about three years together.

Minnillo, I'm told, took off after about three hours, around midnight, "and went out clubbing with her friends."

Minnillo wasn't the only pretty starlet in the eatery to be enjoying mucho drinks…

AnnaLynne McCord had a very good reason to enjoy Strawberry Cobble cocktails with her din-din—the 90210 beauty was celebrating her 22nd birthday!

After she and three pals finished off a chocolate-chip cookie dessert, they headed next door to Coco de Ville to meet up with more friends. Said an onlooker, "They sang 'Happy Birthday' to her while dancing and toasting with vodka shots."

Vanessa and Nick certainly aren't the only celebs who have put an end to their romance. Get a crash course in star breakups with our awesome—but sometimes sad—Big Celebrity Splits photo gallery.
