Contrary to reports that Paris Hilton begged Doug Reinhardt to take her back after she publicly dumped him earlier in the week, Paris herself contends that no such thing happened. She dumped him and is moving on without him — the end. And to prove her point, she has been seen in the company of a new male companion. No, I’m not talking about soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo … I’m referring to an even older male companion of hers — her pet chihuahua Tinkerbell:

Paris had some biz to take care of at MTV Studios yesterday so in place of her previous pet companion Doug Reinhardt, Hilton brought along her loyal pooch Tinkerbell. I mean … a dog is a dog right? While I’m still a bit dismayed that Pug Dilton failed to make their relationship work, I suppose I’ll get over it. True, Paris is now free to wreak havoc on the poor unsuspecting guys who continue to fall for her charms but, hey, I bet they’ll keep lining up.

Zac Efron was doin’ his thuggin’ best this week here in SoCal when he was spotted trying to exit his vehicle and still keep his pants on. For some reason, Zac really loves wearing his jeans hanging off his ass … which can be problematic when climbing out of a big SUV … behold:

Either he’s really proud of his Hanes undies or he’s just hopin’ to give his 13-year old fans a heart attack but one thing’s for sure, Zac is happy to let his ass hang out whenever humanly possible. I suppose we should … be thankful or something? Whatevs, I’m just lookin’ forward to the day when Zac miscalculates and those pants end up around his ankles. Hahahaha … now that’s the pic I want to see.

It is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I must report that my beloved Detroit Red Wings were unsuccessful in their bid to win the 2009 Stanley Cup. Altho Game 7 was played at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI, the Wings were unable to pull out the victory last night …

… that said, I am very proud of the Wings this year. They played an amazing season, provided countless hours of fun sports entertainment and did Detroit very proud, once again, this year. Congrats goes to the Pittsburgh Penguins on their win. If you are able to win Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Rock City then you absolutely deserve the Stanley Cup. Props to my hockey buddy Dino for keeping me sane thru the finals this year. All of my love and respect goes out to the Wings, tho. I am very much looking forward to next season already.

And now that hockey season is over, I can focus my attention on the Los Angeles Lakers:

I’m not a big basketball fan but I have adopted the Lakers as my bball team since I’ve been living here in SoCal. Game 5 of the NBA Final takes place here in Orlando, FL tomorrow night … here’s hoping they can pull out the win and give me something sporty to celebrate ;)

In a new interview with radio station 107.5 The River, Miley Cyrus admitted yesterday that she has “reconnected” with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas in the wake of her break-up with 20-year old manfriend Justin Gaston (you may recall that Miley and Justin broke up earlier this week). It should go without saying that Miley has reconnected with Nick especially since we saw photos of the pair jetskiing together in Savannah, GA just a couple of days ago (she’s there filming a new movie called The Last Song, he flew in for a 2 day rendezvous to reconnect, apparently). Here is a portion of Miley’s interview about her new relationship with Nick:

“He’s my best friend, and we still hang out all the time,” she said Friday on 107.5 The River’s Woody and Jim morning show in Nashville. “We’ve definitely reconnected. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but right now we’re just kind of kicking it and hanging out as much as we can.” Cyrus split with Jonas at the end of 2007. She told Seventeen last year that she “bawled for a month straight” and dyed her hair black after calling it quits. The two — who sing a duet on the Jonas Brothers’ new song, “Before The Storm — have since patched things up. “We both just kind of saw each other and kind of decided this whole thing is kind of stupid,” Cyrus said. “We were all over the separation.” “I’m really happy to be back in their lives,” she went on. “And our families are super happy we’re hanging out again.” Jonas even took a trip to Georgia to visit Cyrus, who is now shooting the drama The Last Song. On Wednesday, they went jet-skiing near Tybee Island. “No comment,” she said when asked about the outing, though she did admit, “I am a jet ski demon!”

Oh yeah … and about that nose piercing that Miley has been showing off lately, well she’s got a thing or two to say about that as well:

“I’ll let people think what they will,” she said. “I hope no one is upset at me for doing it. I think it’s lame for it to be such a big deal because … it’s just temporary. You can take it out.” What prompted the piercing? “I am a huge Kelly Clarkson fan,” she said. “And I loved when she had her nose pierced.”

Oh Miley … you’re just being Miley. I have to say that I think it’s very sweet that she has reconnected with her more age appropriate ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas. They just seem more suited for one another … mebbe they’ll make it work this time. As for poor Justin Gaston? Well … he’s been left home alone here in SoCal where he has been bizzying himself with posting You Tube videos here he proudly opines for “a very special someone”:

Awww … poor guy. But even still … you can’t live in the past. I’m sure you’ll find the right person for you, Justin … whoever that person may be.

PS: Justin Gaston posted this tweet to his official Twitter profile:

Taking a shower isn’t so much fun with my new tatttoo.. A bit painful

Anyone care to bet that he’s got Miley’s name tattooed somewhere on his bod? I wonder when we’ll get to see it.
