The girls, they're crazy ...

Egotastic.com brings up a wild and crazy rumor -- Jessica Simpson on the arm of Jake Gyllenhaal!?

One of Paris Hilton's friends told Page Six that the 24-carat engagement ring Paris Latsis supposedly gave her was not real. "[Paris] bought it for herself ... It's a cubic zirconia! The ring Paris [Latsis] gave her was a much smaller one. She lied to Us Weekly about it and everyone picked it up." Classy.

Contactmusic.com says Mischa Barton is writing her own autobiography!? For a girl who seems like a relatively private/quiet person (save for the slobbering with ex-boyfriend Brandon Davis), this is quite the shocker ... she was also jokingly advised to sleep with Leonardo DiCaprio by her publicist during a recent photoshoot in Malibu, to boost her career, says Softpedia.com. Mischa's response? “Isn't he, like, 30 or something?” Mischa. Isn't your current boyfriend, like, 29 or something? [Photo courtesy of mischa-b.com]

Contactmusic.com is also saying that Nicole Richie takes an easy blow at Paris Hilton in her new fiction book The Truth About Diamonds. In it, character Simone Westlake shares uncanny characteristics with Paris and does a couple of things Paris has been said to have done in recent years -- such as using the word "ni*ger," "boasting about having a strain of marijuana named after her" ("Paris always bragged about how she had a type of weed named after her back in high school," a friend told Inside TV magazine) and Simone apparently shares Paris' splitting image. So what about Nicole? Try the protagonist, "Chloe Parker" -- "a beautiful Los Angeles socialite with a rock star father." I don't think that's Kimberly Stewart.

Hilary Duff's ready for a break -- and she looks it too. She tells Fashion 18 that she's had enough of people asking her about her teeth and her weight loss: "I try to be tough about it ... I don't care about such crap; it's so stupid when you read stuff like that ... I'm ready for a bit of a break ... but I feel like I've had so much opportunity and a lot of success, and I just feel grateful and lucky." She later said at the CosmoGirl! Born to Lead Awards that she's taking a month off: "I think it's the type of exhaustion that, like, one night of sleep doesn't fix, you know ... I was supposed to take September off for my birthday, but it didn't happen." She's putting Outward Blonde, her next film (which she was scheduled to do since 2003, if I recall correctly), on hold until after her break. [Photo courtesy of oh-hilary.com]

Aaron Carter, according to a response to a fan letter, has taken time off from touring to take "college classes (open learning)". Apparently, he'd cancelled some tour dates and his fans were pissed. But not so much anymore! They're happy he's so smart and think it's an honorable endeavour. I think it's a Big Fat Lie. He's so high he can't get his sh*t straight. In happier Carter family news, psycho-mom Jane Carter married some dude by the name of Holcomb in Reno, Nevada on November 2nd. Have fun with this one, Mr. Holcomb!
