About once every three months or so Nicky Hilton begs big sis Paris to lie low for a couple days, go for a series of colonics at that nice spa in Palm Springs or fall off a table while she's dancing so she has to have a bit of bed rest, so that Nicky can nab a little piece of the Hilton press pie, in order to sell Tweety-bird themed clothing or a hotel or cowboy hats with Nicky spelled out in rhinestones or some such crap. This time around Nick's using her Paris-free day for a little break-up publicity.

This heartbreaking tale is brought to us by the dream crushers and unicorn punchers at Us Weekly:

After a two-year romance, Nicky Hilton and Kevin Connolly have called it quits. "They're no longer a couple," a Hilton rep confirms exclusively to Us Weekly. Hilton, 23, began dating Connolly, 32, star of HBO's Entourage, in late 2004, just weeks after she annulled her three-month marriage to New York businessman Todd Meister. A Hilton pal says the heiress "dumped" Connolly on October 16 after she suspected he had been unfaithful. A rep for Connolly could not be reached for comment.

We think this whole infidelity thing is just a cover-up because Nicky is too embarrassed to admit that Kevin made off with her Lucky Charms. All of her hearts, moons, stars, clovers, horseshoes, pots of gold, rainbows, and red balloons--gone, never to be recovered.
