Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have split, reps for both stars tell Usmagazine.com.

"They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," Minnillo's rep tells Us.

Adds a source: "It was an amicable break-up. They walk away from it still friends."

Says another, "They still care about each other very much. This is what's best for both of them."

Yesterday was a total bummer, what with Ed McMahon dying and Chris Brown not getting his ass thrown in jail, and today we have to deal with this? You know what this means, don't you? This means that each of them is eventually going to find a new person to schtup, and likely that person will be even less famous, and then we'll have two marginally noteworthy boring-as-hell couples to keep tabs on. And then those couples will break up and form news couples and then those couples will break up and so on and so on. The only obvious solution to end this madness is for Vanessa to reveal that she's actually a black widow spider who learned to take human form and after she disposes of a mate she kills him. But that would then make her interesting, so it's highly unlikely.

When producers flew her to Los Angeles to cover the Grammys, "she was extremely high maintenance," said one source. "She insisted they fly her own hair and makeup people and her personal assistant out with her every time she flew to L.A. She only flew first class and stayed at the Four Seasons, and then she didn't want to work.

"Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them," said the source. "She wouldn't conduct post-show interviews because she wanted to party. She expected to be paid a full-time salary for a part-time job."

Page Six spotted Minnillo at one of the fall fashion shows changing seats for 15 minutes until she was satisfied. She's been known to bark orders at cocktail waitresses and cause scenes when she goes club hopping at night.

This is sort of like when the one innocent-seeming cheerleader gets sick of her boring persona–always expected to show up to pep rallies with enough freshly baked snicker doodles for the whole school–and starts hanging out with the school slut, smoking doobs between classes in the girls' bathroom and giving blowjobs after school under the bleachers.

The gossip rags surprise us sometimes. We usually turn to In Touch for our weekly dose of pictures of stars turned a certain way so that the straining flesh somewhat resembles cellulite, and to learn if Rachel Bilson prefers pumpkin or cinnamon scented body wash. With all the recent focus on famous, shorn beavs, it's rather refreshing to see a list of dames with great pegs. Whassa matta, mug, ya don't dig glommin' on a moll's stems? Well, 23 skiddoo, pally boy, before we stuff a roscoe in your maw and squirt metal, see?
