Ashlee is kind of, sort of denying the rumors that she’s with child, telling MTV’s TRL that she wouldn’t answer those kinds of personal questions, but then telling Life & Style that she absolutely not pregnant. I will believe her once a bump fails to pop up in the next month. Preggers until proven un-preggers! Also, even People is giving the pregnancy rumors some weight, and they are legit, yo.

“I love Africa in general — South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries.”—Paris Hilton, currently on tour in Africa with boyfriend Benji Madden and his band Good Charlotte.

Lindsay Lohan has been stickin’ it to Paris Hilton! When the cat’s away groupie-ing it up with her boyfriend Benji Madden in South Africa, someone’s gotta take her place in America.  And Lohan has risen to the challenge! Earlier today, a sex tape, er, crappy cell phone video, surfaced of a blonde going down on Calum Best—a boy the starlet has a summer fling with. Lindsay reportedly said she didn’t remember being filmed, which is completely plausible considering her old habits. Then Lindsay kicked it up a Paris-notch by sporting an initial ring of her own.  While Hilton’s got “BM”, supposedly for her #2—boyfriend Benji—Lohan’s got SR, for her best girlfriend DJ Samantha Ronson.  So now, not only is she copping a feel on Paris’ publicity racket and fashion sense, she’s also playing gay for a day—just like Hilton recently did with Elisha Cuthbert! Man, Lohan has got this Paris act down. Turns out, however, that the sex tape is just some other blonde chick, but we still think Lindsay should get to play Paris in a Lifetime Made-For-TV movie.

What magic potion did Sarah Larson use to entrance George Clooney? The tabs are reporting that the actor is set to give up his prized bachelordom and marry Sarah this summer. [Marie Claire U.K.]

Sienna Miller and her boyfriend Rhys Ifans are engaged! Apparently he has asked for her hand three times before and she’s always said no. Playing hard to get, eh, Sienna? [Perez Hilton]

Paris Hilton wore a giant, tacky, bejeweled “BM” ring at boyfriend Benji Madden’s birthday party this weekend. This is probably a little fratty of us, but all we could think of when we saw that ring was bowel movements. [Us Weekly]

Oh my gosh, cannot believe I forgot to mention this yesterday. Paris Hilton is dating Joel Madden’s twin brother Benji. Joel Madden? As in Nicole Richie’s baby daddy? This has got to make double-dating so much easier. [Just Jared]

Britney Spears was finally allowed, after a month and a half, to see her kids. Twice! Yay! [Perez Hilton]

One of the best moments for me from the Oscars was when George Clooney and his much, much, much younger girlfriend talked about what they did for Valentine’s Day. They went to Vegas! To hang out with her friends! For some reason, the idea of the Cloons hanging out with a bunch of sorority girls makes me laugh and cry at the same time. [OMG!]
