American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and Australian pop singer and model Sophie Monk were seen ducking into a backseat together after leaving L.A. nightclub Foxtail this weekend.

After much speculation that Monk’s relationship with longtime boyfriend and fiance Benji Madden was on the rocks, the couple officially announced their split in February. The Good Charlotte frontman has recently been romantically linked to Paris Hilton.

Ironically, Monk was seen leaving an L.A. nightclub two weeks ago with Paris Hilton’s ex, former pizza delivery boy, Alex Vaggo.

Ryan Seacrest was rumored to be dating NYC bartender Erica Lancellotti.

So what is the Ryan Seacrest/Sophie Monk connection? We have no idea. We’ll leave that up to your very vivid imaginations.

Paris Hilton will be going on tour with boyfriend Benji Madden next week when his band, Good Charlotte, starts their international tour.

Hilton stated, “We’re actually leaving in a couple days for South Africa, so I’ll be with him.” When asked if she was ready for life on a tour bus, she continued, “I’m just happy to be together, so no matter where we are, we’ll have a great time.”

Benji seems equally smitten with Paris. Madden claims, “I’d do anything she wanted. I’m a really easy guy to read. Everyone can tell I’m really happy. She’s the most supportive [girlfriend], even as a friend, so supportive of everything I’m doing. And I try to be the same way for her.”

Isn’t this almost exactly how Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s relationship started out? Maybe we should keep a look out for a Paris baby bump.

Let the rumors begin. Apparently Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson have become good buddies on the set of their upcoming movie Marley & Me.

A source claims, “Jen wasn’t looking forward to [making the film] at first because she was worried about working with Owen, but he has turned out to be a real surprise. She’s finding out that he’s a terrific guy who’s fun to be around.”

When the cameras stop rolling the affection keeps on going. The source adds, “They were very flirty together, far more than you would expect. In between takes they were hanging onto each other. They are very friendly.”

Wonder what Kate Hudson has to say about the rumors?

Even though we all know Jessica Simpson is not the brightest crayon in the box, you have to admit she knows how to carry a tune. But can she transition from ditsy pop princess to country music star? According to a source, boyfriend Tony Romo doesn’t quite think so.

Tony thinks Jessica can’t compete with country singer and ex-girlfriend, Carrie Underwood. A friend tells OK! magazine “Tony said he thought Jess would have trouble winning over audiences with her upcoming country CD.”

It really hurt her feelings…duh! “She tried to laugh it off in Hawaii (Tony was playing in the Pro Bowl), but she pouted whenever she heard Carrie’s songs playing,” the friend told the magazine.

Ouch!
