We can still be MySpace friends

What's odder about the Nicole Richie break-up with Brody Jenner? OK. Perhaps you might've thought that was a trick question, because the mere notion of anyone caring about either of these children of famous people is odd in itself.

But magazine reports that Richie and Jenner had broken up led to Richie posting her own opinion on her MySpace blog at 1:48 a.m. today...in her words: "Relationship? I know there are rumors regarding my "breakup" with Brody Jenner. The truth is, we were never really together. We hung out, and he's a nice guy, but my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity."

Ouch. And yet, turn to her main MySpace page and see who's still her No. 1 friend: Yes, that be Brody. At least 13 hours after her announcement, she still thinks enough of him to make him the tops! And Nicole is still tops on Brody's page. Just in case you're still wondering about these two. OK. I'm done now.
