Despite all the pics of them cuddling at the Grey Gardens NYC premiere, Drew claims she and her ex-boyfriend are just good friends. They’re good friends who are also going to be co-starring in a romantic comedy that films later this year. And all of this is just a publicity stunt totally genuine respect for each other.

“We’re doing a film this summer,” she says. “I guess people find it a little confusing. I totally understand. It seems like, ‘What is the deal with them?’ But we just adore each other. We’re in each other’s lives, and we’re friends, and we’re working together, and we have worked together.”

Drew also says she wouldn’t mind it if Justin started dating other people. She hopes he meet “fantastic people because he’s a great guy, and he deserves the most happiness.” As for her own dating life? “I am still just not ready for anything,” she says. “I’ve spent two years really with a very different life than I’ve had before. My priorities have changed. I directed a film. I did this drama [Grey Gardens]. It was something I’ve never done anything like … and I don’t know how to maintain a relationship to be honest, while I’m doing all of that.”

Oh whatever. Let’s say it all together now: “BULLLLLLSHIT.” Justin and Drew are totally boinking, she’d be furious if he started seeing someone else, and she’ll be back in a serious relationship within a month or two.

Married mother Ashlee Simpson(-Wentz) showed up Thursday to film scenes for the CW’s Melrose Place remake — and she brought Sprinkles cupcakes! How sweet! She must REALLY want to keep this job!

I’ve been hearing rumors from folks inside the CW that the pilot script really sucks and the network may not even greenlight a season. Personally, I think that’s probably bullshit. There’s enough buzz around this show already that it wouldn’t make any sense for the CW to scrap it entirely. I think Ashlee & Co will get at least a half-season. I mean, it’s not like the CW has anything better to air. But I just pass on what I hear!

I can never keep track of whether Heidi Fleiss is sober at any given time. It’s just at the point of meth-saturation where she looks completely wrecked no matter what. Lindsay Lohan, this is your future. Heidi is only 43 years old! My grandfather has better teeth, and he’s twice her age.

Heidi did some shopping in Beverly Hills on Thursday, and likely tipped off the paparazzi, although I have no idea why she’d want to be photographed the way she looks. I’d heard that she abandoned her plans for a Stud Ranch (a male brothel), so I checked her official website, and it claims that she’s still in the process of launching it. Actually, here’s what it says, exactly:

I have a fun game, guys. Let’s see if we can list ALL the spelling and punctuation errors in these four small paragraphs. Go.

A little Friday fun for you guys — here’s some behind-the-scenes footage of David Beckham shooting his new ad for the Motorola Aura.

Watching this makes me want to do a lot of things. Buying a cell phone is not one of them.

There are six tracks from the new Hannah Montana soundtrack on the Billboard 100 this week.

Most of you have already heard “The Climb,” which is leading the HM pack at #8 on the charts, but the runner-up track is “Hoedown Throwdown,” and you’re less likely to have heard it if you don’t spend a lot of time around a 12-year-old. I heard it for the first time about a week ago. I wanted to Hoedown Throwup, if you get my drift, and so I’m totally forcing it on all of you. It’s above. If I were really cruel, I’d set it to auto-play, but I still have a little bit of kindness left in my evil heart.

Gwyneth Paltrow, in her latest GOOP newsletter:

Back in the day, I had a “frenemy” who, as it turned out, was pretty hell-bent on taking me down. This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restrained myself from fighting back. I tried to take the high road. But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and…happiness. There went the high road. So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don’t like? Or someone you DO like? Or someone you don’t KNOW? I once asked the editor of a tabloid newspaper why all of the stories about a famous British couple had a negative bent. He said that when the headline was positive, the paper didn’t sell. Why is that? What’s wrong with us?

Hmmmm. Who could Gwynnie be talking about???
