Wait what is going on here. It appears that John Mayer and Jessica Simpson have broken up. Is there nothing sacred left in the world? John allegedly dumped Jessica last weekend. The pop singer began dating Mayer in 2006, following her divorce from husband Nick Lachey, which was finalized in June. Lachey recently moved in with his girlfriend, MTV and Entertainment Tonight personality Vanessa Minnillo. The news of the split comes days after Simpson’s father/manager Joe gave his personal approval to his daughter’s new man, insisting he was a “big fan” of the Grammy-winning star. The pair was last seen together at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala in New York City on May 7.

Howie Day the ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears is reportedly back in rehab, just one month after he checked out of California’s Promises facility. Day met Britney Spears when their stays at Promises overlapped earlier this year – and the pair were reported to have begun dating last month. An insider tells website UsMagazine.com, “He has some more issues he has to deal with.” Maybe if Britney’s bangin body is not at rehab with her, he will finally get clean and sober.

Rock Gods The Killers walked offstage during their concert in Colorado Thursday night, because front man Brandon Flowers was suffering from a throat injury. The band took to the stage at the Red Rocks Amphitheater at 10pm but Flowers led his bandmates off midway through the second song. A doctor then went onstage and told the audience it would be damaging to Flowers’ voice to carry on singing. Drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. promised disappointed fans the band would return to perform there. I wonder if this will be a career “killer” to their career. Oh that old gag.

Country Bad Girl Gretchen Wilson has returned to school to complete the education she never finished as a teen. The 33-year-old regrets dropping out of school at 15 during the ninth grade, and is now preparing to take a General Educational Development Test by the end of the summer. She says, “All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education. I felt like I was missing something – that there was stuff other people know that I don’t. And I want to know it, even if I don’t need it.” And Wilson is also inspired to learn so she can help her six-year-old daughter Grace with her homework. She adds, “When she gets to that point and has trouble with algebra, I want to be able to say, ‘Let Mommy help you.’ I don’t want to be ignorant in my daughter’s eyes.” Oh good for her. Now maybe she can also teach her daughter how to dip and spit tobacco into a cup halfway across the room.

News of the World reports the Spice Girls are secretly recording a new Christmas single in hopes for another #1 hit. Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton were spotted emerging from a top-secret recording session in a Brighton basement studio this week. “It’s phenomenal news for them,” an insider revealed, “and the girls are really excited.” I wonder if Uber-Lesbo Sporty Spice is on board for this reunion yet. I have heard rumblings about this reunion for about 6 months now.

And finally, Donald Trump, whose low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off the new prime-time schedule unveiled this week by NBC, says the network can’t fire him — he quits. The real estate mogul issued a statement on Friday saying he has informed the U.S. television network he is “moving on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. There was no immediate comment from NBC. But his announcement appeared to end any lingering doubt that “The Apprentice,” which turned the self-styled tycoon into a television star and popularized the catch phrase, “You’re fired,” would be banished from NBC’s airwaves next season. Oh Donald, you are such a pompous ass. I guess he really does believe that the world does revolve around his really bad hair.

“My Name is Earl” star Jamie Pressley and her Cuban DJ fiancé welcomed a baby boy this week. The couple has named the child Desi after Cuban legend Desi Arnaz. That is actually a really cool name Desi. I heard Jamie Pressley loves the sauce, so maybe they called him that because he will be her desi-gnated driver.

On Dancing With The Stars, “90210″ alum Ian Ziering and his partner, Cheryl Burke were voted off after Monday night’s performance in which Ziering dressed up like Elvis Presley.

And finally, Britney Spears has credited her fans for helping her battle her demons, suggesting her recent rehab spell was brought on by a bout of depression. In a letter posted on her website Wednesday the pop superstar tells devotees that their prayers have “truly helped me” as she faced some dark days after splitting from husband Kevin Federline late last year. She writes, “I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and (I) will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by my side during this trying time.” “We are all the lights of the world and we all need to continually inspire others and look to the higher power. You are all in my prayers.” Well thank you Britney, I am happy to know I am in your prayers!!! I really do feel honored.
