Rumors of a relationship between 'Laguna Beach' star Kristin Cavallari and Nick Lachey seem to be officially over.

Faye Resnick, a crucial witness in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, resurfaced Wednesday night at a party at Club Mood in Hollywood.

Chris Daughtry will get an offer tonight to front a famous band. It will unfold on the television show 'EXTRA.'

Members of the band will appear on the 'EXTRA' set to make the offer.

Lindsay Lohan dodged questions about her love life, though she said she hasn't dated nearly as many men as she's rumored to have.

WHERE IT STARTED: When Fergie showed up for the Grammy's last February, it seemed she had the telltale bump. There were, however, mixed signals, since The Black Eyed Peas were about to start a U.S. and European tour -- never a good idea when you're expecting a baby.

HOW IT SPREAD: It's no secret -- Fergie and 'Las Vegas' star Josh Duhamel are an item. So, when Star Magazine reported that the singer was 8 weeks pregnant as of April 17, the rumor spread like wildfire. By the way, Star Mag also reported a while back that Fergie and Josh had just gotten engaged.

THE TMZ LOWDOWN: We went right to the source, or close enough. TMZ got in touch with Fergie's sister last Friday. Lil' sis did not mince words -- 100% NOT pregnant. She also said that Fergie and Josh "are very much in love" but there is definitely no ring in the picture, at least not yet.

WHERE IT STARTED: Recently, at Hollywood hotspot The Dime, Lindsay sent a round of drinks over to Jessica Simpson's table (where Jess was sitting with Lindsay's then-rumored boyfriend, director Brett Ratner). Lohan supposedly didn't receive a thank you from Jess, reportedly leaving Lohan furious and jealous.

A few days later, 'Life and Style' reported Lindsay told a friend she was going to get back at Jessica by going after her estranged husband, Nick Lachey.

HOW IT SPREAD: Rumors of a Lohan/Simpson feud have actually been brewing ever since Ashlee Simpson allegedly got involved with Lohan's ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. That led to reports that Lohan didn't let Jessica and Ashlee into her MTV Movie Awards party at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood last June.

Ashlee then reportedly fired back at Lindsay with her hit single, 'Boyfriend.' Now rumors are flying that the recent spat at The Dime was the Simpson sisters' last straw.

THE TMZ LOWDOWN: Lindsay's rep denied the story to 'Life and Style.' Sources close to Nick have told TMZ that there's nothing to the rumors -- that Lindsay has made no contact with Jessica's ex.

Rob Shuter, Jessica's publicist, also tells us that rumors of a feud between the girls "are a whole lot of nothing." But unfortunately for Lindsay, when Nick was asked about the rumor in a recent radio interview, he stated "I can safely say that I don't have any interest in Lindsay Lohan...nor do I understand anyone else who does." Ouch, will this lead to a Lachey/Lohan feud?

The bottom line -- there seems to be some bad blood between the two young divas, but it has not escalated to "I'll steal your guy" warfare.

HOW IT SPREAD: Star reported that the alleged boyfriend is Larry Birkhead, a freelance entertainment reporter/photographer. Birkhead declined to comment to Star. The day after the story broke, the New York Daily News picked up the rumor with a new spin -- that Birkhead himself was "boasting of impending fatherhood."
The Daily News was even more specific, reporting that Smith was five months pregnant.

THE TMZ LOWDOWN: Birkhead changed his response from an initial no comment to a denial. So, was Birkhead asked to change his response? Birkhead would not go further with TMZ than to deny the pregnancy rumors, but here's where the plot thickens. A source connected with Anna Nicole scoffs at the notion that Birkhead impregnated her, though the source would not confirm if she is indeed pregnant.

But another source insists Smith and Birkhead were having an intimate relationship. So why the effort to distance Smith from Birkhead, even though the two have had a relationship? It makes rumors of a pregnancy more credible.

THE RUMOR: Is Anna Nicole Smith pregnant?

Anna Nicole may be straying from TrimSpa. But not because of too many mashed potatoes. The buzz is -- Anna's gonna have a kid.

TMZ asks, is Anna pregnant and who's the daddy?

THE RUMOR: Is Lindsay Lohan out for revenge against Jessica Simpson by going after Nick?

Lindsay and Jessica are at war, at least according to reports. Could it be that Lindsay is plunging the knife in Jessica's back by setting her sight on Nick Lachey?

TMZ has the lowdown on the feud.

THE RUMOR: Are Fergie (Black Eyed Pea) and Josh Duhamel expecting a baby?

So what's the deal with what could be a telltale "bump." Take a look and judge for yourself.

TMZ investigates, is Fergie prego?
