She looks like a dude.I know Heidi's all proud of her pics. Semi-hot bod, but the airhead is all makeup and hair extensions. But she cleans up well, so work it out now.

On the hit MTV "reality" series The Hills, Heidi Montag plays the role of Lauren Conrad's supportive BFF (and romantic rival of ex-pal Audrina).

But in a surprising and candid interview with Us magazine, Montag boasts she's even prouder playing a scantily-clad blondie in an 8-page spread inside the March issue of Stuff magazine.

Us: What do you think about not being old enough for the cover?
"I do think it is unfair that I didn't get the cover because of my age, but I understand, and it gives me something to look forward to when I turn 21."

Us: Do you think the photo spread is sexy?
"Obviously, they are sexy. Mostly because I am hardly wearing anything! I was excited to show a side of myself that people don't get a chance to see just watching The Hills. Spencer (Pratt, her manager-boyfriend and Hills co-star) definitely likes them!"

Us: What does Lauren think of the pics?
"She will probably think they are provocative, but hopefully she will like them."

Us: Were you nervous about doing the shoot?
"I was definitely nervous about this shoot. It is my first big spread in any magazine and it was a very sexual photo shoot. I wore different swimsuits and outfits. The most provocative photos were either the ones in the pool where I am splashing around in the water, or the poses on the bearskin rug. I definitely had a lot of fun doing it."

Us: What's your message to your teenage girl fans by taking sexy photos like these?
"If they get a chance to do a [national magazine] photo spread [at my age], and they feel comfortable with their bodies, then they should do it. That's my message."

Us: So you want to be a pop star?
"I am working on my album right now. The sound is going to be very fun, fresh, sexy. It will be the Pussycat Dolls-meets-Gwen Stefani, with a dose of Fergie. I grew up dancing so there also will be a lot of performing. And a lot of my songs will be very sexual."

Us: Do you think Audrina is going to be jealous of your spread?
"Ha! I would be, but I honestly don't think she will be."

I can't wait for Heidi's album to flop. So fun!

Gay rights leaders have spoken out against the video clip and are urging the Simple Life star to apologise to those offended.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) president Neil Giuliano said: "When Paris Hilton utters these words into a camera, it creates a permanent record that…she must bear responsibility for."

He added: "These are not frivolous words and to use them as if they are gives tacit sanction to the racism and homophobia they engender."

It is time, Mr Giuliano said, for the hotel heiress to: "go on the record, explain herself, and publicly apologize to the LGBT and African American communities and all those offended by these slurs."

It's fair that there's outrage over Parisite's slur, we all know how much shit Isaiah Washington received, but I'm weary of folks apologizing. Apologize for what you meant and still mean? Apologize for the beliefs you're going to continue to hold?!

I mean, this is Parisite we're talking about here. If she stopped receiving press that would hurt her. I know it's not gonna happen, but an apology coming from Parisite is worth about as much as a Kevin Federline cd on eBay.

The infested socialite is a racist homophobic, and that won't change with an apology. An explanation from Parisite would be better than an empty "I'm sorry."

But then again, my fist to her beak nose would be better than winning a new car. Guess we can't have it all.

Jessica Simpson says seeing Nick Lachey with another woman after their split was painful.

"Oh, it hurt me," Simpson tells Elle in its March issue. "Two or three weeks later? Yeah, I'd say it kind of hurt me."

(After their November 2005 separation, her ex was photographed with Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari. He's now dating MTV's Vanessa Minnillo.)

But Simpson, 26, says she's still in touch with Lachey, 33. "He's so much a part of my life, how could I not be? Any guy who's going to be with me from this day forward has to understand that."

She won't say whether that guy could be John Mayer, 29, with whom she's been linked off and on since the summer.

"I want to tell you everything, but I have to sew my lips together," she says. "It's hurt me in the past." (Still, a glimpse of her e-mail inbox reveals a block of about 10 e-mails from Mayer, including one with the subject line, "Texas girl.")

When the interviewer comments, "I feel that with this new privacy of yours, I'm going to wake up one morning, pick up the paper and read . . . " Simpson interjects: "That I'm married! Maybe."

Asked if she's "totally in love right now," Simpson grins and says, "I didn't say yes."

If she's taking pains to keep her love life low-profile, it's because of the tabloid firestorm set off by her split from Lachey after they'd revealed the inner workings of their marriage on Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica.

"I let people in on who I am and how I react to my husband," Simpson says. "That's a big deal. Celebrities don't do that.

So I think they brought me down just because I stopped talking and because I have not spoken â€" and will not speak â€" about my divorce. And I think people feel like I owe them my reality right now."

She will say, though, that she thought there was hope for her marriage up until a few days before she and Lachey announced their split. So what changed?

"I watched The Notebook on a plane home to Waco to be with my grandparents," she says. "It's a great love story."

The movie itself, she says, was "not what sealed it. I just figured out the statement. It was about that moment of desperation. I needed to breathe."

Drew Barrymore has made her last romantic comedy, because they don't test her as an actress.

The former wild child is now looking for more challenging roles, after starring in Music And Lyrics with Hugh Grant. She explains,

"It is time to get it touch with a different side of myself - the one that is mature, adult and dramatic. "I do want to be a 'woman' woman rather than a young woman. And so it's time to say goodbye to the whole rom-com thing. Thank god."

The actress has appeared in a number of rom-coms in recent years including NEVER BEEN KISSED, 50 FIRST DATES and WEDDING SINGER.

Good luck.

Everyone's talking about the hottest hookup in South Beach. Looks like Jessica Biel is out of the picture and Scarlett Johanson is back on with Justin Timberlake.

Last night Scarlett went out to the CAA party at Miami hot spot Mokai where she was spotted partying with Justin Timberlake's best friend Trace Ayala and his crew.

Kid Rock and Matt Leinart both tried picking up on Scarlett but she didn't seem the least bit interested. Although Justin was not at the party, the two eventually met up later on in the night.

Our Hollyscoop snoopers spotted Justin leaving Scarlett's bungalow at the Shoreclub hotel around 7am.

This came out like Friday. Still noteworthy.
On the Hollywood body type:

In this industry it's my job to look a certain way or whatnot-and it's weird for me too. But I'm much happier to represent this type of person. I'm not Nicole Richie. I'm not like a toothpick, and I never will be.
