Though millions of Australians were ready to wail in the streets at the rumoured news that Sophie "Motorcycle Dance" Monk and Benji "The Slightly Fatter And More Tattooed One" Madden were about to split, the country can breathe a collective sigh of relief - it is not so!
In a statement to US Magazine, the couple's publicist wrote: "As Nicole Richie and Joel Madden anticipate the birth of their first child, a rep for Madden's rocker brother, Benji, confirms that, despite reports of a split, his romance is still going strong.Evidently this is such a cause for celebration that News Ltd created a slideshow to the effect of providing reverence for our greatest celebrity coupling since Tom and Nicole - which we give thanks for, as it allows us all to bask in the glory of this:"In response to recent rumors that the couple had broken up, Good Charlotte's rep tells Us: "Benji Madden and Sophie Monk are together and very happy."

For which, we should all give solemn thanks.

In a mind-warping instance of teen-sex-comedy art imitating life, actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who played Superbad's McLovin, aka the Crown Prince of Fake-Hawaiian-I.D.-Brandishing Illicit Alcohol-Procuring Activities, was spotted by the staff at New York's Diner restaurant: "[One of the friends] had ordered a Stella and wine for himself and [McLovin] was drinking it. I was like, 'I think that guy's 17 years old -- you're going to be written up.' He came in again the next night, and I said, 'I think that guy's McLovin -- you should card him,' and the same thing happened: His buddy asked for the drink for him." [
