While West Virginia University students are busy studying and writing 20-page papers in the weeks leading up to finals, celebrities have been busy partying in VIP rooms in all the hottest clubs and talking about how stupid we nobodies are for reading gossip magazines. That being said, let me give you the latest scoop o' beans.

Lauren Conrad, the Teen Vogue intern sweetheart from ''The Hills,'' was spotted outside Les Deux in Los Angeles with ''American Idol'' contestant/Justin Timberlake wannabe Chris Richardson Friday night. TMZ has an exclusive video of Conrad talking on her cell phone, stating, ''I'm so mad at you right now, hurry up.'' Richardson then appears, Conrad smiles, and the two walk into the club.

In the past, Conrad has been linked to bratty rich boys Brody Jenner and Jason Wahler (who was just arrested for the fourth time in nine months, for those who haven't been keeping up). Maybe things will work out with this new down-to-earth, middle-class fella, and she'll spoil him like a new puppy. If he shows up next week with diamond-encrusted dog tags, Conrad is to blame.

What caused these two giants of reality television to get together? Richardson must have shown up to ''comfort'' Conrad after the news of a sex tape featuring her and Wahler surfaced.

That's so sweet. I've never had anyone famous tell me that I'm smart before. I'm actually blushing right now. It's going to take days to wipe this smile off my face. But I'm really going to have to call her and explain to her that my name isn't pronounced America. You know what, it's cool. My name is hard to spell so I can understand it being hard to pronounce. If Brit wants to call me America, that's fine.

n Wrigley (as in Juicy Fruit and DoubleMint gum) recently surveyed college students across the country to find out who they would pick as a celebrity study buddy, according to TMZ.com.

First place went to presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama with 17 percent. Second place was Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert with 15 percent. Oprah Winfrey came in third, with 11 percent, and Scarlett Johansson finished fourth with 10 percent.

I can understand Obama and Colbert -- they are both intelligent men. Oprah would probably be the bossy group leader/overachiever who ends up doing all the work because she thinks no one else knows what he or she is doing. Johansson? Obviously she's just there for looks. I'm sure she's somewhat smart, but that†™s not why she's on the list.
