Rihanna: "I Do Not Hook Up"

altWhew! Call off the douche bag rebound alert.  We were agita about Rihanna's questionable association with the likes of Bromancers Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado. But Page Six reports that Delgado planted some of those rumors himself to boost his own celebrity. Because you know what's always a great thing to do to a girl who just got out of an abusive relationship? Immediately exploit her so you can score chicks at the club.  Jay-Z would like a word with you, bro . . .

Engaged? Not engaged? After Bar Refaeli was snapped wearing a gold ring on the Mrs. finger, speculation spread like wild fire that she and squeezeLeonardo DiCaprio were engaged or already married. Radar says they are, but Us Weekly says they're not.  They're like Giseleand Tom Brady all over again.

*Footloose producers are considering swapping one pretty tween-throb for another. After original pick Zac Efron exited stage left, Gossip Girl cutie Chace Crawford cut loose, footloose and tested for the part over the weekend  And why not. He's got the same wispy, blond-ish, blue-eyed androgyny as Zac. We're sure Zac would be happy to lend Chace his flat iron and styling products. A source says Chace "did
really well" but let's face it, all he really needs to do is look hot in tight jeans and a tee.

*The success of Slumdog Millionaire has inspired more than a Pussycat Doll Bollywood vid. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are rumored to be eyeing India as the next possible place to add to their ever-expanding brood of moppets. The scoop comes courtesy of one of the Slumdog kids who asked her about it at the Oscars. Looks like the $250K E! donated to Brangelina's foundation wasn't enough to buy Ryan Seacrestthe inside skinny.  Give that kid a job!

*Drew Barrymore is starring alongside ex (maybe? maybe not?) Justin Long in a romcom called Going the Distance.  Evidently they've ripped a page from LeAnn Rimes' made-for-TV affair script to make us wonder if they're really together.

*And here we thought their relationship would bomb like Glitter but Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon made it to their one-year anniversary (shock!). To mark the "who would have thunk it?" occasion, Nick bought his boo a Jack Russell Terrier. Guess he was lonely being the only pampered pet.  Puppies are cute and all, but if he really loved her, he would have gotten her a rainbow unicorn or decorated a room in their house in Hello Kitty.  Oh wait . . .
