The party is over for the very hip couple Petra Nemcova and James Blunt, People magazine confirmed exclusively on Tuesday. The two, who had been dating for just over a year, "split in February. It's very amicable," said a source close to Blunt. The last time the model and singer were spotted together was when they hit the Oscar party circuit, including the Elton John viewing party where Blunt performed. In March, however, the musician has become a regular fixture in the L.A. nightlife scene as a solo artist. On the 21st, he was spotted at the club Les Deux with recently rehabbed Lindsay Lohan. According to an eyewitness "Lindsay and James were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing next to each other and constantly talking." The two did leave together with a few other people at about 2 a.m. Lohan is fresh out of rehab and already connected in the most recent high-profile split. Somehow she manages to be everywhere. This was the first serious relationship for Nemcova since she lost her longtime boyfriend, photographer Simon Atlee, during the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand. The model survived by clinging to a tree for eight hours with her most serious injury being a broken pelvis. After surviving something so tragic, there is no question that Nemcova will be able to rebound from this split.

Lucas Alexander Conrod is "out" - excuse the obvious pun. Project Runway judge and Elle magazine fashion director Nina Garcia gave birth to her first son with husband David Conrad Saturday. Garcia's rep said that both mother and child were doing very well. Garcia is best known for her role on the designer competition while her husband is a senior managing director at Guggenheim Capital. When Garcia spoke to People in October, she joked that "this baby must have some amazing fashion sense, waiting until empire waists and volume came back into fashion."

On Monday Anna Nicole Smith's toxicology report was released and revealed that there was no foul play. The combination of nine separate drugs spurred her overdose, according to Broward County medical examiner Dr. Joshua Perper. Without getting too complex, six of the medications were sedatives, two worked as hypnotics, and one treated warts. In her final days, Smith began having chills, vomiting, and having fevers as high as 105 degrees. Clare Waismann, executive director of the Waismann Method and Registered Addiction Specialist spoke to US Weekly about Smith's death. She stated that there were apparent alert signs before her death. "Her having access to that many drugs was absurd. She needed to be in a safe environment," she said. It seems that this part of the Smith controversy may be over.
