They said it wouldn't last, and it didn't: The whirlwind shomance that was celebrity socialite

Paris Hilton

and TV star

Doug Reinhardt

is officially over.

The heirhead celebutante and her former

The Hills

star have pulled the plug on their six-month fling, according to

People.com

Lock up your sons

"

In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy

," Hilton's rep told

People

magazine.

So Hilton's back on the market after nearly six months of dating a man who she, only a few weeks ago, gushed that he made her "

so happy

" and glow on the inside. Put it this way, she was practically naming his love child.

"I am so happy with Doug right now," she said. "He is my real best friend. He is amazing, smart, sexy and fun too. I'm so happy."

She also declared how she was keen to marry Reinhardt. "He's going to be my husband," she said.

But, alas, their hearts weren't destined to beat as one, and it's all over faster than a showbiz minute.

Snitches speculate that some serious drama must have gone down for the pair to call it quits. Initial conjecture nods to Hilton being the dumper, and poor "devastated" Reinhardt being left to lick his wounds.

Gossip queen

Perez Hilton

claims that insiders have revealed to him "exclusively" *cough* that on Tuesday night a "distraught Doug showed up at Paris' house after getting into a fight, only to be turned away."

"Paris lives in a gated community and the guards were told not to let him in," a snitch tells Perez. "Doug refused to leave, though. The authorities had to be called!"

But while Hilton may be crying into her cauldron, friends and family are no doubt doing the Highland Fling upon hearing the break-up news. It's been widely reported that those closest to her had warned Hilton that Reinhardt was only with her to pump up his profile, and that he cared more for the cameras than her.

"Paris hopes they can have a clean split and he will be gentlemanly about it," the snitch adds.

Hilton on her conquests:

On Reinhardt

"He makes me feel like I've never felt before. Everything he does is romantic. He's amazing and we're really happy. He's beautiful, he's smart, he's well-educated and he treats me like a princess. We're just very much alike."

On Benji Madden:

"I've never felt so happy and in love, he's such an amazing guy and life has never been better."

We sense a theme developing here

On Jason Shaw:

"He's amazing. We are very close and he lives next to me. We were very young when we were engaged. But maybe we'll see what happens. "I don't know (if we'll get back together), maybe. I don't know yet. I love him. I could see myself being with someone like Jason forever. He doesn't care about money. He loved me. Who knows what'll happen."

Hilton's obviously got a whole lotta lovin' to give, but she's constantly looking for love in all the wrong places. Who knows, maybe Hilton's track record of dating Mr. Manthrax will one day be broken and she'll learn to spot the difference between a love boat and a titanic.

But as

this great philosopher

once observed, "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they are supposed to run wild, until they find someone, just as wild to run with."

Yeah, right!

UPDATE:

E! reports that Reinhardt may have been dumped via Hilton's publicist. When the website contacted the fella for comment, he said: "No, that's not true. Everything is OK between us."

And as one door slams shut on a flat lined romance, another bursts wide open.

Step forward pop princess

Britney Spears

and her talent agent

Jason Trawick

.

Rumours have been rife for months that Britney "she's got your crazy" Spears has secretly been dating William Morris agent Trawick, and now snitches reveal that the pair are about to "go public" with their union.

Brit Brit's people had previously given the romance rumours the kiss of death, and they've yet to comment on the latest rumbles.

"They are totally and definitely dating," a snitch tells

People

.

Daddy approves

Furthermore, even Spears' dad

Jamie

approves of her choice of bloke and thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread.

"Her dad loves him. He's the best thing that happened to her."

"They're very sweet together," the snitch says, adding that Spears "always had a crush" on Trawick - a childhood pal of the singer's brother

Bryan

.

"He makes Britney really happy, and he's great with the boys."

Fuelling talk of the love interest, the

Chicago Sun-Times

quotes a Spears source as saying: "This is all about Britney finally growing up ... recognizing she needs a mature guy in her life."

Spears reportedly fell for Trawick after he helped put her career back on track.

"Britney feels this is the first time a guy truly is interested in her for her, not just her money - even though he is an agent! - since Jason was already a success on his own. That's unlike every other guy who has been in Britney's life personally before, with the obvious exception of Justin [Timberlake]," a snitch said.

"After Kevin [Federline] and [Sam] Lutfi ... Jason is certainly a huge improvement."

They're not wrong there. Let's hope Trawick isn't a trainwreck.

Sticking to Brit Brit. Several of her disgruntled fans have contacted us to express their outrage over their idol's apparent New Zealand snub. Despite expressing her glee over

bringing her Circus act to Australia in November

, she currently has no plans to bring her troupe to New Zealand.

Spears' Kiwi fans are not happy campers. They've created a slice of cyberspace dedicated to petitioning the singer to consider hopping over the proverbial ditch to entertain the massess with her miming.

The

petition

had a measly 117 signatures on last inspection. You'll have to shout louder than that, guys.
