From the wilds of New Jersey, Life & Style bravely steps forward to continue reporting on the broken engagement of Nicole Richie and DJ AM. When it comes to revealing who dumped whom, real journalists work through the tears:

One pal told Life & Style that Nicole had still been working on wedding plans on the very day the breakup became official. "They re so cute together, and she had been so excited about the wedding," says the friend.

Nicole and AM s friends and family have been alarmed by her recent, rapid weight loss, and her father, famed singer Lionel Richie, has publicly expressed concern that his daughter is so thin, citing stress as the reason.

Oh, tragically frail Nicole. We're going to have to put the poor thing on watch; to win AM back, she just might do something stupid. In a fit of hysterics, she'll crawl to Carl's Jr. and, as she weepily orders her meal, she'll curse Paris Hilton and beg for forgiveness. And as Nicole shoves that $6 burger into her distended belly, her body will go into shock and we'll inevitably find her days later, slumped over a formica bench, her once-lithe body smeared with ketchup and left for dead.

In the game of love, nobody wins.
