Less than a month into their relationship, Brody Jenner (from Princes of Malibu) and Lauren "L.C." Conrad (from Laguna Beach and The Hills) have split up. "We're not together anymore," Jenner told a source on Thursday at the launch party for the new furniture collection at Minotti in Los Angeles (Not another furniture launch party! God it seems like I have to turn down at least two of these a week.):

The news was echoed by his mother, Linda Thompson, who told PEOPLE at the Environmental Media Awards last week, "I think Brody's pretty single right now. He's on his way to Miami. Bikinis, thongs. I think he'd better be single right now."

I think this article may have confused Brody's Mother with one of his male friends. Because no [sober] Mom I know encourages her son to break up with his girlfriend so he can bang more women. That's something the little red devil sitting on your shoulder tells you (he usually tells me to burn things and hurt animals). Moms are supposed to tuck you in at night and remind you about wearing your seatbelt. They shouldn't even hint that you have a penis.
