We're told when Jennifer Aniston is single, she likes having someone (i.e., a guy) to lean on, or at least be photographed with. Pretty ironic, since when she's really with someone she becomes virtually invisible.

With John Mayer out of the picture, she went out last night with former co-star Paul Rudd, who's married with children. Purely platonic, but still interesting.

The guy who plays Darryl on "The Office" has just copped a plea in his hardcore drug case.
We've learned Craig Robinson has just entered a "tentative guilty plea" to possession of ecstasy, a felony. The other charges against him were dismissed outright. Cops said he had meth and ecstasy on him and had cocaine and amphetamines in his system when he was busted in Culver City in June.
Robinson will enter a drug counseling program and if he completes it in 18 months, the guilty plea will be withdrawn and dismissed and he'll be back to work at the Scranton Warehouse. And he won't have a conviction on his record.
Robinson really dodged a serious bullet, thanks to Blair Berk, who could win gold if lawyering were an Olympic sport. We learned Robinson was on probation for a DUI he got in 2006. But here's the deal ... since he's already completed the terms of probation for that case, it's highly unlikely prosecutors will go in for the kill and ask the judge in that case to drop the hammer.
Berk told TMZ, "Mr. Robinson really appreciates and takes seriously the opportunity which has been given to him by the court and the prosecution to have all of the charges against him dismissed, upon successful completion of a counseling program."
That's what she said.

Vegas probably has 50-50 odds Amy Winehouse will check into rehab at any given moment -- but we're hearing you'd lose that bet today.
Winey's people have cracked down on reports that the undone Londoner is holed up in a rehab facility getting clean (and we mean more than a good wash).
Amy's rep told us: "The recent stories about Amy going into rehab near Blake's prison are not true."

Despite the injured hand, a shirtless Shia LaBeouf has never looked better.

While out in Malibu, Shia showed off his ripped, toned and barefoot physique.
Flipping your car in the middle of the night does (some parts of) the body good!

Kim Kardashian may have a hard enough time spelling USC -- even though her man Reggie Bush is a legend there -- but last night she was rocking the cardinal and gold to CoCo De Ville, the one place she's fully qualified to get into.

Jonas Brothers, meet jumpable shark.
That's the buzz after flaccid first-week sales of "A Little Bit Longer," which, according to Billboard, fell short of the big numbers. The projections were for 600k-plus and as many as 725, but they came in at 515,000.
In the perspective department, Lil' Wayne did well over a mil in the first week, but Jordin Sparks -- she won "American Idol," memba? Her grand total -- 119,000.

Isaiah Washington was rocking a pimp suit and a badass swagger outside the Viper Room -- but any street cred he had was automatically vaporized with one look at the game-killing tupperware in his left hand.

Dude, just because Diddy did it, doesn't mean it's O.K.

Not everybody likes the new low-key Britney Spears -- especially her obnoxiously demanding fan base.

A few gals were pissed after Brit refused to pose for a photo for them -- while waiting in traffic! Though hearing one of the 'em scream, "Why's she being such a bitch?" probably didn't help their cause.

Country star Pat Green wanted a beer on stage the other night -- he got one, all right.
Green was singin' after a NASCAR race Saturday when he asked all his rowdy friends, "Anyone got a beer?" Well, someone delivered a full unopened can -- right between his eyes. Michigan state troopers say he was knocked out cold, but his rep says that just a bunch of suds.
No one gets knocked out by a beer can these days without somebody catching it on video. So far, we haven't seen any ... but we'd like to!

Five out of five dentists say Michael Phelps is all wet -- when it comes to his choice of breakfast cereal.
Health experts are going nuts because Mikey likes Frosted Flakes, and is going to be on the FF box rather than a Wheaties box, like pretty much every other big-shot athlete. They're all up in arms because Flakes has three times as much sugar as Wheaties and only a fraction of the fiber. Not so grrrrrreat after all?!
We've put in a call to the Wheaties peeps, but haven't heard back yet.
