You can now forget you ever heard the name Riley Giles.

Lindsay Lohan’s rehab distraction of a boyfriend has ridden his set of coattails as far as they are going to take him. According to People.com (hi, Suzy!), Lindsay and Riley broke up just after he went home with the starlet for Thanksgiving.

“They’re over – they’ve broken up,” a source blabbed. “She is concentrating on her life and her career,” another pal said.

Interestingly enough, Lindsay was out and about the other night with sometimes boy toy and Paris Hilton ex Stavros Niarchos. Hmmm…

Was Conan O’Brien afraid his staff would leave him for David Letterman?

Maybe — or he’s just a good guy, like Dave. The talk show host has decided to pay the 80 people on his staff, now that the NBC checks have run out and the writers are still on strike. The network was paying the Late Night with Conan O’Brien non-writers through the end of the month, which is today, but nobody is going to starve, as Conan will be picking up the tab for the foreseeable future. This comes just a few weeks after David Letterman promised it would be a merry Christmas for his peeps, offering to pay their salaries at least through the end of the year.

Those late night guys — what sweeties.

Have any experience editing videos or short films? No?

Who cares? It’s for a Britney Spears video!!

Even though Brit has already shot a music video for her next single, “Piece of Me,” the Britster is teaming up with MTV to launch a contest called “Britney Spears Wants Piece of You,” to let her fans try to make something better.

MTV will release previously recorded footage of Brit (I wonder if the VMAs will make it in) and contestants will have to create a three-and-a-half minute music video out of it.

Get your entries in by Dec. 14. when MTV, Jive Records and Britney will decide who reigns supreme. The winning video will appear on TRL on Dec. 20.

Let your creative juices flow and try and impress Britney. How hard could that be — she married Kevin Federline?

List time!

I hope Reese Witherspoon pays for at least some of her dates with Jake Gyllenhaal, as the mom of two has just been named the highest paid female actress by the Hollywood Reporter. In their new “Women in Entertainment: Power 100″ issue, Reese, who rakes in $15-$20 million per flick, just beat out Angelina Jolie who makes almost as much, Cameron Diaz, who averages $15 mil, followed by Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellwegger.

By the way, these are just averages — Cam reportedly made $30 million for the third Shrek!

These ladies have cash!
