Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner Split

Us Weekly reports:

Nicole Richie's rep confirms, "Nicole and Brody are no longer dating but remain close friends." A source says that Richie initiated the breakup today at Jenner's home in Malibu and that both Jenner, 23, and Richie, 25, agreed it was best to part ways.

"Nicole just wants to be single right now," says the source. "She felt it was a mistake to jump into a relationship so soon after her breakup with AM." Richie and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein split in May of this year after a nine-month engagement.

UPDATE: Bones posted this in response on her myspace:

I know there are rumors regarding my "breakup" with Brody Jenner. The truth is, we were never really together. We hung out, and he's a nice guy, but my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity.

Someone needs to explain Nicole's myspace message to me. Isn't weighing 76 pounds a cry for publicity? Does the poster child for anorexia think she's a credible source?
