Patty Hearst Wins Best of Opposite Sex at Westminster Kennel ClubTo be fair, it was really her French bulldog Shann’s Legally Blonde that won the red ribbon. But Patricia was by her side the whole time, cheering her on and doing that thing where you pull the dog’s legs back so it looks sexier when it stands. The pooch won Best of Opposite Sex, which is basically like second place, in the French bulldog breed. When most people think of Patricia Hearst, they think of her days with the Symbionese Liberation Army, back in the seventies, when she was kidnapped and then brainwashed into joining forces with her captors. But we can only think of her as the lady who brought us model Lydia Hearst! Lydia was strutting her stuff in front of crowds way before this Shann’s Legally Blonde character was even a twinkle in some stud’s eye. But now they’re competing for headlines and Patricia’s attention. We know where this is going Shann’s Legally Blonde is probably calling Cisco Adler’s publicist as we speak.

The Last Days of LydiscoYou know how you start sleeping with someone, and then one day, all of a sudden, he completely grosses you out and you have to immediately break up with him, and maybe even pretend it never happened? We call this Sudden Revulsion Syndrome, and we think Lydia Hearst must have gotten a strong case of it regarding her BF Cisco Adler. It seems like mere weeks ago that Lydia and the large-balled Whitestarr front man were making out at the Box, and freaking each other in L.A. on Halloween, and Lydia was gushing that their relationship was “a whole other form of creation.” But a socialite’s love is fleeting. “Page Six” this morning reports that Lydia was overheard saying, “I’m so single!” this past weekend, and her rep tells the Post, “they were never really boyfriend-girlfriend.” Ouch. We’re not too worried about Cisco though. We feel he’ll bounce back. In fact, after the jump, our suggestions of ladies he could start being spotted canoodling with.
