Pippa Middleton Is Single Again

Now is the time for you to book a plane ticket to the UK and take your shot, because Pippa Middleton and her almost-award-winning rear end are single once again. Her Royal Hotness broke up with former cricketer Alex Loudon following weeks of fighting, reports the Sun. (Actually, the Sun put it this way: "Kate sis gives boyfriend Alex the bum's rush." Get it?!) They’ve split before, but this time it’s for real, a source says: "They are barely speaking." The Telegraph’s sad footnote: Just three weeks ago, it was rumored Loudon was looking at engagement rings.

Fortunately, Pippa has big sis Kate and her royal hubby to comfort her; the source says she spent last weekend with them at Balmoral. As for Harry, one recent row involved him: "Alex was jealous of Pippa flirting with Prince Harry," the source explains. "But the truth is she and Harry are just mates." Which means there is hope for you! If you’re making travel plans at this very moment, one last piece of advice from a friend of Pippa’s: "She's always gone for sporty guys. Whoever is lucky enough to win her affections will have to be athletic." (More Pippa Middleton stories.)
