Hilary Duff Runs Into Ex Benji on TRL

Well color this moment awkward when Hilary Duff, while co-hosting MTV's Total Request Live, ran smack into her ex Joel Madden who was there to perform with Good Charlotte.

"It was a little strange at first, but I wish nothing but good for him and I know that he wishes the same for me," Duff told PEOPLE. "I'm happy and he's happy and I think that's all that counts."

Madden has been dating Nicole Richie, and things are supposedly serious enough between the lovebirds that reports say they are to be married soon in Mexico. Before Nicole, Madden and Duff dated for two and a half years.

I wonder if Hil will be getting the sonn-to-be-newlyweds anything they registered for....

Punk Rock Singer Held for Stabbing Death

The lead singer of now defunct punk rock group Mest, Tony Lovato, is being held on suspicion of murder, after police say he confessed to the stabbing of his ex's new lover.

Tony Lovato, 26, was held on $1 million bail after telling police that he was assaulted earlier in the day by Wayne Hughes, 25, in the underground parking lot of an apartment building in the suburb of Studio City.

"At some point, Mr. Lovato produced a knife and the victim was stabbed," said Lt. Andrew Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Dept. "He has been booked for criminal homicide."

Neiman said police had been called to the apartment the night before following a report of an altercation between the two, but no arrests were made.

Mest, which formed in suburban Chicago, recorded four albums for Madonna's Maverick Records before breaking up in early 2006. Its last album, 2005's "Photographs," peaked at No. 116 on the U.S. album charts.

Lovato's band, Mest, was formed in 1996, by Lovato and his cousin Matt. Tony's brother Steve played guitar for the band, but left after a short time due to creative differences. Before their breakup in 2006, Mest also collaborated with Benji Madden of Good Charlotte, who performed on one of their albums.
