I’ll never look at you the same way again, Chace.

Chace Crawford learned about the birds and bees from a a surprising source: Shauna Sand!

Four years before Gossip Girl brought him instant stardom, the 18-year-old hunky college freshman had a steamy, sex-filled romance with model/actress Shauna, the ex-wife of Lorenzo Lamas and May 1996 Playmate who is 14 years his senior!

“He was so incredibly beautiful — I immediately fell in love with him!” Shauna tells Star exclusively about meeting Chase at a college party in Malibu. The couple began dating “and I even gave him a key to my apartment,” Shauna said.

0They quickly wore out a path to the bedroom. And though Chace has said he dated a girl for three years while in high school, a friend tells Star: “Chace told me, ‘Shauna was the first girl I ever had sex with! She blew my mind, and I’ll never forget it!’”

Although the friend says Chace and Shauna had a “secret relationship,” the couple dated off and on for a year before they drifted apart. Chace eventually got his acting career off the ground and Shauna remarried. But, in 2007, after Shauna’s brief second marriage ended, Chace suddenly appeared in her life again and the spark was reignited!

On creating pop music:

“I don’t know if you know, but I’m not exactly Bob Dylan – I’m already a pop musician…I want to reach as many people as possible…I don’t mind compromising.”

On people hating him:

“What if I had a booth on the street and I said, ‘Attention everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I’m ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon…I will only be speaking to people who not like me. Come out and let me have it.’ How many people do you think would be standing there?…Ze-ro.”

During the interview (in its December issue) conducted at L.A.’s star hangout Chateau Marmont, Mayer, 32, encounters Butler at a nearby table and strikes up a private 20 minute conversation. Gerard Butler had been briefly linked to Mayer’s ex-girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.

When the Details writer asks about the chat, Mayer says, “We talked about New York . . .We’re in a bit of the same position of being branded womanizers.”

Mayer then opens up a tad about the famous women he’s dated, suggesting that the heart wants what it wants:

“You just never know who’s going to come into your life,” he says. “To my mind, the only thing sicker than saying, ‘Wow, you’re a famous person and it would do a lot for my career to go out with you,’ is to say, ‘Wow, you’re a famous person and I like you and all, but I can’t do that to my career.’ I don’t think either of those is a good option.”

The profile also details the musician’s myriad collections: watches, guitars, cars, Leica cameras, even women’s leather bags. Explains Mayer: “I have the obsessiveness of someone who’s a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction . . . Except I never had the addiction.” He adds self-consciously: “I’ve never done anything because I thought it would look cool.”

Hours after ABC pulled the plug on Adam Lambert’s Good Morning America performance, Ryan Seacrest exclusively spoke to the Idol runner up who shocked audiences Sunday night at the AMAs with a sexually charged performance.

Check out the following quotes from the revealing interview:

On his racy AMA performance:

“It’s choreography, we were dancing. The sexuality of it kind of got a little more extreme when I got up on stage. I think the adrenaline kind of took me over, and I admit it, and i’m proud of the fact that I did get a little carried away.”

“I don’t feel I owe anyone an apology for anything. I performed, it was late night TV, I did something that female performers have been doing for years, no different. It’s just the fact that I’m me and it’s a little different for people. It’s really not that big of a deal.”

“I’m not a babysitter, I’m a performer.”

On the appearance of a double standard:

“I do think there’s a slight double standard. We’ve seen female pop performers doing extremely sexual routines for years and all of the sudden a guy does it and it’s crazy.”

On ABC’s decision to cancel his GMA performance:

“Obviously I respect their decision, they gotta do what they gotta do. It’s too bad, I think there were a lot of fans who were excited to come see me.”

“They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who weren’t happy about it. I respect their decision – I don’t necessarily agree with it, but they need to do what they need to do.”

Nicole Richie took to her website today to thank her fans for supporting her, while she’s at home recuperating from pneumonia!

I’d like to thank you all for the kind words and well wishes over the past few weeks. I wish I could have been there for the Bebe-House of Harlow 1960 evening. I was truly looking forward to meeting everyone there and sharing that moment and capsule collection with you. I am also disappointed I wasn’t able to attend the Holt-Renfrew Calgary opening. I heard the store looks beautiful and Holt has been such an amazing partner over the past year. I will definitely be back in the Spring when Winter Kate launches.

Right now it’s important for me to stay in bed and recover. Reading all of your messages on Twitter and my website has really brightened my spirits and I am so grateful for the support. I look forward to seeing you all very soon and wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

Peace & Love,
Nicole
