WTF! VIVICA FOX'S BOY TOY PLAYS KIDDIE GAMES!

We've heard of Dear John letters, but a "Dear Vivica" press release?
Friends of "Kill Bill" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Vivica A. Fox are talking about her much younger club-promoter boyfriend Slimm's decision to break up - then make up - with the sexy cougar via a series of press releases.

As Fox tells us in an email: "Luv is crazy sometimes!"

On Wednesday, the single-named Slimm, the Atlanta-based co-founder of Plush Blue Entertainment, sent out a release stating that he and Fox were finished.

"Hey this is Slimm, unfortunately me and Vivica are no longer dating," read the promoter's pronouncement. "After eight months, it's time to go our separate ways. In life you can love and have chemistry with a person, but flaws can sometimes outweigh the relationship. I wish her the best and I know she feels the same. Thanks."

A source close to the situation tells us that Slimm's decision to send out the first release to a number of ­media outlets was prompted by an argument he had with Fox, 46, who has been commuting from her home in L.A. to Atlanta to make time with her young beau, who's not even 30.

But not even 24 hours later, Slimm had a change of heart and sent out a second release to announce he and Fox were working it out.

"I want to clear the air about the rushed statement released yesterday about Vivica and I breaking up. Sometimes a person may act out of anger," he explained, and then apologized for "overreacting instead of letting time take its course."

According to Slimm, he and Foxx, who was previously married to singer Christopher (Sixx-Nine) Harvest (they divorced in 2002) and briefly dated rapper 50 Cent, had been making "fast and unplanned decisions."

"Vivica is an important part of my life and I would never try to hurt her," he concluded. "Thanks for supporting us as we figure things out."

When we contacted Fox for comment, the former "Dancing With the Stars" contender took her beau's tantrum in stride. "Slimm and I r fine!" she emails us. "All relationships have their ups and their downs." She continues, "I'm soo proud that Slimm was man enough to clear up the air" via the second press release.

"He is a very good man with a great heart!" wrote Fox, now touring in the play "Cheaper to Keep Her."

And, we'd add, a bright future in self-promotion.
