Show Gets You Breaking Dawn Part

Do You Have ‘Twilight’ Acting Chops?: Germany is launching a new reality show called “Mission Hollywood,” where 12 young actresses will compete in a series of screen challenges to win a role in a forthcoming “Twilight” movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As part of the competition, the would-be Bellas will have recreate iconic scenes from Hollywood hits like “Misery,” “9 1/2 Weeks” and “Dirty Dancing.” We’re not sure how learning to do dance lifts in the middle of a lake will help would-be vampires, but we’d sure tune in (if we lived in Germany)!

Rob Acts for Pretty Girls

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
In a new interview with “Twilight Saga” star Robert Pattinson, the sexy actor told the UK’s Independent that he got into the profession for the ladies.
“[My dad] saw a bunch of pretty girls who were going to it,” Robert said of getting his start in amateur productions at the Barnes Theatre Company. “[He] said: ‘Hey Rob, you’ve got to go to that.’ That’s the reason I still do it!”
And though he’s been linked to a number of Hollywood stars – including “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart, who he was reportedly spotted holding hands with last week – he told the newspaper the rumors are just that.
“Every single person who they sort of romantically link me to… I just don’t even really know anyone. So it doesn’t really affect me that much,” he said, adding about Kristen, “I don’t understand where that even comes from.”
Instead, it’s adoring fans who have been falling for him and his “Twilight” character, the vampire Edward Cullen.
“It’s a weird experience,” he said. “You do tend to start getting a little bit paranoid about stuff. Looking around when you’re walking down the street, in case you get mobbed by teenage girls!”
He’s now filming the next chapter in the “Twilight” series, “New Moon,” and he said he’s noticed a change since “Twilight” launched him into stardom.
“So many people have watched ‘Twilight’ or heard about it, you can be sitting anywhere and the chances are someone will come up and recognize you,” he said.
And as for his latest role, as Salvador Dali in “Little Ashes,” he found one thing in common between the surrealist painter and Edward’s centuries-old vampire.
“I think both of them were terrified,” he said, noting the complicated relationship between Edward and Bella, the human girl he falls for. “Especially Dali. He had so many sexual hang-ups. He was crippled by so many different things.”

Jacob Wolf scares Peter

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Taylor Lautner’s hard work in the gym bulking up to play a werewolf in “New Moon” appears to have paid off – he’s scaring his co-stars.
Access Hollywood caught up with “New Moon” star Peter Facinelli, who plays vampire Dr. Cullen, at the “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” premiere in LA Monday night where he admitted his newfound fear of Taylor.
“He scares me now!” Peter joked with Access. “He’s gotten really big and if I saw him in a back alley, I’d probably run!”
And it’s not just Taylor who’s instilling fear in Peter’s heart – the newly cast wolf pack is also wreaking some havoc on the set in Vancouver.
“Werewolves are coming out of the woodwork,” Peter added. “They scare me!”
One group of people who do not send shivers down Peter’s spine are the dedicated Twi-hards, who have been streaming into Vancouver hoping to get a glimpse the cast as they film “New Moon.”
“The fans have been phenomenal, we have fans who just camp out all night long…with sleeping bags!” Peter told Access. “It’s crazy!”

Rob Was Going To Quit

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Robert Pattinson may be famous to millions of “Twilight” fans for playing Edward Cullen, but he almost quit acting before landing the vampire role which made him a star, his director on his latest film, “How To Be,” told People.
“He was thinking about giving up acting,” Oliver Irving told the mag. “Maybe doing music solely when [‘How To Be’] came along.”
“How To Be,” which features Robert in the lead role as a young musician who hires a self-help guru, was filmed before “Twilight.” (The star went on to have an original song, “Never Think,” on the “Twilight” soundtrack.)
“He was looking for something more challenging,” Oliver said, adding that the film, “got him back into the swing of things again.”
He also praised the actor’s musical abilities on the set.
“He downplayed how good he was,” the director said. “A lot of the time he would turn out to have a really good technique and we told him he needed to play it more simply.”
And the handsome star’s musical talent wasn’t the only thing that needed to be downplayed.
“I said, ‘You’re banned from cutting your hair between now and the shoot,’” Oliver said. “We had to give him the most awkward haircut we possibly could, and we cut his trouser length a little bit too high. Things like that played down his apparent good looks.”

Little Ashes & Rock Session

Robert Pattinson Comes Out – In ‘Little Ashes’: In what is sure to divide the Twi-hards, a racy love scene between Robert Pattinson and Javier Beltran from the upcoming “Little Ashes” has been posted on Towleroad.com. Check out Robert and Javier steaming up the big screen,



‘Twilight’ Cast Rocks Out: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner took a break from filming “New Moon” over the weekend to check out the Sam Bradley Band show at Richard’s On Richards in Vancouver, People reported. The Twi-crew enthusiastically watched from the side of the stage. Afterwards the vampire and werewolf gang partied in a suite at the Opus Hotel – and even ordered a late night pizza.

Rob in The Unbound Captives

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Hugh Jackman and “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson are teaming up on screen in the period drama “Unbound Captives,” Variety reported on Wednesday.
The film is the directorial debut of Madeline Stowe, who wrote the script. She reportedly turned down a multi-million dollar deal for the film in 1993 after writing the film as a star vehicle for herself. Rachel Weisz will be playing that role now, the part of a woman whose husband is killed and her two children kidnapped. It is set in 1859.
Hugh is set to play the frontiersman who saves her, while Robert will play her son.
The novice director told the trade paper that Robert committed to the film before “Twilight” made him a star.
“Robert said yes last fall,” Madeline said. “Hugh said yes a couple of weeks ago. I saw three actresses, and knew after meeting with Rachel that she was the person I wanted to hand this role to.”
Madeline was reportedly offered $5 million for the script – an unheard-of sum for a first-time scribe – with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe attached to direct and star, respectively, but she turned down the offer to retain her creative control.
Rachel will next be seen in Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones.”
Robert is currently starring in “Little Ashes” and Hugh is reprising his superhero role in box office smash “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

Fans Howl in Cannes for Rob

CANNES, France --
Robert Pattinson put some bite into the celebrity sightings at the Cannes Film Festival.
The British actor, who shot to heartthrob status last fall as the young stud bloodsucker in the hit vampire romance “Twilight,” stopped by Cannes to talk up the sequel and catch a movie or two. Pattinson said he’s still getting used to the fact that people know him wherever he goes.
“It is still strange,” Pattinson said Tuesday. “I just don’t get the immediate-recognition thing. I was at the Frankfurt airport yesterday, and people just immediately know who you are. It’s never, ‘Are you …?’ It’s just like, ‘Can I have a photo?’”
While at Cannes, Pattinson said he planned to see Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” which is in the festival’s main competition.
He said he has four days of shooting left in Italy next week on “New Moon,” the sequel based on Stephenie Meyers’ best-sellers about a high school girl (Kristen Stewart) who falls for Pattinson’s immortally young vampire.
The producers hired more guards than on “Twilight” to keep onlookers at bay for the “New Moon” shoot, but Pattinson said it turned out to be unnecessary.
“They had tons of security, but then at the end of the day actually, hardly anyone knew where we were shooting,” Pattinson said. “I’m walking around with, like, three guys following me around all the time, and no one ever turned up. There was never any infiltrators.”

Pattinson Confirms Fourth Installment

CANNES, France --
While in Cannes on Tuesday, Robert Pattinson confirmed that there will be a fourth “Twilight” film based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, “Breaking Dawn,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Robert said he is committed to starring in the final outing to date, but doesn’t know when backers Summit Entertainment will begin production because of the actor’s jam-packed shooting schedule.
Robert, who turned 23 last week, will be shooting his final days of “New Moon” in Italy on Friday.
The screen adaptation of “New Moon” will also extend Robert’s role. His character, Edward Cullen, was absent for most of the novel and only appeared as a voice in Bella Swan’s head.
“You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” Robert said.
The vampire franchise has catapulted Robert’s career – and it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Robert will take a few days off after finishing “New Moon” before starting the filming of “Remember Me,” a drama about two lovers.
After the eight-week shoot for “Remember Me,” Robert will take three days off before finishing the third “Twilight” movie, “Eclipse,” in October.

Robert Pattinson Kiss Auctioned For $55,000

CANNES, France --
Millions of “Twilight” fans would die for the chance to kiss Hollywood’s hottest vampire – but would they pay over $56,000 for the opportunity to lock lips with Robert Pattinson?
Two kisses from Robert pulled in quite a hefty sum of money at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2009 benefit auction Thursday night in Cannes, the charity organization confirmed to Access Hollywood.
According to E! Online’s Marc Malkin, who first reported the news of Robert’s pricey smooch, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein reportedly joked that his daughters had changed their last name to Pattinson after seeing “Twilight,” and then asked Pattinson to step up for charity. “
Harvey then suggested auctioning off an opportunity for someone’s daughter to meet and get a kiss on the cheek from Pattinson,” a partygoer revealed.
“There were two bidders who paid 20,000 euros each for their daughters to have that kiss.” Two 20,000-euro kiss from Pattinson is equivalent to around $56,000 U.S. dollars.
“Harvey put him on the spot, in a playful way,” the source said. “And Rob agreed to it in his usual brooding, modest way.”
Other celebrities in attendance at the AIDS benefit included Paris Hilton, Sharon Stone, Josh Hartnett, Elizabeth Hurley, and President Bill Clinton.

Jackson Rathbone Goes Black Metal

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Jackson Rathbone will be sinking his teeth into a new role as a rocker, according to a new report.
The actor, best known for his role as Jasper Hale in the “Twilight Saga,” will reportedly appear in “Lords of Chaos” as former Burzum frontman, Varg Vikernes, in a film chronicling the Norwegian black metal band and music subculture, according to Rolling Stone.
The film, based on the book by the same name, will be directed by Sion Sono, and will focus on the early 1990s black metal subculture, according to Blabbermouth.net.
Rathbone, who plays the most volatile “Twilight” vampire in the Cullen family, will make a shift from one dark character to another in “Lords of Chaos.”
Vikernes is currently serving time for the 1993 murder of fellow musician Oystein Aarseth, the guitarist of the Norwegian band, “Mayhem.” In addition, he also set fire to three churches, Rolling Stone reported.
Vikernes, himself, has not given his support to the project. In 2004, he posted his grievances with the book on the “Burzum” website, calling it “a pool of mud.”
The film starts production this September in Norway.

Andy Samberg On ‘Twilight’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
“Saturday Night Live” star Andy Samberg is more than just a big fan of “Britain’s Got Talent” singer Susan Boyle.
“I love Susan Boyle,” Andy, who will be hosting the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, told E! Online’s Marc Malkin. “I came home pretty intoxicated one night and discovered the ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ clip and watched it like seven times in a row and just bawled. Which I think is probably more indicative to the fact that I’m a little stressed out and I’m not acknowledging it.”
But according to Andy, the emotion wasn’t alcohol-induced.
“I don’t generally just cry when I’m drunk; I get drunk and have fun. But it was a joyful cry. It wasn’t like upset. For some reason, the combination of her voice and that song and the super over-the-top editing of that show really, really struck a chord with me,” he said.
And the comedian admitted he is also a fan of “Twilight.”
“I’ve seen ‘Twilight’ once. But I’ve seen scenes from ‘Twilight’ many times in my dreams. You know what I mean? In a lot of ways I see ‘Twilight’ constantly every day, because once you see it, it stays with you forever.”
But where is his alliance – with Team Edward or Team Jacob?
“Edward all the way,” Andy told E!. “He’s steamy!”
Andy suggested that Sunday night may hold some surprises, including a possible appearance by frequent “SNL” guest and “Motherlover” collaborator Justin Timberlake.
“I’m calling in all the favors I can,” he said, adding about Justin, “We’re trying very hard to deliver on that.”

Kelly hops on the Rob Train

SYDNEY, Australia --
Kelly Clarkson may be a celebrity, but she isn’t above a teen girl-style crush.
During an appearance on Australia’s 2 Day “Kyle and Jackie O Show,” Kelly confirmed she’s got some puppy love for “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson.
“Yes, he’s an attractive guy,” Kelly told the breakfast show hosts. “But I think girls are more so into that whole Dracula bit. It’s very sexy… I don’t know him. I’ve never really seen him in interviews either… [But] yeah, he’s cute.”
While addressing “Twilight” themes, Kelly clarified rumors that she is recording a song for the movie’s follow up, “New Moon,” which hits theaters this fall. The original “American Idol” winner said she wrote a song for fun – “Empty As I Am” — with some friends because of her love for the Stephenie Meyer-penned saga.
“I’m a huge fan of the ‘Twilight’ series. How that [rumor came about] was everybody said, ‘You’re a huge fan of the ‘Twilight’ series, have you written any songs?’ And I ended up saying we did happen to, before they were even looking actually.”
In related news, Kelly also took time to tell the radio DJs that she is fine with her body image, despite criticisms over her curvy shape.
“For seven years it’s been happening so it’s like, ‘OK, Cool, the fat joke,” Kelly said.
When the DJs said they didn’t think Kelly was fat, she agreed.
“I don’t think I am either. I love my body. Obviously I’m very much OK with it,” she said. “I don’t think artists are actually ever the ones that actually have the problem with their weight.. I think it’s more media that have the problem. But I honestly have been getting it for so long, I’m like, ‘Cool.’”
When Kyle, however, revealed he had recently made a comment on the size of Kelly’s bottom, she defended her booty.
“Big a**es are great! Are you kidding?” she laughed. “Move to Texas. People love gudunka-dunk.”

Catherine Proud of Cast

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke may not be directing saga sequel “New Moon,” but she hasn’t forgotten about her former actors.
“I’m so proud of the whole cast,” she told Access Hollywood at the Women In Film 2009 Crystal and Lucy Awards on Friday night. “They’re all getting to do amazing movies. It’s great.”
And it was returning star Taylor Lautner, who bulked up for his bigger role in “New Moon,” who she singled out.
“I think he looks amazing,” she said. “He’s totally worked hard for it so he looked great.”
“Twilight” won big at the MTV Movie Awards on May 31, and the director was excited to see the vampire drama outdo summer blockbuster “The Dark Knight.”
“We even won Best Fight!” she said. “That was pretty cool. We beat Batman and all those movies. I was pretty proud of that.”
The film also won Best Movie, Best Female Performance (Kristen Stewart), Breakthrough Performance Male (Robert Pattinson) and Best Kiss (Kristen and Robert). With its $69 million box office debut, the film also notched the biggest opening ever by a female director – and Catherine said she hoped she’d be able to inspire other women.
“Only seven percent of the movies are directed by women, which is kind of crazy,” she said. “Women go to the movies and they love the films and they’re amazing actors so, you know, we need to change that.”
The director herself said she has three projects lined up and is just waiting for one to get greenlit.
“We just turned in the script today,” she said of a potential next film “It’s a modern rad version of ‘Hamlet’ as a supernatural thriller, starring Emile Hirsch.”

Robert Pattinson wins "Most Handsome Man in the World"

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
In news that Robert Pattinson’s legions of rabid fans have known for some time, the young actor has been dubbed the “Most Handsome Man In The World” in a landslide vote in a recent VanityFair.com poll.
With over 270,000 votes cast, the “Twilight” star has garnered more than half of all the poll clicks on the Web site, making him the king of the Hollywood hunk hill.
In a distant second place, Argentine polo player Nacho Figueras got 15% of the vote, followed closely by Brad Pitt in third, Johnny Depp in fourth and Clive Owen in fifth place.
Other Hollywood’s “Most Handsome…” included in the poll were, Javier Bardem, David Beckham, Gael Garcia Bernal, Tom Brady, George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jakob Dylan, James Franco, Jon Hamm, Hugh Jackman, Taylor Kitsch and Denzel Washington.

Tyra Banks Stalker Sentenced

NEW YORK, New York --
A Georgia man who was convicted of stalking TV host Tyra Banks was sentenced Thursday to a year of probation and ordered to complete a treatment program designed specifically for stalkers.
Brady Green, 39, of Dublin, Ga., must also stay away from the former supermodel for the next two years under an order of protection.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke warned Green that he would face up to 90 days in jail if he disobeys any of the court’s orders.
Green and his lawyer left court without commenting.
Green was convicted in April of stalking Banks from coast to coast — calling her offices, showing up at her TV studios and sending her flowers. Police said he threatened to cut a staffer’s throat for not telling him where Banks was.
When Green was arrested March 18, 2008, at a McDonald’s restaurant near Banks’ Manhattan studio, he told officers they “had a thing together,” police said.
Banks, who did not attend Green’s sentencing, testified during his trial that she feared for her safety, and for that of her staff and family.
The former Sports Illustrated cover girl said that because of Green, her company hired more security staff, her studio audiences are vetted more thoroughly, and security guards follow her everywhere.
Green testified that he was a Banks fan and had been enthusiastic about trying to get tickets for her show. He said his actions had been misunderstood.
But Assistant District Attorney Sean McMahon got Green to admit that he rode a bus for four days from Los Angeles to New York where he had no friends, relatives or job, and the first he thing he did was go to the building that houses Banks’ studio.
Banks is executive producer and host of two popular TV shows, “America’s Next Top Model” and “The Tyra Banks Show.”

Lauren Calls Spencer Out

NEW YORK, New York --
Lauren Conrad gave critics of “The Hills” more ammunition that the MTV reality show is scripted when she revealed during an appearance on Thursday’s “The View” that a very important scene from Season 5 didn’t actually take place the way it played out on the cable channel.
In the run up to May’s season finale, viewers saw Spencer Pratt call up Lauren and apologize for starting sex tape rumors in an attempt to get the young woman to attend his wedding to Heidi Montag. But Lauren revealed to “The View” women that she didn’t receive that phone call.
“To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t on the other line of that call,” Lauren said. “That was filmed and I wasn’t on the other end… So I didn’t even know about it.”
Lauren added that she “didn’t get an apology,” but attended Heidi’s wedding because the two women were once close.
“It’s a little hard to understand now, but a long time ago — years ago, we moved here together, we were best friends and we used to say – ‘Someday, at our wedding…’” Lauren recounted. “I felt like it was a few hours of my time and as much as I didn’t agree with it, I might some day regret not doing it.”
In related news, Stephanie Pratt, the sister of Spencer, recently revealed to Us Weekly that while shooting “The Hills” she became bulimic. And when asked by “The View” ladies about whether the show created body competition, Lauren said she had times where the show made her feel less-than-perfect.
“I don’t think it was so much a competition. You definitely feel self-conscious,” she said. “There [were] definitely times when we would all be at a photo shoot and, I mean, the girls on the show I’m on are in very good shape. I feel like I’m healthy, I work out, I try and eat well, but… you’re always going to be a little bit self-conscious when you’re next to people in a bathing suit.”

Jani Lane Arrested

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Police say they have arrested the lead singer of Warrant on suspicion of drunken driving.
Records show Jani Lane was arrested late Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley. Police say the 45-year-old singer posted $30,000 bail on Thursday.
No other details about his arrest were released Thursday afternoon.
A call to his management was not immediately returned Thursday.
Lane has been the off-and-on frontman for Warrant, which shot to fame in 1990 for its album and iconic music video “Cherry Pie.”

Carly Joins Evanescence

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Carly Smithson is about to become a Fallen “Idol.”
The “American Idol” Season 7 singer has joined with former members of rock band Evanescence to become The Fallen, the Los Angeles Times first reported.
Evanescence sold over 15 million copies of their breakthrough album, “Fallen,” but founding member Ben Moody left the band shortly thereafter, and the act has been on hiatus since the conclusion of its 2007 tour.
The new band includes Moody as well as former members Rocky Gray, John Lecompt and newcomer Marty O’Brian, who was not in Evanescence.
Carly told the Times that the new hard-edged new act is “everything I am.”
“I kept getting told that, ‘You don’t have the rock voice, you can’t do rock music.’ But it’s everything I am. It’s everything I listen to,” Carly said. “I’m not the regular girl next door.”
And for his part, Moody said that Carly is a perfect fit as their lead singer.
“It was just clear to me that we had found our better half,” he told the Times. “This is bringing more energy than Evanescence could ever muster.”
The band plans to announce the news on Monday, when they’ll release a free single on their Web site, www.wearethefallen.com, with plans for a national theater tour in the works with intermittent recording sessions and single releases.

Obsessed

For Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, a duo whose smoldering Twilight passion has exploded into real life, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
It may also kill them, they are so obsessed with each other.
Rob is in New York for the summer, shooting Remember Me. Kristen is in L.A., working on The Runaways, a rock biopic in which she portrays Joan Jett.
According to OK!, that the young, white-hot stars are more than friends is beyond dispute at this point. It's just a matter of where they go from here.
“It’s no secret that their relationship has been heating up these past few months,” says a source close to the pair, who recently completed New Moon and who have sparked rumors that they might be dating for over a month now.

“[Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart] are very attracted to each other, and there is definitely something very special going on between them.”
Something very special and complicated.
Kristen is apparently still involved with her longtime boyfriend, Michael Angarano, while Rob wants her to choose, one way or the other, by October.
That's when he and Kristen start the third Twilight film, Eclipse.
But while Robert Pattinson has given his love interest a few months to decide between suitors, sources say he’s making his interest in her known.
The actor is constantly texting and calling Kristen Stewart to "check in," according to a source, and inviting her own to New York for a weekend.
Will she visit? Should she visit? Will Robert and Kristen be together? Will Michael Angarano be a thorn in Rob's side? Stay tuned.

Kelly Preston is returning to work after the death of her teenage son in January.
Disney says Preston will co-star in its coming-of-age drama “The Last Song,” which began filming this week in Savannah, Georgia. The 46-year-old actress plays the mother of Miley Cyrus’ character, a rebellious teen forced to spend the summer with her estranged father, played by Greg Kinnear.
Preston and husband John Travolta have kept low profiles since their 16-year-old son, Jett Travolta, died following a seizure in January. John Travolta did not participate in the promotion for his latest film, “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.”
Preston and Travolta can next be seen on screen in the November release “Old Dogs” with Robin Williams and Matt Dillon.

Jon looking for Apartment in NYC

NEW YORK, N.Y. --
Jon Gosselin of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” is hunting for a new apartment in New York City, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
According to Gawker, who first reported the news, the reality star dad was recently spotted at Trump Place in the hallway of the building with a realtor on the eighth floor.
Finances must not be an issue for the father of eight, as rent for the available one bedrooms on that floor start at $3,600 per month, while a currently available studio is listed for sale at $639,000.
The couple reportedly makes up to $75,000 per episode of their hit TLC show.
The reality star would be in store for a much different life if does decide to relocate from his Berks County, Pennsylvania, home to the Big Apple. His new Upper West Side 21-story building includes a health club, pool, sauna, nursery and a view of the Hudson River.
In more “Jon & Kate” news, the embattled reality couple takes turns addressing their relationship in individual confessional interviews in a new promo for their series.
“We haven’t really known where we were going, but we’ve been dealing with this for a long time,” a visibly emotional Kate tells the camera. “[It’s] a slow progression that has not popped up one day. It’s not been like a secret… We’ve been dealing with this for a long time.”
Jon seemed to echo his wife’s troubling sentiments, noting the strain on the couple’s relationship was not brand new.
“It just got worse and worse and worse,” he said to the camera. “With all the tabloids and all that, it just made it even worse.”
Tabloid reports have suggested Jon has been cheating on his wife. And while Jon did not address those claims directly in the new promo, he does admit he is not the same man he used to be.
“People think I’ve changed and I have changed. But I’m now the person I know I am,” Jon said.

Ashley & Adrian Deny Dating

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Is “Twilight Saga” star Ashley Greene the latest lucky lady to join Adrian Grenier’s dating “Entourage?”
According to the stars themselves, the rumors are just that – rumors.
“They are rumors,” Ashley told Access Hollywood at the Los Angeles Lakers’ victory party on Thursday night. “We met at a surfing event and I haven’t seen him since.”
According to a previous People report, the two met last Friday at Oakley’s “Learn To Ride” surf event, where the pair “got super cozy all weekend.”
But Adrian seconded Ashley’s story, denying that the two were a couple.
“You said it yourself, rumors,” he told Access. “Yeah, come on — can’t get snapped with anybody without them saying something.”
However, there’s one star Adrian would like to hook up with – asked who he’d like to see cameo on “Entourage,” he went with “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr.
“There’s so many,” he added.
The November 20 release date of Ashley’s “New Moon” is still months away, but Adrian fans can catch his return to HBO on July 14, when the sixth season of “Entourage” premieres.

Collin Farrell the Hottest Celebrity Single Dad + Other Dads

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
From “S.W.A.T.” to “Miami Vice,” Irish actor Colin Farrell has a string of hits under his belt. And while he’s a big hit at the box office, Colin is also still a hit with the ladies, according to a new poll.
The brown-eyed star was voted “Hottest Single Celebrity Dad” in a poll conducted by dating Web site PerfectMatch.com.
According to PerfectMatch.com’s chief relationship expert, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Colin’s fire helped net him 35 percent of the vote, beating out competition from Jamie Foxx who came in second, quarterback Matt Leinart who took third and New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez who took fourth.
“Because Colin has lots of attitude — that makes him very male, very enigmatic,” Schwartz said. “In addition, Colin’s relationship with his son James, with ex-girlfriend model Kim Bordenave, is very special as his son has a rare genetic condition… Colin understands what it takes to nurture and be there for his child who needs more care from him… The once ‘wild guy,’ who is now also a dad, proves that sexy and responsible can go hand-in-hand.”
When it comes to the “Hottest Single Celebrity Rocker Dad,” Lenny Kravitz beat out competition from Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, who took second, Poison frontman Bret Michaels, who was voted third, and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who finshed fourth.
And Schwartz said it’s Lenny’s parenting skills that make him such a hot pick.
“Lenny and Lisa Bonet have been divorced for a long time, but he is always seen with his daughter — they are like friends — more than just dad and daughter,” Schwartz said of Lenny and his grown-up girl, Zoe. “Lenny tears down the ‘once a rocker, always a rocker’ belief. He looks great and has managed to never fade from the rock scene.”
In fantasyland, it was Billy Ray Cyrus’ character, Robby Stewart in Disney’s “Hannah Montana” series, that voters picked as their “Ideal Single TV Dad.”
Robby bested competition from second place finisher – Taye Diggs’ Sam Bennett from “Private Practice,” Ross Geller from “Friends” (played by David Schwimmer) and Jon Cryer’s character, Alan Harper, from “Two & A Half Men.”
When asked which single celebrity dad voters would most like to grow old with, crooner Michael Bolton triumphed over competition from Al Pacino, who was voted second, Larry David, who came in third, and fourth-place finisher Jack Nicholson.
“Michael has a soft, sensitive side. He is what you want when you are fed up with bad boys,” Schwartz said. “He is a dedicated and hands-on dad to three daughters… and that fatherly instinct makes a gal feel he is there to make ‘everything right’ in the golden years.”

Should Jen Date Bradley Cooper?

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Are Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper dating?
The “He’s Just Not Into You” co-stars met for a meal on Thursday that seemed suspiciously romantic, a source confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The two had dinner at Il Cantinori in Manhattan, the source told Access. The single stars arrived at 11 PM and stayed for almost two hours. Jen and Bradley drank San Pelligrino water and dined on pasta, salad and filet mignon.
According to the source, Jen is a regular at the upscale restaurant.
Cooper wouldn’t be the first “Brad” for Jen – the former “Friends” star was famously married to Brad Pitt before their 2005 split. Coincidentally, Cooper’s ex-wife is named Jennifer.
In May, Bradley denied previous rumors the two were dating, telling The Associated Press, “It’s completely hilarious. I met her like three times [during ‘He’s Not That Into You’].”
Better make that four.

Would Neil Make A Good Dad?

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Neil Patrick Harris is not gearing up to become a father – at least not yet.
Earlier this week, Star Magazine claimed the “How I Met Your Mother” star and his longtime partner, David Burtka, were planning on having a baby.
The magazine claimed the two were already in the process of picking a surrogate mom for their little one and were going to use the agency Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick used to find a woman to carry their twins.
But according to Neil, he’s not expecting the pitter patter of little feet anytime soon.
“If Star says it, then it must be true! No, we are not currently expecting a baby,” Neil said in his statement to Access. “Maybe someday.”

Joe Outs Nick & Miley

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Can it possible that Miley Cyrus left model boyfriend, Justin Gaston, in hopes of reuniting an old flame with Nick Jonas? Maybe, Nick's older brother, Joe, just might have ratted out the low-key couple.
Joe may have outed the reunited couple on “Larry King Live” on Thursday in response to a question from Larry. First, Larry asked Joe if he had a girlfriend and Joe said, "Yes, I do". Then Larry asked is she is as famous as Nick's... (Insinuating Miley Cyrus, who Nick has been seen with a lot lately).
And Joe let slip, “I don’t think anybody’s as famous as Miley Cyrus”. Oops! Big brothers' bad!
Joe himself is currently dating famous young actress, Camilla Belle, and previously dated famous young country singer, Taylor Swift.
When Nick, himself, was asked about his former girlfriend, Miley, in response to some earlier asked questions, that if things were going well between them... Nick earnestly replied, “It’s good, it’s nice to have reconnected with her. For a little while there, we had not been as reconnected as we are now. It’s good to have the friend back.” Oh, just like Nick to call her a friend, just after big brother Joe called her his girlfriend.
Miley wasted no time reconnecting with Nick after she broke up with Model boyfriend, Justin Gaston. Nick and Miley had dated in the past for two years. Miley even confessed in an interview with Seventeen that she was "in love" with Nick.
Still after the "past love" and Joe's slip, Nick told Larry that things between him and Miley are not serious (at least not yet).
Nick went on to say, “I’m still very young, 16. I’ve got a lot of life left to live. I’m just enjoying [things].”
I like Nick and Miley better than Miley and Justin. Miley herself is just barely sixteen, just like Nick. Whereas Justin is twenty one. I think it's a little weird of this five year gap. What twenty one year old would prey on a sixteen year old superstar? Only Justin Gaston. She is underage and has a big career ahead of her self, she needs to relax and have fun with Nick, and other young teenagers. Justin is three years in to adulthood and he needs to find someone his own age. Your good-looks should get you more than teenagers... buddy. C'MON!

SanJolly

On I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, a celebrity reality TV show for charity, it seems a little different love connection has been starting that has America questioning.
After In-the-Jungle, Out-of-the-Jungle superstar reality couple, from The Hills, Spencer and Heidi Pratt finally left the jungle, after Heidi got sick, they had to find a celebrity to fix the uneven numbers. They brought in the unexpected surprise of Heidi's older sister, Holly Montag. Not as big as a name as "Speidi" that rest of the cast had to wait for her to spit out the word "Montag", to get exactly who she was.
But as Holly stayed longer and longer in the Jungle and the whole cast began apperciate her more for her cheerful attitude, and stopped hating her for her last name, there was always a certain someone on her side.
Sanjaya Malakar, ex American Idol singer, known for his wacky hairstyles and push through the competition has taken a special interest toward Heidi's older sister. They spend most of their time together and Holly even admitted to having a little crush.
Spencer and Heidi seem to like the pair... Heidi prays that Holly marries Sanjaya and even dubbed them with the nickname "SanJolly". Spencer wanted them to marry so that he "can have a brother-in-law and they can go to India whenever". A little racist Spence... DONT YA THINK?
I think SanJolly is adorable. Unique couples add for a more interesting mix. A wild, kindhearted singer + a sweet, southeren bell = infinite possibilities.
But Holly says there friends.

Robert Endangered by Fans

The bad news first: RadarOnline.com is reporting that Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi cab in NYC yesterday, June 18, 2009, while running away from hysterical fans.
R-Pattz had his close call around noon outside a shooting location for his new flick, as a crowd of hysterical teenage girls swarmed him on his way out of a store.
Security guards tried to help him, hustling him across the street to his trailer, but the taxi grazed past him as he crossed the street, slamming on the brakes. At first, it was reported that the cab hit his hip and he was shocked.
Now, it is said: "The cab didn't hit him. It came close, but it's New York, that's what happens," an on-set source tells OK!. "It barely touched him. He maybe put his hand on the cab but he's fine. They all just went to lunch."
One of his bodyguards made sure there was no bodily harm done to Rob first, then screamed at the girls, "You see what you did, you almost killed him!" Now try to imagine the World without being over to drool over Rob???
Let that be a lesson to you, obsessed Twilight fanatics: We know you love R-Pattz, we love him too, he knows you love him, so let's give him some breathing room and keep him safe.
UPDATE 5:36 pm After his little cab incident earlier, OK! can confirm that Robert Pattinson is back at work, unharmed. He was spotted happily drinking a soda, unscathed, before heading on to the set to shoot a scene.

MY THOUGHTS: Literally, I have been saying this for quite some time now. Just because you like him does not mean you can stalk him, chase him, and scare him to the point where he can get killed. It's crazy and unstable at this point. He is a person; you can't treat him like a pet and pass him around. Just like any other human being, he has boundaries and he hasn't gave that up. Just because he is a celebrity doesn't mean we can invade the privacy he gets as a human. I mean I am one of his biggest fans but I would never attack him.

Kate Raises the Kids All Alone?

I just read an article in Life & Style Magazine's June 15, 2009 issue. The article is titled "Kate's raising eight kids ALONE". The article makes Kate seem heroic and the ideological parent. It said that she is raising all the kids alone while Jon drinks all the time and goes shopping. First of all, Kate took the sextuplets to the beach solely for the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8". Jon, more recently, has opted for staying out of the show as much as possible.

From what I heard Maddy and Cara stayed home because they had mandatory school. Jon watched over them and picked up the house, pratically the whole time. Because Kate is a workaholic and lets her kids be watched all the time, does not mean Jon should be demoted as the lesser parent. I am one hundred percent, fully on Jon's side, since day one.

I have watched pratically every show and I see the tension in their relationship but I don't think that is Jon's fault. Kate likes to scream and control and lower Jon on the show, and that makes me wonder what she treats him like in real life. The controversy over whether or not Jon has cheated with accussed Deanna Hummel, I don't believe he did. Simply, he has done nothing but compliment Kate and care for Kate and the children throughout the entire series.
It takes a lot for a man to give that superiority of supporting his family so that the wife can go out and do her thing and Jon did that for Kate. Kate has spent multiple months away from her children, doing her book tours and other things.

Comments Made in the Article:
TEAM KATE
- "It all started with Jon's affair rumors. It went downhill from there." Okay, I understand that. Jon's affair rumors truly did spark the 'separation', but I think Kate was planning on that. I did not see sorrow in Kate's eyes when she talked about it... It almost looked like she was intent with Jon's mishap, almost reliefed. And plus rumors don't mean that it is true.
- "Jon needs to work on his marriage and not go off partying!" How does she know what Jon does? If there are three pictures of Jon at a bar; three days out of a year is barely any. If you lived with a wife who didn't appreciate you, wouldn't you want to go to a bar to release your tension, then go home mad. He stops himself from doing something stupid.
- "I'm on Kate's team because I think Jon messed up." Jon made a mistake, since when are people so superhuman that they don't make mistakes. Everybody just makes assumptions that he did the deed, and people don't have any trust anymore.
- "I'm for Kate. Jon's cheating for sure." Once again, how does she know? Can she say that she has a such a bonded relationship with Jon that he conversates with her about this? The only people who know the truth is Jon and Deanna, or who ever else he MIGHT have slept with.
- "I'm on Kate's side. He shouldn't be out with other girls." Okay, well do you, as a girl, have guy friends? Do you sometimes hang out with those guys as friends? I would think so. Why does Jon have to be on a level where he can't hang out with girls as friends? Isn't he human too?
TEAM JON
- "I feel like he's trying and willing to work things out." That is exactly what I feel. Kate acts like he chooses to walk out of those kids life and be out on his own. Jon loves those kids with his whole heart, and it's wrong to deny that.
- "Kate needs to help and be more of a mom." Everybody tries to act like Jon is a bad parent that they don't care to observe Kate. Jon hasn't been there as much recently, but for all we know Kate won't let him. I recall Jon use to go to work, come home, play with the kids, bathe the kids, brush their teeth, and put them to bed.
-"Kate doesn't really do anything. She just sits there." Exactly, she basically cooks. I mean I am not trying to bring her down but its wrong to downgrade Jon, when she is not perfect. He use to do pratically everything.
- "I think he needs to admit he was wrong, but I'm on Jon's side." And that is exactly what Jon did. He said you know, I made a mistake but I didn't cheat on Kate. Why can't people believe him? Because Kate can be a bit of a superficial celebrity. More like a celebrity?
- "I'm leaning to Jon's side. Kate's a little harsh." That is exactly my point. What would you do if your wife made fun of your weight and bossed you around all day?
