Oh yes, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Almost. Maybe? Here we have America’s hottest vampire on the red carpet of the British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House. And many women across America have been silently grateful on his single status, as if that gave them a bigger chance, until now perhaps, as it sounds like he’s off the market, and in love with *gasp* a mortal woman. It’s true. A London paper claims Robert Pattinson let it slip that he’s dating Kristen Stewart for realsies. If New Year’s Eve together on the Isle of Wight didn’t already spill these beans, Robert Pattinson has reportedly confirmed he is dating Twilight love interest Kristen Stewart. “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes,” the Sun of London claims the actor said at a dinner following the BAFTAs, the British film awards, on Sunday. Rob goes on to say that he really wanted to show just how off-screen his relationship with Kristen is, but the Twilight fans are always the third wheel. “This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible,” he is quoted as saying in The Sun, noting they had to arrive separately for security reasons. “We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy.” But our friend Close Source says, that’s not a direct quote. The reporter who interviewed Rob admitted the actor never said “couple.” “Is this a public appearance together?” the reporter asked. “We are together,” Rob replied. So throw this story on the pile with all those false alarms about Jennifer Aniston drunk-dialling Shiloh. Rob, 23, and Kristen, 19, have been pretty convincingly together since at least 2008, when they were shooting New Moon in Vancouver. That’s when gossipy waitresses who saw them holding hands and nuzzling each other with their hair grease started talking to tabloids about the romance. Last year, Kristen told Entertainment Weekly she had given a lot of thought towards how to answer the question of whether they are dating or not, to no avail. “There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other,” she says. “Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’ I’m just trying to keep something.” Well, it’s better she keep this for herself than, say, her Joan Jett haircut.

Hard to say with this pair as they truly seem to be the kind that you never know where they are going, as even during a long tumultuous split, they can’t seem to stay out of the headlines. So here we go again, though now it’s 2010 and Lindsay Lohan is STILL being seen coming out of the Bardot lounge, and she’s back to one of her original hair colors as well. And it wasn’t long after this night that Lindsay recently Tweeted that she’d like to move to Britain because they have better DJ’s, and the whole world knows that whenever Lilo says the word DJ, she must be “back in love” again. But it doesn’t matter how many room-service trays Lindsay Lohan has thrown, or how many shrubs she’s run over, because of Samantha Ronson. All signs do seem to indicate that Lindsay is still holding a candle, or at least a menthol cigarette, for her ex-girlfriend.

“She’s the only woman I’ve been attracted to. We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe.”
The couple split up last year, and Sam’s fashion designer sister Charlotte looked into getting a restraining order against Lindsay. But only because Lindsay was just too awesome. On Samantha’s family, Lilo also has some thoughts there.

“Her family is very involved in her relationships and that was difficult. All the fighting stuff was just because all her friends had got involved and made me an outcast, which wasn’t fair to Samantha. I think it was a jealousy thing in terms of her becoming more famous than the rest of them.”

Yes. Samantha’s loved ones were concerned because Lindsay is just so famous. Not because she throws tantrums and steals clothes and writes things to Sam on Twitter like, “you JUST told me that your friends are worth more than i am 2 your family & that i’m gross*thx.” Lindsay thinks this drama was really just normal stuff, but it got blown up because Lindsay is a very important actress, as seen in such hit movies from five years ago as Herbie: Fully Loaded. “Everyone has ups and downs - it’s normal,” she says. “But in front of the public eye they’re going to take the downs and make it seem like they’re a million times worse.” Of course. Who hasn’t stormed out into the hallway of a hotel and fought with their partner until hotel security AND Page Six have been called? I don’t know what’s more disturbing–that Lindsay thinks that’s normal, or that she’s considering getting back into it.

Or at least…they WILL be, come May 28 which is when the long anticipated sequel to Sex and the City movie will hit the big screen. And though we alllllll know how infamous Sarah Jessica Parker has become as a result of this hit series and hit movie run-on, there are the other women in the Sex and the City group that are enjoying their share of not so new found fame as well. Here we have the sex siren Samantha spotted on set of the movie sequel, surrounded by two burly bodyguards as she exits her trailer to head to the set of the sequel movie. And one look at a picture like this you would never guess that this lady in the micro mini is sitting at 53 years of age, but though she likes her fame as Samantha, Kim Cattrall says that Samantha is not all that SHE is cracked up to be.The 53-year-old actress is preparing for her new stage role in Noel Coward’s Private Lives in London’s West End and has said there is no connection between her on-screen character Samantha and herself. We all love each woman in The City dearly, but we need to be reminded that, they’re real people too. Kim is adamant about this saying she isn’t like her character of Samantha. She said to UK newspaper Daily Mail:

“I don’t think it’s me. There’s a clear separation. I can’t relate to it in the way other people do. People used to ask me to come and speak to women about sex issues and relationships and women running businesses. That’s not what I do - I am none of those things. It’s a character! I got an award and joked, ‘This is what I got for sleeping with so many men.’”

And an award well deserved we must say, because if Kim isn’t anything like Samantha at all, then her acting bones are much sharper than many have given her credit for. But yet, we still will count the days to the Sex and the City sequel and look forward to seeing Samantha…and her friends…return to the big screen.

Well, we all knew she was single, since baby daddy Scott Disick hasn’t exactly stepped up to the plate with a ring in his hand, but it seems now that she is more single as ever. Surprised? No, not really, as anyone that has seen the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians knows that this is a couplehood that was on the rocks long before it wasn’t. But another thing we know about the Kardashian family is that they DO love to see their names in the headlines, so many of us have gotten to the point where, it’s just another headline with how much truth to it? Who knows. Here we are seeing the newest mother in the Kardashian fold, Kourtney Kardashian heading to a medical building with her new baby boy, Mason Dash, and she clearly still has a bit of work to do in terms of post mommy figure. But let’s not bash her look too long, as I have no doubt that Kourtney will be looking svelte in no time, unless she wishes to begin a booty competition with her sister. Enough of that, now she is making headlines over the fact that she may be a single mom after all, which may explain another headline, why her and baby daddy put Mason’s picture up at a cool price. Disick, 26, and Kardashian, 30, became parents for the first time in December when their son Mason was born. The couple then followed standard celebrity protocol by later revealing the first photos of him to the world in a US magazine interview. Kourtney Kardashian’s (ex?) boyfriend Scott Disick has hit out at criticism that they “exploited” their baby by putting him on a magazine cover. The debate started when a Twitter follower asked Disick if he will start posting pictures of their baby boy. He replied: “Its kinda private, hope you can respect that. Maybe when he gets a bit older.” However, one follower was not impressed with his comments and said: “dont wanna exploit Mason huh?? did u forget u already exploited him?? on a mag with his baby pic and kourt.” Disick then said: “No I didn’t forget, I also didn’t forget mason made more that day then you will ever make in your life!” Okay, so maybe Scott darling needs to remember what the word exploit means. Or what hypocrisy means. Because when you say in one breath you aren’t going to exploit your kid…but then you ADMIT you did just that and say the money makes up for it…well you know, if it looks like a hypocritical duck, walks like a hypocritical duck well then….and maybe just maybe this may explain the whispers of breakup as it seems NOW Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Scott Disick have reportedly called time on their relationship. This relationship as we all know has been on and off for the past three years. Although the couple were already broken up at the time, they got back together when Kardashian found out she was pregnant. But reports now claim that they are calling it quits for good. Our friend “Close Source” said so:

“Kourtney resents Scott for his behaviour. They fight about almost everything when they’re together. From what I’ve seen, when Kourtney has needed help, she has had to ask.”

This is definitely one of those time will tell things, but I don’t think there are many among us who doubt this by any stretch. Nor do we doubt the fact that they will break up and get back together approximately 17 more times before done is done.

Simon Monjack is seen here stopping to speak to photographers outside the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood just a month after his wife, Brittany Murphy’s, tragic death. He’s seen here looking somber and ever the grieving husband, but since her death he is starting to develop a similar reputation to John Mayer in terms of feeding off the media frenzy following a big headline. It may well just be that Mr. Murphy’s 15 minutes is up, but recent news is showing that he not only wants to keep the headlines raging, but he also seems very eager to make some coin off her death. Sound revolting? Well it is, but now that he can no longer thrive off her earnings, he needs to make money somehow. The latest news is even more twisted, as he appears to use a non profit organization in her name to do just that. This is not going to improve Simon Monjack’s reputation as a con artist. Brittany Murphy’s husband has shut down a charity he started in her name after TMZ revealed it hadn’t even been approved as a non-profit. And oddly enough, her mom is right in there on the news with him. Brittany’s mom, Sharon Murphy, and Simon wrote on an update on their website:

“We have decided instead to wait until we have our non-profit status approved before proceeding to insure that we can truly honour Brittany’s charitable desires. Any donations made up until this point will be returned until we have all our paperwork solidified.”

The Brittany Murphy Foundation was meant to fund children’s arts education, cancer research, and the American military support group the USO. This in itself is a little strange, considering that most charities function with one purpose, one objective, and one cause so to speak to raise money for, but the Brittany Murphy Foundation seems to be a little all over the place. Not really heartwarming, or even credible, to prospective funders. This isn’t the only example of Simon mourning his late wife through the healing power of accepting people’s money. Life & Style reports that Simon has an agent hocking photos of him and Sharon Murphy grieving. The bidding starts at $40,000 and includes an interview opportunity with Simon. I’m sure he would donate the fee to his charity, The Simon Monjack Deceitful Riches Alliance. He also cancelled a benefit slated for February 4th that was charging $1000 a seat. He claimed a family member had fallen ill. Given a wide nature of speculation surrounding her death to begin with, one can not help but think that maybe just maybe it’s time for Simon to go mum for a little bit. He’s not doing himself any favors, and in fact, seems to be making matters much worse for himself. The whole situation is tragic enough without having to add a con artist money gouging “grieving” widower to the mix, no?

Oh yes, we were all waiting with baited breath once the final minutes of the Superbowl rolled over, weren’t we? Even Yahoo and Google were hyping up their servers to accommodate the news that was expected, but it seems all they had to offer the world was Kim Kardashian googling herself again to see what people were and weren’t saying about her. Here she is sans her infamous pink velvet pant suit in her usual overloaded makeup style on a night out with pal Brittny Gastineau. And it seems that there may be an obvious reason why her left hand is not so apparent to the paparazzi, as it seems she has a little bit of humble pie to eat with aforementioned hand. Just days before the Superbowl last Sunday, the reality TV star blurted out on a radio show that her New Orleans Saints player beau would pop the question if his team won America’s biggest sporting event. And since we all know that she and her entire Kardashian clan are big time headline seekers, all major search engines may have had a bit of a downer on Monday morning. Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend Reggie Bush may have triumphed in the Super Bowl, but so far it seems he’s failed to honour his promise of marriage. The Saints stormed to victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday – but there’s still no sign of an engagement ring for Kardashian. When asked by a local newspaper whether the NFL star had popped the question since his big win, she said:

“No, he hasn’t proposed. But let this moment be about Reggie’s ring and not about mine.”

“Mine” she says as if there is actually a ring that she owns at this point, when it is becoming very clear there is not. And maybe there just won’t ever be. The celebrity couple – dubbed “the Bush and the Tush” because of Kardashian’s famously round derriere – rekindled their romance last year after previously splitting due to their busy schedules. Now that Reggie is on a little football hiatus, and Kimmy girl is still looking for that next headline, what the heck is he waiting for? Enquiring minds want to know, most notably, the Kardashian family who are on baited breath waiting to film the next episode of their not so well like reality show. One with an engagement party perhaps? Or a sisterly huddle and cuddle to console the not so fianced Kimmy.

You almost just want to say…give it a REST. One difference between John Mayer and your average joe is when he has a “what did I do last night?” morning, it shows up as a magazine cover story a few months later. That might be due to the fact that other than his relationship with Jennifer Aniston….that we remind you has been soooooooo over for QUITE some time now…he doesn’t have much else exciting going on in his life. And even he seems to know it as he can’t seem to stop talking about this aforementioned relationship, despite the fact that it’s pretty darn clear that Jenny has moved on…and on…and on…approximately 17 times now. This time he ranted out 7000 of some of the most outrageous words ever to cross a celebrity’s mouth to Playboy magazine over a glass of whisky or nine. And Jennifer Aniston might want to pick up a copy. For the articles, of course. Yes, he’s STILL talking about the breakup. And since the rest of the paparazzi have become completely bored with it, it seems that Playboy is about the only one that will let him moan just that much longer. The reason he begrudgingly broke it off with the star of Leprechaun may have had a lot to do with their nine-year age difference.

“I want to dance. I want to get on an airplane and be like a ninja. I want to be an explorer. I want to be like The Bourne Identity. I don’t want to pet dogs in the kitchen.”

Sorry you had to read that, Mr. Aniston. Oh wait, Norman Aniston can’t read. And no, Jen didn’t appreciate it when John told a gang of photographers that he ended it. But he can TOTALLY explain. Writers for the major tab mags were bombarding him to the point where he couldn’t tell if an In Touch writer was stalking him or if he had just gone literally crazy.

“I haven’t slept. I’m about to go blind–you know the phrase blind rage? All I can remember is that I was about to lose my vision. My emotional tissue was about to tear. So after I left the gym I said ‘come here’ to all the reporters and paparazzi. I was on the verge of crying and also on the verge of punching someone.”

But instead of crying and punching, he instead announced he’d dumped Jen “because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.” It was a little bit too much honesty, not just for gossip-trackers, but for the ex Mrs. Pitt as well. “It really, really upset her,” John said. “I wanted to take responsibility for having ended it because I saw it as such an offence. But a lot of people felt I was saving face.” He compares breaking up with Jennifer Aniston to “burning the American flag,” although realistically, Americans probably care more about the idiot that let Jennifer Aniston get away. Considering how openly he’s revisiting this territory, it would seem he hasn’t learned anything about discretion (elsewhere in the interview, he says Jessica Simpson is “sexual napalm” and that he’d like to do something sexual with TMZ founder Harvey Levin that I didn’t even know existed until I was 17). Maybe that’s because he thinks that, like himself, Jen’s stuck in the ’90s when it comes to handling her fame. She thought he was courting too much attention by using Twitter, a public forum, as his personal brainstorming pad, while John tried to convince her to take her public image more lightly.

“I said, ‘Tom Cruise put on a fat suit. That pretty much sums up the past decade: Tom Cruise with a comb-over, dancing to Flo Rida in Tropic Thunder. And the world went, ‘Welcome back, Tom Cruise.’ You have to show that you don’t take yourself seriously.”

Jen’s probably right not to listen too intently to John, but maybe she should have heeded his advice on this one thing. People might quit insetting her picture into photos of Brangelina if she joked around about it a little more. It couldn’t be any more uncomfortable than seeing her face on the magazine rack every time she goes to the gas station. *eyes rolling* are you done NOW, John?

Well yes, we all saw this one coming, but the only surprise to this breakup is that it took so long to happen, but that’s what happens with more than most teen pregnancies, no? Jamie Lynn Spears has certainly been way under the radar since she gave birth to her daughter Maddie almost 2 years ago, and we all thought she was just enjoying mommy hood and playing house with baby daddy Casey Aldridge, right? Well, we all thought so, but it seems it ain’t so. Here she is seen in her home town of McComb, Mississippi running errands with her baby girl, and by the sounds of it, she may be errand running on the solo side much more often in the coming days, weeks, months, whatever. Yes, the news has finally hit that Jamie Lynn Spears and the father of her baby, Casey Aldridge, are no longer playing house, they are soooooo over. But Casey Aldridge sure did have some fun. How many other teenage pipe layers get to have themselves immortalized on a lawn mower by the paparazzi? But, alas, it’s time to forget him all over again, because they’ve hit splitsville, and most around them are hoping it’s for good. But as you can imagine, once a Spears girl, always a Spears girl, and Jamie Lynn, 18, had no trouble finding a new boyfriend. I mean, she’s Zoey 101. She’s been dating James Watson, a 28-year-old who runs a company that installs electronics for other companies, since December. He lives in Hammond, Louisiana, about half an hour south of Jamie Lynn’s home in Kentwood. “I don’t think James cares at all about who she is,” a source tells Star. (side bar, that’s supposed to be a compliment) Both Casey and Jamie Lynn have now moved out of their place in Liberty, Missouri. Jamie Lynn is back at her mom Lynn’s estate, Serenity, in Kentwood, while Casey has weirdly disappeared. He’s doing “long term construction in another state” according to People magazine. Wow, how vague. And anticlimactic. Just like when Brenda went away to school in London on 90210 and they thought we’d just forget all about her. Well, maybe that strategy will work a little better with Casey. Disappointed? Hm, no, not too surprised either. It does not really sound like too many hearts were bleeding over this one.
