It was only last week that Robert Pattinson's girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, made a public apology ostensibly for cheating with married director Rupert Sanders, but Rob is already shacking up with another beautiful, A-list celebrity. The actor has reportedly been crashing at Reese Witherspoon's house in Ojai, Calif. The two starred together in last year's Water for Elephants, but, of course, Witherspoon is happily married and expecting her third child, so this gossip probably isn't nearly as juicy as it sounds.

The recently divorced Katy Perry has been spotted out in West Hollywood with musician John Mayer. It's okay, Katy. We all make bad choices when we're on the rebound.

In absurdly-high-priced-accessory news, a watch worn by screen legend Steve McQueen in Le Mans was sold for nearly $800k at a recent auction. The same auction house, Profiles in History, also sold off a 1938 copy of Gone With the Wind signed by most of the movie's cast for a cool $135,300. Hopefully exorbitant prices spent on Hollywood memorabilia is an indicator of an economic upswing.

Actor and comedian Ricky Gervais made an announcement on his blog Tuesday about a new project. He is working with frequent collaborator Karl Pilkington on a web series called "Learn English with Ricky Gervais." He hopes to have it subtitled in many languages, including perhaps Klingon.

In a recent interview, Jessica Biel admitted that she has done "almost nothing" in preparation for her upcoming wedding to Justin Timberlake. Perhaps she should get suggestions from some of her fiancé's fans who have been busy planning a wedding to JT since they were twelve.

Despite not having any children together, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are in the midst of a custody battle. The estranged couple are now reportedly figuring out custody over their pets. RadarOnline.com reports the two have a cat, Max, and a dog, Bear. Stewart wants to keep Max while Pattinson wants to retain custody of Bear, a mixed mutt he adopted from a high-kill shelter in New Orleans, but according to a "source," Stewart won't give up the dog without a fight. "They adopted Bear together and she always felt that he was their little baby." Looks like someone has been spending too much time around werewolves.

When we said Cuba Gooding Jr. should be locked up for his post-Oscar career (Boat Trip, Snow Dogs), we were (mostly) kidding but it looks like the actor is really wanted by police. New Orleans police have issued an arrest warrant for Gooding after he allegedly shoved a bartender at a Bourbon Street bar early Tuesday morning. The Oscar winner is in town shooting the historical drama The Butler, which also stars Oprah Winfrey. According to police, Gooding became enraged and started cursing after several passerby began taking photos of him. He then allegedly shoved a female bartender after she asked him to leave the bar. He's wanted on a misdemeanor battery warrant.

Snoop is dropping the D-O-Double-G and taking on a new moniker — Snoop Lion. The rapper unveiled the new name in his new documentary, Reincarnated, which follows Snoop recording his new Reggae album of the same name. Snoop said he got his new name from a high priest while at a Rastafarian temple in Jamaica. "No more. You are the light; you are the lion," said the priest. "I always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated," said Snoop. This prompted Snoop to change his name and take his music in a new direction. What's the next name change for Snoop? Will he take a cue from Apple and go by Snoop Mountain Lion?

Serial dater Taylor Swift has moved on from dating actors and artists and is now reportedly hooking up with a member of America's Royal Family. People reports the country singer is dating Conor Kennedy, the son of Robert Kennedy and the late Mary Kennedy. Over the Fourth of July, Swift was photographed hugging Patrick Schwarzenegger, Arnold and Maria Shriver son, but it looks like Swift has locked on to Conor, as the two have been seen eating pizza and walking hand-in-hand. So when do you think we can expect a song about the inevitable breakup?

James Holmes, the man accused of opening fire inside a Colorado theater last week, was officially charged with 142 counts, including 24 counts of first-degree murder, two counts for each of the 12 people killed. He was also charged with 116 counts of attempted murder, again, two counts for each of the 58 people injured during the shooting. In the courtroom, Holmes appeared dazed and subdued with his eyes wide open during the hearing. He remained quiet except to calmly say "yes" when he asked if he wanted to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. Survivors of the massacre showed up to the hearing wearing Batman shirts. "We will attack back in strength," said one survivor. Holmes faces the death penalty or life in prison.

A week after she publicly apologized for cheating on him, Kristen Stewart has moved out of the L.A. house she shared with boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. According to People, U-Haul trucks showed up at the home after Pattinson asked Stewart to move out. Sources close to Pattinson say he's heartbroken over Stewart's indiscretion. "The entire thing has been such a blow to Rob. Talk about having his heart ripped out," said the source. "Rob just isn't going to be able to get past the cheating – one time or not." Meanwhile, Rupert Sanders, the married director who was caught cuddling and kissing Stewart, was seen still wearing his wedding ring. Guess we can assume he hasn't been kicked out of his home . . . yet.

Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, said she was "embarrassed" and "furious" when photos surfaced showing the basketball star shirtless with two younger women. A source claims Bryant was without a shirt because he had spilled a drink on himself and was waiting for someone to bring him a clean shirt. Apparently Vanessa bought it because she kept with her plans to take her two children to London to see their dad play in the Olympics. Guess when in London . . .

Madonna received boos and yells at her concert in Paris on Thursday night after cutting her show down to only 45 minutes. The concert was added to the singer’s tour at the last minute, and was filled mostly with members of her official fan club. The tickets started at 80 euros and went all the way up to 280, and some fans camped out overnight to see the show. We're guessing there are going to be a lot of French people who don't renew their membership to Madonna's fan club.

It’s no big surprise that Robert Pattinson has moved out of the house he shared with Kristen Stewart in LA. The actress publicly apologized for an “indiscretion” earlier this week after she was caught on camera smooching director Rupert Sanders.

Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong is teaming up with Christina Aguilera to be a mentor on The Voice. Why is a rocker like Armstrong interested in a show like The Voice? It may have something to do with the fact that Green Day is about to release three albums in quick succession,with the first to be released on September 25. Season 3 of The Voice premieres September 10.

Reality star Holly Madison revealed in a recent interview that she's started the process to adopt a baby. Madison is leaving her Peepshow job at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas at the end of this year, giving her time to focus on starting a family. When Madison left Hugh Hefner, the Playboy Mansion, and The Girls Next Door in 2008, it seemed in large part to be due to the fact that Madison wanted a husband and a family, while Hefner did not.

In a very surprising move, Twilight star Kristen Stewart made a public apology about a recent "indiscretion," and it is assumed to be referring to her rumored dalliance with Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. As all twi-hards know, Stewart has been in a relationship with her costar Robert Pattinson for years.
Usually, making a public apology for a mistake in one's private life is an action reserved for philandering politicians. An unmarried actress may have reason to apologize privately to someone she's hurt, but a public apology is an atypical choice. In the statement she released, Stewart expressed great regret for her actions.
I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry.

A lawsuit of $10 million has been filed against Lady Gaga. A toy manufacturer is saying the Mother Monster is in breach of contract concerning a doll that was to be released in the singer's likeness. According to MGA Entertainment, Gaga "engaged in intentional and deliberate delays" to make sure that the doll's released coincided with the release of her upcoming perfume and album. The company also got a little catty and claimed that Lady Gaga didn't approve of their original prototypes because they weren't pretty enough.

The cast of ABC's Modern Family have filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court to get their contracts with the show voided. Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet are claiming that their deal with 20th Century Fox is in violation of a California law that prohibits personal services contracts for longer than 7 years. Though Ed O'Neill had a higher pay rate than his co-stars and had a different contract, reports say that he is joining the other cast members' lawsuit in a show of solidarity.

Rumors are running rampant about Kristen Stewart breaking Robert Pattinson's heart. US Weekly published a pic of KStew playing kissy face with her Snow White and the Hunstman director Rupert Sanders, who is married and has two children. The scandalous and possibly Photoshopped picture has media outlets reporting that Stewart is "devastated" and that Pattinson is "crushed."

American Idol has Mariah Carey signed on to judge next year's contestants, and now it looks like a country star may join her behind the judge's table. Deadline reports that the show is courting Brad Paisley to be on the panel. Having Paisley on the show would make sense considering the show has produced several successful country acts, as well as the fact that he has worked with Idol alum Carrie Underwood. Also, it only seems fair to have a pretty-eyed white boy singer/songwriter type judge the show, seeing as those are the only contestants that win anymore.

The panel for Breaking Dawn - Part 2 has just come to a close and all the key players were in attendance. Of course the trio, Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) were there as well as series creator Stephenie Meyer. The Cullens were all in attendance, including Kellan Lutz who was remarkably handsome in his deep tan. Though it's not surprising he looks good tanned, we've just become so used to seeing him as a very pale vampire.
One of the more interesting answers of the afternoon came from Meyer who was asked if she planned to complete Midnight Sun, the story of the novel Twilight told from Edward's point of view. Meyer replied that she is burned out on vampires, but joking suggested that Pattinson write it. What we love about that response is that it leaves her wide open to write about werewolves or half-human-half-vampire children or shyster lawyers who forge documents for undead clients. All of these possibilities are left wide open.

If you don't like this one, RPattz fans, Breaking Dawn - Part 2 opens just a couple of months later.
There are at least dozens of different things we don't understand about the upcoming David Cronenberg pic, but there is one thing about it that we know for certain: plenty of fans that came to love Robert Pattinson from Twilight and Harry Potter are going to find themselves in a very different sort of movie when they go to see Cosmopolis.
A new trailer has just been released for the upcoming flick, which was one of the official selections at Cannes this year, and it is just as confusing as the first trailer released a few months ago. At one point, Jay Baruchel's character, Shiner, asks "do you ever get the feeling you don't know what's going on?" After watching this, the only honest answer to that question is "Yes."
Well, do ya? >> Posted 07.12.12 by Mandy -
Not to be overshadowed by the summer's blockbusters — well, that and the fact that tomorrow is Edward Cullen's 111th birthday — Summit is getting a second Breaking Dawn - Part 2 trailer queued up to dominate the web.
While the full trailer doesn't release until tomorrow morning (and, yes, we'll post it when it drops), we have a 15-second preview of it today. We got a look at vampire Bella (Kristin Stewart) stalking a deer in the woods in the first teaser trailer for the final installment of the Twilight Saga. This time the focus shifts to Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) and the Volturi's anger at her existence.
