Robert Pattinson is moving. The Twilight actor is selling the L.A. home he shared with co-star and former girlfriend Kristen Stewart. Pattinson purchased the home (which previously was owned by Noah Wyle) in September 2011 and had shared it with Stewart since. Pattinson listed the Los Feliz mansion for a cool $6.3M. Us Weekly reports the actor wanted to sell the house after the two split because "there are too many memories." We're sure there is a group of Twi-hards pooling their allowances to buy the house at this very moment.

Lindsay Lohan was banned from the swanky Chateau Marmont hotel in LA after reportedly not paying her $46K tab. TMZ published a letter from the hotel's general manager addressed to Lohan telling her she's banned from the property. While living at the hotel for 47 days, Lohan blew $686 on cigarettes and $3,145 on minibar charges. Doesn't Lohan know the minibar will kill your budget?

No one wants to walk in on their parents during sex but it's probably a lot less tragic if your mom was in flagrante delicto with David Bowie. In an interview with an Australian radio station, Slash recalls walking in on his mom and Bowie when he was 8. "My mom started working professionally with David Bowie at first," said the rocker. "I'm pretty sure that's how it started and then it turned into some sort of mysterious romance that went on for a while after that. I caught them naked once. They had a lot of stuff going on, but my perspective at eight was limited. Looking back on it I know exactly what was going on."

Everybody has their favorite actor, the one they will go see in any movie, no matter what. Movie studios also have their favorite actors, particularly the ones that can sell a movie to a viewing public. When an actor moves from supporting roles to carrying a movie, studios put those actors on the proverbial "A-List." The actors on that list fluctuate with the times, but the reasons behind whether an actor can be on the A-list or not remains the same.
Stephen Galloway, executive editor of The Hollywood Reporter explained to The Hollywood Dailies the three criteria that put an actor on "the A-list," while discussing whether several actors — Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises), Kristen Stewart (Twilight), Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games), Ryan Gosling (Drive), Emma Watson (Harry Potter) and Jessica Chastain (The Help), among others — belonged on that list. Who makes it and who doesn't may surprise you.

The erotica novel Fifty Shades of Grey may have started out as Twilight fan fiction, but after author E.L. James rewrote it and repackaged it as an original story — replacing Edward and Bella with Christian and Ana — it became a publishing phenomenon, earning James a spot on Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Naturally, the popularity of the book started a bidding war in Hollywood and Universal Pictures and Focus Features ended up securing the rights to the entire trilogy of books in March of this year. Since that time, casting speculation has run rampant. Emma Watson was one of the first actresses rumored to be up for the role of Ana, followed by Miley Cyrus, Scarlett Johansson, and even the actress who played the character that originally inspired Ana, Kristen Stewart.
Well, forget all of those names. If James has anything to say about it, Shailene Woodley, the 20-year-old actress who more than held her own opposite George Clooney in The Descendants, will play the naive virgin who falls for a rich young man with a BDSM fetish in the movie adaptation.

Earlier today, THR reported that Kristen Stewart had been dropped for a potential sequel to this summer's Snow White and the Huntsman, and instead of the fair-skinned princess, the follow-up would focus on Chris Hemsworth's huntsman.
In a highly unusual move, Universal Pictures has spoken out to deny the report. According to a statement made by a Universal exec, the studio is "currently exploring all options to continue the franchise. Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false." Though it is a possibility that the script would focus on the huntsman character, the script has yet to be written and Stewart could easily still have a part in the story.
The original story that KStew had been dropped was surprising since though Stewart and married director Rupert Sanders were recently caught up in a romantic scandal, it certainly isn't the first time in history for an actress and director to have a fling.

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?

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 . . .

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.
