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?

At the end of last month, the first, action-packed trailer for World War II combat movie Red Tails debuted, ending a long wait for producer George Lucas, who admitted that he had been "wanting to do Red Tails for 20 years."
Not even another month later, a second trailer has been made available from MTV as well as a brand new poster.
Red Tails tells the real-life story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the 332nd Fighter Group of the U.S. Army in World War II that was made up of the first African American combat pilots to serve in the U.S. military. A constant target of racial discrimination, the pilots were given second-rate planes to fly during their dangerous missions. The Airmen painted the tails of their airplanes red, hence the nickname "Red Tails". The nickname isn't covered in the latest trailer, which is almost non-stop aerial combat.

Is Hilary Swank the female Cuba Gooding Jr.? The two-time Oscar-winning actress's Amelia bombed at the box office, as did her most recent pic Conviction. Now The Resident, a thriller starring Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is headed straight to video in March.

Reports are that Camille Grammer is not returning for a second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Is it because Kelsey made her do it? Or because her porn star past has been revealed? In the '90s Camille Donatacci bared it all in Marilyn Chambers' Bedtime Stories and The Naked Detective, but her career never took off as porn consumers described her as "having an average body and looks and too-large boobs."

If reality TV doesn't work out for Jersey Shore's Deena Nicole Cortese, porn — or at least the pole — might be a career path as she stripped off her her bikini bottoms for The Situation on last night's premiere of the hit show, then later claimed "I had no idea my bottom came off." In the same interview she said, "I make out with anything when I'm drunk."
***
We're not sure the Deena Cortese stripping incident is related, but Dr. Drew Pinsky is preparing to leave MTV and focus solely on his new talk show, premiering on CNN's Headline News channel in March. He told The New York Post he'd like to have Linday Lohan as a guest, saying, "I want to talk about what's really going on with a woman who's suffering like that."

Yesterday was a bad day for the Wayans family. First Keenen Ivory Wayans was the latest victim of a death hoax, then brother Marlon Wayans cut his finger during a dance-off to a Jay-Z tune and wondered aloud on Twitter how he was going to wipe his a**.

The Oscar statuette is the pinnacle of one’s career in Hollywood. Win one of these hallowed golden naked men - standing perfectly erect, arms folded, head high – and a star is once and forever smiled upon by the movie Gods throughout eternity.
So it might come as a surprise that the path to Oscar glory isn’t always that hard to figure out. The Academy certainly has its perennial favorite themes. While they occasionally throw viewers for a loop by making the less expected choice (American Beauty, No Country for Old Men), they have picked the predicted winner more times than not.
Baiting for Oscars has evolved into an art form in Hollywood. Actors will gladly take a pay cut in order to throw their hat into the award season competitions. With such acclaim comes a feeling of accomplishment and, in most cases, career success for years to come. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. Just ask Cuba Gooding Jr. or Mira Sorvino.
The 2008 Oscar season is already in full swing, with a few shameless Oscar bids hitting theaters this month. Yes, I’m talking to you, Will Smith and Tom Cruise. As such, we thought the timing was appropriate to take a look at Oscar baiting over the years, both the successes and the failures. Check out our Oscar Baiting Guide for more.

High school is hard enough for some kids, but it seems that Spencer Breslin's prematurely balding character in Harold may have a particularly tough road ahead of him. With a fairly strong supporting cast around him (Cuba Gooding Jr, Ally Sheedy, and Nikki Blonski) and a head of hair that reminds us of Seinfeld's George Castanza, Breslin's new comedy looks like it will deliver some good laughs.
Look for it in theaters this weekend in L.A., N.Y., and Miami.
