Dear Ted:
One of my favorite shows on TV is Gossip Girl, but I've got to know if there is any dirt on the costars? Seems as if Blake Lively and Leighton Meester don't get along too well. Also does anyone else, besides Chace Crawford of course, have a Blind Vice?

Dear G.G. Gossip:
When Team Awful has spotted the two girls out partying, the two girls haven't even acknowledged each other. Battle of the egos, I'm thinking. As for being B.V. subjects, Chacey-poo is the only one holding down the naughty G.G. fort.

Dear Ted:
This is completely random, but did you know that if you made Tom Cruise a blond, he would look just like Peter Facinelli? It's creepy! On a completely different note, who's Terry Tush-Trade? For the love of all that's holy and good, Ted (I know you're a devout Presby)! I have to know. Your loving, devoted and faithful followers want, need, to know. Please! It's almost Christmas ya know. Spill!

Dear Twins:
Um, no way will Facinelli ever look like Cruise. You might be right, but I refuse to imagine it. As for TTT, my lips are sealed until Terry's are not. Or until he gets caught with one of those damn flipcams.

Dear Ted:
It is 4 a.m. here in Chicago, and I am up sipping tea to sooth my never-ending sore throat. I just saw a snippet of Robin Robertson's interview with Janet Jackson. She was talking about M.J.'s death and her family's attempt at interventions. She also puts it out there who she blames for her brother's death. Although she looked beautifully madeup and composed in the interview, her eyes looked so sad. Any thoughts? Is Janet really speaking from the heart?

Dear Questioning Heartache:
Janet speaks more from the heart, whereas Joe speaks more from the pocketbook. But there are still many things left unsaid in this family.

Dear Ted:
I just don't think Taylor-Squared is real. With the obvious hints in interviews and how it's conveniently getting them more attention around the rerelease of her album and the release of New Moon, it just seems too perfect. And if Taylor Swift's a good friend, she wouldn't date Selena Gomez's ex. It just doesn't make sense.
Robs 

Dear Couple Coverage:
What, you don't buy the obvious? Me, neither. 

Dear Ted:
I understand that Twilight is the topic du jour, and that's fine. I'll even cheer on Robsten. I've watched the rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan through your eyes, I knew all about Paris Hilton well before her sex tape and I've recently started to obsess about Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles' epic bromance under your dizzying influence. At this point, I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll take whatever you throw at me, and I mean that in the best possible way! However, you asked who else you should report on, apart from the Twilight cast, so while you may have meant that as a rhetorical question, here is my wish list: Pink. What's up with her and her on-again, off-again husband? Viggo Mortensen. He's hot, edgy, offbeat. How can he not be juicy? Gerard Butler (I know, I know, but I still kinda like him). Lady Gaga. Keanu Reeves. Guy Ritchie. Thom Yorke. Lily Allen. Any of these sound good to you, babe?
Agusta

Dear Celeb Suggestion:
First of all, we dished on Pink's possibly naughty husband (just for you). Love Lady Gaga, as any good boy should, but she just doesn't have that many secrets. I'll work on the rest for you, but I'll tell ya, Jackles is one of my faves so far.

Dear Ted:
Sorry we keep bringing up Angelina Jolie, but can you tell us why she insists on wearing floor-length black dresses nearly all of the time, even when out with the kids shopping?
Barbara 

Dear Fashion Police:
She's usually hiding stuff. Duh.

Dear Ted:
What does Angelina like to eat when she has dinner?
Mo 

Dear Weird Question:
From what it's looking like lately, nothing.

Dear Ted:
There has been an uproar of extreme anger toward you recently in the comments section. The complaint against you is that you have been misleading and/or blatantly lying to your readers about a certain Blind Vice. This particular Vice has had three iterations to tickle our fancy. So, here is the question on my and many others' lips: What the ef? Seriously, are there instances where you are pressured by people such as lawyers to back way the heck off of the clues you've been giving and, in fact, print things that might lead your readers to draw different conclusions than the ones most have drawn, thus keeping their clients safely closeted? Or were the majority of us just barkin' up the wrong tree? Throw us a bone here, pretty please!
Sam

Dear Pissed B.V.s:
Please, I do whatever I want (in certain legal limits). I'll try to steer you the wrong way sometimes when it's getting too easy...but come on, I'll never lie. Or mislead. Some people are upset about something I'm not even implying!

Dear Ted:
What is Fake à la Ferocity's drug of choice? Heroin or crystal meth? Both are horrible, I was just curious.
Sara, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Dear Fake 'n' Bake:
Heroin.

Dear Ted:
What is up with the whole Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen relationship? They are hardly seen together? I know he's a Blind Vice, but can you give just a tiny clue as to which one he might be? Rachel should have stayed with Adam Brody—he is super hot...What was she thinking!
Melia 

Dear Thumbs-Down Haychel:
Beats me. I loved those O.C. sweethearts. 

Dear Ted:
When Angelina Jolie eventually dumps Brad Pitt, he'll be looking for a new "love of his life" and/or "soul mate." Of the following three actresses who do you think would be more his type: Natalie Portman, Julie Dreyfus or Robin Wright Penn?
Chicky

Dear Soul Mate Searcher:
None of the above—they aren't dark enough.

Dear Ted:
I always thought that you could tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, so imagine my surprise when I found out that nice-guy Jared Padalecki is friends with King of the Douche Bags, Chad Michael Murray! Pretty please, restore my faith in good people and tell me that Jared doesn't share any of Chad's nastier qualities? Hopefully yours,
Radha

Dear Wrong Friends:
No, not Chad's, but some One Tree Hillers' for sure.

Dear Ted:
John Mayer
and Gerard Butler are sleazy hot. They're the guys you don't take home to meet mama, that you would never want as a boyfriend but who you have dirty, hot sex in the back alley with.
Ballerina 

Dear Good Observation:
Yes, yes they are, but you won't be happy about it when you have to visit the doctor after.

Dear Ted:
Is it possible that since Catherine Hardwicke said all this stuff about Robsten, they would get upset she blabbed about their relationship and go back in the dating closet for a while? I really hope not since we were finally getting the good stuff, but you never know with these two!
Kimberly

Dear Relationship Outing:
I think Rob and Kristen are over it. They won't confirm anything; it's up to the fans to know how to take it.

Dear Ted:
Is Toothy Tile Hugh Jackman? He obviously loves his kids and hangs out with his wife and looks happy. But that grin...There's something mischievous about him, and that intriguing grin seems to say, "We all know my secret—if not, think you can guess?" Not that it should matter; we'd love him no matter what! Personally, I love the nuances and lack of white-bread suburbia in anyone willing to risk showing that side of themselves!
Seattle Suburban Soccer Mom

Dear Guessing Mom:
Someone already guessed that, and I already said nope! Sorry, hon, wrong vice for Hugh. Think less slick.

Dear Ted:
How can I see this Ashley Greene-Jackson Rathbone kissing pic that everyone is talking about? I can't seem to find it, or I'm not looking in the right places. Help!
K

Dear Search Engine:
Google? Or how bout I make it easier for you...Here ya go!

Dear Ted:
I can't be the only one wondering about the other big "are they or aren't they": Cory Monteith and Lea Michele from Glee! I think there is very little mystery left for the Robsten relationship, so I think you should do some digging for the Cory and Lea deets. The show is awesome and is getting a huge following, so there should be plenty of interest.
Gleeks Rule

Dear Gleeful Love:
Cory's trying to take a cue from the Robsten playbook or something with the nondenial denials. I could totally see something up between these two—whether it's a onetime fling or more remains to be seen. 

Dear Ted:
I was hoping for a Newlyweds reunion between Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, but it looks like it won't happen. Why does Nick insist on staying with Vanessa Minnillo?
Emma 

Dear Old-School:
Why did Justin Timberlake ever hook up with Jessica Biel, for that matter? Men and their penises can be so weirdly wrong.
