Dear Ted:
Is there something Scarlett Johansson is hiding? That infamous running pic with Sean Penn that had everyone asking about a bump. And now, the latest picture from the White House Correspondents Dinner where she's leaving with Penn, either the dress is really not flattering to her figure or that is a baby bump. Any clues?

Dear Ted:
Whatever comes out of Scarlett's mouth is not what's going on. Just like when Scarlett denied she and Ryan Reynolds were engaged, next thing you know, they're friggin' married! Just as quick was ScarJo's quick denial that anything was growing inside her after those revealing jogging pics you mentioned, wouldn't surprise me in the least if the dame wasn't actually preggers. And, of course, at this slobbering point, ScarPenn damn well will be pregnant soon!

Dear Ted:
After reading your coverage of The Hunger Games casting, I decided to read the series. I just finished, and it was amazing! I kept trying to imagine who could play Cinna the stylist, and Christian Siriano from Project Runway kept popping into my head. I don't know if he can act, but his sparse personal presentation next to his fierce designs seem like the perfect mix of the strong rebel with a Capital flair that makes up Cinna's character. Am I totally crazy?

Dear Fellow Hunger Fan:
No, not at all! Actually think it's a pretty good idea. And since the studio is leaning toward less obvious casting (i.e., hardly any huge box-office names), it might make sense with the kind of boutique casting they're predominantly going with. Or another idea would be Ed Westwick, what do you think?

Dear Ted:
I saw on Keith Urban's Facebook page that he and John Mayer played together in Vegas this past weekend. Any chance there's more to it than a possible respect for each other's musical talents? Rumors have had it for years that both Keith and John both like to play the same type of instruments...

Dear Whuh?
What are you implying, that Keith and John set up their own private nude-bongo session together while in Vegas? Don't quite understand, but I'm certain Nicole does. Why don't you ask her about it?

Dear Ted:
Do you think that maybe Alex Pettyfer fancies himself as the new Christian Bale? It seems like he's hoping to make himself memorable in Hollywood by acting like a jerk (the way Bale has done), but he forgets that Bale has some acting ability to back up his temperamental attitude. Do you think this may be a well planned publicity stunt or what?
Sonja

Dear Lame Game:
Yes, there's definitely a calculated side to what Alex is spewing lately, but if he's going for some kind of grand plan, he's in danger of looking far more Andy Dick than Christian Bale. I would rethink that one if I were him.

Dear Ted:
It's been a while since you last mentioned Strippa Rip-Ya. Is this because her husband has quit mistreating her and her situation has improved? Or is it wishful thinking on my part?

Dear Dream On:
Even though the hubby always make apologetic sweet time with his woman, Caesar's not about to stop his controlling, abusive behavior overall. It may have slowed, as of late, but Caesar's still just waiting for the next time to explode. Strippa, meanwhile, is a total idiot thinking this guy's going to change.

Dear Ted:
Who cares about William and Kate? Long live Prince Harry. Can we just see him naked, already? Chelsea Davy is way fortunate to be smashing that. She needs to land him sooner than later.

Dear Fine by Me:
On all scores! And because you just know Chelsea's the next Fergie and Harry's the next Beckham.

Dear Ted:
How about Marcia Cross as Cookie Muncher?

Dear Nibble:
You're actually closer than you realize! Just not in the right oeuvre.

Dear Ted:
Is it me or does something smell fishy with the LeAnn Rimes-Eddie Cibrian marriage? Here's why: She's clearly more into him than he is into her. And her weight, stupid Twitter, and need to explain herself and give excuses, clearly shows an insecure person not only with herself, but with her relationship. Why is no one pointing out the desperation to get him to love her? My gut feeling is he's still in love with his ex and LeAnn knows this. So, she tries and tries to make herself perfect (i.e. boob job, skinny, etc) for him. Mark my words, this marriage won't last. If anything, it'll be a nasty breakup. Oh, as for Eddie, he's a loser. He's only with Leann for her money.

Dear You Said It:
I don't need to add a thing!

Dear Ted:
You stated that Vanessa Hudgens would totally corrupt Josh Hutcherson. Does this mean V.Hudge is a Blind Vice? Can we get a hint on that one?
Dave   

Dear V-Man:
She's an also-starring, not a major character in Vice history. However, Vanessa's trying to bounce up to feature player pronto!

Dear Ted:
Thanks to you, The Hunger Games is now on my radar. I just started it and I've got my own idea about Haymitch: Jeff Bridges. He can do the drunk well and the scary cool mentor (True Grit). What's your call? Haven't gotten to President Snow yet, but why not consider Michael Emerson?
JenB

Dear You're Welcome:
Bridges for Haymitch has been mentioned before; I just don't think it'll make that much of splash, should Jeff get cast. Also think a tad younger would be nice. Still think Brad Pitt would be great.

Dear Ted:
I want to know if Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple in real life?

Dear No Kidding:
You just joining us here the Awful Truth?

Dear Ted:
Have you heard anything about HRH the Duke of Schlongsbury being gay or bi?

Dear Det. Blind Vice:
Yes, but remember, darling, it's England. Men diddling each other over there is akin to guys shaking hands in this country.

Dear Ted:
Thanks for linking to my blog, Realityravings.com, in your blog post on Rachel Zoe. I was thrilled as I am a big fan of your blog.

Dear N.P.:
You're so welcome! Now let's get something straight, do think Rachel's actually eating food like she says she is?

Dear Ted: 
Why are the E! commentators and writers calling Catherine Middleton "Kate?" I thought she specifically asked not to be called that. Has she done something to offend the media?

Dear Name Cop:
The palace is the one that really made that request. And even if Kate herself started demanding to be called that, the media would never budge, William and Catherine  takes way, way too long for any reporter to ever type or say!
