Dear Ted:
In a Bitch-Back a few weeks back, you wrote that you thought Ryan Gosling would go bizarro before he settled down for good. Please elaborate on this, because I totally get a sort of wacko vibe from him too (I mean, he is filmed walking around NYC alone playing a banjo, he breaks up street fights and has a self-professed obsession with skeletons and ghosts). I can't decide though, if he really doesn't care about the whole Hollywood scene or what other people think and is a bit of a quirky loner, or if he is totally playing us all as part of a clever PR-strategy?

Dear Wack-o-meter:
At this point we are all just holding on and wondering, too. Did you see the breaking news this weekend of Ry out with his costar Eva Mendes and having a PDA hay day at Disneyland? Sure, hooking up with a hot costar isn't exactly out of the norm for H'wood, but he's been dishing out some wacky vibes—the chicks obviously dig it, but do the fans? Like he gives a crap, which is so the sexiest thing about him.

Dear Ted:
Is Justin Timberlake relevant in the entertainment industry anymore, be it as a musician or an actor? I am a J.T. fan, have been from his ' N Sync days. It seems like he has all but disappeared, or does he just enjoying keeping a low profile? Was fame just a stepping stone to bigger things for him away from the spotlight?

Dear Sexy-Back:
J.T. is most definitely a relevant figure in Hollywood. With his recent vocal pop-up concerts in NYC, we have to wonder what it all means. Yeah, he also wants to be an actor, which took him all of four seconds to accomplish. We think this triple threat is definitely gearing up to do it all. Let's just take a step back right now: He has a new (old) singing career with crazy moves that make us swoon, he's an actor and he has a successful clothing line. We're thinking he'll be back singing to us sooner rather than later especially with his on-again, off-again love Jessica Biel back in the picture.

Dear Ted:
I always wonder is Britney Spears and Jason Trawick's relationship toxic, or he is the best guy she ever dated?

Dear Relationship Wizard:
Britney and Jason seem to have a real old-fashioned relaysh with no drama (that we can see). And for this we applaud them. Brit-Brit seems to be healthy, happy and really turning this around for herself. She's looking and acting like the old Brittney and that rules. Jason seems to be grounding her, and we should all be happy to have her back making music and not headlines. Go Brit!

Dear Ted:
Thank you for calling Michael Vick out, Ted! People seem so fine to let what he did go because of football, it's horrifying.

Dear Puppy Love:
You are welcome for the Michael Vick story. We are glad so many people are as passionate as we are about the pups in their lives. We must say to all the nay-sayers out there, we were not saying he didn't do his time, and we never made it a race issue. It's always his defenders who bring those excuses up: Vick's crimes are about lack of remorse, period.
