Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz is ready to ditch sparkling vampires for something even shinier: Oscar gold.

The 27-year-old showed he isn't short on ambition by boldly predicting that he'll nab a statuette one day.

"I want to act for the rest of my life," he tells DuJour magazine. "I'll win an Oscar one day, but I'm in no rush to get there. I don't care if that takes me 50 years, and I'm old. I just love what I do."

Hey, the Twilight saga already boasts two Oscar nominees among its ranks: Anna Kendrick, who scored a nod for Up in the Air, and Michael Sheen, who nabbed one for The Queen.

Positive thinking!

Here's what else went down last night:

Cha-Ching! Ashton Kutcher topped Forbes' list of highest-paid actors on TV, a spot that used to belong to Charlie Sheen. Funny how that happens.

Home, Sweet Home: Looks like Britney Spears has a new place to call home after snagging a multimillion dollar pad in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Chelsea Lately and Friends: In case you were wondering, Miley Cyrus can't get enough of Honey Boo Boo. And Chelsea Handler gets a surprise visit from Will Ferrell, but he wasn't there to play nice.

The Guests Have Arrived: The rumored wedding ceremony for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel in Italy is beginning to snap into focus after photos of their friends, like Andy Samberg, were spotted at the nuptials' purported location.

TV Land: Last night's episode of The X Factor was all screwy, but here's what we found out. Also, it was the premiere of American Horror Story! Here's what's coming up next on AHS.
