Morning Mail! Is Robert Pattinson Really Set for Hunger Games Sequel?!

Dear Ted:
Holy crap, Teddy bear!!! It looks like legit websites are reporting that Lionsgate is courting Robert Pattinson to play Finnick in Catching Fire. I know you've always said that there won't be any Twi-Hunger Games crossover, but now I'm not so sure. Give me the scoop, please! I want to see him in a movie with Jennifer Lawrence, I just never thought it'd be this one!

Dear Finding Finnick:
There have been "insider" rumors that Rob would be joining The Hunger Games crew since, well, forever now. And did you know that Kristen Stewart is going to be playing Johanna?! And Taylor Lautner Mags! I'd chalk them up to simply fan hopes at this point, I can't see Lionsgate wanting to bring on more comparisons to the vamp-tastic franchise. And I really can't see Rob wanting to jump in bed with another teen franchise anytime soon. But, if he were, how hilarious would a J.Law-R.Pattz press tour be? Don't think it's going to happen, tho.
Dear Ted:
I've been a big fan of Lindsay Lohan's eyebrows. Yes I said eyebrows. But lately I've noticed her face shape and brows are dramatically different than her Mean Girls days. I'm a few months older than her, so I know that its not age. So why does LiLo look so different?

Just days after Ace Young hijacked Wednesday's American Idol finale with a tearful proposal to Diana DeGarmo, he is spilling all the details that went into the night's big engagement (including how he made Ryan Seacrest tear up pre-show).

The TV show that for so long defied the era of diminished TV ratings aired its least-watched finale ever Wednesday night, early projections say.
But being in the modern world does have its advantages.
American Idol Backstage Scoop: Phillip Phillips Calls Win "So Unreal"
Michael Becker/FOX
After last night's 132 million votes and a star-studded grand finale show, confetti showered down as Phillip Phillps was crowned the new American Idol.
Sitting with 6,999 other Idol fans in the Nokia Theatre, there was no denying the vibe was electric. The audience was absolutely going nuts over the superstar guest performances and fancy stage production, but however great the entertainment, fans were still chomping at the bit for the final results, and it's safe to say no one was sitting down when Ryan Seacrest broke the news.
So what was Phillips' reaction, and how is runner-up Jessica Sanchez handling her loss now that the cameras stopped rolling? We got the stars to spill backstage!

"This has always been home to us and I felt this was the perfect place to ask a simple question," Ace said.
And what could that be, hmmm?
American Idol Finale: Who Won the Whole Thing?!
Michael Becker/FOX
The winner of American Idol has been revealed.
First, Jennifer Lopez debuted her new single, "Going In," on what was most likely her last night as an Idol judge. Aerosmith performed. There were tributes to Donna Summer and Robin Gibb. All of the finalists got to sing with previous Idol champs and the occasional legend. Ace Young asked Diana DeGarmo to marry him.
But it came down to that last minute, to the result based on the record 132.3 million votes cast in favor of either Phillip Phillips or Jessica Sanchez. Did the 21-year-old pawn-shop worker take it all, or did the 16-year-old powerhouse finally the break the guys' winning streak?
