Dear Ted:
You say Jennifer Garner isn't so nice. But why do you say that? There must be a reason? I would love to hear that because I'm having a hard time accepting that. P.S.: I love Kristen Stewart!
—Mattias from Belgium

Dear Too Many to Type:
Rude to friends, fans and husbands plus she's totally manipulative.

Dear Ted:
I know that as a gossip site you find ways to sensationalize stories, and admittedly, I buy into them just as much as the next girl. But please remember Miley Cyrus is 16, and while I appreciate your opinions on David Letterman and the inherent misogyny in Hollywood, maybe you should think about applying these feminist ideals to Miley, who is, after all, only a performer and what we see of her is only the entertainer side. I hope I'm not too preachy; I'm just a big fan who doesn't consider her age-inappropriate or slutty at all (a term which when used sets a much worse example for kids than anything Miley might do).
—A.sisley 

Dear Side Cyrus:
Have you seen Mean Girls? Regina George's little sister who is in front of the TV and copying the "Milkshake" dance? Imagine a 7-year-old finding a pole-like object and gyrating on it, like Miley did at the Teen Choice Awards. Not exactly a fab role model, but I get your point.

Dear Ted:
Started reading A.T. this summer and now I find myself checking in every day. Keep up the good work Ted! Have you ever had a Blind Vice on Robert Pattinson?
—Love from Norway

Dear Up Front:
Kind of. 

Dear Ted:
Have you heard about the H.A.P.Y. act? A bill has been introduced for tax relief for pet owners. Please check it out and contact your congressman. Thanks!
—Kathy 

Dear Politically Correct:
Will check it out. Heaven knows my vet bills could use it.

Dear Ted:
Who is the bigger (no pun intended) douche: Seth Green or Kevin Connolly?
—Hayden

Dear Gross and Grosser:
Connolly. But it's close.

Dear Ted:
What is up with the Nikki Reed hate? She is a gorgeous girl with flawless illuminating skin, mesmerizing eyes and healthy hair. I think the girl is beautiful and she seems so sweet to everyone. All the fan encounters say so. She has also made Maxim's sexiest list this year (without even taking her clothes off). Just because she might have hooked up with Rob doesn't mean everyone should hate the poor girl. Give her a break!
—Aliza8

Dear Fresh Thinker:
What, are you like totally rational or something?

Dear Ted:
First, Roman Polanski can suck it. Second, what real celebrity's personal life resembles Vincent Chase from Entourage? Third, I'm going to use you as my gay expert if you don't mind. If two women get married are there groomsmen or a best man, or two maids of honor? Thanks.
—Dstack 

Dear Fun One:
I'm gonna go with Mark Wahlberg back in the day since the show's loosely based on his life. And as to your query—and especially since it's two gals getting hitched—I'm gonna say anything goes. Women are so much better at breaking old stereotypes and barriers, right?

Dear Ted:
If you feel Shiloh is going to need therapy—what about Suri Cruise? TomKat parades their pet princess around in front of paps far more than Brangelina has ever done with their kids—and that is totaling up all their appearances together and separately!
—Dmverlen 

Dear Nepotism:
They'll go to therapy together. It'll be a bonding sesh for the two.

Dear Ted:
I was wondering if you had any hot gossip on one of my favorite actors, Ewan McGregor, or if he has ever been a subject of a Blind Vice. Lots of love!
—HH in NJ

Dear Foreign Import:
I do. He has a very large penis and he's extremely fond of showing it off. And yes. Tons of love back, babe!

Dear Ted:
Why is everyone assuming that Rob was the top of the Nikki-Rob-Kristen triangle? Way more fun if Kristen was...would explain a lot...
—Adell

Dear Fantasizing About K.Stew:
Ooo aren't you naughty. We just assumed Rob, well, because he's Rob…but I guess you can never really know, right?

Dear Ted:
Good job, bud. I enjoy reading each day re: Robsten. There sure are a lot of haters out there, and lately they are coming out of the woodwork tenfold. Kinda makes me laugh. Made me pissed before; now I just laugh. Why? 'Cause it doesn't matter what they are told, how they are told, when they are told. These types of people will just have to come to the conclusion that lo and behold those two are in love....with each other, all by themselves, of their own accord.
—Jennifer

Dear See the Light:
There are tons of readers who know the truth, too, so that makes it all right!

Dear Ted:
That pic of David Duchovny is not him leaving Chelsea Piers; it's from the summer. David frequently is out with the kids and no Téa, not that unusual, but it is interesting that Téa and West went to Brazil in August for a Unicef thing, but David stayed behind with Miller. Last year you hoped Téa dumped him for making her second-best, etc. Are you being sarcastic now when you say you hope they don't become estranged, or do you really think Téa should stay with him now, and if so, what made you change your mind? Any recent pics of the two hardly look couply at all; they don't look happy and D has repeatedly said he's not happy living in N.Y. on recent talk shows. If a couple is in love and really is happy, you'd think the location wouldn't matter; especially a great city like N.Y., where he grew up.
—Dog 

Dear Gillovny 4 Life:
We weren't intending to match the pic—can't always work out like that. Especially when there were no pics of him there. As for David and Téa they're just another Hollywood couple faking it and trying to make it. I wish things were different in this town.

Dear Ted:
What are your thoughts on Taylor Lautner attending Taylor Swift's concert in Chicago? I think they would be supercute!
—Tiffany 

Dear Tay-Tay Forever:
Think they'd be presh, too! He was totally there to support his girl, don't you think?

Dear Ted:
Saw your item about Robsten on Twitter—I hate Twitter and I'm so glad they don't; they're both so much more interesting than the movie they were in together and both quite talented. Keep them off Twitter—mystery is a good thing!
—Michael S

Dear Yes, but…:
I like to be updated with everything that happens to them! Plus Twitter is getting boring; it needs to get spiced up by these rebel lovers. Very important.

Dear Ted:
All of this talk about Obama's refusal to support marriage equality is leaving me oddly nostalgic for Will & Grace. I know that Eric McCormack is married with kids, and Sean Hayes refuses to comment on his sexuality, but are these two honestly not gay?
—Nancy

Dear Loaded Q:
Oh, please, that's what everybody said about Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal after Brokeback Mountain, remember? Aren't we past this stuff yet?

Dear Ted:
I conditionally love you and all, but please settle this Jennifer Garner dispute: Did this "involvement" actually involve you or was it just word of mouth from friends? It's getting to nuclear levels, but I would think Garner putting up a secret "bitchface" would make her seem like the perfect PR machine and more human! Come on, Teddy, no one can ever be that nice without snapping once in awhile. Well, except for those daytime talk-show hosts.
—Fiona

Dear Gagging Over Garner:
Ask any reporter in the biz—this woman is miserable. It's not just personal run-ins (with many members of Team Awful, including Taryn Ryder and myself and beyond) but she's more often than not hideous to her fans, too.

Dear Ted:
So what's the deal with Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift? Are they really dating, or is this a Vaughniston-esque publicity stunt for their upcoming movie? And if they're not dating, is there anyone in T.L.'s sights at the moment? Kisses to Margo and Charlie!
—Sarah

Dear Terrible Comparison:
No—if PR could have it their way Taylor would be "dating" Kristen. Too bad we blew the lid off that publicity stunt before it got legs!

Dear Ted:
You know how Nikki Reed said she had nothing going on with Robert Pattinson, well, what is up with the paparazzi pics of her hanging out with Rob's parents and sisters? There are fan pics of Nikki hanging out with Rob and his close friends, too. You cannot tell me that there was nothing between the two.
—Angela

Dear Team Nikki:
Yeah, funny, too, since she said in Seventeen that out of the cast she and Rob were the ones not close at all. She's hiding something, all I'm sayin'.

Dear Ted:
Keep up the great work on behalf of our furry family members! My beloved dog, Rosie, is a rescue, as were all our other pets. You mentioned that the dynamics keep changing for Robsten. First Rob's lusting for her and Kristen's wearing the pants and then it's the opposite. Is Rob in control now and when did the situation change? I really like both of them and wish people would lay off Kristen. Think it's major jealousy.
—Viking 

Dear Unisex Pants:
Tough to say who's in control now. And it'll switch again. Probably right after New Moon.

Dear Ted:
Sometimes I feel like Jekyll and Hyde are writing your column, sometimes in the same post, no less. Take your answers to letters earlier this week about Toothy Tile. First you tell us you can't respect Toothy since he doesn't respect himself. To this reader that sounds like you think someone who beards has no self-respect and doesn't deserve respect. Then you turn around and say Toothy has a beard to stay relevant. You seem to be implying that is a good thing, so taken together, it sounds like you're saying if only Toothy would respect himself for bearding, he'd be OK in your book.
—Puzzled

Dear No and No:
I'm not justifying Toothy's reasoning, just explaining why in his mind (and his handlers) a beard is worth the trouble. It does keep him relevant, especially since his career is lackluster lately. Doesn't mean I agree with it.

Dear Ted:
I was just at our local animal shelter. Please share with your readers that even if they can't bring home or foster an animal, they can still help. The economy has really affected the privately sponsored and municipal shelters. If people have old towels and blankets, they are really needed with cooler weather coming. And bags/cans of dog food are also appreciated. Oh—and I love your blolum, I sneak read it at work every afternoon! Thanks for the guilty pleasures and take care!
—Blueflier

Dear Good One:
You did the work for me!

Dear Ted:
I demand that you give me a straight answer. If you could pick the top three husbands in Hollywood...for being good husbands, fathers and all-around good guys (and not fakes)...who would they be? Thanks hon!
—Sandy

Dear Sugar Daddys:
Hanks, Smith and Gyllenhaal (to Reese's kids, of course; don't coffee-klatch fams count, too?).
