The Awful Truth

Dear Ted:
Is it possible that Alexander Skarsgård is just friends with these women he goes out with? Isn't it more likely that he will end up settling down with someone who is not in the Business and who will give him lots of teacup humans of his own?
—ritergrl

Dear Friends With Benefits:
Why is that scenario more likely? Actors are known for hooking up with other actors. Guys like Matt Damon are the exception, sweets. And even if Alex hasn't done the nasty with his female costars, at least one half of these ever-changing duos wants to. You don't hold hands with and bat your eyelashes at superhot babes you just want to be pals with.

Dear Ted:
This might have been last year, but I was getting my blood drawn at my doctor's and the nurse was telling a story about how she was an extra at Wrigley Field when Jen Aniston and Vince Vaughn were shooting The Break-Up. Vince would sign autographs and chat with the fans, but Jen was being her bitchy self and left a ton of fans waiting for pics and autographs. Any way to confirm the nurse's story?
—Mook

Dear Chicagoan:
Can't confirm a story from years ago—especially not one told to you while you were feeling faint and lacking blood—but I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe Jen was too focused on how her hair looked in the scene to bother with a few fans? 

Dear Ted:
You said: "Kidman just needs to explain what her participation was in the violence that was committed against the pap who was trailing her, is my point." Kidman does not owe anybody any kind of explanation, nor does any other celebrity! They have chosen to act in films. That does not give the public, journalists (and I use that word loosely), paparazzi or any other human being on the planet exclusive rights to their every breath of life! More celebrities should take the same stand against these idiots and maybe they would end the stalking and invasion of privacy so many of them have to endure.

Dear Naive:
As much as you want to believe actors are just here to act, stars like Kidman are much, much more than that. Not only are they role models (a title wanted or not), they're brands and businesses. And when the head of your company allows violence to occur, yes, something must be said. Maybe you think Chris Brown shouldn't have to say a word following his beat up of Rihanna? Or is that different in your eyes?

Dear Ted:
I've had serious gay vibes about Donny Osmond for I don't know how long. When he did that kiss with Bruno on DWTS, that seemed to confirm it. But hey, the Mormons are full of closet cases.
—mookie

Dear Prop Hate:
Is it any wonder once they come out, most don't stick to being Mormon for much longer?

Dear Ted:
Is it me, or does Rob Pattinson sometimes resemble a thinner, young John Belushi?
—P

Dear Fraternal Twins:
I absolutely refuse to see any similarities between the A.T.'s golden boy and a Belushi.

Dear Ted:
This is a video of a World War II veteran, Philip Sooner, speaking out for marriage equality in Maine. He was asked at his polling place if he supported equal rights for gays and lesbians. He responded "That's what I fought for at Omaha Beach." This man is a hero and the true embodiment of what America should be, and he deserves the widest audience possible. I thought you might want to pass this video on to the rest of your readers.
—Genevieve

Dear Proud:
Thanks for the heads-up, hon.

Dear Ted:
I know you're a Robsten fan and believer, but what's your take on Kristen Stewart? I find her refreshing and honest. And as bad a wrap as she gets, I have yet to see her be mean or unappreciative toward her fans or all the opportunities she's gained. What do you make of her attitude about media, career, style, life and the crap she's lately been putting up with?
—Savanna

Dear K.Stew Take:
She's doing the best she can—if she were only better at faking some confidence while in front of the press cameras, people would give her less crap. But she's totally real, that's her appeal for me.

Dear Ted:
Why the hell do Kristen Stewart's fans whine so damn much about her being followed every day and harassed? If you don't want her followed then stop with the craziness! I'm tired of all the attention she gets, even thought she doesn't deserve a bit of it because she's ungrateful, couldn't act if her life depended on it and she sucks!
—mizzachia

Dear That You, Nikki Reed?
You do realize a celebrity's biggest haters are their biggest fans? Otherwise you wouldn't waste so much time thinking about her.

Dear Ted:
I know vampires are what's hot right now, but all the movies, TV show, books, etc. are the same story! They are all about some tortured vampire who used to be evil, but is now good and how they fall in love with some random virgin girl and they put her in danger. Don't get me wrong, I like the whole vampire craze, but the story is getting old. Do you think there's ever going to be a vampire story that's different?
—Julia

Dear Vampy:
'Member when zombies were all slow and sloppy, then 28 Days Later came along and made them insanely fast and vicious? I'm sure something like that'll happen to vamps. Maybe someone will create a world where all the normal people are vamps and the villains are humans? (Tho True Blood sorta touches on that.) Got any ideas ya wanna pitch?

Dear Ted:
The comparison of Angelina and Elizabeth Taylor is very apt. I think the only reason Ms. Taylor married so many times was a product of the era she grew up in. "Fornicating" was less frowned on if you actually married your partner. I must say, though, that Ms. Jolie has more to learn in the area of expressing real passion on screen. Dame Elizabeth had that down pat.
—Charlotte

Dear Dame Dish:
I actually think Jolie's got some great acting chops—when she chooses to use them. Like every time she talks to the press.

Dear Ted:
I think I've finally solved one of your B.V.'s. Tom Welling is Judas Jack-Off right? With Michael Rosenbaum as Dashed Dingle-Dream?
—Smallville Fan

Dear Way Off:
Nope, sorry! Think a lot steamier than Smallville (no offense to your fandom).

Dear Ted:
I've recently become a fan of Glee and love the teacher, played by Matthew Morrison! What's his story? Any secrets?
—Hot for Teacher

Dear Glee Scene:
This photo is all we need to know about M2.

Dear Ted:
Is one of your "rock-solid" Robsten sources either Rob or Kristen? It only makes sense that if you were happy and some big corporation was telling you not to talk about your happiness that you would find a way to do so without getting caught. What better way than behind the shroud of "unnamed sources"?    
—klines

Dear New Moon Mouthpiece:
No, but it may as well be—our sources are that close to 'em.
