Link Party: John Mayer Hates Being a Douche Bag, and Angelina Hates Obama
• John Mayer opens up about his struggle with being a womanizing douche bag in the new Details. He invites his haters to stage a douche bag intervention on him so he can call them douche bags.
• President Obama just joined Jennifer Aniston on the list of people Angelina Jolie hates. (Do we really have to drag the president into this nonsense?) Meanwhile, Life & Style believe Angie's next target is Johnny Depp.
• James Franco on General Hospital is the dose of WTF your day needs.
• Here's a fun Miley Cyrus acting all diva-y story: She was at a Pop Burger in NYC and the manager asked for her name for her order and she was all, "Are you serious? You don't recognize me? I'm Miley Cyrus." Then the manager was all, "That's nice for you. Here is your order. Have a good day."
• Enough, Leighton Meester! You have to stop this pop star thing! You've gone too far now and no one seems able to tell you "no," so we're just going to have to do it. No more singing.

Taylor Swift's out walking in our Big Pic. She does that a lot—walking and looking precious.
Whoa! Kim Kardashian Is Seriously Shrinking
As we all know, our dear E! reality star Kim Kardashian loves to tweet photos of herself in bikinis, and this past Sunday she gave us another one. Gotta give those 2.6 million followers what they want, right?
Well, we're so used to seeing Kim in a bikini that we usually don't pay much attention, but whoa! What happened to the curvy vixen we all fell in love with? Is this the result of the camera angle, the recent spray tan, the makeup?
She tweeted along with the pic: "Quick Trim photo shoot today in Miami! I finally feel I've reached my goal!"
Let us all think back to this past September, when she tweeted a different bikini Quick Trim shot (that would be the photo on the left). There's something about old Kim we miss. Nevertheless, congrats on reaching your goal.

One Last Shot of Taylor Lautner's Abs
Just when we thought it was safe to check out the newsstand and not have to see any more New Moon covers, Rolling Stone releases their special edition Taylor Lautner wet T-shirt contest issue.
Great timing, Rolling Stone. While some may still appreciate Taylor's striptease show, the rest of us already saw the goods plenty this past weekend. We've also reset our Twilight Countdown clocks and can't be bothered with any more New Moon promotion, especially when the interview is all about the gym and how boring Taylor is.
From now on, it's all Eclipse, all the time. See you in seven months, Tay-Tay! By then you'll even be of age, which will make this whole operation you got going on completely legal.

Link Party: Brangelina Saves the World, Several Million Dollars at a Time
• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still doing what they can to save the world. Last year they donated $6.4 million to charities—that's more than double what they gave the previous year.
• Adam Lambert is getting all the attention he could ever dream of after last night's "shocking" performance.
• Have you ever wondered what Katie Couric booty dancing might look like? It's your lucky day! Happy Almost Thanksgiving!
• Creed's Scott Stapp is talking about the sex tape where he and Kid Rock get blow jobs on a tour bus. He would prefer if we didn't call it a sex tape because, "well, there's no sex on the sex tape," he says. "For it to get characterized that way, I mean, that kind of sucks." Celebrities have really gotten picky about how we label their sex tapes.
• Well, this is probably one of the dumbest fake Robert Pattinson quotes we've read (but too dumb not to share!): "People ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair. I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me HIV and I don't want to get shot or stabbed."

Fashion Police: Too Many Bad Dresses at the AMAs

Last night's AMAs were not only about tripping all over yourself, they were also about bad fashion. Yay, our favorite!
Nicole Kidman continues to underwhelm us in another pastel, ruffled, tiered dress, this time by Balenciaga. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez went with too much matchy-matchy white in head-to-toe Gucci. We will say it's nice to see her smile and not doing that sex face she usually makes.
A couple of question regarding Kristen Bell. What is she doing there? And is that really a tube top with a high-waisted skirt? OK, cool, just wanted to make sure we were seeing things right because...ew!
Kate Hudson was there to pimp Nine (you know, the movie where she sings) in a vintage Gianni Versace chainmail dress that was not only totally shapeless but was on the verge of exposing some nipple...
Reset Your Twilight Countdown Clocks for Eclipse
All right, so we all saw New Moon at least twice this past weekend, right? (If only we had all seen it three times...) And it was pretty awesome or fun or terrible or whatever depending on your fandom level!
But it's really time we move on and reset our Twilight countdown for Eclipse. Today makes it about seven months and a week until our favorite gang of moody teenagers bring their tortured love triangle back to the big screen.
For now, all we've got is this new Eclipse poster, which hints that the third installment will be pretty cloudy. Ahhhhh! Cannot wait!

Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Best Talk Show Moments
Happy New Moon weekend, everyone! We gotta hand it to Rob, Kristen and Taylor, they all worked so hard over the past month to promote their little vampire movie, which culminated last night in a three-way (pre-taped) interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now they can all go back to their normal lives. For Taylor that means pumping iron and practicing back flips all day, while Rob and Kristen lurk around the shadows of Chateau Marmont.
But before we say goodbye to the gang until they resurface for Eclipse this summer, we thought we'd put together our favorite moments from the past week's talk show appearances. (And there were a lot of them—Ellen, Conan, Leno, Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Today, Regis and Kelly.)
Usually they’re met with the same questions: Did you ever expect this to be so big? How is this movie different from the last? OMG, fans are so crazy, right? They scream so much! How did you bulk up to play Jacob Black? Are you dating Kristen? What do you think of your Barbie? Will you throw this football? (Both Taylor and Kristen had to do that, btw.)
Still, there were some fun moments to be had and we've compiled them all right here just in case you fell asleep while Taylor talked about his workout regime for the 13th time.
Let's see what we got:
Link Party: Robert Pattinson Can Play Nonvampires
• Look! A movie where Robert Pattinson doesn't play a vampire but instead a lost guy going through a quarterlife crisis who finds his happiness through a quirky girl who eats her dessert first! OMG! Ahhh! Hmmm, this Remember Me movie is a lot harder to get excited about than those Twilight ones. We tried though.
• Ever wanted that dead-in-the-eye, bland Hollywood starlet look? Well, Lauren Conrad is releasing a style book to help you achieve just that. It will undoubtedly sell lots of copies, and we will be sad about that.
• Videos of Lady Gaga when she still went by the name Stefani Germanotta are always so fascinating.
• The New York Times Magazine decided not to print Megan Fox's crotch shots in its profile of the actress 'cause it's classy like that (leave that stuff to Rolling Stone), but they still made it to the Internet anyway!
• Now for an update on Amy Winehouse's fake breasts from, you guessed it, her father: She "had a little leaky something or other" and they "looked wonky." Everything about that is gross.

Today our favorite billy goat, Brad Pitt, makes a Big Pic appearance and he's looking...cool? Is that what we should call him?
Robert Downey Jr.: So Good at Acting, He's Quitting
Robert Downey Jr. is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly to promote his upcoming movie, Sherlock Holmes ("Holmes for the Holiday!"), and he admits he's torn between having a life and acting.
On one hand, he wants to hang out with his wife and go see movies:
"I have no set plans for my future," Downey says. "I've never had it this good—this is my day in the sun—and I certainly don’t want to look a gift horse in the molars. But Susan [Downey, his wife] and I want to begin to be in our lives as much as we are in our jobs."
But on the other hand, he's, like, really good at acting and doesn't want to deprive the world of his greatness:
Link Party: Rape "Jokes" Make View Ladies Laugh
• The View ladies laughed uncomfortably at an awkward rape joke made by Modern Family's Sofia Vergara. It's the most uncomfortable 22 seconds of TV we've seen in a while, and this letter sums up everything they need to hear.
• Carmen Electra worked really hard making this (NSFW) naked tape, and she'd really appreciated if you could take three minutes out of your day to watch it.
• Just so you know, this is your Sexiest Man Alive. Thought we'd keep you updated.
• Looks like Kirstie Alley hates Conan O'Brien more than our own Mr. Josh, which is comforting to know.
• Everyone have an extra shot of barley milk tonight in honor of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' third anniversary.
• It's possible that Rihanna has found a new boyfriend. That's very interesting news but really we're more intrigued by the fanny pack she wore out last night.

Is Zac Efron looking dreamier than usual in our Big Pic, or is it just us?
Gerard Butler Thinks He's Hilarious; Do You?
Gerard Butler paid tribute to Michael Jackson yesterday by dangling a fake baby out the window of his London hotel room. Aw, remember when M.J. did that with a real baby in Berlin? Memories...
Anyway, Gerry's fake baby is actually a plant wrapped in a towel, and he looks a little too pleased with himself. You can just tell he's high-fiving himself in his head for coming up with such an epically funny stunt that's actually pretty lame. And that is what we find amusing.

Fashion Police: Leighton Meester Loses It
We're concerned about Leighton Meester. We've always loved her as Gossip Girl's resident queen bee, Blair Waldorf, which makes it difficult for us to accept her as a pop star. But we know how it works with these actresses: If it's not a record deal, it'll be a clothing line or jewelry designing or perfume. So if Leighton wants to sing, fine. (Plus "Somebody to Love" is cheeky fun.)
What concerns us, though, is Leighton's attempt at a sexy image makeover to go along with the pop career. There was the "Somebody to Love" music video where she looked like she was trying way too hard to bring the sexy. And this photo (left) from December's GQ is more uncomfortable than titillating.
She showed more poor decision-making skills at last night's American Eagle flagship store opening in New York City. The evidence:
