Dear Ted:
Now that he's conquered the box office with Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is set to star in the 19th-century drama Unbound Captives with Twilight's Robert Pattinson. Jackman is clearly going to have a lovely bromance with Pattinson, no?
Sasha

Dear Man Crush:
Hugh and Pattz is the only pairing possible that could be hotter than Robsten! Maybe they can double with Zac Efron and Leo?

Dear Ted:
I'm a proud Robstenite, one of the many regulars who twitter you. We trusted you from the very beginning. Please give a shout-out to Dylan, Jess, Ash, ICave, Lynsrob and the rest of the Elite. I've tried this a couple of times, so please answer! Now, moving on to other gossip—I wanna know more about Taylor Kitsch. Have you got any dish on him? Has he been in a B.V.?
lovrobsten

Dear Shouted-Out:
Happy now? And thanks! Taylor never been a Blind? Can't you give the dude a little room to breathe and live free before we sentence him to debauched Blind Vice purgatory?

Dear Ted:
I feel really bad about Farrah Fawcett. Did you ever interview her? Do you think the film she did on her illness is exploitative or informational? I question Ryan O'Neal's motives for promoting it, since he's a douche. Is he just trying to get some ink for his nasty self?
—GGR

Dear Poor Angel:
Never interviewed F.F., but we have many friends in common. I actually like the support Ryan's showing Farrah right now—just wish it had come a little sooner and that some had gone toward their son, Redmond, too.

Dear Ted:
I do admit to not being a Twilight person, and sometimes I don't finish reading some info on them. But my question is, what is going on with Pattinson's hair? Every picture I see it looks like he doesn't know what a hairbrush is. And people think this is attractive? What gives?
Rudy

Dear Hair Model:
His hair's the sexiest thing about him! Who doesn't love a dirty, rugged man who doesn't need a damn comb or mirror check to walk out the front door?

Dear Ted:
Is it true about Natalie Portman and Sean Penn? Hope not.
Sunshine

Dear Pennman?
We sure hope not, either! Knowing Nat's history of hooking up with nonupstanding types, tho...

Dear Ted:
You always talk about how there are sooo many gay male celebs in Hollywood; then you systematically check each one off as straight. J.T.'s not into dudes? Really? Kellan Lutz? Not bi? Really? Rob Pattinson wants Kristen Stewart? Really? (Well, I'd switch for her myself, but I digress.) Hugh Jackman, oh neve rmind. I could go on, but I think you get the point.
Marc, Tenn.

Dear Point Taken:
No celeb minds (or sues) when you out them as hetero.

Dear Ted:
You said that Judas Jack-Off was made to take up with his leading lady. Could this be Keanu Reeves and Parker Posey?
Amanda, N.Y.

Dear Jack'd Off:
Way off, love. Think for more dubiously straight.

Dear Ted:
I was just curious what your opinion was on the Jon and Kate situation, since you've been pretty mum about it all. My opinion: It just all reeks of a publicity stunt for ratings on the new season. I think it's despicable that two people can exploit their children and marriage for the sake of reality-show fame.
Laura

Dear Reality-Show Watcher:
Doubtful all this sorry drama is entirely for ratings (tho the show's producers certainly aren't too upset with all the extra attention). Some of it's just for plain ol' cheapass, whoring attention—you know, the usual.

Dear Ted:
I read Daphne Barak's horrifying Times online diary about Amy Winehouse. Can't help but wonder, is she really doing that badly? And if so, how much does Amy's life resemble that of Britney Spears'?
Cryduchat

Dear Brit Twin:
They both started falling apart around the same time, and both have a ways to go—don't let a bunch of sold-out concerts and happy-looking photo shoots tell you otherwise. That said, at least Brit's got her body back. Amy's still searching around St. Lucia for hers. 

Dear Ted:
Blab Blab Blab? More like blah blah blah. Did Summit buy you out, too, Ted?
Jenna

Dear Blabber:
It can't afford me!

Dear Ted:
Just wanted to tell you that you have inspired me. The more I read, the more I become irritated by people who want to deny different segments of society their civil rights, in this case the right for same-sex couples to marry. This issue has nothing to do with God, if God exists. It is about bigotry and intolerance. I just sent letters to my senators and congressman at the federal level and letters to my state senator and representative. I am ready to march on Washington, the state capitol in Indiana or any place else to support civil rights for everyone instead of civil rights for everyone except you and you and you. You are great to not let the issue die.
Bev, Ind.

Dear Motivated Missy:
You're a hero!

Dear Ted:
I'm one of those long-time A.T. readers who've had trouble dealing with the Twi fanatics who've flooded your site. But I've learned to deal with it and have tried to be interested in Robsten, et al. It's a little exhausting to read the comments, however, when the Twilighters post 1000-plus messages. There are some nasty arguments between the Twi fans and the non-Twi fans about the Twilight obsession as it relates to the Awful Truth. I fall somewhere in between. I get extremely frustrated when they post on Bitch Back because you usually answer questions about the Blind Vices. I can't manage to troll through all the comments to see what others think about the B.V. There are way too many making comments only about Twilight. That's the main problem. Is there some way for you to solve that?
—B.K.

Dear Robsten Segregation:
I can't contain the Twi-hards, babe. They'll relate everything to Robsten as they see fit!

Dear Ted:
Why don't you have your own li'l show 'bout all of your gossip? That would kick some ass!
Nurseec

Dear Wants More:
Thanks, I do. It's called Truth, Lies & Ted.

Dear Ted:
Hope Butch is better, Ted.
—H

Dear Sweet:
He isn't, but I pretend he is, so we both feel better. Thanks, H.

Dear Ted:
Has Russell Crowe ever been the subject of one of your Blind Vices? Or Hayden Christensen?
Chicky 

Dear Det. Vice:
Yes and yes.

Dear Ted:
Hypothetically, when a well-known female acts as a beard for a well-known man, should we assume that she's also gay, even though she's been married and has children? I just can't think of any other reason she'd agree to do it.
B.C.

Dear Think Harder:
Press.

Dear Ted:
Is Nevis Devine also know as Jonathan Rhys Meyers? He totally fits the description!
CSutherland

Dear Divinely Devine:
Not totally, he doesn't! Right on almost everything else.

Dear Ted:
Have you ever noticed the uncanny resemblance of Miss California and Marla Maples? Or perhaps a blonde is a blonde is a blonde. Never occurred to me until I saw the Donald at the press conference and remembered Marla—the first of all mistresses and his second wife. Creepy.
Weaver

Dear Flaxen-Haired Twins:
Creepy and predictable that Trump would let a busty blonde like that take a pass.

Dear Ted:
Ted, awful news. Stopped me in my tracks. It's reported on IMDb that Rob Pattinson is behind Taylor Lautner in the MTV Breakthrough Performer of the Year category. In fact, the figures stand at Taylor with 38 percent and Rob with 36 percent. Now if that cocky kid wins after four minutes of screen time and all the hard work Pattinson did supporting the film's release, I'll eat my copy of Twilight. Please put out a call via E! Online to get Rob's lazy fans voting. They are all wrapped up in Robsten, but these awards matter just as much.
I am dina

Dear Breaking Through:
It's not the damn Oscars, sweets. But we would love some more screen time for our R. Pattz! So vote away, Robstenites! And vote in our Most Awful Celeb poll, too, while you're in a choosy mood!
