Dear Ted:
I love Robsten and can't get enough info, pics and sightings which are few and far between...yet Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are constantly seen together and not shy about their "friendship". Is there anything else there or are they really just friends? I think it's interesting nobody cares or gives a second thought to Kellan and Ashley being a couple but we all go crazy over the mere thought of Robsten. Thoughts? Feelings? Scoop?

Dear Vamp lovin' fan:
They knew each other and were friends before all this Twilight hooplah. Ash has told us tons of times she and Kellan are the closest on set. We don't think there's a friends with benefits situation going on...now, anyways.

Dear Ted:
OK, so I've heard enough about Alexander Skarsgård do-ability from you that I finally put True Blood in my Netflix cue. You're right though, Anna Paquin is off the charts. The show's only so-so, however, and one thing is driving me nuts. It really sounds like they are using a motif from The Tudors in the background music, occasionally arranged differently, but sometimes violin-note-for-violin note. Can you find out if they are recycling their music, possibly in hopes to transfer some of JRM's bad boy heat to these otherwise mostly tepid vampires? Or am I just mad as a hatter on this one?
Wondering Winnie

Dear So Random:
I don't watch The Tudors, but I don't think the TB peeps are that dumb—or cheap. 

Dear Ted:
Is everything as lovey-dovey and perfect in John Krasinski and Emily Blunt's engagement as it seems? They got engaged pretty quickly (together for only 9 months following a pretty nasty breakup on her part) and there have been rumors that she's cheating. What do you think?
Brit (Bluntski fan)

Dear Curious about Bluntski:
We'll see how long the engagement actually lasts, but I'm all for it! He was the rebound, but if he's cool with that then all the power to them.

Dear Ted:
When you refer to Natalie Portman as "classy," you actually mean the opposite, don't you? And the "do-gooder" and "goody-two-shoes" references are the cover-up right? Also are her vices sexual, drug related or both? And has she been the subject of more than one Blind Vice?
Curious

Dear Fishin' for the bad stuff:
Why would you take everything I said about Portman as the opposite? If I meant to say that she has vices and isn't classy, I would just say it, wouldn't I? And why do you want her to secretly be a lil' devil...is it a fantasy of yours or something?

Dear Ted:
Writing to you here from Ireland. Thank you for filling us in here on all the real gossip in L.A. OK, one quick question, something seems very wrong with Jake Gyllenhall being with Reese Witherspoon.
Dutch 

Dear Loaded Question:
What about Gyllenspoon rubs you the wrong way? I'd love to hear it.

Dear Ted:
I've been reading your column for a long time, and I just wanted to say, as a stay-at-home mom with three little kids, your column is such a nice mini vacay if you will, I didn't really have a question, I just wanted to say thanks! ;) p.s. thanks for backing off on the Robsten stuff! Not all of us are tweens.
Xmas

Dear Tell Me About It:
My love for Robsten is permanent, but geez, this vampire craze gets a little much sometimes, no?

Dear Ted:
Can everybody stop complaining about Miley Cyrus? It's an unofficial rule in Hollywood that once you've hit 16, you're an adult. Just look at Judy Garland, Liz Taylor, Annette Funicello (Miley's 1960s counterpart) and Brooke Shields.
Mook

Dear Miley's BFF:
Yeah, I guess it can be an unofficial rule, but she's not acting like an adult, so why would we treat her like one? Judy Garland Miles is not.

Dear Ted:
Does Morgan Mayhem abuse drugs in front of her younger sibling, Mini Mayhem? And has Mini Mayhem ever starred (or guest-starred) in a Blind Vice?
Helen

Dear Nice Try:
Morgan's officially banned from this blolumn until she cleans her self-destructive butt up. Who's Mini Mayem? Sounds like some body part of Jeremy Piven, or something.

Dear Ted:
I seem to remember a time in which Miley Cyrus not only said she admired Hilary Duff but inspired to have a career like hers, forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't remember Hilary being 16 and dancing on a pole! Hilary on the other hand seems to be handling herself quite well for a 22 year old. What the heck happened to Miley's career inspiration!
Lucky

Dear Odd Couple:
Hollywood and fame happened, it got to her head, and now she's just the path to destruction just like the rest of 'em. Hilary stayed away from all the buzz and hype a lot of the time, I'm guessing that's why she's probably the sanest one out of the Disney kids.

Dear Ted:
My guess is Jonathan Rhys Meyers is Judas Jack-Off. I say I'm right, so what do you say?
Sassy

Dear Kinda Close:
But I say—so sorry, better luck next time! (Think less lofty in the acting dept., too.)

Dear Ted:
Considering the constant horde of photographers following Morgan Mayhem, I seriously doubt that she buys her own drugs and alcohol. Maybe this is a stupid question, how come the photographers don't follow members of her entourage and document drug buys and/or alcohol purchases in order to drive home the point that she has a serious addiction and needs help...?
Ekyoung

Dear Enough:
How many times do we have to say it, Morgan's a no-no right now! Not up for discussion! For real! And the photographers have helped our out once or twice—not photographing the stash that fell out of her purse.
