I follow you every day online, but with all this Robsten thing going on and now the two Taylors rumors, it makes me think about the move America's Sweethearts. Is it really all just a setup to promote a movie? Or is it really happening?
—adrical
Dear Cinephile:
You are the only person in the world who is thinking about that movie anymore. Lautner and Swift interested in each other? Very likely the real thing. Them dining in super pap-friendly locales together? Don't be surprised if somebody's management got them a killer reservation knowing the press they'd get (and their concerts/flicks) when spotted together.
Dear Ted:
Met that nerdorkable hottie Joseph Gordon-Levitt the other night and he couldn't be sweeter. What's the scoop? Is he really as down-to-earth and talented as he seems or has he got a few Blind Vice skeletons in his closet, too? Much love to you and the Awful Truth team!

Dear Looking for Trouble:
There is none. Every time any of Team Awful's hung around JGL, he's been a peach. Not sayin' he's sinless, but he keeps it on the DL whenever we've had our eye on him. Maybe he'll crack sometime soon? Hope so!
Dear Ted:
Are Josh Peck and Drake Bell (of Drake & Josh) Judas Jack-Off and Dashed Dingle-Dream? They seem to be all about that "brotherly love."
—Milena
Dear Ha!:
Love that you went there with these Nickelodeon kids, but keep guessing. And no, it's nobody on a kiddie network.
Dear Ted:
What happens to the beard in a relationship once the other has come out? Does the media trash the beard and embrace the other for coming out? I can't recall any supercelebrity couple in the past where one has come out of the closet and the other acknowledged that they were a beard.
—San Diego,Calif.
Dear Whiskers Whispers:
And don't expect it to happen anytime soon, either. Most gay celebs comfortable being out have always been comfortable not being attached to a woman, even when their sexuality was still considered a secret.
Dear Ted:
Who is the male Jennifer Garner? As in, someone who pretends to be all sunshine and smile and kittens but is the total opposite? Patrick Dempsey?
—stanforjen
Dear John Garner:
Why is the Grey's guy your go-to bastard? Couldn't you have picked somebody like Gerard Butler?
Dear Ted:
I am confused with your post; are you saying Justine is going with Robert Pattinson to the New Moon premiere? Totally sucks.
—ivonne
Dear Date Night:
Don't count on it. She's just fueling the fire. "One of the cutest guys" could be anybody in the Twi universe.
Dear Ted:
With regard to Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift, are they pulling a "Jake and Reese" or is it the real deal? Also what's the story with Josh Duhamel? Yes, he's hot, but is he a good guy or does he have many little secrets behind that gorgeous smile? Has he ever been a B.V.?
—prilc318
Dear On to Something:
Yes, Josh, has indeed been a Vice-er; where's there's tabloid headlines, there's always a little truth (always). As to Tay-Tay, you know what? I don't think they've decided. So let's not rush 'em!
Dear Ted:
I was watching Gossip Girl this past Monday and there was a situation where Hilary Duff was a movie star in some sort of horror movie. Her publicist was forcing her to be staged at parties in order for paparazzi to get pictures of her costar and her to fuel the "are they or aren't they" rumors just for publicity for the movie. Do you think that they were hinting that is what is clearly going on with Robsten? That they've never been together all along and Summit is just staging them together to fuel sales for New Moon? I don't want to be a doubter but it made me think, you know?
—Jess
Dear Conspiracy Theorist:
I really don't think the Gossip Girl writers are concerned with Robsten much (gotta wonder what that's like). PR manhandling like that happens all the time in H'wood; it's not a nod to anyone in particular but to a publicity move made since the glory days of cinema. And Summit doesn't have to play tricks like that to get butts in theaters.
Dear Ted:
I've been following Chaz Bono's transformation from woman to man. Cher has said she supports his decision and journey. Is this true? Is Cher really supportive in Chaz or are her statements all for PR?
—Molly
Dear Both:
Can't the truth also be used for PR? Not every public statement is a lie.
Dear Ted:
Reading Bitch-Back re: too much/too little Robsten. Just so you know, I don't care what the topics are, I read every word you type, and will continue to do so as long as you do so. Just my two cents. P.S. How's the B.V. archive coming along?
—Megley
Dear True Fan:
Thanks dear, and slowly but surely!
Dear Ted:
Today you posted the following about Jason Bateman in your Bitch-Back: "Your crush is vouched for. Jase is a total doll. With a great sense of humor, too! And he's got a thing for flirting with me about my biceps. Too bad he's always playing the straight man in his movies." Are you implying that Jason Bateman is gay, or just that you wish he would get more openly funny roles in film? People in the boards immediately got their knickers in a twist, so I thought I'd ask.
—At Home in Texas
Dear Clarificayition:
I meant "straight man" as in the dude who all the other crazy actors are bouncing their material off of. Him pointing out my biceps wasn't a lie, either. Can't a hetero admire another guy's muscles in peace?
Dear Ted:
You publish probably 80 percent of the questions I submit (under different aliases of course). You clearly find something moderately insightful about my questions, so can I have a job? I would be a killer addition to the Awful Truth team!
—Helen
Dear A.T. Potential:
Well, our dear Becky Bain is leaving for less gossipy pastures (wise fool that she is); are you as funny and bitchy as she is?
