What is your take on the Tiger Woods drama? Has Tiger ever been a B.V.? What about the tabloid reports about his infidelity? I am not sure what to believe, but his sketchy behavior and refusal to make a statement makes me think he is hiding something. He certainly has a lot to lose if anything dicey is going on here.
—E.K.
Dear Come Out and Play:
Let's just say these reports didn't surprise me. And no, Tiger has yet to be a Blind Vice. Sooner than later, perhaps? Yes, I think so.
Dear Ted:
So what really is going on with Josh Duhamel and Fergie? Fergie sure seems to be too smart and savvy to blindly believe he did not cheat. Did he just tell her the truth and she and her bandmates are covering to make this story go away? Did they really spend Thanksgiving away from each other? Is a divorce in the works after Fergie gets done touring? Or has Fergie accepted this and forgiven him?
—Danielle
Dear 411:
It's not looking good, is it? It remains to be seen where Josh and Fergie go from here. Maybe they'll stay together and continue being fine with the fact they hardly see each other. Or maybe one of them will just want to give up entirely. The infidelity reports didn't come out of thin air—not saying they're true, mind you, just that there's always some accurate smoke 'round naughty fires like this.
Dear Ted:
On the Twilight DVD, on audio commentary Catherine Hardwicke was teasing Rob that he can't deliver. Do you think that has something to do with him and Kristen's relaysh?
—Shake
Dear Get Your Head Out of the Gutter:
Haven't heard that R.Pattz has any performance problems. Far from it.
Dear Ted:
Is La-Feelya Fun-Tanked a current or former model? Please, please, please answer me. This one is driving me crazy!
—I like old folks
Dear Bonkers:
Not professionally, at least. Think less obvious in her struttings.
Dear Ted:
I couldn't help but be really distracted by R.Pattz's super cranberry-colored lips while watching New Moon. I know it's probably to emphasize his vampire pale skin, but it was a little much! And it got me thinking: When he took smoke breaks between scenes during filming, did his cigarette have a girlie lipstick ring around it?
—Kelly
Dear Funny Gal:
Between his and Kristen's puckers, that cancer stick was probably cranberry red.
Dear Ted:
What's holding up Summit from making an announcement about Breaking Dawn? New Moon has made a zillion dollars during its opening week, so they can't be waiting to see how well-received it would be...What's the holdup?
—Amy
Dear Dawn's On:
Probably still sorting out whether it's going to be one or two movies, and if their stars are up for two more.
Dear Ted:
Have you heard the awful truth? Taylor Lautner is going to be hosting SNL! Don't get me wrong, I love that guy. I mean he can take his shirt off around me any time, but I don't think that kid can do comedy. It'll be a trainwreck for sure, unless of course he can get a certain sparkly cohost. What do you think?
—Patricia
Dear Laughs for Lautner:
I actually think Tay-Tay will be a great host. The kid's very funny and personable, so I think he'll do just fine. Obviously, I'd rather see Rob up there, but I do get it—he'd probably be too awkward. Wouldn't that be cute?
Dear Ted:
Where is Joaquin Phoenix? There was all this confusion regarding his mental state after his Letterman appearance and now it's crickets. How is he really? I hope better than he was in the beginning of the year!
—Jessie
Dear Hope Sinks:
Honestly, the guy's got so many issues I can't keep track of where he is. He's like Lindsay Lohan, but you can't find him at the clubs.
Dear Ted:
I think I have Jackie Bouffant figured out. He is pretty magical, isn't he? I think so. I didn't get what the fuss was about until I saw him on the screen. He is delicious, like taking a bite out of a juicy red apple. He doesn't exactly have much in the looks department, but boy does he seem charming. He could charm the wool right off of a lamb, couldn't he? It's no wonder so many people find him dreamy.
—Blue
Dear Different Taste:
You are so far off—Jackie's totally got it in the looks department!
Dear Ted:
Release me from bondage, and my own personal hell, by telling me that Ryan Gosling, he of recent commando fame, is not Nevis Divine. I've never seen anyone guess him: He's not American, has only been in two serious relationships, is a total hottie and seems definitely like enough of a free spirit to swing both ways! You ignored my last email asking about him, so I'm definitely freaked out that I might be right. End the torture! Is Ryan N.D.?
—Rum
Dear You're Released:
No, Ryan doesn't play for Nevis' team. What a waste, really. Isn't that what all you straight gals say about gay guys?
Dear Ted:
I'm such a big fan of Taylor Swift. And I think she and Taylor Lautner will make such a cute couple, and I don't think it's fake, I mean sure Taylor Lautner dated Selena Gomez, and they were cute, too, but why would Taylor Swift agree to have a fake relaysh when she writes all her songs about guys cheating on her and breaking up? Wouldn't it be strange if she then started a relaysh just for the benefits of press? I mean the girl has the most sold album, like, ever. I don't think that's because she dates Taylor.
—Caroline
Dear Politics of Hollywood:
Just ask Jennifer Aniston, Renée Zellweger or Reese Witherspoon (all talented and smart ladies): It's always better to be attached to a hunk of the moment.
Dear Ted:
Been reading you for a while...You got me through my pregnancy in Germany while my hubby was deployed... anyway. Reading through Bitch-Back and TAT, I have a question: Is it really hard to have all of this information and not tell? I am awful at keeping a secret, and I just can't imagine having to sit on all the little tidbits you have! How do you sleep?
—A.J.
Dear Rest Easy:
Oh how I wish I could just shout some of these goodies from my E! office, but I'd lose sleep over ruining half of these people's lives and careers, not to mention public images. It's their choice to air their dirty laundry...just wish some of them would do it, already.
Dear Ted:
I have a theory as to why there is a lot of Kristen Stewart hate. My theory is that people have gotten used to seeing up-and-coming young stars (females) as the typical girlie girl who is always happy to smile for the camera and wanting to extend their 15 minutes of fame. People aren't used to seeing someone, like Kristen, who doesn't crave the limelight, who wants privacy and who does (and dresses like) what she wants.
—Faye
Dear True Story:
Agreed. And to add, most girls loathe the woman who really gets to date their fantasy man, aka Rob.
Dear Ted:
You know I wonder about Natalie Portman sometimes. She seems to have everything going for her, yet she can't seem to hold down a romantic relationship for long. Admittedly she does do and say some things that make her seem like she could be insufferable in a relationship but is this a reason why she's a Blind Vice superstar?
—portfan
Dear Don't Cry for Portman:
Just because she doesn't fake romances doesn't mean anything's wrong with her. It's OK to be single, people! That's why we heart Nat, 'cause she dates by her own rules.
Dear Ted:
Huh? What do you mean by "no comments" on New Moon? After all the buzz you can't just not say anything. Did you like it or not?
—Sandra
Dear No Moon:
Let's just say I prefer the real-life drama instead.
Dear Ted:
You are, like, the all-knowing eye. And ever-cute, as well. I like the B.V.s—they make me think, even about, you know, unserious stuff. I just visited a friend on the set of the (soon-to-be-defunct?) Ugly Betty, and things didn't seem all that rosy. America was her usual lovely self, but some of the others seemed glum and unpleasant. Tension on this once-hot show? Are they thinking of where they will be next year? (BTW, I always thought Ana Ortiz was gorgeous. In person, she is a deity. Is it a Hollywood rule that that kind of beauty, talent and graciousness always go unrewarded?)
—JCS
Dear Gossipin' Betty:
Love this! Surprised America was as sweet as she seemed. Not surprised about Ana, and yes, the classy ones get overlooked because they aren't skanky.
Dear Ted:
Is John Stamos one of your current Blind Vices? He seems a bit too pure for real.
—Pearl
Dear Staggering Stamos:
Ages ago, yes (and how). But not anything recent.
