Dear Ted:
Where you doing drugs this weekend? What the hell is wrong with you posting that stupid shirt topic? You should have done your homework, Ted, because the Brit pack does this. Rob wore his buddy's shirt to the Teen Choice Awards (the red plaid) after his boy did a show in it the night before. Rob didn't have anything to wear so he saw the shirt on the floor of his friend's hotel room, picked it up and that's the shirt he wore that night. Kristen has been wearing Rob's clothes for a long time. He wore her NY Yankees cap (well known to everyone at Comic-Con). Look at Kristen's pics; she's been wearing Rob's clothes for a while. Next time do your homework and stop trying to make Rob out to be gay. He's not!

Dear Delusional:
Were you on drugs when you were reading the post? All I was saying is, it's clear Robsten likes to mess back with all of us. They know people like you will dissect every piece of clothing they wear, figure out where it came from and analyze the crap out of it. Don't know what's "gay" about that.

Dear Ted:
You've told us that our beloved Sandy Bullock is a Vice; this got me thinking...could she be Bored Broomhilda? Love you, doll!
Kat from England

Dear Baffled Brit:
Look, Sandy Bullock has probably never been bored in her life, she's too impatient for that stuff—wrong gal, think less decisive.

Dear Ted:
I recently heard about Nikki Reed backing out of K-11, a project starring Kristen which was written (and being directed) by Kristen Stewart's mom. All of a sudden Nikki reports to no longer be associated with the project. See here. Any news on what happened there? Also, I don't have a pet that I rescued, due to a supersmall living space and lots of work travel time, but a coworker of mine rescued a 3-year-old yellow lab with tons of behavior issues who's doing really great. Could you tell me if R.Pattz's BV is specifically vamp-related or more open-ended?

Dear Late to the Party:
Geez, someone might want to let Hollywood Life (aka the new Star) know that we reported that Nikki stuff back in February. Check it out if you want to hear Kristen's thoughts. She's still trying to make the film happen, but it's clear Nikki's over it. Not getting the feeling all is well yet with these two babes (at all). As for Rob, his Vice isn't specifically vamp-related.

Dear Ted:
A lot of sources are saying that Jake Gyllenhaal and Isabel Lucas are hooking up? Is this just another brief fauxmance?
M

Dear Show and Tell:
Let's see if she's on the tip sheet for the Prince of Persia premiere in a few weeks. If she is, I'm going to be very disappointed in Jake.

Dear Ted:
I must know if my future wife (of my dreams) Penélope Cruz has been a Blind Vice before? She's amazing in Spanish films and just lights up a screen, so spill! Love you Ducks!
Coo from Ireland x

Dear Beauty and the Beast:
I'm right there with ya loving Cruz. But she has yet to enter the Blind Vice annals.

Dear Ted:
Well, you've done it. I've been with you since the beginning, when I was no more than a gossip-hungry tween myself (and trust, that was a while ago), but this weeklong Robsten celebration is nonsense and it's the last straw for me. Isn't every week a Robsten celebration for you? I certainly can't get a week's worth of peace from the tedious, repetitive coverage and the certifiably psycho rantings of the 12-year-olds it attracts. I've been holding out hope that your allegiance to your longtime readers and their preferences would win over the number of hits you get, but you've proven me wrong. I say it with sadness, but ciao, muffin! I can get the real goss, which you used to have cornered, elsewhere these days, anyway.

Dear Where's That?:
Places like Hollywood Life that report my stuff after the fact? Look, doll, totally get you're not into Robsten, fine. And even though the anniversary may be over, the coverage isn't—but...I put through tons of non-Robsten stuff whenever you want to check back in. Miss you already!

Dear Ted:
I had to laugh at the comments from today's installment of all things Robsten. Comments stating that you are behind on their activities...Ha! I would bet you knew all about Bootypest before Kristen's flight landed...I would also bet that your weeklong tribute was a red herring to give her a head start. It worked...she was out of the country and spent some time abroad before anyone knew it. Your silence speaks volumes! Good for you, Ted, these kids need a break. I am an über Robsten fan, but they are real people and deserve some fun...hence Shirtgate, the ring thing, etc. Great fun, Ted. Keep it up!
The Tennesseans

Dear Positive Feedback:
We're all about to get bombarded next month with all wonderful things Rob and Kristen here stateside. So let's let them get a break!

Dear Ted:
Although he's been under the radar lately, I'm always itching for some Justin Timberlake news. Can you please give us hints on his Blind Vice?
Wanna Be Mrs. Timberlake

Dear Cry Me a River:
He's not alone in his BV. But I predict he will be soon enough! This whole Timberbiel drag-out is making me so bored. They're gonna split eventually, I say they get it over with sooner rather than later.

Dear Ted:
Is the Clooney/Canalis show just about over? Hearing lots of rumors of her going back to her hideout after only a couple of days with him. Did she actually get the role on Leverage or did they find out how talentless she really is? Pretty sure she said it would be filming weeks ago, so far she hasn't shown up in Portland. Unless she snuck in, which I doubt. Just wondering why Clooney can't pick someone a little classy, 'cause this one is the worst by far.

Dear Lost in Translation:
Elisabetta can barely speak English. Why on earth would George want to give that up?

Dear Ted:
Has Joe Jonas ever been the subject of a Blind Vice?
L

Dear Keep it in the Family:
Nope, Joe has not.

Dear Ted:
With his recent appearance on Oprah, I have to ask, has Kenny Chesney ever been a Blind Vice? It seems many people think he has a lot of secrets, especially after that quickie marriage to Renée.
Wma

Dear One Degree of Zellweger:
Most definitely!

Dear Ted:
I don't understand why people rag on you for giving gossip about the younger generation. Any true gossip lover would realize that the younger gen is a gossip gold mine! I mean, Miley-Nick-Selena is more interesting than Jen-Brad-Angelina have been in years, and I'd take Robsten over almost any other "secret" couple out there. Keep the healthy mix coming!
Lindsay

Dear My Point Exactly:
Celebs come and go. Does anyone give a crap about Paris and Lindsay anymore? Definitely not. This young generation is the new generation of goss, but if there's one thing I've learned about AT readers, it's that they h-a-t-e change. Which is a shame, because the Nileys and Robstens of the world have such juicy secrets.
