The Awful Truth

If you're in any of the Twilight movies you'd better be ready for the insane media frenzy that comes with it.

Taylor Lautner seems to handle it like a champ, even if he's now trying to be incognito with girlfriend Taylor Swift. And we think Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are finally figuring out how to get a grip on all the attention (it helps that they go through it together).

But what about the other stars in the film?

We hear the pressure may be trickling down to press-tour newbie Bryce Dallas Howard...

Neil Patrick Harris?was honored last night at the Trevor Project's Cracked Xmas event at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth.

Neil, all smiles and looking thin yet dashing in a black suit, seemed super happy and shocked that he was being celebrated for his continued support of the Trevor Project.?He was accompanied by longtime boyfriend David Burtka, and the two were adorable together enjoying their VIP dinner close to the stage.

So what did Neil, a role model to many gay youth out there, have to say about the recent Adam Lambert censoring?

Nepotism is alive and kickin' in Hollywood, big-time, but sometimes just because you have a famous last name doesn't mean you get everything for free—like parts in your celebrity mom or dad's movie, for ince.

So which famous movie star has a son or daughter who has to actually work, hustle and jump through exhausting hoops for even a small acting gig? The news is just so shocking it makes us respect the 'rent in a new way, that's for sure.

"It certainly will help do that. I haven't seen the film, so I'm talking based on what people have told me. It's very inspirational."

—Morgan Freeman telling us at the Invictus premiere last week how this film will restore our faith in humankind, particularly in light of the increasingly lurid Tigergate.

With all of the recent rumored cheating scandals, from Tiger Woods to Josh Duhamel, it's hard to remember that there are some great things that can come out of Hollywood...like movies.

Morgan agreed that this flick is coming at a perfect time to shift focus from the personal lives of, say, scandalous athletes and to celebrate an actual sport and inspiring story. We're screening the movie tonight, it's supposed to be fab.

Since the film's director, Clint Eastwood, got snubbed last year at the Oscars, this very well could be his baby for the upcoming awards season—and some possible competition for George Clooney and Up in the Air, which is supposed to sweep everything (at least that's what we're hearing now).

Dear Ted:
I totally agree that Jennifer Garner is a total you-know-what, but did her personality ever match her public "sweetheart" persona? There has to be some reason Ben Affleck initially fell in love with her! But, then again, fellow Bostonians tell me that Mr. Affleck isn't the most pleasant of men. To put it bluntly, during the original Bennifer days, J.Lo was considered the most approachable and friendly of the pair whenever they were around Beantown.
—Tom

Dear Odd Couple:
All I have to say is when poor Taryn Ryder was chewed out by Garner for no discernable reason, completely unprovoked, Jen's true colors came flying out. At least Ben—who, by the by, has come leaps and bounds from his naughtier days, behaviorally speaking—knows how to put a lid on it.

Dear Ted:
Like zillions of others, I am a huge fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, mostly because she seems like such a genuine person instead of an over-inflated celeb. Is she as "real" as she portrays herself to be or are her PR people just very good at earning their money? PS I think you are fabulous, never change!
—Dana (Amsterdam)

Dear Hot Mama:
Carrie Bradshaw SJP is not. She's much more calculating than you'd think. She's nice, but she's also your typical high powered actress. Maybe even a tougher version than most folks realize.

Dear Ted:
Since Robsten has essentially "gone public" to those that aren't blind, I have read so many implications and suggestions, from every angle, that Summit (at least at one point) played a large part in how they handled their relationship and how the public perceived it. In no way do I see any of it as a PR stunt, but I do get the feeling Summit held power sometime down the Twi timeline. Is any of this true? How do you feel about Summit and how they've handled the entire Twi phenomenon, especially in regards to Robsten! Tehehe!

Our list of 11 Sneaky Bachelors sure got a lot of you terribly riled up, so we thought it was only fair to give you some of our favorite single ladies, too. 

We don't want to call these 10 babes bachelorettes because that so isn't the right term for these bitchin' broads. They're hot because some of them would go and shoot you in the finger if you ever said they needed to put a ring on it! They play and date by their own rules, whether the public likes it or not. 

No Jennifer Aniston (complains too much). No Angelina Jolie (too manipulative). These chicks are free-spirit, sexual beings, and we can't get enough of 'em! 

Behold! The Unhooked Hotties gallery—or if you prefer, the Ef You, Ring Finger gallery!

As if major movie star James Franco's ballsy stint on General Hospital wasn't enough to get fans in a tizzy, now the seriously hot stud is really pushing it.

Franco's playing a criminal who sleeps around for all the wrong reasons, and one of the best results is J.F. looking totally whacked out and majorly greasy in a mug shot—for the show, of course!

Totally love it. And, come on, you sissy malcontents who can't take the beauty of what Franco's doing with his very interesting career (it's called variation, idiots), don't you know Jimmy's the more delicious the dirtier he gets?

You know, just like somebody named...

Two years ago, I was in Italy studying abroad in Florence. On the morning of Nov. 1, I awoke to the terrifying news that a British student also abroad, Meredith Kercher, had been brutally murdered in the nearby town of Perugia. That terror turned into shock when my mother called to tell me a suspect had been arrested and it was someone I knew—my high school classmate from Seattle, Amanda Knox.

Dear Ted:
I recently saw a picture of R.Pattz at a hotel in L.A. Does this mean he's not hanging out with K.Stew? What's been going on with them? Are they still together and cute as can be? I've been having my Robsten withdrawals!
—Stephanie

Dear Chillax:
Just 'cause they aren't together every second of every day doesn't mean they aren't together. Don't worry, they're on. Where is Rob supposed to stay, by the way? With Kristen's folks? Don't think so.

Dear Ted:
Do women sleep with the famous so they can only blackmail them or use them for fame later on? It sure seems like it!
—Sweet

Dear For the Love of Fame:
That's usually the case, huh? They all just want their 15 minutes of fame…then there are those rare cases where it's actually love, and that's just weird for Hollywood.

Dear Ted:
I've been reading your column for a couple of years now and I think I finally have all of the lingo down! Totally love you. Anyway, when reading about Toothy and all of the other beards out there in H'wood, there's something I just don't get. Are all the photos showing the "happy couple" together just staged photo ops? Do they actually live together but go do their "thing" with somebody else each night? Do they meet up once a week for a jog and/or requisite tall latte for a good paparazzi encounter so they can have photos posted of them with the opposite sex? And does the public/Industry really care if Toothy et al swing the other way? I care more that they live a lie in the public eye instead of just coming out with it—is that not the general consensus? And why?
—Mh

Being married to superstar?and superexacting?megaman Tom Cruise must take its toll at times. Clearly, being the much touted third wife to still very handsome Cruise must cause one to crack (or chomp), on occasion. We suspect poor Katie Holmes, who's really just a sweet li'l Ohio babe at heart, has reached one of those breaking points, and it's damn well about time!

Probably in her most un-red-carpet moment to date, Suri?s mama is lookin? more her natural self in rumpled everything as she grabs some fried potato snacks, with ketchup, in between filming scenes on the Long Island set of her latest flick, The Romantics. She's even wearing friggin' sweats!

Posh Beckham would probably pretend she didn't even know her BFF if they were to run into each other here, and that's not even counting the pile o' grub Kate's chewing and gabbing her way through!

Could you imagine Beck's other half doing the same, much less even being photographed anywhere near food? Certainly not. We dare say a truer, more for-real Katie...

Interesting past couple of weeks: Adam Lambert pushes the sexuality envelope by tonguing a guy on national TV, and the world cries yuck. But chicks such as Britney Spears, Madonna and Tila Tequila do the same and everyone thinks it's just so dangerously sexy. Double standard, anybody? Yeah, what else is new in antigay America?

In this very same sexually and politically charged media firestorm, megaceleb Butter Pussy is charting her next career choice privately.

It's no secret folks have wondered, in varying degrees, whether Butter rides the gay or straight bus (some insist she's a regular passenger on both), and she's certainly had her own battle with goss headlines in the past regarding her sexuality.

But now Butter's decided to...

At last night's Beverly Hills premiere of Invictus, Clint Eastwood's Oscar contender staring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman, things still somehow became about Brangelina. Gosh, what a shocker, huh?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed up with their cutie son Maddox. Not wanting to totally upstage, they didn't do the red carpet, so the gorgeous fam just went inside to support their pals.

Now, we love us some glitzy Brange as much as the next star-struck folk, but we adore Damon more, sorry. He's a totally down-to-earth sweetheart, but somehow he gets overlooked by the gossip-craving public. Why the hell is that?

Humpy Matt told us why he's glad he's not Brad or BFF George...
