PictureGroup/MTVDear Ted:
Just wanted to comment on how totally right you are about this whole Summit-Robsten control thing! Did you see the blond lady sitting right in the smack between Rob and Kristen at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards? Is it me being paranoid with this control thing or was she really there as some kind of a manager?
—Paranoid
Dear Not Overreacting:
She's one of many handlers out there, darling, trust! I've seen her around at a couple of these things with Rob—she's very much like a babysitter. With handcuffs.
Dear Ted:
Since the cameras panned to one half of Robsten every time the other half won (and those looks they had for each other were precious) it is blatantly obvious now. When are they coming out of the "we're together closet"? Nothing is hidden anymore. The trolls are even quiet on your boards now. It's a fact, we only need the holding hands in public confirmation. P.S. Good Job, Buddy! I wonder if the naysayers are crying in their cornflakes this morning?
—Touchstone
Dear Renewed Faith:
My honest opinion? I bet they don't officially come out—at least no time soon. Robsten doesn't think they owe their private lives to anyone, and that's why we love 'em, right? I bet someone with enough balls will catch them kissing on a camera phone or something and that'll be the only confirmation we need.
Dear Ted:
Why is Kate's family bad-mouthing her more than her husband, Jon? And to cash in on all of this, they are no better.
—Dnnro
Dear Jon & Kate Plus Too Much Drama:
I almost resent that I have to keep following these Jon and Kate people. I just find it so coincidental that all of this crap went down two weeks before their premiere.
Dear Ted:
Love your column. It's refreshing to read this stuff and not feel dumber for having done it. What is the scoop on Josh Brolin cheating on his wife, Diane Lane? Has Brolin been a past Blind Vice?
—MC
Dear Digging For Dirt:
You bet Brolin has been a Blind Vice. And kind of recently, too.
Dear Ted:
When I saw "There Oughta Be a Word" on your homepage, the first thing that came to mind was that you were going to talk about how Adam lost because he's proudly gay. Remember the early human called Homo Erectus? Seems a few evolved into Homo Rejectus.
—Karen
Dear Please:
There's nothing "proudly" gay about Adam Lambert! Once he actually comes out, then, maybe.
Dear Ted:
I just don't see the reason behind Prop 8. I mean, you pay your taxes every freaking year (especially school tax when you only have a cat and dog!), you vote, government still give loads of tax money to welfare. So why would you guys not get the same thing? If you guys don't mind going to hell (I'm being sarcastic) then people should leave you alone and let you marry whoever you want. And if people don't want to join you in hell, they should think twice before accepting (tax) money that comes from so many sources, including gays. Two faces. That's my vent.
—Pregnant Diva
Dear Well-Bitched:
I wish I could give you a reasonable answer, but I don't get it, either.
Dear Ted:
Your Most Awful celebrity loses credibility when Angelina is named. Fool.
—Ornetari
Dear Alone:
I didn't vote her back in, you guys did!
Dear Ted:
I think Summit should cut you a check if it already hasn't. I originally refused to see Twilight 'cause of all the teenybopper hype. After reading your column, I sucked it up and rented the movie. Loved it and fell in love with Rob P.! But still, I'd like to see a li'l less in your column about it unless they really are paying you.
—Rob Fan
Dear Hardly the Case:
I think Summit would try to pay me to stop writing about all of this. Or at least to write "exclusives" about what it wants out in the press. How about Twi goss stays but we'll keep throwing in other juicy dirt, too. That sound reasonable?
Dear Ted:
Mel Gibson bugs me to the point that I can't stand looking at the guy in tabloids, the TV or anywhere else. For me, he's like Michael Richards, in that I'll never be able to watch him in a part without thinking what a douche bag he is. Are there a list of folks behind the scenes in Hollywood that share my feelings and won't have anything to do with him, regardless of how much money he can bring in? Tell me there's at least a little karma coming back to bite his hairy butt.
—Jason
Dear Gibson Gripped:
Tons share your thoughts in Hollywood, doll. At least Brad can semi call him out on it!
Dear Ted:
I do love your blog, I read it every day, and I love the Blind Vices, so I was wondering, is Dommy Do Right Katherine Heigl and is Toothy T.R. Knight?
—R. Castela
Dear Way Off:
Sorry, but T.R. is out of the closet, so he can't be Toothy! As for Kath, right hair color, but wrong bad 'tude gal.
Dear Ted:
Your so-called article about Candy and Tori Spelling was horrible. Where did you go to school? Did they teach you to write? Did you actually get paid for this? You should be embarrassed.
—Fight
Dear Candy Spelling:
Nice try.
Dear Ted:
What is your take on Billy Burke calling Robsten "bull"? Please help us put this in context. Thanks!
—Akaufman
Dear Not Buying It:
The only thing I believe is when he acknowledges he doesn't know much.
Dear Ted:
What's the deal with Summit now putting the kibosh on Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez? Who are those evil suits and why do they keep ruining our fun? Taylor and Selena were cuter together than a box full of puppies.
—Tricia
Dear No Kibosh Had:
Quite the opposite—I think Taylor and Selena were a smokescreen to divert attention from Rob and Kristen. But it didn't work!
Dear Ted:
You are a handsome devil! Love that Indy get up. Given that you've been spotted in some print ads, did you have to choose between modeling and writing, or was writing your first and only love?
—KP
Dear Giselle I'm Not:
Thanks for the laugh, K! Glad you enjoyed Truth, Lies & Ted. Writing's a blast. Sitting around in front of photographer, uh, not so much.
