Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, consider yourself replaced in the zeitgeist for the time being.

The devastating proof that, unlike Bella and Edward, the couple known as Robsten may not be long for this world dominated the celebcentric scene by a shockingly wide margin.

And we've got everything you need to know about that scandal here—along with a rundown of all the entertainment news that registered during the last seven days.

STAKED THROUGH THE HEART: It's probably a good thing he wasn't planning to marry her just yet anyway. Less than 24 hours after being outed as a cheater, Kristen Stewart admitted to stepping out on Robert Pattinson with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, who's married with two children. When did this happen? Where's Rob now? Did anyone see this coming?! (Besides the paparazzo who's probably enjoying his paycheck in the Bahamas right about now, that is?) We've tackled all of those questions and more right here.

CRUISE CONTROL: Don't worry, Tom and Katie, we didn't forget about you! Katie and Suri spent time visiting family in Ohio, Tom jetted off to London to start shooting his next movie, Katie is skipping this Saturday's Dizzy Feet Foundation gala and we plumbed an interview she gave the week she filed for divorce for hints. That should be enough for one week.
