Dear Ted:
All of the grief over Janet Jackson's breast, but Adam Lambert was allowed to grab a woman's vagina, simulate oral sex, flip everyone the finger and open-mouth kiss a straight man. But it's all OK because he's gay? Ted, what do you think?

Dear Hardly:
Lambert's performance was completely edited when the show aired on the West Coast, though. I don't see why people made a big deal about boobgate or Lambert's antics. Like I said, it's a p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e, people (and parents council). If you don't like it, switch the damn channel!

Dear Ted:
I'm kinda dunzo with Alexander Skarsgård. I hate it when celebs tell the press what they think their fans want to hear. Don't parrot a publicist, just be honest or say "no comment." We big girls can handle it, just don't lie. What do you think?
Mackenzie

Dear One Step Ahead:
What exactly did he do to tick you off, darling? Not own up to prancing out with Kate Bosworth? I wouldn't want to claim that either!

Dear Ted:
Just have to ask, what is the Awful Truth about Robsten? Are they still as committed as they once were, or has fame, PR stress and time worn away the bubble? Something seems to be off...especially with Rob...has he lost interest?
Curious

Dear Overanxious Much:
They seem happy to me. Sounds like maybe you just want there to be something wrong?

Dear Ted:
Is Rocky Trailer none other than Jamie Campbell Bower?
Dave

Dear Try, Try Again:
Whatever makes you ask about him, darling?

Dear Ted:
I am very discouraged. I guess I should never read the comments at all. Do you really want your readers to guess who is gay/bi/straight/into animals and on and on it goes? I really hate how nasty this has all gotten to be. Do you need these B.V. to survive? Is it really that much fun, really? I'll just have to stop reading it all!
Kriszo

Dear No Fun:
The crazy stuff that happens in this town has to be reported. That means it has to be concealed in a B.V. for legal reasons, primarily. Why don't you just not read them?

Dear Ted:
Any chance one of the actors or actresses on One Tree Hill (the show so bad it's good) has a B.V.? Or perhaps one of them is now dating a famous Blind Vicer—say, Grey Goose?
Jede

Dear Too Obvious:
Duh. One Tree Hill'ers have been the subjects of B.V.s. They're regular heathens over there!

Dear Ted:
What's the deal with Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly? It's obvious they're dating, but how serious are they?
Jenny

Dear Fun Break:
Serious enough that they'll take exotic vacays together. Think Kate Hudson's jeal?

Dear Ted:
Is John Mayer in love with Taylor Swift? The way he gushes about her is not normal. I think there will be a Mayer-Swift hookup in the future. Or is he too dirty for her?
Sister moon

Dear Odd Couple:
If Taylor is into that, it'll say a lot about what she's really like. It would surely answer your guys' questions about whether she's really that good of a girl or not.

Dear Ted:
Since you more-or-less notted Jared and Jensen for JJO/DDD (without actually doing it), and since these two are B.V.s, could you give us more details, please? Was it this year that their Blind Vices came out, or one this year and one late last year, since you said they weren't interesting enough in September 2008 to have one? Was it after their movies came out, because that would be interesting?
Elle

Dear Slow Down:
I don't think I notted anyone.

Dear Ted:
Are Angelina and Amy Winehouse on the same mystery diet?
Rick

Dear Trainwrecks:
Winehouse's diet is hardly a mystery.

Dear Ted:
I'd just like to thank you for convincing me to hop on the Twilight bandwagon. Just a month ago, I was one of your annoyed readers who was tired of all the Twilight news. But I finally decided to give this franchise a chance—I rented the movie and loved it! I plan to read the books soon, and I'm going to see New Moon next week. I encourage those skeptics to devote a couple of hours to the movie rather than spending their time ranting to you about the Twilight posts! Now I enjoy all of your Twilight cast scoop, and I am totally Team Edward. Love your column—check it at least 10 times a day!
LL

Dear Convert:
The books are better than the films so far, have to say. Glad you're into it!

Dear Ted:
Can you work on the E! techies and get your next and last post arrows back? Flipping back and forth to the main page is too enervating. P.S.: I find it funny that some readers think that you'd ever say flat out who a B.V. is. Personally, I don't care who they are, I just like reading your descriptions of the Vices and thank god for my sometimes normal life. Thanks for fun reads.

Dear Fun 'n' Games:
See that new list at the end of the post that says "View Next Articles"? You can keep clicking onto the next story from there, on until forever. And thanks for the Vice kudos, glad you can go with it!

Dear Ted:
Brad Pitt
is not stupid (is he?). I don't understand how he could get so deeply involved with Angelina when he knew her primary recreational habit was so very dangerous. And I'm not talking about a predilection for wrapping her chompers around his gargantuan. If something happens to her, won't he be responsible for all those kidlets?
Bob NYC

Dear Good Question:
Love is blind, sweetheart.

Dear Ted:
Why do some celebs just lie outright about who they're dating? Alex Skarsgård said not even a week ago that he isn't dating anyone, and that the only women in his life are his mom and his sister. Now X17 has photos and videos of him and Kate Bosworth at the movies over the weekend. What gives? Neither one of them is even B-list at this point—why even lie? Why not just, "no comment"? Irritating.
Daria

Dear Over It:
Who the hell knows. It's been the Hollywood game for years.

Dear Ted:
Is Twilight's Rocky Trailer Elizabeth Reaser?
O

Dear Mother May I:
Nope. Definitely not. Not even close.

Dear Ted:
I would like to think that Johnny Depp and/or his managers chose the worst picture possible as a perverse poke at People's Sexiest Man Alive issue.
Heaneys

Dear Could Be:
Johnny probably doesn't even know he's on the cover. He could give two s--ts about that kinda stuff.

Dear Ted:
What on earth is Angelina Jolie hiding under her dress?
Very Stumped 

Dear Tricked:
I dunno—Brad's handcuffs?

Dear Ted:
Have you noticed that Nikki Reed has taken on some seriously weird roles? I've always been a fan of hers, but she always seems to play these strange characters. She was an out-of-control teenager in Thirteen, a skanky girl sleeping with her stepdad in Mini's First Time and a murderer in Cherry Crush. What's the deal?
J

Dear Typecast:
So she doesn't get pinned down like most of this town is.

Dear Ted:
Hope all is going well for you, you seem happier in print lately! OK, so I must say I may only be one of two or three humans on the planet who has not seen Twilight or New Moon...not hating on it, just honestly never made the time for it. But since there's so much press here on your site about the cast, and you know I gotta have me some Teddy every day, I read the postings and the B.V.s (of course!). So here's my guess for Rocky Trailer—Kellan Lutz? He just has a two-way look about him, and also like he doesn't give a rat's furry ass who knows it! Am I right?
Cathy

Dear Hopeful Thinking:
Taryn
wishes!
