Twilight Stars Hooking Up?

Friends with benefits?

Days after Vanity Fair released an interview with Robert Pattinson in which he declared he was just “friends” with Kristen Stewart, the two spent the night together at Hollywood’s famed Chateau Marmont on Oct. 29.

The next morning, a source says they shared breakfast together from Noah’s Bagels (a plain bagel with walnut cream cheese for him; a blueberry with butter for her). Who Cares???

Levi Johnson still talking about Palin

Levi Johnston, the father of former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s grandson, is going on the record about what he knows about Palin and her family.

Johnston, who welcomed son Tripp almost a year ago with Palin’s teen daughter Bristol, tells Mark Steines that the public Palin is very different from the private one: “The TV side of Sarah Palin which I am telling you is not the real Palin. She goes out and puts on a big show for you and that is the Palin you know.”

He explained that Palin used some surprising terms to describe her son Trig, born with Down Syndrome. Johnston says, “She’d come in from work and she’d be like, ‘Hey, where is my retarded baby,’ and just something like along those lines. The kids, Bristol and them, didn’t think much of it, but the first time I heard it, I was in shock, I didn’t know what to say. So, but then she, it kind of became a normal thing for her to say and you know, I guess, but she’d always have a smile on her face, laughing about it.”

‘Paranormal Activity’ beats out ‘Saw 6′ at box office

Low budget horror Paranormal Activity has landed at number one in the North American box office chart.

The film, which reportedly only cost $15,000 to make, took $22m in its first weekend on nationwide release.

It trounced the sixth installment of the horror franchise Saw, which opened at two with the worst takings in the series’ history with $14.8m.

Last week’s number one film, Where The Wild Things Are, fell to number three.

Saw’s previous low was $18.3m for the original movie, with its subsequent installments all opening at $30m or above.

Thanks to online positive word-of-mouth interest, Paramount Pictures decided to release Paranormal Activity nationwide after playing to sold-out crowds at midnight-only screenings for the past four weekends.

The fictional movie, shot like a homemade documentary, follows a couple coping with apparitions and supernatural phenomena in their home.

Ashlee Simpson talks about ‘Melrose’

You remember the series “Melrose Place”? Well, it’s still around and its rankings are going down. To prevent this from happening, the producers are writing out the part of teen heartthrob Ashlee Simpson (Jessica Simpson’s younger sister).

“Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end,” Simpson commented in an interview. “Playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to The CW and the entire cast and crew of ‘Melrose Place’ for allowing me this opportunity!”

The young actress/pop diva underwent plastic surgery in 2006 with a nose job. Sources also claim that she regularly takes Botox.

Simpson admitted that she had a nose job in 2008, but she says that she has never had Botox.

Kristen Bell to play Christina Aguilera’s rival in ‘Burlesque’

It’s a battle of the blondes!

Kirsten Bell, 29, is set to play opposite Christina Aguilera, 28, in “Burlesque” - a musical drama that centers on two rival bombshells trying to make the big time.

The role marks a bit of a departure for Bell, whose previous parts include the lead on “Veronica Mars,” as a studious investigator, and as a high-maintenance actress in the comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”

Her character is a fiery lead dancer who doesn’t take it well when she gets upstaged by Aguilera, who plays the undiscovered, up-and-coming talent, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

‘New Moon’ Taylor Lautner Ripped

Bulking up for a meatier role in the next “Twilight” movie was hard work, Taylor Lautner says. He gained 30 pounds of muscle while on a strict diet and exercise routine.

But it has been even harder putting that buff bod out on display for fans to drool over, the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” star told Us Weekly magazine.

“It’s actually quite uncomfortable knowing so many people are seeing that,” he said. “It’s a little bit embarrassing!”

Last week a new shirtless picture of Lautner from the “Twilight” set caused a stir. The photo was released to promote the “official illustrated movie companion” to “New Moon,” a book due out Oct. 6. Lautner — with shirt — also graced the cover of the October issue of Teen Vogue.
