Caught! Drew and Justin Together...Again
Ben King/startraksphoto.com
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long obviously can't make up their mind if they want to be together or not, and every other week we hear they've called it quits for good. Let's hope the hundredth time's the charm, because the twosome was just spotted in Miami on a hush-hush romantic getaway.
The He's Just Not That Into You costars shacked up at the Viceroy Hotel on posh Brickell Avenue, instead of their usual haunt the Delano. Stealth, guys. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony can usually be found at the Viceroy, too, but let's just hope Drew and Justin look up to J.Lo and Marc for travel tips, not love tips.
D & J stayed in South Beach for three days, sipping on cocktails and having just a fab time. While Justin was spotted working out at the hotel spa, Drew was found shopping, natch. She hit up Avant Gallery, looking laid-back wearing a simple T-shirt paired with her makeup-free face.
Store patrons tell us Drew was "the sweetest thing." Hmmm, wonder if she was shopping for her pad back in L.A. or possibly a potential place in Miami? After all, Drew supposedly kicked poor Justin out of her Hollywood home. That might be a blessing in disguise, though, trust. Maybe these two make better travel companions than lovers.
While Drewstin is up in the air, one duo who will always be for keeps is...
Blab Blab Blab: Is There Fire Behind Obama's Smoke?

"They're fine. The smoking means nothing other than he's addicted to cigarettes."
—White House insider, when we inquired whether or not President Barack Obama's continued clandestine puffing, despite repeated efforts to stop, perhaps was a sign there's tension in his marriage to first lady Michelle.
"They're solid," we were reprimanded when we asked if the cig sneaking (and constant gal eyelash-batting B.O. gets from the babes round the world) was a clue to trouble between the Potomac power couple.
"And she does not wear the pants in the family, dream on," our source added, regarding Michelle's perhaps undeserved rep for being a bit bossy. Oh, really?

Rob Flies Back to L.A. With Kristen
nationalphotogroup.com
Glad our little travel-tip yesterday turned out to be true.
Robert Pattinson landed back in Los Angeles with GF Kristen Stewart yesterday after unwinding together all weekend in NYC.
Even People magazine has deets of Rob and Kristen full-on making out in public Friday night. Robsten doubters are you even out there still?
So can we get used to this new Robsten? Ya know, the same undercover lovers who try so hard to never be snapped in the same frame together...
Caught! Gorgeous Ryan Gosling Goes Commando!

Ryan Gosling strutted out of his Hollywood gym like he was just walkin' outta the bathroom or somethin'.
The increasingly pumped-up stud-actor was pulling a hoodie over his barely there tight wife-beater, but that's just the start of it. The six-foot-one nascent muscle dude was wearing flimsy track pants that might as well have been pajama bottoms, 'cause we all know what one wears under PJs, right? Same thing with Ryan's black trainers, which could easily have revealed Ryan's religious affiliation.
Either that, or Gosling had his large pet snake with a swollen lip in there, just floppin' around and havin' a good ole time.
Freshly worked out, happy Ryan climbed into his bigass gas-guzzlin' SUV, like it was a perfectly normal thing for an endowed movie star to dangle 'n' go. And I'm sorry, Rachel McAdams is an idiot.
Crazy for private-style partying, also in Hollywood, was...
Bitch-Back! Lambert Worse Than Boobgate?

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?
—Yvette ML
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
Blab Blab Blab: Selena Hearts Rihanna

"I think she's very strong and classy. I look up to that. She carries herself very well."
—The adorable and genuinely sweet Selena Gomez at the American Music Awards, when we asked what she thought about Rihanna's interview with Diane Sawyer.
All eyes were on RiRi, who also looked stunning. And while we may not have been huge fans of her performance, Selena thought she was great.
We agree with Gomez, though, that Rihanna is a person to look up to, especially after everything she's been through. The judge-y jury is out for you readers, we know, but PR for her album aside, we're glad R spoke publicly (though not as early as we would have liked, but, it's Rihanna's decision) about the sad sitch. No doubt she helped at least one girl stuck in a domestic abuse situation, and that's good enough for us.

What are your thoughts on RiRi's new single "Russian Roulette?"
Would You Do...Natalie Portman and Her Blossoms?

Any excuse to put up a picture of Natalie Portman is OK by us!
Nat celebrated the premiere of her new flick Brothers and looked absolutely yumma-do-me while doing it. But a little on the thin side, no? Guess that's Hollywood for ya.
Love the hair, love the makeup, love the dress. Her 'do looks classy, while the strapless mini, busty-bouquet number keeps her looking young. We forget the age of this mature Harvard alum sometimes, but we do know that that vibrant blue hue is impeccable.
One thing missing from the party was costar Jake Gyllenhaal.
Is that because he was home playing with his hair?
Drake on Rihanna: "She's a Good Friend"

Are Rihanna and Drake set to make sweet music together—and then some?
Both Ri-Ri and her rumored boyfriend hit up the American Music Awards...not entirely together. But during commercial breaks, all eyes were on whether the two good-lookin' peeps would get their flirt on. (They didn't, BTW, since they hardly interacted.)
In Hollywood, that could be a sign that something is going on. (Robsten, anyone?)
Here's what we could get outta Drake:
Rob and Kristen "Relaxed" Together in NYC
Jordan Strauss/Getty Images
After grueling months of promotion for New Moon, the Twilight cast has been finding some time to unwind in New York City. All while their li'l film dominates the box office.
Friday night Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart skipped out on the New Moon afterparty and opted for a more private party together at Avenue in NYC, even showing some PG PDA.
The couple also supposedly hit the town together last night.
Rob was photographed leaving trendy eatery Megu in Tribeca, but Kristen was nowhere in paparazzi sight.
How is it possible that they keep going to all these places without getting photographed together? Could it be because K.Stew just really wasn't there?
Bonus Blind! Twilight’s Rocky Trailor Makes A Daring Move!
Everyone wants a status update on Rocky Trailer—one of the many bisexual stars caught up in the Twilight mega-franchise.
Clearly none of the New Mooners blabbed about their tendencies to swing both ways. Ya know, get turned on by guys and girls.
This doesn't come as that big of a surprise to us. Like we said, we'd believe it when we hear it. It's always easier for an actor to think they'll break boundaries by coming clean about their sexuality, but so few ever do.
Our own Taryn Ryder encountered Rocky very recently and actually and had quite the run in...
Bitch-Back! Is There Drama on the Gossip Girl Set?

Dear Ted:
One of my favorite shows on TV is Gossip Girl, but I got to know is there any dirt on the costars? Seems as if Blake Lively and Leighton Meester don't get along too well. Also does anyone else, besides Chace Crawford of course, have a Blind Vice? Thanks! Xoxo
—Melia
Dear GG Gossip:
When Team Awful has spotted the two girls out partying, the two girls haven't even acknowledged each other. Battle of the egos, I'm thinking. As for being BV subjects, Chacey-poo is the only one holding down the naughty GG fort.
Dear Ted:
This is completely random Ted, but did you know if you made Tom Cruise a blonde, he would look just like Peter Facinelli? It's creepy! On a completely different note, who's Terry Tush-Trade? For the love of all that's Holy and good Ted (I know you're a devout Presby)! I have to know. Your loving, devoted, and faithful followers want, no, need to know. Please man! It's almost Christmas ya know. Spill!
—Bubble
Dear Twins:
Um, no way will Facinelli ever look like Cruise. You might be right, but I refuse to imagine it. As for TTT, my lips are sealed until Terry's are not. Or gets caught with one of those damn flipcams.
Dear Ted:
It is 4 a.m. here in Chicago and I am up sipping tea to sooth my never-ending sore throat. I just saw a snippet of Robin Robertson's interview with Janet Jackson. She was talking about MJ's death and her family's attempt at interventions. She also puts it out there who she blames for her brother's death. Although she looked beautifully made up and composed in the interview, her eyes looked so sad. Any thoughts? Is Janet really speaking from the heart? Much love from a true Ted fan.
—Irish_blue
Dear Questioning Heartache:
Janet speaks more from the heart where Joe speaks more from the pocket book. But there are still many things left unsaid in this family.
Dear Ted:
I just don't think Taylor-squared is real. I mean the obvious hints in interviews and how it's conveniently getting them more attention around the re-release of her album and the release of New Moon. It just seems too perfect, and if Taylor Swift's a good friend, she wouldn't date Selena Gomez's ex. It just doesn't make sense. Xx

Blab, Blab, Blab: Would MJ Have Pulled It Off?
Sony Pictures
— "Not in the health he was in. Not in the state he was in."
Singing sensation Melissa Etheridge at the American Music Awards when we asked her whether she thought Michael Jackson would have been able to pull off his planned tour.
Although Etheridge told us she hasn't seen This Is It, yet, it doesn't sound like she needs to. Like we've said before, the film is wonderful, but doesn't do anything to hide MJ's frail frame at the time.
Melissa added that she plans to see the film because she's heard it showcases Jackson's "genius and talent."
Have you all seen it yet? You've only got a week or so—we suggest you check it out. It is a truly remarkable piece of work, but we really don't think Michael would have been able to survive the tour, anyways.
