Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are officially dating. Wonder how she feels about that “
allergic to vagina” thing? Brangelina kiss in public, LiLo wants to move to England, Dakota Fanning turns sweet 16, Mickey Rourke admires Megan Fox’s luscious acting talent. Come bask in Thursday gossip’s reflected glory.
- Just when we started thinking he was gay, Robert Pattinson comes out of the closet as sulky Kristen Stewart’s boyfriend, although the interview where he does so is pretty weird. “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy.” The Sun wouldn’t just make up an interview, though, would they? I mean, white lies and unsourced rumours are one thing, but wholesale quote fabrication? I’m going with Celebitchy’s explanation: “Sparkles could be drunk.” For Kristen’s sake, I hope it’s not true, because a boyfriend who “hate[s] vagina” sounds pretty lame. [Sun] [Celebitchy]
- Brangelina’s Venice photo op extravaganza continues. Now they’re tossing their tongues down each others’ throats in public [fig.1] and displaying twin babies Vivienne and Knox, who are as frightfully cute as Shiloh. Looking at these beautiful people is like smoking crack. You know that, ultimately, it is bad, and the happiness you experience is somehow inauthentic, and yet you cannot stop. [DailyMail]
- Lindsay Lohan is moving to England. The terror of Tinseltown tweeted, “Moving to the UK is in my near future* better dj’s/music and Paris is just a Chunnel away!” She never explained what that star meant, but I’m thinking the deejay thing is a subtle diss to SamRo. Later, she @-tweeted someone about how she’d be just like Madonna. [Twitter]
- Lady Gaga’s Tisch school thesis was “crazy” and “like 80 pages on Spencer Tunick”, the guy who poses hundreds of people on big spaces then photographs them. Tunick has requested to read it. [P6]
- Dakota Fanning wore a crazy outfit with torn tights and a tiara, [fig.2] but since it was her birthday, maybe it was one of those things where all your girlfriends wake you up in the morning and force you into an OMG! outfit, and if you are unlucky Rose McGowan shoves a jawbreaker into your mouth and you die, but if you are lucky, you’re just a cute teen star with a relatively normal teen life, which may include experimenting with torn tights from time to time.

- Charlie Sheen’s prehab stint started last night. Between this and threatening to murder his wife, his Two and a Half Men contract negotiations are perhaps not going so well. [TMZ] [TMZ]
- Mickey Rourke says Megan Fox is “the most talented actress I’ve worked with”. Admittedly, he has not had the strongest bunch of female co-actors, but you’d think Evan Rachel Wood could out-act Fox. “People say bad stuff about her and how she can’t act, but they only say that because she’s beautiful.” He continues, “When she cries in a scene, I get emotional.” …in the pants! Can I get a fistbump. [Gatecrasher]
- Padma Lakshmi’s miracle baby, Krishna Thea Lakshmi, has a daddy after all. Adam Dell (brother of the Dell Computers guy) donated the sperm, and Page Six says he’s in it for the long-haul, too.

- PETA has denounced Jessica Simpson for tweeting, “I’m thinking about getting a pet pig. Does this mean I’ll have to give up pork?” PETA’s retort: “Pigs, who are smarter than dogs and every bit as sensitive to pain and stress, don’t belong in Jessica’s stomach or carted around as her latest accessory.” Also, the answer is no, unless it’s ribs and piggy is watching.

- J.Lo and Sony didn’t just split, Gatecrasher reports. Her label dropped her because her singles suck and so does her new album. She will now resort to the last refuge of all stars hawking crappy, unsellable output: Put it on the internet.
- Mel B and her daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown (yes, that is a ’90s sitcom in her daughter’s name) have matching Rihanna-esque partially-shaved hairdos which will be a total bitch to grow out, but that’s the point, I guess: recklessly stylish, irreversibly cool in ways mere mortals dare not attempt.
