–Robert Pattinson has packed his bags and moved out of the house he shares with Kristen Stewart. (She’s also reportedly left and was photographed looking bummed.) Sources say he’s “beyond devastated” and not sure if he should forgive her. Whatever he decides, I really hope he bounces back soon. The last thing he needs is a “sad” scent that clings to him like eau d’Aniston.
-On the plus side, he just landed a new movie role. So there’s that.
-Meanwhile, Us Weekly helpfully points out that KStew was wearing RPattz’s hat when the incriminating photos were taken.
-There’s more disturbing rumblings about Chris Brown and Rihanna hooking up in Saint-Tropez.
-Expect some even sadder sad ballads coming from Taylor Swift; her parents broke up.
-Canadian model Coco Rocha is joining forces with Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova to coach on a new show called The Face.
–Ethan Embry (or, as I like to call him, “you know, that guy…who was in that thing”) and his wife are dunzo.
-Today in real estate porn: Reese Witherspoon offers a peek inside her house.
-Real estate porn, part II: Mel Gibson‘s former estate is on the market for a whopping $33 million.
-Here’s a photo of George Clooneyon a motorcycle. You’re welcome.
–Mad Men creator Matt Weiner is laughing off reports that Elizabeth Moss isn’t coming back.
–Dax Sheppard wins the Internet with this quote about Justin Biebermoving in next door: “The music and the parties and the paparazzi, I mean, it’s like living in Lebanon now.”
–Grey’s Anatomy is about to get a bit less (Mc)sexy.
-This photo of Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd shooting a wedding scene just ensured I’m going to see this movie.
-The first trailer for Cloud Atlas (which stars Tom Hanks and Halle Berry and is coming to TIFF) has landed. As Gawker puts it, “oh god Tom Hanks what are you doing?”
–Kristen Stewart is an idiot. To have the level of fame she does and to think she could screw around with a married man in public(!) and in daylight(!) is beyond comprehension. And to try to pass it off as a “momentary discretion” is insulting. You don’t decide to suddenly and for the first time fool around with a father of two on your way home from the gym. BUT she’s 22. Remember all the stupid crap you did when you were 22? Now imagine if all of that were splashed across the cover of magazines. Not only is she 22, but she’s been in a fame bubble that kept her far removed from reality and consequences. More importantly, she is in the MOST scrutinized relationship on the planet. Even more so than Brangelina. Sure, we all want to look at photos of those two and their brood (whether you admit it or not), but most of us take a glimpse and then move on. Not so for Robsten and the Twihards. They analyse every single sighting, quote and gesture. Trust me on this — I recently felt it firsthand. Can you imagine being in what thousands (maybe more) think is the most perfect relationship ever? How would you not bend a little under the weight of that? I’m not saying she’s not an idiot, and I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to feel some backlash (that from-the-gut apology — “”I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry”” — certainly isn’t helping her case.) I’m just saying that the fan reaction today is getting gross and that we might want to put down the torches and pitchforks for a sec. Let’s not completely crucify this girl, mm-kay? (But feel free to go to town on Rupert Sanders. That guy’s a pig.)
-[Update: Someone got an advanced copy of Us Weekly and scanned the photos. Ooh boy. Now we know why there’s been no denial from her camp]
-I was once in a grocery story line and the woman in front of my was buying Life & Style or InTouch (can’t remember which – those two are interchangeable to me) which was emblazoned with it’s millionth “Brangelina Splits!” cover, and I actually talked her out of it. Like, I just couldn’t watch her throw her money away on it. I told her if you want sleaze, try Star. If you want a greater chance of there being more truth nuggets buried amongst the sleaze, go with Us Weekly, (who, at the very least, always reaches out to the reps for official comment). And if you want kind of boring but rep-approved story, stick with People. They may be butt-kissers when it comes to celebrities, but they have a rep for not just making shit up. So I nearly did a spit take when this story from People showed up in my Twitter feed: ‘Kristen Stewart Cheats On Robert Pattinson with Director‘. What. The. Hell. Her camp and the director’s have yet to comment, which leads me to wonder if their source is a friend of RPattz or the director’s wife (her tweets last night and this Instagram might be telling), or if it’s KStew‘s camp trying to get in front of the story. Gossip Cop (who’s raison d’etre is to punch holes in stories like these) is confirming it by quoting a “source close to the actress.” Us Weekly‘s cover shot with her and Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders (who, btw, is 41 and married with two kids) is also pretty incriminating. Poor Robert Pattinson. The Breaking Dawn promo tour just got really sad.
-Whatever my opinion of Christian Bale in the past, I’ve gotta give him props for trying to quietly visit the Aurora shooting victims.
-Meanwhile, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the latest Dark Knight star to offer his condolences.
-Just in case you were suffering under the delusion that the Jacksons are a normal, well-adjusted family comes news that Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson wanna be startin’ something by allegedly attempting to forcibly take awayMichael‘s kids. And now comes reports that Janet and Paris got into a slapping match during the fray.
–Sherman Hemsley has passed away. Cue a million ‘moving on up…to heaven’ headlines.
–Emma Watson is reportedly being considered to star in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. The only way I could hate this news more is if it was being sung by Gwyneth Paltrow to the tune of “Call Me Maybe”…
-Speaking of Carly Rae Jepsen, her new music video has landed.
-This is what happens when every member of a cast scores an Emmy nod: the contract negotiations get ugly. The adults in the cast of Modern Family have pulled a Friends, skipping this morning’s table read and filing a lawsuit that claims their current contracts are illegal.
