The Awful Truth

Greg Tidwell, PacificCoastNews.com

Dear Ted: 
John Mayer may be going through some mental or emotional stuff that he's not willing to face. Not that I'm a psychologist or anything but I've noticed things in friends of mine that make me wonder about their emotional state because of the things they do whether it's drugs, alcohol, sex and/or deviant behavior. Until he addresses what may be going on emotionally, we will probably see continued bad behavior from him as well as all of the other celebs who land in AT.
—E Johnson

Dear Celeb Therapist Wannabe:
His mental disorder is immaturity. He'll wise up when he finally grows up. 

Dear Ted:
I've been wondering about Prison Break's Wentworth Miller. He's very attractive and seems to be single. Does that hint that maybe he is not quite available to women? (If you know what I mean).
—Mobey 

Dear Wishin' for Wentworth:
He's more than available for adoring female fans to drool over him. But don't expect to get far.

Dear Ted:
How can these magazines write stuff about people they've never talked to? (i.e. Robsten). Is there really no accountability at all? I understand the concept of "entertainment" mags, but I don't get why/how they can literally say anything. I guess that's why God made lawyers. Geesh!

Dear Ted:
You say Jennifer Garner isn't so nice. But why do you say that? There must be a reason? I would love to hear that because I'm having a hard time accepting that. PS: I love Kristen Stewart!
—Mattias from Belgium

Dear Too Many To Type:
Rude to friends, fans, and husbands plus she's totally manipulative.

Dear Ted:
I know that as a gossip site you find ways to sensationalize stories, and admittedly, I buy into them just as much as the next girl. But please remember Miley Cyrus is 16 and while I appreciate your opinions on David Letterman and the inherent misogyny in Hollywood, maybe you should think about applying these feminist ideals to Miley who is, after all, only a performer and what we see of her is only the entertainer side. I hope I'm not too preachy; I'm just a big fan who doesn't consider her age-inappropriate or slutty at all (a term which when used sets a much worse example for kids than anything Miley might do).
—A.sisley 

Dear Side Cyrus:
Have you seen Mean Girls? Regina George's little sister who is in front of the TV and copying the "Milkshake" dance? Imagine a 7-year-old finding a pole-like object and gyrating on it, like Miley did at the Teen Choice Awards. Not exactly a fab role model, but, I get your point.

Dear Ted:
Started reading AT this summer and now I find myself checking in everyday. Keep up the good work Ted! Have you ever had a Blind Vice on Robert Pattinson?
—Love from Norway

Dear Up Front:
Kind of. 

Dear Ted:
Have you heard about the H.A.P.Y. act? A bill has been introduced for tax relief for pet owners. Please check it out & contact your congressman. Thanks!
—Kathy 

Dear Politically Correct:
Will check it out. Heaven knows my vet bills could use it.

Dear Ted:
Who is the bigger (no pun intended) douche: Seth Green or Kevin Connolly?
—Hayden

Dear Ted:
Pride and Prejudice has recently become my daughter's favorite movie (over 20 viewings and counting), and Keira Knightley her new favorite actress. KK seems intelligent, takes good roles in films and seems to stay out of the lime-light. What's the scoop on KK? Isn't she dating one of the co-stars from P & P?
—Ann

Dear Heart The Brits:
Keira is smart and a good actress. Of course she falls into some of the Hollywood pitfalls, namely how thin she is, but I think she's been working on that. I like her, too.

Dear Ted:
I always thought that of all of the guys on The Office, BJ Novak was the hot one. What's he like in real life? Any chance he's single?
—GLV

Dear Silent, Shy Type:
While I'm more of a John Krasinski type, I totally agree BJ is such a doll. Met him at the Emmys and totally dug the nerdy, but totally delicious guy! Super nice in person, as well.

Dear Ted:
Was there ever a (popular) Blind Vice where the most popular guess was way off?
—Lilly

Dear Ted:
Most everything else you have to say that's opinion I 98 percent agree with! (Go puppies! Don't touch babies!) However, I respectfully disagree completely with your assessment of Letterman! Two consensual adults, yes, doing a deceitful thing, is completely different from raping a minor (or anyone in general). I'm not saying Letterman is justified; if I were his wife he'd be missing his wiener, but this call for action against him is absurd. You say how you want public figures to step up—he did.
—BC

Dear Letterman Ticked:
Yeah, but only halfway. After Letterman's admirable owning up to the accusations, he then went on to joke about it, as if diddling the women on one's staff is just so hilarious and commonplace, chuckle-chuckle, America! Of course there's a huge difference between rape and inappropriate sex. But they both come down to the mistreatment of women, which is no laughing matter, like, get real.

Dear Ted:
I don't know if you've been following but on blog sites like Oceanup there's been a lot of talk about a Jonas/Miley Cyrus feud vs. Miley and Nick being Niley only really, really on the down-low. Any thoughts? In my opinion Miley could do better, especially if the "reconnection" was all about publicity. Though it must be hard for Nick to have an ex that is much more successful than he is.
—A

Dear Girl Power:
Trust me, there are many things these tweens want to keep hidden. It just wouldn't be good for their shiny reputations.

Dear Ted:
I recently watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Jennifer Garner looked terrible! I used to think she was so gorgeous, but now she just looks old. She's only 37, but she looks like she's well in her 40s. What happened?
—lalala

Dear Wrinkles Talk:
Marital troubles take a toll on the looks first.

Dear Ted:
I love you to pieces, you know that, but do you think that perhaps the Awful Truth may be contributing towards some of the mayhem in Robsten's life right now? We fans are all so desperate for any tidbit of information (which you so graciously give us), which in turn feeds the media frenzy to hound, spy, harass or do whatever it takes to get this information. Perhaps you could give K.S./R.P. a break by declaring one day a week a "Robsten-free" day and not allow any Robsten reference in any posts, B.B.s, Blind Vices, etc. Maybe we fans can be "weaned" from the Robsten tree of information. Just an idea.

Is there some sort of Let's Defend Douchebags moment going on in H'wood? First a bunch of otherwise-respected filmmakers and actors disgustingly go on the line to support Roman Polanski's freedom, now it seems as though David Letterman's getting a hand-slap of a free pass for cheating on his wife with Late Show workers.

Oh, but poor David!

He was trying to be extorted for millions! And he was honest about the whole thing and apologized, on national TV no less, so that should make it a-okay, right?

Please! Letterman's non-apology for turning his female staffers into sex objects (not to mention breaking the law) isn't good enough for all the women he's inappropriately gotten involved with over the years, and it shouldn't be for his partner of 23 years. The man's an incredibly powerful TV personality and producer, and prowling on your employees is an awfully dickish thing to do as a boss, even if it's consensual.

Hey, Kirstie Alley, we know ya love to bitch as much as we do when you see wrongdoing—you should be campaigning for the rights of women workers! They certainly need someone to support them when their own employer doesn't seem to give a crap about them. Game?
