They're not old enough for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so what's family movie night like at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's house?
How about the 1984 classic Karate Kid?
Just the other night, Pitt attended a packed-house industry screening and Q&A for Inglourious Basterds at the DGA building in West Hollywood. After Karate director John G. Avidsen asked a question, Mr. Pitt took a moment to announce to everyone, "We just watched Karate Kid with the kids."
And Pitt's not the only celeb we've spotted out and about this week. Keep reading for scoop on Chris Pine and new ladylove Olivia Munn, Sandra Bullock and Kim Kardashian…

Justin Bieber can thank Twitter for his broken foot.
See, if it wasn't for the social networking phenomenon, the li'l guy may never have met Taylor Swift and therefore may never have gotten the chance to open for her at England's Wembley Arena.
We'll let the Biebster explain...

Melissa Etheridge predicted this would happen.
She spoke as if she were reading a crystal ball when we chatted at the American Music Awards before Adam Lambert's controversial sex-charged performance.
We asked Ms. Etheridge what advice she'd give to the out and proud 27-year-old glam rock Idol star. Little did we know that her well-seasoned words were a foreshadowing of things to come later that night...

Dancing With the Stars' Mya: What She'd Do With the Disco Ball Trophy

What does one do after spending about 14 weeks working on Dancing With the Stars?
Get some much needed rest.
"I definitely need a break to allow my ankle to heal properly for about a couple of weeks," Mya told me earlier today during a break from rehearsing tonight's finale.
Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin proved last night why they are this season's best dancers. They nabbed two perfect scores for their paso doble and the megamix, and a 27 for their Hairspray freestyle.
And Mya is also fun to talk to—no matter how tired she may be. I'm going to miss waking up to her voice every Tuesday morning. Read on for the last of our exclusive weekly chats.

Move over, Kim Zolciak!
There's another blond Housewife who wants in on the music biz.
When I caught up with Gretchen Rossi of the Real Housewives of Orange County at the American Music Awards, she told me she had a very good reason for being there...

Shakira is no actress, but maybe it's time for her to become one.
She and her hips are wanted over at ABC's new hit comedy Modern Family.
"I'm trying to convince her to act," M.F. star and resident MILF Sofia Vergara told me at the American Music Awards. "Hopefully, she'll say yes."
Vergara liked our suggestion that...

Selena Gomez: I'm Not Hating on Twilight!
DZILLA/bauergriffinonline.com
Selena Gomez wants you to know that she never said she doesn't like Twilight.
The Disney darling has been getting a lot of flack from Twi-hards because they're feeling like she dissed the world's most talked-about vampire franchise when she told Bonnie Hunt last week that she hasn't actually seen Twilight.
"All I said was that I didn't watch it and I felt bad for not watching it," Selena explained to me at yesterday's American Music Awards. "But of course, now it's like, 'I don't like it.' That's not the case."
And Selena is brave enough to admit that—gasp!—she hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twi-novels, either. "I feel bad," she said. "And I'm sorry if I offended anyone for that."
Selena certainly wasn't the only one talking Twilight and New Moon at the AMAs. Read on for more…

It's happy feet time!
With just a couple of days to go until the disco ball trophy is handed out on Dancing With the Stars, we thought we'd check in with some DWTS vets to find out what they think will go down when Mya, Donny and Kelly waltz as if their lives depended on it…
Beating the Crap Out Of Robert Pattinson Edward
Kimberley French/Summit Entertainment
The thought of Robert Pattinson getting hurt is just too much too bear, isn't it?
But that's exactly what could have happened if anything had gone wrong during his and Daniel Cudmore's big, violent fight scene in New Moon.
Cudmore, the Tom Brady-esque hunkster who plays Volturi vampire Felix, said some of the stunts got a little too close for comfort when he and Pattinson went at it.
"Because of my contacts, my peripheral vision was off, so there were a couple of times where I thought I was going to really hit him," Cudmore recalled at the New Moon premiere in L.A. "Luckily, I didn't."
Maybe that's why Pattinson seemed a bit nervous when they first began working on the scene...
Tom Ford: Why I Quit Acting
The Weinstein Company
Tom Ford's got another movie up his always fashionable sleeve.
But right now, he's still all about his upcoming Oscar-buzzing directorial debut, A Single Man.
"I have something I'm working on but I'm not ready to talk about it," Ford told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I just finished [A Single Man] in August and then we went to Toronto, Venice, Tokyo and London promoting it and my head is spinning. Maybe six months after we're finished with all this I'll be able to figure out what I want to do next."
Definitely not on the agenda? Reviving his attempts at an acting career.
"You know, I used to act when I was younger, but I quit," Ford, 48, explains. "I did it from about 17 to 24. I was too self-conscious. I didn't like it. I wasn't in control."
Spoken like a true director.
Uh-Oh! New Moon Should Have Been Better
Not that I'm presuming what I think about New Moon will have any effect on ticket sales, but this being the big day, I just felt I had to vent a little.
Sad to say, but I had some problems with the movie. I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to.
The corny dialogue irked me, Taylor Lautner's overpumped bod on the big screen is way too meathead and did Kristen Stewart actually enjoy kissing Robert Pattinson's Christmas cranberry red lips?
The computer-generated werewolves were cool. But they seemed to be in the wrong movie. They were too slick for this flick.
Don't worry, I do have some nice things to say...
True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
HBO/Jaimie Trueblood
Alexander Skarsgård can't wait to start shooting the next season of True Blood.
"It's been like five or six months since I've seen most of them," Skarsgård, who plays vampire Eric on the hit HBO series, told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I miss the whole cast and crew. It's sort of my family away from my family in Sweden."
In the meantime, there is that other bloodsucking megahit phenomenon sweeping the world universe to keep everyone company. So, will Mr. Skarsgård be checking out New Moon?
"When does it open?" he said, smiling. "I'll get my sleeping bag and wait in line." (P.S.: Maybe Kate Bosworth will join him. The maybe-couple were quite adorable in their comfy coziness at the GQ party).
Now back to vampires, Skarsgård isn't the only one cracking jokes—at least we think he was joking—about camping out to see the return of Robert Pattinson & Co...
