The Awful Truth

"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?

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...

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...

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

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?

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...

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

Dear Ted:
AT is part of my early morning ritual, helping me start the day on a light (or juicy) note before diving into work. Johnny Depp as People's Sexiest is fine by me—he's certainly do-able and sexy—but what in the world has he done to his face? I swear I didn't even recognize him in that picture. What do you make of the recent changes to his face and do you think he can tell how strange he looks? I've got nothing against fillers and corrective treatments—if they're done right the results can be rejuvenating and natural-looking—but it seems like so many stars go overboard or get terrible work done. Why is that? You'd think a big star would be choosier and go to the best. Also, why would People choose such a terrible photo for the cover and why would his people approve that ugly mug shot? Thanks!
—Kitty

Dear Depp Be-Gone:
I think the front pic isn't all that bad; it's pretty hard to make Depp look ugly.

Dear Ted:
I have some questions regarding Bradley Cooper. I get the feeling that he is a colossal egomaniac. There are never pictures of him out with friends. Does he have famous friends, if so who are they? I don't think he is gay but there is something about his personality he is hiding from us, am I right?
—Emma 

Dear Hermit Crab:
Coop isn't showing his true self, that's for sure. Totally doable, as he may be.

Dear Ted:
I was wondering if you ever get threatened by publicists whenever you publish a Blind Vice or other items rendering a particular celebrity's image suspicious. Aren't you worried for your safety? I admire you for putting the truth out there, or at least the best you can.
—Big Fan

Dear Worry Wart:
You've got no idea babe! I'm more concerned about a backlash of Twilight fans than publicists, though. They're tough-ass mothers!

Dear Ted:
Ok, you've given us a list of 12 guys who are not Toothy Tile. How about a list of 12 guys who are not Nevis Devine? Love ya.
—Salrob 

Dear Trying Easy:
Nevis has a few more years to go until he reaches the legendary status of Toothy. I'll think about it, though Good idea.

Dear Ted:
I'm gonna bitch. I have read you forevah but you have to stop the jumping to the next page to continue reading a storyline. It truly is fubar and takes way too long to load. (and I usually never complain about a delayed load! lol) Love you, love the furbabies, mine's a rescued lab that has more love in his eyes than a queen has mirrors. (Scorpios are awesome, right Ted?)

"I mean, a lot of it has to do with what's fun and exciting. But, I think I have the advantage of being a chameleon. I want to play every and any role—I don't want to be stuck in one place. It's important to reach out to every demographic." 

—New Moon's Ashley Greene, when we asked her how she picks and chooses what press to do. Like her Maxim cover, for example, rather than other teen-centric mags. Rob, Kristen, and Taylor probably don't get that much of a choice since the entire movies focus around them, but its clear Ash wants to be seen as not just a franchised chick. Don't ya think? 

Better question: Is it working?

Check out the New Moon Mag Covers gallery to see more with the whole cast!

Darlings, we were going to give you a New Moon Vice update, but for all of you who are so sick of vampires you could cry blood. We'll reward you by bringing back an oldie but yummy-goodie. 

Remember Crotch-Uh-Lastic? The hunky, rising, male star who would hire men to come back to his Hills pad, dress up in some swim trunks and get the naughty party started?

We can't believe it's almost been two years, but Crotch has officially risen, like a hunky hero out of burning celeb-saturated waters! Mr. Uh-Lastic has solidified himself as a respected Hollywood actor, which means it's time to be even more discreet 'bout his homolicious ways...

"Five."

—So reveals our inside Desperate Housewives source regarding the total number of deaths resulting from this season's cliffhanger plane catastrophe. We're told it's the result of two passengers on the small aircraft getting into an argument

They die, too, by the by, as do some darling, dear residents on the ground on Wisteria Lane. Gosh, think those might be Teri Hatcher and her crackhead dietician up there in that plane bitching away? Never know! And let's hope!

While supporting fellow rock babe Mary Weiland during her book party (Fall to Pieces) at Book Soup in West Hollywood, Dave Navarro told me he's "Team Nobody," when I asked if he was on Edward or Jacob's bus.

"I'm an adult," sniffed Carmen Electra's tattooed and famously ab-licious ex, with more derision than I have for stars like Paris Hilton who buy dogs from puppy mills. 

Jeez, who does this dude think he is, Miley Cyrus, or something?

Why can't the Red Hot Chili Pepper-pot share the vampire love, already? I mean, he kinda looks like one, right? 

"Yeah, I started this look," insisted the bearded demi-dude all in black and multiple tatts.

"Gosh, Dave, you're not even into True Blood?," I asked. 

Suddenly, Navarro looked like I said he has the most unbeatable tummy muscles in the world:
