Bridget Marquardt Settles Into Her New Digs,Trapeze and All


Yes, we did say trapeze. But more on that later.

Brainy Girls Next Door beauty Bridget Marquardt must have taken advantage of her rent-free years at the Playboy Mansion and is finally moving into a place of her own.

Earlier this month, Bridget was beyond excited to chat about her new digs with E! News: "It's my first purchase like this! I've never had my own house before. We ended up with a Tuscan-style house."

The Sherman Oaks pad went for $1,725,000, reports the Los Angeles Times, but that's just the jumping-off point.

Bridget has big plans for her new place. No, not another intimate grotto for skinny-dipping adventures. Marquardt is having a circus-style trapeze installed in her two-story entry hallway! And before your minds wander to all sorts of strange and kinky places, the Bridget's Sexiest Beaches host simply uses it to keep that amazing physique.

"Trapeze is a great workout. It got me in the best shape in my life," says the Hollywood Aerial Arts member.

The apparatus will be "vintage-style—with velvet on the ropes and shiny silver balls on the ends," with an aerial loop, to boot!

Bridget and new roomie, boyfriend Nicholas Carpenter, will also turn one of the five bedrooms into a wardrobe for her Girls Next Door memorabilia and add a water slide to the swimming pool.

Something tells us she won't be missing her Playboy digs anytime soon.

Lindsay Cops a 'tude: How Lohan Can You Go?


Talk about high maintenance! Here's how Lindsay Lohan repaid a good Samaritan who tried to return her cell phone: She called the cops.

According to gossips at the New York Daily News, Lohan reportedly left her celly on a deli counter in Little Italy. When a clerk ran out to the street and knocked on her cab window to ask if it was her phone, she said yes.

But before he handed it over to her, he asked her to verify the number since there had been many customers in the place. When she couldn't, and perhaps miffed that he didn't recognize her, she tried to grab it out of his hand. When she failed to snatch it away from him, she reportedly said, "I'm calling the police! I'm going to arrest you for not giving me my phone!"

A friend of Lohan's called 911. When the cops arrived, the clerk handed them the phone. After the police verified it was her phone they returned it.

"I was just trying to be honest. Now I have police and trouble already," the deli guy said. "Who is she? Is she a star?"

Well, we think she used to be.

Jenna Dewan: Channing Should Have Been Vampire


Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg isn't the only one who thinks hunky Channing Tatum would have been perfect to play Riley in Eclipse.

The G.I. Joe star's wife, Jenna Dewan, says director David Slade should have let hm sink his teeth into the role.

"I totally tried to get him to do it," Dewan told us earlier this week at the InStyle Summer Soirée at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. "I was like, 'Baby, do Twilight!' Oh, my god. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I've read all the books. So I was like, 'You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!'"

Unfortunately for Jenna, Xavier Samuel snagged the part of the corrupted vampire in the third installment of the Robert Pattinson bloodsucker movie franchise.

While Dewan says Tatum hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books, she's a huge fan...

"I just saw the trailer for [New Moon] today," she said. "It's one of those things where I liked the books so much, I felt like a 10-year-old reading them. I finished them in like three days."

Eclipse or no Eclipse, it seems the newlyweds are more about work right now than starting a family. Dewan is about to start shooting a two-episode stint as a film executive on the CW's new Melrose Place, while Tatum just wrapped Dear John and has at least three more flicks in the works.

"Ask me in a couple years," Jenna said about having babies. "We do want them, just not right now. If I have three, if I have 10—I just want them to be happy and healthy kids."

What Happens to R.Pattz When Twilight Is Over?


What will happen to Robert Pattinson after all of the Twilight Saga films are done? You think all the obsessed fans will flee him?
—HannahPenton, via Twitter

"Flee," eh? Well, if there's anything a Twilight fan loves, it's overblown melodramatic wordage. Why merely wander off when you can tear through the woods as if being chased by a bloodthirsty high-fashion vampire?

Fans may love R.Pattz now, but kids also used to obsess over Orlando Bloom and Mark Hamill. The indicators for Pattz's future are not necessarily all that solid...

...and that's based on actual data. You know. Facts.

Like this one:

Pattz is already showing symptoms of the deadly Mark Hamill factor. Moviegoers had so much trouble disassociating the Star Wars actor from his Luke Skywalker character that he removed all mentions of the franchise from his résumé.

After taking the role of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Elijah Wood was so aware of the dangers of Mark Hamill syndrome—"[Fans] were only able to associate him with that role," Wood once observed—that he deliberately picked movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to make sure he didn't get typecast.

"That's the main thing, continue to work and be perceived in a different light with different characters," Wood once explained to an Australian newspaper. (Bloom, on the other hand, has two giant franchises to overcome: Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean.)

And that's exactly what Pattz needs to do more of. Right now. Because according to data pulled by social media agency Karma Media Labs, the kids are having a real hard time separating the actor from the bloodsucker.

Between the fan forums, social media sites and photo and video sharing sites, Karma CEO Lori Dicker concludes that "most of the references and conversations about Robert Pattinson are about his character, and less about him as a stand-alone personality outside of Twilight."

In fact, she notes, "One of the top contributors of content on a popular photo sharing site is named Robert_is_Edward."

And don't even talk to me about Pattz's forgettable turn as Salvador Dalí. Did you stand in line to see Little Ashes? Exactly.

Pattz has another big hurdle ahead of him, too.

He has to prove he can act. Sounds like an unnecessary road block—why please the critics when you can hypnotize fans?—but to survive in Hollywood long term, you really do need talent.

Harrison Ford made huge bank swinging from Star Wars to Indiana Jones. But he would have eventually crawled back to carpentry if directors found he couldn't carry a movie like Working Girl or Regarding Henry. And Pattz has yet to show true chops even in the movies he's already done.

Here's what the Village Voice had to say about Little Ashes: "Pattinson—first presented as a twitchy weirdo...has difficulty conveying cracked genius, at one point seeming to mimic Jame Gumb's prance in front of the mirror in The Silence of the Lambs until settling on just bugging his eyes out."

"Pattinson...is more parody than performance," the Los Angeles Times echoed.

Even Twilight hasn't exactly bowled the critics over when it comes to Pattz.

After watching it, "I checked Pattinson out on Google Images and found he almost always glowers at the camera 'neath shadowed brow," über-critic Roger Ebert concluded.

Of course Pattz could show the world he has staying power starting with his next non-Twi flick, Remember Me. But until then, the jury is far from in.

Swanky Saturdays: Get Sienna Miller's Cinderella Look for Less

Gisele's Rocking a Nicole Kidman Baby Bump?


Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is pregnant! Maybe! Maybe not! She's not saying anything about it, which means it is up to us to examine pictures of her and make assumptions. That is our job, don't hate.

Judging from this shot, something that doesn't quite look like this is going on in her midsection.

Instead it's something that looks more like baby growing. That is our professional opinion. You're welcome.

To put it into historical baby-bump context, Gisele is lucky enough to have the build for a small, barely noticeable Nicole Kidman-like bump.

We'll keep you posted on any further bump developments.

Billy Ray Cyrus Declares Miley's Pole Dancing "Art"


Yeah, we still haven't forgotten Miley Cyrus taking the stripper pole for a spin during the Teen Choice Awards. Apparently, neither has her father.

Only, Billy Ray Cyrus doesn't find it quite as appalling as we—and, judging by your comments, you—did. In fact, the proud papa thinks it was downright entertaining.

"You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people," he tells Access Hollywood.

People were entertained all right, but not exactly in the way a 16-year-old's father would necessarily want. Then again, this is the boot-scootin' dad who set up his teenager with a 20-year-old boy.

"I always tell her to love what you're doing and stay focused for the love of the art and not worry so much about opinion," he adds.

Art = pole dancing. Got it.

Cole Carson: Thanks To All

The singer might have completed his debut as producers, but he cant stop praising all the members of the crew and the cast of Geek Civilization.

The singer quoted,"If someone deserves the credit it has to be the crew members and cast members who made this thing possible, without them the movie wont have been completed so quickly, most movies take 45-60 days to complete, but with the work done with whole heart everything was done quickly and everyone who worked on it deserves the credit for it. Freddie, Demetria, Amy, and rest of my production team and the cast deserves the credit.......thank you all"

Cole Carson most work was cut out because the member of the cast and crew were his friends and the work was done in cheap too, the singer's agent quoted.

Geek Civilization hits the theaters next month on 18th September as the movie gets U/A certificate from the censor board.

Are Angels the New Vampires?

Do Robert Pattinson and the rest of Twilight's hot vampires need to worry about an attack of killer angels?

Legion, which stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Kate Walsh, Tyrese Gibson—not to mention the most limber granny ever—comes loaded with big explosive stuff about the end of the world, the Second Coming and swarms of avenging angels. Plus, Bettany plays the kind of mysterious stranger who says little, kicks butt and knows how to make things go boom.

OK, so maybe this guy's no Edward Cullen, but the special effects are literally jaw-dropping, the mixture of action and religion intriguing and the wall-climbing granny gives us faith that this angelic film is something we'll be checking out. Do you agree?

Still a sucker for vampires? Get a taste in our TV's Hottest Vampires gallery.

More Paula Replacements: A JoBro and the Original American Idol


Who knows if American Idol is going to suck without Paula Abdul next season, but her empty chair will be getting quite the workout regardless.

The original Idol, season-one winner Kelly Clarkson, and teen dream Joe Jonas are the latest hitmakers who will be pulling guest-judge duty on the Fox series' upcoming ninth season, the L.A. Times' Showtracker blog reported Tuesday.

Like Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, Mary J. Blige and, most recently, Shania Twain, the pop stars have signed on to critique a set of wannabes during one of the audition rounds.

(Not really sure how any "Burnin' Up" fan is going to make it through her/his solo in front of the arguably hottest JoBro, but maybe we'll be lucky enough to be privy to some innocent, nonfatal hyperventilating.)

Clarkson last graced the Idol stage as a performer in March, while Joe and his fellow Jonas Brothers performed on the season-seven finale, before the coronation of David Cook.

Well, we know that both judges can sing. The only question is, do we care what they think?

I Am Ready For The New Challenge

It was reported last night that the singer turn actor/ producer Cole Carson has signed up for movie called Dignity, which would be directed by Steven Soderbergh.

"I am ready for the new challenge, when I read the script I was hoping that the director is keeping any back up plans, I came to the office and agreed to do the film, and I think this movie can help me a lot in my career and the script is really amazing and would love to do it."said the California Singer Cole Carson

Director Steven Soderbergh quoted," I think if anyone can do the lead role in a movie like this needs to be well matured and I think Cole has got that maturity."

Exclusive: My Chemical Romance's New Album Is A 'Love Letter To Rock And Roll'

'It's definitely more aggressive, but to me it feels like a celebration of rock and roll,' Gerard Way says.



Forget all that talk about ditching the shtick and focusing on fast-and-furious punk. My Chemical Romance have one sentiment they'd like to get across on their new album, one that echoes what Grand Funk Railroad said decades ago: "We're an American band."

"The punk element was something a lot of people talked about. I think once I said we were pulling out the marching bands, they assumed it was going to be a punk record," Gerard Way told MTV News last month at San Diego Comic-Con, where he was promoting "Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion," the third series of his Eisner-winning comic. "I mean, it's definitely more aggressive, but to me it feels like a celebration of rock and roll. It feels like a true love letter to rock and roll. There's something about being an American rock-and-roll band that we've kind of grown into and we're very proud of. And I think that's what we're celebrating with this record. There's no agenda, there's no mission; it's just about rock and roll."

For proof, check out the fan footage of "Death Before Disco," one of three new tracks MCR unveiled last Friday, during a secret show at the Roxy in Los Angeles. It's a charging, fist-pumping number that recalls the Motor City pump of the MC5 and the L.A. strut of the Knack. And to help them hone in on that vibe even further, they've tapped producer Brendan O'Brien — who's done albums for Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Mastodon, to name just a few — to helm the sessions for the new album.

"We're so happy working with Brendan O'Brien," Way said. "We love him, we're having the best time of our lives. It's a total blast. I feel like it's getting close to being finished. We're doing tracking now. There's no title yet. It's crazy — this is the first time we're waiting to get really far into the project before [choosing a title]. I'm actually kind of excited about that. It's kind of 'anything goes' at this point, but I'm so happy with the songs."

Way said there's still no release date for the new album, though he added, "It's safe to say it'll come out next year." This is all keeping with the band's open-ended, fast-and-loose approach to recording and writing, a first for MCR, who — up to this point — have made their living on expansive conceptual fare.

"It's actually kind of liberating," Way said. "I'm writing lyrics simply about what the song's telling me, instead of trying to shoehorn something into a story line. I'd say they all have their own little stories. Some of them are direct, real life things that happened to us or me. Some of them are fiction, [because] I didn't want to lose that side. One of the things I really liked about Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is that we took people on a journey with each video and each single, even though it was a concept record. The Black Parade didn't do that. It stuck all the way through to this rigid vision up until the end, but this time I'm really excited about giving someone something new every time."

The willowy redhead posed for the provocative snaps in London in June, combining diamond-encrusted bangles and rings in combination with black leather and spandex.

True Blood Costar: I See Kids in Anna & Stephen's Future


Are baby vampires in the works for Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer?

Moyer, 39, may have two kids from previous relationships, but that won't stop him from having more with his fiancee costar, Paquin, 27.

"Anna's so great with Stephen's kids and seems to love them so much, so she seems like someone who would be very open to having kids with him," Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam on the hit HBO vampire series, tells us. "I wouldn't be surprised."

Read on to find out why Bauer thinks the acting duo makes such a great team off camera, plus some deets on the finale...


"Anna and Stephen laugh a lot," said Bauer, who recently married musician Abri van Straten after dating for just six months. "Stephen acts like a respectful gentleman to her. They seem like they're friends and enjoy the same activities. They live together, they work together every day, and they seem to be inseparable."

As for True Blood scoop, Bauer promises it's going to get even darker than it already is. "The finale is unbelievable!" she said. "It's a true climax. In each of the four worlds, there's a cataclysmic event. All these worlds come together to save Bon Temps."


Alyssa Milano's Charming Wedding


While Alyssa Milano is slated to star in ABC's Romantically Challenged, the 36-year-old is doing just fine in the romance department off the set.

Milano married talent agent David Bugliari Saturday at his family's estate in New Jersey, E! News has confirmed.

The former Charmed star palmed a lily of the valley floral bouquet, as she strolled down an aisle sprinkled with cream-colored rose petals and grass in a custom gown designed by Vera Wang, according to People Magazine.

Rather than enter the wedding to traditional "Here Comes the Bride" tunes, Milano instead walked toward her husband-to-be to John Lennon's "Imagine."

Guests, including Hangover star Bradley Cooper, watched the couple exchange vows under a gazebo woven with calla lilies, willows and roses.

When the ceremony ended, family and friends of the newlyweds headed to a bucolic-style reception, decorated with wrought-iron chandeliers and farmhouse tables.

Milano, who is of Italian descent, said she wanted to create the essence of her family's Sunday dinners at her wedding reception.

"We wanted to capture the same feeling with people passing around beautiful bowls of food and talking and laughing," Milano told People.

Milano and Bugliari announced their engagement in January of this year. The Creative Artist Agency agent popped the question to the actress Dec. 18, after the couple had been dating for more than a year.

The newlyweds celebrated their engagement with a lavish party in May, where guests including Milo Ventimiglia and Jon Heder were treated to red velvet cupcakes, a frozen yogurt bar, grilled salmon and tequila cocktails.

This is the second marriage for Milano, who was previously married to singer-songwriter Cinjun Tate.

Trace Cyrus Loves to Hate Disney Kids


When your younger sister is Disney's most famous pole dancer, it's probably only natural to rebel. That's what Trace Cyrus is doing, anyway. "Need more tattoos so everyone knows I'm the cool one."

When he's not taking awesome pictures of those tats in his hotel room, he's bullying the rest of the Disney gang. It was just last month the 20-year-old Metro Station singer and guitarist was engaging in some high school Twitter drama with Demi Lovato.

Now, it's the Jonas Brothers he's after. Talking to September's Details, he says, "I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake."

And he'll back that up with fists...

"I don't think any of them would be much trouble. I'd never lay a hand on Nick—I love that kid—but the other two better not get in my way."

All right, that is enough from you, Trace Cyrus. We get it. You're so cool, which is why you're wasting so much time on these Disney kids. That's just what cool people do. Duh.

They also get tattoos and dye their hair black and wear it in their face and work that webcam. So yeah, you're the coolest?

Bandslam's Aly on Nudity, Kissing and R.Pattz


Aly Michalka is growing up.

But not too much. The 19-year-old, best known from Aly & AJ, tells me there's not a chance in heck she'll be stripping down for a movie.

"I don't think it's necessary," Aly says. "I think there are other ways to shoot a love scene or a sexy scene without taking your clothes off."

However, she does get to stir things up a bit in the upcoming Easy A, opposite Superbad's Emma Stone...

"It's a really quirky, raunchy comedy," Aly said. "I play [Emma's] crazy best friend who has the worst mouth on her possible, definitely a different role for me. She cusses like a sailor."

Ms. Aly's newest flick, Bandslam, isn't too much of a departure for her. She costars with Vanessa Hudgens and Gaelan Connell as the popular girl in school who helps put together a rock-and-roll band with some fellow students.

She and Gaelan even share an onscreen smooch. "We were really comfortable with each other," Aly explained. "We had known each other for months. I was just like, 'Dude, we're going to kill this! Don't worry about it. It's going to be sick.' We just pumped each other up and it turned out really good."

She does realize that screenings of Bandslam will include the premiere of the New Moon trailer. "It's huge," Aly said. "I think it will help our film."

Even though she admitted to being "more of a Harry Potter fan," Aly definitely gets the Robert Pattinson phenomenon. "But it's not just about his looks," she said. "I actually find him to be a really good, solid actor."

Can We Trust Rufus and Lily's Long-Lost Love Child on Gossip Girl?


What kind of Gossip Girl scene is this? Where are the tears and recriminations? Are Lily Rhodes van der Woodsen Bass (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle) really having a genuine and heartwarming reunion with their long-lost son, Scott (Chris Riggi)? Or is Scott actually a lying grifter out to break Rufus' heart and make off with Lily's money?

We've got the exclusive dish on what Rufus and Lily's love child really wants from our favorite Upper East Side adults...

Believe it or not, the joyous reunion scene is genuine! Sources tell us that the kiddos (Dan, Serena, Little J and Eric) learn about their half brother earlier in the season, but in episode five of Gossip Girl season three, Rufus and Lily finally meet their long-lost spawn, Scott, and he's up to nothing more nefarious than trying to find his birth parents. He's a good guy, after all! Awww...

Scott's main arc is the first five episodes of the season, and he departs again after the big reunion, but more likely than not, the character will recur again for the remainder of the season.

Are you excited that Scott turns out to be a good guy? Are you looking forward to the return of Gossip Girl?

Miley Cyrus' pole-dancing performance sparks criticism


Who wears short shorts? Miley Cyrus does - and black leather boots, too.

The 16-year-old Disney star, who sold out Nassau Coliseum in 2007 and is in line to do the same for her November show here, took another step along the Britney Spears career track this weekend with a pole-dancing performance at the Teen Choice Awards that some say sent the wrong message to her tween-age fans.

Cyrus, who has been piping up about broadening her appeal, busted out the provocative get-up to sing her song "Party in the USA" for a segment of the teen awards fest taped Sunday and broadcast Monday night on Fox.

Halfway through the song, Cyrus climbed atop an ice cream cart and shimmied alongside a pole protruding from its top. But if you were surprised, offended or shocked by the move, you really shouldn't be, say Miley-watchers - this has been coming for some time.

"She already has this risque image, so it really wasn't much of a stretch," says Us magazine senior editor Ian Drew. "That's how Britney took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well."

Ah, Brits: during the TCAs, Spears joined Cyrus to accept an award - a trophy Cyrus was proud to hand over "because I'm a big fan of hers."

Fox declined to comment further earlier Monday on the appearance, other than to confirm it would be included in the broadcast.

A spokeswoman for Disney, which makes "Hannah Montana," said, "Disney Channel
won't be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience - kids 6-14 - and consistent with what our brand values are."

A spokesman for Cyrus' label, Hollywood Records, would not comment.

She is filming an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel "The Last Song," which casts her as a rebellious teen. She appeared in a bustier on the August 2009 cover of Elle. And there were those 2008 Vanity Fair photos, where she was shot topless from behind by Annie Leibovitz.

While the transition to a more adult personage may work to her advantage careerwise, it's a problem for the younger fans who idolize her as "Hannah" - and they are mostly "younger" fans, says West Islip child psychologist Wendi Fischer. "She's sending this message that this is 'OK' to do, and I don't think it is OK to do," she said of Cyrus' sexualized performance. "Miley's only 16.

Why is she rushing it?"

Cyrus won six surfboard-shaped trophies at the TCAs, two for "Hannah" on TV, two for the "Hannah" movie, music single for "The Climb" and summer song for "Before the Storm." The 11th annual TCAs were held at Universal Studios Hollywood's Gibson Amphitheatre.

Johnny Goes Solo


Former Zero Gravity Bass Player & Vocalist has decided to end his career as Zero Gravity member.

The singer has gone on to record as stated that he is going solo, and already has been approached by Hollywood Records for a 3 year deal.

Johnny claimed that the reason for going solo had been the dispute between the band members.

"I dont wanna live under Cole's shadow. We together formed the band and it was he who took over all, as if he was the leader of us, we never wanted to make a comeback when previously our band was broken, but because of AJ's request Spencer & I agreed to join him but its over now."

Joe Jonas: Valentine's Day Just Got a Little Sweeter


Joe Jonas is moving up the movie-star ladder.

I just got word that Joe is close to joining Hollywood hotshots like Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah in director Garry Marshall's romantic comedy Valentine's Day.

Yup, the same movie that also has appearances by Joe's ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, Twilight star Taylor Lautner and Emma Roberts.

No word on Joe's role, but...

I'm told he will not be playing himself. The film, about intertwining couples and singles living in Los Angeles, started shooting about three weeks ago and is scheduled to wrap in October.

Not sure when Joe will be able to shoot the movie, because the current Jonas Brothers tour has him on the road until at least Thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift may do more than act in Valentine's Day. I'm told she's close to signing a deal to record a song for the movie's soundtrack.

Fashion Face-Off: Angelina Jolie vs. Blake Lively


Today's Fashion Face-Off is actually kinda hard. We have one Michael Kors dress worn two different ways, on a superstar and a Gossip Girl.

First, there's Angelina Jolie in a black leather version of the strapless dress at last night's Inglourious Basterds premiere. Yes, she does this sort of thing a lot, but that's because she always looks awesome in it. She doesn't even need to do anything with her hair or makeup to look so awesome.

And then there's Blake Lively, who blew us away with the same dress in neon pink at the CFDAs...

Not only was this the first time Blake actually got something right, but it was perfect for the 21-year-old—fun, youthful, bold, vibrant...OK, we'll stop now.

We might have to give this round to Blake's neon version—it's just so much more wow. Who do you give the win to?

Is Miley the New Britney–or the Other Way Around?

Hey Answer Bitch, is Miley really the new Britney? Not so sure.—Jefry

I assume you're referring at Miley Cyrus' stripper-pole action at the Teen Choice Awards? Which hearkened vaguely to Britney Spears' stripper-pole action in...well, where do I start? Full disclosure: I could not look directly at the Miley stripper-pole performance for fear of turning to stone, but descriptions from reliable sources indicate that stripper-pole interaction did occur.

Where are these comparisons coming from? Mostly Miley, it seems. But does all this necessarily mean Cyrus is doomed to a future of albino snakes and barefoot trips to the Porta Potti? Well...
Let's take a look at the similarities.

Both have dads who live quite well thanks to their daughters' massive bank accounts and tiny wardrobes. Both performers have strategically tapped into their sweet polka-dotted Southern roots as a way to sell themselves to mainstream audiences. Both have toyed with Lolita-like sexuality, though Britney took credit and responsibility for it, while Miley distanced herself after the fact.

Both have sprouted fully formed out of heads of Disney executives—Spears through the new Mickey Mouse Club and Cyrus via Hannah Montana.

But that may be where the similarities end. In fact, marketing and teen trending experts tell me that by comparing the 16-year-old Cyrus to the 27-year-old Spears, you may actually be levying an insult. At Miley.

"Unlike Britney, Miley Cyrus has a beloved character to fall back on—Hannah Montana," says Megan Bannon, cultural anthropologist at market research agency Rapp Collins Worldwide. "When we analyzed over 6,500 online social mentions of Miley Cyrus posted in the last month, we see that she is very closely associated with Hannah Montana."

In a good way.

According to a popularity measuring tool called the Davie Brown Index (DBI), "Miley is viewed as significantly more trustworthy than Britney within the general population," Davie Brown's Matt Delzell tells me. "I think that speaks highly of Miley, considering Britney is older and is a mother, both factors which tend to increase trust levels."

Plus, Britney was essentially just getting started when she was in her teens. Miley?

"Cyrus, with her music and TV shows and movies, is something Britney Spears never was at that stage of her career: a multimedia superstar with a multigenerational appeal," says branding pro Don Tanner, author of No Static at All.

So the real question is, even though she's a decade older, can Britney ever dream of being the next Miley Cyrus?

Robert Pattinson Allowed at Teen Choice Awards, Vanessa Hudgens Jokes Banned

Yeah, we already know the results of the Teen Choice Awards (what's with this broadcast delay thing?), but we still tuned in just to make sure we didn't miss any of those precious Twilight moments. Just like Fox wanted...what suckers.

Unfortunately, we didn't even get our Robert Pattinson fill. He barely got to speak. Accepting his Choice Male Hottie award with Megan Fox, he tried his best to stutter something nice to the screaming tweens, "I have to say that the hottest hotties—the hottest teens to me are the Twilight fans."

Aww, that's cute of him to try to say. Then when all the Twilight kids gathered 'round onstage to celebrate their 11 prestigious awards, you can guess who did all the talking...

Yep, Taylor Lautner. Sure, he's the only one who can speak in full sentences and doesn't look strung out, but he's not the one we want! What a waste of a Pattz, at least there was backstage dramz to satisfy the Twihards.

In perhaps the smartest move of the night, Fox cut Dane Cook's joke aimed at Vanessa Hudgens and her most recent round of naked pictures. Mostly, this was a relief not because the joke was exceptionally rude to Vanessa (it was) but because it was just terribly unfunny and lame and easy. The crowd even booed him. Of course, his Vanessa comments still exist on the Internet.

Cook later offered this excuse for his joke: "My fans are very young as well, and everybody’s very opinionated. You gotta keep it classy."

Yep, calling out Vanessa Hudgens by name and humiliating her on a show for kids is the classiest. Why is he so awful?

Moving on, Britney Spears did a nice little run-by to pick up her surfboard and then quickly ran away from Miley Cyrus. It was kinda weird. Why so much running?

Oh yeah, we're entirely forgetting about the hosts of this lovely evening of tween culture: the Jonas Brothers. They tried their hardest at sketch comedy with their little "Dare the Jonas Brothers" bits, but not even a Mike Tyson cameo could save them.

Guess this awards show win goes to Miley. Even with a Twilight cast appearance, all anyone can talk about is the 16-year-old's provocative wardrobe choices and stripper pole moves. Or, wait—does that count as a fail for the Disney princess. Whatever the case, here's Miley's full, scandalous performance

Atlanta's Kim: "I Couldn't Breathe. I Couldn't Move."


These Real Housewives of Atlanta ladies won't quit, will they?
It was revealed last week that Kim Zolciak went to the police in April with allegations that NeNe Leakes choked her.
Well, last night, Ms. Kim decided it was time for her to talk to the press about the incident (and distribute her new publicity photos) because NeNe has denied any wrongdoing.
So what the heck is going on now? Keep reading to find out.
Kim says they were about three weeks into shooting the new season when the attack occurred after the two tried to talk out their differences.
"She lunged to me and put both of her hands around my neck and shook me," Kim told me yesterday. "I'm talking, kept both hands around my neck for over a minute. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything."
Kim called the cops and claims the two witnesses on the police incident report who corroborated her story are producers on the reality show. NeNe was already gone by the time the police arrived.
Kim didn't press charges at the time because, she said, she thought maybe NeNe was just having a bad day and "I was just in a bad place at the wrong time, because I know that NeNe does have a good heart underneath all her bulls--t."
But now that she says NeNe is lying about what went down, she's consulting with lawyers about her next move.
A rep for Bravo isn't commenting, but NeNe and Kim did hash some of it out last night on the network's new Watch What Happens: Live, hosted by network exec Andy Cohen.
"This girl is the biggest liar of them all," NeNe said of her former friend. "Kim lies so much its ridiculous."

Twilight Girls Glam It Up; Robsten Keeps It Simple

Sure you've all seen the Twilight girls, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Noot Seear and Rachelle Lefevre (clockwise from top-left, natch), looking gorge in Glamour magazine. Seriously flawless on all four accounts.

Except that we can't help but think why the hell is this Noot chick in there? She's hardly even a second-class Twi castmember! Meanwhile Rachelle is still included, and Kristen Stewart is noticeably absent.

"It was an old shoot," our Twi insiders tell us. Well no s--t. Or else the Rachelle drama would seriously be exaggerated, no?

We still don't get why K.Stew wouldn't be in there, though. Logically speaking she was too busy working on her other projects. Or maybe she just likes to spend all her free time with Robert Pattinson...like she did last night.

More about that:
We've totally snooped the far-away pic of Kristen and Rob supposedly leaving the Bobby Long show in L.A. together last night. While we weren't there, we've heard from many trusting sources that it was most def a Robsten date night. Love it! Hotel Café, where the hotness supposedly went down, played coy on our asses when we tried to check. Who do they think they are, Sienna Miller?

As for those Twitter-conspiracy folks who think the Rob pic was a setup, we have one question for you: Is every paparazzi shot a setup then?

This is how these people make their living (and some a damn good one at that, mind you). by being sneaky and catching these celebs off-guard. Summit would never have order this kind of picture, trust. They would rather have Taylor Lautner in that car than R.Pattz. Hello?

But forget this silliness in convertibles and concerts right now: It's all about Sunday. So the countdown to your public Robsten viewing pleasure at Teen Choice is on! And if we end up having to be more excited about the kinds of rendezvous we've seen the past couple of days (or not) than what goes down Sunday, then, Robsten, you are in deep vampire bat doo-doo.
