Dear Ted:
What the hell is going on? Recently, Kristen Stewart went out with Tom Sturridge to a concert without Robert Pattinson. Then, she went to Canada to film her new movie, On the Road. At that time, Tom went missing. Now, Tom and Kristen are photographed together in Canada. I repeat, what the hell is going on—Tomsten?
—Stacy
Dear Canuck Upchuck:
First of all, have we mentioned lately how much we heart TomStu? Adorable, don’t you think? Hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of him soon (and with what we hear from some big-wig studio execs, we’re sure we will). But jeez, Tomsten are pals after all, with or without Rob. You all are taking it the wrong way. If there was trouble with Pattinson and Stewart, surely Rob’s BFF wouldn’t be hanging with Kristen. Follow? Can’t a friend visit a friend without starting a storm of rumors?
Dear Ted:
Hey, Ted, f–k you. What did William Fichtner ever do to you to make you insult him like that? Asshole.
—X
Dear Diane?
Umm, saying he could genetically be related to R.Pattz is hardly an insult. We just don’t find W.F. salacious enough for our liking.
Dear Ted:
I always get a bit of a bad vibe whenever I see Ryan Reynolds—don’t trust him or his “relationship” with ScarJo one bit. What’s the deal with this guy? Any thoughts?
—Claudia

Dear ScarJo No-No:
The guy is drop-dead gorge and has a body like an Adonis, of course he’s got some secrets in his closet. But even considering that, his marriage to the blond bombshell is solid…for now.
Dear Ted:
Am I the only one who’s noticed Juliette Lewis is in Jennifer Aniston’s new movie The Switch? Oh, the irony! The casting director must have a wicked sense of humor to put both those independence-loving, ex-Brad Pitt gals in a movie about baby making.
—Mels
Dear Ex-Factor:
Funny thing is, neither of ‘em care, either!
Dear Ted:
Could Moisty be Hugh Hefner?
—La Joe
Dear C’mon:
That’s your best guess? What at all would be shocking about Heffy bedding sleezy bimbos?
Dear Ted:
I’m a little surprised that with your love of the boys from across the pond that you have never written about Aaron Johnson. This dude is seriously smokin’ hot. He’s wonderfully awkward in interviews, and his love life is totally gossip-worthy. I guess we could call him a DILF. So for this longtime reader and huge fan, any scoop? Did I mention how smokin’ he is?
—S
Dear Pond Hopper:
I do love me those Brit boys, that much is true. And while I thought A.J. was totally hot in Kick-Ass, I’m just not sold on his personality yet. And yes, S, I do care about personality. How’s that for a shocker today?
Dear Ted:
Have you ever thought of doing the six degrees of separation using Blind Vices? I have a feeling a lot of them run in the same circles.
—Zeppy
Dear Kevin Bacon:
Hell, most of ‘em are less than six. I’m thinking in the two-to-three degrees range.
Dear Ted:
Why is James Franco single? I just don’t get it. He’s funny, intelligent, works hard on everything he puts his fingers on and has an open mind that could enlighten many. Oh, and he’s hot hot hot. Please provide some insight—and a hint to what his B.V. is.
—U
Dear Living Single:
Single? Haven’t heard he’s cut ties with longtime GF Ahna O’ Reilly. They don’t exactly have a conventional relaysh since James is mostly work, work, work. As for his B.V., well, he’s not so alone when it comes to that either.
Dear Ted:
Why do Gossip Girl producers let Taylor Momsen keep her raccoon-eyed look on the show? It’s not very Jenny Humphry if you ask me, and she didn’t look like that the first season. It drives me crazy! Also, do you think the whole cast is still as close as they claimed to be when the first season was out?
—CM
Dear Black-Eyed P.O.’d:
Can’t say why anyone would even want to rock the “raccoon-eyed” look in the first place, so not attractive. As for whether the cast gets along now, I’d say on the whole, they’re at least cordial. Everyone kind of does their own thing. Though, Taylor and Jessica Szohr are fairing the worst, obviously.
Dear Ted:
Has Terry Tush-Trade ever had an intimate relationship with another female castmember of the Twilight series?
—BB
Dear Duh:
Haven’t you read Terr’s Blind Vices? TTT has had relationships with women and men on the Twi set.
Dear Ted:
Angelina Jolie
is beat up in the press for years for “stealing” Brad Pitt. Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz had a very similar situation, and she has a perfect reputation. You can’t tell me Alicia isn’t famous. So, is it a race thing, a media thing, or is it a Jen-Aniston-makes-such-a-good-victim thing?
—XXOO
Dear Homewrecker:
Good point. Sure she may be famous, but does anyone really care about Alicia Keys? Point is, she’s hardly as famous or infamous as Jolie.
Dear Ted:
I see that many of your loyal fans are writing their suggestions for the lucky starlet to play Lisbeth in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Well here’s mine…Jenna Malone? Angsty, totally hot, knows her way around indie films, and can actually act. What say you?
—Lo
Dear Tattooed Lady:
One of the better suggestions I’ve heard, L. And may I just add that I’m way excited for Sucker Punch? Looks like a ton of fun, and who doesn’t love girls kicking some serious ass? Heck, I’m even excited to see Vanessa Hudgens in it.
Dear Ted:
I always thought Michael Arangano was a douche long before shipping Kristen with Rob was a hobby of mine. Unfair of me to think so? Or is my douche-dar accurate?
—T-Bag

Dear Ex-Post-Dissing:
Way unfair! What did poor Michael ever do to you? Or us really…we just like Rob better.
Dear Ted:
Did you see the article from Emma Thompson who said that Audrey Hepburn couldn’t act and only men liked her. I think this is going to be death for her career. What do you think?
—B
Dear Opinions Are Like Assholes:
Freedom of speech, right? Everyone is entitled to their opinions, whether idiotic (which it was) or not. But trust, this won’t be the end of her career—not by a long shot. Sorry, B.
Dear Ted:
So sorry if you’ve heard this question a zillion times: I know you’ve said Toothy Tile is aware of his Toothy-ness, but are any of the other B.V.s aware, and if so, are they defensive about it? Do they try to get you to stop writing about them, or is that too much of an admission of “guilt”? If you are able to share, I am wondering which B.V.s are the most skittish about people finding out about them?
—Michelle
Dear Not So Blind:
Oh yes. I’ve had at least a couple celebs, or their people, natch, call me up and demand I cease and desist. And the kicker is a lot of time the handlers are wrong! Just makes me want to write about them more!

Love Ted? Follow @theawfultruth on Twitter.

Dear Ted:
Just wondering, have you seen Alexander Skarsg

Dear Ted:
Have you seen the latest Jackles video posted from the Supernatural set? It’s all about how they’re not on any social networking sites, but I don’t care about that! I want to know if they’re all right—they were both looking mighty rundown in that video. Is it the engagement stress getting to them or is it something else? Please reassure me!
Melissa
Dear Superfan:
The utterly adorable Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki—who play bros so well on Supernatural—indeed, do not look terribly hap-happy in their vid. It was made, of course, so Jackles could insist all those Twitterers and such pretending to be them are fake. Robsten should so do this! Point is, these boys hardly look like bachelors who are ecstatic to be walking down the aisle shortly. Uh, why’s that? Personally, I think the hot dudes should join the Twitterverse ASAP and start following @danneelharris, bitch makes me chuckle like nobody can!
Dear Ted:
I usually don’t pay attention to all the outlandish “scoops” the tabs print (I prefer to take your word for things), but what’s going on with them all claiming the same thing: Not only are Brad and Angie over, but that he’s coveting Jen again? It seems pretty unlikely, given how much time has passed and what he did to her, but if you remember, the tabs were crazy all over Brangelina, during their conception when he was still with Jen. It was labeled a rumor at the time, but proved to be so very true! Is it the same this time around, maybe, or are they just adding Aniston in the mix to sell mags?
Just Wondering

Dear Troubled Triangle:
Brad’s swapping of good-girl Jen for badass Angie was one of the biggest romance bombs to hit Hollywood, so it’s not surprising the tabloids are still gripping at nothing to keep this triangle together. So, I would take it all with a grain of very delicious tabloid salt. Jen has put old-man Brad and homewrecking Angie in her past and there’s no way she’s going back for round two.
Now, if she could just start dressing like she’s moved on, everybody wins!
Dear Ted:
Is the rumor about Rob Pattinson’s mother wanting him to get Kristen Stewart pregnant true?
John
Dear Baby-Mama Drama:
Hold off on the baby-bump watch—Kristen and Rob are both focusing on their booming movie careers and are happy to leave the diaper changing duties to their Twilight alter egos. For now, at least.
Dear Ted:
I am new to your site and maybe a bit naive, but does a Blind Vice mean that the person in question is a closeted homosexual?
New Girl
Dear Fresh Meat:
A Blind Vice can definitely be about certain Hollywood hunks who secretly get it on with other hunks, but it can also be any down ‘n’ dirty dish the celebs don’t want you to know, be it drugs, sex, backstabbing or booger-picking.
Dear Ted:
Which celebrities are the most misconstrued? Such as, which Goody Two-shoes is trouble, and which troubled star is actually better off than we think? Love ya!
Erica
Dear The Real Deal:
I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone in Hollywood is not quite as perfect as they (or their publicists) would like you to believe. If they were, there wouldn’t be any need for Blind Vices, would there? I think it’s also safe to say those stars who appear troubled (I’m looking at you, Lohan) are just as much of a hot mess as they appear to be. Joaquin, too, recent clean-up be damed.
Dear Ted:
What’s going on here? We haven’t had big news about Robsten for too long! Come on, you met Kristen at Sundance, I know that you know something! Lately you left some little clues, but nothing very big. I hope Summit has nothing to do with your decreasing news. We need you! I’m ready to fight for your press freedom!
Ilaria
Dear Conspiracy Theorist:
Don’t worry about me—Summit could never keep my lips sealed when it comes to my fave couple, but between Sundance and the Help for Haiti telethon, Rob and Kristen have both been crazy busy doing their own things lately. It won’t last, though.
Dear Ted:
I just want to comment that your coverage of Robsten is shamefully the best! I’m a closet Robsten fan (I think it stems from my love of the books and Edward-Bella romance). Keep up the dirty…I mean, good…work!
Robsten Enthusiast
Dear Come Out of the Closet:
There’s no shame in loving Robsten! Two of the sexiest young stars in Hollywood starting a sizzling romance? Who wouldn’t be a fan?
Dear Ted:
Is Jennifer Aniston laughing as loudly as the rest of us? Karma—what comes around goes around!
Gino
Dear Ying and Yang:
Ms. A has been over the love triangle for a while, so why bother getting in a cheap laugh when she’s looking supersexy—if unnecessarily sluttylicious—on the red carpet while the formerly hot Brangelina are looking more haggard than ever? Other than Angie ditching Brad for Jon Gosselin, that’s the sweetest revenge of all, isn’t it?

Dear Ted:
Thank you so much for always (almost) answering my Q’s! So tell me this, what is Reese’s next move going to be? Finding genuine romance or sticking to good old fauxmance? P.S.: Do some of your E! colleagues ever actually read this section? Some of them said Gyllenspoon’s split came as a “shock!” Puh-leeze!
D
Dear Looking Forward:
If I know Reese (and I do), she’ll be back in the red-carpet-ready romance saddle in no time. R.W.’s still clinging to that America’s Sweetheart image and she needs a somewhat innocent-looking stud by her side to make it work. As for the Gyllenspoon shock? Everyone’s got their own opinions, but I was about as shocked as when Adam Lambert came out of the not-so-deep closet.
Dear Ted:
I gotta hand it to you. You found one

Bitch-Back! Give Us Nelly Fang!

Dear Ted:
Is Nelly Fang David Boreanez?
