How quickly things change: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart drama continues

What a difference one week makes.

Just over one week ago, I was gleefully telling you all about the big Teen Choice Awards, where Twilight stars and sweethearts Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had just thrilled kids everywhere with their appearance. They were all smiles, and rightly so: They had it all.

Apparently, they didn't! Nine days later, I'm sitting here in shock, after news of Kristen Stewart's scandalous affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. No doubt this crushed Robert Pattinson, and now, in a matter of days, everything has changed.

2012 Teen Choice Awards: 'Twilight' wins big

Other winners included, not surprisingly, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift

For anyone who wasn't watching ABC's The Bachelorette season finale, the chances are pretty good that they were watching the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, which wrapped up on FOX just a short time ago. All in all, the show was nothing if not predictable. And yes, it featured plenty of squee-worthy moments to make any teen's heart melt.

The biggest winners of this year's Teen Choice Awards include Twilight, Justin Bieber and of course, Taylor Swift.

Oscar-winning actress Celeste Holm has died.

Legendary actress passed away at age 95.

I hate waking up to bad news, especially when it involves the passing of legendary actors and actresses. Sadly, that's exactly what happened today: Celeste Holm, one of the best and brightest, passed away today in New York.

Celeste Holm, who won a best supporting actress Academy Award for her performance in the 1947 classic movie Gentleman's Agreement, died with her family and friends by her side. Holm was 95 years old.

ABC's 'The Bachelorette': Who should Emily Maynard pick?

We're down to two and this choice is a no-brainer.

I have a confession to make -- a big one. After years of taking such pride in the fact that I don't watch reality TV, I'm....I'm....watching reality TV. There, I said it. It's out there. No taking it back. What am I watching, you ask? ABC's The Bachelorette is my reality TV drug of choice, apparently. I blame summer boredom, and my insatiable need to consume all things pop culture-related. But since I am now watching, and we're nearing the finish line for Emily Maynard, this season's blushing Bachelorette, so make her final choice, I thought I'd weigh in with some of my newfound "expertise."

First off? She screwed up. Emily messed up SO badly when she sent poor Dallas hottie Sean packing this week. Sean was a really good guy, and it was quite evident by the things he said (and the way he acted) after he got the boot. He seemed genuinely heartbroken, but he was a gentleman all the way.

OK, if not Sean, then who should Emily pick as her mate?

Who is the highest paid actor in Hollywood?

Hint: He's in the headlines right now, in a major way.

Forbes magazine is out with its annual list of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, and the name that tops the list isn't surprising at all: it's Tom Cruise. Apparently, Cruise raked in $75 million during a 12-month period, beginning in May of 2011. Given that Cruise has had some huge box office successes in recent years, the fact that he's officially the most highly paid actor is almost a given.

But what about some of the other top A-list actors? Oh, the list includes some biggies, no doubt.
