KRISTEN Stewart hates it when people speculate about her romance with her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson.
The actress — who’s widely rumored to be dating the hunky British star — admits she has become “really close” to Rob and doesn’t want anyone “debasing” their relationship.
Asked during a recent interview if she wants to clear up her relationship with Rob, Kristen replied, “No, I don’t.
“I just can say that with Twilight we all have become really close and what people say about us ends up debasing our relationships”
The interviewer then asked, “So are you telling me you are just good friends?”
“No,” Kristen replied, “that’s not what I said”
Stewart, 19, recently revealed how she bonded with Dakota Fanning while the pair filmed their new movie The Runaways.
“Working this closely with someone, you can’t help but really become bonded with them and it really helps when you actually like them and can become really good friends,” she said earlier this week.
“I haven’t really done a lot of movies with people close to my own age to have a good friend like that. So I was excited, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it with.”
ABBIE Cornish has praised Madonna for her “strong, independent” attitude.
The actress is delighted to be working with the 51-year-old pop legend on forthcoming historical movie W.E. — which the 4 Minutes singer is writing and directing — and is very impressed by the star’s focus.
“Madonna is a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a man to define her — and that’s admirable,” said Cornish.
Abbie was particularly impressed by the historical knowledge that Madonna — whose recent forays into the movie business have been disastrous — displayed when writing the film, which examines the relationship between former British monarch King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
“She’s studied every aspect of what happened with Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII,” said the 27-year-old.
“It’s a fascinating insight into class and romance. Madonna’s created a contemporary woman — who I will play –- called Wally, who is fascinated by what happened to Mrs. Simpson.”
Earlier this week, Vera Farmiga – who will play Wallis Simpson in the film — admitted she was delighted to be asked to appear in the movie.
“Madonna approached me,” Vera gushed. “We sat for a cup of tea and again for a cup of tea. Hopefully, it will all come together. I’m actually not familiar with her work, and I told her this flat-out. She sent a couple of films and I still haven’t seen them.
“But no matter. I don’t really go by that. I go by other things. I go by scripts. I go with what I think I can do with a character and if I feel a kinetic energy with someone and I feel we can uplift and challenge each other.”
ROCKER Sir Elton John has revealed an ex-lover of his committed suicide.
The pop star was left devastated by the death of his lover who hurled himself under an oncoming vehicle and admits the tragedy still affects him now.
Elton and his husband David Furnish are among several producers of new Broadway play Next Fall — which focuses on a relationship between two gay men which is turned upside down by a serious accident — and the Rocket Man singer admits it was his own painful personal experience which motivated him to get involved with the project.
“David saw it several times. I read it several times,” Elton told the New York Post newspaper. “There is some of us in it. Years back I had a relationship, and I had absolutely no idea in the world he was going to do this… he threw himself under a truck. There was so much grief.
“Look, we all need love. We all have the same fears and insecurities. We should all be allowed to be free.”
The play’s storyline follows the five-year relationship between devout Christian Luke and committed atheist Adam, when Luke is seriously injured Adam has to turn to his partner’s homophobic parents for support.
David thinks the play’s message has never been more poignant following the ongoing developments regarding gay rights in the US, which include Proposition 8 the constitutional amendment passed in California in 2008 which outlawed same sex marriages in the state.
“It’s the right timing for this,” David said. “The religious divide between right and left has gotten wider, and so the rights of gay people never got back to where it was heading.”
Next Fall opened this past Thursday at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York and both Elton and David were present.
JESSICA Simpson is fine with her single status.
The singer/actress — who is divorced from singer Nick Lachey and has previously dated sportsman Tony Romo and musician John Mayer — says she’s happy without a boyfriend.
“I’m single,” Jessica told E! News. “I am OK being single. I’m flirtatious and single.”
The 29-year-old then addressed rumors she’s dating Smashing Pumpkins star Billy Corgan.
“Billy is a dear dear friend of mine,” Jessica insisted. “If I am going through a hard time I definitely would talk to Billy. He always has the best words.”
AMANDA Seyfried put pen to paper for her role in movie Dear John – she wrote a song which appeared on the film’s soundtrack.
The actress — who proved her musical credentials in the movie-musical Mamma Mia! — says she was over the moon when Dear John director Lasse Hallstrom asked her to bring her guitar on set to write a song for the film, which culminated in the track, Little House, being included on the soundtrack.
“It was a happy accident,” Amanda told British Glamour. “The director asked me to bring my guitar on set and I ended up singing a song that I’d written, which ended up on the soundtrack.
“Writing songs is a stress-buster for me.”
Amanda recently admitted it felt “unnatural” shooting sex scenes for her new movie Chloe.
“It was unnatural — I say that with a grin,” said the star, who is currently dating British actor Dominic Cooper.
“Seriously, it is not the type of scene any actor is ever comfortable doing. Any kind of intimacy is strange. It is not your partner; it’s the actor or actress.
“I don’t know what goes through my mind when I do these scenes. I am listening to Atom’s technical directions, because things need to be in sync with the camera’s movement.”
MARIAH Carey’s husband is planning to make a movie about his superstar spouse.
Singer/actor Nick Cannon — who wed the singer in a secret ceremony two years ago — says Mariah is the funniest person he knows and he would love for them to show off her comedic talents in a joint venture.
“I’d love to do a film with Mariah,” said Cannon. “But it would have to be a comedy. She’s the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time.”
Mariah’s most recent big screen outing was as a dowdy social worker in the critically-acclaimed movie Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire and she admits she felt “tortured” by the role, although she believes it has made her a better person.
“It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad,” she said. “I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he’s a sick man. He wanted to torture me.
“But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don’t worry about certain things in the same way any more.”
JENNIFER Lopez insists her family is more important to her than a successful career.
The Do It Well hitmaker — who raises twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony — has enjoyed spending time away from the limelight and thinks it has helped her realize what’s important to her.
“I think you have to know what is most important to you,” she said. “And I think you have to realize that as much as you put into work, you have to put into your relationship and your children — but more so. That is how you balance it.
“For me, my family is the most important thing and everything else comes after that. It is hard to do everything, but you just have to. You have to make that effort.
“I have put so much time into my career in the past, so much time trying to get ahead and all that. But you have to do as much and then more for your home life too.
“I try to spend all my free time with Marc and the babies. It’s all a learning curve really.
“The last year has been an amazing time for us, me and Marc. I just wish I could be in two places at once. I would rather be at home now with my babies if I could be.”
CAREY Mulligan feels old.
The An Education actress — who is currently dating actor Shia LaBeouf — admits her work and life experiences make her seem much older than her 24 years, though she is still a teenager at heart.
“I think I feel older,” she said. “You meet a lot of people much older, one of my closest friends in an actor called Denis Lawson who is in his fifties. I met him when I was 20 on Bleak House and we are bonded by an experience and so yes, in some ways I feel older but in some ways I feel like a 13 year old.
“But also, I’ve been working, I have a career, I’ve bought my own flat, I have a mortgage — so sometimes I feel annoyingly grown up and I don’t want to be but most of the time I feel 12.”
The Public Enemies actress also admitted she won’t carry on acting forever.
“I have always wanted to keep going for as long as I want to but then I will stop if I get bored or if I get frustrated or tired — but I don’t feel it,” she said.
CAMERON Diaz was over the moon to learn she’d be starring in a movie with her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
The former couple are set to appear together in upcoming film Bad Teacher — and Diaz can’t wait to reunite with her former flame on the big screen.
“They’ve been apart for years, but they stayed friends and the friendship has only gotten better over time,” a source told Fox News.
“Cameron loved Justin and they were always trying to come up with some project they could do together beyond Shrek.
“She is very happy that Bad Teacher worked out — Cameron was gunning for Justin to be in it with her and she had some influence over the choice.”
Cameron, the source added, “has been going through ups and downs lately between films and Justin’s hiring made her feel better.
“Cameron loves working and now she gets to go to work with someone who knows her as well as her closest friends. It’s a treat and she’s already laughing.”
But it’s unlikely that Justin — who’s currently dating actress Jessica Biel – will rekindle his romance with Cameron.
“Justin has no intention of cheating on Jessica with Cameron,” the source said. “He and Cam are strictly friends. Justin and Jessica have worked hard to get past a lot of turmoil in their relationship and they are in a great place. He is making it clear that he is thrilled to be working with Cam again, but that’s where the line is drawn.
“Jessica says she has no reservations about the movie. She knows that Cameron and Justin have great comedy chemistry – Justin has it with everyone he’s close to. He can make anyone laugh at the drop of a hat.”
HEIDI Klum just throws on a hat when she’s having a bad hair day.
“I have had many hair nightmares,” said the German supermodel. “But it’s very easy for someone with long hair, you just put it in a bun or put a cute hat on.”
And how does she maintain that youthful complexion? “My skin care routine is very easy,” Klum insisted. “I wash my face religiously.
“When you wear a lot of make-up like I do it’s so important to really, super-clean your face so your pores are open.”
Heidi, 36, recently revealed that she loves giving her husband Seal private fashion shows.
“I love dressing up for him and putting on all the jewelery he gives me,” said the mother of four. “It is such fun!”
