New Moon Star Ashley Greene: I Can't Live Life Not Enjoying Food
1 hour ago
New Moon hottie Ashley Greene works hard to stay in shape, but insists she doesn't take dieting to an extreme. "I can't live life not enjoying food," says Ashley. Greene and several co-stars, including Robert Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, are in Manhattan this week promoting New Moon. The Florida-born Ashley plays pixie-ish vampire Alice Cullen in the Twilight saga. Because New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn all are far more action-oriented than the original film, Greene took up fight training for her action scenes. New Moon, which co-stars Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed, is in theaters now. »

Adam Lambert Leads His Own Gay Rebellion
4 hours ago
Adam Lambert, left no doubt about where he’s coming from – or where he’s going – after his audacious performance at the American Music Awards Sunday night (Nov. 22). He is an unabashedly gay singer who is determined to flaunt his sexuality in one-man gay rebellion. Lambert not only seems determined to flaunt his sexuality, he appeared determined to make hard-core sadomasochism an element of his act as well, and some fear it played to negative gay stereotypes. During his sexually charged performance, Lambert pranced with a dancer on a leash, pushed another dancer’s face into his crotch simulating oral sex and grabbed his crotch. He also made out with a male band member and flipped his middle finger at the cameras. »
