As you know,  Taylor Lautner has broken up with his "Abduction" co-star, Lily
Collins. According to E!, apparently, the romance lost its luster when Collins
went to Canada to shoot "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White" in which she plays...
Snow White.  A source says that Taylor really wasn't into it and wouldn't even
visit her on the set. They've been broken up for about three months, even though
the news only just hit the press. She's already dating other guys.

Jennifer Aniston dropped $450,000 for an abstract painting at the "Artists for
Haiti" auction.  The painting "Stranger #44," was estimated to be worth between
$150,000 and $200,000. Aniston's boyfriend, filmmaker Justin Theroux, did the
bidding on her behalf with Aniston "clapping enthusiastically" when Theroux made
his winning bid. The 72" by 60" painting is an abstract work of oil, charcoal
and graphite on canvas. Lidon donated the piece for the "Artists for Haiti"
auction, which was organized by Ben Stiller.

Lady Gaga dedicated her song, "Hair" to Jamey Rodemeyer, the 14-year-old Gaga
fan who committed suicide last week after being tormented at school for his
sexual orientation. "We lost a Little Monster this week," Gaga said, displaying
a video of Jamey. Before ending his life, Jamey wrote to Gaga. "@LadyGaga Bye,
Mother Monster. Thank you for all you have done, paws up forever," he tweeted.
During the song, an emotional Gaga turned to the crowd and said, "Bullying is
for losers." She's vowed to meet with the president to establish anti-bullying
laws.

Justin Bieber turned into Mr. Romantic on Friday when he took girlfriend Selena
Gomez to attend Demi Lovato's concert at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los
Angeles.  TMZ reports that after the concert, the two headed through an
underground passage to L.A.'s biggest sports arena, the Staples Center. Though
Staples Center seats up to 20,000 fans for concerts, that night it was only the
two lovebirds and a screening of the movie, "Titanic".

Actor Mark Hamill turned 60 over the weekend.  Hamill famously played
Luke Skywalker in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.  Hamill will appear in the
"Chuck" final season premiere where he'll play Jean-Claude, a wealthy thief.

Sly Stone, who used to be one of the biggest names in sould music, reportedly
now lives in a white van he parks in the rough Crenshaw neighborhood of Los
Angeles. TMZ is reporting that Stone befriended a local family and showers at
their house. Their son serves as his assistant and driver. Stone says that he
likes his camper and never wants to go back to living in a house that doesn't
have wheels adding that he can't stand being in one place. He says his money
troubles started in 2009 when he stopped receiving royalty checks from his
manager, whom he had accused of fraud. He sued the manager for $50 million.
Stone also foolishly sold his music publishing rights to Michael Jackson for
just $1 million in 1984. He says the FBI is after him and his enemies have hired
hit men. For now, Stone says he is recording music on his laptop.

Hilary Duff is trying to sell the mansion she bought with all her "Lizzie
McGuire" money.  She's asking $6.25 million for her Toluca Lake 9,277 square
foot mansion.  The home contains five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a cognac room,
billiard room, wine cellar, game room, gym, and pool.

"True Blood" star Joe Manganiello will make an appearance in the October 24th
episode of "Two and a Half Men". He’ll play the hot boyfriend of Waldon's ex,
Bridget.

Actor, William Baldwin reportedly pulled some strings to get his wife Chyna
Phillips on this season of "Dancing With The Stars".  Baldwin hopes that the
show will help revitalize her singing career.

Here we go again....it appears that Jesse James and Kat Von D. have called it
quits...again! "I am not in a relationship," Kat said in a post on her Facebook
page on Saturday. "And I apologize for all the 'back and forth' if it's caused
any confusion." The couple called off their engagement in July. A month later,
Von D's reality show L.A. Ink was canceled but the couple was back together. It
appears that the relationship suffered from being long distance. While Jesse
lives in Texas, Kat refused to leave Los Angeles and her tattoo shop. Von D
says: "I wish Jesse nothing but the best in life and in love," she says.
