Weight Watchers: UK Paintball has become a hot fitness class. A company rep says, ''Often all people need to start an exercise regime is a little encouragement, and what better motivation is there than being shot at? Participants will be given little protection from the paintballs with most obstacles on the course being removed to keep the woodland runners on their toes. There will be several shooters in place and so it’s unlikely any of those involved will be in a safe area for too long, which, combined with wanting to avoid getting hit, should result in a lot of running around, shedding hundreds of calories in the process. Getting hit by a paintball can really sting and so I’m sure anyone who takes a shot will be even keener to avoid the next one, which will hopefully enable them to burn even more calories.''

He loves her very much.” Another source says, “He’s putty in her hands. Once they’re on the Breaking Dawn Part 2 press tour, it will be hard for him to resist getting back together with her.”

A source tells NOW magazine, Kristen is looking to meet with Rob at the place they reportedly once described as their ideal wedding destination — hoping they can talk and try to save their relationship. She wants him to meet her there next week to talk. It seems he’ll relent – she’s still his world.”

A source tells InTouch Weekly, “He’s been drunk dialing Kristen. Rob had been avoiding her calls, but now they’re talking … well, they’re barely talking.”

Kristen Stewart is stressing because of her breakup with Robert Pattinson. A source tells the Star, “She is a complete mess. She’s torturing herself by constantly reading the nasty stuff being written about her. Her stomach is so knotted up that she has no interest in food, and she hasn’t had a full night’s sleep since this nightmare began. And she’s said some pretty crazy things lately, like how she’ll die if he doesn’t take her back or how no one would care if she disappeared off the face of the earth. It all sounds like a cry for help.”

Jennifer Aniston wants to end her feud with Angelina Jolie. A source tells US Weekly, “Jen recently contemplated having her people call Angelina’s team to arrange a photo op for them just to put the rumors that they hate each other to rest.” Jen's rep denies the story.

You can’t look for the next Rolling Stones because the next Rolling Stones don’t exist. I don’t really think that can exist any more. There was a sort of purity to it that existed back then which I think is for ever lost. There’s no way to get that back. People get very nostalgic but that will never happen again."
