Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux may marry overseas. A source tells the Sun Times, “It will be run just like a top-secret government operation. I’m betting it will also happen somewhere overseas — where and when you least expect it!”
Justin Theroux gave Jennifer Aniston an 8 carat engagement ring. A source tells Life & Style Weekly, "It's a huge emerald-cut diamond. It's a rectangle with tapered diamond baguettes on the sides. Just after Jen got engaged, she called all her friends and told them about it. She was so happy and said she loves the ring. I think she was overwhelmed and overjoyed by the size and beauty of it!"
Robert Pattinson has agreed to meet with Kristen Stewart. A source tells heat magazine, “Rob needed time to deal with his huge shock and upset, but he’s agreed to face her. He’s back in LA [to promote his new film 'Cosmopolis']. Now he has all his friends around him, he’s started feeling stronger. He’s incredibly hurt, but he still cares about Kristen and is actually worried about how upset she has been. A reconciliation is not on the cards, but they both know they need to thrash things out.”
A source tells RADAR Online, “Just like his devout fans, Kristen tuned into Robert’s interview with Jon Stewart with drawn breath, but after seeing him deflect the questions about her, Kristen’s anxiety soon disappeared and instead she was filled with regret. While she was obviously relieved that Robert didn’t trash her, the realization that their relationship was finally over hit her hard. Kristen was praying that after the dust settled she would get another chance and she was clinging on to that hope. But she knows now that it’s not to be. Instead, she believes that they can now work on a friendship and is desperate to apologize to Robert in person for her affair with Rupert.”
Robert is going to play Lawrence of Arabia in “Queen of the Desert.”
Mel Gibson won't do Lethal Weapon 5. He says, ''No. I think the way things are going with 'Total Recall', they'll just remake those somehow. Though it's really tough to replace Danny. He was so amazing in those things. It was a good gig for us. It worked. But we knew it would. 'I had fun on every one of them and they were lucrative and good to me. And they really afforded me the opportunity to slow down and pick things and do things that really interested me.''
Ellie Goulding loves opera. She says, "It's so funny because my favorite thing to do is imitate opera singers, but I've never had a singing lesson. Oh, I had a lesson just to teach me how to breathe better, but I never really had a singing lesson."
Katy Perry's friends are worried about her dating John Mayer. A source tells the Daily Star, “John has a big reputation as a serial womaniser.

He gets my job and he gets how busy it can get, and he gets the sacrifices that we both have to make with our jobs."
Taylor Swift's songs contain codes. She says, ''It's pretty difficult to come up with, because I know you guys are going to figure them out. With the last album, I thought I was much more clever and cryptic than I really was. [But I'm trying to] hide little codes in lyrics. I tend to kind of skew in the direction of writing songs about love. That's kind of where I naturally go. [These songs are about] really dysfunctional and not good generally relationships. When I'm writing an album, my world becomes a big storyboard. Everyone around me has the potential to be a character.''
Elton John's son, Zachary, loves music. Elton says, “He loves the piano. He sits down and plays it. He doesn’t just bang it, he plays it. He comes out when the stadium is empty and sits down on the piano stool with me. He plays and looks into the microphone.”

That danger zone is ONLY 79 degrees, by the way. The collar will go on sale next year for $20.

--The collar will be on sale early next year for only $20.
SLY OPENS UP ABOUT SON’S DEATH!
Sylvester Stallone yesterday opened up about the death of his son Sage, who passed away July 13th at the age of 36. During an interview with Good Morning America, Sly was asked how he was doing and he replied, “hanging in there.” He added, “It's tough, it's very very tough. But if you have good friends and your family’s support, it's just something that’s a horrible situation but ... hopefully it will heal and you try to get through it but it's something that is a reality in life." Sly, whose new film The Expendables 2 opens Friday, has already jumped back into work, which he says has been helping him. Explained Sly, “It’s important to get back and try to start reliving your life, otherwise you can go into a spiral.” [See yesterday’s About Last Night morning for audio]

Jean-Claude Van Damme admitted in a recent interview that he had an affair with pop star Kylie Minogue while they were filming the 1994 movie Street Fighter. “Let’s just say it happened, so what? Who wants to know,” he told The Guardian, while promoting The Expendables 2. “OK. Yes, yes, yes. It happened. I was in Thailand, we had an affair.” He added, “sweet kiss, beautiful lovemaking. It would have been abnormal not to have had an affair, she’s so beautiful and she was there in front of me every day with a beautiful smile, simpatico, so charming, she wasn’t acting like a big star.” Although it unclear exactly when the fling happened, Jean-Claude married his third wife Darcy LaPier in 1994 so it is possible he cheated on her with Kylie.

LOZADA FILES FOR DIVORCE/ HOPES CHAD SEEKS HELP!
Evelyn Lozada didn’t waste any time ditching her abusive husband Chad Johnson (Ochocinco). Just 41days after tying the knot, and four days after he head-butted her during an argument, Evelyn filed for divorce in Florida, claiming their marriage is “irretrievably broken.” According to the divorce docs, the couple had a prenup. The pair tied the knot on July 4th in St. Marteen. Yesterday Evelyn has made her first comments since Chad’s arrest for domestic violence. “I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me,” she told TMZ, referring to Chad’s claims she was the one who actually did the head-butting during the incident. "It is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well.” And apparently, this isn’t the first time Chad’s been busted for domestic violence. According to TMZ, he was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge back in February of 2000, for allegedly slapping his girlfriend in the face after he accused her of cheating on him. The then-22-year-old Johnson pled no contest and was sentenced to three years probation.
After news of Evelyn’s divorce filing hit the press, Chad issued an apology, “to everyone for the recent events that have occurred.” He wrote on his website, "I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death,” adding, “To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies. I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life."
CHAD CHEATING ON EVELYN FOR MONTHS PRIOR TO WEDDING!
Evelyn Lozada probably never should have married Chad Johnson (Ochocinco). Not only was he arrested Saturday for head-butting her, but Radaronline reports he was actually cheating on her up until they tied the knot in July. A 30-year-old woman named Beverly Shiner tells the site she dated Johnson from January until May of this year, after connecting with him through Twitter. Beverly claims she knew Chad was engaged, but assumed he and Evelyn had split up. She eventually realized Chad was still with Evelyn, but the affair continued. In fact, Beverly claims Chad thought it was okay to cheat, explaining “He said, ‘I’m not doing anything different than what every other man is doing.’”
RASHIDA URGES TRAVOLTA TO COME OUT, THEN APOLOGIZES!
Rashida Jones thinks superstar John Travolta needs to stop living a lie. According to Radaronline, during an interview for her new movie Celeste and Jesse Forever, Rashida mentioned how proud she was of singer Frank Ocean for admitting he was gay. Her writing partner Will McCormack then added “there needs to be, like, a professional athlete that comes out,” at which point Rashida chimed in, “and a movie star! It’s time…like John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this.” Rashida later took to Twitter to apologize to the Pulp Fiction star, writing, “Made a thoughtless comment about John Travolta. I sincerely apologize. Nobody’s personal life is my business.”
Q-Who are Rashida Jones’ famous parents? Music producer Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton

Charlie Sheen is back on Twitter. The Anger Management star deactivated his account back in July, claiming he didn’t feel like he was getting anything out of it, but now TMZ reports he’s decided to come back. According to a source, Charlie, “misses interacting with his fans…and really wants to talk to them about important things in life.” The insider claims that Charlie plans to keep his tweeting “professional.” In other words…boring.

WEINSTEIN TAKES OUT RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST STALKER!
Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and Sheryl Crow share a stalker. TMZ reports that Weinstein has obtained a restraining order against Phil Sparks, the homeless man who Crow also took out a restraining order against earlier this year. Sparks believes Weinstein and Crow have teamed up to ruin his life, believing they “robbed” him, spied on him and had him blacklisted from Hollywood. In court papers, Weinstein says he never met his stalker, but Sparks is bent on revenge, and contacted the Screen Actors Guild last month threatening to “shoot” both him and Crow. As was the case with Crow, the judge believed Weinstein and issued a temporary restraining order against Sparks. The judge also extended Crow's restraining order to three years, forcing him to stay 300 yards away from the star.
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNERS URGE NBC TO PULL STARS EARN STRIPES!
Archbishop Desmond Tutu and eight other Nobel Peace Prize winners are protesting the new NBC series Stars Earn Stripes, which premiered Monday. The group sent an open letter to the network urging them to pull the show, in which celebrities participate in simulated military challenges. The group claims it glorifies war and armed violence. NBC says the show “pays homage to the men and women who serve in the U.S. armed forces and our first responder services,” but the group argues “the program pays homage to no one anywhere,” adding that it is “trying to somehow sanitize war by likening it to an athletic competition.” NBC has responded by saying Stars Earn Stripes is “about thanking the young Americans who are in harm’s way every day,” adding, “This show is not a glorification of war, but a glorification of service.”
Q-One of the participants on Stars Earn Stripes is the husband of what former Vice Presidential candidate? Sarah Palin (her husband Todd is on the show)
