Robert Pattinson reads the tabloid stories about himself. He tells the Sun Times, “Yeah, I read it. It’s my life. You sort of want to read it. You feel like you need to read it. It’s one of those things where you keep picking the scab. You know you shouldn’t be doing it. But it’s a weird kind of addiction. You desperately want to stop.”

Jennifer Aniston is worth $120 million and is working on a pre-nup with Justin Theroux. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Jen is determined to protect her fortune in the event that they split. She’s working feverishly with her lawyers to hash out the pre-nup so she and Justin can marry by the end of the year. Then they plan to start adoption proceedings so they can bring home a baby in 2013.”

Kristen Stewart is jealous of Jennifer Lawrence. A source tells RADAR Online, “Kristen is obviously down about what happened with her and Robert Pattinson, but she was thrilled when she found out she beat Jennifer Lawrence to a movie role. She is insanely jealous of Jennifer, not just because she feels The Hunger Games has stolen some of Twilight’s thunder, but because everyone was talking about her as such a beautiful actress. Kristen has never been comfortable in her own skin and feels threatened by Jennifer’s good looks. And the thing with Jennifer is, she isn’t just attractive, she’s a talented actor. Jennifer’s a threat to Kristen, she’s only a year younger, so chances are they will continue to battle it out for the same movie roles. The pair of them are very competitive too; they won’t give up any future roles without a fight.”

Chris Brown was affected by the clip of Rihanna being interviewed by Oprah. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Chris saw the video clip. Of course he saw it, how do you think he feels? He feels horrible he did that. Watching [Rihanna's interview with Oprah] made him realize he made a big mistake and he’s been paying for it ever since. He’s working hard, in the studio, dancing, doing everything he can to rebuild his name and career and I think he been successful in doing all that. Y’all should be talking about his road to recovery and how he’s been a man and made s–t right. He and Ri are cool, more cool than anyone will know. She forgave the [boy] the minute that s–t went down, so what that say about their relationship?”

A source tells RADAR Online, "Chris is just confused about Rihanna's decision to bring up the past again and again — this time in an interview with Oprah. Rihanna has previously given wide ranging interviews about the beating to Diane Sawyer and several print magazines. Chris just doesn't think it's productive or relevant to rehash the events since essentially nothing new is being revealed in the interview Rihanna has done with Oprah. Chris doesn't begrudge Rihanna at all for talking about it but he thinks that in order for them to both move forward and not be defined by that one night, it would be better to stop bringing it up."

Justin Bieber recently caught a fan hiding in his trash. He says, "I don't like giving too much personal information about where I live and the cars I drive...

I've had people hiding in garbage cans overnight to catch pictures of me. Crazy things happen

KIM EXHAUSTED BUT CONFIDENT SHE’LL WIN DIVORCE WAR!

Kim Kardashian’s divorce saga is getting to her. Sources tell TMZ she is “emotionally exhausted” from her battle with Kris Humphries, who she describes as a “cancer.”  Kris is still trying to prove Kim committed fraud, but Kim doesn’t seem concerned he’ll succeed. In fact, she says she has video proof he knew exactly what he was getting into. Kim told friends that as the marriage began to fail, “he told our producers he would destroy my career and me if the show wasn’t edited right.” She also says outtakes from Keeping Up with the Kardashians paint the Brooklyn Nets star as a “manipulative, vindictive, petty, fame-hungry jerk.” Explained Kim, “It’s all on camera and it’s going to backfire in his face.”

ROKER’S DIG AT LAUER!

Talk about an awkward moment. A seemingly innocuous comment from Al Roker on the Today show yesterday apparently struck a nerve with the folks at NBC. During an interview with the U.S. Women’s Olympic Rowing team it was revealed that it is a tradition to throw a teammate into the water after winning a race. Host Matt Lauer then joked, “The tradition here in New York is you throw her in the Hudson River.” But after Lauer had already thanked the ladies for their appearance, Roker chimed in saying, “Which is different than our tradition…which is you throw one of us under the bus, but that’s another story.” Of course, the internet was abuzz, suggesting Roker’s comment was referring to Ann Curry’s recent firing, which Matt allegedly had a hand in. NBC must have known that was what everyone was thinking, because they have since cut the clip from the video on their website.

Q-Roker is married to a fellow journalist, who currently works for ABC News. What is her name? Deborah Roberts

R-PATZ FANS BOO KRISTEN QUESTIONS!

Robert Pattinson’s fans don’t want to see him suffer through questions about Kristen Stewart (although you know they really want to hear what he has to say). During a Times Talk earlier this week to promote Cosmopolis, New York Times writer David Carr tried to bring up his  relationship troubles, comparing the couple’s drama to “Charles and Diana,” but the audience would have none of it. While Robert did respond, saying, “I wouldn’t go that far,” the inquiry was met with a round of boos, with one admirer screaming out “next question.”   R-Patz did eventually explain why he thinks the public is so obsessed with celebrities, saying, “I think it’s because America really wants to have a royal family. They want to pick their king and queen.”

STEWART THINKS SHE’S BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY!

Kristen Stewart is not happy. According to TMZ, the Twilight star doesn’t understand why she’s getting most of the blame for her affair, while her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders seems to have gotten off easy.  Insiders say the 22-year-old Kristen feels Sanders, who is 19 years older, was in a “position of power over her,” and so he deserves more public scrutiny than he’s gotten. She also feels like the scandal has irreparably damaged her career.

Q-Kristen’s upcoming non-Twilight movie is based on what Jack Kerouac cult classic? On The Road (it opens December 21^st)

RIHANNA WORRIED ABOUT CHRIS AFTER ASSAULT!

Rihanna says she felt bad for Chris Brown following his assault on her back in 2009. "It was a weird, confusing space to be in, because as angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help," she explains on Oprah’s Next Chapter, airing Sunday. "And like who's gonna help him? Nobody's gonna say he needs help. Everybody's gonna say he's a monster without looking at the source. And I was more concerned about him."   Rihanna said she “lost (her) best friend,” that night, adding, “everything I knew switched in a night. And I couldn't control that, so I had to deal with that, and that's not easy for me to understand or interpret and it's not easy to interpret on camera, not with the world watching.”
