Entertainment Dish

There are far more celebrities in need of an actual intervention, but anything that helps put some distance between these two works for us!

No one has seen much of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together since the end of their New Moon promotional orgy, but sources did catch a glimpse of the two spending time together in England right around New Years.

But that’s it. There has been nothing since then and now we know why: They’ve been told not to!

According to sources, each of the actor’s camps has approached them about cutting back on the time spent with the other. Rob has big budget movies to focus on and KStew has indie flicks to sell. Their people believe neither has time to focus on anything else but their work, so for the time being, they are going to have to quit one another.

Can R-Patz handle that? (We’re not too worried about KStew. She’s black-hearted. She’ll be fine)

Guess they’ll just have to hold on until Eclipse comes out. Then, the world can see it’s favorite vampire and sour pussy frolicking about again.

Justin Mentell, an actor who worked on Boston Legal and family movie G-Force, has been found dead after crashing his Jeep near Madison, Wis., according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

According to the sheriffs department, Justin went down a steep embankment and hit two trees after veering off a local highway. A passerby spotted the car around 8:30 a.m. Monday. He was found near the crashed vehicle in a rural area.

Justin was originally from Waukegan, Ill. He was 27 years old.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Justin.

May he rest in peace.

Britney Spears showed up to the the 52nd Annual Grammys where she arrived wearing some sort of pants-free thing.

What in the world would posses this girl to wear something that makes her look as crazy as everyone thinks she is.

[HMG] – About an hour from Belgrade, in the heart of the Serbian mountains lies one of Eastern Europe’s most wonderful gems. Kustendorf. A town built from scratch by a film director with vision. And this week it starred Johnny Depp.

The 46-year old actor arrived in this picturesque town in the heart of the Balkans, by helicopter. An event regarded by locals [who clearly don't get out much] with the kind of awe most folk would reserve for the second coming itself.

He emerged from the craft and mingled with fans, showing no hint of a ’superstar’ ego, and was greeted in return like a conquering hero.

Every year, Kustendorf holds a film festival, dedicated to ‘Small people and their small films.’ In 1993, Johnny starred in ‘Arizona Dream,’ whose director – Emir Kusturica – has since built this town. He’’s now due to play the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa in an all-Spanish language film the Director is writing. Both men needed to debate the film’s course, so Depp came to town.

“My impressions of Kustendorf? Johnny replied to reporters.I was totally shocked. I couldn’t imagine that a place so magical and beautiful could house a film festival,” he said at a ceremony where, in a blaze of fireworks and badly-tuned music the festival’s directors unveiled a life-size statue of him.

And this festival’s nothing like Cannes – Distributors, financiers and publicists are banned, there’s a concert each night, and the locals make a concoction called ‘Serbian Death Wine’ that’s so mind-crushingly strong, most events don’t even start until well after noon.

For his part, Johnny held a masterclass for young filmmakers, indulged all the press and cordially schmoozed with the fans…whom he’s never forgotten;

“The only reason we’re here is because of the people out there who want to have a piece of paper signed or to go to the cinema,” he reminded the crowd.

Asked by a fan about his favorite directors, Johnny didn’t blink: Tim Burton, Jim Jarmusch and Kusturica himself – all guys with ideas as offbeat as his own.

“They are very, very different in their style, but they’re also very similar.” he told the admirer. There isn’t a bone in any of their bodies that is capable of compromise.”

But one director absent from this year’s proceedings was Roman Polanski, with whom JD made the 1999 thriller, ‘The Ninth Gate.’ And Johnny was clearly upset by the reasons;

“Obviously, there is something going. Somebody has made a deal. Roman is not a predator; He’s 76-years old, with two beautiful kids and a wife he’s been with a long time. He’s not out on the street…so why now?”

Next, he was asked how he achieves the style that wins so much praise – and awards?

“When I read a script, I start to get flashes of imagery. It may be someone I’ve known. That’s really it. If I am guilty of one thing in my work, it’s that I have a tendency to lean towards humor.”

And his old friend, Kusturica still seems very impressed;

“You can be the best actor in the world and if you’re a jerk, you’re still a jerk.” he told the Independent. “Johnny showed me you can have decency and goodness together.” he opined.

An accurate review. So how does Depp do it? His own simple assessment? H’s a stalled teenager;

“There is a part of me that feels like I arrested development at 17,” he confesses. “At 17, you were a man. Everything in life was before you…but you couldn’t get in too much trouble…I have a feeling that at 17 I somehow locked off and stayed there.”

You can see this engaging teenager in his latest reunion with that perpetual adolescent, Tim Burton, when Alice in Wonderland opens on March 5…

James Cameron, that’s who.

The creator of the biggest box-office flick ever has serious doubts that his mega-flick will bring home any trophies this Oscar season, though he doesn’t sound TOO bitter about that.

In fact, he has his heart set on not winning and seeing his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow bring home the gold instead for her flick The Hurt Locker. He explains:

“I always believe it’s very unlikely that lightening will strike twice. I believe it’s very unlikely that we will win because I made such a jackass out of myself last time. Although there might be some curiosity about what I might do. The Hurt Locker is a very, very strong picture. Of the contenders, it’s definitely the strongest. Certainly it’s Kathryn’s moment. I would happily lose to her. I’ve already got one of those damn statues. I’d be pissed off if somebody else won, but I wouldn’t mind if she won.”

Like anyone would care if you were pissed off. Sure, Jason Reitman and Lee Daniels are shaking right now!

But you heard him Academy! No need to pump his ego with more statues! Time to spread the wealth around!

We guess we should ask though:

Do U think Avatar deserves any Oscar wins?

And it’s not gonna be televised!

Sean Combs (aka Diddy) has become a mulit-millionaire since his days of interning at a record company. He’s now the CEO of Bad Boys Records and Sean John Clothing, the force behind MTV’s Making The Band, owner of restaurant chain Justin’s and has a development deal with Ciroc vodka.

There’s no doubt he’s a force to be reckoned, but now he wants to share his knowledge with others by launching his own business academy in NYC – also know as his next business!

“I want to have an academy thats known for building leaders. I feel thats one of the things I can have an impact on, said Diddy. I want to take on more responsibility. Im still honestly in search of how I can have the most positive effect that I can have.

And let’s not forget bringing in the $$$$$$!

He’s such a holy man that Michael Lohan!

Michael Lohan has dropped the charges he brought against ex-girlfriend Erin Muller after “lots of thought and prayer.” Erin supposedly violated the restraining order Michael had against her. He explains:

Regardless of the lies and accusations, I am not going to judge her. My Pastors are right. Conquer evil with good. Forgive and let go! Hold on to what is true and appreciate the time you had.

“We did spend most of our time, enjoying life and each other. I hope others follow the same. I am sorry for the approach I took to defend myself, but her lying lawyer, Bryan Konoski left me not other choice. But God will deal with him.

Erin’s lawyer says that she denies ever calling Michael and violating the order of protection.

Whatever! She must be crazy too since she dated the guy!
