It seems like just yesterday that Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart were two insanely famous young people carrying on a not-so-secret affair. Now it looks like the Twilight costars might, in fact, be husband and wife, sort of. If you find yourself hyperventilating at the thought that He of the Sparkly Skin is permanently off the market, relax—they’re only married in the eyes of God, not in the eyes of the law. So it’s not totally for keeps.
You see when they filmed the wedding in the forthcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, they used an actual priest, and, well, oops! Here’s what RPattz has to say on the matter:
“The wedding scene’s funny because we used a real priest. So technically we are already married because he did all the things you would do in a normal ceremony. So we don’t have a civil union in law, but I guess in the church we are actually married.”
Haha, that is funny…but we shouldn’t be too hard on anyone because it seems like an easy enough mistake to make. I mean, who among us hasn’t had a real priest preside over the wedding of our movie character to our onscreen lover who is also our real-life partner and not thought about the possible consequences? Happens all the time! [Us Weekly]
There was some drama at Nicki Minaj’s house today. It all centered around a fight she was having with her household staff. Apparently some time ago one of her maids picked a photo of Minaj out of the trash and asked her to autograph it, which upset the singer enough that she fired the woman. Okay, this is where it gets confusing, because either the fired maid or another maid which Minaj mistook for the fired maid (you know maids, they all look alike!) came back to the house today. Nicki flipped out and demanded that the woman leave. Then her boyfriend got involved and “began pushing the maid with his body.” Eventually the cops showed up and everyone managed to calm down enough to avoid being arrested. [TMZ]
Take note Justin Timberlake fans: you’re about to go into withdrawal. The singer/actor/object of general affection has told Esquire that he’s planning to take a hiatus from performing in all his various capacities. What will he do with himself, you wonder? “I think you can work and work and work and never really live. The plan is to have no plan. I’ll probably travel, but I’d rather be spontaneous. I feel like I’ve earned at least a little bit of time to do that…” You have, indeed, but Justin? JUSTIN? Where are you?! Come back to ussssss! [Daily Express]

- Carey Mulligan may be a movie star, but that doesn’t mean she likes exposing herself in public. Here’s what she had to say regarding the perils of singing versus doing nudity in her new movie Shame: “It’s scarier to sing than to do nudity. Singing is like really exposing yourself. I was playing sort of a singer, so I was pretending to have a talent I don’t necessarily believe I have. So singing was quite scary.” Agreed, though I must say nudity also sounds very terrifying no matter how naturally “talented” one’s body might be at it. [E! Online]
