Rob Pattz is in New York City filming a non-Twilight related movie called Remember Me. So the ladies of NYC are pretty lucky—they might actually be able to catch a glimpse of the dreamboat.

It's not so lucky for Rob, on the other hand, who can barely walk to his trailer without crazed teen girls outmaneuvering security guards to forcibly hug the sparkle vampire.

And we get it, we know how great R.Pattz is and everything. But it just might be better to leave the squealing at home while browsing our If If Looks Could Kill: Rate Twilight's Rob Pattinson gallery and play it cool around him.

In fact, totally ignore him like you've never even heard of that vampire movie that everyone’s talking about. And so concludes this morning's session of the Vampire Pickup Artist.

For more on how Rob and the studios will handle the fans, check in later with the Awful Truth.

Lindsay Lohan's latest headline-grabbing exploit is a real gem.

British police are investigating the disappearance of roughly $410,000 worth of jewelry, which went missing earlier this month after a London photo shoot featuring the star.

Scotland Yard—not to mention LiLo's reps—was quick to deny that Lohan was a suspect, but confirmed that everyone present for the picture session, held June 6 for Elle UK, will be questioned.

The baubles—a necklace and diamond earrings loaned to the magazine by Dior, were reported AWOL two days after the shoot—just as Lohan made her way back stateside.

If nothing else, this oughta help ease her little boredom problem.

Being the offspring of somebody famous brings with it a certain amount of baggage as it is. So, naturally, it makes perfect sense to add to their burden by giving them unusual names, right?

From Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale christening their kid Zuma to Bob Geldof dubbing his daughter Fifi Trixibelle, there certainly doesn't seem to be a shortage of folks hell-bent on torturing their tykes with questionable monikers.

As Speidi lightning continues to strike on Al Roker, the Today show icon is maintaining his sense of humor.

During a recap on this morning's episode, Meredith Viera showed a clip of yesterday's much-discussed interview with Spencer and Heidi Pratt. When Roker asked if it looked like an attack, as they claim, the hostess pointed out that what she showed was only a small segment.

"I kept going, then I hit them with Mace and tied them up," he joked.

"Spencer said, 'He's lucky I was saved by Jesus because a couple of weeks ago, I probably would have ripped his head off for talking to my wife like that,' " Viera read from the transcript before asking Roker, "Are you proud?"

"Yes, I am," Roker replied. "I believe I asked what a lot of people wanted to know and, if he had tried to come across, I would have dumped him like a bag of dirt."

The Hills stars, for their part, claim to have forgiven the weather guru…but not before attempting to insult him.

Deliberately misinterpreted or not, unnecessarily drawn out or not, in poor taste or…well, the consensus is actually pretty clear on that one…Sarah Palin has finally called a cease-fire on her feud with David Letterman, accepting for good the host's second, and slightly more sincere, televised extension of an olive branch.

The détente was made official this morning, when the Alaska governor issued a statement thanking Letterman, more or less, for coming to his comedic senses, and accepting his apology on behalf of the double-X-chromosome set.

"Of course it's accepted on behalf of young women, like my daughters, who hope men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve," Palin said of the Late Show host's apology.

"Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' about whatever he wants to, and thankfully we have the right to express our reaction."

And lest anyone forget Palin is still a star political figure and not (solely) an instigator of culture wars, she somehow even managed to work in a shout-out to the nation's servicemen and -women.

As celebrities go, Leonardo DiCaprio seems a safe bet.

So, while you're still shuddering over the scary Shutter Island trailer, Variety reports that DiCaprio has doubled-down to produce and star in a new project: a film about online casinos based in Costa Rica.

OK, maybe online gamblers—often unfairly characterized as PJs-wearing shlubs tapping away at their PCs—don't sound as sexy as the guys in Oceans Eleven. But with Leo, and the writing team behind Rounders and—hello!—Oceans Thirteen, the odds look good on this one.

What else is going on in the casting world?

• Natalie Portman is limbering up for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, a supernatural thriller set in the world of ballet, says the Hollywood Reporter. Hey, if she can dance half as good as she can rap, we're in.

• The Disney comedy You Again has added a trifecta of talented thespians, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristin Chenoweth and—wait for it—Betty White. We are so there.

•  When we're bored, we usually turn on the television or pick up a book. Sometimes, we'll even just go for a walk. When Lindsay Lohan is bored, she posts topless photos to her Twitter. This one had the note, "Fornarina. OLD PHOTOS. I'm THAT bored," and made sure Perez Hilton and E!'s Ben Lyons received it. Ironically, reports of LiLo's NYC weekend itinerary don't sound at all droll.

•  The Jonas Brothers want to splice their song called "Paranoid" with Kanye West's song, "Paranoid." They're so clever and hard core.

•  A.G. + A.G. = Ashley Green and Adrian Grenier! Hearts!

We heard earlier today—incidentally, the start of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'s first fully Speidi-free week—that Janice Dickinson was rushed to the hospital to be treated for an undisclosed illness.

A source told E! News, however, that everyone would have to wait for Monday's episode to see what was wrong with the combative ex-model. Hmph.

The state of the I'm a Celebrity union is this: The NBC show's most bankable assets, Heidi and Spencer Pratt, are gone. So is Daniel Baldwin, who for some reason seemed like a pillar of sense compared to people like Janice, whose constipation turned into a major plot point this evening. (And by the way, she's fine.)

We've already watched people eat bull testicles and fire ants, so what can NBC do to attract viewers to this Monday-Thursday spectacle, which has been slipping in the ratings since day one?

David Letterman has figured out that, at this point, the joke's on him.

At Monday's taping, the Late Show host again apologized—but without reattacking them this time—to Sarah Palin's family for his "coarse joke" about the Alaska governor's 18-year-old daughter Bristol getting "knocked up" by New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.

Which Palin—along with many of her supporters and Letterman's harshest critics—interpreted as a bizarro crack at 14-year-old Willow Palin.

"I've never made jokes like this as long as we've been on the air, 30 long years, and you can't really be doing jokes like that," Letterman said, referring to the inappropriate thing some thought that he was saying. "And I understand, of course, why people are upset. I would be upset myself."

"It doesn't make any difference what my intent was, it's the perception," the late-night veteran told his audience. "And, as they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it's not a very good joke...I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception.

"And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault."
