Dear Ted:
I'm totally Team Robsten, but I wish you would give Taylor a break. The guy is young and, sure, he's got sexy abs, but he's just starting his career. So he became famous thanks to Twilight, but so did Rob and Kristen! I agree that there was no chemistry between him and Taylor Swift, on or offscreen, but there's definitely chemistry between him and Kristen! Don't hate the wolf, he might bite...

Dear Lay Off:
Exactly—he's just starting what he hopes will be a long-term career, so it's important that he defines himself for the right reasons. Abs can only get cutie Taylor so far, he needs some acting chops to balance the obvious hottie factor in order to be taken seriously. Or don't you agree?
Dear Ted:
Greetings from Ireland! The press over in the U.K. are a little extreme. Check this out. Do you think that Rob is maybe a lot less "aw shucks, I am nothing special" than he appears. I am really warming to Kristen after a shaky start and think she will go far, but something about him is making me think he is a little conceited without the talent to back it up. Will this cause problems between the two?

Dear Brit Lit:
Rob definitely plays the humble card well, but don't think he doesn't know how big of a star he's becoming. That said, take the report with a grain of salt—neither Rob nor K.Stew is rushing down the aisle yet.
Dear Ted:
Not being in the Biz, I don't have an understanding of the workings of a production company. But I feel like I could run Summit better than they do. They seem to think the Twilight saga is just automatically going to make them money and keep them afloat, whether the fans are happy or not. And don't get me started on the poor PR decision regarding their stars and releases like Remember Me. If I can see this from the outside, what are the insiders, money people and share holders thinking? Do they answer to anyone or are they really omnipotent?

Dear Insider Dish:
Hmmm, did you mean omnipotent or impotent? The problem is that the Twilight movies will automatically make Summit money. There's too many fans that will see the flicks no matter how good or, more likely, totally crappy they are. If Summit had to worry about the films actually performing, they might make better decisions behind the scenes.
Dear Ted:
Summit has never strayed too far from the books? Are you kidding? They had Carlisle say, "Stop, Edward, you're killing her" during the bloodsucking scene, when the whole frigging point of that scene was that Edward loved Bella enough to resist the excruciating desire for her blood. That's the most egregious text mauling we've seen so far, but both movies were riddled with unnecessary departures from the actual text. Bleh. I get so tired of that crap—defiling the mythology of a creative world for what?
—Enya
Dear Hello:
Oh not for much, just a total worldwide gross—so far—of $1,092,058,287.
