Rep. Weiner Has Angry Exchange With Capitol Hill Reporters Over Twitter Scandal

Looks like Weiner is getting hot under the collar with questions concerning Weinergate. To date, he hasn’t filed of police report of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

That seems very strange to me.

Mediaite

One of Capitol Hill’s most media-friendly people, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, seems to be souring on the subject of his Twitter account, brushing off questions about his Twitter feed and the photo of a man in his underwear that was sent from that account. “I’m not going to talk about this anymore,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon, in an exchange with journalists CNN described as “angry.”

Nicole Scherzinger: Worried About Cole Backlash

Nicole Scherzinger: Worried About Cole Backlash

Gearing up for the busy day ahead, Nicole Scherzinger was spotted leaving her hotel in Paris, France this morning (May 31).

The former Pussycat Doll is in the City of Lights to do some promotional appearances ahead of her new album’s release.

Back in the States, Nicole was recently chosen to replace Cheryl Cole as a judge on the new talent show “The X Factor,” and while she’s grateful for the gig, Scherzinger is fearful that British fans will react negatively.

A source revealed, "Nicole is really upset at what happened to Cheryl. She knows her well and thought she would have been a great in the show. She knows how people in Britain are so proud of their stars and want to see them do well in the States too, so she is aware there could be a lot of unhappiness surrounding the rejection.”

"The last thing she wants is bad blood between herself and Cheryl and anyone thinking she might have been lobbying to get her place. Nicole wants to see her do well in whatever she does next and hopes there won't be any hard feelings."

"There was this big group of girls who were the local answer to Mean Girls and they would storm the bathrooms shouting 'I'm going to f***ing get you Lips. See you on the school bus."

Jessica Szohr Talks "Gossip Girl" Departure

Jessica Szohr Talks Gossip Girl Departure

She spent four years playing Vanessa Abrams, and Jessica Szohr didn’t sound too sad to be leaving her “Gossip Girl” gig.

The beautiful brunette chatted with press about how her departure is mutually beneficial and will allow her to pursue other avenues.

"When I started the fourth season, I kind of had a talk with the producers. We didn't know what we were going to do with the characters. After playing someone for four years, it can be a little repetitive.”

“So I was ready for a change. I had so much fun and I made friends I'll have for a lifetime and it was so great to work in the city, but I got the most I could out of Vanessa. I have two movies that I start in August and July and I have a couple movies coming out in the next couple months."

Robert Pattinson's Toronto Tuesday

Robert Pattinson Toronto Tuesday

Kicking off another workday, Robert Pattinson was spotted on the set of “Cosmopolis” early this morning (May 31).

The “Twilight” stud looked intense as he made his away around the Toronto, Canada locale, sporting a brown ball cap, green button-up shirt, and blue trousers.

Coming up this Sunday, Robert and his costar/girlfriend Kristen Stewart will compete for the Best Kiss award at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.

A favorite in the category, Robert confessed that he’d be a little stressed if he and Stewart went home empty-handed this year.

"It's kind of terrifying if you suddenly stop winning it. You're like, 'Oh God!' It's almost worse than if you stop winning, like, acting awards or whatever. If you can't kiss anymore, it's like, 'What? I'm still good at kissing!'"

Making the most of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett were spotted out at a Los Angeles park on Sunday (May 29).

The former “Girls Next Door” babe and her football-playing hubby treated their son Hank to some active quality time and looked like the picture perfect family.

Kendra recently told press she is back to her old body after competing on “Dancing with the Stars,” and she couldn’t be happier.

"I was size 2 or 4 before 'Dancing with the Stars' and now I'm a size 0. My waist is still shrinking! When you work out, you produce so much lactic acid, so my body always looks thicker and more muscular. Now that I've had a couple weeks off, my body is fuller and looks better. I hope I'll look like this forever. But to be honest, I will never be satisfied!"
