Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Get Cozy at Cast Dinner!

The Breaking Dawn cast got some much deserved free time out in Baton Rouge, La., recently, hitting up Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.

"It was a lot of the cast and crew," a source who was also at the restaurant confirms to E!. "They were in the private back room and seemed in great spirits. Everyone had a really great time."

This obviously included Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who make no effort to hide their relaysh these days.

Here's the PDA scoop!

"They were sitting down and talking together most of the dinner," dishes our insider who snooped at what was taking place in the private digs. "Wherever Kristen was, he was, and visa-versa."

"[Rob and Kristen] were holding hands at some point, and when they got up to mingle with everyone for a bit he kept his hand on her back," adds the source. "They were really cute. And no one in attendance seemed surprised at their affection."

Jeez, maybe that's because Robsten was so on the moment they first met while making out on Catherine Hardwicke's bed!

With each movie the couple has become increasingly more public with their romance, aside from blabbing about it in the media of course.

And since we have been lucky enough to witness such cuddlefests before, we're sure this dinner was no different.

Love it, or love it?

Put your clothes on - it's a family show! Viewers outraged at Christina Aguilera and Rihanna's racy X Factor performances

It's one of the biggest TV events of the year, watched by around a third of the British population.

But as the X Factor final kicked off last night, the talent show was accused of straying somewhat from its family viewing credentials as Christina Aguilera and Rihanna put on two extremely provocative pre-watershed performances.


Aguilera wore an extremely low-cut black dress as she cavorted with an army of lingerie-clad dancers while Rihanna thrust her way through her solo performance in pants and strapless bra.

The superstars jetted in from the States to appear on the show, with Aguilera duetting with Rebecca Ferguson and Rihanna supporting Matt Cardle.

'Narnia' tops Friday with underwhelming $8.2 mil

Aslan’s not going to like this. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader led the box office on Friday but got off to a rocky start with $8.2 million, according to early estimates. That puts Fox’s $140 million fantasy epic, the third film adapted from C.S. Lewis’ series of novels, on track for a $24 million opening weekend. By comparison, 2005′s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe collected $65.6 million its first weekend, and 2008′s Prince Caspian debuted to $55 million. Dawn Treader was expected to continue the Narnia series’ box-office decline, but no one thought it’d tumble this much. It’s too early to declare what this soft debut means for the franchise’s future and its supposed next film, The Silver Chair. Also, considering its “A-” grade from CinemaScore audiences, Dawn Treader may hold up well during the rest of December. But this is clearly not the result Fox was hoping for when it secured distribution rights after Disney abandoned the series.

The Tourist, starring two attractive individuals named Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, also performed below expectations, albeit to a lesser degree than Dawn Treader. The PG-13 romantic thriller snatched $6.1 million on Friday and is on pace for an $18 million weekend. The rest of the top five featured holdovers. Disney’s animated musical Tangled fell 34 percent for $3.4 million, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 descended 50 percent for $2.4 million. In fifth place, the Denzel Washington action thriller Unstoppable showed off its box-office stamina yet again, skidding only 37 percent for $1.2 million and bringing its cumulative tally to $71.7 million.

HTC EVO Shift 4G (Knight / Speedy) gets leaked picture, January 9th release date?


We'll warn you that we have nothing but the word of an alleged Sprint employee that this is the real deal, but we don't know what else it could be -- if it walks like a duck and quacks like an EVO with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, we're inclined to believe it's the HTC EVO Shift 4G. Factor in the noticeable lack of front-facing camera, silver trackpad and those throwback flat keys, and we're even willing to forgive those hastily penciled watermarks on the keyboard and on top of the clearly 'shopped screen. Even if this shot is legit, we haven't seen the full device yet -- it sure looks like this Knight is wearing a suit of plastic armor around the edges.

In possibly related news, Android Central nabbed an alleged screenshot of a Sprint database showing an "HTC A7373" handset coming to Sprint on January 9th, and while one Russian e-tailer seems to think that codename refers to the GSM-friendly Desire Z, we have to imagine a Knight / Speedy / EVO Shift release is far more likely than a T-Mobile G2 redux on Sprint's CDMA frequencies.

Anne Hathaway is a special guest at Nobel Peace Prize celebrations (yes, really!)

Anne Hathaway brought an unexpected touch of showbiz glitz to the Nobel Peace Prize celebrations in Oslo, Sweden.

Hathaway turned up to host today's Nobel Peace Prize Concert along with Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, who turns 55 at the end of the month.


The 28-years-old actress was also joined by Barry Manilow, Herbie Hancock and Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman.

Anne and Denzel hosted a news conference earlier today about the concert , which is meant to honour jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010 Nobel prize.

Miley Cyrus on 'Dangerous Path' and Needs 'Tough Love,' Experts Say


The controversial videotape of Miley Cyrus purportedly doing a bong hit with a psychedelic herb is putting a dent in her image as a teen idol and could potentially derail her career if she continues using drugs, experts tell PopEater. In this latest scandal involving the Disney star, Cyrus is seen in a video obtained by TMZ taking hits from a bong, which was reportedly filled with a natural herb called salvia, sources told the website. Possession of salvia, which has psychedelic qualities when smoked, is currently legal in California.

"She needs someone to show her some tough love right now," Calvina Fay, executive director of Drug Free America Foundation, Inc., tells PopEater. "She is going down a destructive road and needs to change her ways."

Not only that, says Fay, "she is sending a bad message about using a mind-altering drug to get high. She is a teen idol who is popular, did something that is getting lots of media coverage and appears to have a glamorous life."

But the effects of Salvia or any other drug are far from glamorous, says Fay. In the video, which was reportedly taken at Cyrus's Los Angeles area home five days after she turned 18, "she is seen laughing and appears to be having a good time, which gives the impression that salvia isn't harmful – when it is," she says.

An Update to Android Market Brings a Brand New Android Market


In its latest update, Android Market is pretty much starting over. All of the gazillion apps are still there but the interface will look different and the experience will almost be brand new.

On the home screen of the Android Market, a new carousel feature let's users flip through featured apps in a Cover Flow-like style. Google has also added new categories for Live Wallpapers and Widgets and promises more categories for popular apps in the future, too. Once you get to an app's page, you'll no longer see the old tabbed interface but rather a single, "streamlined" page. There's also a heavier use of green, if you hadn't noticed that.

Google will also change the refund time of apps from 24 hours to 15 minutes, so no more gaming the system. They're also upping the maximum download file to 50MB in hopes of landing richer games and offering better support for different screen resolutions and such.

These tweaks and changes all add up to one of the biggest updates to the Android Market since paid apps were introduced. Google says that this brand new Android Market will be rolling out to Android 1.6+ users in the next couple of weeks.

Prince William & Kate Middleton Share Two Official Engagement Photos

To go glamorous or relaxed in the world's most-anticipated engagement photos? For Prince William and Kate Middleton, the answer was clear: both!

The newly released photos – the official portrait photographs for the engagement of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton – were captured during a two-hour shoot by fashion photographer Mario Testino, who was hand-selected by the groom-to-be, 28, for the task.

"Prince William has worked with Mario Testino on many occasions before, and so the couple decided that he was the right choice for such an important portrait," said a Clarence House spokeswoman.

Middleton, 28, did her own makeup for the photos (as she did for her televised post-engagement interview), a source tells PEOPLE, though Testino's makeup artist was on hand for touch-ups.

And those famous tresses? The princess-to-be got her hair done by her usual stylist, James Pryce, from the Richard Ward salon.

For the formal photo – which was snapped in the historic Council Chamber linked to Clarence House, the official residence of William's father Prince Charles – Prince William donned a Turnbull and Asser suit, while Kate chose a white Reiss dress and Links earrings. For the dressed-down denim look – taken in the Cornwall Room of St. James's Palace – William changed into a Turnbull and Asser shirt and Brunello Cucinelli sweater, with Kate opting for a Whistles blouse.

So, have you been naughty or nice? Katy Perry greets Santa in a tiny toy solider costume

Katy Perry reported for duty at Madison Square Garden last night in a very skimpy toy soldier costume.

The 26-year-old singer teamed her festive - and rather flirty - costume with thigh-high white boots and fishnet stockings for Z100’s Jingle Ball in New York.


She was joined by no less than three Santas as she cavorted around while performing a medley of her hit songs.

She sang her latest number one hit, Firework, along with Hot & Cold, I Kissed A Girl, Teenage Dream and crowd favourite, California Gurls.

Katy was joined by a host of other stars for the event, including Disney star Selena Gomez.

The 18-year-old star, who was dressed in a low-cut black gown, performed her tracks Round and Round, A Year Without Rain, and Naturally.

Natalie Portman is graceful as a swan as she strips down to her garter and négligée

Black Swan star Natalie Portman swapped pliés and pirouettes for more subtle moves in a seductive new video.

The 29-year-old is seen peeling off her slinky black dress to reveal a garter and négligée in an artistic black and white clip released by the New York Times Magazine to celebrate their Hollywood issue.



The actress is first seen sitting in a chair fully dressed in a long black satin dress, shoulder cape, black suede high heel sandals, long black satin evening gloves and long, curly peroxide blonde wig.

Portman then proceeds to slowly strip down and begins by removing each of her earrings and throwing them to the floor.

Next up she slowly peels off her left glove followed by the right which she discards on the floor next to her.

LG Star preview


The LG Star. The dual-core beast from the east that was once a mere twinkle in our eye has managed to find its way to the Engadget mansions, having been lent to us by a very generous (and very anonymous) tipster. It's clearly a test device, as evidenced by its diagnostics menus and lack of a lockscreen, but there's no disguising the power that lies within it. We put the Star through a battery of common Android benchmarks and the results were, in a word, outstanding. Basically, Tegra 2 will give anything your current phone's running an inferiority complex. Join us after the break as we delve deeper into this upcoming powerhouse of a handset from LG. One thing's for sure: CES 2011 can't come soon enough.

Inside The New Michael Jackson Album

In 2007, Michael Jackson began working on new music that he wouldn't live to finish.

Since the King of Pop's untimely death, several producers and songwriters have picked up where he left off, finishing the album, Michael, out Dec. 14.

"I think he'd be very proud," says producer Tricky Stewart, who worked on "Keep Your Head Up." "If I didn't think he's be proud, I wouldn't do this."

The songs on the album, he adds, appear "as they were written, but it was up to us to produce and deliver them to their fullest potential."

One of those songs, "Hold My Hand," was co-written by songwriter Claude Kelly. "Michael loved everything about it," says Kelly, who wrote the song with rapper Akon. Though the track was originally intended for Whitney Houston, Akon liked it so much that he kept it for himself.

Enter Michael Jackson. When Akon played it for him to get his feedback, "Michael was like, 'I have to get on this; this is me, and exactly what I want to talk about,'" says Kelly.

Like many who worked with the music icon, Stewart has a memorable story of the day he first met Jackson, back in 1993.

"He would send a bunch of stuff to personalize the studio, and in this case, he sent arcade games," says the producer. "I was young and not really thinking and I started playing Pac-Man when I heard this voice – and there's no mistaking that voice – saying, 'You know those are my games, don't you?'"

Luckily, the star was happy to share. "He was really cool and nice about it," Stewart recalls with a laugh. "He even let me keep playing."

Google Says They'll Have Failed if Chrome OS and Cloud Computing Doesn't Become the Norm


Google has a lot of faith in their Chrome OS. So much, in fact, that they won't be satisfied with anything less than creating a paradigm shift in computer use.

In an interview with SearchEngineLand, Chrome OS product manager Caesar Sengupta went on record in an interview, stating the following:

Do you really see these types of machines taking over from the Windows computers and Macs that many people use now?

I think it depends on the user and the user's behavior. In the long term and the fullness of time, absolutely. I think we will have failed if this doesn't become your default way of computing. But right now, we see hundreds of millions of users who live on the web. For many of these users, this will replace their machines immediately, especially as web apps get better.


Get ready for an onslaught of web apps, folks.
