You know what? This is exactly what needed to happen to Dakota. She’s in LA filming Runaways with the coolest girl in school, Kristen Stewart, and the two seem to have gotten awfully chummy during this time. I’ve been waiting for years for this perfect little child to release that dark, dirty, tabloid-friendly side that I know she has deep inside her. I think K-Stew’s gonna be the one to release the dragon — Puff, the Magic Dragon, if ya catch my drift.

And yet, I’m torn. There’s a part of me that hopes — and kind of believes — that it’s just a matter of time before Dakota’s getting pulled out of clubs with her eyes half-open, and there’s a part of me that still feels really protective of the little girl she used to be, and hopes she can transition from child actor to adult actor without having to do more with lines than read them.

Anyhoo. These pics are super cute.

The band’s former lead vocalist — the huge-voiced Amy Lee — left the group to pursue other projects, so now they’re teaming up with Idol sixth-place finisher Carly Smithson to form a new band, The Fallen.

“I kept getting told that ‘you don’t have the rock voice, you can’t do rock music,’ ” Smithson told the Los Angeles Times. “But it’s everything I am. It’s everything I listen to. I’m not the regular girl next door.”

The band will debut their first single on June 22, on their website.

Above find Carly doing one of Evanescence’s hits, “Bring Me to Life,” on the Idol tour. What do you think? Can she replace Amy?

J-Love may have wormed her slimy little way into Wendie’s heart, but I continue to carry my distaste for her. And I am EXTREMELY SCARED for women everywhere now that I hear she’s writing a book about dating.

With plenty of dating experience under her belt, Jennifer Love Hewitt has decided to write a book, titled The Day I Shot Cupid, addressing romantic relationships that will include everything from tips on text-flirting and how to start over after a breakup.

“I thought it was time to share the real story of what I’ve learned navigating the dating waters.” Hewitt says in a statement from Voice publishers. “Hopefully, in addition to having a good laugh, women reading this will learn from some of my hard lessons.”

Um, I will be interested in Jennifer Love Hewitt’s book when she calls it The Day I Got Engaged to a Man and Then Actually Married Him. Because, look, I’ve been on a lot of dead-end dates, too. I’ve dated a lot of men and then realized that it wasn’t going to work out in the long run. But I never got engaged to the dudes. And it’s a mistake that everyone is entitled to make once, but how many damn times have you been engaged now, Love? And then broke it off? I will take dating advice from you the same day I take fashion tips from Chloe Sevigny.

The book — if you dare to read it — will come out in March 2010.

Jon Gosselin

Well, that’s sure not how I ever smoked a cigarette.

I have seen people smoke pot that way.

Just saying.

We told you earlier in the day that Jon was spotted in Manhattan smoking a cigarette, but I’m getting the distinct feeling that’s not the only thing he smokes.

Check out these pics of Jon Gosselin puffing away at something outside the family’s house in Reading, Pa. He also greets a woman with a hug outside their home.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno doesn’t open in the US until July, but it premiered yesterday in London. Despite all the buzz about whether or not the film fairly represented the gay community (uhhhh, I’m gonna go with “no,” because it’s a satire, guys), the early reviews are, I imagine, exactly what Sacha was hoping they’d be.

There’s this, from the BBC:

“Sometimes you question whether he has finally crossed the line into offensive bad taste – and, latterly, whether you were right to laugh at it – but the audience all seemed to guffaw and groan in the right places. They even gasped in horror when they were supposed to.”

And this, from The Sun:

“And here lies a warning — the pygmy sex scene is one of the most horrific incidents ever committed to celluloid. I’m talking fire extinguishers, champagne bottles and mechanically adapted fitness equipment. Teenage boys should under no circumstances watch this with their parents.”

Ooooh, you guys!!! I am SEEING THIS ON OPENING NIGHT. That is, if I can’t talk someone into getting me into a critic’s screening even earlier than that.

Britney Spears

She may look lost and confused, but her nipples know exactly which way they’re headed.

Here’s Brit-Brit shopping in London today. Hopefully she remembered to buy a bra!
