Robert Pattinson’s Latest Obsession

May 14, 2009 @ 11:00 am

The hunky Twilight vampire has been bitten by a sharp-toothed trend: On a recent photo shoot, the actor spotted a shark tooth necklace and asked where he could buy one. “We sent over some pieces, but we knew that Robert didn’t wear much bling,” says Finn Jewelry’s Candace Pool, who tells us the designer of the incisor “freaked out when she heard how much he liked the necklace.” Pattinson opted for the 18-carat gold charm on a leather cord—the same style owned by Brad Pitt.

Does Kate Gosselin Need a “Breakover”?

May 11, 2009 @ 10:45 am

Will Kate Gosselin ditch her buzzed-about hair for a new ‘do? If she takes a cue from Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, Kate Bosworth and other stars who have undergone breakup makeovers (aka “breakovers”) after high-profile splits, she just might. “A new color or cut not only makes you feel better, it will also give you a boost of self confidence when you’re ready to start looking for a new love,” says celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson.
