"New Moon" - Robert Pattinson
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
It's not just teenagers who have the hots for Robert Pattinson. He says a woman he described as being in her 90s came up to him the other day and said she was a fan. And the strange thing is, he says the old woman acted just like the 12-year-olds who are all giggly around him. After tonight's midnight screenings, "New Moon," opens nationwide tomorrow.


"The Messenger" - Ben Foster
WASHINGTON
Ben Foster had no idea the reactions he'd get when he had to tell families their loved ones had been killed in battle in "The Messenger." The director made sure the scenes were unscripted. So Foster didn't know that Steve Buscemi's character would spit in his face. Foster actually appreciated that. He says it's "the drug" actors chase. Something surprising that makes the camera disappear and makes the scene seem real. The Messenger opens in more theaters tomorrow.

Nicole Richie - Pneumonia
LOS ANGELES
Nicole Richie is in the hospital with pneumonia. Her rep says she's doing well and that she checked herself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. All last week, Richie was tweeting how sick she was, including this one from November 10th: "Sick, Sick, Sick in bed. Guess you'll be getting a lot of tweets from me. How many bad TV shows can a girl possibly watch?" By November 13 she was looking for a good movie to watch because she'd been in bed for four days. On Sunday, Richie wrote: "OK cold, it's been 6 days. Let's part ways graciously and keep it moving." Richie and Joel Madden were in court Monday. She was there to get a restraining order against two paparazzi.

Busy Paris Hilton
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
Beauty tips from Paris Hilton. Of course, she says she uses her own line for her hair. But, she also says she makes sure to use "amazing moisturizers and definitely wash all the make-up off at night." For her body, she says she loves to do Pilates. Hilton does something to keep her mind beautiful, too. It's yoga. And, she says "for love," she likes to cook and watch DVDs. Hilton is promoting her new haircare line this week.

Nicolas Cage - Meets With Alleged Somali Pirates In Prison
MOMBASA, Kenya
Nicolas Cage has visited a prison in Kenya that's holding suspected Somali pirates who are waiting to go to trial. Some of them danced for him and shook his hand. Cage is a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador on Drugs and Crime. He says he went because he wanted to talk with them and understand what's behind all that piracy off the Somali coast. Cage says he's "in a position" where he "can actually make some sense and talk about it" to various U.N. councils.

Michael Moore's Documentary Is Eliminated From Oscar Competition
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
A blow for Michael Moore. His documentary, "Capitalism: A Love Story," has been cut from Oscar competition. It's not one of the 15 on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' list of docs worthy of a nomination. "Capitalism: A Love Story" was one of 89 documentary features submitted for Oscar nominations. Another high-profile film, the well-reviewed rock-documentary, "It Might Get Loud," didn't make the cut, either. Neither did the Mike Tyson documentary "Tyson," or "The September Issue," about Vogue magazine and its editor-in-chief. Some of the 15 documentaries that made the list are: "The Cove," "Food, Inc." "The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers" and "Valentino The Last Emperor." This list of 15 will be narrowed again and 5 will be nominated for Oscars. Moore previously won an Oscar for "Bowling for Columbine."

Emmy Awards - Date
LOS ANGELES
The next Emmys will come around a little earlier than usual. Most years, they're in mid September. But, next year they'll be August 29, the last Sunday in August. NBC has the Emmys next year. And, to make sure the awards don't conflict with Sunday night football, NBC is scheduling the Emmys before football season begins. NBC did the same thing when it hosted the Emmys four years earlier, in 2006. Nominations for the upcoming Emmy Awards will be announced July 8.

New Oscars Director
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
The guy who'll be directing next year's Academy Awards has shows like MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV Europe Music Awards on his resume. Hamish Hamilton also has done live concerts by U2, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond and Christina Aguilera. And, one month before the Oscars, he'll be directing the halftime show at the Super Bowl. The Oscars are March 7 on ABC.

Tv Ratings
NEW YORK
ABC is tipping a 10-gallon hat to country music. The CMA Awards and Robin Roberts' interview special with Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and others, helped ABC have its best ratings-week in more than a year. ABC still came in second to CBS. But, it was by a hair. Here are last week's top-10 TV shows: "NBC Sunday Night Football: New England at Indianapolis," "NCIS," "Dancing With the Stars," "CSI," "CMA Awards," "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," "NCIS: Los Angeles," "Dancing With the Stars Results," "The Mentalist" and "Grey's Anatomy."
