The overnight success Robert Pattinson experienced with "Twilight" has made him one of the most sought-after young actors today. But, many will undoubtedly argue that it is too soon for the 23-year-old to get his own feature length documentary. Regardless, Revolver Entertainment has taken the chance and put his relatively short span of life under the microscope in a new DVD titled "Robsessed".

This feature documentary, for those who are not very familiar with RPattz, does provide "the ultimate, all-access guide" to this international heartthrob. It invites them to trace back this British actor's childhood, detailing on his struggles in school, his loves for music, how he got into modeling, the indie films he took before "Twilight" and why he is such an outcast in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

Jake Gyllenhaal is a step closer to land a role in "Source Code". According to Variety, the actor, who will be seen starring as Prince Dastan in upcoming movie "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time", has been in negotiations with Vendome Pictures and the Mark Gordon Co. to star in the sci-fi film. However, as of the press time there has been no word on the character that will possibly be portrayed by the 28-year-old star.

If Gyllenhaal signs on for "Source Code", he is likely to work together with Duncan Jones. The British filmmaker, who is best known for directing Sam Rockwell-starred movie "Moon", is currently attached to helm the 2011 thriller film, replacing Shane Abbess who was tapped to take the respective duty last year.

Next week could be the beginning of the end of Gilles Marini's stint on "Brothers & Sisters" as a preview for the episode has revealed that his character Luc is seen walking away. Sarah and Luc discover that they may not be as compatible as they had hoped.

Called "The Wine Festival", the episode was actually intended to be the last one featuring him before ABC decided to stretch Luc's story arc. Giving comment of next week's episode, Marini said to EW, "It's major. Everyone will be on a cliffhanger of no way, what just happened, no no no! It's pretty deep and I cannot wait for people to see it."

Britney Spears' tour opener in Australia on November 6 has been hit with reports that many people attending the concert have walked out early and demanded refund for their tickets. In response to the negative reviews, promoter for the show spoke out, claiming the reports as a fabrication and revealing that Britney is upset with it.

"I'm so angry," promoter Paul Dainty told The Australian. "We can take heat if there's something wrong and people can review shows badly -- that's something you have to live with -- but to say people stormed out of the show was an absolute fabrication."

Cameron Diaz knows best when it comes to self confidence as she has stated that she won't hate herself because of people's negative opinion toward her. "I don't think that self-deprecation is healthy for people," she says.

"I think you should have a healthy relationship with yourself. We all have our up days and our down days. But I'm not going to walk through this world hating myself because somebody doesn't like me or doesn't think I'm pretty or that I should be ashamed that people think that I'm pretty," she elaborates. "How am I going to live my life trying to figure out what everybody else feels about me? All I can do is know how I feel about myself."

So it became "The Monologue Song (La La La)" where Swift sang "You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone/ Hey, Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting 'SNL' "

"A Christmas Carol (2009)" has brought holiday cheer all the way to the top of the North American box office. Opened in theaters across the country on Friday, November 6 with nearly $9 million in its pocket, the 3-D movie from Walt Disney Pictures went on to collect a total of $30.1 million over the weekend, knocking off former champion "This Is It".

Although winning over the Michael Jackson's documentary, this Robert Zemeckis' movie didn't score an opening number as big as what Disney was hoping for. It also opened below 2000's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", the previous holiday movie in which Jim Carrey also toplined and bowed to $55.1 million. Still, it scored better than "Polar Express", which had an opening weekend of $23.5 million.

Starring as protective and romantic vampire Edward Cullen in drama-romance-thriller "Twilight", Robert Pattinson says he is completely unromantic off screen. "I can't think of a single romantic thing that I've ever done," so he confessed while promoting the highly anticipated "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" in Los Angeles on Friday, November 6.

"I would never serenade someone to be romantic - you have to have so much balls to do that," stated the British actor. "I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old, this girl called Maria. She thought that it was someone else and the other guy claimed it as well, which is great."

Publicly confirming his sexual orientation earlier this year, Adam Lambert says he pays no attention to the negative comments addressed to him. "I tried not to pay attention to the negative reaction because that's a waste of my energy," he is quoted as telling the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

"There were a couple of people who felt turned off by that," he goes on stating. "Quite frankly, if my sexuality is enough to deter you from the art that I'm creating, then you probably shouldn't be my fan anyway, because I'm looking to create fun music that's entertaining and sometimes makes you want to dance."
