Robert PattinsonRobert Pattinson has been urged to quit his womanizing ways.

The Twilight hunk's managerial team have warned him to calm down his partying antics and focus on his career as they fear he could risk tarnishing his successful name if he doesn't put a stop to his troublesome behavior.

"Rob's team felt he needed a wake up call [and] that now is the time to get extremely serious about his career, even if that means quitting the womanizing and music making that have defined his life in Los Angeles so far. They really don't want him throwing this opportunity down the toilet," a source told RadarOnline.

The 27-year-old actor shot to fame in 2008 after landing the role of Edward Cullen in the romantic fantasy film, but his team are worried he'll sign up to a movie at the end of this year that won't be as successful, and could play havoc with his future career. "Rob has to pick his next movie before the end of the year, and frankly, everyone is worried he's going to screw this up. There's this very strong sense from his team that he needs to find a serious movie, like Brad [Pitt] did with Seven that pulls him out of the cheesecake territory. He can't screw this up!" the source explained.

Lindsay wants absolutely nothing to do with Sam. She doesn't trust him and believes he is closely aligned with her estranged father, Michael Lohan.

"She's terrified that she is going to be forced to testify even though the judge handling her conservatorship ruled she isn't mentally competent to participate. Britney doesn't want to see Sam Lutfi or be in the same room with him again, ever. Sam's lawyer is still pushing the issue with the judge handling the lawsuit though and said during a hearing that he hadn't decided about whether or not he would call Spears as a witness," a source close to the star said.

The paperwork, obtained by TMZ, refers to a June 2007 incident in which "drug-sniffing dogs found a cache of crystal meth in her home" when he allegedly unleashed them on her property. "Britney should further testify that drug dogs found hot spots of drug residue in the carpeting, where her young sons [ages 1 and 3] played during visits," the documents state.

Sam insists he tried to help the singer stay off drugs before he was fired in 2009, even shampooing and eventually replacing her carpets to hide the evidence.

Lady Gaga is a 200-Pound Toddler

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,

Lady GagaLady Gaga is a "200-pound toddler."

The eccentric popstar's manager Troy Carter was asked at the Music Matters conference in Singapore if he believes his client has made it in music yet and bluntly replied "no" before calling her a "200-pound toddler."

"As big as she has become, globally, she is still a developing act. So we have to treat her as a developing act. She has to spend time in a market. We look at it as an investment. She's a 200-pound toddler. The truth is, and it's the reason why when we come to Singapore, we are going to be in Singapore for little over a week. It was important not to come into a market and play really quick and leave and go to another market. It's about diving deep with the fanbase and spending time in the local territories. I don't feel as if she's made it yet. You ask me this in 25 years and it might be a different answer. We've got a long way to go. She's on the edge as well.''

Troy also revealed if the record label had their way Gaga would release more albums but he wants her to build her brand and focus on touring extensively with each album, even visiting regions such as India where they won't make any money.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues,

Nicolas CageNicolas Cage has settled $6 million of his tax debt. The Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance actor has cleared almost half of the $13.3 million debt he owes for taxes in 2002 to 2004 and 2007 after he paid off $6,257,005.

Nicolas has blamed his former business manager Sam Levin for his problems, though he has countered this, claiming actor was overspending. "Over the course of my career I have paid at least $70 million in taxes. Unfortunately, due to a recent legal situation, another approximate $14 million is owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), however, I am under new business management and am happy to say that I am current for 2009. All taxes will be paid including any to be determined state taxes," he said in 2010.

The 48-year-old actor's spending is legendary, and Sam has claimed that by 2008 the star owned "15 palatial homes around the world, four yachts, a Gulfstream jet and millions of dollars in jewelry and art."

Nicolas was forced to sell off many of his assets, including properties in California, Las Vegas and New Orleans as well as a British castle, yachts and a 67-million-year-old dinosaur skull worth $276,000.


Justin Bieber Refuses to Hide Relationship

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Child Stars,

Justin Bieber and Selena GomezJustin Bieber refuses to hide his relationship with Selena Gomez.

The couple - who first started dating in 2010 - are often photographed holding hands or enjoying quality time together, and the 18-year-old "Baby" singer believes it would be "unhealthy" to have it any other way.

"There's no way to hide the relationship completely, because then it would be unfair to us. It's like, 'You take this car, and I'll take this car, and then we'll meet up at the spot. Then, you go in this door, I'll go in this door. We'll end up crossing ways. You get back in this car. We'll cross over, do a James Bond. You go through the kitchen. I'll go through the back area. Then we'll meet in the dressing room and see each other.' At that point, it's not even a relationship. You're just hiding from everyone. That's unfair and unhealthy," he said.

His manager Scooter Braun also told Complex magazine that despite the money, cars and adventures, Justin isn't entirely comfortable with fame: "[He] doesn't like being famous. He struggles with not being normal. I'm constantly telling him, 'You're not normal, and since you're having an extraordinary life, I'm holding to you extraordinary standards.'"
