Robert Pattinson pleased after KStew walks a mile in his contacts

Robert Pattinson seems rather delighted that Kristen Stewart is finally feeling his pain.

The pain would be that of finally having to wear the gold, code-for-vampire contact lenses he's been dealing with throughout "The Twilight Saga," he told MTV News. They're a little more hard-core than the brown contacts she'd donned as Bella Swan -- and thought were no big deal, so what was his problem -- prior to her transformation into an immortal bloodsucker, which happens in the "Breaking Dawn" films.

"When she finally wore them and was complaining about them every second of the day," Pattinson told MTV, "it was kind of satisfying."

Nice boyfriend, eh?

Stewart, of course, showed her cards in the November issue of British GQ, noting that "my boyfriend is English" before backing away a bit with, "I never would have said that if I knew you were going to be interviewing me." Stewart was the mag's cover girl, with a photo spread inside.

"So much of my life is so easily Googled," she said. "I mean, it's like, come on guys, it's so obvious!"

Obvious or not, their relationship is something she's wanted to keep private. "It's just one of those things. I'm selfish. I'm like, 'That's mine!' ... I always say to myself I'm never going to give anything away because there's never any point or benefit for me."

When it comes to those uncomfortable gold contact lenses, however, it looks like what was only "his" is now "ours." Rather, "theirs." Ugh, still no benefit for Kristen!

The world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" is Monday, and the movie opens Nov. 18.

Kate Winslet spends quality time with Ned Branson, kids

Consider this your Kardashian-divorce palate cleanser: Kate Winslet has talent, style and a new boyfriend, and we think you should know about it.

After she braved a fire, sans undergarments, on Richard Branson's Necker Island (shout out for saving Grandma), the world was tipped off that Winslet, who recently split from director Sam Mendes, had taken up with the Virgin honcho's nephew, Ned.

After a few sly dates here and there, Ned is now spending time with Winslet's children, Mia and Joe. The four of them were spotted roving the streets of chilly New York on Thursday.

If her personal life is sailing, work is on par -- the actress stars in award-season contender "Carnage," directed by Roman Polanski and costarring Jodie Foster, John C. Riley and Christoph Waltz. 

She also continues to front St. John, the fashion house once repped by Angelina Jolie, most recently debuting stunning images including the one above for its spring campaign.

Kim Kardashian's marriage is just fine, Rob Kardashian says

Newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have been dancing around rumors of marriage trouble, prompting brother Rob Kardashian to give them both a hand on "Dancing With the Stars."

Rob spoke up during "DWTS" rehearsals this week in defense of his sister and newly minted brother-in-law, saying all is well with the pair.

"My sister is completely happy, my family’s never been happier," Rob told "Access Hollywood." "She just got married, so she should be happy."

Though Kim hasn't directly answered (nor been directly asked) questions about her union, since the wedding in August she's been vocal about discontent with her living situation: Sister Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick were in the same small Manhattan space with them while they filmed E!'s "Kourtney and Kim Take New York."

"It's not ideal because you're newlyweds and you want privacy," Kim told People. She and Kris have since come back to Los Angeles, where Rob says tabloid media are inventing their alleged rift.

"It's all about trying to break up newlyweds or trying to create drama over nothing," Rob said. "That's just media, and like I said, the world we live in, and we have never listened to those comments or else you’re gonna drive yourself crazy and break up your own marriage."

George Clooney supports Stacy Keibler — on the bosom level

The Ministry is so comforted to know that George Clooney is one supportive boyfriend to Stacy Keibler.

Not only was he a noble escort at the Hollywood Film Awards on Monday, he also provided that crucial eye required by a woman in a red-carpet gown: Clooney was on bosom patrol.

Arriving at the Beverly Hilton just before 6 p.m., the couple braved the photo pit with close touches and smiles. However, just as the A-lister was about to guide his lady into the event — which saw honors for Michelle Williams, Glenn Close, Diablo Cody and Elle Fanning — Stacy struggled with the top of her dress.

Clooney watched her adjustments intently before finally declaring: "They're even." Way to have her back, George. Or her front? Either way, we totally wish we were dating you. 

"The Ides of March" star was predictably charming and humble in accepting his Actor of the Year award, crediting his days on "ER" and the millions who tuned in to watch it for his luck in show business.

Seriously, though — it's looking as if Keibler is busting out as the truly lucky one.

George Clooney, Stacy Keibler, Catherine Deneuve party in Paris

For George Clooney and Stacey Keibler, dinner and a movie means French cuisine, a red carpet and rubbing elbows with Catherine Deneuve in the Paris rain.

The new couple, who took their budding romance public just last month at the Toronto International Film Festival, stepped out in Paris for the French premiere of Clooney's "The Ides of March."

Beaming in a slate-colored gown with a jeweled bust, Kiebler was escorted by Clooney down the press line and into the theater before a pit stop to their hotel at Place Vendome. An after-party followed for the pair at swanky L'Arc restaurant on the Champs-Elysées, according to People.

"They came around 11:30," a partygoer told the mag, "and stayed until well past 2:30 in the morning. They hugged some together, but weren't what you would call very kissy-kissy in public. [But] he is remarkably attentive towards her."

Inside L'Arc, the couple munched on tomato and basil pasta and grilled sole. Clooney's table contained French film legend Catherine Deneuve and actress Juliette Binoche, along with his former pro-westler date. "Ides" costar Phillip Seymour Hoffman was spotted, as was Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco's royal family.

Nikki Reed, Paul McDonald are married after whirlwind romance

Nikki Reed of "Twilight" fame and Paul McDonald of "American Idol" floral-embroidered-suit fame were married Sunday in Malibu, capping a March-October romance that has nothing to do with their relative ages and everything to do with the whirlwind nature of their relationship.

McDonald, 27, and Reed, 23, got engaged over the summer after meeting in March at the premiere of "Little Red Riding Hood," when he was a contestant on the most recent season of "American Idol." They'd moved in together in May.

"Yesterday was the most amazing day of my life," McDonald said Monday on Twitter. "[E]verything was perfect. I'm officially a MARRIED MAN! Woohoo!"

The bride and groom "couldn't be happier" after getting hitched on a private ranch, surrounded by about friends and family, they told Us Weekly on Sunday. Reed's gown was designed by Tacari, Us reported, a bridal jewelry brand (yes, you read that correctly) that also designed the couple's wedding bands and her engagement ring.

And though McDonald maybe was amazed, Reed related a slightly different vibe: "Yesterday was the most magical day of my life," she tweeted Monday.

Congrats, kids. Keep smiling -- and come November, maybe we'll see you both on the "Breaking Dawn -- Part I" red carpet.

Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio call it quits

Oh, Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio. We hardly knew ye.

The mutually blond lovebirds have called it quits after nearly sixth months together, with details scarce, but reps for both actors insisted to outlets including Us Weekly that the pair "remain friends."

Just no longer the friends-with-benefits variety.

Lively is back to work on the CW's "Gossip Girl" after a filming a feature in Los Angeles this summer. DiCaprio remains busy, currently shooting Baz Luhrman's 3D "Great Gatsby" update in Australia and chilling at the top of the year's highest-paid actors list.

After picking up tabloid steam starting in June, DiCaprio and Lively enjoyed quality yacht time at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by street shopping in Monte Carlo.

DiCaprio bounced to Lively on the heels of another "off" with his on-and-off model love Bar Refaeli. Blake previously dated her "Gossip Girl" costar Penn Badgley.

Jennifer Aniston steps out with Justin Theroux, stays mum on Pitt

This post has been updated, as indicated below.

Plenty of things to pack into Jennifer Aniston's file on Tuesday: The actress has reached new creative heights, landed herself a new love and ain't touching recent comments made by ex-husband Brad Pitt.

In essence, she's staying classy, evidenced by the subtle show she made in New York City on Monday night for the premiere of "Five," a series of film shorts about breast cancer's effect. Aniston directed one of the vignettes -- her debut behind the camera, in fact.

"Jennifer holds her own, baby!" said Patricia Clarkson, a veteran of directors including Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen who was one of Aniston's actors in the Lifetime TV project.

While Jen was holding her own, beau Justin Theroux was waiting to hold the door. At Skylight Soho, the couple arrived and departed together, hand-in-hand, according to People.

Though the duo posed for some fan photos, Aniston had no intention of broaching comments recently made by her ex-husband. (Pitt, who intimated to Parade that the two had shared an uninteresting marriage, later retracted the comments as being taken completely out of context.)

"Oh, Lord, it's not even worth discussing on a night like this," she reportedly said on the red carpet. 

Alicia Keys and Demi Moore are also counted as directors on "Five," to air Oct. 10 on Lifetime.

[Updated, 4:20 p.m. Sept. 28: Holy cows, there was a naked paparazzo of some sort in the picture that originally accompanied this post. The Ministry is embarrassed that we didn't notice -- you know how we are about the naughty bits -- and currently procuring an appropriate replacement photo. Thanks to Twitterverse for pointing it out!]

[Updated, 4:45 p.m. Sept. 28: Phew. That's the same photo up above now, only with less, um, background action.]

[Updated 5:08 p.m. Sept. 28: But wait, there's more! Turns out some folks on the red carpet at the event -- which was the premiere of a short-film collection about breast cancer -- were aware they'd been flashed on the red carpet by a woman Page Six identified as topless paparazzo Holly Van Voast. "I think it's actually pretty great ...," actress Clarkson said. "You know, I'm kind of sad I put on a dress."]

Kat Von D sets the record straight: She and Jesse James are over

Kat Von D and Jesse James have called off their engagement once again, and she's definitely not moving to Texas, the former star of "L.A. Ink" has announced.

"I am not in a relationship. (And I apologize for all the 'back and forth' if it's caused any confusion)," she said in a Facebook post Friday aimed at answering some recurring questions and clearing up some of the confusion she says she's faced since the reality show ended Sept. 15.

In the final episode, Von D suggested that she and her West Coast Choppers beau open the "Jesse Von Kat Tattoo and Motorcycle Emporium" in James' neck of the woods, to address some of the problems they were dealing with as they juggled their jobs and a long-distance relationship between L.A. and Austin.

"It was clear to me that we were just on two different paths in life," Von D told People magazine on Saturday, adding, "I wish Jesse nothing but the best in life and in love." The couple, who went public last September and got engaged in January, split up right before the final season of "L.A. Ink" premiered, then got back together in August. James' split from Sandra Bullock, his third wife, was finalized in June 2010.

Other points clarified by Von D: The tattoo artist and gallery owner is not leaving High Voltage Tattoo, not retiring, and not unhappy to have done four seasons of "L.A. Ink."

Pia Toscano, Mark Ballas have called it quits

Are Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas victims of their own success? The singer and the dancer — matched in prime-time competition-show heaven, or at least in the adjacent trailers that park there — have reportedly broken up because they're too busy with work.

Toscano, who competed on the most recent "American Idol," and Ballas, a pro on "Dancing With the Stars," were first seen out on the town together in April, dining at Gulfstream restaurant in Century City.

"They both decided with everything going on that they couldn't give each other what would be fair," a source told People, adding that it was a mutual decision. E! News first reported the breakup.

Ballas, who finished third last season on "DWTS" with partner Chelsea Kane, is currently rehearsing for the show's 13th season with Kristin Cavallari. Ballas previously hit the floor with Bristol Palin.

The American Idols Live! 2011 Tour, which has had Toscano and the gang on the road since early July, wraps up Tuesday in the Philippines. Toscano has also been busy working on her debut album, her rep told E!
