Robert Pattinson's Surprise House Call


A family of "Twilight" fans got the surprise of a lifetime when Robert Pattinson dropped by their house unannounced earlier this week.

Maria Mele was responsible for the visit after sending pictures to Oprah Winfrey of her family looking just like the fictional Cullens from the vampire series.
Mele, from Naperville, Illinois, sent in the snaps in hope of getting tickets to Oprah's Twilight special, to be aired May 13, but instead R Patz himself came knocking at their door.

"[My family and I] all lost it," Mele told People magazine of the visit on Tuesday. "[We were] screaming like a bunch of maniacs. We were all amazed that he was in our house."

"Robert was genuinely happy to fulfill our dream. I still can't believe it," Maria adds. "It's something we will never forget. I have to say although Oprah and Robert were great, hearing my kids say 'thanks for making this happen' [was] absolutely priceless."

Christina Aguilera: Big Apple Dinner Date


Following a full day's worth of activities, Christina Aguilera was spotted fitting in a quality night out with husband Jordan Bratman in New York City on Friday (May 7).

Leaving little Max in good hands, the "Genie in a Bottle" babe and her man ventured off to a local restaurant to fill themselves up before imbibing on an evening on the town.
Earlier in the day, Miss Aguilera stopped by "The Oprah Winfrey Show" at Radio City Music Hall to talk about motherhood, charity endeavors and her time off post child birth.

"I like to take time between records and just live life for a moment, just gather my thoughts, my inspiration, and figure out what the next record is going to be," Christina said. "I just take those moments to live life so I can be even more inspired as an artist."

As for her thoughts on ladies, the blonde beauty tells, "I think as women, our bodies go through such amazing things, and we are superhuman. We give life, we give birth, we are our child's source of everything. Our bodies are not our own for a time period, and we givingly and willingly do so for our child. But then when we get them back, you feel that much stronger and that much better and more confident. Sure, I have a difference in my body than before, but I'm more confident in that."

She continued, "I'm the most clumsy person in the world. I do trip a lot. I fall. I walk into walls sometimes. When did I stop being okay? I am fine. I am happy and I am working. And I'm good. And I'm surrounded by great friends now. You know, I have weeded out a lot of people in my life."

Nina Dobrev Shows Off Her Flexible Frame


Showing off her flexibility, Nina Dobrev was spotted out getting a little exercise in New York City on Friday (May 7).

The "Vampire Diaries" hottie was all decked out in her Under Armour workout gear as she found a grassy perch to do some stretches in between jogging
In related news, Miss Dobrev recently spoke with Hollywood Crush about her thoughts on the on-screen relationship between Damon and Elena.

"Everyone wants what they can't have in some way, because it's unattainable. So right now, the fact that Elena and Damon aren't together is what's enticing, what people want," she tells.

"The relationship that Elena and Damon have is so wishy-washy, up and down, all over the page," Nina continues. "At first she hated him because he was killing everyone she knows, then she sort of started to understand him because she realized that every person has different qualities — good, bad, ups downs — and that everything he's doing, he's doing for his love. For Katherine, to get Katherine back. So there's a reason, it's not justified, but it's explained, it makes sense... Well sort of."
