While their co-stars are overseas promoting in Paris, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were doing their part to boost interest in “New Moon” in San Francisco on Monday (November 9).

The Alice Cullen actress and Emmett Cullen hunk happily posed for pictures and greeting screaming fans during visits to both Nordstrom and Hot Topic.

Meanwhile, Miss Greene recently marveled at the current “Twilight” popularity - noting that her pet pooch is even famous from her movie stardom.

She tells, “It’s crazy, right? I think my dog is more famous than a lot of stars out there. I bet some people in Hollywood are like, ‘I can’t get my picture in a mag, but Ashley’s pooch [Marlo] does?’. It’s mind-boggling.”

Chad Dylan Cooper is the obvious star of this show.

In her memoir, “Still Standing,” the former Miss California recounts her infamous response about gay marriage at the 2009 Miss USA competition. An excerpt.

My moment of truth
“Next, let’s have California, Carrie Prejean.” I looked directly at Billy Bush, Access Hollywood star and host of the Miss USA 2009 pageant. I strode over to the center of the stage, trying to display ease and confidence.

Beneath the smile, however, my stomach churned with anxiety. When you’re on stage like that, though the bright lights blur out the crowd, you’re in a proverbial fish bowl: all eyes are on you. The lights make you want to squint, but you try to smile and walk across the stage naturally, even though you’ve practiced this same walk ten thousand times before.

This was my last test. We were down to five semi-finalists. One of us would be crowned Miss USA. Answering any question before a world audience of seven million people is going to be hard; mine would be a lot harder than I could have imagined.

I stepped forward and reached into a glass bowl and removed the folded card that would reveal the identity of my questioner. It was Judge Number Eight — Perez Hilton, self-styled celebrity blogger and professional gossip.

“Are we worried?” asked the co-host, actress Nadine Velazquez. “You should be,” a deep voice said into a microphone. I turned to face Perez Hilton, a jowly, boyish-looking man with blond highlights in his hair. It was his deep voice that had given me this warning — no doubt half in jest, but half menacingly too.

He asked his question: “Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”

The fate of same-sex marriage collided with a dysfunctional political process in Albany on Tuesday as the State Senate delayed a vote on a bill that would make it legal for gay and lesbian couples to marry in New York, putting the issue off indefinitely.

Though Gov. David A. Paterson put the bill on the agenda for an emergency session that convened Tuesday and gay rights advocates had been aggressively lobbying for an immediate vote, the legislation’s prospects have grown more complex in recent days. Supporters have had difficulty securing the 32 votes they need for approval in the Senate, and a dispute between Mr. Paterson and legislative leaders over how to close a budget deficit that now exceeds $3 billion has held up votes on major legislation.

It remained unclear when — or if — the Senate would take up the marriage bill. Wednesday is Veterans Day, a holiday, and legislators were heading back to their districts late Tuesday. Mr. Paterson said he was hopeful an agreement could be reached on cutting the deficit by Monday, meaning that the Legislature could return to Albany early next week to vote on both the budget and the marriage bill.

“Hopefully next week we clear this up,” Mr. Paterson said.

Darren Manzella saw two tours of duty in Iraq, first as a combat medic and later as a liaison officer. He earned three promotions in his six years as a U.S. Army sergeant.

Despite his professional success, Manzella says he began to question his personal life.

"After returning from my first deployment in Iraq, after seeing death and violence, losing friends and comrades, it really made me look over my life," he said. "I looked at some issues I had always had trouble with. I had debated, 'Am I gay?' "

As he struggled with his sexual identity, Manzella began a relationship with a man. Soon after, while in Texas between tours, Manzella said he began receiving anonymous, harassing e-mails and telephone calls.

"They told me, 'You are stupid, the Army is going to kick you out, but before they do, they are going to take your rank away and all your money away.' "

WB Italy has released the first deleted scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince--an eerie clip of the Hogwarts students and professors as darkness falls on the castle. Watch it here.

Two other behind-the-scenes clips have also been released: Emma Watson receiving a Dark Mark and Rupert Grint summarizing the first six movies.


Emma getting a dark mark

Rupert summarizing Ron from movies 1-6.

WTF out of all the scenes they could have removed in the movie they picked the most beautiful one to cut. I thought this was gorgeous.

Also, can Rupert possibly be any more adorable? I think the Behind The Scenes footage of this DVD is going to be worth it this time around. It seems like their definitely going to be including the cast more.

Will Smith, I know you’re pissed about not winning Oscars for Ali or Pursuit of Happyness, but please, PLEASE do not do the Oscar equivalent of strapping dynamite to yourself and threatening to blow yourself up if the Academy doesn’t bend to your will and finally toss you a golden statue.

Don’t do it, Will. You’re better than that. PLEASE don’t star as a mentally retarded person in an Oscar-baiting film. Will, please… what are you… No… NOOOO….

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to our inside source, The Hollywood Cog, Smith is set to produce and star in Flowers for Algernon, a modern-day adaptation of the Daniel Keyes’ novel.

The short story (and the subsequent novel) is about Charlie, a mentally retarded man who is the first human test subject for an experimental surgery that artificially increases intelligence…

Flowers For Algernon, if you somehow made it through high school with your eyes closed and fingers in your ears the entire time, is an excellent short story from the 50s that was adapted into a mediocre novel in the 60s and subsequent 1968 film that already won Cliff Robertson a Best Actor Oscar.

I’m being nothing but serious, Will Smith, when I say: NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU PLAY A MENTALLY HANDICAPPED PERSON. It’s been a cliched Oscar joke for two decades, an earlier film adaptation already won a damn Oscar, and you’re Will freaking Smith and hearing you talk like a mentally retarded person is going to make us all laugh really, really, really hard.

Wait a minute, now I’m picturing it. And laughing out loud. Oh man, this is a sweet mental trailer-picture. “Wewcome 2 Ewth!!!” Hehehe… On second thought…

GO FOR IT WILL!!!! Slur those words, be confused by simple concepts but understand love and GET THAT ELUSIVE OSCAR!!!!
