Kristen Stewart and Donald Trump go way back. So far back, in fact, that Donald was pretty emotionally invested in her relationship with Robert Pattinson in 2012. During Kristen's SNL hosting gig this week, the Personal Shopper actress pointed out that she doesn't think the president "likes me very much." How did she know this, you ask? Well, during her very public split with Robert (Kristen was caught cheating on him with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders), Donald sent out a series of tweets encouraging Robert to leave Kristen and even invited him to the 2012 Miss Universe pageant. Just in case you doubted the validity of Kristen's statements, ahead are all of the tweets Donald posted about Kristen and Robert. Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch. He can do much better! -...

Los Angeles (AP) A squeaky-clean member of the Jonas Brothers no more, Nick Jonas is embracing his solo career and beefed-up image makeover. "It's a big transition,'' Jonas said in a recent interview. "I am stepping into what is really like starting over and that's exhilarating, but also really frightening.'' Fans may remember the former Disney star as the youngest brother in the successful pop trio that split last October. Now 22, Jonas is launching his next chapter, which includes a self-titled album, out Nov. 11, and the much talked-about, Marky Mark-inspired photo shoot for Flaunt magazine. "It was pretty interesting to watch the reaction,'' Jonas said of the revealing photos. "I feel like the best way to approach it is to not take it too seriously.''

Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo is facing possible charges in India over a fashion photo shoot at the Taj Mahal in India, but she says the fault doesn't lay with her. Authorities in India filed a complaint after Culpo posed for several photos, wearing various pairs of shoes, for the Miss Universe organization.
It's against the law in India to use the Taj Mahal for any sort of publicity or commercial purposes. Miss Universe has already apologized for the shoot, saying the whole thing was a misunderstand and that they meant no offense. Now, Culpo has her own comments. In an interview with the Providence Journal in Rhode Island, Culpo says she wasn't responsible for the shoot.
"I mean, I'm an employee of the Miss Universe organization and following directions given to me," she says. "I guess their vision was, 'What's better to identify India than the Taj Mahal?'...

No trip to India is complete without a visit to the memorial to eternal love, the Taj Mahal. Just make sure you're going to soak in the architectural majesty. All other ulterior motives should be left at the hotel.
Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo, toured the popular attraction on Sunday (Oct. 6) and for the first hour she took in the monument like any other tourist would. Trouble arose when she reached the marble platform* near the Central Tank, a spot popular for picture-taking as the Taj Mahal can be seen prominently in the background.
At this point, reports say that her entourage brought out a bag full of footwear and Culpo posed wearing several different pairs. More shoes were photographed sitting on the bench beside her.
Unquestionably tacky, from the looks of things it also violated India's Supreme Court directives prohibiting the Taj from being used for any branding or publicity purposes.

Oh, dear. Miss Venezuela has become an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons, due to her bizarre bumbling at the Miss Universe competition.

Miss USA Olivia Culpo may have taken the Miss Universe 2012 crown on Wednesday (Dec. 19), but her pageant beginnings just over a year ago were somewhat meager.
"My parents didn't think it was a good idea," she tells Us Weekly of her first pageant -- Miss Rhode Island -- in October 2011 when she was a sophomore at Boston University. "And I ended up getting my dress the night before. It was a $20 Rent-the-Runway gown that was too short [and had] a hole in the back of it."
"I was studying acting in college, and I figured [pageants] would help my stage performance and my ability to perform for others, so I just went for it," Culpo says.
The now-20-year-old won the Miss Rhode Island title, followed by Miss USA in June. And she says none of the wins would have been possible without Miss Universe pageant co-host Giuliana Rancic.

At long last, a real meal!
After months of following a strict high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, Olivia Culpo, who was crowned Miss Universe 2012 on Wednesday night, revealed to TMZ the contents of Thursday's much-deserved victory meal. The Rhode Island native ordered room service, feasting on penne pasta with chicken and red sauce (carbs: check), bread (more carbs: check) and half a cupcake (sweets, which before Thursday were limited to pineapple and yogurt: check).
Culpo, who attends Boston University, said she was planning to indulge in some cookie dough ice cream as well but refrained. She said she plans to go all out and eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup soon.
After winning Miss USA in June, Culpo revealed her relatively sparse diet to Shape magazine. It consisted of meal replacement bars, mashed sweet potatoes, green vegetables, unsalted almonds (her "go-to snack"), yogurt, pineapple and bananas. The food she missed most?...

Olivia Culpo, Miss USA and winner of Miss Universe 2012, had no qualms about rocking her bikini on the pageant stage. In case you were wondering how she maintains those killer abs, Shape magazine has the beauty queen's daily diet plan.
Culpo eats a high protein, low carbohydrate diet and carries around meal replacement bars for the extra protein boost. "No offense to the 90-calorie ones, but they just don't do it for me," she says.
At home, Olivia will make herself some mashed sweet potatoes, and top with a little cayenne pepper and some Greek yogurt. In order to aid digestion of the necessary green veggies, Culpo prefers to use the steamer rather than eat them raw.
Olivia says her favorite on-the-go-snack is raw, unsalted almonds. When she can afford to stop and use a spoon, Culpo loves to eat yogurt because "it's low in sugar and high in protein.

While Miss Venezuela didn't take home the Miss Universe 2012 title Wednesday night, she should win an award for Most Awkward Appearance as a Contestant on a Donald Trump-produced Televised Beauty Pageant.

The Miss Universe 2012 pageant was relatively uneventful, minus a handful of the requisite head scratch moments -- like Train's entire performance, and Miss USA, Olivia Culpo's explanation of why she's a "normal person": "Any joke, I'll get it."
One part of the competition that seemed like a joke was the question and answer round between the judges and the five finalists.
While Miss Venezuela and Miss Brazil both utilized interpreters for this round, Miss Venezuela, Irene Sofia Esser Quintero, made a bold attempt at answering her question in English. She gets an A for effort, but her answer to judge Diego Boneta's question was barely intelligible -- and that may be a generous description.
Here is the transcript of the moment that harkens back to a certain Miss Teen USA's maps and education speech:
Diego Boneta:
"If you could make a new law, what would it be?...

This may be a cuteness overload for one photo, but we'll take it. The newly crowned Miss Universe 2012, Miss USA Olivia Culpo, participated in her first photo-op just minutes after receiving the title, and it just so happened to be with our choice of Best Dressed for the night—Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Giggy! "As soon as she was crowned, the new Miss Universe wanted to get Giggy with it," the pooch's mama, Lisa Vanderpump, said. With her new (and blingtastic) Diamond Nexus crown on her head and ear-to-ear smile, Culpo posed in front of the holiday decorated stage with her furry little friend, who wore a fitted tuxedo. What an adorable pair, right?...

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump told HuffPost Live Tuesday that she doesn't watch Kim Kardashian's reality show, but that she "did see her porn film" and that it was "really interesting."
Vanderpump is slated to be a celebrity judge for the upcoming Miss Universe 2012 pageant alongside Scott Disick, the longtime boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian and father of her two children, Mason and Penelope.
"You know, Lisa, one of your fellow celebrity judges is Scott Disick, of Kardashian fame, are you a fan of the Kardashians?" HuffPost Live host Alicia Menendez asked.
"I would love to say I am -- I've met them -- but having businesses that are open kind of 18 hours a day, I hardly get the time, you know, to go to the bathroom. I mean, it's hard enough for me to watch my own show ... I have to say, honestly no, I'm not.
