Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have broken up. At least for the moment. Reports say that the Twilight couple has decided to take a break from their off-screen romance. The two were on the rocks last year after photos surfaced of Stewart having a secret affair with Rupert Sanders, her married director in Snow White and the Huntsmen. Stewart took the unusual step of admitting to the affair, and apologized profusely: “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected,” she said in a statement to People. “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.” Stewart and Pattinson managed to weather that rough patch, but their relationship was strained again this year when Robert went to Australia for work and Stewart remained back home in Los Angeles. They were seen together as recently as last month, when they were spotted holding hands at Coachella. Now a source now tells People that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have called it quits, but added that it would not be surprising if they got back together again. Of course, there are some who think that the relationship truly ended last summer, and Stewart and Pattinson just pretended it was still going strong to help the Twilight brand. “Rob & Kristen were asked to not announce a break-up or any relationship trouble until the DVD has been out for a few weeks and everything has sold,” a source revealed to Hollywoodlife back in March. “Since the first couple weeks are the times when the DVD will sell like wildfire. The more DVDs sold, the more money for them. So they are abiding by the request.” There had been increasing signs of trouble for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson before the split. A source told Us Weekly that the couple has been fighting a lot, and Pattinson reportedly even skipped out on the 27th birthday party that Stewart arranged for him.

Chris Brown is getting death threats, and they’ve gotten the attention of the Los Angeles Police Department. Multiple threats against the R&B singer were reportedly phoned to the office of his attorney, Mark Geragos. TMZ reported that the called threatened to kill Brown, though specific details of the death threat were not reported. Geragos took the Chris Brown death threats seriously and called the LAPD, which collected information about the menacing calls. Chris Brown did not appear too phased by the death threats, at least publicly. He’s continued with appearances and his love life remains on the front page of tabloids. Since splitting up with on-again, off-again girlfriend Rihanna, Brown has been in contact with ex-flame Karrueche Tran. The singer tweeted a birthday message, and in response Tran sent a picture from her birthday party last year, rubbing her rear end in Brown’s face. With the picture, Tran included the message: “TBT my birthday last year. Who’s face am I gonna put my a** in this year? Lmao I’m kidding.” Sources say that it appears to be Chris Brown who is pursuing Tran, possibly in an attempt to reunite. “He’s been initiating contact with her, not the other way around,” A source told Hollywood Life. Earlier Rihanna and Chris Brown appeared to be in a bit of a war of words via social media. Rihanna posted a message to Instagram that seemed to be aimed at Brown: “If I drop all of my hoes for you and we still don’t work out you owe me some hoes.” But in more recent days Rihanna seems over the split as she works hard on her tour and looks to be in good spirits. She did get into a bit of controversy when New York Knicks fans accused her of partying too much with guard J.R Smith. Rihanna blasted back in an Instagram message, saying that it wasn’t her fault Smith was clubbing too much during the NBA playoffs. The LAPD is still investigating the Chris Brown death threats.

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is no “pro” on the stripper pole. Good to know, Hermione. While promoting her new film The Bling Ring at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, Watson joked that she’s not exactly a pro on the stripper pole, referencing a scene in the Sofia Coppola flick wherein she performs on Paris Hilton’s stripper pole dance floor. Fully-clothed, by the way. “If you watched the film, I’m hardly a pro pole dancer,” Watson said of her moves. ”I actually look pretty bad doing it.” Regardless, The Bling Ring is the latest in a series of artistic risks Watson is taking to break Harry Potter’s spell on her career and re-invent herself as a versatile, dramatic actress. The 23-year-old has been taking on more provocative roles in films like The Bling Ring, which features a group of celebrity-obsessed Los Angeles kids who track their Hollywood idols on the Internet so they can rob them blind. Coppola said that she was impressed with Watson’s performance, and said that the pole dancing scene was crucial to her character. “The pole dancing exercises was part of that culture,” said Coppola. “I wanted to show that whole universe.” Watson also talked a bit about what her recent roles are teaching her about herself. “You sort of accept certain things about your personality,” Watson said. “I don’t need to beat myself up about not wanting to go out (at night). I thought there was something quite peculiar about me because I was this insular person. But that’s just how I am. You learn to be okay with the way you are.” So is Watson planning on getting her own stripper pole so she can practice her moves? “Shockingly no,” she laughed. “But who knows? Anything can happen. I might be totally different in a year.” Are you a fan of Emma Watson? [Image via: Featurflash / Shutterstock] Emma Watson Jokes She’s No ‘Pro’ On The Stripper Pole is a post from: The Inquisitr

Kelly Rowland is apparently very close to signing a deal with X Factor. Rumors have been circulating that the singer and Destiny’s Child member was being courted for the singing competition. Although nothing official has been announced, the folks at Entertainment Weekly are reporting that Rowland’s involvement is pretty much a done deal. The search for a pair of new judges began after both Britney Spears and L.A. Reid decided to bid farewell to The X Factor last season. Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell are both expected to return for another go-around. As Kelly Rowland works out the finer details of her deal with folks at FOX, producers continue to search for someone to fill the other vacancy. Rumors suggest that singer and actress Paulina Rubio is being considered as a judge. Again, nothing about these reports has been confirmed or denied by FOX or producers as of this writing. Last month, internet rumors suggested that Client List star Jennifer Love Hewitt was up for one of the positions on The X Factor. According to Us Weekly, Simon Cowell was reportedly interested in getting her to sign on for the show. Reba McEntire was also said to be in the running. Cowell almost had to fill three vacancies on the competition after last season. Demi Lovato revealed earlier this month that she considered parting ways with the program since it was causing her a fair amount of stress. “I didn’t want to lose because I’m that girl that’s so competitive with people, and I didn’t want to lose to Simon especially it being my first year on the ‘X Factor.’ Of course, I was out right away. I want to see new talent and I want to be a part of that journey again,” she explained. Are you a fan of Kelly Rowland? What do you think about the singer’s involvement with The X Factor?

Christine Lamson White, an actress who appeared on one of the most famous Twilight Zone episodes, has died at the age of 86. According to her obituary, White died on April 14 in a nursing home in Washington D.C. A cause of death was not stated. White appeared on the Twilight Zone episode “Terror at 20,000 Feet,” playing the wife of William Shatner’s character. Shatner played a man who had just recovered from a nervous breakdown and was fresh out of a sanitarium. He expressed fear over flying, but White’s character attempted to assuage him. As they took flight, Shatner’s character seemed to begin suffering yet another nervous breakdown, which included witnessing a gremlin on the wing of the craft. “Terror at 20,000 Feet” is one of the most widely known Twilight Zone episodes to have ever aired, and the plot was recreated for the fourth segment of the 1983 film Twilight Zone: The Movie. In the film, John Lithgow plays Shatner’s role, but is merely a nervous flyer and does not appear to have a wife with him on the flight. White also made an appearance in another Twilight Zone episode, “The Prime Mover.” Thoughts go out to the family of my Twilight Zone co-star Christine Lamson. MBB — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) May 19, 2013 She made several other appearances in the James Dean TV film, Bonanza, The Frank Sinatra Show and Vice Squad. She majored in English in college and acted in school plays. She became more interested in acting, and eventually got a Master’s degree in speech and drama. She is survived by her nieces and nephews.

The New York Knicks had aspirations of winning the NBA finals this season. Or, at the very least, matching head-to-head with the loaded Miami Heat in the playoffs. Now the Knicks will get neither after a second-round exit and a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers. The series came to an end on Saturday night when the Pacers closed out Game 6, despite 39 points from Carmelo Anthony. “It’s tough,” Anthony said. “We all know what was the goal that we had set. Everybody wants to go to the championship, win the championship, that’s the ultimate goal. Unfortunately our run had to stop here.” The loss wasn’t too unexpected. The Pacers have amassed a physical team with great defensive players like Roy Hibbert, and are looked at as having a decent chance against the Miami Heat. But for a Knicks team that finished with its best record in years, and won its first playoff series in close to a decade, it was still a major disappointment. The Knicks could still come back after the difficult end to the season. Anthony is closing in on his 29th birthday and still at the top of his game. “My career is far from over,” Anthony said after the loss to the Pacers on Saturday, “so I’m not really concerned about that. I still got a lot more time in this league.” But the Knicks will have plenty of competition, and 2013 may have been the best chance for a championship. The Bulls will be back in contention next year with the return of Derrick Rose, and the Heat — who now seem to have an easy path to a second NBA championship — will return as the team to beat. And aside from Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks roster is far from stacked. The team has question marks at many positions, and the league’s oldest roster will need some major retooling. Marcus Camby, Jason Kidd, and Amar’e Stoudemire are locked in for two years while Steve Novak is on board for three. But for the Knicks to avoid another disappointing finish in 2014, Carmelo will need a major piece to complement him a la Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City.

A dead man recently woke up during his own funeral in Zimbabwe. Brighton Dama Zanthe had been feeling extremely unwell when he reportedly died at his home. He was laid to rest inside a coffin as his family made funeral arrangements. However, the dead man began waking up as family members made their way past the casket during his funeral. One person reportedly saw the 34-year-old man’s legs twitching and quickly alerted others. When relatives realized he was still alive, they summoned an ambulance to the scene. “I was the first to notice Zanthe’s moving legs as I was in the queue to view his body. This shocked me. We called an ambulance immediately. It’s a miracle and people are still in disbelief,” Lot Gaka explained. The dead man woke up shortly before his body was scheduled to be transported to a funeral parlor. He was soon taken to an area hospital where he was placed on life support. After two days of treatment and observation, doctors finally allowed Zanthe to return home. The man explained that he doesn’t have any recollection of dying or coming back to life. He said he remembers waking up inside the hospital, but nothing else. Zanthe believes that he’s been given a second chance at life. “Everything is history to me. What I can only confirm is that people gathered at my house to mourn but I was given another chance and I am alive. I feel okay now,” the former dead man said. Although you’d think this sort of thing wouldn’t happen too often, The Inquisitr reported last year about a Brazilian man who showed up alive and well for his funeral. After hearing rumors that he had been killed, Gilberto Marcos decided to pay a visit to the ceremony. Several people reportedly fainted when he walked through the door. In March of this year, a dead prostitute in Zimbabwe woke up shortly after being placed inside a casket. When one of her clients told authorities that she passed away during sex, they quickly loaded her body into a coffin. The woman soon woke up and accused everyone of trying to kill her.

Yahoo! Inc.’s board has reportedly approved Yahoo! to buy Tumblr for $1.1  billion cash. The agreement will include a provision that Tumblr will continue to operate independently of Yahoo!. Marissa Mayer, Yahoo! Chief executive, hopes the acquisition will secure increased revenue, through the social networking market. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, details about the acquisition are expected to be announced tomorrow. Tumblr allows users to post photos, text, quotes, links, music, and videos, from computers and mobile devices. As explained on Tumblr.com, the posts are fully customizable using preset themes or HTML. David Karp, founder and CEO, created Tumblr in February 2007. The application is available in 12 different languages. In the last six years, over 50 billion posts and over 100 million blogs have been created using Tumbler. They currently have 175 employees. Yahoo! was founded by Messers, Filo, and Yang. The three men dropped out of school and started the company with an initial investment of $2 million. “Yahoo” means, literally, “rude, unsophisticated, uncouth.” As reported by The Wall Street Journal, MyYahoo was launched in 1996, allowing users to personalize their homepage with information including weather reports, stock quotes, local news, and horoscopes. Yahoo! had a good start into the industry. However, by 2012, under the direction of CEO Scott Thompson, Yahoo! was forced to cut close to 2,000 jobs. Thompson eventually resigned over accusations that he falsified information about his background, including his computer science degree. In July of 2012, Marissa Mayer was named as Thompson’s replacement. Mayer’s strategy for revitalization includes Yahoo! buying Tumblr for $1.1 billion cash. Over the last year she has sanctioned the purchase of several smaller companies, but the purchase of Tumblr will be the largest acquisition under her direction. Yahoo! executives reportedly expect the purchase to “jump-start its revenue growth and obtain a bigger presence in social media tied to digital devices.” Reports that Yahoo! will buy Tumblr for $1.1 billion are expected to be confirmed and further detailed in an announcement tomorrow.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez stepped out together in Las Vegas last night (May 18). The pair, widely thought to be more than ex-lovers and just good friends, went to the Mirage to see Cirque du Soleil’s Love, a production celebrating the music of The Beatles. Just before the show began, Bieber, and presumably Gomez, tried to slip inside unnoticed. But a bystander yelled out the Canadian’s name, a source tells People. The source added that as soon as the show started, the Spring Breakers actress began “nuzzling right into” her rumored beau. The pair apparently knocked back an assortment of M&M candies and Mike and Ike, eased down with Sprite and apple juice. It’s unclear why that’s important. Both Bieber, 19, and Gomez, 20, are performing at the Billboard Music Awards tonight. Widely believed to be sitting next to each other at the show, they are expected to be joined by mutual friend Taylor Swift in the front row. Evidently up for mingling on awards eve, the “Boyfriend” singer also hung out with five-division boxing world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather and his daughter Iyanna on Saturday. As boxing fans will recall, Bieber walked Mayweather into the ring for his May 5 fight last year against Miguel Cotto (which he later won), along with rappers Lil Wayne and 50 Cent. Iyanna, who celebrated her 13th birthday on Saturday, is a Bieber fan and has met the singer a number of times. Back in September, she famously received a peck on the cheek from the teen star at his Believe tour concert in Las Vegas. Obligingly dropping in on the celebrations last night, Bieber posed for pictures with the birthday girl and Mayweather. The delighted father later tweeted: Nothing but the best for my daughter @moneyyaya. Thank you @justinbieber. Welcome to Las Vegas.
