Kristen Stewart Causes Courtroom Drama

Kristen Stewart fans can't even contain themselves in a court of law! According to People, the Twilight star recently served on a Los Angeles jury in a three-day trial during which a security guard reportedly asked to take a picture with Kristen. She agreed, but when the photo was posted on the Internet, it put the security guard in danger of losing his job.

Why was Kristen even in the courtroom in the first place? Well, when people are accused of a crime, they are entitled to a trial in front of a jury of peers. This group of peers is made up of American citizens over the age of 18, who are required to perform this service on occasion. Although Kristen is a celebrity, she is still a member of the community and was selected as a juror.

So what's the problem? According to the L.A. Superior Court, the use of cameras inside the courtroom is prohibited -- you're not allowed to take photos at all. As for what went down, a court spokeswoman told People that the court doesn't comment on jurors, and Kristen's rep had no comment.

Should the security guard be fired?

'Alice in Wonderland' Comes to Life in Concert

Thanks to Walt Disney Pictures and Hot Topic, fans of Alice in Wonderland will get to experience the film at a special musical event, featuring Never Shout Never, Metro Station, 3OH!3, Family Force 5 and Kerli! The artists, who all have songs on the film's soundtrack 'Almost Alice,' will perform live at the Hollywood and Highland Center in L.A. on February 19 at 5 p.m.

In addition to the sweet set, Tim Burton will be on hand to introduce cast members and a sneak peek of the actual movie! Guests will also get to hang out in a virtual Wonderland on the third floor of the Hollywood and Highland Center, as it will be transformed into a full Alice in Wonderland-themed environment.

We know, it's kind of unfair that this is only going down in L.A., but fans who can't be there will have the chance to stream the entire event via Ustream. Gotta love the Internet!

'Almost Alice' will be available in stores on March 2, while Alice in Wonderland opens in theaters on March 5. We're less than a month away!

Which Super Bowl Commercial Was the Funniest?

The New Orleans Saints had an amazing game on Sunday, beating out the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. But the action of Super Bowl 44 wasn't just on the field -- it was in between plays when some amazing commercials from Doritos, Monster.com and PopSecret/Emerald Nuts aired.

There were plenty of memorable commercials, but we've picked five that had us cracking up. PopSecret and Emerald Nuts combined forces and showed humans doing tricks for snacks. Their tag line was "Awesome + Awesome = Awesomer." This was super silly, but still gave us a good chuckle.

Monster.com tried to show that no matter who you are, the job website can help you get on the right path. In their spot, we see a beaver who's got more talent than just building dams. He's a violinist, and after using the job website, he scored a, um, better life.

'Dear John' Dethrones 'Avatar' at the Box Office

In its opening weekend, Dear John beat out Avatar for the No. 1 spot at the box office. The Nicholas Sparks adaptation starring Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum took in $32.4 million, while Avatar came in second with $23.6 million.

After eight-weeks in theaters, Avatar has earned a whopping $630.1 million, but these most recent numbers may be a sign that people are over the Na'vi people and ready for romance (Valentine's Day is this weekend after all).

However, Amanda thinks that Dear John is "different" from other romance films, and ultimately, audiences are want to see inspiring movies no matter what they're about.

"I know Avatar is a huge blockbuster and everyone wants to see it and everyone is inspired by that, but that is unique," she says. "I know obviously it's in theaters today, but that is just a really unique film and it brings so much inspiration. I think [Dear John] is the type of movie that normally does [inspire] and isn't out enough."

Amanda and Channing had a lot more to say about the film and their future projects. Read more from our exclusive interview with the Dear John stars here!

Paul Wesley: Don't Compare Me to Robert Pattinson

Good looks. Check. Experience playing a vampire. Check. Middle name Thomas. Check. Only has sisters. Check. Seems like Robert Pattinson would be Paul Wesley's first choice to play him in the movie version of his life, right? Wrong.

"Robert Pattinson is the like the last person I want to be compared with," he told Seventeen magazine. "I think any girl would throw me under a bus to be within five feet of Robert Pattinson. I actually think he's an attractive guy. And I watched most of Twilight, and I think he was really intriguing."

Jealous much? We're think a lot of girls would prefer Paul to Rob, but it sounds like the Vampire Diaries star is a Pattinson fan after all. But despite their similarities, Paul insists his show is no Twilight 2.0. "The books were written 15 years ago - before Twilight. It's a very original story, and it's important to me that my character and the whole story's judged for what it is."

Cory Monteith and Taylor Swift Are Still Single...We Think

Fans of a 'Tory' romance will be bummed out. Reports say Taylor Swift and Cory Monteith are strictly in the friend zone. Even though they dined together at Jerry's Deli in Los Angeles, the sparks aren't flying for the singing stars.

And now E! reports that Cory was spotted entering a club in L.A. last week with a girl and it definitely looked as though they were on a date. Fellow Glee star, Mark Salling was there as well.

The Taylor/Cory relationship fake-out got us to thinking though Which Glee song best describes the non-existent romance between Cory, 27, and the popular country star, 20?

'Don't Stand So Close To Me/Young Girl' is an obvious choice, but with lyrics like, "I work hard every day of my life" and "Can anybody find me somebody to love?," we think the Queen cover, 'Somebody to Love' best describes Tory's short-lived relationship. And maybe that dinner was strictly business to discuss Taylor's future appearance on Glee.
