Live Q&As

Hey there. The morning mix is still in the mix. I was out of the office Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so others were just posting occasioanl items to make up for my absence. Unfortunately, with no more Sarah Anne Hughes (sob), I don't have a partner who can run the blog solo when I take time off. So when I'm sick or take vacation, we kind of limp along until I get back.

I apologize. I mentioned on  the Celebritology Facebook page that I would be out. If you haven't "liked it" yet, you may want to do that. I will usually post more personal explanations of what's happening in the blog there  re: schedule changes, etc.

It went fine and you have not missed it. I wrote a short version that will run in Sunday Style; a longer transcript will be pubbed in the blog tomorrow.

Teaser: his response to my question about whether he and Stewart have used their relationship as a Twilight marketing tool is very much in line with how the two have handled relationship questions through this week's press rounds.

Pattinson was pretty loose and jokey, more at ease than he appears during some of the TV interviews.

Tatum's not blond.

We don't know for sure if that Gossip Cop item was accurate. People hasn't confirmed Tatum is the Sexiest Man, because the mag always makes the announcements itself. But if that is correct, man, did they get the wind completely ripped out of their sails.

Well, performing in front of a set that screams "Pink sweetheart bedroom set from Pottery Barn Kids" probably does not help Bieber look sophisticated. Right now, though, that's in his best interest. His core fan base is young. At some point, I do think he'll want to move on, though, and seem older and more serious. Will be interesting to see if he can do it.

I doubt Gomez was mad. And I know this because Selena Gomez tells me everything.

Thanks for asking. I am fine, just took some days off earlier this week.

An oral history of Lost would be amazing. I nominate myself and Liz Kelly to write it. (So not going to happen. Someone else is probably writing it was we speak.)

There are lots of behind-the-scenes oral histories online. The recent one that GQ ran about "Cheers" was amazing.

And the best one in book form, or at least on par with the SNL book, is "I Want My MTV." Pure j0y from beginning to end for those who remember the genesis of the music video era.

As Honey Boo Boo goes, so goes the nation. That's a saying, right?

I can see him being chosen. I had him on my predictions list.

But like I said earlier, if he does get it, it will lack any suspense since the news leaked early. Not that there's a huge suspense factor around SMA, but we have to eke our excitement out of life where we can.

Well, I would be happy to do that but since Raju now works at the Wall Street Journal, I am not sure that would help.

Sorry, y'all. Chat interface is slower than usual for reasons I don't understand.

I'm not worried about getting sued. I have no idea what's going on with the chat today, honestly.

None at all.

Both comparisons are apt. It's a releif to know that the Claire McCaskill movie will be so easy to cast.

Awesomeness.

I am going to confer with others -- and by others, obviously I mean the Fox Decision Desk -- and see what's going on. I may be calling this early as well.

Luvlinsey, I am saddened and hurt. I answer your questions all the time. You're one of my faves.

No sign of Trump unless he's the one responsible for breaking the chat interface.

Sorry again about today, guys. No signs of a fix any time soon. So will be calling this early....

No, they definitely would not be doing that.

Karl Rove, however? Totally ticked that the Celebritology chat didn't go as planned this week.

All right, I give up. I'm going back to writing about Skyfall and hoping that next week's chat  is better.

Thanks again for your patience. If you want to talk further, tweet me -- @celebritology, @chaneyj -- or e-mail (jen.chaney@wpost.com) or just yell really loudly.
