Lady Gaga Under Fire After 'PopStarsDontEat' Comment

Pop star's post-workout tweet criticized by eating-disorder association.
By John Mitchell

<P>What was clearly intended as a jokey tweet lamenting the rigorous diet and exercise routine she is currently undertaking to prepare for her 110-date Born This Way Ball has put Lady Gaga in the crosshairs of some angry fans and eating-disorder organizations. </P><P> </P><P>On Tuesday, the pop star tweeted, "Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger #PopSingersDontEat #IWasBornThisWay." Some fans thought the tweet wasn't exactly keeping with the pop star's "You're perfect the way you are" message and that her choice of the "#PopStarsDontEat" hashtag could be misinterpreted as encouraging eating disorders because she posits herself as a role model to her fans. </P><P> </P><P> </P><P> </P><P>The National Eating Disorder Association even weighed in, hitting its own Twitter account to write, "Huh? This is the same person who recently implored girls to stop dieting?" </P><P> </P><P><b><i>MTV Buzzworthy has an Open Letter To Lady Gaga</b></i> </P><P> </P><P>While it seems clear that Gaga was joking &#8212; who hasn't dove into a salad wishing it was something else? &#8212; the comment does appear out of character for the star, who has spoken publicly about her own struggles with an eating disorder as a teen. </P><P> </P><P>Using that particular hashtag might have been a poor choice, but it's safe to say Lady Gaga wasn't knowingly making light of eating disorders &#8212; and, otherwise, wasn't she mostly just encouraging exercise and healthy eating? </P><P> </P><P>Gaga tweets often about all sort of less-than-healthful habits, from drinking ("after 12 margaritas my phone was confiscated") to, well, other things ("princess xena of xanaxland has lil secrets in her inbox"). Why she is being scrutinized for making an observation about something we already know &#8212; that celebrities engage in intense fitness regimens to meet the unrealistic expectations placed on their appearance &#8212; is kind of a mystery. </P><P> </P><P>But, you know, totally appropriate and necessary reason for outrage, everyone. </P><P> </P><P><i>Sound off on Gaga's #PopSingersDontEat tweet in the comments below!</i></p>

Ben Foster Talks Sex, Victimizing And Connecting For His New Movie '360'

Beyonce's Night Out: Breaking Down Her 'Tasteful' Look

Fashion expert weighs in on B's post-baby style during a President Obama fundraiser.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>All the single ladies: Put your hands up and show Beyonc&#233; some love for looking so smoking hot just 10 weeks after giving birth to her baby girl, Blue Ivy. </P><P> </P><P>After multiple sightings of the star out and about in NYC since she first emerged at a Jay-Z's post-Carnegie Hall party, the singer got all dolled up to hang out with first lady Michelle Obama in Manhattan on Monday night. </P><P> </P><P>The first lady of hip-hop and the <i>actual</i> first lady gathered at the Greenwich Hotel for a fundraising event for President Obama. Along with raising some dough, Beyonc&#233; also raised eyebrows, thanks to her slamming post-baby body. Decked out in a body-hugging navy dress by Victoria Beckham, B rocked sky-high heels, dazzling bling (including a diamond-encrusted eagle) and her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail. So what was Beyonc&#233; doing right in terms of styling herself as a new mom? </P><P> </P><P>"When you think of all the things women dislike about themselves, the majority don't like their upper arms and also have skirt-length issues, so she's addressed both of these. It's an interesting choice because it's snug, not tight," celebrity stylist Robert Verdi told MTV News about B's post-baby style. "There's a distinction. It's body-flattering, for sure. </P><P> </P><P>"It's also a very tasteful length: 2 inches above the knee. It's also a very conservative color, and it's very covered, but it still remains very sexy," he continued about the look. "You don't see all the bumps that women have post-pregnancy. ... Again, the distinction is it's body-conscious without revealing every lump and bump. Tight ain't right, but this ain't tight. This is body-skimming." </P><P> </P><P>With Beyonc&#233; heading back into the spotlight more and more, including a set of shows planned for Memorial Day weekend, does Verdi think Queen B will reassess her stage style now that she's a mom? </P><P> </P><P>"She's really young, and ... her equity is in her sex appeal, so you can't dismiss that," Verdi said. "She's not going to cover up. I think you've seen a similar evolution with Madonna, where fashion is sexy but is more intellectual. It's not as in-your-face. I think you're going to see the same thing with her. You evolve, but I don't think you stop being an attractive woman because you've had a child." </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think of B's post-baby style? Let us know in the comments!</i></p>

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa: Divorce Official

It looks as if all hope is lost for Kobe Bryantand his ex-wife Vanessa after sources say that the two are still expected to go through with their divorce.

The couple looked as though they may try and reconcile their love after sharing a kiss on Valentine?s Day and attending the LA Kings playoff game with their daughters yesterday (April 15).

Lakers dream boy said that the two are ?really good friends? and that they are still in love, but his estranged wife still fancies the idea of a permanent split and is expected to walk away with all three of their Newport mansions along with $75 million in cash.

Friends say that he is trying desperately to save the marriage, promising Vanessa that he will never cheat again. Looks like it?s too late buddy!

In recent news, the 33-year-old athlete is still sitting out for the Lakers but did practice some shooting today (April 16) during practice. He?s not expected to play at home on Tuesday, according to a NBA official.

This is the sixth game that he?s missed while his team went 4-1 during his absence.

Robert Pattinson Goes Shirtless In Exclusive 'Bel Ami' Clip

To kick off Summer Movie Preview Week, MTV News brings you a very intimate scene between Pattinson and Christina Ricci.

There are always a lot of movies to consider in putting together our Summer Movie Preview Week, particularly with so many star-studded superhero flicks, a "Twilight" heroine-turned-warrior princess, family-friendly fare and reliably raunchy comedies on the horizon. But in thinking about how to properly kick off the week, there is no better opener than shirtless Robert Pattinson in an exclusive clip from his upcoming steamy romance drama "Bel Ami."

The clip opens in a boudoir with the mostly naked and slightly disheveled Clotilde de Marelle (Christina Ricci) lying in bed, post-tryst, posing a question to her equally scantily clad lover, Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson). Duroy is a self-made man of sorts, who uses his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute's embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties in 19th-century Paris, where politics and media jostle for influence and where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.

"What are you reading?" de Marelle asks Duroy.

"It's a letter from my father. Every week he puts on his best suit and goes to the priest and the priest writes a letter for him," Duroy reveals as he gets back into bed. "And every week it's the same thing: 'Your mother sends her blessings. [The] pigs have diarrhea, when are you getting married?' My father's a peasant, he's never left his village. And he's asking me for money."

"I'd like to see where you grew up," says de Marelle, who appears to be a young lady of the upper class.

"I'd like to see you there," Duroy says intimately before locking lips with de Marelle.

"Promise me something," she requests. "Don't bring your other women here."

"I don't have other women," he counters.

"All men have other women," de Marelle says, which Duroy refutes and the lady reacts incredulously.

"Honestly?" she says.

"Honestly and truly," he answers.

Despite the sweetness and sincerity captured in this particular scene, Pattinson has teased that his character gets himself involved with a variety of female paramours. More importantly, in addition to his being shirtless in a lot of scenes, there's also a lot of his bare bottom in the film.

"I think there's a lot of my crack in it," he laughed when describing the film to MTV news. "I think there's quite a bit of nudity."

"Bel Ami" opens in Los Angeles, New York and select cites on June 8. The film will be available on VOD on May 4.

It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated . Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "The Avengers," Robert Pattinson's "Bel Ami," Kristen Stewart's "Snow White," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and more!

Britney Spears' Fiance To Share Legal Control Of Singer With Father

Jason Trawick has petitioned court to become pop star's co-conservator, sharing responsibility for her 'general well-being.'
By John Mitchell

<P>Britney Spears' fianc&#233;, Jason Trawick, has petitioned the Los Angeles Superior Court to become the pop star's co-conservator. He would share legal control of the pop star with her father, Jamie Spears, who has maintained legal control of his daughter since February 2008. </P><P> </P><P>Sources close to the filing tell People that Trawick would not have control of Spears' multimillion-dollar estate or career but would share responsibility with Jamie Spears for the singer's "general well-being," including decisions regarding food, clothing and medical care. </P><P> </P><P> </P><P> </P><P>L.A. probate attorney Jeffrey S. Cohen told the magazine that while this is "a very unusual situation," it could be "a sign that the couple's wedding is around the corner. </P><P> </P><P>"This is probably a compromise between Britney, her father and Trawick to get the marriage off on the right foot. Obviously, her future husband needs to have a say in her well-being," Cohen added. </P><P> </P><P>Jamie Spears gained legal control over his daughter's affairs in February 2008, following a spate of increasingly erratic behavior that culminated in Britney's brief stay at UCLA Medical Center. In the years since, Spears has appeared to get her life solidly back on track, releasing two multiplatinum albums, launching two successful world tours and regaining custody of her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. </P><P> </P><P>The current status of Spears' conservatorship is reportedly more of a "formality" than anything else. </P><P> </P><P>Trawick, Spears' former agent and co-star in her "Criminal" video, proposed to Spears in December on his 40th birthday with a four-carat diamond ring designed by Neil Lane.</p>
