Worldwide singing sensation Susan Boyle was on Larry King Live last night to discuss her overnight success around the world after performing on Britain’s Got Talent. Judge on the show Piers Morgan joined the panel to express his feelings about how everyone first judged Susan then later were overwhelmed by her amazing voice.

The only thing that bothers me is how everyone keeps expressing how Susan should get a make-over. I think they should allow her to be herself and let her voice carry her into the winners box. She is an amazing talent and should serve as a role model to many others who may not take a “leap of faith.” It’s never too late!

Bless her heart, she say’s she will never be lonely anymore. I love that she accepted Piers offer of a date! Go girl!

On the Scene: New Moon Cast

The cast of the Twilight Saga: New Moon were spotted in costume and on set in Vancouver, Canada yesterday. The stars include Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, Kristen Stewart, and Nikki Reed.

Ashley Greene recently confessed in an interview she is living a fairytale even though sometimes she struggles with her new lifestyle.

I’m still getting used to the go, go, go Hollywood lifestyle which has definitely thrown me into a realm where I’m struggling a little bit,” says Greene, who was a fan of the books long before she auditioned for the role of Alice.

“As an actor you want people to know you and there are times you want your pictures taken, but it’s unnerving to walk out of a venue with friends and there are 20 people flashing lights in your face. Do you know how bright those lights are?”

She also confirms the crush she shares with her on-screen husbands Jackson Rathbone. She says the rumors of them dating are not true though the only thing keeping them apart is their hectic schedules.

He and I both don’t have time to date, but we do have amazing chemistry,” she says.

“We both have such big crushes on each other and it clearly shows. We got along instantly and the day we met, he was teaching me how to swing dance.

“He (Rathbone) does everything. He sings, he dances, and he’s so sweet. Even my mum has a crush on him and tells me, ‘You should date him’. So, who knows, maybe when we both stop running around the world.”

A fully recovered Josh Hartnett was spotted holding hands with a smokin’ blonde in Soho today.  Rumors surfaced that the actor might have been getting busy with his co-star Kirsten Dunst or with Helena Christensen but apparently this rumor was false.

I’m just glad to see he is all better from his stomach illness.
