"New Moon" Script Found In Trash

Casey Ray, who owns a beauty salon in St. Louis, Missouri, hit the jackpot. Or would have if she didn't have a conscience. Ray found scripts for two films that "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson will be staring in, "Twilight Saga: New Moon" and "Memoirs," a romantic drama expected to begin production this summer, in a trash bin.

So how did they get there? One theory, according to EW.com, goes like this: The scripts were found in a trash bin outside a hotel that is housing actors for George Clooney's latest project, "Up in the Air." A member of that cast is Anna Kendrick, who plays Bella Swan's friend Jessica in the "Twilight Saga." Kendrick's reps have denied that she misplaced or mistreated the scripts in question.

Back to Ray: She considered selling the scripts to the tabloids but, as her lawyer told the AP, she did not want the money. Instead, she returned the scripts to their rightful owners and received tickets to both movies premieres. She'll also get the scripts back from Summit Entertainment after the movies hit the big screen.

Twitterverse reaction ranged from wondering what Ray was doing in a trash bin, to wondering how she could give up the scripts:

  1. Katie
    Katski11 I can't believe the Twilight Saga: New Moon' script was found in trash...and returned. I would have kept it!!!!
  2. Jewelle
    SMiLEJewelle Wow. I was thinking, that woman found the New Moon script in the trash...how did she go by it? Was she DIGGING in the trash!??!
  3. Amber McClellan
    foxyamber Seriously can not believe some one found the Twilight-New Moon script in the trash I'm soo excited to see that I could pee my pants!!!!!!!!!
  4. Lizza Quinon
    sydneyaus http://bit.ly/y1g6f New Moon Info: New Moon Script Found in Trash!- someone's not happy with the script lol!
  5. Rachel D
    SuperDino12 I recently watched the news and heard about that lady who found a copy of New Moon in the trash! I would have kept it and read it a lot!

Kate Gosselin Admits Marriage Struggles

Kate Gosselin discusses her struggles with husband Jon Gosselin in PEOPLE's latest cover story. The Gosselin family is the subject of the popular reality show "Jon & Kate Plus Eight."

After 23-year-old Deanna Hummel's brother claimed that she was having a months-long affair with Jon Gosselin, the family may see a future apart, Kate said. Jon Gosselin previously denied cheating on Kate but admitted to hanging out with Hummel.

While Kate called her husband a center of "stability" and "balance," she said a separation isn't out of the question. In PEOPLE article she's quoted as saying, "You can't imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months." Perhaps even more to the point, Gosselin said "I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same things."

But the family might stay together afterall: "I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again," she said.

Some Twitter users are confused by all the back-and-forth drama, and others think it has been blown out of proportion:

  1. Pam Hunter
    SoccerMomtoMnL doesn't know who to believe about the whole Jon & Kate Gosselin thing....frustrating!!
  2. Wes Molebash
    THEWesMolebash Call me what you will, but I'm kinda bummed at the possibility of Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce.

Paulina Porizkova Fired From "Top Model"

According to PEOPLE, tonight's "America's Next Top Model" finale will be judge Paulina Porizkova's last show.

The supermodel said she was recently fired from the reality TV series during an interview with Craig Ferguson. Porizkova told "The Late Late Show" host that the Tyra Bank-hosted show needed "to cut some fat and the fat was me." Producers also told her she has an "ego problem."

While most Twitter users are glad about the decision, others are upset:

  1. S Fenton
    sfenton24 Wow, I'm really disappointed ANTM fired Paulina Porizkova. Maybe they'll finally make Jay Manuel a judge.
  2. Teflon

LAPD Finds Mess, Not Robbery, At Lindsay Lohan's Home

According to PEOPLE.com, Lindsay Lohan’s biggest concern should be for the condition of her residence, not for the break in she thought she had.

At 3 p.m. Tuesday, Los Angeles police responded to Lohan’s home security alarm. What they found at her residence was evidence of a potential break-in and “ransacking.”

As it turns out, the LAPDtold the Associated Press, nothing was wrong despite the home's messy state. Los Angeles police officer Karen Rayner even asked, “Is it always like this, or did the intruders do it?”

Lohan was not home at the time of the “break-in,” and nothing was stolen. The police concluded that the alarm had malfunctioned.

Twitterers made fun of the star's latest drama:

  1. Jimmy Hodson
    JimmyHodson Thanks to Lindsay Lohan, now we never have to clean up our home, we can just say it was ransacked!
  2. Josh Kendrix
    joshkendrix Police called to Lindsay Lohan's house, see a mess and suspect burglary. Nope! Turns out her house is just a pigsty.

    SimplyStar What's up with Lindsay Lohan.....? Why the heck were the cops called to her house because it was messy? I don't get it.

Kanye West Disses Twitter

Kanye West is more than just a little upset with Twitter, if his latest blog post is any indication. His beef stems from the high volume of West accounts on the site, even though none of them are actually his.

West blogged about the situation yesterday:

"(This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON'T HAVE A F*ING TWITTER... WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I'M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN'T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON'T HAVE A F*G TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT... THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT'S A F*G FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW...WHY? ... BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!"

The Twitterverse mocked West's rant rather than sympathizing with him:

  1. Lorena O'Neil
    lorenaoneil MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD.... who wants to read Edgar Allen Poe when we have the genius of Kanye West in our midst?
  2. Nick Sharma
