Pete Wentz finds it "odd and slightly amusing" that his band, Fall Out Boy, is issuing a greatest hits collection.

After all, it's been only four years since the Illinois-based foursome released their major-label debut, the multi-million-selling From Under The Cork Tree, and since that time they've put out just three other albums.

"Greatest hits records are a funny thing," Wentz says. "I always think of them as being from bands with loads of huge songs. Fall Out Boy, we're kind of a different group."

Indeed, the appearance of a greatest hits set (the official title is Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits) is fanning the flames on Fall Out Boy fan sites with rumors that the band (which also includes singer-songwriter and guitarist Patrick Stump, guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley) might be pondering a breakup or a split from their label.

Last night Dashboard Confessional played their last show for a while in Louisville, KY with the Louisville Orchestra. It was actually pretty good, and I managed to walk back stage and right up to the band to ask for a pic. I told him about ONTD and that he has a pretty good amount of fans here, and he was happy to hold the sign. Woohoo!

So last night Zac Efron was supposed to go for cheese fondue at Lt. Dangle's but:



But what in life could be better than cheese fondue w/ Tom Lennon?
Then Drama from Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory twittered:




Awesome even if the video is kind of sucky. At first we were a bit skeptical if it was him. ( The rest of the story w/ pics )

Also remember when Zac and Vanessa hung out with Lucas and Autumn Grabeel at that hockey game? Well Zac and Vanessa were given personalized jerseys by some suits and they proceeded to wear them and take pictures looking dorky:

When I got the phone call asking me to co-host the Oscars with Steve Martin, I was shocked. I have always enjoyed the ceremony where many of the film community's most talented and influential members come together to honor achievement in film. Among the greatest moments for me were presenting John Barry his Oscar for the score of DANCES WITH WOLVES, to present a clip from one of my favorite films, THE REMAINS OF THE DAY and to watch my then wife win Best Supporting Actress for LA CONFIDENTIAL. The Oscars. Inarguably, the most important awards in the entertainment industry. Now, it looks like I am going to co-host this thing with someone I deeply admire and who I am certain will carry me on his back throughout, having previously hosted himself two times. The Oscars. March 7, 2010. Hosted by Steve Martin and that guy from 30 Rock. I hope you'll enjoy.

I still see many people are on the fence about the hosting duties...what do you think ONTD?

Philippe Rousselet’s Vendome Pictures has announced its first project, teaming with Mark Gordon on the sci-fi thriller Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Summit International has already pre-sold rights to more than 15 territories at AFM.

Duncan Jones, fresh from his critically acclaimed low budget sci-fi Moon, will direct the story of a US soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown commuter and is forced to live and relive a train bombing until he can find the perpetrator. Ben Ripley wrote the screenplay with revisions from Billy Ray.

“Jake and I have been trying to find a project together since we worked on The Day After Tomorrow,” Gordon said. “He’s a wonderful actor and perfect for this role in Source Code.”

Gyllenhaal is currently filming Love And Other Drugs for Ed Zwick. He will next be seen in Jim Sheridan’s Brothers and the upcoming Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

Jones is currently writing the screenplay of the upcoming film Mute, which he will also direct.

Taylor Lautner isn't too upset with all the rumors circulating that he and Taylor Swift are dating.

"The very funny thing is that all of you have seen every single move I make, so I guess I can leave that up to you to decide," he said to reporters at the New Moon press conference in Beverly Hills on Friday.

Still, he said he's a bit uncomfortable at the idea of her writing a song about him.

"That's a scary thing," he said. "I don't know if she has. I have no idea."

Lautner isn't alone in keeping his status with Swift a secret.

Asked whether they are an item, the singer, 19, told CMT Radio's Cody Alan, "I don't know."

In the interview, which aired Thursday, she continued: "He's an amazing guy and we're really close...and ah....yep.....and we're in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it."

The two -- who attended a hockey game together in L.A. and had dinner with Swift's mom two weeks ago -- appear in the ensemble romantic comedy, Valentine's Day, out next year.

"That movie was a lot of fun," Lautner said at the conference for New Moon, which hits theaters Nov. 20. "Taylor was great... so I'm excited to go and see that."

I felt like I was in a dream—but I wasn’t. I really was talking to Peter Facinelli, aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen from the Twilight movies. Although the series’ fans are bloodthirsty with anticipation for the November 20 release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the 35-year-old actor—an avid Tweeter with over 1.2 million followers, and father to three daughters with 90210's Jennie Garth—seems as calm and cool as his signature vampire character. Currently in New York shooting the second season of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, Facinelli regularly commutes home to Los Angeles to visit his family. The strikingly handsome star took some time from his hectic coast-to-coast schedule to fill Time Out Kids in on his family, his career, his hometown (in Queens!) and, of course, the Cullens.

his kids names are so cute D: i wonder if they're as cute as this kid, though.

It must have been written in the So You Think You Can Dance stars!

PEOPLE has learned that two of last season’s favorite dancers, who are currently on tour, Janette Manrara, the sexy salsa dancer from Miami, and Jason Glover, lyrical and contemporary wonder from Fresno, Calif., are an item.

“Yes, they are definitely together,” a source close to the tour confirms.

And if there were sparks back in the studio, things actually started heating up for the couple, who were both eliminated on the 100th episode of the show back in July, during Los Angeles tour rehearsals.

“It was obvious that they were into each other,” adds the source. “During any down time between numbers, they always would be together, holding hands and acting like a couple.”

The source goes on to say that the relationship has since blossomed as the two “only got closer over the course of the tour … It’s nice to see two such amazing people so happy together.”

Fans can get a closer look at the new couple, along with the rest of season 5’s top 10 — Ade, Brandon, Evan, Jeanine, Kayla, Kupono, Melissa and Randi — on the So You Think You Can Dance Tour, which goes through Nov. 21, making stops in Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Ore., and more.
