Robert Pattinson, who plays glittery “Twilight” vampire Edward in the promise-ring-wearing teen romance, earned $25,000 for AIDS charity amFAR for a kiss.
Pattinson’s pucker was up for bids at an auction last week at a hotel near Cannes, France, where celebrities gathered for the city’s film festival, the New York Post reports. Ever-fragile pop tragedy Amy Winehouse has canceled a homecoming gig in London, People magazine reports. The singer was scheduled to perform at Sunday’s 50th anniversary party for her record label, Island. The label announced that Winehouse would not appear shortly after the singer ended a performance in St. Lucia prematurely. Reps blamed the shortened appearance on technical issues, but there were reports of booing and forgotten lyrics. YouTube star and “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant Susan Boyle may not be looking to start a singing career. A source tells MSN’s the Scoop that she has more of a reality-show thing in mind.
The insider says Boyle would be content with a TV deal that would let her pocket a little cash and continue with her life.
