Lily Collins stepped out in Beverly Hills on Wednesday to run errands and attend a meeting at the W Hotel, and the 23-year-old starlet looked cute as could be in a red top and matching heels. Her romance with Zac Efron may have only lasted a few weeks, but something tells us that was Zac's loss, as Lily is now dating Jamie Campbell Bower, her co-star in The Mortal Instruments.
The movie is based on the Cassandra Clare’s best-seller City of Bones, which follows Clary Fray, a teenager who "discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons." Sounds fascinating!

65% of the Twilight fans we polled last week said they couldn't forgive Kristen Stewart for cheating on boyfriend Robert Pattinson with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, but it seems like movie producers are willing to give her a chance when it comes to her career.
Vulture reports that Stewart has beat out Oscar nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence and landed a role in Lie Down in Darkness, an adaptation of William Styron's gritty novel. Stewart will play Peyton Loftis, "a young woman in 1950s Virginia desperate to escape the confines of her extremely dysfunctional home life."
Summit Entertainment recently stated that they are "moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," and when asked about the Snow White sequel, a source at Universal told Vulture that "nothing has changed and we are still looking at sequel options that would include Rupert [Sanders] directing."
She may have ruined the romance of the century, but it looks like she'll still be able to earn a living!

Katherine Jackson, as well as Paris, Prince and Blanket Jackson, are being used as "pawns" to cover up the fact that Michael Jackson's will is fraudulent, according to a Jackson family source.
Contrary to various online reports, Katherine's children stress they are not after the money in Michael's estate.
Our source adds:
"Everyone knows that even if Michael didn't have a will written up, his children would be given the money from the estate by default. His siblings obviously aren't after his fortune because they were never set to earn it in the first place. It's about revealing the truth and who's behind the fake document."
Family members believe the temporary guardianship situation was created by the estate executors as a diversion from the investigation into the validity of the will. This morning, Katherine was reinstated as guardian of Michael's three children with her grandson TJ serving as co-guardian until the next court hearing on August 22.
The source goes on to say:
"Interesting how only those children who are removing their name from the letter, like Jermaine recently did, are being allowed to see their mother. The rest have been banned from seeing her or even speaking to her on the phone."
The letter that's being referred to is the one sent from Michael's siblings to John Branca and John McClain ... asking them to resign as co-executors of the King of Pop's estate because they've "failed to perform" their duties.
We've reached out to both Branca and McClain for comment, but have yet to hear back.

Don't believe everything you read!
After the National Enquirer claimed Wednesday that the Home Alone actor is abusing heroin and prescription medication, his publicist released a statement slamming the report as completely false.
"The report in the National Enquirer that Macaulay Culkin is addicted to heroin and assorted hallucinogenics is not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious," the actor's rep told the Daily News.
According to the tabloid, which cites an unnamed "close friend" of the child star as their source, Culkin completely fell apart after his break up with Ted actress Mila Kunis and is now on a downward spiral with six months to live! The source also claims that the 31-year-old is now spending up to $6000 a month on drugs.
