Rob Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon grace the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly, and the actors chat about working with one another on Water For Elephants and what life will be like for Rob post-Twilight.
On working with Reese, Rob said, "There’s something about her. She’s just this genuinely nice person. I don’t know if she puts an effort into creating a nice aura, but her mood dissipates over the whole set. It was a completely different environment from when she wasn’t there. All the kids and the animals were just drawn to her. It made it incredibly easy to do my partâ€â€all my reaction shots are just watching her work brilliantly. She’s really cool and she’s just…never, ever annoying. God, that’s the worst description, isn’t it?"
So what does Reese have to say about her much younger co-star? “He’s an incredibly hardworking person with an incredible work ethic,†the Oscar winner says. “He doesn’t ever complain. Not once. Which is sort of lower than the national average for actors. They’re always complaining. Especially the men!â€Â
Once Twilight is finished, what does Rob have want to do? “I’d love to play a big fat person,†he says. "I think people have an incredibly short shelf life, and you can never really predict what an audience wants or how to maintain a career, other than doing what you think is cool. Generally, what I think is cool is whatever everybody else hates."
Leave it to Edward Cullen to make a fat suit sexy!

Michael Lohan is denying he physically abused ex-fiancee Kate Major. In fact, Lindsay's dad claims Kate made up the entire story because "she wants money and she's jealous of the women in my life."
Papa Lohan tells X17online exclusively:
"Kate's story keeps changing because it didn't happen. I never punched her or choked her with a towel as was reported. During that supposed incident, she put a gash in my arm with her ring or nail. I called the police first, and while I was on the phone with them, she took off in her car to the police station to press charges. The only reason I was arrested is because she got there first. It's bulls**t."
The 50-year-old reality star adds:
"Now that Celebrity Rehab has wrapped, I'm in a good place right now. As for Kate, we are in the process of gathering evidence and witnesses against her. In doing so, we have discovered HER violent past in high school in Allenwood, Pa. ... including arrests and her violent history with her father."
Michael also tells us Kate stayed at his apartment without his permission while he taped Celebrity Rehab. He adds, "She somehow got a spare key to my place, and I had no idea she was living there."
Calls to Kate Major have not been returned.
As for reports that he has been asking his 24-year-old daughter for money, Michael comes clean. Find out what he told us ... after the jump.

Justin Bieber is currently touring with Willow Smith, and though the two young superstars have bonded over the past few weeks, that doesn't mean that the pint size singer is safe from Justin pranks!
During Willow's performance of "Whip My Hair" in Manchester, England on Sunday, Bieber, manager Scooter Braun, "swagger coach" Ryan Good and Willow's big brother Jayden made a surprise appearance onstage dressed in bright makeup and hair extensions. Not only were they causing chaos by running around while Willow tried to sing, but Justin walked around onstage banging a cowbell, which must have been incredibly distracting!
Once off stage, Willow told the cameras, "They got me, but it is not over; revenge is sweet and is served on a cold dish." She then tweeted, "My big brothers Justin and Jaden pranked me on stage tonight ... #payback!!!"
Can't wait to see what she does to get back at the Biebster!
After a radio gig at Abbey Road studios in London, Amy Winehouse and her breast implants hit the Camden pub scene with a group of pals. The sassy songbird went to the Dublin Castle and the Hawley Arms among other hotspots, and we're not sure what she was drinking, but we're hoping it was water!
Amy rocked one of her trademark Fred Perry jumpers, big hair and a pair of well worn ballet flats, and just last week she debuted her second clothing collection for the British sportswear company. Word on the street is that Winehouse signed a five year contract with Fred Perry, so even if she's not making records, she should still see some steady income from her fashion line!

Blake Lively was spotted immediately after landing at LAX last night, and the Gossip Girl starlet may not have been all glammed up, but at least she was able to catch a quick nap on the flight!
The actress is currently the face of Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag line, but she recently revealed that she has no plans to start her own clothing collection. Blake told WWD, "I've been asked about that but I have such a respect for fashion and such an appreciation for it that, if there are people like Karl Lagerfeld out there designing, who am I?" Though Blake admits she was a bit intimidated by Lagerfeld when she first met him, she reveals that the two really hit it off after their introduction. "I wouldn't want to work with anyone else," she says. "The moment I met him I said, 'I don't want to do a campaign unless it's Chanel'. So it's nice that we get to work together."

Tennis superstar Serena Williams' new Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game Top Spin 4 is going to be released this spring, but this 57 second ad won't be appearing on TV any time soon...
Williams and actress Rileah Vanderbilt pretend to battle it out on the tennis court as clips from the game play in the background, but after listening to the grunts and getting an eyeful of their sexy workout wear, it's easy to see why parent company 2K Sports isn't planning on using this as an official ad. "As part of the process for creating marketing campaigns to support our titles, we pursue a variety of creative avenues," 2K Sports said in a statement. "This video is not part of the title's final marketing campaign and its distribution was unauthorized."
Vanderbilt uploaded this video on YouTube earlier this week and Williams told her fans to "Stay tuned for a awesomely sexy video I am tweeting later," but it seems as though that's when 2k Sports pulled the plug on the ad, because no one has mentioned it since then!

How many pairs of Christian Louboutins does this girl own? We're totally jealous.
We caught Ms. Kardashian cuddling a pair of the red-soled heels as she waited for her toenails to dry. Lucky Kim gets a mani/pedi at least once a week, but when you've got shoes like these, how can you not?
The reality star has been super busy this week with important meetings for new product lines, so she definitely deserves all the pampering she can get. Kim recently dished via her Twitter: "Just left a huge Sears meeting! You guys are gonna LOVE our new collection! Can't wait for it to launch!!!!! ... Ok now heading to a fragrance meeting. I need a name for my new perfume! Any cool ideas?"
Kim's become quite the businesswoman!
