TWILIGHT screenwriter MELISSA ROSENBERG is begging the media to stop speculating about stars ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART’s alleged off-screen romance, insisting the pair deserve some private time.
Rosenberg suggests the fact the couple is such a perfect match on screen, everyone has jumped to conclusions they must be dating - and that’s no one’s business.
She tells Eonline.com, "Their chemistry on film is so extraordinary; they were beautifully cast for those roles and their chemistry is amazing. I think people often confuse chemistry on-screen with chemistry off-screen.
"I think people should just enjoy what’s on-screen and leave their privates lives wherever they are. I don’t actually know what they are."

JAY-Z scolded KANYE WEST for his rude behaviour at this year’s (09) MTV Video Music Awards after the rapper stormed the stage and interrupted TAYLOR SWIFT’s acceptance speech.
The teenage country singer had just won her first VMA, for Best Female Video, when West grabbed the microphone from her and proclaimed Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce should have won.
The protest, at the 13 September (09) prizegiving, left Swift speechless and "rattled" and Beyonce, who was seated in the front row embarrassed.
Fellow celebrities jumped to Swift’s defence and launched scathing attacks on West - and Jay-Z reveals he was one of them.
He says, "I just think that that’s what he believed. I thought it was rude, I thought it was inappropriate and I told him as much." However, the Run This Town hitmaker admits he would have preferred to see his wife Beyonce pick up the award too.
Jay-Z adds, "I don’t think he was wrong." But the rap mogul is keen for the controversy to go away, insisting the backlash against his pal wasn’t justified.
He says, "The way they’re treating him… He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed. (He’s just) a super passionate person."

JENNIFER GARNER’s three-year-old daughter is putting mum to work - the actress is "scrubbing the toilets" at the tot’s preschool.
Little Violet is in her second year at the same Boston, Massachusetts co-operative preschool her father Ben Affleck once attended - and parents are expected to help maintain facilities and volunteer for field trips.
And, while Affleck films his new movie The Town nearby, Garner is working up a sweat with other devoted mums and dads.
She explains, "Parents run the school, so I work at the preschool. It’s a lot of toilet scrubbing… painting and pulling out staples. But it’s fun because you get to chat with other mums." However, Garner admits she’s looking forward to returning to a film set when Affleck’s project is wrapped, so he can experience the joys of cleaning his old school from top to bottom.
She adds, "We take turns. Right now he’s directing but just wait when it’s his turn… he’s going to have to make macaroni and cheese for every potluck (group dinner)."

Music producer SCOTT STORCH found himself filing for bankruptcy after splashing out $250,000 (£166,670) a month on drugs, girls and flash cars.
The former mogul admits every day was a spending spree when he was high on cocaine - he would regularly take his entire entourage on last-minute getaways revolving around sex and drugs.
Storch, who has previously confessed to wasting $30 million (£20 million) on his cocaine addiction, reveals he would stay up for days on end, strung out on illegal substances - and then head to a car dealership to make an expensive impulse buy.
He tells Details magazine, "We’d be at a club and I’d decide to take everyone to Las Vegas. Do more coke, f**k a bunch of girls. Be up for two days and decide at 11 in the morning to go buy a Rolls-Royce. I probably bought 10 cars when I was high." But he came crashing back down to reality when he realised he’d "burned through" his multi-million dollar fortune and was forced to declare himself bankrupt in May this year (09).
He adds, "I was burning through about $250,000 a month, mostly on partying. I was spending money I had no business spending." Storch is now attempting to rebuild his shattered career after sobering up following a stint in a rehabilitation facility in Florida earlier this year (09).

Broadway legend TOMMY TUNE has taken aim at TV celebrity dance contests, insisting they’re cruel.
The revered dancer/choreographer isn’t surprised so many contestants are injured while rehearsing for dance sequences on shows like Dancing With The Stars and Strictly Come Dancing - because the untrained struggle with foxtrots and tangos.
He tells WENN, "I worry that they hurt themselves because they’re dancing beyond their training and when they get older it’s gonna show up. It’s kind of like cruelty to animals. They don’t know they’re hurting themselves.
"My father was a horse trainer and the care my father took with the horses, that’s the care they should be trained with, but they’re not and they keep getting hurt. So when I look at the contestants I think about the horses. They’re dancing beyond their capabilities and that bothers me.
"I sound like some fogey about it but I know what it takes to have a long, healthy physical life. I danced all my life and you have to really get some training before you try it. You can start simple like ballroom dancing but Dancing With The Stars is extreme; it’s almost like a fight." The U.S. show, which launched its latest season on Monday night (21Sep09), has a history of injuries to celebrity contestants - Jewel and TV presenter Nancy O’Dell were forced to pull out of the last season of the show before it even started and Steve-O and Gilles Marini battled injuries on the show.

ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s doctor reportedly prescribed the tragic actress/model potentially fatal doses of painkillers and other medications while she was pregnant with daughter Dannielynn.
Ongoing investigations into the star’s 2007 death have put Smith’s physician Sandeep Kapoor in the spotlight, amid claims he ignored medical dangers by providing an array of powerful and addictive drugs to a woman with a history of substance abuse.
In court documents leaked to the Los Angeles Times newspaper, four doctors are under scrutiny for their dealings with Smith, but the investigation zeros in on Kapoor, and the actress/model’s former next door neighbour Khristine Eroshevich.
State prescription records, contained in the documents, show Kapoor prescribed Smith sedatives and painkillers, often in quantities far beyond medical standards.
And Medical Board of California official Jon Genens, who is leading the investigation into Smith’s death, writes Kapoor prescribed an amount of methadone that averaged more than twice the usual daily dose during a 27-day period in 2005. The documents also suggest the doctor wrote prescriptions for Xanax, Dilaudid, Lorazepam and methadone, and, in some cases increased them during Smith’s 2006 pregnancy, despite potential hazards to the foetus.
Genens’ investigations also found "a pattern of overprescribing drugs which could pose a potential danger to his (Kapoor) patients." Kapoor’s attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, insists authorities have miscalculated the amounts his client prescribed.
She tells the Times, "There’s been a misreading of the medical records. When all the facts are disclosed, they will show that Dr. Kapoor’s treatment of Anna Nicole Smith was in good faith and consistent with good medical practice." In March (09), Los Angeles prosecutors charged Kapoor, Eroshevich and Smith’s companion and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, with conspiring to provide the actress/model with controlled substances. All three have pleaded not guilty. A preliminary hearing is set for next month (Oct09).

Rap superstar JAY-Z is considering taking yoga tips from his rocker pal CHRIS MARTIN - because he’s jealous of the COLDPLAY frontman’s flexibility on stage.
Martin, who practises yoga with his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, is known for his energetic performances, jumping, bending and running around the stage during Coldplay gigs.
The Run This Town hitmaker admits he would love to be as agile as the Viva La Vida singer, having witnessed Martin’s concert workouts night after night as they tour the U.K. together.
He says, "Chris hasn’t tried to get me to do yoga yet but I am close to doing it. I’m envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing, he can really move. I want to be able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that." But Jay-Z, who is married to Beyonce, confesses he’ll have to get back in shape before he will even consider attempting any body-bending exercises: "I try and work out four times a week - cardio, weights, push ups, pull ups - but I haven’t for a month because of vacation and touring."

JOHN TRAVOLTA wanted to fly his son JETT to Florida immediately after the teenager suffered a seizure in the Bahamas, so he would receive better medical care, a court has heard.
The 16 year old died in January (09) during a family vacation on the Caribbean island.
Former Bahamian Senator Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, who attended to the boy after the incident, are currently on trial in the Bahamas on charges of extortion.
They are accused of conspiring to release a document containing information about Jett’s death in a $25 million (£17.2 million) bribery plot against Travolta and his grieving wife Kelly Preston.
Police inspector Andrew Wells was the first witness to take the stand on Tuesday (22Sep09), testifying how Lightbourne had told him the actor had signed forms releasing the paramedics from liability so he could take the teen to an airport.
Reports suggest Travolta soon changed his mind and instructed his boy be taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The Hollywood star returned to the Bahamas on Monday (21Sep09), the first time since Jett’s death, as he prepared to testify in the case.
He is expected to take the stand later this week (begs21Sep09).
Bridgewater and Lightbourne have pleaded not guilty to the allegations.

Hollywood actor HUGH JACKMAN added some star appeal to the United Nations Climate Summit in New York on Monday (21Sep09) when he joined U.N. Secretary General BAN KI MOON and former British prime minister TONY BLAIR to talk politics.
The X-Men Origins: Wolverine star joined the press conference on global warming, as an ambassador to the World Vision charity, which aims to help children and families living in poverty.
Jackman highlighted the affects of climate change on the world’s poor, demonstrating his point by sharing a story about a coffee farmer named Dukalee, who he met during a visit to Ethiopia last year (08).
He told reporters, "On this trip it really gelled for me that you can’t separate the issues of climate change and poverty. They are inextricably linked.
"Having been to Ethiopia and seen these farmers, seen the battle they face from what is a problem that the developed countries have brought on many of these developing countries, there is a justice, there is a gap we need to fill." The Aussie actor admits the trip to Africa was an eye-opening experience for him and it inspired him and his wife Deborah-Lee Furness to live a greener life at home.
He adds, "It’s humbling, it’s embarrassing sometimes, when you go to Dukalee’s farm, who (sic) has nothing and who’s doing no harm by shovelling manure, and there’s me in my lovely apartment.
"Deb and I have brought in a company to say (sic) what we can do in our home - change light bulbs, etc. Everyone does their best.
"I don’t do private jets. I try and do my best and I teach (sustainability) to my kids."
