LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Justin Bieber has spoken out regarding his split with Selena Gomez – sort of.

The pop superstar was asked about his breakup with his girlfriend of nearly two years during an interview with Open House Party radio show host John Garabedian — and seemed none too pleased with the question.

“I don’t know what to say,” the Biebs said, when asked during the Saturday interview if he had any comment about rampant breakup rumors (neither confirming nor denying the split). “I don’t know if really — if you even know what’s going on in my life, so to even assess that doesn’t make any sense, because I’ve not made any comments.”

The awkward exchange continued as Garabedian said, “Well, let’s move on to the next subject,” and Bieber tersely replied, “That would make sense.”

The “As Long As You Love Me” singer later took to Twitter to thank his “Beliebers” for their unwavering support.

“Regardless of what happens I see all of the tweets and all the love you guys are sending me,” he wrote on Sunday. “Thank u. Love u too.”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The torch of James Bond has been passed to many actors since the first spy film debuted in 1962, and according to a former 007, the franchise just keeps getting better.

Sir Roger Moore, who boasts the longest run as the international man of mystery (from 1973 until 1985), has seen the most recent Bond movie, “Skyfall,” and had nothing but praise for the latest installment.

“In my opinion it is the best, best Bond of all,” Moore told People of the new movie, which opened in theaters on Friday. “And Daniel Craig, I am full of admiration for him.”

Moore, whose seven Bond films include classics like “The Spy Who Loved Me,” “Octopussy,” “For Your Eyes Only,” and “Live and Let Die,” opted not to reveal his favorite Bond girl, but did share his picks for best Bond song.

“There are two – ‘Live And Let Die,’ which I think is a great piece of work, and a wonderful arrangement by Sir George Martin, and ‘Nobody Does It Better,’ by Marvin Hamlisch,” he told the mag. “That was really something.”

Adding, “And ‘The Spy Who Loved Me,’ I think, says all there is to know about Bond.”

“Skyfall,” with Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, Judi Dench and Javier Bardem, is in theaters now.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – header 173011 Jennifer Hudson Proud Of New Fashion Line: ‘I’m Designing For Every Girl’Caption Jennifer HudsonAfter an amazing 80-pound weight loss, Jennifer Hudson has created her own fashion line. Launching November 12, it’s for women of all shapes, with sizes available from 0 to 26.

“I have a serious love for clothes, like no other,” the Oscar-winner told Access Hollywood of her soon-to-debut QVC line, the Jennifer Hudson Collection, in a new interview. “This is everything. This is what you call everything!”

Confidently showcasing the color blocking trend in a purple sweater and fitted green dress, Jennifer posed for ads as a busy Manhattan woman hailing a cab – something (believe it or not) she had never done before.

“I was like, ‘OK, how do I do this?’” she told Access, of trying to figure out how to get a cab. “’Do I stand in the front or the back?’ And then I stood there waiting for him to open the door and I’m like, ‘Oh. He’s not going to get out of the car?’”

After famously shedding pounds as a Weight Watchers spokesperson, Jennifer was clearly hands-on with creating her line, and she’s proud her collection is for women of all shapes.

“Oh my God — I am designing for every girl,” she said, “I know what it’s like to be the plus size girl and I know how it is now being my new self — whatever that’s called!”

Adding, “I want my size 16 to look just as good as the size 6.”

Bradley Cooper Admits He Thought Sexiest Man Alive Title Was A Prank

NEW YORK, N.Y. – header 176907 Bradley Cooper Admits He Thought Sexiest Man Alive Title Was A PrankCaption Bradley Cooper arrives at the ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ special screening during AFI Fest 2012 Presented by Audi at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on November 2, 2012Bradley Cooper has admitted he thought it was a prank when he was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in November 2011.

“I remember when I got the call, I was in the trailer, we were in between shots and I really did think it was a joke,” Bradley told “Nightline’s” Chris Connelly, referring to being on the set of his new film with Jennifer Lawrence, “Silver Linings Playbook.” “I truly thought that it was a joke.

“I thought Dax Shepard did it,” Bradley continued. “I was certain that he did something like that. And, then they’re like, ‘No, nope, no. It’s real.’ And then I thought, ‘People aren’t going to like that.’ I really thought that. I thought, ‘This isn’t a good thing.’”

In fact, he was so nervous about the title that he tried to turn it down.

“I went, ‘Do I have to do it? I was like, ‘Can I say no?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, you could, but be thankful,’ and I thought, ‘Yeah, OK, OK,’” he added.

And Bradley was right to have reservations.

Last year, when he was crowned, there were protestors, who picketed outside of the magazine’s New York City offices for not choosing Ryan Gosling instead.

“It was brutal,” Bradley laughed. “There was a cheer they made!”

But plenty of people were happy about it, including the residents of his hometown.

“Everybody from my hometown and stuff, they loved it,” he said. “A guy like me, coming from Philly and like growing up – first of all, this is all so insane anyway and then to have that thing was just like, they loved it.”

“Silver Linings Playbook” will hit theaters on November 21, 2012.

David Hasselhoff Dishes On Knight Rider Movie

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Are Michael Knight and his talking car KITT headed to the big screen?

During a recent interview with Access Hollywood, David Hasselhoff talked about bringing “Knight Rider,” where he played Michael Knight, a crusader for the innocent who had the artificial intelligence enhanced car KITT by his side, to the big screen.

“I’m honored and humbled to have been the Knight Rider,” the actor told Billy Bush when asked about the TV series, which ran from 1982 to 1986.

“Hopefully we’ll bring it back. It’s at the Weinstein Company in development as a movie,” he said.

David explained that the process has been time consuming and slow going.

“Making a movie is like watching the grass grow… They always want to change it,” he continued.

But will the 60-year-old actor be the lead in the movie version or will the Knight Rider torch be passed to a younger generation?

“We’re hoping that when it comes on the big screen, it pays homage to where Michael Knight came from and where KITT came from,” he said. “Michael Knight would have a son, I would play like the older guy, do like ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’”

The actor even has some possible dialogue in mind for himself and the actor playing his son.

“I could say, ‘I can’t run, I can’t jump, I can’t fight, but I can still drive. Get in!’” he added with a laugh.
