Taylor Swift has deftly side-stepped the question on everyone’s lips, leaving Ellen Degeneres grasping at air.

The talk show host steered Swift to her relationship with Taylor Lautner but the savvy country singer dodged the bait. She did reveal, however, that there was a problem in her and Lautner making the movie Valentine’s Day.

Cast and crew were falling over themselves to give directions to “Taylor”, getting the rumoured lovebirds hopelessly mixed up.

“Everybody was confused, so halfway through the day [I said], ‘You call him Taylor, and you call me Swifty.’ Problem solved.”

The poised Swift spoke eloquently about her commitment to making the US a better place.

She also laughed off jokes about how much money she has made since her album, Fearless, sold more than four million copies. She said simply: “I actually just wrapped up the first leg of my first headlining tour, which I am so excited [about].”

The passion erupting between Russell Brand and Katy Perry ate up television screens around the world as the lovebirds openly made out in steamy Los Angeles.

Perry propped herself on a fence and wrapped her legs about Brand, when they were reunited in Tinsel Town. They were seen out at a Hollywood party.

They earlier logged some solid romantic hours in the City of Light for Paris Fashion Week. A string of former lady friends of the heart-throb Brand were suddenly heard weighing in on Perry’s prospects.

But Brand is clearly enraptured over the American singer and daughter of evangelical Christians. Perry was even said to be rushing him forward into meeting the folks – to get it out the way. Perry revealed the pair already has a song: Whatever Happens, I Love You, by Steven Morrissey. Brand is said to be having the chorus tattooed on his body: “Cold loving prose, we stole each other’s clothes/But when all is said and done, it’s you I love.”

Things are heating up for Russell Brand and Katy Perry.

Brand, the wild and woolly lothario, is getting set to meet Perry’s folks, who are evangelical Christians.

Perry is said to be desperate for Brand to meet her parents, pastors Keith and Mary Hudson.

A source said: “Katy is as besotted with Russell as he is with her. However, her parents are extraordinarily strict Christians. Katy is sure that, after a bit of getting used to him, they would approve of Russell, but she wants to get that initial meeting out of the way as early as she can.”

The Hudsons run an evangelical ministry in Temecula, south of LA, and can officiate a wedding. The source continued: “Keith and Mary are devoted to the church and hold the institution of marriage as a central core of their beliefs. They are genuinely happy for their daughter, but want to give Russell the once-over to check that he is, in fact, as suitable as Katy claims.”

Country singer Taylor Swift has said that it is hard to get over a relationship with a celebrity because there are constant reminders of them everywhere.

The Love Story singer, who has recently been in the spotlight following the much-publicised incident with rapper Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards, has said she finds it hard to get over celebrity exes because of the constant reminders of them in the media.

Asked whether she finds getting over break-ups easy, the 19-year-old said: “Not when they’re on pencil sharpeners, T-shirts and the sides of buses, like Joe [Jonas]! But, some day, I’ll find the right person [and] I won’t even remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 27 seconds.”

Swift also revealed that she writes songs about ex-boyfriends.

She added: “If guys don’t want me to write bad songs about them, then don’t do bad things!”

The singer admitted that her song Forever And Always is based on her ex, Joe Jonas, who she split from last October.

She said: “It’s about watching somebody completely fade away in a relationship and wondering what you did wrong.”

Madonna’s toyboy Jesus Luz wants to be a DJ.

So Madonna and her music contacts are trying to help him get gigs spinning records.

A source said: “[He] has his mind set on becoming a professional DJ. Madonna and her friends are trying to get him established. He really wants to be more than just a model.”

Luz, 22, is said to have found his new passion after jumping behind the wheels of steel at a recent concert by Madonna, 50.

Pop star Rihanna is hoping for a romantic slam-dunk with a top basketball player.

The R&B beauty was spotted at Game 4 of the NBA finals in Orlando last week, sitting just yards from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

“Rihanna is trying to get to know Rashard… and she hopes the feeling is mutual,” says a source.

“It’s Rashard she wants. She thinks he’s hotter than hot.”

Actress Scheana Marie has talked about her relationship with musician John Mayer and said he’s not her “boyfriend” but they have been hanging out.

The 23-year-old revealed she met Mayer, 31, last year when he was still dating actress Jennifer Aniston, 40, but chatted again after they split.

She told Young Hollywood: “I work at the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills and he had his birthday party there last year. I happen to be the lucky girl who got to work it. When I met him he was with Jennifer. She was so sweet.”

Marie said she met up with Mayer again this year when he made a return to the club after his split with Aniston.

She said: “He came back into the club. We kind of talked. He’s not my boyfriend, we’re hanging out. You can leave it to the imagination. We have a good time… that’s all. I love his personality and I just love that he’s funny.”

Asked if Mayer is a good kisser, she said: “He has really nice lips.”

"[Chris and Erica] met in Virginia, where he’s from," an unidentified source close to the singer reportedly told the paper. "They dated back in the day and reconnected a few weeks ago when Chris was in town. They’ve been spending a lot of time together, but things only really heated up over the last two weeks.”
