5 top pieces of celebrity gossip — from a possible Miley Cyrus-Justin Bieber collaboration to the tragically unlikely Big Lebowski sequel
1. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have allegedly broken up again
Bad news for Twilight fans: Just when it seemed like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson might actually run sparkling into the sunset together, sources have reported that the troubled couple have broken up once again. People reports that the relationship deteriorated to the point that Pattinson did not attend the 27th birthday Stewart had planned for him, though a source said that "it would not be surprising if the on-and-off-again pair got back together again." Just in case that wasn't clear from the other half-dozen times this has happened.

2. Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus may have collaborated on a song
Have Justin Bieber and Hannah Montana teamed up to fulfill the dreams of preteen girls (and the nightmares of everyone else)? According to E! Online, Miley Cyrus was recently sighted leaving Justin Bieber's recording studio, sparking rumors that the two young pop stars have recorded a duet.

Last week, "multiple sources" confirmed to E! Online that Beyonce Knowles was pregnant once again. But on Monday, the claims were countered by a reliable source: Beyonce's husband Jay-Z, who is certainly in a good position to know. According to MTV News, Jay-Z emailed Hot 97 DJ Ebro over the weekend to say that the pregnancy rumor was false. Fans who are eager to find out whether Beyonce is really pregnant or not can continue to speculate wildly, or just wait for an official announcement like they would for any other person.

4. Ke$ha talks about the ghosts she'd most like to have sex with
Last year, pop star Ke$ha casually remarked that she'd once had sex with a ghost, which probably would have drawn even more attention if it had come from someone who didn't say crazy things on a near-constant basis. But in a recent interview with The Huffington Post, an intrepid reporter asked the question that's been on everyone's mind: Which ghosts would Ke$ha most like to have sex with? "I'd like to have sex with a dinosaur, Liberace, and Patrick Swayze," said Ke$ha, adding that "obviously [the dinosaur] would be with a T-Rex." Like you even needed to ask.

5. The Coen Brothers aren't interested in making a Big Lebowski sequel
Sorry, Dude: The Big Lebowski might be the Coen Brothers' most cultishly beloved film, but the Toronto Star reports that the directorial duo has no interest in filming a follow-up. "John Turturro, who wants it, talks to us incessantly about doing a sequel about his character Jesus," said Ethan Coen, before adding, "I don’t see it in our future." "I just don't like sequels," chimed in Joel Coen, so fans can probably forget about No Country For Even Older Men and Oh Brother There Thou Art, too.
