One of the biggest problems on set is actors cracking up. Whether it's Larry David collecting himself after a J.B.

Is it really that insensitive to assume that today's increasingly self-Westernizing India would also Westernize in its table manners?

Everybody's got an opinion about why the notoriously private Kristen Stewart, who normally can't even bring herself to smile on the red carpet, felt the need to simultaneously confirm her long-assumed relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson and confess to a potentially homewrecking indiscretion with Rupert Sanders, a married director almost twice her age.
