• In other LiLo news, she's denying reports that she hooked up with Gerard Butler in Morocco. [NYDN]

• Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are still claiming they've never head a romantic relationship. Stewart calls the whole thing "so retarded." She also says "nothing about being a celebrity is desirable" and she doesn't "want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie." Uh, ok. [VF]
