Richard Lawson · 12/08/08 11:30AMSorry fans of a rakish and sexually conquering Robert Pattinson. Those Facebook messages in which the swoony, lean Twilight hunk talks about bedding his costar Kristen Stewart aren't from Pattinson. Well, they are real Facebook messages, but they're not Rob's. Ben Coles, who initiated the conversation about the young Stewart, called us up and told us that while he thought he was corresponding with Pattinson at the time, he's since learned he was the victim of some chicanery perpetrated by the person known on Facebook as Randle Patrick McMurphy:
Why We're Obsessed With This Fake Rockefeller
Richard Lawson · 12/03/08 04:14PMForget cover girl Tina Fey and her scary scar story. The most interesting tale in this month's Vanity Fair is that of Christian Gerhartsreiter aka Christopher Chichester aka Christopher Crowe aka Clark Rockefeller. He's the mystery fellow who was arrested this summer after kidnapping his daughter, Snooks, whom he lost custody of during his messy divorce. Though he's a nefarious conman, he's also a brilliant one, with a fascinating story, as detailed by VF's Mark Seal. And we're kind of obsessed with it. It's a crazy, crazy thing.
