Originally posted 11/09/2009 01:10PM

The man who was almost Sarah Palin's son-in-law will pursue legal action to gain joint custody of his son with Bristol Palin, according to reports.

Levi Johnston, 19, is the father of 10-month-old Tripp with his ex-girlfriend Bristol, the daughter of the former Alaska governor. The two were engaged to be married, but broke off their relationship in March.

Johnston is seeking joint custody at the end of the month because the Palin family is allegedly making it difficult for him to see his son, he told The Insider.

Kristen Stewart: Taylor Lautner Grew Up During New Moon

Originally posted 11/09/2009 12:40PM

Taylor Lautner's transformation from human to wolf wasn't the most impressive change that came over him for New Moon, according to Kristen Stewart – even more astounding was the way the 17-year-old went from skinny teen to hunky sex symbol for his role.

"He's literally become a different person. He's just grown up," Stewart, 19, said at a recent press conference to promote New Moon. "He's so confident and the nicest guy that I've ever met. I know that I'm using this grammatically incorrect but he's the funnest guy I've ever hung out with. So he's great. I'm so proud of him."

Lautner credits his routine of five days a week at the gym – and a gut-busting 3,200-calorie daily diet – with getting him in werewolf shape.

Though the status of their relationship is often a seesaw-ride of "are-they-or-aren't-they," Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are indeed together, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple were rumored to be broken up around the time of Michael Jackson's death when Dupri did not attend the funeral services. Jackson herself fueled rumors when she told Harper's Bazaar that she was single.

"They never really broke up," a source tells PEOPLE. "Jermaine wanted to give her some space when Michael died."

He may be a world-famous actor and an Oscar-winning director, but when it comes to his newborn daughter, Mel Gibson doesn't mind getting his hands dirty – and that includes changing diapers.

"Oh, absolutely! He's very hands-on," girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva tells Britain's Hello! magazine. "He has been very doting and nurturing."


The real surprise, Grigorieva, 39, says, it that baby Lucia Anne – named after her and Gibson's grandmothers – arrived a month early, forcing Gibson, 53, to jet back to L.A. from his New York movie set. Now the infant, who was 6 lbs. at birth, is gaining weight fast and on track to become a polyglot.
