When Paula Broadwell and her husband Scott returned to their North Carolina home with their two sons on Sunday from Washington, D.C., 25 friends and neighbors gathered to offer their support.
But for the married Broadwell, 40, who was both biographer and mistress to former Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus, 60, the revelation of the affair and subsequent attention has made her emotional.
"She's been devastated by this," Paula Broadwell's brother, Stephen Kranz, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "She is filled with guilt and shame for what she's done and she's incredibly sorry for the pain she's caused her husband, her family, Petraseus's family. She accepts responsibility for her actions and knows she made a mistake."

Originally posted 08/28/2012 10:20AM
On Monday's The Real Housewives of New York City, the cast heads to St. Barts to cut loose. But Countess LuAnn de Lesseps found herself the subject of salacious morning-after rumors after reportedly spending time alone with Tomas, a French-speaking Johnny Depp lookalike whom the ladies meet at a club during an alcohol-fueled night out.
The next morning, after telling the ladies she brought home a group Italian friends, de Lesseps is heard on the phone, and she's speaking in French.
"Can you do a favor for me, a big favor? I went out with Tom last night. You know, the one that looks a bit like Johnny Depp? And the girls, they know I brought someone here," she says on the call, which Bravo subtitles. "He can't say that he was here last night with me. I don't want the girls to know he was here with me," she says.

Kristen Stewart: Will She Be Asked Back for a Snow White Sequel?
Originally posted 08/15/2012 11:50AM
A Snow White and the Huntsman sequel may hit the silver screen without, well, its Snow White.
On Tuesday, the Hollywood Reporter ran an article saying that Kristen Stewart will not be invited back to star in a planned sequel to last summer's Snow White and the Huntsman. Instead, the story said, the film would focus on Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman character, and it would begin shooting this summer once the actor's schedule is free.
Soon after, though, the Los Angeles Times reported that Stewart's future in the planned Snow White sequel was not yet determined and that she could still play a role in the Hemsworth-focused film.

Kristen Stewart Pre-Scandal: I Don't Like People Who Are Fakes
Originally posted 08/09/2012 07:30AM
Just days before the cheating scandal erupted, Kristen Stewart said she knew a lot of actors who could affect an artificial public persona – but she wasn't one of them.
"I don't like people like that," Stewart told Entertainment Weekly at San Diego's Comic-Con in mid-July. "People who are a complete non-person but somehow through the lens seem like they are on and interesting and engaged. ... I don't want anyone leaving and saying, 'God, that girl is so fake.' "
She added: "People tell me to make it easier on myself and to play a character when I go out on carpets and stuff. But you know what? I'd rather be me."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Deserve Fans' 'Respect': Director
Originally posted 08/08/2012 04:45PM
Attention Twihards, it's time to give back.
The director of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 is issuing a challenge to Twilight fans during the cheating crisis for stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
"The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that,” Bill Condon tells Entertainment Weekly in this week's issue. "Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon."
"Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it’s time that some of that respect be returned to them," he said.
