They beat out Oprah and who wants to be a vampire?

Serena and Blair may jokingly put down vegetarian food, but Gossip Girl Dreama Walker, who plays Hazel Williams on the show, is now worshiping seitan.

Walker has embarked on a 30 day vegan adventure, motivated partly by her watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary Earthlings.

So far, Dreama's enjoying it and says she will probably continue, but does what to experiment to see how her body will react to eating dairy again.

Sounds like Dreama should also pay Rob Sedgwick a visit. She absolutely loves vegan ice cream!

"It's uncanny how much the soy ice cream tastes like real ice cream!!" she exclaimed during her interview with Ecorazzi.

According to the Nielsen ratings...

For the fourth week in a row, the estrogen-packed talk show The View came out on top of the daytime Nielson ratings with 4.42 million viewers last week!! Yes, beating out Oprah.

As well as being #1 for daytime, The View was also the second most-watched show by women for the week.

Steve Martin insists he's unfazed by poor reviews for his new movie The Pink Panther 2 - insisting comedy is "not a critics' medium".

"To me, Inspector Clouseau is the comedian's Hamlet. It's one of the most difficult roles to play, I think," Martin said at the Berlin Film Festival, where the film is showing out of competition.

"Comedy is not a critics' medium," he added. "It just isn't."

Hilary Duff is looking to land a role in Twilight sequel New Moon.

The Lizzie McGuire star, 21, was heard backstage at Mercedes Benz Fashion week talking to Twilight star Peter Facinelli about how badly she wants to star in the second movie based on the books by author Stephanie Meyer, reports HollyScoop.

"Hilary told Peter how bad she wants to be in the next Twilight movie," a source said. "Hilary said that she would want to be one of the vampires in the movie."

I thought she was working on being in the Bonnie and Clyde remake?

Rock legends Van Halen have put plans for a new album on hold - so the band's youngest member Wolfgang Van Halen can finish high school.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi is suing a former employee of his Arena football team Philadelphia Soul, accusing the man of copyright infringement.

The Arena Football League (AFL) team was crowned champions in 2008 and each player was given a special ring to commemorate the occasion. The Bon Jovi frontman and officials at Philadelphia Soul claim ex-sales manager Joe Krause illegally made his own version of the championship rings and sold them on to the public.

    41st annual Country Music Awards - Taylor Swift Steals the Show

    So Rascal Flatts has already won best group video of the year at the CMT Music Awards. And since they are by far my favorite group I think that is pretty exciting news.

    A past American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler, has won Breakthrough Video of the Year which she contributes to having been on American Idol.

    LeAnn Rimes and Bon Jovi have won for Collaborative Video of the Year. Go them! But what the heck was she wearing?

    I'll update this post as I learn more. =o)

    How can Faith Hill still look gorgeous pregnant? =o) She does, she's beaming, she's funny, she's just perfect!

    Taylor Swift just won best female video for "Our Song!"

    Billy Ray just had the crowd all pumped up with a standing ovation in support of our troops and now Brad Paisely is performing. *sigh*

    Faith Hill and Tim McGraw announced the best "Wide Open Country Video" and even though I'm not sure what that means I can tell you Alison Krauss and Robert Plant won.

    Reba McEntire announced the hotness of the male video of the year nominees Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisely, Trace Adkins and Toby Keith. The winner being Trace Adkins with his song "I Got My Game On." (Side note: speaking of Keith Urban, his wife Nicole Kidman was there of course, looking stunning in red but still not showing much of a baby bump.)

    Taylor Swift is performing now. She's also gorgeous. Maybe it's a country thang. =o)

    Toby Keith is on stage now performing his smashing hit "She's a hottie." I actually have no idea what the song is called but those words are in it.

    Duo Video of the Year nominees were Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland and Montgomery Gentry. I'm partial to Big & Rich because it was Brian and mine's wedding song, but Sugarland won with their song "Stay."

    Kenny Chesney on stage now. Every time I see him he looks thinner. Does he eat? Does he work out? Either way he's still sounds awesome.

    And now for the BIG award, Country Music Video of the Year OVERALL...goes to....
    TAYLOR SWIFT WITH "OUR SONG!"

    And in her excitement she thanks MySpace. lol. But $5,000 is going to St. Jude's Hospital for Children because that is who she chose. CMT is giving over $80,000 tonight to charities all chosen by the artists. That rocks!!!

    Carrie Underwood had the final performance and I have to say along with sounding fantastic, she looked so cute in that dress! And the purple glitter mic is wicked awesome! P.S. I want that dress!
