Wissam al Mana posts cryptic message after Janet Jackson split

Janet Jackson's ex, Wissam al Mana, may be wrestling some demons. Shortly after his split from the singer went public, he posted a quote on his website that E! News suspects could mean he's trying to tell Janet something. "You shall most certainly be tried in your possessions and in your persons; and indeed you shall hear many hurtful things from those to whom revelation was granted before your time, as well as from those who have come to ascribe divinity to other beings beside Allah. But if you remain patient in adversity and conscious of Him – this, behold, is something to set one's heart upon. – 3:186," the message read. The couple reportedly split over cultural differences.

Robert Pattinson is 'curious' about potential 'Twilight' reboot

If "Twilight" producers reboot the franchise, it sounds like Robert Pattinson might be interested in jumping onboard. "Really, they're expanding it? So I'll get my own spin-off?" he said with a laugh when asked whether he'd return in a recent Yahoo interview. "I mean, I'm always kind of curious. Anything where there's a mass audience — or seemingly an audience for it — I always like the idea of subverting people's expectations. So there could be some radical way of doing it, which could be quite fun. It's always difficult when there's no source material. But, yeah, I'm always curious." Asked about his relationship with "Twilight" fans, he noted things are not as crazy as they used to be. "It's definitely calmed down in terms of my everyday life, but mainly because I spend more time in London, which is totally different," the "Lost City of Z" star said. "And I'm doing more parts that just sort of interest me, while in a lot of ways taking a little bit of a step back just to learn and get better. I guess I've never really acknowledged what the fan base is, or even if I have one."

Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad

The Pepsi ad in which Kendall Jenner fixes major cultural ills by giving a cop some soda isn't her fault. That's the message Alec Baldwin tweeted this week when he reminded followers Kendall had little to do with the premise. "Don't blame @KendallJenner for that spot. Kendall is still a very young, inexperienced woman in an awful business. Blame her management," he posted on April 13. "2- I remember when my daughter Ireland and Kendall were little kids in school. I think it's unfair to rake these younger ppl over the coals," he added. "3- The US is such a sadistically shame-based, blame-centered culture…"

Matthew Rhys left Keri Russell a 'drunken voicemail' years before they fell in love

Kismet? "The Americans" stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys fell in love while they were working on the show but their relationship dates back 16 years — kind of. "We actually met a very long long time ago," Matthew said on "Watch What Happens Live" (via E! News) this week. "I very drunkenly asked her for her number when she was a young, single, slip of a thing, so I sort of knew then when I was 26." Their initial conversation involved Keri asking Matthew to open a beer for her after a kickball party. Matthew promptly got her number and left her what he described as a "drunken voicemail." She didn't call him back. When they started working together a decade later, Keri told her partner and Andy Cohen, Matthew remembered her: "We did all the readings together and all the things," Keri said, "and after a heavy dose of fight training, all sweaty, at lunch, you said, 'Oh, you know we've met before. I said, 'No we haven't,' and you said, 'Yeah, we've met before, like 10 years ago at kickball.' As soon as he said that, I knew exactly what [happened] and I opened my eyes, like, 'Oh! Of course I remember that.'" As for his post-kickball party voicemail? "You were that buffoon that wouldn't stop calling," Keri cracked.
