HOLLYWOOD (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) – Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz may be indestructible as an onscreen vampire, but in real life, he still bleeds. Lutz did some of his own stunts involving real machetes for his new movie, The Killing Game, which left him with nasty scars across his famously chiseled chest. Lutz didn’t mind the cuts on his pecks but his agent warned him, “That’s your money-maker! You can’t ruin that!”

LONDON – Sorry Katy Perry, sexy cougar Helen Mirren just got into Russell Brand’s pants – literally. The actress just finished filming The Tempest alongside Brand and says she nabbed a pair of his underpants after the movie wrapped as a “memento” of working with him. The souvenir panties are a bright, canary yellow color and Mirren jokes, “I put them on occasionally.”

HOLLYWOOD – Let the publicity campaign begin. Bachelor star Jake Pavelka and his TV girlfriend, Vienna Girardi, just broke up and it’s been a confusing “he said/she said” frenzy all over the media. However, ABC reps have confirmed that the ex-lovebirds will put all rumors to rest about their split with a joint-interview airing July 5 on ABC – home of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, of course.

HOLLYWOOD – Former 007 star Pierce Brosnan is “bonded” – very bonded – to his son Sean Brosnan. The father/son duo are set to star together in a new movie called Bonded, in which they’ll play cops following the case of a Mexican teenager who tries to rescue a friend from a sex trafficker.
