LOVE AND FIGHTING IN HOLLYWOOD

 Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice In Us Weekly

The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about the continued feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. After Giudice plotted to convince people that Gorga was once a stripper, Melissa cuts off her sister-in-law for good!

On the season 4 finale, Giudice (and partner-in-crime Kim DePaola) conspired to make it seem that Gorga was once a stripper by enlisting Angelo Vrohidis to confront Gorga on camera. Vrohidis is a former manager at jiggle joint Lookers Gentlemen’s Club in Elizabeth, NJ where Gorga bartended in 2003, but never danced. “What Teresa did was like stabbing a knife in my back,” an emotional Gorga tells Us. “It was vindictive and disgusting. She fooled me for the last time.”

“If she admitted she set me up, I would hear her out. But if I forgave her, who’s to say she wouldn’t strike again? I’m not going to take the chance of letting her hurt me. I’m officially done.” And what about her husband, Joe? “He has a really hard time forgiving her because he’s so sick and tired of her bashing us. It breaks my heart.” The Us article goes on to reveal that Gorga may not have any worries about filming a potential 5th season as a show insider divulges that “the network is looking to shake up the series next season and get rid of Giudice…her story line is getting stale!”

Robert Pattinson

Kristen Stewart

Also in the new issue are details on Robert Pattinson reuniting with Kristen Stewart, despite her cheating. This epic romance isn't over. After the most trying, painful couple months of their three-year relationship, Pattinson and Stewart recently "had a dramatic makeup" in Los Angeles, sources reveal to Us Weekly. Gutted by Stewart's shocking mid-July affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders -- Us Weekly broke the story -- the 26-year-old British hunk finally agreed to meet his estranged love, 22, for an initial meeting. After that tete-a-tete, the Twilight twosome have met on subsequent occasions, another source confirms. "They're working it out," the source tells Us. "He's still in love with her."

GWYNETH PALTROW: SHE’S OVER MADONNA

Madonna

After more than a decade of friendship, Gwyneth Paltrow is taking a holiday from Madonna. “Everything always revolved around Madonna — and Gwyneth had enough,” says a source close to the Iron Man 3 star, 40. “She is finally done.” But the Material Girl, 54, isn’t losing sleep over the falling-out, says an insider: “Madonna’s schedule is insane. If Gwyneth doesn’t understand that, it’s her problem.” And Paltrow can always talk it out with Cameron Diaz. Though the two have been close for years, Paltrow recently upgraded the actress, 40, to BFF status. “Gwyneth is a nurturer,” explains the source. “Cameron is bummed about being single, so Gwyneth sees her as a project. She’s trying to set her up with guys!”

TAYLOR SWIFT FLIES TO SEE CONOR!

They couldn’t even wait for fall break! Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, 18, had only been back at his western Massachusetts boarding school, Deerfield Academy, for a week when he got a visit from the singer. Why so soon? Swift, fresh off promoting her October 22 release Red in Canada and Brazil, “is obsessed with Conor,” a source tells Hot Stuff of the star, 22. “She writes him love notes!” The pair of two months skipped the dining hall on September 14 for the serendipitously named Taylor’s Tavern & Restaurant, a favorite student date spot in adjacent Greenfield. The following day, the twosome browsed at Old Station Antiques, hit the Lady Killigrew cafe and then capped off their G-rated weekend with an 11:30 p.m. stop at . . . Friendly’s. “It was so late that they were the only customers,” says a source at the eatery, where each ordered a sundae (a Happy Ending for her; the Forbidden Fudge Brownie for him). “They sat on the same side of the booth!”

NO BABY FOR SOFIA?

 Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara may be flaunting a fake bump on the set of Modern Family these days, but she’s not ready for a real one. The actress, 40, has been arguing with fiancé Nick Loeb, 37, over having a baby, says an insider. “Nick wants her to get pregnant, but she’s dead set against it.” Vergara, already a mom to son Manolo, 20, would rather focus on her red hot career. A source explains: “She feels having a child will ruin the sex-bomb image she’s worked to create.”
