One of The Hollywood Gossip’s driving forces turns another year wiser today. He also got married earlier this spring. Happy birthday and wedding, Hilton Hater!

We’re not going to say how old he is, but let’s just say it’s too old to be running a celebrity gossip site (never mind that this blogger is months older … details).

Fortunately, he’s devoted much of his existence to THG since founding us in 2006. Our entire staff has him to thank for our success - and entertainment!

When he’s not reporting all the latest Twilight, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber gossip, Hilton Hater enjoys watching Glee and rocking out to Adam Lambert.

For more brilliance from HH on a daily basis, he is also the co-founder and expert critic-in-chief of TV Fanatic. The man watches a lot of TV. We benefit.

Hilton Hater used to go by Mischalova. We’ve been at this awhile.

It is not without irony that our long track record as a leader in celebrity news, rumors and gossip has rendered our fearless leader’s name a bit anachronistic.

Paris Hilton isn’t even in the news that much anymore, and when she is, it’s rarely worthy of hating. The ho-tel heiress has actually mellowed out quite a bit.

Should Hilton Hater adopt a more 2010-friendly moniker (see examples)? Or should he continue to go by his current handle? Vote below …

Welcome to The Hollywood Gossip’s Week in Review, where we take a look back on the last seven days in entertainment news, celebrity gossip, news and rumors.

Some of the highlights from May 1-7 include …

• NFL great Lawrence Taylor was arrested for rape. The accuser, who is only 16, allegedly told him she was 19, and was assaulted by her pimp (also arrested).
• It looks like is a Kendra Wilkinson sex tape out there. It may or may not be one of many, but it will definitely be exploited as fodder on her reality TV show.
• Jason Pfeiffer, a gay man of intermediate age, said he was dating Michael Jackson up until the singer died. His former boss, Dr. Arnold Klein, backs him up.
• David Boreanaz admitted cheating on his wife with a woman he says is trying to extort him. This is not Rachel Uchitel, who he also cheated with last year.
• A cheating scandal involving Barack Obama and Vera Baker was alleged. She denies this and nothing came of it, but after Rielle Hunter, you never know.

The alleged Barack Obama mistress … and Michael Jackson manstress.

• Britney Spears supposedly isn’t allowed to be alone with her kids.
• Country star Chely Wright announced publicly that she is gay.
• Lindsay Lohan won’t go to rehab, but may go to jail shortly.
• Justin Bieber is not smart. His fans may kill Kim Kardashian.
• Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed - the transformation is complete.
• Bristol Palin takes care of her kid. Being a parent is real hard!
• Bret Michaels is feeling better, and grateful for Kristi Gibson.

Chely Wright’s coming out as a lesbian surprised many.

• American Idol bid farewell to Aaron Kelly, leaving just four finalists in the competition. Lady Gaga performed on the show but was pissed by Fox’s editing.
• Speaking of Gaga: “Telephone” may have been recorded by Britney first; X-tina may be ganking her style (or vice versa); She does not have an amputated leg.
• Pamela Anderson was voted off Dancing with the Stars. A minor controversy erupted when Elisabeth Hasselbeck suggested Erin Andrews tone it down.
• Elin Woods was spotted jogging in Sweden without her wedding ring, sparking more divorce rumors. Meanwhile, new reports say Tiger had 121 mistresses.

The end is near, if not already here, for Charlie and Brooke.

• Couple news: Jessica Simpson and Jeremy Renner may be dating; Joanna Krupa is engaged to Romain Zago; Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are done.
• Baby news: Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a son; Morty Coyle knocked up Jodie Sweetin; Eric Dane’s cute daughter made her debut.
• Birthday boys and girls: Levi Johnston, Christina Hendricks, Brooke Hogan, Erin Andrews, Chris Brown, George Clooney and our very own Hilton Hater!
• R.I.P.: Lynn Redgrave.

What does Oprah Winfrey have to do with the status of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? Allow us to explain:

These two have already taped their appearance on Oprah’s talk show (it will air on May 13, Robert’s birthday! Eek!). Prior to taking the stage, as usual, the guests met with the host and went over what questions will be asked in front of the studio audience.

Winfrey warned that the topic of Rob and Kristen’s relationship would come up. She had to “go there.” But she’d allow the couple to be coy with their answer (they actually joke about Kristen being pregnant on the air) as long as they gave Oprah the actual answer off camera.

“Both Rob and Kristen’s people and Summit then confirmed ahead of time [Rob and Kristen] are together and are dating. One hundred percent,” a source told E! News.

This should close the case of Robsten forever. After all, who lies to Oprah?!?

As for the interaction between the love birds, this same insider revealed: “They weren’t super affectionate or anything. Kristen seemed a little awkward and nervous, but Rob didn’t at all. He was really friendly and was cracking jokes the entire time.”

Sounds like the personalities of each star that other sources have also confirmed. Will you tune in for their appearance on Oprah? Or, here’s a better question:

How many times will you watch their apearance on Oprah?
