Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield Smooch On the Streets of NYC

Sorry, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, but Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield just replaced you as the cutest couple in Hollywood, as far as I'm concerned. "The Help" star, 23, and "The Social Network" actor, 28, were snapped strolling hand-in-hand and even (gasp!) sharing a smooch as they shopped NYC's Parke and Ronen men's clothing store and dined at comfort food eatery Tipsy Parson on Sunday.

The couple, who fell in love while filming this summer's "The Amazing Spider-Man," were all smiles -- well, except when their lips were otherwise occupied -- as they confirmed that the romance that began last spring has lasted. Good thing cameras caught this, because Emma herself isn't talking when it comes to her hunky BF. "We're ... we're ... We get along very well," Emma revealed to the Daily Mail in October. "The only way to keep really personal stuff personal is just not to talk about it." But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Snoop Dog hit with minor drug charge in Texas

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Rapper Snoop Dogg is facing a minor drug charge in Texas after border agents say they found several joints on his tour bus.

Hudspeth County sheriff's office said in a statement that Snoop Dogg, whose name is Calvin Broadus, was arrested Saturday at the Sierra Blanca highway checkpoint and cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor typical in cases involving small amounts of marijuana.

According to the sheriff's office, a border agent smelled marijuana smoke coming from the bus and ordered everyone off so that a dog could inspect the vehicle. A prescription bottle with several marijuana cigarettes was found in a trashcan, and more marijuana was found in two other containers. In all, 0.13 pounds of the drug were found.

Broadus admitted the drug was his and was released, the sheriff's office said.

Broadus' agent didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. In interviews, the rapper has said he has a license to use medical marijuana in his home state of California because he suffers from migraines and blurred vision.

County Judge Becky Dean Walker says paraphernalia citations are typically handled by justices of the peace in the county and that they are resolved by a no contest plea and a mailed-in fine of up to $500.

Country singer Willie Nelson was arrested in November 2010 for marijuana possession at that same checkpoint.

Kim Novak lashes out at 'The Artist' filmmakers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Vertigo" leading lady Kim Novak isn't keeping quiet about her disdain for "The Artist."

The 78-year-old actress said in a statement released by her manager Monday that she feels violated because music from the Alfred Hitchcock film is used in the French black-and-white homage to the silent-film era. Novak said "The Artist" filmmakers had no reason "to depend on Bernard Herrmann's score from 'Vertigo' to provide more drama."

"My body of work has been violated by 'The Artist,'" Novak said. "This film took the love theme music from 'Vertigo' and used the emotions it engenders as its own. Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart can't speak for themselves, but I can. It was our work that unconsciously or consciously evoked the memories and feelings to the audience that were used for the climax of 'The Artist.'"

Novak, who played the dual role of both a suicidal trophy wife of a rich San Franciscan and a morose working girl opposite Stewart in in the 1958 thriller directed by Hitchcock, said that even though Herrmann was given "a small credit at the end," she believed "this kind of filmmaking trick to be cheating."

"The Artist," which was written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius and stars Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo as silent film actors, leads Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony with six nominations and is expected to be a front-runner at this year's Academy Awards. The wordless film combines a mostly original jazzy score, sound effects and old-fashioned title cards which display dialogue.

"'The Artist' was made as a love letter to cinema, and grew out of my (and all of my cast and crew's) admiration and respect for movies throughout history," Hazanavicius responded in a statement. "It was inspired by the work of Hitchcock, (Fritz) Lang, (John) Ford, (Ernst) Lubitsch, (F.W.) Murnau and (Billy) Wilder. I love Bernard Herrmann and his music has been used in many different films and I'm very pleased to have it in mine. I respect Kim Novak greatly, and I'm sorry to hear she disagrees."
