The photographer suing Keanu Reeves is playing the name game.

Alison Silva, who has filed a lawsuit against the Matrix star for allegedly bumping into Silva with his Porsche and knocking him to the ground in 2007, filed a motion Tuesday to prohibit Reeves' camp from referring to him in future proceedings as a paparazzo or member of the paparazzi.

Such terminology could cast him in a negative light with the jury, Silva argues, citing in part the blame placed on paparazzi for the death of Princess Diana.

He would prefer to be called a "reporter," "celebrity photographer" or "photojournalist," according to the filing.

The motion left Reeves' camp wondering, What about all the times Silva referred to himself as a paparazzo?

• Angelina gave Obama an almost-endorsement in Vanity Fair: "Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots.”

• The National Enquirer isn't backing down from their Jamie Lynn Spears story, because they're awesome like that.

• As if we needed any other reason to see Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes, check out these pictures from the set. Adorable.

• Aw, Audrina used to get picked on in high school. Come on girl, if you want to keep all the attention you finally managed to get, you gotta do better than that.

• Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin are apparently still in some kind of catfight. Yeah, we don’t know...

The Florida twins who are angling for a permanent spot in Hugh Hefner's boudoir, if not his heart, apparently have justification for their busts. Their other busts, that is.

While word broke just yesterday that 19-year-old bunnies-in-the-making Karissa and Kristina Shannon were recently on probation in Florida for aggravated battery, according to a police report obtained by E! News, the arrests only came about as a result of self-defense. (View the police report.)

Per the document, Karissa told St. Petersburg police that a coworker's boyfriend, named Ben, physically attacked her twin while they were partying at their coworker's apartment Jan. 10.

Hélio Castroneves just found a judge that was as easy to sway as Carrie Ann Inaba.

The 2007 Dancing With the Stars champ and former Indy 500 winner appeared in court today and managed to convince a federal judge in Miami to alter the travel-restriction terms of his bail on tax-dodging charges so he can jet to Australia to compete in a race.

The 33-year-old Brazilian-born racer had to surrender his passport last week as part of the conditions of his $10 million bond. Barring an appeal by prosecutors, he will now be allowed to get behind the wheel for the Oct. 26 event in Brisbane.

Last Saturday, Castroneves and teammate Ryan Briscoe won the American Le Mans Series Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta. The victory came a day after Castroneves pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and tax-evasion counts.

If convicted, he could face more than 30 years in federal prison.

After watching the new Twilight trailer, we’re feeling pretty giddy and want more of that  22-year-old foxy vampire/reluctant musician Robert Pattinson. So we were disheartened to realize we had to go back to MTV's VMAs just to find a picture.

With his movie coming out in just over a month, he should be out brunching at Toast (the Ivy would be too desperate) and maybe popping up on a random red carpet every now and then. While he did perform a couple of songs at Whisky A Go-Go last week, all we got was a fuzzy YouTube video in which we couldn’t even see his hair, which is just unacceptable.

We're not asking Robert to go courting paparazzi attention, but just show up someplace where the cameramen might snap his picture.

And while we're on the subject of RobPat's supreme foxiness, let's talk about that Twilight poster...

CSI was very, very bad for Grey's Anatomy. The presidential election was very, very good to Saturday Night Live—again.

In the first big Thursday night of the fall season, a premiering CSI (23 million viewers) killed a declining Grey's Anatomy (14.5 million).

On an otherwise so-so night for NBC, a half-hour SNL election special was the network's most watched show (10.6 million), even without Tina Fey or Sarah Palin, who may (or may not) show up on Saturday's late-night show. 

Other highlights from the night of premieres, per Nielsen Media Research stats:

John Cusack's stalking case didn't require a runaway jury. Or any jury, for that matter.

Emily Leatherman pleaded no contest today to a felony count of stalking the actor as part of a deal that will spare the 33-year-old any jail time.

Just two days ago, it seemed all but certain that Leatherman would go to trial on the charge when a Los Angeles Superior Court judge put the kibosh on a would-be plea deal after determining that the woman did not willingly accept the bargain.

Any lingering uncertainty has apparently been attended to, however, and Leatherman accepted the original deal: five years' probation, mandatory psychiatric counseling and avoiding Cusack's homes and businesses for the next 10 years.

Leatherman, who told the court she was only seeking help from Cusack after falling victim to a sex crime, has been behind bars since March, when she was arrested near the High Fidelity star's Malibu home.
