And she's off!

Kristen Stewart miraculously survived being out-awkward'd by Craig Ferguson this week when she stopped by The Late Late Show for an interview, and afterward, the actress was spotted hopping on board a private jet in El Lay!

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

VERY fancy of her, right?!

Well, it IS for a very good cause!

The actress was on her way to New York City to make an appearance at today's 12.12.12 event, which is a concert to raise money for those affected by Hurricane Sandy at Madison Square Garden!

And for your information, west coast Twi-Hards, R-Patz did NOT join her for the fundraiser!

Hey! Just saying! LOLz!

A Scientologist rehab center in Oklahoma is under fire for allegedly causing the deaths of at least four patients — but they're not the only ones.

Celeb Scientologist John Travolta has been supporting Narconon Arrowhead for years, and the families of the dead are just as upset with him.

Grieving mother Connie Werninck's daughter was among those who died while under the facility's care. She has settled her lawsuit out of court, but she had some choice words for the Grease star. She said:

Okay, let's get real here, folks.

We all knew this was only a matter of time!

In fact, we're pretty sure there's certain Twi-Hards out there who aren't KICKING themselves for not thinking of this first!

But yes, a Las Vegas woman named Lauren Adkins has reportedly raised $1,235 on the crowdfunding website indiegogo to pay for her upcoming WEDDING ceremony to a cardboard cut-out of Robert Pattinson's character in Twilight, Edward Cullen!

Now, before you explode into a thousand tiny sparkles of rage, jealousy, or any other emotion that may come be seeping through you right now, get this: it's all part of a performance art installation for her MFA thesis, as her focus of study is on ideas of love perpetuated through pop culture and how they affect our own expectations!

Well, this is awful.

A man who claimed he had cancer, but was a big giant bag of fraud, faked his way into getting a vacation to Disneyland for free. The deception of man knows no bounds when he wants a hug from Pluto.

Jeffrey Averett of South Jordan allegedly faked terminal cancer and got the family trip because if it, after a Mormon congregation threw a fundraiser for him. It was to be his "final" vacation — to the tune of $1,700.

He has been charged with felony communications fraud last Thursday.

His only mistake in this bonkers plan was

How adorbz was Katy Perry last night, getting her POTUS swag on?!

We previously showed you her AH-Mazing blue skirt suit and white latex Obama dress and now we get to see those outfits in action, from when she hit the stage!

Katy kicked off the America Forward! Grassroots event in Las Vegas last night with Let’s Stay Together and then went into some of her own hits, like Firework and Wide Awake!

Check out Mz. Perry looking presidentially spectacular (above)!!!

Katy urged the audience to vote — especially her young fans — and Barack seemed happy to have her support! Though, who wouldn't be?!

Not only did the Prez thank Katy, but also her Grandma, AKA the shining star of Katy Perry: Part Of Me!!

Our California Gurl took to Twitter afterwards, gushing:
