Greg Mason said;“I didn’t even realize it was him when he walked through the door,” who was working as CBC’s doorman Saturday. “I really wasn’t star-struck too much, but seeing a star’s face is pretty cool.”

Jessica Eubanks had to wait to get to the second floor because it had reached capacity. After a couple of people left, she said she was allowed to go upstairs.

After maneuvering around bodyguards and “flirting” with production crew members, she managed to speak with the star for around 10 minutes.

“Ever since I found out that he was going to be in town filming, I was hoping that I would see him out somewhere. After hearing so many false claims of places that he was in town, when I heard that he was at CBC I didn’t believe it. 30 mins after the first time I heard he was there, my friend sent me a message saying that one of his friends was there and saw him. I got up, got dressed, threw on some makeup, and ran out the door.

We went in to the bar area and couldn’t see anything at all so we went back out to the front. We kept hearing people saying that he left so we decided to leave too. We got out the door and then we thought that there were still too many people there for him to be gone, so we went back in. This time we sat right inside the door at a table. My friend went over to go to the bathroom, but there was a guy standing outside of the door and he said ‘there’s someone in there’ and then the door to the bathroom hallway opens and out walks Rob and his 2nd bodyguard! We were all shocked and couldn’t even think to grab a camera because it was so sudden. He went back in the bar area and we decided we should move in there too. We moved in there and got a table. He was at the end of the room in a corner with all of his group.”

Rob Pattinson has been spotted or so they think? Is that Rob or not? And many fans are up with the lark ready to see their favourite actors. Channel 3 Eyewitness News was the only television crew on scene as Pattinson walked around in a hoodie, or so they say.

Robert is said to be filming the opening and closing scenes and he may only be there for one day, although there is a possibility his stay may continue into Saturday. The train museum is said to be closed until Tuesday, but I am sure that this won’t distract the fans from trying to get a peek at the filming.

West Cove Road is now blocked. Security is tight around the movie set. The fans were asked to go back to their vehicles, at about 6.30 this morning, it was just a precautionary thing, with no other incidence.

Taylor Lautner: If You Liked 'Twilight' You'll Love 'Abduction'

2010-07-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

From theimproper.com:

Taylor Lautner wowed fans with his physique in Twilight sequel “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” but in his new film, “Abduction,” he really gets to show off his martial arts skills. If you weren’t on Team Jacob before, you will be now. Lautner, 18, is busy shooting “Abduction” in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he’s causing quite a stir with local fans.

“There are hundreds of teenage girls camping out to meet him that have to be held back by barriers,” says co-star Isaacs. “Abduction” is a thriller that focuses on a youth (Lautner) who discovers the parents who raised him aren’t his real folks, a revelation that triggers events and leaves him running for his life.

The movie really puts Taylor’s skils to the test running, jumping and fighting. And he just doesn’t look good, he’s super-athletic in the movie, showcasing the martial-arts and gymnastic skills he learned on his way to becoming a junior world karate champ. “He’s a martial arts prodigy,” co-star Jason Isaacs told Metro yesterday (July 25). “Even at 11 he looked like [movie star and martial arts champion] Bruce Lee. He’s a phenomenon; he’s like a gold-medal gymnast.”

Well, gold medal may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Issacs, 47, got a chance to see Lautner’s skills first hand. He was initially apprehensive about doing fight scenes against an expert like Lautner. “He’s been doing karate since he was six!” says Jason. “I’ve done 10 kickboxing lessons. “Hollywood decided he is the latest action hero, apparently, and I’m there in this film to make him look even more muscular. And I’ll do that.”

This isn’t the first time a castmate was amazed by Lautner’s super-athleticism. In June, Eclipse co-star Elizabeth Reaser (“Esme Cullen”) raved that Taylor was the fittest person she had ever seen. Taylor, who famously gained 30 pounds of rippling muscle for “Twilight: New Moon” and “Eclipse,” reveals he did fight training and boxing for the intense action scenes in “Abduction.” “I’ve been training,” Taylor said. “I did boxing training for a couple months. Now I’m into the fight training, motorcycle. ‘ll do a little swimming training. It’s all-around. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The action and stuntwork is right up Lautner’s alley. Taylor, a junior-world karate champ at age 12, says he would love to be action hero like fictional superspy Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon). “I love action, but most important is the story,” he says. “And the story behind this action thriller ['Abduction'] is amazing. We got [director] John Singleton behind us. I’m so thankful we’re getting a cast like that.”

Later this year, Taylor will begin shooting “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth installment in the “Twilight” saga. Breaking Dawn will be broken up into two separate films, with Part 1 due out in November 2011.

Robert Pattinson suited up on the set of Water for Elephants in LA today. The intense emotional scenes they were working on take place at Cornell in the book, so UCLA stood in for the upstate NY university. The movie wraps filming soon, but first the cast will relocate to Tennessee for a few days of shooting. Robert and his costars had the weekend off, which meant a trip to see Salt and attend a party with a friend for Mr. Pattinson. Christoph Waltz headed to Comic-Con, which Rob's an expert at after two years of Twilight promotion. This time he got to skip the fan frenzy in San Diego, though he was still a topic of conversation when Christoph fielded questions about Rob's Oscars hopes for their current project.

Michael Welch's 'Unrequited' To Have Free Screening Tomorrow in Kentucky

2010-07-26T14:55:00.000-07:00

From LexGo:

In the Twilight movie series, Michael Welch, right, plays Mike, with Anna Kendrick, left, as Jessica, Justin Chon as Eric and Christian Serratos as Angela. Welch's latest film is Unrequited, which was filmed in Kentucky last year and will have its local premiere Tuesday in a free screening at Amstar 14 in Brannon Crossing in Nicholasville.

Central Kentucky moviegoers can consider themselves lucky: On Tuesday, they can see a film that won't go nationwide for several months.

Written and produced by Kentucky production company Lucky Day Studios and shot in the Bluegrass State, Unrequited follows the downward spiral of Ben Jacobs (Michael Welch, The Twilight Saga movies), a troubled young man, as he struggles to cope with his frustrating (to say the least) relationships with the ones he loves, particularly ex-girlfriend Jessica (Sarah Habel). As the title suggests, she doesn't return the feeling.

After being named runner-up on Steven Spielberg's fleeting 2007 Fox reality show On the Lot, which pitted 50 amateur directors against one another, Winchester director Jason Epperson makes a debut with Lucky Day Studios, helming Unrequited. It is the studio's first feature film.

Writer and producer Jeff Day is "very pleased" with how things worked out, especially the performance of the cast.

"Welch is a beast of an actor," Day said, "and Sarah is just as phenomenal. ... We really had some great acting."

Lucky Day and its distributor, Arc Light, are waiting to hear from several film festivals and are working on the overseas marketing before trying to move Unrequited to U.S. theaters, Day said.

"Arc Light, our distributor, is busy selling in territories overseas," Day said. "Our film has sold in Russia, Italy, France, Romania and Eastern Europe. We're really pleased with the overseas reception.

"As for U.S. distribution, we're aiming for that in the fall. We want to wait until the Toronto Film Festival in September, which is where these films get picked up."

He said it also was selected for the AceFest film festival in New York in August.

Cam Gigandet Chats About 'Priest' with MTV

2010-07-26T13:22:00.000-07:00

Popout

From MTV:

'It's not like a 'vampire film'; there's so much more to it,' 'Priest' co-star Karl Urban tells MTV News at Comic-Con. Ever since he lit up the screen as delightfully devious "Twilight" villain James, Cam Gigandet's career has been on the rise. When MTV News caught up with him during Comic-Con on Friday (July 23), we asked about his character in the upcoming "Priest" — which is based on the celebrated comic book series — and, since the film coincidentally involves vampires, if he had any hesitation in taking on the part.

"I play Sheriff Hicks," he said. "I'm the sheriff of a small town where my girlfriend gets kidnapped by this pack of vampires, so I enlist Paul Bettany's, Priest's, help, and we are on the road to find and rescue her."

Gigandet said that, although there are vampires involved in the movie, fans expecting the romantic "Twilight"-style vamps will be in for a shock.

"It's very, very different from 'Twilight,' " he said. "The similarities kind of end with what they're called, which is vampires."

Gigandet said the world of "Priest," directed by Scott Charles Stewart, is also entirely different. "The world Scott created is kind of unlike any other," he said. "Sometimes it was hard to visualize what he had in his mind, but I've seen clips, and its unbelievable. ... Just to work with all of these people, they're such an amazing cast. I didn't have any doubts [about taking on another vampire-related role]."

Gigandet's co-star, "Star Trek" star Karl Urban, said he's never seen a movie like this. "This is a post-apocalyptic vampire western," he said. "The emphasis isn't heavily on the fact — it's not like a 'vampire film'; there's so much more to it."

As far as what "Twilight" fans can expect to see, and fans of the original comic book, Gigandet and his co-stars said there is something for everyone in the film, because it is emotional and character-driven.

"[There are] so many different levels, and so many people are doing things that sacrifice for all sorts of love," Gigandet said. "It's not just one set love story. There are so many different levels going on."

"Priest" is set to open in May 2011.

Taylor Lautner Plays A Wrestler in 'Abduction'

2010-07-26T13:07:00.000-07:00

From foreign.peacefmonline:

In late December, College Wrestling Examiner reported that Taylor Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight movie series was in talks to star in a remake of Vision Quest, the 1985 movie about a high school wrestler.

Now the 18-year-old star of the summer blockbuster Eclipse is playing a prep matman in another movie, Abduction, now being filmed in the Pittsburgh area.

IMDB.com, an independent online resource for television and movies, describes Abduction as, “a thriller centered on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website.” (The website BuzzSugar.com says, “Sounds a whole lot like The Face on the Milk Carton, but everything old is new again in Hollywood, right?”)

Abduction is produced by Lionsgate Films, and directed by John Singleton, nominated for two Oscars for The Boyz in the Hood. Along with Lautner, the cast includes heavyweight Hollywood stars Signorney Weaver, Alfred Molina, and Maria Bello.

Last week, scenes were filmed at Hampton High School outside Pittsburgh. Here’s how an Associated Press article described the situation:

The cheerleaders, dance drill team and marching band were hired as extras. In the movie, Lautner’s school will have the same name, same colors, same mascot as theirs.

Wrestling team members were cast as Lautner’s fictional teammates and opponents. Students spoke reverently about the fact that their math teacher and wrestling coach, Joe Bursick, a Hampton grad, would train Lautner for the movie and appear in it.

“My guys are pretty excited,” Bursick said of his team. “Even some who graduated came back for this.” Wrestling Hollywood’s sexiest werewolf hasn’t exactly hurt their popularity.

Wrestling scenes involving a dual meet between Hampton and Fox Chapel high schools were filmed last Tuesday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In the movie, Lautner’s character is a prep wrestler; actual Hampton matman Jacob Hart played his opponent.

“I’m supposed to lose to him,” said Hart, who recently completed his freshman year at Hampton. “I don’t like to lose, but in this case, I don’t mind. I’m really looking forward to my acting debut. It will be a lot of fun.”

Hart has impressive mat credentials. Wrestling varsity at 189 pounds in his first year at Hampton, Hart compiled a 26-9 record, which included a second-place finish in the Section 3-AAA tournament and a fourth-place finish in the WPIAL Class AAA championships, just missing the chance to wrestle at the Pennsylvania state tournament.

Hart is wrestling Greco-Roman at 215 pounds at the Cadet Nationals in Fargo for the Pennsylvania team, the first Hampton wrestler to compete at the national event in more than a quarter-century. In addition to being a varsity wrestler and actor, Hart plays football at Hampton.

Taylor Lautner apparently has some personal combat experience himself. At the time a Vision Quest remake was being discussed, E! News reported: “Lautner is an accomplished martial artist, who won several titles as a child.” Hampton coach Bursick gave the Hollywood heartthrob high marks: “He picked up on it (wrestling) really quickly. He’s a very good athlete.”

Despite WFE being one of the most talked-about sets right now, he's totally enjoying working with Rob and Reese and all the baggage that comes with."

Rachelle Lefevre apparently isn’t going to rest until she plays a doctor on TV. The ex-Twilight actress, who had a role in John Wells’ ill-fated CBS medical drama pilot, is joining the cast of ABC’s upcoming Shonda Rhimes-backed physicians-in-paradise soap Off the Map.

Lefevre’s character, Eva, is a free-spirited missionary doc who is well versed in international medicine and global health. She worked at the clinic before, but left due to her troubled romantic history with its founder, Ben (Martin Henderson).

Lefevre is also known for her recurring roles on What About Brian, Boston Legal, and Swingtown.

Even though they won't start shooting until August, Hedlund had nothing but nice things to say about Stewart. "She's got it all there. She's where she needs to be. She's fantastic," he gushed.

"We've had wonderful times up there in Montreal. Just hoping to make a wonderful film that can fulfill everyone's expectation of what this can actually be," Hedlund said. "The family that we're surrounded by is wonderful and unbelievable and, for me, I'm kind of on cloud nine."

Stewart also had nothing but kind words for Hedlund when we caught up with her at an "Eclipse" screening last month.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart America’s Favorite Young Actors

2010-07-24T15:43:00.000-07:00

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are the most popular couple in Hollywood at the moment. Fresh off of their “Twilight” fame, their faces are recognizable practically anywhere they go. Stewart plays Bella Swan, who is forced to choose between the characters that are played by Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in the movies. It sounds like they are living the life that everyone dreams of, but it can be hard to adjust to all of the fame that they have received over the course of the last few months.
Rumors about the couple are constantly started. Just a few months ago, one rumor said that the couple was planning on getting married (keep in mind, this is before they even announced that they were officially dating, which they still have not done) which was followed the very next day by a rumor that said that they were planning on breaking up.
Stewart recently came under fire after she compared living in the limelight to being “raped.” She quickly apologized for the insensitive comparison, but most people knew what she meant when she said it.
“The photos are so… I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it. I never expected that this would be my life,” she said at the time.
The couple is a perfect example of how hard it can be to adjust to new found fame when you were not expecting it. As far as they knew, they were taking a role in a movie that was adapted from a popular book series. They had no way of knowing that they would turn into mega-stars overnight.

Jackie Zane talks about Rob, Tai & filming WFE

2010-07-24T15:39:00.000-07:00

Jackie Zane - Lucinda, Benzini Bros. Circus Sideshow Performer:

“Working on the set of ‘Water for Elephants’ (WFE) was, in my opinion, AMAZING! I have been on a number of sets in various capacities as an actor. Whether lead role, supporting role, featured role, or background role…there is often a strict hierarchy and segregation among the levels. I have experienced each extreme, and witnessed a similar treatment among the production crew. The WFE set was a much different atmosphere as everyone from top to bottom was treated with the utmost respect! This seems like such an irony as the story of the circus depicted in this film had much focus on the separation of classes. I realized early on that this film experience would be unique and I cherished every moment. Although personal cameras were banned from the actual set, the images are burned in my memory. So when I am like Older Jacob, at “90 or 93 years old – I can’t remember”, I will look back on my days with the traveling circus fondly.

Many people have asked for specific details on the filming process, and I have been requested to share with a couple different blogs. In an effort to avoid monotonous descriptions, I am sharing various accounts of my experience…so here goes! My first day on the set was a long one, about sixteen hours, and I didn’t get bored once. Everything was incredibly organized as we were shuttled through each phase of the day. First it was to base camp where after checking in and having breakfast, I visited wardrobe, then hair and make-up. This is where a young man in smeared clown make-up is sitting next to me and we are making casual light talk. He extends his hand to me and says “I’m Rob, by the way!” Ahh I get to share the make-up trailer with Robert Pattinson. (So many young girls would love to be in my shoes.) He is the epitome of friendly. He is charming and witty with the tendency to giggle as he was being fitted in one silly looking wig after another. This superstar had no ego to speak of. He was gracious and above all….human. This was my first impression of him, but it repeated itself each day. We shared several conversations in the make-up trailer and he always made a point to say hello when on set. A few moments later, a gorgeous red headed woman with sparkling eyes and a dazzling smile joins us. She immediately approaches me with genuine glee and introduces herself using an alluring southern accent. This woman is Donna Scott, who plays the role of Barbara. This gal is beautiful inside and out and greeted me each day with a hug and kiss on the cheek. There is already something magical happening as the ease and friendliness of the actors unfolds.

Once I am transformed into a 1930’s style wig and make-up, I am taken to set to shoot a breakfast scene with a large number of other featured performers under an authentically tattered circus tent. The zebras, horses, and llamas in the background, I am seated next toKinko played by the fantastic actor Mark Povinelli. (I had the pleasure of working with him in an episode of ‘Cold Case’, so it was great to see a familiar face!) My other table-mates were the Benzini Bros. Circus clowns!!! They were the utmost fun!!! It brought a whole new meaning to the term ‘clowning around’ and the circus family feeling soon emerged! We were laughing while shooting a scene where Jacob wakes up from a rough night in unfamiliar clothes. He soon realizes that he is also positioned to wake up shoved in a trunk and placed on a pedestal in the breakfast tent. He must make his humiliating walk of shame through the crowd and past our table.

Several takes later, we were given a lunch break. It’s finally a chance to get to know some of the other amazing people. In a cast of mostly men, the ladies bonded together instantly. Show Girls, Coochie Girls, and Side Show Performers UNITE! This did not keep us from getting to know the men however. C’mon! A tent full of handsome fellas in 1930’s attire is enough to make any girl swoon!! There is just something elegant and romantic about that era, whether a suit, band uniform, or dirty workman’s overalls…the look was stunning! Costume designer Jacqueline West and her team had an incredible eye for detail. Each and every person went through daily inspection to insure authenticity. While in my sideshow costume, I always wore an embroidered butterfly on my foot or ankle. A small vintage detail that will most likely go unnoticed, but is an example of how thorough they were! After lunch, I am summoned to wardrobe for a costume change and make-up refresher… then swept away to a private photo shoot where a few of us were photographed individually. In an effort to recreate some old vintage photographs, our images are going to be used as some of the movie props. Afterwards, it’s back to wardrobe for costume change number three. The day is flying by and I hardly notice that I am already into the tenth hour!

The sky is darkening as we are in our make-up trailers preparing for the party scene in Kinko’s train car. As is often the case with film, many scenes are shot out of sequence. It is actually supposed to be the night before the breakfast scene we finished earlier in the day. As evening envelopes, the production crew is hard at work setting up for the night shoot. The amount of light permeating the darkness from the giant flood lights is obnoxious. However the talented crew uses the right angles, shadows, and effects to enhance the mood. Herbal cigarettes, matches, and mugs are handed out to create the party atmosphere as we oooh and ahhh as Queenie the dog performs tricks. The desert night is cool and brisk as we film into the wee hours. After wrapping for the day, I make my way back to base camp to change out of my costume and turn in my wig. As we board our shuttle to return to parking, it amazes us that the group of people parked outside of the set entrance from this morning is still there. I later learn that these are the dedicated fans, known as ‘set soldiers’, that continued showing the love and support day in and day out through the entire filming process. Their constant enthusiasm and heartfelt waves to everyone involved was endearing. It was clear that most of them were there in support of Rob or Christoph, but they did not discriminate. They made us all feel loved! Hence, crawling into bed at 3:00am was a glorious feeling. It had been a full day and I felt like a lot was accomplished. I couldn’t wait for my next day of filming. My shoot dates were scattered throughout the months of May, June, and July. Each day was a new and exciting adventure as we would escape back to the 1930’s. The WFE circus family was full of interesting personalities that was an incredible mix of people. We all seemed to genuinely like each other and every single one of us felt honored to be part of such an amazing group.

Other scenes included the interior of the train, another breakfast, under the big top with Rosie, and a scene in front of a green screen. The easy going vibe continued throughout the filming. The first day I worked with Reese Witherspoon, she approached a group of us and introduced herself. She would always go out of her way to say hello to me and was extremely approachable. No wonder she has one of the best reputations in Hollywood for nicest person to work with! Her kids visited the set a few times and she beamed with pride when we chatted about them. I’ll say the same for her as I did Rob. She was incredibly friendly and above all…human. Then there was Christoph Waltz. I worked with him for three days and even when standing just inches from him, I could only muster a shy “Hi”. I found myself feeling dumbfounded! He was fantastic during his scenes, and joked around between takes. Yet, I found myself star struck. Finally I was sitting next to him in the make-up trailer (clearly the BEST place to meet people!!), and officially introduced myself. He was friendly, laughed at a joke I made and exchanged pleasantries. Suddenly he was in my eyes …human. Although there is something thrilling about being near someone that makes you feel star struck, there is so much more satisfaction to see them as a real person. At least that is how I feel.

The most amazing star however was, hands down, Tai the elephant. She played Rosie and is absolutely mesmerizing. I kept hearing about her from others who got to work with her, or watch her practice. I was often filming other scenes or being prepped and had missed out on several opportunities to see her. The first time I saw her was close up. She was walking beside me into the big top tent for a scene. I stopped to let her pass and she radiated warmth and kindness with her amber eyes. She is incredibly well trained and docile. She seemed absolutely smitten with Rob. She raised her trunk to sniff his face repeatedly as he gently pet her in an effort to give her attention while he focused on receiving direction for the scene. It was such a Kodak moment but alas, I had no camera.

Francis Lawrence is like no director I have worked with before. Often as a featured or background actor, one does not see much of the director. There is usually a group of people huddled behind the monitors and direction comes via walkie-talkie to the Assistant Director who then relays the info to the background. This is just common practice. Although this practice was used some of the time, Francis was very accessible. He was often walking around the set, chatting with all the actors and setting up the scene. Heck, I even saw him act as a stand-in (when the hired stand-in was unavailable) so they could set the lighting and camera angle!! He made a point of saying hello to us by name as we passed by. He made us feel important to each and every scene.

During the busier filming days on WFE, additional crew people were hired in several capacities. One visiting crew member said to me, “If a fish stinks at the head, then it is rotten all the way down to its tail.“ This metaphor is in reference to many situations she has encountered in the industry. It was, however a backwards reflection on WFE as she followed with “When it’s good at the top, it’s good all the way through.” Her meaning was that everyone working on WFE was fantastic, and therefore, this fish was good head-to-tail. It didn’t matter if it was the producer, director, principle actor, hair/make-up/wardrobe, caterer, background actor, background wrangler, or security guard; everyone was treated with respect and a part of a whole.

I felt honored and proud to a part of this film. It is a project where the old saying ‘There are no small parts’ rings true. All too often, the background and featured background actors are not acknowledged or appreciated with the respect they deserve. I often shy away from extra work for this very reason. So it was incredibly refreshing to be a part of such a fantastic story along with equally amazing people. I would like to thank everyone who worked on the film, as well as Sara Gruen for writing such a fascinating story. A very special thank you goes to the fans that have showed such tenacious support. This experience will always hold a special place in my heart!”

Thanks , Jackie, for sharing your set story.

Robert Kestler says Rob will be an Oscar winner

2010-07-24T15:36:00.000-07:00

Robert Kestler: Benzini Bros. Circus Core Roustabout

Thank you for asking about my experience on this project. I hope everyone will enjoy this film.

From day one on this project Francis Lawrence showed a total genius for film making. His use of the surroundings, sunlight, imagination, and a keen eye made for true movie magic. We shot several scenes at dawn and dusk. The “golden hour” was truly used to it’s fullest by Francis. The cast, namely Robert, Reese and Christoph were truly amazing. Each one truly genuine and kind. Working with two Oscar winners and a future Oscar winner was amazing. Robert Pattinson will show the world with this movie his versatility and depth as an actor. The fight scenes between Robert and Christoph were true genius. Both on the part of the actors and the fact they did the fights themselves.

Reese is a wonderful and genuine person. I was privileged to speak with her on set. You will not find a more skilled and polished actress anywhere. Christoph is a true professional. His focus on his character and making it real is second to none. As one of the Core Benzini Roustabouts I was on set quite a bit. We “rousties” actually became like family. We got into character very quickly because of it. The scenes where we raised the circus tent, and hammered tent stakes were made perfect by this relationship. We knew we could count on each other and that made the scene chemistry flow. Now about the animals. Francis and the animal wranglers made pure gold. Rosie, the elephant, was magic to watch. She is so intelligent and gentle. She took her cues coupled with Francis’ vision and made this movie HUGE. The other animals were amazing as well. Major the lion who would not roar, The tigers, bear, and panther were beautiful. The shots of the stampede will be amazing.

I love period movies. So being able to participate in Water for Elephants was a joy. My great-grandfather, Philip Morris, made movies as an actor, in the 1920′s through the 1940′s. The realistic nature of the era made me feel closer to him. It was that real on set! I felt like I had left 2010 and was actually in 1931. There was an electric anticipation each day to see what we would be doing. Though there was real hard work involved I had a lot of fun. The wardrobe, the action, the area we filmed in made it all the more fun. I will eagerly await this films release. I cannot wait to see how they put together all of this genius. The cast and crew along with a great story made this film a pleasure to work on. Everyone was respectful and professional. But I can’t stop without mentioning the fans. The fans made all of us from the smallest role to the biggest star feel loved. Without them this would just have been another great film. The fans added an element of love that made me want to do it for them. Everyday when we came to set and when we left we saw the fans waving to us. What a joy to see people so interested in a film and its actors. I hope everyone enjoys this film because I loved making it.”

Thank you, Robert Kestler, for sharing your WFE filming experience.

New York - The iTunes release of The Summer House, featuring Twilight star Robert Pattinson, has debuted at number one in 4 territories.

Within hours of it hitting the iTunes Movie Store, the film had already topped movie sales charts in the US, Canada, Ireland and Germany, fending off competition from key blockbusters like Avatar and Green Zone.

Audiences have spoken, short movies rock, said Carter Pilcher CEO of Shorts International. As The Summer House’s record breaking dominance atop the movie chart demonstrates,short movies are the entertainment sweet spot for fans who are shifting to shorter, sharper bursts of entertainment.

An Account of the Benzini Brothers Parade

2010-07-23T15:12:00.000-07:00

H2OforElephants have an account from Emily Gregorio who has been working as an extra in Water for Elephants. She narrates what happened on the day of the parade, the actors, Rosie and she was also lucky enough to talk to Sara Gruen. Awesome, loved it, thanks for writing it down so we could all enjoy your experiance.

First, the Big Top Band rolled through playing their instruments. The clowns and various circus acts followed; and then, there she was, Tai the elephant (Rosie). She was wearing her usual headdress and was made-up with fake wounds as Reese Witherspoon (Marlena) rode her down the street, waving. Everyone was all-smiles as Christoph Waltz (August) walked by their side showing them off. However, in character, Robert Pattinson (Jacob) was watching closely to see if August was going to beat Rosie, as he was notorious for. The parade went on as zebras, llamas, and a lion followed down the street. “Cut!” the AD yelled, and the extras and actors all returned to their 2010-selves.

While waiting in the hot July sun, it was nearing lunchtime as they sent many extras back to the holding area. I was one of the lucky few that were chosen to stay for the close-up shot with Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz. This shot was awesome because I would get the chance to be inches away from Rob as he walked down the street for the parade (every Rob-lover’s dream). We were told to pantomime so the sound guys could pick up Rob and Christoph reciting their lines.

This scene was pretty intense as both the actors spat their lines with anger toward one another while trying to keep their composure for the crowd. Both Christoph and Rob did this part very well considering their strong friendship off camera. After many takes of that (which I’m not complaining about at all haha) we were finally off to lunch. I have to admit for the amount of people they had to feed, the food was really good! We had pasta, cheesy potatoes, corn, bread, salad, ice cream, brownies, and cookies.

While we had a break between takes, I had the privilege of talking with the author. She asked me when I got there and when I responded, 3:30am, she was shocked and seemed grateful that I and many others had been there for over 16 hours to bring her story to life. I then asked her how it felt having her story made into a major motion picture and she said, “I work with words, and words cannot even describe.” (something she later posted on her facebook profile). We chatted for a while after that about different things about the book and what she thought about the script (which she thought was very well written). We finished up the day with a few more shots of the same thing and were released at 8:30pm.

Sabrina Frank (German Mission Hollywood Winner) talks about meeting Kristen & Rob

2010-07-23T12:13:00.000-07:00

Sabrina Frank was cast as Vera in 'Eclipse', Rosalie's friend in her back story. Her part was eventually cut from the film. In an interview with Glamour (Germany) she talked about Rob & Kristen.
Rough translation by: Google Translations & PSG

Glamour: Did you notice the Hype around that Robert & Kristen?

Sabrina: Yes, very much so!! It really is unbelievable that the fans would find all the locations. On my first day of shooting, we were driven into the middle of the woods, I would have never found this way, and when we got there, there were already dozens of fans waiting. I was completely shocked, but my driver said, the fans sometimes know even before the cast and crew. While it is roped off and they do not come anywhere near the set, for the fans it is the greatest, when a car drives past and they they might see Rob, Kristen or another cast member.

Glamour: Did you meet Rob & Kristen personally?

Sabrina: Yes, I sat with them two times. That was altogether a very calm and really pleasant situation. I respect Rob and Kristen and the job they do and am very grateful that I got to know them.

Glamour: Did you feel Rob & Kristen were arrogant?

Sabrina: It's surprising that the actors who had more minor roles in "Eclipse", met me with such great arrogance, some did not even shake my hand or look me in the eyes. That was all very superficial. Kristen and Rob on the other hand looked at me very interested, shook my hand and listened as I spoke. I found them very enjoyable and authentic, very different than expected.

Glamour: The talk is all about a real life romance between the two, did you see something like this?

Sabrina: Well, I only saw them together once, and I think they are way too professional to kiss and cuddle on set.

Glamour: You were four days immersed in "Eclipse", what were your highlights?

Sabrina: Meeting Rob and Kristen. And to see how human and down to earth the two really are. I would love to make things better for them, because I feel so sorry, they need to hide all the time, because at the fences hang the fans and paparazzi. They don't have a single minute for themselves. They really amaze me that they can still remain so normal when things around them can sometimes get insane. Also, I was taken seriously as an actress, I was allowed to speak with director David Slade, like any other actor, about my role. It was great.

Robert Pattinson's Look Inspires Range Of M&S Underpants

2010-07-23T09:52:00.000-07:00

From Guardian.co.uk

A teenage vampire is not the obvious choice of inspiration for a range of men's underpants. But Robert Pattinson, or R Patz as the star of The Twilight Saga is known by fans, has been named as the inspiration behind Marks and Spencer's new slim-fit underwear.

Dubbed the R-Pant, the low-rise briefs and trunks are designed to be worn under skinny jeans and trousers, a look popularised by the likes of Russell Brand and Mark Ronson, two celebrities the chain cites as design influences.

Despite widely reported criticism by Jeremy Paxman in 2008 when the Newsnight presenter claimed "their pants no longer provide adequate support", one in four UK men still wear M&S pants, according to the retailer.

The R-Pant launch is a thinly-veiled marketing strategy designed to appeal to a younger audience and to sex-up its underwear range. "Over the last three years we've seen an increase in the popularity of hipsters," says Richard Beale, head of merchandising. "The new range is designed to appeal to a younger, fashion-savvy customer."

Olie Arnold, style director of Men's Health, believes there is a market for lower-rise pants. "I hate seeing the waistbands of men's pants poking out of the top of their jeans," he said. He questioned whether M&S was the right target market. "Do M&S really even sell skinny jeans? Maybe lots of women will buy them for their husbands and boyfriends, though."

In recent years footballers have been used to market men's underwear. Cristiano Ronaldo is the current poster boy for Emporio Armani, a role he inherited from David Beckham. Pattinson's skinnier aesthetic is a move away from this trend.

Pattinson will not star in an advertising campaign for M&S.(Kate: Damn it) But a spokesman said the Twilight actor has been seen shopping for underwear at the store. The new range will go on sale in September.

Nikki Reed launches official website

where you get official updates of projects and blogs about random topics from her love for photographing the sun to directing Sage's new music video (the video is set to premiere @hotelcafe on 6/26/10).

Is Robsten's story similar to that of Zac & Vanessa's?

2010-07-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's story is not far from Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens'. Well, the only question that the Robsten love team is still not answering is "the dating one".

Dating, it has a very simple meaning,which is the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity. Traditional dating activities include entertainment or a meal.

But Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's previous "out and abouts" together are not dating, well, according to them.

Kristen Stewart even mentioned that all the hype is understandable because her closeness with Robert Pattinson is undeniably there. She was right!!

As for Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, the two decided two start dating in real life after making two High School Musical movies.

And like Robert and Kristen's current case, Vanessa first denied the rumors, she once told Seventeen Magazine"It's funny! We're such good friends, so to say that we're dating, I don't know. Rumors are rumors!"

Rumors are rumors, yeah right. This interview happened two months before the showing of HSM 2.

Months after the Seventeen interview, Vanessa’s reps confirm to AOL Music in August 2007 that her music video for "Say Ok" (in which Zac also stars) was not just good eye candy, but also served as the duo's "coming out" as a couple.

After that, they started dating publicly. And after admitting, the media attention started to fade away.

Maybe Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are still not ready to admit their "real relationship" because:

1. They're scared that the media attention will also "fade away." (I don't think so, they're Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, hello?).

2. They want a more private relationship, unlike Zac and Vanessa, who wants to become the Brad and Angelina Jr.

3. Rob and Kristen's original plan is to admit that they're dating after Breaking Dawn, meaning, after all Twi-fever is over?

No matter what the case may be, we love Robert & Kristen, and wish them only the best now and in the future!!

There has been speculation that Bel Ami will be released in December 2010. We have now received the following official clarification regarding the movie’s release which is still set for 2011.

Protagonist Pictures have listed the movie’s ‘delivery’ date as December 2010 which means the finished film is due to be delivered to the various distributors by this date. This is separate to its ‘release’ date and it’s still too early to know when this will be, though 2011 is more likely than 2010.

We hope this clarifies the reason why December 2010 is listed on Protagonist Picture’s website and we will update you as soon as an exact release day has been set.

What To Expect From Kristen's Role in 'On The Road'

2010-07-22T16:04:00.000-07:00

via Robstenation and all things Twilight

~SPOILER ALERT~

The 20-year-old will leave Twilight behind to play Marylou Moriarty, the slutty young wife of arty wanderer Dean Moriarty (Tron: Legacy’s Garrett Hedlund) in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s iconic Beat Generation novel, On the Road.

She sleeps around! Marylou bumps uglies with both Dean and his best friend, Sal (British actor Sam Reilly), has car sex with Dean while Sal sleeps AND gets it on with at least nine sailors!

• She says ‘I do’ – TWICE! Marylou marries Dean, divorces him and then gets hitched to a…car salesman. Trading up baby, trading up.

• She’s got blond ambition! Buh-bye brunette beauty – Kristen has returned to her strawberry blond roots (believe it or not) to play Marylou!

• She’s FINALLY get to dress like, well, Kristen Stewart! “Beatnik” is just an old-fashioned word for “hipster’, which is just K-Stew’s style! Think striped shirts, oversized sweaters, cowl-collared tops, slim-fit pants or pencil skirts, skinny Capri pants and eastern religious-symbol jewelry. However, female “beatniks” are a bit more feminine than the tomboyish starlet – so she might not TOTALLY love her new look.

• K-Stew will struggle to be smoking hot! Literally. Beatniks roll their own cigarettes.

• She wants to hold your hand! We know how Kristen loves her indie bands, but if she really wants to get into her character, she’s going to need to embrace Beat bands like Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd and, of course, The Beatles.

Peter Facinelli Says 'Loosies' Is A 'Very Personal Movie'

2010-07-22T15:56:00.001-07:00

from Everything But Twilight

CRANSTON — Director Michael Corrente is sitting on a director’s chair in a hallway of the old Cranston police station watching a widescreen TV monitor where Peter Facinelli is playing an emotion-charged scene in the movie “Loosies.”

Facinelli, co-star of the highly successful “Twilight” movies and Showtime TV’s “Nurse Jackie,” is in his undershirt at a kitchen table which is part of a movie-set kitchen that’s on the other side of the partition directly behind Corrente.

The set, which is supposed to be in a New York City apartment, is so tiny there’s room to fit only the actors, cinematographer and sound man. But Corrente, who is directing his first film since “Brooklyn Rules” in 2007, says it doesn’t matter that he’s not up front with the actors. With the new digital technology, which allows the camera to hone in blazingly close on Facinelli’s eyelashes, he can direct the movie via TV monitor, with only occasional forays onto the actual set where Facinelli’s character is having a tense moment with his mother, played by Marianne Leone of “The Sopranos.”

Although “Loosies” is set entirely in New York, Corrente says 80 percent of it will be shot in the old Cranston lockup, where elaborate sets have been constructed and a small army of movie technicians has set up shop in old offices, even hallways. The crew has already shot some scenes in downtown Providence as well, and Corrente expects there will be a couple of days of filming in New York by a second-unit crew once principal photography is completed here in about four weeks. The crew has been in this location since July 15 and at times the heat has been unbearable, broken only by two huge portable air conditioning units which must be shut off whenever the camera rolls.

For Facinelli, who looks far different and much handsomer than the 360-year-old pale and blonde vampire he plays in the “Twilight” films … and even younger than his own 36 years, “Loosies” is a very personal movie. He started writing the screenplay nine years ago. “It seems like eons ago,” he says, “a coming-of-age story about a 30-year-old guy who finally learns that he must take responsibility.”

In “Loosies” he plays Bobby, a New York pickpocket in his mid-30s who still lives with his mother, dresses in business suits and tells his mom he works on Wall Street when he leaves in the morning. A classy-looking thief, he’s amassing money to pay back his long-absent father’s gambling debts. His footloose life is upended when the young woman with whom he had a one-night stand returns to announce that she’s pregnant with his child.

Facinelli chuckles when asked if the plot came from somewhere in his own background. Actually, he says, “Loosies” is his “updated homage” to the caper films of the 1970s that he fell in love with on TV when he was growing up — Steve McQueen’s films and especially “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” which he calls “the whole reason I got into acting. Those films were loose, fast-paced. I wanted to make a movie that reminded me of that kind of genre.”

Facinelli says not much happened with “Loosies” — “I put it away in a drawer” — until a series of fortuitous events found him crossing paths with Corrente. Several years ago Facinelli had auditioned for a role in a film about a group of young guys who get involved with gangsters, but the director at the time thought the Queens-born actor wasn’t right for the script’s Queens-born character. Later, when Corrente took over the film, now called “Brooklyn Rules,” he looked at the old audition tapes, came across Facinelli’s and offered him a role. But the actor was now committed to a TV series and Scott Caan took the role in “Brooklyn Rules.”

Through that contact, however, Facinelli’s “Loosies” script made its way to Corrente. But at the time, the director was in the middle of “Brooklyn Rules” and only vaguely remembers reading it. Later, Facinelli says that while another director “was floating around” the script with some interest, he again sent it to Corrente “because I thought he was right for it.”

Corrente was more open to reading “Loosies” this time and recalls that “I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is really a great script,’ ” describing it as a “romantic dramedy.”

About this time, East Greenwich businessman Chad A. Verdi went into partnership with Corrente to produce films and, as Facinelli puts it, “rode in on a white horse with a bagful of money.” Facinelli entered into a two-picture deal with VerdiCorrente Productions, the second film being “Paz.” It’s the story of boxer Vinny Paz, a role originally slated to be played by Scott Caan ironically enough, and his triumphant return to the ring following a devastating car crash. Facinelli expects “Paz” to go before the cameras in late spring, after he finishes filming the next two back-to-back “Twilight” movie installments, “Breaking Dawn” parts one and two.

“Then I have to get into fighting shape for ‘Paz.’ ”

But right now he’s up to his neck as Bobby, the pickpocket whose life is about to change in “Loosies,” which Corrente says will be ready for theatrical release at about this time next year. When it’s mentioned that it must be fairly easy acting in a film that he wrote, Corrente laughs, saying, “You’d be surprised at the number of times he asks, ‘What’s my line?’ ”

Actually, the script seems to be a work in progress, with Corrente asking Facinelli to change things at the last minute. “Michael is very collaborative,” says Facinelli. “We’re both passionate Italians and when we come together we go at the script to make it better.”

Kristen Stewart As A 'Promiscuous Blonde Hippie' in 'On the Road'

2010-07-22T09:30:00.000-07:00

Twilight star Kristen Stewart is virtually unrecognizable as man-eating Marylou Moriarty in the big screen version of Jack Kerouac’s novel, On the Road.

You might just be crying in despair the next time you see Kristen Stewart – her newest character is NOTHING like your beloved Bella Swan!

The 20-year-old starlet will leave Twilight behind to play Marylou Moriarty, the slutty young wife of arty wanderer Dean Moriarty (Tron: Legacy’s Garrett Hedlund) in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s iconic Beat Generation novel, On the Road. But what can you expect to see from Kristen, who’s shooting the flick for two months beginning August 2 in Toronto before heading to New Orleans and Mexico? Read on, BFFs!

• She sleeps around! Marylou bumps uglies with both Dean and his best friend, Sal (British actor Sam Reilly), has car sex with Dean while Sal sleeps AND gets it on with at least nine sailors!

• She says ‘I do’ – TWICE! Marylou marries Dean, divorces him and then gets hitched to a…car salesman. Trading up baby, trading up.

• She’s got blond ambition! Buh-bye brunette beauty – Kristen has returned to her strawberry blond roots (believe it or not) to play Marylou!

• She’s FINALLY get to dress like, well, Kristen Stewart! “Beatnik” is just an old-fashioned word for “hipster’, which is just K-Stew’s style! Think striped shirts, oversized sweaters, cowl-collared tops, slim-fit pants or pencil skirts, skinny Capri pants and eastern religious-symbol jewelry. However, female “beatniks” are a bit more feminine than the tomboyish starlet – so she might not TOTALLY love her new look.

• K-Stew will struggle to be smoking hot! Literally. Beatniks roll their own cigarettes, and we all know how much Robert Pattinson’s lady love likes a good ciggie!

• She wants to hold your hand! We know how Kristen loves her indie bands, but if she really wants to get into her character, she’s going to need to embrace Beat bands like Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd and, of course, The Beatles.

But not to worry, HollywoodLifers. You’ll still see SOME of K-Stew in Marylou. The Beat Generation were known for their spontaneous creativity and non-conformity. Sounds like our girl!

Kristen's Interview with 15 a 20 Mag - Mexico "I Think I'll Go to College in the Future"

2010-07-21T15:19:00.000-07:00

We had the chance to talk to Kristen Stewart at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. When she walked into the room, she took off her headphones and shook our hands. She’s even cuter in person than onscreen. Her hair is still dark and short from playing Joan Jett, her eyes stand out and her skin is pale but perfect. She’s thin and she’s dressed very casual: white tank top, tight jeans. She pays complete attention to me as she smiles friendly and openly. We’ve spoke about it before, but in this third movie we want to know what she likes about Bella:

“I had never heard of the books before knowing about the project, and to be honest I didn’t have time to read the script the first time they sent it to me. I wasn’t impressed with the synopsis, I thought it was shallow and not vey believable, but I ended up reading the script and loved the story right away, I really wanted to play Bella.”

After accepting the role in the movie, Kristen read the books to prepare for the character: “I read all the books and I love them. But before filming Twilight I only read the first book. The movies are very faithful to the books, so we have a lot of material to work on, you want to know what your character is like, who she is, where she’s going, but not too much. As an actress you can’t forget, or not know something once you know it, I don’t know if that makes sense”.

She makes a pause and chooses carefully her words: “Many things happen to Bella in this saga. I wanted to stay in the moment in every stage of the story. Reading the books is such a vicarious experience. It’s easy to see why so many girls like these books. It’s because you’re Bella whn you’re reading them. I think people can relate to what she’s going through and they live these moments through her”.

Her favorite book is New Moon: “In the first book, she thought she had found true love. I liked seeing her feeling evolve and reconsider everything she thought she had with Edward, who was gone.”

In Eclipse Bella goes through many challenges, especially with the love traingle. We asked her how she feels with the way her charate developes in this saga. Again, she takes her time to answer. We have the feeling she worries a lot about her character and her role in the story.

“It was interesting to explore how Bella deals with different levels of love and how what she thought in the past could’ve changed or maybe not be real at all. Bella is very honest deep down, I really think she is, and this is the first time she lies, she lies to herself and everybody around her, by maybe considering she loves Jacob. And she has to face the fact that the love fo him is not as strong as the love for Edward. Edward and Jacob are mortal enemies, so their actions and choices take meaningful implications for them, for the Cullens, for the wolfpack, and for herself.”

Making these scenes was not hard for Kristen, despite the actors being very different from each other, as well as the characters: “It wasn’t that hard, actually. this is our third movie and the characters and their motivations are very well established, so I just let it take me where it wants me to go. I think it works because we know each other perfectly, we’ve grown together, and the experience with each other as actors, and playing this characters is something that you can see. There’s certain comfort when we see each other again for filming.” she assures with a laugh.

Besides being a romance, Eclipse has more action than it’s previous movies. The Cullens join forces with the wolfpack in a war against the newborn army started by Victoria.

What physical challenges did this bring to you?
She laughs again: “Unfortunately, I didn’t do any of the action sequences, and I didn’t do my own stunts. I was carried by Taylor during most of the scenes” we both agreed that being carried by a half-naked Taylor

Lautner wasn’t so bad, could it be?
So then we asked her about the challenges of working on a greenscreen when Taylor’s character appears to be in wolf shape. “It’s definitely a challenge as an actress, but I think it’s more recommendable to not joke around before filming scenes like these because it can break your focus. The worst thing a director can do is say: ‘I know it’s weird, but I need you to do it. You have to take it seriously and do it”.
She adds: “There’s a scene where Jacob is in wolf shape and I’m supposed to be talking and patting him, so Taylor stood there with his special suit so I could film the scene and make it more real. That made it easier for me”.

What can our readers learn from Bella and her story?
“They should experiment with different relationships and discover things about them along the way. At that age, your feelings are not necessarily being taken seriously, so they should see for themselves what matters to them, like Bella did, and make their own decisions. Bella risks everything, but I think it’s wonderful that she owns her actions and deals with the consequences”.

Time is up and Kristen has been very open through out our interview, but before we leave we ask her if she’s planning to do other things besides acting: “I love what I do. It seems like I work all th time, but I really enjoy it. I think I’ll go to college in the future. I love writing and I love reading words. We’ll see”.

2010-07-21T15:04:00.000-07:00

Today Cybergraphix Animation announced the addition of Boo Boo Stewart (Seth Clearwater, Twilight Saga) to the cast of the upcoming anime DVD feature Guardians of Luna. Boo Boo will play Jake Segerstrom alongside fellow Twilighter Kellan Lutz in the dark-action film, which will be completed in Fall 2011, and distributed by FUNimation Entertainment in North America.

Guardians of Luna centers around Carson Stone, who has come to Steelhenge looking for answers about his lineage. Driven by a mysterious letter from his father, what Carson uncovers is a city bearing an ancient curse. With each full moon, the city is terrorized by a pack of vicious werewolves. City leaders plan to eradicate the threat, and Carson must team up with three other werewolves in order to protect an ancient power source. In the process, they discover a dark secret about their ancestors that will force the “heroes” to make a crucial decision…on which could save humanity, or destroy it.

Kristen features in 'tu' magazine

2010-07-21T14:56:00.000-07:00

Our meeting was amazing! She has a striking personality. Despite being so petite, as soon as she walked into the Benedict Room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, the place lit up!

The girl doesn’t want to be a simple star caught up in the glamour and the paparazzi. She’s an actress that leaves a mark because of her work. Her attitude and casual way of dressing do not overshadow her, because as much as she doesn’t want to be special, she is! She’s naturally beautiful, discrete, but at the same time very impacient.

Dressed in white and black t-shirts (layered) with a black sweater and jeans, she greeted us without stopping one second from squirming in her chair and fixing her hair up into a pony tail, brushing it back with her hand, playing with it from one side to the other.

They say Eclipse is a darker movie, is it true?

Probably because of director David Slade, because his concept is more mature and scarier. A little bit like New Moon, but things get more complicated as far as the dynamic between the characters and their relationship with each other. And of course there’s the whole situation of vampires and werewolves trying to protect me.

Do you find the vampire world appealing?

We all find appealing the fact that vampires live forever and never age. Personally, there’s nothing in particular in vampires that appeals to me, but I love the way they are in Twilight.

Is it hard to choose between Edward and Jacob?

It’s tough for Bella to be in that position, because she ignores the fact that there’s many levels of understanding between loving and caring for someone, and suddenly having the priority to choose someone makes her realize her mistakes, which have nothing to do with being grateful or hopeful about something. Clearly we can relate to her when she’s confused and says: “I don’t know anything”; she finds herself completely lost and doesn’t know the difference between loving and caring for someone.

You’ve grown up as an actress, from the beginning to now, what has that process been like?

Everyday I grow up and learn something, and in every movie that I’ve been in has given me new experiences. I’ve grown up a lot with Bella, because I feel like I’m projecting myself more with this character than with any other; I feel connected with her in a very personal way. That is how a person grows as an actor, movie by movie, or character by character. Of course, Twilight has been a long project that has changed my life in multiple ways, and it’s the set where I’ve met a lot of my best friends and have had great working relationships.

Jacob and Bella have something more than just a friendship. Is it possible for a man and a woman to be just friends?

Well, it’s very common that the friendship a guy and a girl have turns into something else, but I do think that a relationship that doesn’t go beyond friendship is also possible. But that can’t be determined by me or anyone else, it’s a decision made by the two people in that relationship.

What matters the most to you?

Acting, playing different characters and wokring with people that have more experience than me so that I can keep learning.

How much has your life changed beause of the fame?

Success has made my life a little easier, I’ve managed to get amazing things. Now people ask me “what’s next? what project are you choosing?”. It’s a privilege having the opportunity to have those questions, even if it’s hard to answer them sometimes. I owe it to Twilight. Fame looks more spectacular from the outside than it does from the inside.

Fans complain that you don’t tweet, what is your relationship with social networks?

I can’t be online because, I have to be online! I’d love to please the fans because of the way they support us, but time is not enough. It wouldn’t be enough the ammount of time I spent online with them.

Music means a lot to you. Does it inspire you when you’re on the set filming a movie?

Definitely it’s one of the most sensitive elements I have, and it’s very satisfying to work and listen to my favorite songs. This new soundtrack is amazing.

If you weren’t an actress, what job would you like to have?

I can’t imagine doing something else. This is what I want, and it sounds weird, but I get bored when I’m not filming, I wonder “what do I do now?”. But I like having time to read, listen to music.

Kristen talks about making 'The Runaways'

2010-07-21T14:37:00.000-07:00

Kristen Stewart hadn't become Bella in the "Twilight" series when she signed on to star in "The Runaways." But between the time she agreed to play rocker Joan Jett in the bio-pic about the '70s all-girl band and its box office debut, Stewart had become a movie star.

The film, released last spring, is now available on DVD.

Stewart's sudden rise to fame had her thinking about the difference between what Jett, singer Cherie Currie and the other Runaways experienced in the '70s and what she's gone through in the past few years.

"I think they sought out their fame so aggressively that it was completely different thing," she said in an interview when the film was released. "It's not like it was thrust upon them at all. ... Musicians really are themselves all the time, in a public way. We're not. We're actors. We choose movies for a million different reasons; some of them are because they ‘say' things. But not the way music does, not so directly. I can say, ‘This is really cool, I'm really lucky.' They're like, ‘We own this.'"

Dakota Fanning, who has been famous since she broke into movies at age 7, said fame in the '70s was far different from what she and Stewart experience today.

"Back then you had to do something really important to become famous. That's what you really wanted," Fanning said. "Now I feel like you can do anything and become famous."

Fanning plays Currie and even appears on screen romping through "Cherry Bomb," the Runaways' signature song, wearing a white corset, as the teenage Currie did in real life.

"I was most excited about wearing that," Fanning said. "I really loved wearing the corset. It was exactly like the one she wore. I felt the most in character in the corset because if you do know who Cherie Currie is, I think you think of her performing ‘Cherry Bomb' in that corset. It was an exciting moment for me."

Fanning's performance in the corset is just one example of the detail brought to the film by Floria Sigismondi, a first-time writer/director who has made music videos for the likes of Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Tricky, Interpol, Christina Aguilera, Sigur Ros and The White Stripes.

Working from Currie's autobiography, "Neon Angel," and the stories of Jett and manager Kim Fowley, Sigismondi crafted a story that remains true to that of the Runaways, who were all teens when the band was formed.

Doing that story, however, meant that "The Runaways" had to include the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll that earned it an R rating. That shut out many of Stewart's young fans from theaters and contributed to the film's distribution debacle, which resulted in it not playing markets like Lincoln.

"I was kind of dancing this line between a lot of things," Sigismondi said. "But if this was a PG movie, I would have been completely unfaithful to the Runaways and to those girls. The thing that made it so instrumental in their lives was how young they were. They were thrown into this world with no parental guidance, plucked away from their families, on tour. Could you imagine? Even now? You're at that age when you want to try everything. Never mind growing up in the '70s."

Jett, who served as an executive producer of the film, and Currie each spent time on the set, befriending and working with the actresses. That, however, contributed a different kind of pressure for Fanning and Stewart.

"As much as Joan wanted to give me freedom and have me be natural, I couldn't improv stuff as easily as I could on other movies, I didn't like to fill in the blanks," Stewart said. "I didn't like to answer questions. I was always just asking them. ... You should always feel like your character is real. But it's totally different when they're there and you're friends with them. This really started everything for them or for Joan, and it was important to get it right."

Regardless of its box office performance, the young actresses said making the film forever affected them.

"I definitely relate a lot of the experiences I have now to Joan and Cherie, to the movie," Fanning said. "I feel like me, Kristen, Joan and Cherie all share something that is really unique. I think that has changed me, these relationships and the experience. I won't be the same after knowing these people and portraying their story."

For Stewart, that change centers on her friendship with Jett, who has become a confidant and mentor.

"It's really hard to describe," she said. "But the fact that I have someone in my life now like Joan, I could pick up the phone at anytime and say, ‘Dude, I'm freaking out' and she's there. How it's changed me, I don't know. I'm definitely more confident."

Kristen shows off her rocker side in "The Runaways"

2010-07-21T14:33:00.001-07:00

Kristen Stewart is best known for playing Bella Swan in "The Twilight Saga" films, but the young woman can handle a wide range of roles. The starlet's acting abilities are even more apparent in "The Runaways," which is now available on DVD .

Stewart stars as Joan Jett, the guitarist of the female rocker band The Runaways, which formed in 1975 when most of its members were still in their teens. Joining her is Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), who became the lead vocalist of the group.

The film follows the early days of the band and the musicians' rise to fame. It also chronicles the girls' use of drugs and their relationship with their manager, Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon).

While "The Runaways" is certainly an exciting film for Stewart's fans, those who appreciate the young actress' talents may enjoy some of her other recent projects as well. In fact, "Adventureland" and "The Cake Eaters" both received wide critical acclaim upon their release.

Rob & Kristen about food

2010-07-21T14:10:00.000-07:00

Twilight: Eclipse star Robert Pattinson can’t cook but is eating healthier than ever, thanks to a service that delivers fresh meals to his home every day.

“In Los Angeles I started using a delivery service which only delivers fresh and healthy food, Pattinson, 24, tells German newspaper Sachsische Zeitung“Even in the morning I have a bag with healthy food delivered to me. I’ve never in my life lived as healthy as I do now.”

‘I CAN ONLY MAKE TOAST’

Robert, who lives a vagabond lifestyle because of his hectic work schedule, says there's no place he can call home right now.
"My home consists of three suitcases which I live out of," he says. "Everything is in there.
Unlike fitness fanatic Taylor Lautner, who works out nonstop and eats every two hours to stay buff, Pattinson is less concerned about weight and more about convenience.
“Of course I miss homemade food, but I’m on my own or on the go most of the time," Rob admits. "And I can’t cook myself. I only just manage to make some toast. I don’t seem to have the genetic endowments for it. I’m incapable to tell what tastes good and what doesn’t.”

KRISTEN IS A FOODIE

Fortunately, Robert's girlfriend, Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, is a great cook whose hobby is baking pies and watching the Food Network.
"I like making pies," Stewart, 20, has said. "I have a bunch of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree sprouted, and I like making loquat pie. They're really hard to peel and everything, and it took me forever, but they make the best pies. They're amazing."

Hard to credit, perhaps, but Stephenie Meyer's blockbusting gothic romances have made R-Patz the most successful screen vampire of all time, outselling previous title holders Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the Anne Rice adaptation Interview With the Vampire. Hardened horror aficionados may balk, but hordes of Twi-hard fans have swooned to Edward Cullen's otherworldly charms, marvelling at the way his skin glitters in the sunlight, and dreaming of dying (and being reborn) in his sensitively pallid arms. Chastity never seemed so attractive.

The Summer House, part of Rushes Soho Shorts Festival

Adam Brody's girlfriend talks about Kristen

2010-07-20T13:39:00.000-07:00

Lorene Scafaria, Adam Brody’s girlfriend speaks about Kristen in a recent interview with writelikecody.com

She was asked the following:
There has been a lot of talk regarding Adam Brody and Kirstin(Kristen) Stewart… May you please clarify that for us?
“Ah, Red Band Trailer. I think Diablo’s question was the only real mention of K-Stew. Is that really her nickname? I’ve been around the guy enough to know he’s never said a bad word about his co-stars, especially the ladies… not even to make a certain gf feel better about making out with such a beautiful girl when she was 14. Plus we watch Adventureland like every other week. She’s rad. He’s a sweetheart. The end.”

Adam’s original ‘statement’ was apparently taken out of context,
LA Times posted excerpts of Diablo Cody’s interview with guest Adam Brody on her internet talk show.
One of the questions Diablo asked Adam was:
Do you enjoy being famous, or do you wish that you could just be an actor apart from all that, a la Kristen Stewart?
His response was:
“It’s only gotten worse, I’m sure, being a celebrity. At the same time, I don’t have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do,”“It’s like, quit … you don’t need to be an actor, so it’s like if it’s that much of a problem … there’s the door.”

Rob's favorite Eclipse scene

2010-07-20T13:31:00.000-07:00

Robert Pattinson's favorite scene in the new Twilight Eclipse movie is when Bella and Jacob kiss.

Rob, who plays the character Edward Cullen in the vampire movie series, has revealed he enjoyed the part of the film when Edward gets betrayed by his lover Bella as she kisses werewolf Jacob Black.

Kristen Stewart plays Bella and Taylor Lautner takes on the role of Jacob.

Pattinson feels he can relate to this scene when Stewart and Lautner get together, he told Turkey's OK Magazine 'There is a scene where Bella kisses Jacob.

'She comes back to ask forgiveness and Edward acts very understanding about this. I think this is a very nice moment.'

The 24–year-old added 'This is the only scene in the whole series that I can identify with Edward.

'I don't think there are many guys who can do this and for me this scene is a sign that he is a good guy".
