MTV Interview with Kristen and Taylor

MTV.com has a new interview with 'New Moon' stars Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob).

On Bella's relationship with Jacob, Kristen says,

"And only he can bring her out of that rut. Like, she literally is going to die; she's going to stop eating and be done. And the only thing that brings her out of it is this lightness [Jacob] brings. "

On the parts of New Moon that are tough to pull off, Kristen says,

""New Moon" is riddled with all of that. I think it's the one book in the series that I was intimidated by — in a good way. That's the best feeling to start a movie with. But probably, my favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], "It's him; it's always been him!" Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me."


"Yeah, and just like everything in our movie, it's such a heightened version of reality. It's like, people don't just break up [in the "Twilight" films] — they break up and it literally kills you. It's not like you just say, "Oh, I'm really depressed and crying." Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, "Am I doing enough? Do I look like I'm going to die?""

On his favorite scene to shoot, Taylor says,

"My favorite one was — well, we call it the breakup scene — but it's the scene right after she sees me shirtless and I've cut off my hair, all different for the first time. I have to tell her that we can't be friends anymore."

InStyle: How Designers Envision Bella's Wedding Gown

". . .ever since Eclipse started filming we've been dying for a sneak peek of Bella's wedding dress. In the meantime, we reached out to some of our favorite designers (Christian Siriano's sketch at left) to see how they envision her gown.

. . .Bella's dress is described as an early 1900s design (which complements her antique engagement ring) with friend and Maid of Honor Alice Cullen's modern tweaks to the train and veil. "You look like you just stepped out of an Austen movie," Bella's mother says to the bride-to-be when she spies her in the gown in the final book, Breaking Dawn. "It's gorgeous! So graceful, so elegant." [instyle.com]"

New Screen Shot: What?!

New screen shot from New Moon.... what is going on here?! I don't remember Jacob and Bella ever kissing in New Moon. Maybe the movie will have a few surprises even those who know the books forward and backward are unprepared for. . .

Channing Tatum: G.I. Joe and Sexy Vampire

E! Online reports on the idea of Channing Tatum as Riley:

"Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg isn't the only one who thinks hunky Channing Tatum would have been perfect to play Riley in Eclipse.

The G.I. Joe star's wife, Jenna Dewan, says director David Slade should have let hm sink his teeth into the role.

"I totally tried to get him to do it," Dewan told us earlier this week at the InStyle Summer Soirée at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. "I was like, 'Baby, do Twilight!' Oh, my god. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I've read all the books. So I was like, 'You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!'"

Unfortunately for Jenna, Xavier Samuel snagged the part of the corrupted vampire in the third installment of the Robert Pattinson bloodsucker movie franchise.

While Dewan says Tatum hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books, she's a huge fan...

"I just saw the trailer for [New Moon] today," she said. "It's one of those things where I liked the books so much, I felt like a 10-year-old reading them. I finished them in like three days." . . ." [marc malkin]

Breaking Dawn or The Nocturne?

MTV.com has a new story on the plagiarism that could be Breaking Dawn:

"If Jordan Scott could ask "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer one thing, it would be, "Why?"

"That would be my question ... the thing I would have to say to her," Scott told MTV News in her first interview since her lawyers filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Meyer on Wednesday over claims that 2008's "Breaking Dawn," the fourth book in the "Twilight" author's series, plagiarizes from Scott's 2006 novel, "The Nocturne."

"I don't think it's a coincidence. This isn't about vampires or vampire lore, it's about the events in the book," she said. "From the main characters getting married and the description of the ceremonies, the feelings the characters are going through, the scene on the beach, the pregnancy and the discussion about it being a boy and giving him a weird name and the husband having to cut the baby out, the wife coughing up blood ... these are not things you typically see in the vampire genre.". . ."

Breaking Dawn: an official report on the movie

E! Online makes it official:

"For all of you nervous Nellies who need everything to be 100 percent confirmed to believe it (that would be you, Robsten doubters), Summit has officially announced that Breaking Dawn is a go. . ."

but we wanna know... how true is the movie going to stay to the book? E! says,

"First up: Deep Twi tells us that execs over at the studio know their audience. And it's hardly just made up of 13-year-old girls. Don't expect an R rating or anything, but as far as we've heard, the film will retain the original book's "sexual heat."

Too dee-lish. Flying feathers, broken headboard, plus, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart equals box-office gold. . ."

we also wanna know... With Victoria being replaced in Eclipse... could any of that be taking place in Breaking Dawn? E! says,

""Everyone will be back," Deep Twi assures us.

We know Rob has already agreed, and since Kristen "can't wait to get pregnant" we're gonna go out on a limb and saying she's def not going anywhere. Ditto for Taylor Lautner.

And when we chatted with Ashley Greene last month, she not only confirmed the fourth movie would happen, but that it would happen fast, so she's obviously safe too. And sorry—but Nikki Reed def isn't going anywhere either. Why get rid of the hot be-yotch who keeps the tab controversy going? Not in this town, babes.

In fact, according to Deep Twi, dates for Breaking Dawn haven't been locked in yet because the studio wants to ensure the entire cast will be good to go. . . [ted casablanca's The Awful Truth]"

Eclipse starts filming today!

E! Online reports:

"Finally, the dawn of Eclipse is upon us.

Filming of the third installment of the Twilight Saga began today. It's only been, like, a million years (OK, three months) since New Moon wrapped!

. . .The David Slade-directed film, which centers around Bella struggling to choose between BF Edward or BFF Jacob as her friends and loved ones are under attack by the evil vampire overlords, the Volturi. You know you're getting (v)amped up just thinking about it!

Eclipse will make its debut in theaters on June 30, 2010, exactly 222 days after New Moon (and, for those keeping score at home, just 316 days from today)."

Kelly Clarkson serenades Rob

E! Online reports that "Celebrities really are just like us: They sing to life-size cardboard cutouts of Robert Pattinson, too.

This pop singer was performing at her concert last night when a fan handed her a huge cutout of R.Pattz.

[Kelly] proceeded to serenade the cardboard version of the world's hottest vamp. . ."

"Some aren't exactly rumors though, like Rob and Kristen being more than "good friends." Do you like them as a couple in real life, too?
Of course! I cast them together, so obviously I think they're awesome together. There's no question about that."

On the Cover: Life & Syle Mag: They're Back On!

lifeandstylemag.com reports:
". . .After spending two difficult months apart while they worked on different projects 3,000 miles away from each other, on Aug. 5 the co-stars reunited for five blissful days in LA -- and their romance was instantly back on. "From the way they act, it's clear that Rob and Kristen are together -- and in love," says an insider who witnessed the meet-up. "It seems that they can't stay away from each other."

Robert and Kristen's five-day PDA fest shocked more than just their die-hard fans. "I saw the pictures -- getting in cabs together, going for lunch," Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale in Twilight, said to Rob during their Alaska Airlines flight from LA to Vancouver on Aug. 10. "I thought you were going to keep it undercover?"

Confirming his relationship with Kristen, Rob whispered for Nikki to keep her voice down. But it appears there's just no hiding the love between him and Kristen, especially now that they're reunited for the 10-week Eclipse shoot. . ."

for more confirmation, check out E! Online's story @ The Awful Truth blog:

". . .Jennie said Rob is in fact dating one of his costars:

"I can't say [if it's Kristen Stewart or Nikki Reed], because that would be breaking my promise to [Peter], but he is dating one of them!"

Well, we know it's not Nikki Reed. She's apparently still swapping spit with Paris Latsis and has been "over" R.Pattz for quite some time. Plus, who knows what exactly went down with Robki anyway? Although if her bitter comments are telling at all, it must not have been that sweet.

So that's that!

Jennie just gave Robsten away, right?. . ." [ted casablanca]
