This Rob sighting took place at the Greek Theatre, where many industry-types tweeted about encountering him.

But perhaps the most exciting message came from Ira Miller, who wrote backstage, “Robert Pattinson to the left of me and Christina Aguilera to the right of me at @OfficialAdele. #celebritywatching.” What a star-studded crowd!

Other A-listers among the star-studded crowd included The Glee cast, Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson, America Ferrera and more!

Adele, 23, must be Robs favorite singer, as he’s seen her in concert before!

TWILIGHT’S KRISTEN STEWART ON GROWING UP, GETTING MARRIED, AND GIVING BIRTH—AS MILLIONS LOOK ON.

By Lynn Hirschberg
Photographs by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
Styled by Edward Enninful
September 2011

Lynn Hirschberg: Everyone knows you as Bella Swan, the heroine of the Twilight series, whose penultimate installment, Breaking Dawn Part 1, premieres on November 18. What audiences may not know is that you’ve been acting since you were a child. How did you get your start?

Kristen Stewart: It’s weird, because I would be the last person in my school to be in plays, but I was forced to sing a song in a school thing. I sang a dreidl song, which is funny for me. I’ve never celebrated Hanukkah—it wasn’t in my upbringing, but it was one of those deals where everybody has to pick a song or participate somehow in the chorus. It wasn’t the normal dreidl song; I can’t really remember the words, but it was a more serious dreidl song. The dreidl was huge, it was really honored. And that’s how I met my agent, who was in the audience. I was eight. I was nine when I did my first movie, The Safety of Objects.
Did you do any commercials, or did you go straight into films?
I did two commercials, one for Porsche, but I was definitely not the type of child one would cast in a commercial or any TV that you’d typically go out for as a young kid. I wasn’t the type of kid who would be in stuff that kids watch. I wasn’t cutesy.
In 1999 David Fincher cast you as Jodie Foster’s daughter in Panic Room. He likes to do dozens of takes for each scene. Was that difficult, as a child?
I didn’t realize that 80 takes wasn’t normal. But it’s funny: Some of my proudest moments from film sets are in Panic Room. My character had seizures. Just being able to say, I was 10 years old and I broke all the blood vessels in my eye on that take, is cool. It was fun.
You had a tomboy quality, which was unusual.
I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger. I was, like, No, I’m a girl. Actually, I’m still embarrassed to say that.
But it sets you apart from other young actresses. And it made you more interesting.
I don’t really know what to say. I just knew I wanted to work. And I did. I was working when I read the for Twilight. I read the before I read the book. I actually did the audition before reading the book, which was kind of crazy. Obviously, I tore all four books apart over the course of three years, but initially I had no idea that Twilight was such a big deal.
Did you have a particular interest in vampires? All young girls like vampires.
I f****** love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves.

HollywoodLife.com caught up with Boo Boo Stewart on ‘The Help’ red carpet last night and he chatted with us about Rob and Kristen’s dog Bear. He said Bear even sat in Rob’s makeup chair! How cute!

BooBoo Stewart was all smiles when he spoke with us at The Help red carpet in LA yesterday. He talked about how “perfect” the Breaking Dawn wedding scene was and how the Twilight movies keep getting better and better. BooBoo also shared a cute story about where Bear would sit when Robert Pattinson brought him on set!

“Bear is this like tiny little dog he’d bring on set and put it in the makeup chair,” laughed BooBoo. “Everyone loved going over [to] touch [him] and scratch [him]. [Rob] actually just got it when he was on set, and so it was brand new to him.”

So it’s safe to say everybody loved the new addition to the Cullen off-set family? “[We] loved Bear!” exclaimed BooBoo.

It’s not hard to see why — he’s such an adorable puppy!

På grund av de otäcka händelserna som nu sker i London där Kristens film Snow White and the Huntsman spelas in måste tyvärr inspelningen stoppas för att alla som är medverkade i filmen ska vara i säkerhet. Läs mer om detta i artikeln under:

Production on ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ has come to a standstill as the riots keep getting worse and worse in London!

“A friend of mine is stuck in London w/ #KristenStewart’s team. They JUST stopped #SnowWhite prep work until riots die down. #prayforlondon,” Entertainment Insider and Social Media Expert Gregory Littley tweeted Aug. 9.

Sources close to the set tell us exclusively Kristen and Chris Hemsworth are the cast members there, but Charlize Theron has not yet arrived. Thankfully, Kristen, Chris and the crew are with six “bobbies,” or police officers, for protection. At this time they have been instructed to stay in the rural area where they are currently working.

In a nod to the severity of the unrest, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced Aug. 8 that 16,000 officers would be on the streets of London, compared with the previous 6,000. And on its website, the U.S. Embassy in London is urging to U.S. citizens, “If you find yourself near any civil unrest, leave.”

Twilight always commands attention when it comes to Comic-Con, and this year is no different. Breaking Dawn, Part 1, the penultimate film in the series based on Stephenie Meyers books, comes out in November starring Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan, Robert Pattinson as her vampire beau Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner as werewolf Jacob Black, the third part of this love triangle. Here are 10 interesting factoids we gleaned from assorted press opps and the fan-packed panel (beware a few spoilers ahead):

1. Stewart took Bellas emotional journey from her wedding to her pre-transformation honeymoon to the birthing of her child very personally. "I cant draw a line between myself and her," she says. "For everything I do, its hard to take myself out of it. Ive been building myself up to these moments since I was 17. These are emotional and cathartic moments. Theyre very rooted in a reality I can see myself in. Anyone who reads the book can imagine it. (But) I couldnt let the book punch me in the face every morning. I had to let the moments happen. Its very true to the book but there are some surprises that suprised me, too." Adds Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon: "There is no bigger fan of Twilight than Kristen."

2. During the filming of the honeymoon in Brazil, Stewart spotted an extra who looked just like Lautner. After seeing a picture of the guy, "I even thought it was me," he says. According to Stewart, "he looked like the Eclipse poster."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may not be married in real life, but they were both overtaken by emotion while filming the intense wedding scene between Bella and Edward in Breaking Dawn!

Rob, 25, and Kristen, 21, both stepped up and gave the brilliant performances, a source close to production tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

“Rob and Kristen really were brilliant,” the eyewitness says. “This will probably be seen as the best work of their career so far. Once the set was called to be quiet, the scene was so intimate you could hear a pin drop."

The source also says R-Patz and K-Stew seemed to take inspiration from their personal love life to reach the level of emotion necessary to carry such a heavy scene.

“You could definitely tell while saying the vows they were both close to tears,” the source says. “It seemed so special to both of them, and you can’t just pull that chemistry from out of nowhere."

Los Angeles, CA, June 27, 2011 – Open Road Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to “The Host,” the big screen adaptation of Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novel. As previously announced, “The Host” will be directed by Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca”), who also wrote the screenplay, and will star Saoirse Ronan (“Hanna,” “The Lovely Bones,” “Atonement”). Open Road Films has set a March 29, 2013 release date (Easter weekend) for “The Host.”

“The Host” producers are Nick Wechsler, Chockstone Pictures’ Paula Mae Schwartz and Steve Schwartz, and Stephenie Meyer. Marc Butan, Jim Siebel, and Bill Johnson of Inferno Entertainment, which is handling international sales, are executive producers. Claudia Bluemhuber of Silver Reel, which is providing mezzanine financing, is also an executive producer. Roger Schwartz and Lizzy Bradford are co-producers.

Principal photography is scheduled to being in February 2012 in Louisiana and New Mexico, in anticipation of the wide release on March 29, 2013.

“The Host” is a riveting story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed.

When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanies body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didnt expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.

The Host, published in 2008, was Stephenie Meyer’s highly anticipated follow-up to the wildly popular and acclaimed Twilight series. The book was #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List for 26 weeks. The “Twilight” film franchise, based on Stephenie Meyer’s beloved and best-selling novels, has grossed over $1.4 billion in worldwide box office ticket sales to date.

Regarding Open Road Films, Stephenie Meyers stated, "Im thrilled to be adding another fantastic partner to an already amazing group. Everyone involved has so much passion for the project. It really is a dream team."

“We are privileged to partner with Stephenie Meyer and the rest of the filmmaking team for the release of ‘The Host,” added Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road Films. “Nick Wechsler is a terrific producer and a long time friend and we are honored to be working with Nick and Stephenie - and the wonderful minds of Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz - to bring this epic story of hope to the big screen.”

Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz commented, “We are excited about the passion that Tom Ortenberg and Open Road Films has shown for ‘The Host,’ and we think this is a great opportunity to be partnered with AMC and Regal at the beginning of their new joint venture.”

The deal was negotiated on behalf of Open Road Films by Ortenberg, General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Operations and Business Affairs, Elliott Kleinberg, and Senior Vice President of Acquistions Ben Cotner. Rena Ronson of UTA’s Independent Film Group and David Fox of Myman Greenspan Fineman Fox Light LLP, along with Philip Strina of Inferno, negotiated on behalf of the filmmakers.

"Mr. Guri…I made you a picture.", she says.

"No "Mr.", Mackenzie. Were co-workers", I tell her.

She thinks for a second. She has been raised to respect adults…how does she handle me?

"OK…Dr. Guri", she smiles.

I dig that little chick.

The name stuck and for the rest of filming, she called me "Dr. Guri" and made me these amazing pictures that related to our times filming BD. In particular, when she knew I was going to quit smoking, she was my biggest champion on set for that and drew me a motivational picture that is on my fridge right now. I havent quit yet but every time I walk into my kitchen, I get inspired all over again. If youre reading this, Mackenzie, I promise Ill get there.

She did have another name reserved for Noel Fisher and I - Salt n Pepa. We would often sing pop songs on set in full wardrobe with our Romanian dialects and this delighted Mackenzie…a lot. I was relieved. Up until now, I was thinking I was boring her to tears.

And the cursing. As anyone on set can tell you, the adults were very partial to a few swear words. Mackenzie was unimpressed. I jokingly told her she should incorporate a cursing jar on set and make people pay up every time they cursed in front of her. She not only did it, she cleaned up. Shes Bill Gates in a 10 year olds body.

I dig that little chick.

She was so professional and mature that she made every adult there want to be a better adult. Obviously, this is a huge credit to her amazing parents, who have done an extraordinary job raising such a gifted child. Most people dont understand what a child actor goes through over and above what a typical actor deals with on set. Their grades have to be kept up or they cant work. They have school time every day and often that time is broken up by filming, making it difficult to focus on either school or acting. They are often not respected as much as adult actors, despite having twice the workload. They are surrounded by crazy entertainment industry folks instead of friends and classmates. It aint easy…but she made it look easy. She was not only a straight A student but she had everyones respect.

Watching her with Kristen and Rob was nothing short of beautiful. She fit right in. She deserves all the success heading her way and I feel honored to have worked with her.

Listen up, ladies: To get Kellan Lutz‘s attention, just try smiling.

“A girl’s face gets my attention,” the Twilight heartthrob, 26, told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s grand opening of New York’s Dream Downtown hotel. “The face has so much, and I love the eyes and a big smile.”

In fact, a woman’s face can make the Calvin Klein underwear model weak in the knees, “especially if you can wake up next to them in bed and they still look the same after a long night of watching movies with strawberries and champagne and cuddling,” he says. “That’s sexy!”

“I also really like the clavicle area, which is really weird but so sexy,” he says.

And his own favorite body part? It’s all in his face, he says with a smile that displays what he’s talking about.

“I like my dimples the most,” says Lutz. “Not a lot of people have dimples so I like that I’m a little different. When I was a kid, I used to have three on one side and two on the other, but now I have one on each side."

Who designed Bellas wedding dress? Weve got the exclusive details!

As "Twilight" fans everywhere know, details about Bellas wedding dress remain as closely guarded as the designer of Kate Middletons dress was earlier this year. The first trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" had lots of shots of the real royal couples elegant invitation but nary a good peek at the gown.

Fans have had to content themselves with images from The Official Illustrated Guide and Stephenie Meyers detailed-yet-coy deion to a small group of fans.

"Its such an interesting mix. It has a vintage feel, but at the same time, theres an edge to it. Its really beautiful. And then on Kristen - oh, she looks amazing in clothes - and in that dress shes so lithe and unbelievable."
- Stephenie Meyer.

But thats about to change. We have it on good word that Caroline Herrera designed the dress of the year, which will be revealed in the next week or so. While we wait, were browsing this gallery of Herrera bridal gowns with much anticipation. Yep, definitely vintage with an edge.

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart Chest-Bump

We love it when the stars of our favorite films seem to be genuinely good friends both on and offscreen — especially when those real-life pals are two of our favorite Twilight actors, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. In between accepting and presenting awards, we watched Stewart and Lautner greet each other backstage with an actual chest bump, which they followed up with a friendly hug.

“Day to day she is a jeans and Converse girl,she loves plaid shirts, her Ray-Bans, and tank tops, her style is very effortless — she’s a laid-back girl.” 

“She’s more of the ‘vintage shopping on the weekend’ type than anything else,To be honest, I have wanted her in Balmain for years, we just haven’t been able to find the right dress for her. I think it’s a great brand for her and it compliments her personality. I want her to be comfortable, and she manages to pull off the look so well. God bless her for even putting the heels on for just a minute. We looked over all of her sneakers and decided that the Vans were the best ones to wear."

source From her edgy mini to slip-on Vans, K-Stew looked stunning! Find out how they decided on her get-up.
Kristen Stewart may be most comfortable in a pair of skinny jeans and Converse sneakers, but when she gets all dressed up she looks effortlessly chic, just like she did last night on Jun. 5 at the MTV Movie Awards. We got the chance to catch up with Kristens stylist, Tara Swennen. The talented woman behind the edgy Balmain on Kristen that left us breathless last night said the dress seemed to be made for the star!

“It was like Christmas taking that dress out of the box, it fit her without needing a stitch of alternations. Kristen is very willing to push the boundaries. Most people would shutter at the thought of a complete safety pin and red leather dress, but she really has an adventurous side and she loved it the moment she saw it. We were both very drawn to it and the moment we zipped it up and saw how amazing her body looked, it was perfect. It was like it was made for her,” Tara said.

Aside from the fit of the frock, Tara said the style of the Balmain strapless was also consistent with Kristens look.

“To be honest, I have wanted her in Balmain for years, we just haven’t been able to find the right dress for her. I think it’s a great brand for her and it compliments her personality.”

Kristen looked stunning on the red carpet, pairing the dress with Christian Louboutins, but she looked just as chic when she slipped into a pair of Vans before taking the stage. Her fans love how she stays true to her stellar sense of style — and so does her stylist!

“I want her to be comfortable, and she manages to pull off the look so well. God bless her for even putting the heels on for just a minute. We looked over all of her sneakers and decided that the Vans were the best ones to wear. They were easy to slip on and they didn’t have laces — going up and down the steps can be difficult and I want her to be comfortable and feel great.”

While Kristen is a red carpet pro, the star is as easy-going as one would expect.

“When she feels really good in something it shows — you can tell by the way she’s standing that she’s really happy.”

Kristen may have a penchant for minis on the red carpet, but everyday she prefers keeping it casual in jeans and a basic tee.

“Day to day she is a jeans and Converse girl,” Tara said. She loves plaid shirts, her Ray-Bans, and tank tops, her style is very effortless — she’s a laid-back girl.”

While K-Stew has mastered her personal sense of style, she’s likely to be hard at work on set than hitting the mall.

“She’s more of the ‘vintage shopping on the weekend’ type than anything else,” Tara said.

Whether she’s dressed down in jeans or all done up in a glam get-up, there’s no denying the fact that all eyes are on Kristen.

Från Just Jared:

Spider-Man’s Andrew Garfield shared a few laughs with Twilight couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who dressed down in a ripped t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Rob had co-presented Reese Witherspoon with the MTV Generation Award earlier in the evening. He shared that he wrote what he had to say down on cue cards on the car ride over to the ceremony but joked that it didn’t help “because [he] messed up all of the jokes anyway.” Kristen later walked over to share a table with Emma Stone and a few other girlfriends.

Från Celubuzz:

Twilight lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were spotted on their way to an MTV Movie Awards afterparty on Sunday night when they left the famed Chateau Marmont with a large group of friends. The pair had changed out of their fancy award show duds and instead optioned for jeans, t-shirts and sneakers for partying the night away.

So what did they do once they hit Jason Sudeikis‘ after-party? Here is the scoop:

The duo arrived together and never left each other’s sides.

“Kristen held Rob’s hand and led him through the small party, after they said hi to some friends they basically just hung out together,” says a source inside the shindig.

“Everyone at the party was in great spirits, there was good music, Rob and Kristen danced, laughed, and looked like they had a ball.”

Från E!Online:

"Rob and Kristen kept walking away from the crowds to have private moments with each other," a fellow partygoer dishes to us. "Kristen was showing Rob something on her cell phone and the two were laughing about it. He couldnt keep his hands off her, and she was smiling the entire time. They were definitely enjoying themselves at the party."

And after K.Stew changed out of her red leather Balmain mini dress she wore to the show, the starlet got comfy by throwing on her signature checkered sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a ripped white T-shirt that exposed her black bra. Rob rocked jeans and a baseball cap to attend the swanky after bash.

"Rob and Kristen seemed really comfortable with each other and with showing their affection in public," adds our eyewitness. "At one point, they sat down at a table with Emma Stone and her friends and kept playfully touching each other and stealing quick kisses throughout the convo. Both were in great spirits."

And while the couple refused to give us all the public on-stage smooch at the MTV Movie Awards weve all been waiting (and voting) for, it was during the commercial breaks when the cameras werent rolling and the lights were dimmed that Robsten got fully comfortable with each other.

"After they presented an award, Rob and Kristen stayed on-stage where they held hands and he kept drawing her closer to him," an MTV attendee tells us. "But as soon as the lights went up, they scurried off stage."

The good news is, you wont have to wait long. Jackson Rathbone drops the first hint: "When you tune in to the MTV Movie Awards, youre gonna see something ultra special at the red carpet." Which means, of course, that the big reveal will happen before the glitz and glam of the Awards themselves.

And another hint: The surprise is "something youve been waiting years for."

Tantalized? You should be! And here comes Elizabeth Reaser, with a few more details: "Is it possible there was a butterfly or something involved?" she mused. "I assume that there would be some lavender..."

Alright, alright, you got us: Its a butterfly in a field of lavender.

Just kidding! Its so much better than that. In fact, our mystery thingamabob is such a big, awesome deal that Elizabeth dropped a little too much information when she wrapped up her teaser, saying, "It is the most coveted [REDACTED!] in town."

Celebs pick MTV Movie Awards best kiss

Kristen Stewart got to lock lips with both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", and it seems like all the - cough, cough - hard work paid off: Both smooches are up for "Best Kiss" at Sundays 2011 MTV Movie Awards.

We went straight to Stewarts fellow celebs to ask: Which lip-lock should come out on top?

"Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham knows a thing or two about hot supernatural guys, and she has a very strong opinion about which kiss rules in "Eclipse": "I love Taylor Lautner," she gushed. "He could be making out with a hamburger, and I would be like, Best kiss ever!"

Olympian Johnny Weir also seems to be a member of Team Jacob. "Taylor Lautner in that movie was, you know, rocking the sex," he exclaimed, most likely referencing Lautners ever-present abs in the franchise.

"X-Men: First Class" actress Rose Byrne is leaning toward Team Edward when it comes to the kisses, even calling out Pattinsons fan-favorite nickname: "I think it will be RPattz."

Elle Fanning, whose sister Dakota stars in the "Twilight" flicks, concurred with Byrne, reasoning that Stewarts Bella is "marrying Edward, so you sort of have to pick Edward."

"X-Men" hottie Michael Fassbender might not know Edward from Jacob, but he did pick one of the actors over the other. "Im just going to go with Robert," he said.

Hilary Duff kept it right in the middle with her choice. "Youre really going for all the tough questions, arent you?" she teased. "In the first movie, it was better with Edward, and I think [then] it was better with Jacob," she said. "Was that politically correct?"

Bitch-Back! Is Kristen Stewarts Oscar on the way?

Dear Ted:

Have you seen the latest news about Kristen Stewart? Scott Feinberg predicted that "On the Road" may win an Oscar and Kristen may be getting an Oscar nomination for "Best supporting actress". How cool is that?

Dear Stewin the Oscar Pot:

It definitely has Oscar bait written all over it - internationally honored director, impressive young cast, based on a literary classic - but lets not get our award hopes up until the flick hits the big screen and we see how Ks acting chops are (though, I hear she is stellar).

Kristen Stewart, Oscar winner?

Kristen Stewart is one of the worlds hottest stars and her fan base on any movie is built in. But is she an Oscar-calibre actress? The buzz over her soon to be released movie "On the Road" is that she gives the best performance of her life and an Oscar should be in her future.

So far Kristen has been filling theater seats because of the heat between her and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson. Are they or arent they a couple? That kind of press doesnt help her to be considered a "serious" actress but her non-Bella Swan projects have been favorably reviewed by movie critics. Although "The Runaways" was a box office disappointment, Kristens performance got rave reviews.

"On the Road" is a classic novel which has a tortured history of making it to the screen, and lovers of the tale have always felt a movie has to be true to its spirit of non-conformity and resistance to "selling out" which is part of its appeal. So naysayers were a little disappointed when it was revealed that Kristen landed the role of Marylou, a character known for her maddening duality and sexual appetite. Could Kristen bring realism to the part?

According to E! Online (artikel ovan), Hollywood columnist Scott Feinberg is spreading the word that everyone whos seen the raw version agrees that Kristen nailed the part, and several of the actors in the movie are selflessly proclaiming that she deserves an Academy Award for her work in the film.

"On the Road" will be released in December. Just in time for Oscar season... Go Kristen!

The director of the first "Twilight" flick, Catherine Hardwicke, says she is not surprised that people are still as frenzied about the movies as they were back in 2008.

"Well, I think its great. I love it that people are so passionate about it and that people are really into it and following the characters," she told MTV News when we chatted with her about the June 14 DVD release of "Red Riding Hood," which she also directed. "I think its a great tribute, obviously, to what [author] Stephenie Meyer created. ... Rob and Kristen and everybodys been able to just keep it going and keep people loving it all this time, and, of course, all the directors, everybody. I think its awesome. Its great."
Stewart is nominated in the Best Kiss category for locking lips with both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. So which kiss does the director think she should win for? "Maybe it can be a tie? That would be perfect! I think [thats] the safest solution to this problem," she laughed.

The Gossip Girl and Twilight hottie worked together in New Orleans on the set of Love Wedding Marriage and she said there were a few Twihards hanging around set.  Jessica admitted to Celebuzz while at a SoBe event in NYC that she’s gotten lucky when it comes to working with beautiful men! “It was so interesting being on set with Chace [Crawford], and Penn [Badgley] and Ed [Westwick], and all the girls freak! Then being on set with Kellan and I mean, it’s insane,” she said, comparing her sexy costars.

However, the difference is, Kellan doesn’t know he’s hot.

“The cutest thing about Kellan is he’s so oblivious to it,” Jessica explains smiling. “He’s like walking and not understanding that these girls are following him and screaming and freaking out. He’s like ‘What’s going on?’

Inferno Entertainment has nearly pre-sold all international territories for Stephenie Meyers pic "The Host," one of the hot titles at this years Cannes market.

Pic, from "The Twilight Saga" scribe and toplining Saoirse Ronan, went to Entertainment Film Distributors in Blighty, Metropolitan Filmexport in France, DeAPlaneta in Spain and TeleMunchen for Germany and Switzerland.

Other deals include Italy (Eagle), Benelux (Independent Films), Australia (Hoyts), Greece and Cyprus (Italia Film), Iceland (Sam Film), Russia (West), Israel (United King), Portugal (Lusomundo), Scandinavia (Mis Label), Turkey (Italia Film), Latin America (Swen), Hong Kong (Tomson Intl.) and China (Fundamental Films).

Deals for Canada and South Korea are in final negotiations and while the pic has yet to nab a U.S. release, Inferno is in advanced discussions with several domestic distribs.

Pic, helmed by Andrew Niccol (who also adapted the screenplay of Meyers tome), is produced by Paula Mae Schwartz, Steve Schwartz, Nick Wechsler and Meyer while Infernos Marc Butan, Jim Seibel and Bill Johnson are exec-producers. Roger Schwartz serves as co-producer.

Producers are financing the pic with Inferno, which kicked off sales with a bang in Cannes last week. Meyer descended upon the Croisette to meet with buyers. The efforts proved worthwhile as pic had bidding wars in multiple territories all keen to get their hands on the next project from the woman behind the "Twilight" cash cow.

Pic is eyeing a January start date.

"The Host," published in 2008, revolves around the takeover of Earth by an alien race known as Souls.

For Inferno, this market experience was likely to echo its experience at AFM in November, when pre-sales on Brad Pitt and Richard Jenkins starrer "Cogans Trade," drew a flurry of deals with international distribs before the Weinstein Co. snapped it up for the U.S. in January.

Robert Pattinson och Kristen Stewart är menade att spela som föräldrar nu efter att spelat in Breaking Dawn, och det ser ut som scenerna i Twilight filmerna inspirerat dem i verkliga livet också, när Rob medger att paret adopterat en hund tillsammans.

Så sött!

I vad som har varit en av dem mest sötaste berättelserna vi någonsin hört, berättar Rob varför/hur han adopterade en hund för att han var ensam för ett tag sedan. Men nu berättar han att det inte bara var hans ide.

Kristen har nyligen gått ut med hunden - Bear - i New York, och Rob berättade för en tysk tidning att dem har adopterat honom (Bear) tillsammans.

"Tack Gode Gud att Kristen var med mig", sa han.

"Så vi adopterade bara en hund. En byracka. Vi kallade honom Bear."

Tja, det verkar Rob säkert håller på att bli en mycket mer avslappnad om hans förhållande med Kristen - de användas för att både hålla mycket snäva tystlåten om sina * sätter på franska accent * Rrrrrrrrromantik.

De har adopterat en hund tillsammans. Vad menas med det egentligen?

Kristen Stewart has revealed one of the best things about starring in the Twilight movies was getting to film in so many great countries, especially Canada.

"It was right before New Moon. No one really knew who I was," she recalled of the audition process. "We had done Twilight, and I think maybe it had just come out. ... Actually, I feel like it came out while [Skateland] was filming. And, of course, I got the news of how big it was. No one really knew who I was at that point, so I was just a girl who was in this movie that was buzzed about. I really had to work for it."

After a long gestation period, audiences will finally get to see Greene in her first non-"Twilight" role — one she said is very different from her vampire alter ego.

"I was really excited, because it was definitely a departure from Alice Cullen. I think it was two years ago, so Im excited its finally coming out," she told MTV News. "I basically read the , and I was really drawn to the character because Michelle — shes strong and shes vulnerable, and I feel like you dont get that a lot with female roles in films. Shes kind of the headstrong girl in the movie, and she knows what she wants and shes confident and, you know, a no-bull kind of girl."

"Skateland" stars Shiloh Fernandez as a small-town Texas skating-rink manager whos forced to grow up after a series of dramatic events unfold in his life.

Skådesplerarna från The Twilight Saga är många saker - unga, ytterst attraktiva, imponerande talanger - men är de stuntmän och kvinnor?

When NextMovie sat down to discuss her upcoming film, "Skateland," she confessed that she and the rest of gang -- yep, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner too -- were ambitious when it came to doing their own daring battle tricks for "Breaking Dawn." 

"Theyre working with special effects but actually our cast as a whole is pretty athletic," she tells NextMovie exclusively. "Everyone really wants to be able to do their own stunts. We all worked really hard to do as much as production would possibly allow us do insurance-wise.

"A lot of what you see will actually be us doing it."

She couldnt go into further detail about what all that entailed, but were guessing it means shell be doing quite a bit of running, jumping and pouncing on members of the Volturi army. In other words, Bring. It. On.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" doesnt hit theaters until Nov. 18, but you can see Ashley in "Skateland" this weekend.

The beginning of this idea was completely different at first, but after a moment of creativity, I realized I could have taken another path completely gave to that had been planned. Hope you like the concept, but do not rule out the possibility of the first version. Well after a long time, Im back.

Since Twilight came out in 2006, fell in love with the most beautiful characters who could exist.And is that Stephenie Meyer has given us men more perfect than any woman can imagine having in your life. Immortal beings able to love forever or brown werewolf able to do everything to get a kiss from the woman he loves.

Life gives us common people, they want, they love, they dream, they feel, perfect in its imperfections. They own the fantasies of many of us. They are the ones who play these characters Meyer has given us and have left their dreams.

Since the release of the first film in the year 2008, computers have been made about the characters, the first being the famous TEAM EDWARD, fans completely faithful to the vampire who all love and adore. At the premiere of New Moon fans appear divided on who to choose after such muscles put on the map to "Jacob" (Taylor Lautner) is why TEAM JACOB was created for those passionate fans of this being hot its own sun. And for those who love both SWISS TEAM was created, they can not choose between one or the other is that these beings have their advantages, the werewolf can provide you with heat in a blizzard, but only a vampire can love you for forever.

The point is this, Who is more terrific? Edward? Or Robert? "Jacob? Or Taylor?

Is that truth is difficult to answer because they interpret the men of our fantasies, but we have to distinguish from one another, to know where reality begins and fantasy ends.

Edward Cullen and Robert Pattinson, that is the main issue of things. Edward is 110 years old in a body of 17, too much for us but has been maintained over the years. Born in Chicago in 1901.Green eyes and golden human life as a vampire. You can read minds. It is the fastest in the clan.He plays the piano. She likes reading. I made up lullabies. Exemplary father and husband. Great son and brother. Overprotective. It has a Volvo C60. Speaks many languages. It seems to be the perfect guy for many of us.

While Robert, 24, born in Barnes, London in 1986. Youngest of three brothers, green eyes, brother and son example, a hair go crazy when you pet him. He plays the piano and guitar, composer, actor, producer, with an accent that melts at more than one. We swear that would be a great husband and father, since she wants to be friends with their children and know that you do not like short relationships. It is romantic, gives security to the girl he loves (you know who I mean), with an incredible sense of humor that makes us laugh.

Now,  Jacob Black or Taylor Lautner?, Is like the classic question of whether or not to be. Jacob Black, a friend will always be with you even after you go through the being who love Italy.Outgoing, likes to walk up and down, it does not care that Bella has "disinvited" from the prom.Never think you do, do what you think and feel no matter what else, for that was punched in the face. It is a leader, he creates his flock to defend Bella and the creature that will give birth (what leads to the first point). Young, handsome, muscular and tan.

Taylor Lautner, son and friend issue, unlike his character can say it is withdrawn, sports (something got muscles) that is disciplined, meets its objectives, sincere, open minded to, could be the perfect lover many, without him Jacob would not have that bed, a guy with good humor, has eyes that fall in love more than one and look seductive. Protective of his friends and girlfriend (remember the birthday of Kris which took care of Lily on the bike) amorous, freight and carrying wherever you go gracefully.

But not everyone is perfect and these guys and characters can have imperfections such as Edward is overprotective, and that is to defend his beloved, asks his sister to "hijack" that this does not meet Jacob. Edward was not always as we know, Midnight Sun opened up a clearer picture of Edwards past. Its frustrating to be considered full time as a soulless being.

Jacob is a little explosive, impulsive, which leads into a wolf may be a danger to every human around and although I consider a point in their qualities, this is a double edged sword. It is very honest, sometimes its good to keep things (though Edward has the facility to know what you think). You should think before they act, that gets him into many problems.

In matching the two is that neither plays fair when it comes to getting women who love them. It was time to agree on something, say a minimum.

And as these characters have their flaws also have our players, the constant attacks that the press has made Robert for their clothing have been invented that is not a neat person, when filming Eclipse Bryce Dallas Howard stated that a person completely different from what the press draw, in a nutshell but that we love a scruffy Robert should take better care of their image. He also has stated that it can control his mouth and is that sometimes things come out of it we do not know if they are true or lies, just hopefully not get into trouble for not controlling it. He says he does not know how, every time you board a car called his parents to say goodbye.

Taylor has been seen so girl do not know if it really is in love, that does not mean that bad or good, but should look to who have more in common (and not just the name), tastes for and above all things that have confidence. Much has been said that her father controls their relationships, perhaps this is another taboo that the media have invented around a movie star.

We could go on, but it is important to recognize, well personally but I am TEAM EDWARD honestly prefer to Robert because it is he who will last a long time, it is he who personifies the vampire we love. He put a face to my Edward and I can not imagine another impersonating.

Taylor needless to say, put on the map and radar to Jacob in New Moon with those muscles that even the envied and Robert went to work.

The line between reality and fantasy of these two characters is almost invisible. For some of us it is quite difficult to choose between one another because some details are so similar.

I just have to add that we must learn to distinguish where reality begins and fantasy ends because as I mentioned earlier sometimes it is impossible to distinguish one from another. In my particular case Im going for the first option.

Celebrate your inexperience – it’s your advantage

Lautner used to be a 178cm (5ft 10in), 63kg (10st) lightweight before his incredible physical transformation. But getting stacked isn’t just about your genes – it’s about application and determination, too. He didn’t achieve his new physique all by himself: he was trained by Jordan Yuam, a 20-year fitness industry veteran with an A-list clientele to match. “Inexperience works to your advantage,” says Yuam. “The less muscle you have to start with, the easier it is to gain mass quickly.”

Your strategy “If a beginner and an advanced weightlifter were to start training on the same programme, at the same time, the novice would gain almost twice as much muscle as the veteran lifter in the same time period,” says sports scientist and strength coach Brendan Chaplin. This is because your body tends to adapt and respond well to a completely new stimulus. And, the more your muscles are forced to adapt to a new routine, the more they’ll grow. “Eat right and follow a smart, strategic workout regimen,” says Yuam. “This will maximise your genetic potential so there’s no reason you can’t gain 15kg of muscle within a year.” It really is that easy.

Cut down on cardio

“I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight,” says Lautner. For some this might sound like an ideal outcome, but not if you have trouble building muscle mass. When combined with weight training, cardio can sap strength and limit muscle growth, especially if you do your cardio for longer than 20 minutes before or after lifting, according to researchers at Stephen F Austin State University in Texas. Spending hours pounding the treadmill will force your body to use muscle as fuel, undoing all the great work you’ve just done in the weights room. Take a look at the slimline physique of your average marathon runner if you’re not convinced.

Your strategy 

Be careful not to overdo it. “If you’re trying to gain lean muscle mass, focus on weightlifting with the proper technique,” Yuam says. If you want to maintain your cardio quota then stick to high-intensity interval training, rather than long slogs on the treadmill. A study in the Journal of Exercise Physiology found doing 10 weeks of sprints boosts your lower body-strength by up to 10%. After your weights session, alternate between sprinting for 6 seconds and walking for 10 seconds. Do this for 10-15 minutes and you’ll be complementing your lifting, not undoing your hard work.

Maintain the tension

Free weights are better than machines as they engage your core stability muscles while you train. However, some sections of a lift are easier than others – think of them as blind spots for your muscles. That’s why Lautner uses bands to maintain the tension during lifts. A study at Truman University, US, found that athletes who included elastic resistance bench press training in their regimes saw a greater increase in bench-press strength and power compared to those who just did free-weights.

Your strategy “The bands create more tension, making the lift harder and forcing your muscles to peak out at the top of the movement,” says Yuam. As a result, your body recruits more muscle fibres and works them harder, accelerating growth. Bands are available in most gyms but get your own from v-tapershaper.com (£12). Loop them around the weight and under the bench to create extra resistance.

Vary your weights

Heavier isn’t always better. To maximise gains, Lautner regularly changes reps and the amount of weight he lifts. “If you want a balanced body, you have to be varied,” says Yuam.

Your strategy Instead of always doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps, for example, occasionally reduce the weight and attempt 4 sets of 15 reps. A recent study in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research found men who regularly varied their rep counts increased their bench strength by 28% and their leg-press strength by 43%. The upshot of this is a larger month-on-month muscle gain, as opposed to hitting a plateau and just maintaining what you’ve already got.

Push your limits

In order to grow and gain size your body needs to become increasingly comfortable with heavy loads. “I had Taylor ‘taste’ much heavier weights,” says Yuam. He’d load a bar with about 40% more weight than Lautner could normally lift. It gave the young actor an idea of what he could expect in forthcoming sessions.

Your strategy If you can lift, say, 55kg 10 times, try to lift 80kg. Using a spotter, try performing only the lowering half of your lifts. Arizona State University researchers found that doing just the lowering portion of a bench press leads to greater muscle gains than performing the full range of motion repetition. “It’s critical that your spotter is strong enough to lift the weight back up by himself,” Yuam says. But beware, these sorts of moves are very taxing on your muscles. So, make sure you limit your ‘tasting’ of heavier weights to just 2 or 3 sets of 5 reps every other week to give yourself time to recover.

PETER FACINELLI NEVER TIRED OF MEETING TWILIGHT FANS.

"When I get in a room filled with Twilight fans theres so much energy in the room and it completely recharges my batteries," said Facinelli, by phone, earlier this week.

The actor, who portrays the father figure Carlisle Cullen in the "Twilight" movies was recently in Canada filming the last two installments of the popular series. He said filming was expected to be complete on the "Breaking Dawn" installment by the end of this week. Its expected to debut in the fall.

Facinelli will be prepared to engage in lots of  "Twilight" talk - but cant spill any beans about the new movies - as well as his role in "Nurse Jackie" and other movies and television series when he makes an appearance Sunday at Westfield Hawthorn Shopping Center in Vernon Hills, Ill.

The actor will sign autographs, take pictures and talk with fans from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Macys Court at Hawthorn. A V.I.P. Meet and Greet will take place from 11:30 a.m. to noon. His appearance is being done in conjunction with the charity Alexs Lemonade Stand Foundation and a portion of the proceeds from autographs and photos will benefit the group. Autographs cost $25 while photos are $40. (Cash only).

Facinelli said hes happy to support the foundation, which is dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer.

"Awhile back I was on the Internet and I read about Alexs Lemonade Stand Foundation and the story was just so inspiring to me. Alex was 8 years old and she had cancer. She used to hold these lemonade stands outside of her house to try to raise funds to find a cure for her disease. When she passed away her parents took this idea and they created the Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation in honor of their daughter and to keep her memory alive in hopes of one day maybe parents like themselves wouldnt have to go through the trauma that they went through," he said.

As the father of three daughters with his actress wife Jennie Garth, Alexs story really touched Facinellis heart.

"Im happy to spend my time to raise awareness for a good cause," Facinelli said.

About his involvement with the "Twilight" movies, Facinelli said he almost had nothing to do with the Cullen clan.

"When I first got the phone call asking Hey, do you want to be in a vampire movie?, I said No! I was thinking it would be some kind of B-horror movie  with blood and guts and bats and caves. Then I read the book and it was really a beautiful love story set in this timeless classic backof a vampire tale," he said.

Facinelli believes "Twilight" really caught on with people because "it has a lot going for it."

"Its a classic love story. ... And I think people really latch on to the family element. The Cullen family is a family that really sticks up for each other and has a lot of love for each other."

Fans have waited years to see Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) tie the knot, and the wedding scene, scheduled for the end of production on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, proved to be equally climactic for those involved. “It was one of the coolest things that I’ve done,” says Stewart. “There was a certain point when I walked on set, and I saw everyone from the entire cast sitting there in the pews, about to do their bit. And it was just so perfect for me in that moment. It was so emotional in such a real way. I literally felt like thanking them for coming.”

But filming wasn’t always quite so idyllic. As the stars and director tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (in theaters November 18 and November 2012) involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far. If audiences haven’t matured with the Twilight books, they’re about to grow up fast. “We shot everything — whether it’s the lovemaking or the childbirth — as potent and powerful as it can be,” says director Bill Condon, who knew he was working within the constraints of a PG-13 rating. “It will be interesting to see whether there will be people who think it too disturbing for this universe.” For her part, Stewart wishes the movie could have been even truer to the graphic nature of the book — not so much the honeymoon sequence (“It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good”), but the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee. “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” she says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.”

Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob, says that even being a member of the wolf pack didn’t have its privileges. “Everybody is always complaining to me that I don’t have to wear the contacts, I don’t have to wear the white makeup or wear wigs and all that stuff. And I’m like, ‘I’m the one in the freezing rain and cold not wearing a shirt! I paid my dues in New Moon and Eclipse.’” And as for his plot arc in Part 2, which will involve falling for — or imprinting on — Renesmee? “There were many times I walked up to Stephenie [Meyer] and asked her, ‘What exactly is imprinting?’” says Lautner. “It’s still a very confusing thing for me, so don’t ask.”

1. Talent embodied
After his turn in Water for Elephants, this writer cannot wait to see what Pattinson does next after Breaking Dawn parts one and two hit the screen. The talent that showed great promise prior to Water for Elephants is now an absolute sure thing heading into what should be a very bright movie future for Robert Pattinson.

2. He’s hot
Pattinson is a heartthrob. Period. Movie audiences treasure an actor who is not only easy on the eyes, but can deliver in the acting department. As George Clooney and Brad Pitt before him have achieved, Pattinson scores in being equally hot in looks while turning in a stellar performance.

3. A novel idea
Bringing a bestselling book to the big screen and satisfying fans is one difficult task. With Pattinson’s turn as Jacob, fans of Sara Gruen’s book will be more than pleased with the onscreen incarnation of the character they have only imagined in their minds until now. Just as Twilight fans now have their mental picture for Edward, Water for Elephants fans can now put a face to the literary name.

4. Carry a film
There is no question Pattinson’s character is the central individual in Water for Elephants. Without an astute performance by its lead, the film would not work as well as it does. By hitting it out of the park, Pattinson not only carries the film on his shoulders, he greatly contributes to it being a triumph of modern moviemaking.

5. Traveling soul
Robert Pattinson perfectly embodies the soul of a Depression-era 20-something who has lost everything and must hit the road to find work and a future. It’s hard to explain how effective Pattinson is in capturing the elusive nature of how people of that era had to live. You simply have to see it.

6. Toe-to-Toe with Oscar winners
Both Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon are in the elite club of Academy Award winners. As the popcorn-Twilight guy, many wondered how he would fare opposite acting greatness. Walking out of Water for Elephants, it is the acting of Robert Pattinson that everyone will be talking about!

7. Twilight star going large
A pop culture sensation proves his mettle with his turn in Water for Elephants. Twilight, New Moonand Eclipse may have made him a star, but Water for Elephants is what will solidify his place as one of his generation’s great actors.

8. Passion for animals
Pattinson adores animals and his passion for our animal friends oozes out of his performance inWater for Elephants. His sensitivity towards Rosie the elephant is merely one aspect of a film that is touching beyond all others this year.

9. Playing Jacob
After years of Jacob versus Edward discussions, we score one for Pattinson for taking a role where the character’s name is Jacob. After seeing Water for Elephants, you will never see the name of Jacob the same way again in the upcoming Breaking Dawn.

10. Chemistry
Although Robert Pattinson has such great chemistry with Kristen Stewart in the Twilight series; his cinematic chemistry with Witherspoon in Water for Elephants is electric.

Some may have wondered about the Twilight guy starring opposite a living legend in Reese Witherspoon, but after witnessing the marvel of Water for Elephants, there is no actor on earth more perfectly cast to star as the love interest of Witherspoon’s character Marlena.

Snart släpps ju Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, och här är några sneak peek som kommit ut;

Bellas bröllops klänning:

James i Twilight. Där finns även en sida med fakta om honom:

Robert Pattinson berättar för Totalt Film att scenen där hans karaktär urför ett kejsarsnitt med sina tänder på sin fru, Bella (Kristen Stewart), har filmats för den avslutande delen av Twilight sagan; Breaking Dawn.
"Ja, jag har gjort det. Jag tuggade på det, spottade ut det!"

Trots att han inte har tillåtelse att berätta speciellt mycket säger han att Breaking Dawn kommer bli väldigt annorlunda från de andra filmerna - mer som en skräckfilm.
"Bara en del av materialet gör den oundvikligen mer annorlunda. Den är helt galen, boken."

On Monday, Peter Facinelli ("Carlisle Cullen" in the Twilight Saga) returned to Vancouver, British Columbia to resume his work on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and alerted his fans on Twitter that there is "One more month to go." The original schedule, posited by Production Weekly last year, had the dates for filming listed as: November 8th, 2010 to April 22nd, 2011.

Of course, there have been a couple of weather-related delays along the way, and, besides, the very first scene to come out of the touch-down in Brazil ("the boat scene") took place a day earlier than their listed schedule, so the exact date which the Twilight Saga will wrap for good is not an absolute lockdown for April 22nd, though likely.

Evidently, the weather has continued to be no friend to the cast up there because Facinelli also said, "Rainy, muddy, day here on the set of Breaking Dawn. Shooting outside. Vampires are fine in the cold... but the rain sucks. Pun intended."

Andrea Gabriel ("Kebi" - Egyptian Coven) elaborated to say, "Hey guys! Pouring rain here in Squampton. But so great to see everyone."

Squampton is another name for Squamish, which is a town outside of Vancouver - one which boasts extraordinary scenery (see here for example), by the way.

It is one of at least half a dozen cities or towns which have been used for production of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (others: Rio de Janeiro, Lapa, and Paraty, Brazil; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Vancouver, British Columbia).

Over the course of the past few weeks, several actors have said goodbye to filming for the Twilight Saga, including Daniel Cudmore and Alex Meraz, and others (Michael Sheen, Jamie Campbell Bower, e.g.) have also completed their work on the final two installments to the Saga.

Pretty soon - that is, in about a month - theyll all be done, barring any "pick-ups" or "re-shoots" being necessary, of course.

Just nu ser det ut som att Rob & Kristen ska flyga till Orpheum Theatre nästa vecka för att filma några scener av Breaking Dawn:

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be filming scenes from Breaking Dawn in a historic Vancouver location, the Orpheum Theatre. Breaking Dawn crews are scheduled to begin prepping for the scenes tomorrow, and Pattinson and Stewart are expected to arrive around 5:30am Monday morning

A source commented saying, "They will be filming in the lobby and using the balcony areas. The ceilings are very ornate in the lobby and many movies have been filmed in there. They will also be using the hallways because of the beautiful architecture."

After Pattinson and Stewart wrap the scenes at the theatre, theyre expected to film additional scenes on Monday on Vancouvers Beatty Street. So watch out Vancouver, Breaking Dawn is all around you!

Due to the tsunami advisory, filming of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn has been delayed. All cast and crew were evacuated to the movie productions base camp. Everyone is safe and sound.

In the first part of a multi-part series on the psychological implications of Harry Potter and Twilight, DEBORAH CHAN explores the consequences of the two series on the female brain.

The Twilight books function as an improvement on Beauty and the Beast for modern times. The institution of marriage is no longer as relevant as it once was, so it would be wiser for a young girl to go for a beast who has already tamed himself (as Edward has) before she sleeps with him. For one, on the off-chance that she does get pregnant, he’ll be more likely to stick around and help her raise the baby,

Bella represents a much more traditional woman, one who dedicates her life to her husband and child.

One thing that I hope modern feminists will concede is that both Bella and Hermione are better role models than, say, Miley Cyrus in the song, “Can’t Be Tamed.” That song is essentially the alpha-straight-male’s nightmare, isn’t it? Jane Goodall discovered that without the taming of unifying social structures, primates will rip each other to shreds. Human beings can be downright beastly. We need to be tamed to function in society. That’s why it’s only socially acceptable for us to bite each other during the “terrible twos.” Clinical psychologists (or, at least, psychoanalysts) say that an adult who throws a temper tantrum is regressing. And, look at what happened to Chris Brown after he so viciously regressed — complete social ostracism.

Australian filmmaker and actress Lian Lunson is heading in a completely different direction for her debut feature-length dramatic effort. The helmer behind the celebrated Leonard Cohen documentary, “I’m Your Man,” which featured a memorable and intimate Bono, Edge and Cohen performance in New York’s tiny Slipper Room venue, is venturing into the narrative feature arena for her next picture. And
she’s amassed quite the cast.

Titled, “The Boom Boom Room,” the mystical drama and modern-day fable will feature Christopher Walken, Shirely MacLaine, “Twilight” starlette Ashley Greene and Adam Beach (”Flags Of Our Fathers,” “Windtalkers”) with Bono and director Wim Wenders acting as executive producers. Set in the desert of New Mexico, the fairytale film, which will shoot there on location this summer, focuses
on a young woman named Adeline Winter (Greene) who embarks on a voyage
to dig up old family secrets and comes upon a pair of old vaudeville
stars (Walken and MacLaine) who transform her life. Here’s the official
synopsis given to us by Lunson herself.

In the California desert, in a mystical and magical town, live the once great Vaudeville stars, Dixie Meade and Jimmy Riggs. They have long awaited the return of the baby girl they were
forced to give up to find her way back to them.

One day, Adeline Winter, a mysterious and beautiful girl, appears. She is not the girl for whom they were waiting, but their lives and hers will be inexorably intertwined and changed forever.

Gold dust, Dancing Girls, and Long-haired Indians will all collide with this family in search of redemption, salvation and each other. A fairytale world provides the landscape and THE BOOM BOOM ROOM with a
heartbeat. A story of miracles, love and the belief in all that is
good gives hope to all who journey into this magical world of
wonderment.

Lunson also wrote the screenplay and said the film will take its tonal inspiration from movies like “Moulin Rouge,” Wenders’ “Wings Of Desire” and “Priscilla Queen Of The Desert:

“The picture will have a timeless quality [and] it will not reflect any particular period,” Lunson said in her vision statement. “The audience will be taken into a dreamy landscape where the story and the
emotional lives of the characters are the focus. It is a languid time,
rich in beauty…the era as mysterious as the story itself.”

No release date has been set just yet but we encourage Ms. Lunson to watch the similarly-themed “Passion Play” (also set in a magical desert) as a back-to-front playbook of what not to do when making her film. [ScreenDaily]

Rock ‘n Roll’s reigning queen Stevie Nicks will be releasing her highly anticipated new CD “In Your Dreams” on May 3rd, it was announced today by Reprise Records. This will be Nicks’ first CD of new material since the release of her Grammy nominated “Trouble in Shangri-La” ten years ago. “In Your Dreams” was written and recorded at Nicks’ Los Angeles home and is co-produced by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. Nicks and Stewart co-wrote seven of the album’s thirteen songs.

“I had written a song in Brisbane, Australia when I was on tour with Fleetwood Mac in 2009 called ‘Moonlight — A Vampire’s Dream’ which was inspired by the ‘New Moon’ film. When I finished writing that song, which came together really quickly, I knew the time was right to start recording. We had a core group of five people who were at the heart of the creation of ‘In Your Dreams.’ Dave and myself, my longtime friend and musical director, Waddy Wachtel, and my girls, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks. It was a perfect blend,” commented Nicks.
