Twilight & Harry Potter Stars join forces for "In the Rough"






I always like when actors team up. I hope they do a good job! Time will tell.

"Harry Potter actor Tom Felton was reportedly in negotiations to appear in the film In The Rough, which tells the story of a women’s swim team coach who gets an opportunity to build a men’s golf team for her university.

According to a post on Twitter from The Twilight Saga’s Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie), the paperwork has been finished and both actors are appearing in the film. Chon tweeted on yesterday. Source HN"

Kristen Stewart: 'Family sought Twilight fame'



Funny when your family say's they are disappointed in you for doing something you love.

Kristin Stewart has revealed that her family were desperate for her to accept more mainstream roles.

The 20-year-old actress, who had shown a preference for independent films before winning the part of Bella Swan in Twilight, admitted that her loved ones were never comfortable seeing her talent restricted to film festivals and small audiences.

"My mother was so excited when I got the Twilight gig," she told Virgin Media. "My whole family were. Before Twilight they were like, 'Why are you doing all these Sundance movies that no-one will see?'"

Stewart recently commented on the close bond she shares with her family and declared her mother to be her biggest role model. Source: DS

Twilight Stars Not Attending The MTV VMAs



I was only going to watch because of them! Looks like no sneak peak at Breaking Dawn. :(

"Everyone is looking forward to seeing their favorite stars at this year's VMA awards, but for those Twilight fans, you will be disappointed.

Reports from E! Online have revealed that the three main stars of Twilight; Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner will not be in attendance this Sunday. Why aren't they attending? Well it seems that the stars are not promoting any new films, Pattinson has been off on vacation and Stewart and Lautner and are busy working on other projects.

It is possible that other Twilight stars could attend the event, but there is no confirmation on that.If you are in real need of a Twilight fix, Summit Entertainment is going to be celebrating Bella's birthday by re-releasing Eclipse in theaters. Source: Examiner"

The Killers - White Demon (New Moon Soundtrack)



This is my favorite song on all the soundtracks so far. The Killers - White Demon (New Moon Soundtrack) I got to see the Killers in concert last year. Sadly they didn't play this song. But still a great concert! Enjoy the song!

Taylor Lautner settles trailer dispute.. No push ups??



Looks like Taylor Lautner's lawyers have him in their pockets. Ignore the push ups challenge. Donate the money, give to a random charity because that will make you look good. But give us our lawyer dues... Which is a lot I'm sure. BRILLIANT!!

Hopefully Taylor learns from this rookie movie star mistake, calm down and don't take things so seriously dude! The guy has everything going for him, why turn into a jerk.

"A lawyer for Taylor Lautner says the Twilight actor has settled a lawsuit with an recreational vehicle dealership he claims didn't deliver a $US300,000 trailer in time for a movie shoot.

Lawyer Robert Barta said Friday that McMahon RV of Irvine, California, will pay $US40,000 to Lautner, who will donate it to Lollipop Theater Network, a children's charity.

The 18-year-old Lautner sued the dealership on Monday, saying it missed a June deadline to deliver the 2006 Affinity Country Coach for use on the set of the movie Abduction. Source: Sydney MH"

Harry Potter star Emma Watson slams Twilight saga for 'selling sex'



'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson slams 'Twilight' saga for 'selling sex'

"Harry Potter" star Emma Watson just put a stake through the heart of "Twilight" fans.

The 22-year-old actress, who reprises her role as Hermione in the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I," bashed the rival franchise during a conference call with journalists, OK! Magazine reported.

"This kiss between Hermione and Ron [Weasley played by co-star Rupert Grint] is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not 'Twilight,' you know," Watson told reporters. "We're not selling sex."

Watson had been addressing the long-gestating romance between Hermione and Ron, leading up to a kiss which is a fan favorite from the book, but was uncomfortable for her and Grint to film.

"In fact, it was horribly awkward; we couldn't stop laughing. Source: NY Daily"


I haven't even seen sex yet in the movies. But I do get where she is coming from.

Eclipse Dvd Release Date



Twilight and New Moon Dvds were released 120 days after being released in the cinemas. So we can presume that the Eclipse dvd release date will also be around 120 days later – approximately Saturday, 23rd or 30th October maybe?

RV dealer challenges 'Twilight' star to push-ups



Will Jacob man up and face Brent McMahon? You have to admit Taylor is over reacting to a late delivery. Why not settle it with push ups!

"LOS ANGELES - The owner of an RV dealership sued by Taylor Lautner over a customized vehicle challenged the " Twilight " star Monday to use his muscles instead of his lawyers to resolve the case.

Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon's RV in Irvine, Calif., offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach of contract lawsuit that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a $300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the actor's latest film.

McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn't accept the challenge.

The dealership said Lautner's camp had sought a $40,000 settlement to resolve the case, leading to the unorthodox proposal by McMahon. The 47-year-old businessman said if he won the contest, he would donate the settlement money to Children's Hospital of Orange County .

Lautner's attorney Robert Barta declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit. Source: Yahoo News"

'Breaking Dawn' Scripts are 80% Done



OMG! Still can't believe it's coming close to the end!

"For Melissa Rosenberg, her role in the Twilight franchise is almost complete. Although directors changed from one movie to the next, Melissa remained the films' screenwriter since the beginning. Now she has just one last hurdle left until she wraps up both Breaking Dawn manuscripts.

"They're coming along," she says. "It's a lot of work, I'm exhausted, but we're intent on making them the best scripts yet."

Melissa notes that she's 75 to 80 percent finished with this massive book-to-film project that she's been working on for months, but it's the epic battle scene at the end that hasn't been so smooth to write. She's already created a couple of drafts, but hasn't sat down with Breaking Dawn's director Bill Condon to determine whether they work or not.

"The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages," Melissa explains. "It's almost an entire three-act story in and of itself. You have to track hundreds of characters. It's an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill to choreograph on the stage."

We're sure Melissa will bring Stephenie Meyer's words to the big screen in a way that pleases Twi-hards. Another concern for this screenwriter while writing Breaking Dawn's adaptation was handling all the mythology in the final book.

"One of the biggest challenges, it's really true with all the novels, but probably more so with this one, is it's really thick with mythology," she states. "The characters expand with the arrival of Carlisle's friends. It's really about who do you pull forward, where do you focus?" Source: JSYK.com"

Peter Facinelli Named Film's 'Worst Vampire' by some crazy Rolling Stone critic..



How stupid are the people at Rolling Stone, I guess just old farts. Old people can't drive, can't run and can't understand twilight. LOL! I think Carlisle Cullen is played real well, infact made a post about him a few days ago about how awesome he is!

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in 'The Twilight Saga,' is tweeting about being named the silver screen's No. 1 "worst vampire" by a Rolling Stone film critic.

"YES! I finally came in Number 1 in something!" the good-natured actor tweeted Wednesday evening, referring to RS writer Peter Travers' list of "The Best and Worst Vampires on Film and TV."
"Facinelli is a solid actor, but playing Carlisle Cullen, the white-haired head of the fang-challenged Cullen vampire family, he looks about as terrifying as 'Project Runway' winner Austin Scarlett, whom Carlisle closely resembles," Travers opined in his list.
"Thank you Mr. Travers," Facinelli tweeted in response. "As Carlisle is a compassionate humanitarian, and anti-vampire in nature, being the worst vampire was quite the compliment. Although, you had me at "solid actor". :) I did find the comparison to Austin Scarlett utterly ridiculous though ... He has way better cheek bones."
Travers' No. 1 "best" big-screen vampire? Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula.

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1' is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 18, 2011, while 'Part 2' is expected to arrive Nov. 16, 2012. Reported by The Insider
