Pattinson: Twilight abstinence sexy
Robert Pattinson believes the Twilight movies are a metaphor for sexual abstinence.
The 23-year-old star plays vampire Edward Cullen in the saga, who is unable to have a sexual relationship with a human because he fears that if he goes further than a kiss, his emotions and the power of his body may injure his beloved. Link...

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' may be broken in two movies

Moviegoers may get an extra chance to visit the world of "Twilight."
With the third installment, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," nearly done, Summit Entertainment is prepping to adapt the series' fourth and final book. "Breaking Dawn," though, is weighty enough that the studio is contemplating splitting it into two films, according to Variety.
Thing is, Summit only contracted the lead actors, director Chris Weitz and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg for four films, and the agreement with series author Stephenie Meyer is also only for four films.
Are we worried? No. The box-office success of "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" should help all involved see why an extra payday is worth the time.
More worrisome is "Breaking Dawn's" subject matter. Spoilers follow!

Preston Johnson, 22, had just gotten out of class in Eugene when he got the call from a casting agency: “Do you still have long hair?” they asked. A couple weeks, hair length confirmation and multiple auditions later, the University of Oregon student was kickin’ it on the set of a small film called Twilight with actors Kristen Stewart (Bella), Robert Pattinson (Edward) and the rest of the vampy gang—paid around $150 a day to pile on pale make-up and fight off crazed fans and TwilightMoms as Pattison’s photo/stunt double on the film’s Oregon set. As New Moon, the second film installment of the mega-popular book series, hits theaters and decimates box office records, Johnson looked back on his three months of filming as the other Edward.

What Men Can Learn From "New Moon"
I spent my Black Friday surrounded by women of all ages, 16 to 60, watching Kristen Stewart play Bella Swan as she panted her way through a love triangle including an amazingly buff and bare-chested wolf-boy, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and the amazingly pale and pouty vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). I wasn't there for the story but more as a kind of sociological learning experience. What would cause grown women to throw their panties at 18-year-old boys (as Launer recently reported on Letterman)? Is this some kind of revenge for years of Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions? More importantly, what does the huge response for New Moon say about what women want, and apparently aren't getting, from their mere mortal boyfriends and husbands? Link...

ROBERT PATTINSON'S LUXURY LIVING

Robert Pattinson says the only advantage of being famous is the luxury hotels he stays in.
The 23-year-old 'Twilight Saga: Ne Moon' actor - who plays Edward Cullen in the vampire franchise - said he has struggled with the phenomenal success of the films but admits there are some advantages.
He said: "You're staying in fancy hotels with incredibly nice bathrooms. This is the best thing I can say about it.

Late-night host George Lopez chats with Taylor Lautner to discuss how he achieved his new body for the film. George asks: "I also know you gained 30 pounds of muscle. What kind of diet?"
Taylor: "The eating part was definitely the most challenging."
George: "You don't eat like hamburgers? It's done the right way, right?"
Taylor: "Yeah, definitely. I had to stay away from the ice cream and all that kind of fun stuff. But a lot of meats and a lot of carbs. Getting into the gym was the easy part for me because I was motivated and I knew what the character required. But the eating was challenging." Link...

Vatican Not a Fan of Vampires and Werewolves, Calls Twilight a “Moral Vacuum”
Stuff Christians Like is one of my favorite websites and I genuinely appreciate the humorous look it takes at church culture.
Because if you can’t laugh at yourself sometimes, then I think you’re in trouble.
Today’s post on the site had to do with the Twilight Saga phenomenon and the temptation that Christians might be facing to co-opt the current vampire craze:

"Across the country pastors are tempted to do Twilight sermon series. Around the world, Christian authors are thinking about the parallels of the everlasting life of a vampire and the true everlasting life of a Christian. Christian film producers are feeling the siren’s call of Final Cut screenplay software. “Just write a Christian version of Twilight, just write a Christian version of Twilight.”

That made me laugh. Link...

Reset Your Twilight Countdown Clocks for Eclipse

All right, so we all saw New Moon at least twice this past weekend, right? (If only we had all seen it three times...) And it was pretty awesome or fun or terrible or whatever depending on your fandom level!
But it's really time we move on and reset our Twilight countdown for Eclipse. Today makes it about seven months and a week until our favorite gang of moody teenagers bring their tortured love triangle back to the big screen.

Robert Pattinson is hot property after Twilight sequel New Moon breaks box office records

A year ago, Robert Pattinson was virtually unheard of aside from playing a dashing extra in the Harry Potter series of films.
Yet as of today, the 23-year-old who hails from the middle-class streets of Barnes in south west London, is about the most bankable star on the planet.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon, a film sequel in which Pattinson stars as the protagonist vampire, broke the all-time record for opening day takings in America at the weekend.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson recalls horror of making fan strip

The 23-year-old, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the blockbuster films, said he had never felt so horrible as he watched aghast as the female admirer began removing her clothes.
Fortunately a security guard saved her blushes, removing her before the striptease got out of hand.
In an interview for US chat show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the British actor said he was bored by reciting the same niceties to autograph hunters when a fan asked him how she could get his attention.
He said: "You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything and I kind of got bored of saying 'Hey, how are you doing?' Link...

The vampires of Vancouver
Capilano River Regional Park is not the kind of place where you want to get stranded alone.
The trees are so dense and the clouds hang so low that any time of day can feel like the sun is about to set. And when the wind blows, it delivers a chill like a frosty breath down the back of your neck.
When it rains, which is often, the rubber soles of your sneakers sink and slide in the mud and swollen raindrops bounce down the evergreens and land on your forehead with a splash.
I was standing in the spot where Edward breaks up with Bella at the beginning of the just-released The Twilight Saga: New Moon, sending her into a deep depression. Soggy, cold and exhausted, I couldn't help but relate -- if my vampire boyfriend ditched me in these woods, I'd be pretty depressed, too. Link...






Movie Review from EW.com
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
An ultrapurist wouldn't let on in this review that Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), the Quileute Indian tribesman and childhood pal of vampire-smitten high school senior Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), reveals himself as a werewolf in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. (He also reveals himself as one tasty chunk of vealcake.) But I'm trusting that between the millions of Twilighters who have already read all four books in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster series, and the additional billions who have seen the movie trailer, the beast is already out of the bag. The excellent news for fans is that this sequel to 2008's Twilight is a durable, recognizably faithful movie adaptation of New Moon. That, of course, is the second installment, in which Bella, a dazed, confused, moody, and otherwise identifiable teen-y girl, and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a smoldering, inscrutable, broody, and otherwise identifiable teen-throb vampire, swear true and chaste love while trying to keep their hands off each other.

Stephenie Meyer's enthusiasm dims for another Twilight book
With sales of more than 70m copies she is the queen of teen vampire romance, but Twilight author Stephenie Meyer has announced that she's "a little burned out on vampires".
Asked on the Oprah Winfrey show if she'd consider writing another book in the Twilight quartet, Meyer said that she had no immediate plans to return to the story of human teenager Bella and her vampire love interest Edward. "I think I need a little break," she said. "I've got to cleanse the palate ... I'm a little burned out on vampires right now."
Her next book, she said, was likely to be a follow-up to her one adult novel The Host – about the invasion of earth by a species which takes over the minds of humans while leaving their bodies intact – which she sees as a trilogy, but it could also be something "completely different". "I have another book that's kind of been itching in the back of my brain, that's completely unrelated, totally fantasy. So fantasy it'll have a map in the front – that's always the judge, right?" she said. Link...

“Since I’m only doing one interview, better make it big. Really big… Of course, most of the questions for Oprah will be designed for a broader audience than just die-hard ‘Twilight‘ fans, and I imagine people who read this site and other fansites will already know most of the answers.” Link...

What A Difference A Day Makes: Rob And Kristen Actually Smile For Fans!

Undercover lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart dropped the brooding bit to smile and wave for fans in Paris on the balcony of the Hotel Crillon today along with Taylor Lautner and New Moon director Chris Weitz.
Sure, they're still careful to put Taylor Lautner in between them for the photo call (like that really makes a difference) but it looks like being in Paris has lifted their spirits.
Even Kristen ditched her punk-rock duds for a beautiful strapless gown for the occasion. And thank gawd that horrible femmullet is finally starting to grow out!
Let's just hope Robsten take advantage of the city of love while they're there -- but it looks as if they already are! Link...

Twilight and New Moon News for Nov 9

'New Moon': Team Edward or Team Jacob debate continues

Sometimes it’s hard to be a celebrity. November 2009 is one of them. Chances are, stars will, at some point this month, be asked if they’re on Team Edward or Team Jacob. I myself asked The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder to enter the debate recently during a Pop Culture Personality Test interview (so totally legit line of questioning!), and having never read the books or seen the first film, he was unable to choose a side. I can appreciate that someone wouldn’t want to judge what he or she has not seen, however fluffy that something is, but if I were a publicist, I’d be telling my clients to have an answer at the ready regardless. You’ll get ink even if you’re undecided: “Edward Cullen — I would write a love song to him,” Demi Lovato told MTV News, before adding, “Or Jacob Black!” (Ditto, if you’re arguably the least popular Backstreet Boy: AJ McLean is Team Edward. I like him more now for playing.) Link...
