Twilight’s Kristen Stewart: Playing Bella Is "Annoying"
October 3, 2009
Us Magazine Kristen Stewart is no fan of the fame that comes with starring in Twilight.
“I’d like to take more walks after work, instead of having to come back to my hotel room and not leave. So it can be boring,” The actress, 19, tells the 40th Anniversary issue of Interview magazine.

“I’ve been working as an actress since I was very young, and I know a lot of people who are actors who don’t have to deal with having a persona,” Stewart — who got her big break starring in “Panic Room” at age 9 — goes on. “The whole meaning of the word is that it’s made up, and it’s like I didn’t even get to make up my own. It can be annoying.”
“Some nights, I think, ‘You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.’ Then the next day I think, ‘Ugh. Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.’ But it’s like, no, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person,” she says.

But Stewart doesn’t think she’ll always be so famous.
“I have a really strong feeling that this is going to go away, that this is the most intense it’s going to get — and could get — and that it’s fleeting,” she says. “So in a few years, I will hopefully become more like the people I want to become like.”

If her whole career involved filming the vampire flicks, she laments that she “would have been a psychopath by the end of a four-year stint on the Twilight saga without anything like that to change it up.”
Even though she’s over the stardom, her parents couldn’t be more excited, Stewart says.
“My dad is ridiculous. He’s, like, embarrassingly proud. He really goes overboard, like walking around with magazines and sh–. When this comes out, if this is mentioned in the magazine, he’s going to walk around the set and be like, ‘Hey, look at what my kid said,’” she says.

Pattinson has "Breaking" news for "Twilight" fans
May 21, 2009Actor Robert Pattinson poses during a photocall at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival May 19, 2009. REUTERS/Regis DuvignauReuters CANNES, France (Hollywood Reporter) - Robert Pattinson, who shot to stardom in “Twilight” and is now filming the second and third movies in the franchise, confirmed Tuesday at the Cannes festival that there will be a fourth installment of the vampire franchise, based on the book “Breaking Dawn.”
Pattinson told The Hollywood Reporter that he is committed to starring in the fourth outing but doesn’t know when studio Summit Entertainment will begin production because of the actor’s jam-packed shooting schedule.
Fans have been hoping for a movie version of the fourth novel from Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series, and Pattinson’s commitment is the biggest fillip yet. The fourth book — caution: spoiler alert — centers on Bella and Edward’s marriage and her subsequent pregnancy.
Dropping in at the Cannes festival on his way to the final four days of shooting in Italy for “New Moon,” the second “Twilight” film, Pattinson said he will return to Vancouver in October to finish up “Eclipse,” the third installment. In between, the British actor, who turned 23 last week, plans to star in the romantic drama “Remember Me,” which Summit also is producing.
The script adaptation for “New Moon” beefs up his character’s role considerably — in the book, Edward is a “a voice in Bella’s head,” he said.
Said Pattinson, laughing: “You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination, so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring.”

“You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” Robert said.
The vampire franchise has catapulted Robert’s career - and it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Robert will take a few days off after finishing “New Moon” before starting the filming of “Remember Me,” a drama about two lovers.

Woman finds ‘Twilight’ sequel script in trash
May 12, 2009
ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts — the pages from an upcoming “Twilight” sequel — in a trash bin.
Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel “New Moon,” and one for a different movie titled “Memoirs.” She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies’ premieres, her lawyer said.
Ray recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, “Up in the Air.”
It’s not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.
The Clooney movie includes actress Anna Kendrick, who is also in the “Twilight” vampire movie. A spokeswoman for Kendrick, Lisa Perkins, said the actress wouldn’t have left scripts lying around.
When Ray found the scripts, she considered leaking them to a national tabloid but decided against it, said her lawyer, Al Watkins.
“My client didn’t really want to get paid,” he said, but she was interested in hanging onto the scripts as collector’s items.
Watkins helped her return them to Los Angeles-based Summit Entertainment LLC, the studio making the movies. He said the studio invited Ray to premieres for the two films, and will certify the scripts as authentic after the movies are released.
“Summit doesn’t comment on any of the deals it does,” Summit spokesman Paul Pflug said. But he added, “We thank Ms. Ray for doing the right thing.”
The “Twilight” movies are based on the novels of Stephenie Meyer, so many of the plot turns are well known to readers. But keeping the “New Moon” script written by Melissa Rosenberg out of the public eye preserves which elements of the book will be included in the films, Pflug noted.
Last year’s original “Twilight” film grossed over $350 million worldwide.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
‘Twilight’ Screenwriter Wants Channing Tatum : Channing Tatum has proven he’s good at playing the bad boy - case in point: “Step Up,” “Stop-Loss” & “Fighting” - but can he play a vampire bad boy? “Twilight” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg sure thinks so! “There’s a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well,” “Twilight” and “New Moon” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who is currently writing the “Eclipse” script, told E! Online this weekend at the Los Angeles Times Book Festival benefit for the Writers Guild Foundation. “And there are some complexities to that character… He really is tragic. He’s a puppet for Victoria [bad-girl vampire played by Rachelle Lefevre]. So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realizes that she doesn’t want him. Channing could do that beautifully.” We’re losing track of the “Twilight” hottie count!

Did Madge Get Jesus A Gig?: Now that Madonna is recovering after her equestrian accident, the pop star reportedly has model Jesus Luz tending to her needs - at least when he’s not busy on the catwalk. According to a New York Post Page Six source, designer Marc Jacobs , “wrote a letter of support for Jesus’ work permit” allowing him to stay in the country. “All these fashion lines are hiring Jesus as a favor to Madonna . As long as he can legally work in the U.S., they can be together,” the source claimed. Madonna ’s rep told the paper, that the pop star is “not at all involved in managing the career of Jesus Luz. His Dolce job was arranged through his agents.” And Marc Jacobs ‘ rep had no comment about the report. Regardless of how Jesus got his current gig, we’re sure that having him around will aid in Madge’s speedy recovery!

The source claimed, “two high-school guys, who had no idea who she was, were totally hitting on her.

That’s a new one for me,” he Tweeted. “Rolling Stone’s August 12, 2009 issue is a real piece of s**t.” I guess we know who won’t make the cover anytime soon!

Is the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Being Banned in School Libraries?
March 20, 2009The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga has gone missing from the shelves of a a junior-high school near the Mormon stronghold of Salt Lake City, UT after complaints from parents uncomfortable with its content–
Stephenie Meyer’s popular Twilight series chronicling the romance of a vampire and teenage girl is notoriously all build-up, no bite.
But a parent’s complaint over sexual content in the Mormon author’s fourth novel, Breaking Dawn, coincided with the book’s temporary absence from the library at Brockbank Junior High.
Officials at the Magna school purchased copies of the book some time ago, but as of Wednesday hadn’t placed them on library shelves. Principal Terri Van Winkle would not say whether the delay stemmed from a parent’s complaint about a honeymoon scene in which sex is implied between the central characters Bella and Edward. But Granite School District officials confirm a complaint was voiced.
Officials at Jordan, Davis and Salt Lake districts say they aren’t aware of any school bans of the Twilight books.
“I know some of the elementary school librarians keep it behind the counter. That way, they can ensure that the parent approves of the child checking it out,” said Bonnie Flint at the Davis district.
Previously, we mentioned a Los Angeles Time article with concerns over whether Breaking Dawn is too sexy for youngsters.
