Jamie Campbell Bower & Zoe Graham: Picture Taking Pair



Just Jared reports:

Continuing their Rome-antic vacation, The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Jamie Campbell Bower and his girlfriend Zoe Graham take in more sites of Rome, Italy on Saturday afternoon (October 24).

Jamie and Zoe couldn’t help but take their own photos of the Trevi Fountain and The Pantheon.

The Trevi fountain actually is the source of a romantic myth: a long time ago a glass of the thirst quenching water from the fountain was said to ensure good fortune. Now, visitors toss a coin into the fountain over their left shoulder. 

We wonder if Jamie and Zoe wished for anything? The tourist twosome walked around the Piazza de Spagna on Friday afternoon.

Ashley Greene & Kellan Lutz: Eclipse Is Done!


Just Jared reports:

Kellan Lutz gives BFF costar Ashley Greene a hug before they part ways as they arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Saturday evening (October 24).

The Eclipse costars just wrapped filming on the third film in The Twilight Series. Ashley tweeted, “Guys I can’t believe we’re almost done filming ECLIPSE! How crazy is that?!”

Ash and Kellan won’t be separated for long though — they’ve got a Halloween party to host at Tao Las Vegas next week and then they’ll be touring the country on the New Moon Cast Tour.
















Eclipse departures



--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Lainey Gossip reports:

Several cast members have wrapped on Twilight Eclipse in Vancouver and one by one they're heading out. Perhaps for good. Perhaps. As I've already noted, British Columbia's incentives are less attractive than other competing cities. The strength of the Canadian dollar, ironically, isn't helping either. Was at a tv junket all day today, chatting with local production teams, and they are feeling it, worried that the work might dry up. Big hint to the BC government.

On Saturday it was Ashley Greene and Taylor Lautner at Vancouver airport looking happy and relieved, making their exits with all their gear, now in promotion mode. With the release of New Moon less than a month away, we will be drowning in Twilight for the next several weeks as the actors embark on a massive publicity campaign that, for Summit, will hopefully result in a tremendous opening weekend take.

New Moon could be the biggest "regular weekend" premiere box office of the year considering that the previous summer juggernauts made their debuts on Wednesdays. Last year Laura predicted $70 million and won a bet with Stan. This year she's still mulling over her number. Whatever it is, there's no doubt New Moon will be huge. And its stars will be hustling for it all over the world.

We're not quite finished yet though. A few scenes have yet to be shot and this will all happen in studio including "Edward" beating the sh-t out of and killing "Victoria" and...something to make you Twi-Hards jizzy:

My sources tell me exclusively that the final Eclipse scene to be filmed will involve some romance. "Bella" tries to work "Edward" Pattinson's Marble Pole. Also there's some corny banter about how he would have pursued her old school styles.

As for Taylor…

Has to be said, because damn, he’s ONLY 17, but for me personally, these are the first shots that have prompted a loud ass f-ckin’ inner monologue reminder that this sh-t is illegal. I don’t even care about the shoes. Taylor Lautner is not a boy anymore

Bronson Pelletier Makes a Cancer Stricken Girl’s Dream Come True



New Moon-er Bronson Pelletier (aka Jared) has officially brought tears to my eyes. He recently spent time with 13 year-old Taylor Harris, who is suffering from Leukemia.

The New Zealand Herald reports -

Taylor Harris, who is suffering from leukaemia, met actor Bronson Pelletier from soon-to-be-released Twilight: New Moon at the Rendezvous Hotel in a meeting organised by charities and Hoyts Cinemas.

Taylor was in awe at meeting her favourite character in the vampire romance series, the wildest of a pack of wolves.

“I’m kind of, like, star-struck,” she said.

She had been left speechless the previous day when she found out about the meeting, she said.

According to Taylor, her mother Jacqui had also perked up in preparation for the meeting with the wild wolf, finding shirtless photos of Pelletier on Google.

Mrs Harris said the meeting had been the highlight of an otherwise grim year for Taylor.

“It’s the most animated I’ve seen her since her diagnosis. She didn’t quite know what to say. She was beside herself.”

Taylor had been diagnosed with leukaemia early this year and began bi-weekly chemotherapy treatments at the end of May.

The treatments had been taking a toll on Taylor, Mrs Harris said.

“She’s had her moments. After chemo she feels sick and very tired. There’s not a lot to look forward to. It’s one week of chemo, one week off. Sometimes she doesn’t ever feel well for a while.”

A successful surgery in September meant Taylor could be done with her treatments next year.

She had five sessions of chemotherapy spread over three months left to go, “fingers crossed”, Mrs Harris said.

The family were based in Shanghai and had to split up this year for Taylor’s treatment.

The meeting was one of three with ill children scheduled for the Canadian actor, who is in Auckland for the Armageddon expo this weekend.

On Saturday night Pelletier will have dinner with a girl given only six months to live.

He had a reservoir of energy which he was happy to share, he said.

“I feel good if I can bring a smile to someone.”

Hoyts Cinemas marketing executive Kate Stace said Child Cancer Foundation and Win a Wish Foundation had helped the company pick three fans to meet Pelletier, while a “Win a Date” draw for the general public had been inundated.

Bronson – You are Amazing.

New Jackson Rathbone MTV interview



MTV just released a new interview the the talented Jackson Rathbone who plays, of course, Jasper Hale. The interview is all about how they tackled all of Jasper's flashbacks in Eclipse:

"I got to go back into my old roots, got to ride some horses again, which was nice. Got to put these riding boots to use, which is good," Rathbone said, motioning to his boots. "I actually can ride a horse."

In Eclipse, Jasper tells Bella about his life before he met Carlisle Cullen. Unlike Edward, Rosalie, Esme and Emmett, both Jasper and Alice Cullen were transformed into vampires before they met Carlisle. Jasper plays a large role in the third installment of the series because he is the only vampire among them who knows how to combat the newborn vampire army Victoria is building.

Jasper's backstory, which takes place during the Civil War, will be told through flashbacks, Rathbone confirmed. Though the explanation of Jasper's history takes up a good portion of the novel, he hinted that the film version would be shorter.

"It was just really fantastic to get to delve in there and to get to don all the Civil War regalia and whatnot. That was a pleasure," he said. "I had to wear this wool suit of a major, cavalry major. "I got the big hat and everything. Hop off the horse, bow to these ladies, and then I get eaten. And then I get turned!"

There will also be flashbacks of Jasper training newborn vampires while he's still "a bad dude, a bad vampire," Rathbone said. He added that training from another film, "The Last Airbender," including wrestling, hand-to-hand combat and weapon play, was useful since there wasn't much time to prepare for the fight scenes in "Eclipse." But Rathbone was quick to clarify none of the vampires' combat scenes would be martial art-y.

Rathbone said Jasper will tell Bella his story after a training sequence where he helps the Cullens prepare for the newborn army that's approaching.

"It's actually the first time Bella and Jasper interact that's longer than one sentence, or me attacking her," Rathbone said, laughing. "Kristen and I kept saying it was really nice to get to work together because we had never had a chance to really, kind of, like, get into some dialogue."

Biting off more than he can chew?

Bela Lugosi never had to deal with hordes of screaming teenage girls like Robert Pattinson does.

But that's just the appeal of Edward Cullen, the brooding vampire Pattinson plays onscreen and the love interest in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" book series. Last fall's "Twilight" movie began the love affair between Edward and the shy human girl Bella (Kristen Stewart); the sequel, "New Moon," out Nov. 20, finds Edward banishing himself from Bella's life.

To get a modern image of a vampire, Pattinson initially watched movies such as "Interview With the Vampire" and "Blade." But he really discovered who Edward was by researching outcast roles not involving the undead. "Rebel Without a Cause was a big influence on the first ["Twilight" film] -- it influenced the hairdo and stuff," Pattinson says, laughing. "In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump."

A James Dean type -- that is, Pattinson -- always attracts teenage girls in flocks. "It's like The Birds, with teenage girls," says "New Moon" director Chris Weitz. "You turn around, and there would be a line of girls standing there."

Pattinson, 23, a native of London, takes all the swooning over his lanky, 6-foot-tall frame and wildly styled hair in stride. "I'm not entirely sure what it is," he says. "I'll probably realize afterward how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights."

And there's the fact that many haven't yet separated Pattinson the actor from Edward the vampire. "Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward," he says. "I don't really mind either way. There's something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people.

"If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don't know if I could be bothered to fight," he says, chuckling again. "I just let it go by."

Saturday Night Magazine talks to Alex Meraz "bad boy of the wolf pack

Saturday Night magazine had the privilege to catch up with Alex Meraz and ask him some questions. Here are some highlights...




What can you tell us about Paul?

Paul is the "bad boy" of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he's misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people.

Did you and Taylor get at all competitive in terms of shirtless attributes?

First day I met Taylor I overheard him ask Edi Gathegi [who plays Laurent] if I was bigger than him. Edi answered, "He's just wider". I teased him about overhearing it and from there we became gym buddies and shared workout tips with each other.

Are you prepared for the hoard of female fans you’re about to gain?

Bring it on.
