The Twilight movies has made Robert Pattinson a veritable superstar. Fans definitely think he is cool, hip and sexy as Edward Cullen. However, Rob thinks otherwise.
According to reports at Showbiz Spy, Rob says that he was uncomfortable with his look in Twilight. He allegedly called himself a tosser. Pattinson mentioned that he was worried how he'd look when the movie hit theaters, "When the first film came out I felt like a complete tosser," Robert Pattinson revealed. "It looked like I was trying to be cool or something, like Eminem."
Robert Pattinson apparently added that he may be too involved with the first Twilight Saga movie after starring and being on the Twilight soundtrack. "You know, be in a movie and then do a song for the soundtrack. But I didn’t look cool, I just looked ridiculous."
I don't think he was too involved with the first Twilight movie because we can never get enough of him. And does he look ridiculous? I don't think so. Do you?
Twilight fans know all too well that there is a faction among them -- Team Jacob and Team Edward. If you were Bella, who would you love?
Jacob
Edward
Would it be the buff guy next door, Jacob Black, or the brooding sex god, Edward Cullen? I don't know about you, but for me, it's a tough choice.
It's not just us ladies who get to decide. Director Chris Weitz says in his interview with Empire magazine that the people behind "New Moon" hope to appeal to the male audience: "You’ve got the werewolves coming in,” said Weitz, “and the effects are going to be great on that part of the movie. Also, there’s more fighting and that should appeal to the boys. There is also a male character, Jacob, who is inherently a more viable character for most boys because he’s like an ordinary guy. He works on cars, whereas Edward is a perfect man, and maybe he only appeals to perfect men. That makes the demographic rather small! So there’s more of a way into this one – we do hope to up the male demographic!"
So who would it be, guys and girls?
There's a poll at the upper right hand corner of this blog. Team Edward or Team Jacob? Make your vote count.
Kristen Stewart gets Goth and weird for an Interview magazine photo-shoot. I'm not used to seeing her like this because Bella seems to be a sweet girl next door. She sports what appears to be an '80s hairdo. Among the things that weird me out -- the sunglasses, the thick makeup and the eventual smearing of the makeup, putting a picture of her mouth over her actual mouth. And one more thing, what's with the plastic wrap?
I'm sure that a handful of us "Twilight" fans have seen the films starring Dakota Fanning and Cameron Bright, two of my favorite Hollywood child actors. Well, they are not children anymore. I had been wondering what happened to them when I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they are among the cast of "New Moon."
CAMERON BRIGHT
Cameron Bright starred in "Godsend" alongside Robert De Niro, Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique in X-Men). He convincingly played the freaky character, Adam, who was the clone of Kinnear and Stamos' dead son. Here's the trailer of the movie. Just look at his eyes.
Cameron also starred in "Birth" with Nicole Kidman, playing a boy who claims to be the reincarnation of Kidman's dead husband. Two scenes in the movie became controversial and drew media attention to Bright. In one scene, Bright and Kidman's characters kiss; in the other, the two share a bathtub. The actors wore flesh-colored swimsuits in the bath scenes and were never really naked, though this wasn't known at the time. In addition, the two actors were never filmed together in the same room at the time of the bathtub scene. (Source: Wikipedia)
Here's the trailer of "Birth."
Cameron is now 16 years old.
DAKOTA FANNING
Dakota Fanning delivered an unforgettable perfromance in "I am Sam," in which she played the daughter of a mentally challenged man (played by Sean Penn) fighting for custody of his daughter. Eight-year-old Dakota earned a Screen Actors' Guild Award nomination for her role in the film, becoming the youngest person to be nominated for the said award.
Dakota also played an uptight eight-year-old girl named Ray who was an insufferable perfectionist in "Uptown Girls." I say she should have also been nominated for her performance in this movie.
Dakota has since appeared in other movies including "War of the Worlds" and "Charlotte's Web." She also lent her voice to animated movies such as "Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch" and "The Secret Life of Bees." She is now 15 years old. If you watch the trailer, Dakota is the vampire that says, "This may hurt just a little."
Gosh, I can't wait to see Cameron and Dakota on the big screen again. Their appearance in New Moon is yet another reason for me to look forward to seeing the movie. I'm expecting stellar performances from both of them. :-)
Rob Pattinson admits that just last year, he couldn't even get a date. Now, he has hordes of screaming fans. Rob says, "Now, it seems women have changed their minds about me. It's kind of weird to get all this attention. Teenage girls are always screaming and screaming - it's so surreal."
But the Twilight actor says that he really is a "sex" symbol with the wrong age group. He quips: "It's only with 10 to 14-year-olds though and that's not the best thing in the world!" Pattinson also reveals that he didn't expect to get the part of Edward Cullen in the vampire flick because he wasn't fit enough.
He told "Now" magazine, "In the books, Edward Cullen was presented more as some kind of top model. I actually ruled myself out then because he was supposed to have this amazing body which I certainly didn't have before the audition. Honestly, when I auditioned I was convinced I didn't have a chance of getting it. I'm really surprised at how things have turned out."
Robert Pattinson played the unforgettable Cedric Diggory who was killed when he defended Harry Potter against Voldemort. After Cedric's death in the movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, quite a number of memorial videos (like this one) were posted on YouTube, Daily Motion and other video-sharing sites. Robert Pattinson was about 19 years old when he played Cedric. It was clear that he was going to be a rising star at that time.
Who would have thought that Cedric Diggory, who died, would be Edward Cullen, the undead?

Twilight Saga: NEW MOON
(Warning: May contain spoilers!)
On Isabella "Bella" Swan's 18th birthday, Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and his family throw her a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, she gets a paper cut, which causes Edward's adoptive brother, Jasper, to be overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill Bella. To protect her, Edward decides to end their relationship, and the Cullens move away from Forks. This leaves Bella heart-broken and depressed.
In the months that follow, Bella learns that thrill-seeking activities, such as motorcycle riding, allow her to "hear" Edward's voice in her head. She also seeks comfort in her deepening friendship with Jacob Black, a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. Bella discovers that Jacob is a werewolf. He and his fellow werewolves protect Bella from the vampires Laurent and Victoria, the latter of whom seeks revenge for her dead mate, James, whom the Cullens killed in Twilight.
Meanwhile, a series of miscommunications leads Edward to believe that Bella has killed herself. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, vampire royalty who are capable of killing him. Alice and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, arriving just in time to stop him. Before leaving Italy, the Volturi tell Edward that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire. When they return to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left Forks to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward's dismay. However, Edward gives Bella a choice: either she lets Carlisle change her after her graduation, or, if Bella agrees to marry him, he will change her himself.
