  • Nikki Reed Spotted Canoodling With Derek Hough

    Nikki Reed is apparently ready to move on. It’s only been about a month since the Twilight star and the American Idol alum Paul McDonald announced their split after two years of marriage. However, several sources have reported to Us Weekly that Reed is currently dating Dancing With the Stars professional Derek Hough.

    The couple was reportedly spotted getting romantic at Rock & Reilly’s in Los Angeles in April. A source told Us, “The whole group was drinking and partying. Derek bought shots for Nikki at the bar. There was lots of PDA, Nikki was feeding him, holding hands, and they left together. They didn’t seem to care if anyone was watching.”

    Reed, 25, has also been seen hanging around The Dancing With the Stars set. The actress is friends with Derek’s sister, former Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough. A source describes Reed as a sweet and down to earth girl. However, it looks like the new pair is just having fun as Reed is reportedly concentrating on her career and finalizing her separation from McDonald. A source close to the actress told Us, “Nikki isn’t currently dating anyone. She is focused on her divorce from Paul and caring for that relationship as well as her latest film projects. Nikki and Julianne are good friends, and she has hung out with Derek a few times through her. They’re having fun but it’s nothing serious.”

    Reed and McDonald met while the singer was a contestant on Season 10 of American Idol. They were married in 2011. Despite their uncoupling, they reportedly both plan to move forward with their album I’m Not Falling.

    Most fans know Reed from her role as Rosalie Hale from the Twilight films. Apart from her career as an actress, she is also a screenwriter, singer-songwriter, and model.

  • Kristen Stewart Goes With Brand New Hair Color

    Based on her overall look and the cheating saga she went though in 2012, actress Kristen Stewart has been known to be somewhat rebellious, at least that’s what she appears to be from the outside looking in.

    And now she’s bound to add to that rebellious girl reputation, since she just dyed her hair a bright orange color. But the hair coloring has to do with a new role the actress is playing, not a personal style choice, however it’ll be interesting to see if she keeps the new do after the project has officially wrapped.

    “Kristen Stewart gettin her hair ready for a new role. #American #awesomecolor #houseofhair,” read an Instagram message written next to the photo.

    The new color not only completely changes the 23-year-old’s entire appearance, it brightens up her face and her overall demeanor a little, because the whole goth thing that Stewart usually goes with gives her a bit of a drab look.

    The actress has talked about her appearance in past interviews, and even said she plans to chop off all her hair one day, however, she can’t do that now since she’s always in front of the camera.

    “If I wasn’t an actor, I would definitely do things to my hair,” admitted Stewart. “I would cut it more, I would dye it more. At some point I want to do a total boy cut, completely. Not a pretty girly version. Like a straight up James Dean haircut.”

    In addition, the Twilight star said when she dresses casually she really tries to under-dress, and when she wants to get all spruced up she doesn’t hold back.

    “I really like extremes,” said Stewart. “I wear jeans and t-shirts and am a total tomboy, but at the same time, when I pull out all the stops, I want to f–king go for it, polarized in the other direction from my reality.”

  • Nikki Reed Spotted Post-Split from Paul McDonald

    Nikki Reed was spotted leaving a gym in Los Angeles Saturday, just hours after the announcement of her separation from American Idol Season 10 musician Paul McDonald after more than two years of marriage.

    The Twilight actress was seen wearing dark sunglasses and a black tank top, minus her wedding ring, as she left a yoga studio.

    A rep for the Twilight actress announced their breakup earlier that day in a statement.

    “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations,” the statement said.

    “They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, I’m Not Falling, releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together,” the statement continued.

    Reed, 25, and McDonald, 29, first met the Red Riding Hood premiere in March 2011. They later confirmed they were dating. The two wed in a private ceremony in front of family and friends in October 2011 in Malibu.

    The couple recorded their first EP together, The Best Part, after they were married.

    Reed opened up about married life in an interview with E! last year.

    “Independence is also really important in our relationship,” Reed explained.

    “[Paul] goes off and does his music and stuff like all day every day. We don’t just hang out together; he separates and goes to the music studio and he works and then I work too,” she said. 

    Neither Reed nor McDonald has made an individual statement about the split.

  • Nikki Reed Spotted Post-Separation from McDonald

    Nikki Reed Spotted Post-Separation from McDonald

    Twilight saga actress Nikki Reed was spotted exiting a Los Angeles gym on Saturday, following the announcement of her split from husband Paul McDonald.

    Reed’s representative initially revealed news of the separation Saturday morning, stating that “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations.”

    The rep added, “They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, I’m Not Falling, releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together.”

    Nicole Houston “Nikki” Reed, 25, began her career co-writing and starring in Catherine Hardwicke’s 2003 drama Thirteen. The script was written in six days, and was a semi-autobiographical take on Reed’s life. Though critically acclaimed, the film courted a bit of controversy due to its portrayal of drug and alcohol abuse, underage sexual behavior and self-harm.

    Here’s the trailer:

    Reed shot to international fame after director Hardwicke helped to get her cast as the character Rosalie Hale in the first installment of the Twilight saga in 2008. In December 2011, it was announced that Reed joined the cast of Pawn, an indie crime thriller starring Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, Common, Michael Chiklis, Sean Faris, Stephen Lang, Marton Csokas and Jessica Szohr.
    In July 2013, Reed signed on to the independent sports comedy Intramural, starring Jake Lacy, Kate McKinnon, Beck Bennett and Jay Pharoah.

    The actress met McDonald, a singer-songwriter and season 10 American Idol contestant, at the premiere of Red Riding Hood in March, 2011. At the MTV Movie Awards on June 5, 2011, Reed was seen wearing an engagement ring, and the couple married on October 16, 2011 in Malibu.

    Here’s the estranged couple’s video for Now That I’ve Found You:

  • Nikki Reed Spotted Out After Split from Paul McDonald Announced

    Nikki Reed was spotted out and about shortly after word of her split from hubby American Idol musician Paul McDonald was announced. The Twilight actress was seen wearing a black tank top and dark glasses following a workout at an L.A. gym. She accessorized her look with a trendy bag and some fun tights–but noticeably absent was her wedding ring. The couple has been married for two years.

    “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations,” a rep for Nikki announced. “They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, I’m Not Falling, releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together.”

    How difficult do you suppose it might be to work on an album together while in the midst of a divorce? Something says that album might never see the light of day unless Reed and McDonald have a great deal of respect for and patience with one another. Most divorced couples will probably agree that working closely with their perspective ex–shortly after making the decision to divorce–wouldn’t have worked in a million years.

    It’s sad how so many Hollywood couples let work get in the way of their marriage. They haven’t yet figured out that when the marriage comes first they will likely enjoy much happier lives in the long run. Money can afford them lots of things but not the peace and comfort that comes with a happy home life.

    Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald met back in 2011 at the Red Riding Hood film premiere. They became engaged just three months later.

    What do you think is next for this estranged couple? Will one or the other soon make tabloid news for having taken up with another celebrity?

    Nikki Reed has appeared for the past several weeks in a PSA called ‘Get Covered,’ along with The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev. The two are urging Americans to sign up for health care coverage.

  • Shailene Woodley Angers Twihard Fans with Anti-‘Twilight’ Comments

    Rising-star Shailene Woodley revealed a lot of interesting tidbits about herself in Teen Vogue’s April issue. One thing many fans might be upset to learn is that she doesn’t like Twilight.

    This year Woodley will appear in two major films based on young adult novels. The first film is the much anticipated adaptation of John Green’s bestselling book The Fault In Our Stars. The other major movie is Divergent based on Veronica Roth’s bestselling trilogy.

    Woodley wasn’t that excited about the prospect of appearing in a franchise series. She even consulted major movie star, Oscar winner, and current franchise queen Jennifer Lawrence about doing the Divergent movies. Lawrence encouraged her to take on the lead role in these films.

    Clearly Woodley is on her way towards mega-stardom, but she may have made a major PR blunder by being so vocal with her opinions. Woodley told Teen Vogue that she didn’t approve of Bella and Edward’s relationship in Twilight.

    She said, “Twilight,’ I’m sorry, is about a very unhealthy, toxic relationship. She falls in love with this guy and the second he leaves her, her life is over and she’s going to kill herself! What message are we sending to young people? That is not going to help this world evolve.”

    Though many may agree with Woodley’s assessment of the couple, none of them are starring in a film that Twilight fans are likely to go see. After Woodley’s statement, many Twilight fans (Twihards) took to various platforms, including Twitter, to voice their rage against Woodley’s opinion.

     

     

     

    One infamous Twihard fan Emma Clark took to Youtube to express her dissatisfaction with Woodley’s comments.

    Besides voicing her opinions against Twilight, Woodley has been vocal about a marketing decision for The Fault In Our Stars. Woodley speaking against certain franchises will either win her major points from her present and future fans, or alienate her against people who might rush to the seats of her movies.

  • Ashley Greene: Twilight Star Plays Priscilla Presley

    Ashley Greene of Twilight fame has transformed from vampire status to that of Priscilla Presley in a new indie film. Shangri-La Suite features Ron Livingston as Elvis Presley. Emily Browning and Alyvia Alyn Lind also star in the film.

    The film takes viewers back to 1974, and tells the story of two troubled mental hospital patients–Karen (played by Emily Browning) and Jack (played by Luke Grimes). The pair fall in love and head on a cross-country adventure where they plan to murder Elvis during an L.A. concert appearance.

    Eddie O’Keefe directs Shangri-La Suite–in fact it’s his directorial debut. Aside from the plot line and details about Ashley Greene rocking a very hot retro one piece swimsuit–not much else has been shared about the film–including when it might hit the big screen.

    Here’s what we do know about Shangri-La Suite. It takes place after Elvis and Priscilla have divorced. And believe it or not, they aren’t the focus of the film. Browing and Grimes are. The film portrays Elvis and Priscilla’s relationship as an amicable one.

    Ashley Greene is probably best known for her role as Alice Cullen in the Twilight series of films. The pretty actress and model once posed nude in a painted-on bikini for SoBe advertisements that ran in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition back in 2010. She appeared in the film flop LOL, which also starred Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore.

    Might Shangri-La catapult Ashley Greene into eternal stardom as she portrays Priscilla Presley? It doesn’t really sound that way. In fact, if it nudges her an inch or two above LOL and below Twilight (and quite honestly, to be below Twilight is itself an insult) it might just be a deemed successful–at least for her. It just doesn’t seem like any film that features an Elvis look-alike stands much of a chance in 2014.

  • Kristen Stewart on Mistakes, Losing Robert Pattinson

    Kristen Stewart spoke recently during an interview with Marie Claire about her past mistakes, including that of losing Robert Pattinson by cheating on him with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders. She knows she’s made these mistakes and she hopes they take her to a better place in the future.

    The Twilight starlet, who is soon to star in a film based in a film based on Guantanamo Bay called Camp X-Ray, says she’s still trying to figure out a lot of things–one of them being relationships.

    “Some people have certain things, like, ‘That’s what I’m going for,’ and I have a subjective version of that. I don’t pressure myself … If you fall in love with someone, you want to own them – but really, why would you want that? You want them to be what you love,” she said. “I’m much too young to even have an answer for that question.”

    Of course Kristen Stewart’s mistakes have all been played out in public–on TV, in publications and all over the internet. That certainly has added some insult to injury for the 23-year-old.

    “I stand by every mistake I’ve ever made,” she said. “So judge away.”

    Stewart also talked about how she’s often the subject of public scrutiny when it comes to how she handles the public. Often deemed awkward, withdrawn or shy–she admits to it all.

    “People are like, ‘She just can’t handle’ – for lack of a better word – ‘the spotlight.’ No, actually, I can’t, and this is totally who I am,” she admitted. “I don’t try to force it or turn it into something else or fabricate this personality… so I totally agree when people say I’m, like, the most awkward person.”

    What a lot of people seem to forget, too, is that Kristen Stewart is only 23 years old. She is barely a woman. And yes, she has been in the public eye since the inception of Twilight–where she met Robert Pattinson. That life isn’t a real one as compared to the lives lived by most of those passing judgment. Perhaps now that she has admitted to her foibles the public will cut her a bit of slack as she works to figure out what she wants in a relationship, how to deal with the “people” side of being famous and more importantly–exactly who she is.

  • Kristen Stewart Fears Filming ‘Equals’

    Kristen Stewart has never appeared to be the kind of person who lets anything shake her, however the anticipated filming of a new movie called Equals is doing just that. The Twilight actress who dates her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, admits she is terrified of playing this new role.

    “I can’t believe I agreed to do it,” she said during a recent interview.

    Stewart explained during the interview that Equals is a more modern day version of George Orwell’s classic film 1984. Filming is set to start later in 2014.

    “I’m terrified of it,” Kristen adds. “Though it’s a movie with a really basic concept, it’s overtly ambitious.”

    This sounds kind of strange coming from a young woman who thought nothing of becoming a vampire, fighting the Volturi, marrying a vampire and giving birth to his child. After playing Bella Swan opposite Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen, one might expect everything else would seem simple–or at the very least, refreshing–for Kristen Stewart.

    “In ‘Equals,’ things go wrong because you can’t deny the humanity in everyone,” said Stewart. “It’s the most devastating story.”

    The film also stars Jennifer Lawrence’s boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, and is directed by Drake Doremus. It’s the first film Doremus will direct that he hasn’t written. He certainly has an intriguing cast of characters to work with. Hopefully he is mindful of Kristen Stewart’s history with directors. It was her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders she had an affair with, resulting in the end of his marriage and her split from Robert Pattinson.

    Kristen Stewart has no doubt learned her lesson from that experience, however. And now she’ll learn to portray someone other than Bella Swan. She actually heads to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah shortly, where she stars in a film called Camp X-Ray.

    Do you think Kristen Stewart was typecast as Bella Swan in Twilight? Hopefully her roles in both Equals and Camp X-Ray will break her mold and set her off on a new career path–once she gets over her present fears.

  • Kellan Lutz: Goodbye Twilight, Hello Hercules

    Kellan Lutz has left his Twilight past and jumped into the land of Hercules. Long known for his role as vampire Emmett Cullen in The Twilight Saga series of films, he now stars as Hercules in The Legend of Hercules, which opened in theaters nationwide on Friday.

    “It’s the hero’s journey – you have the wizard, you have the antagonist, that’s the king, and you have the different missions he has to go through and the love interest in Princess Hebe. Story-wise, it’s all there, that’s what drew me to it,” Lutz said in a recent interview with Reuters. “I knew when I saw the superheroes that I wanted to fight against injustice. So from a young age, I always wanted to make the world a better place like Captain Planet would do, or He-Man, or Tarzan or Hercules.”

    How difficult do you suppose it will be for Twilight fans to see The Legend of Hercules and not think of Kellan Lutz as Emmett Cullen? Might he wind up as typecast as some feared Robert Pattinson would? It’s often difficult when beloved actors switch from long term roles into one that is fresh and new. Hopefully this will break the vampire’s spell on Kellan Lutz and make him a hit on the big screen as a hero this time around.

    Kellan certainly convinced a reporter that he has Herculean strength during a recent interview. When she asked if he performed his own stunts in the film, he lifted her off the floor–chair and all.

    Have you checked out Kellan Lutz in The Legend of Hercules? Do you think he will do the role justice or should he stick to playing a vampire and fighting the Volturi instead?

  • Kristen Stewart Goes Topless in New Perfume Ad

    Twilight star Kristen Stewart doesn’t seem to have any body image issues.

    The 23-year-old actress bared her chest in a new Balenciaga Rosabotanica ad.

    A beautiful behind-the-scenes video shows Stewart posing topless with a bottle of the perfume, covered in floral vines.

    “The vines look like they’re growing into her and becoming a part of her. She’s clearly very comfortable there and owning it,” says Stewart in the video.

    “It’s like she knows the environment so well, that when the lens steps in to take a look at her it’s like, ‘I’ve been here in my own world for so long, now who’s looking at me?’” says Stewart.

    In the video, the actress explains why she enjoyed filming the ad and felt comfortable filming topless.

    “What I like about this is that I didn’t have to turn into a different person,” she says. “The point was to capture something natural. If you ever feel like you’re forcing something or trying to get the shot suddenly it’s just not fun anymore.”

    Rosabotanica is the second fragrance in the collection that Stewart has promoted as a “storyteller.”

    “It’s very much in keeping with the story,” the Snow White and the Huntsman star explains in the video. “In the first one, it was very fresh. It was really clean and very bare in your face. In this, it’s a little more lived in. It’s like she knows the environment so well that when the lens steps in to take a look at her, it’s like, ‘I’ve been here in my world for so long, now who’s looking at me?’”

  • Kristen Stewart & Ex Will Celebrate New Year’s

    Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were once as easily recognizable for being a Hollywood couple as the romantic pair (Bella and Edward) they portrayed in the hit Twilight franchise. However, their relationship was subjected to additional pressure after Stewart was photographed kissing married Rupert Sanders, who directed Snow White and the Huntsman.

    Stewart released the following statement shortly after the incident: “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.” At that time members of the fan community mourned the end of a young, popular Hollywood couple. However, fans may have prematurely written off the relationship.

    After the couple went separate ways, debates raged over whether the relationship had permanently ended. (I know, aren’t there better things to do?) However, according to an inside source who spoke exclusively with HollywoodLife.com the two popular Twilight stars may unite to celebrate New Year’s together. “She really wants to go to the Isle of Wight with Rob, and it’s a possibility they may celebrate the New Year there, like they have in the past. This is how she wants to bring in the New Year – in a pub, drinking beers, laughing, listening to music with Rob.”

    However, do not expect the two to spend Christmas together. The source went on to explain, “Kristen has decided that she won’t spend Christmas with Rob in London because she knows he will be with his family and she doesn’t feel welcome by them, even though Rob invited her. If she goes to visit Rob in England, it will be after Christmas.”

  • Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson Cancel Christmas Plans for UK Getaway?

    Although they’ve definitely had a whirlwind romance, it looks like Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson may be looking to give love yet another chance! Last month, the rumors of their rekindled romance started to circulate, however, nothing was ever confirmed. But, the game-changer came Saturday when HollywoodLife.com caught wind of Stewart and Pattinson’s abrupt change of plans for the upcoming holidays.

    A close friend of Stewart’s spoke exclusively with the publication and set the record straight on Stewart’s holiday plans, offering details on both Christmas and New Years plans for the Twilight stars.

    “Kristen has decided that she won’t spend Christmas with Rob in London because she knows he will be with his family and she doesn’t feel welcome by them, even though Rob invited her,” Kristen’s friend informs Hollywood Life.

    Stewart opting to forego spending Christmas with her on-again, off-again lover may come as a surprise for some, but it’s probably for the best. For those who don’t know, Stewart hasn’t had the best history with Pattinson’s family, so that ‘dinner table awkwardness’ may not help any form of reconciliation! However, all may not be lost for a romantic holiday rendezvous, since there’s always the New Year holiday right around the corner!

    According to Stewart’s close friend, the New Year holiday looks quite promising.  ”If she goes to visit Rob in England, it will be after Christmas,” the source said. “She really wants to go to the Isle of Wight with Rob, and it’s a possibility they may celebrate the new year there, like they have in the past. This is how she wants to bring in the new year — in a pub, drinking beers, laughing, listening to music with Rob,” her friend said.

    If the two do end up ringing in the New Year together, it would be typical ‘Kristen and Robert’ fashion. Given their low-key, past efforts to maintain a substantial level of privacy away from the public eye, an abrupt decision for a getaway would be quite befitting. Hopefully, a romantic UK getaway is just what the doctor ordered to remedy Stewart and Pattinson’s on-going relationship.

  • Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to Ring in 2014

    Kristen Stewart and her Twilight costar and former flame Robert Pattinson will reportedly ring in the New Year together. The two will likely spend the holiday on the Isle of Wight. Plans to spend Christmas together didn’t pan out. Rob is in London with his family, and they don’t take kindly to Kristen Stewart since her dalliances with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders more than a year ago. Her fling with Sanders is the reason she and Robert Pattinson split up.

    “Kristen has decided that she won’t spend Christmas with Rob in London because she knows he will be with his family and she doesn’t feel welcome by them, even though Rob invited her. If she goes to visit Rob in England, it will be after Christmas,” a source claims. “She really wants to go to the Isle of Wight with Rob, and it’s a possibility they may celebrate the new year there, like they have in the past. This is how she wants to bring in the new year – in a pub, drinking beers, laughing, listening to music with Rob.”

    Rob and Kristen have been seeing each other off and on for a couple of months. Every time the two meet, the media notes a new bounce in Kristen’s step and a smile on her otherwise serious face. Twilight fans–known as Twihards–would love to see the two back together permanently. They no doubt dream of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan (their Twilight personas) one day finding their happily ever after.

    Kristen Stewart has been busy working on an indie film called Anesthesia. She recently wrapped filming two additional movies–Camp X-Ray and Sils Maria.

    Robert Pattinson will begin filming Queen of the Desert just after the New Year. He recently wrapped filming Maps to the Stars and The Rover. He and Kristen Stewart starred in every one of the Twilight Saga films.

    It will definitely be interesting to learn if Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson ring in the New Year together on the Isle of Wight. The two are one of the most rumor-riddled not-quite-a-couple couples around. When the paparazzi get an inch on one of them, they take at least ten miles.

    Twihards will be eagerly awaiting word on their beloved Edward and Bella. Hopefully the news will be good!

  • Creepy Twilight Doll Pulled from Movie

    Chucky could have played the part of Renesmee on “Breaking Dawn Part 2” and still would not have been as creepy as the doll they originally had planned to play the part.

    I think all members of the Twilight gang were in agreement that the doll was one of the creepiest things they have ever seen. Thank goodness they decided to use actress, Mackenzie Foy’s, face instead of the manipulated doll face. The cast even nicknamed the doll “Chuckesmee” because it was so disturbing.

    http://youtu.be/On-dunBDnts

    “Chuckesmee is one of the most grotesque animatronic babies ever to not be seen on film,” “Breaking Dawn” producer, Wyck Godfrey, said.

    Director, Bill Condon, had the same reaction to the doll. “Chuckesmee was a giant misfire on all fronts,” he said. ”Truly, it was one of the most grotesque things I’ve ever seen. It was a horror show! There was one shot where I call, ‘Cut!’ and suddenly she turns her head and mechanically stares right into the camera. It was incredibly disturbing.”

    The actress I feel most for is Nikki Reed, who had to actually hold the animatronic doll that weighed close to 60 pounds. Nikki spoke about the experience during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on the “The Ellen Show”.

    “I understand the theory behind it, you know, to have this little creature that does all the hand movements and stuff. I want the whole world to forgive me now before this movie comes out, because I’m holding like a 60-pound mechanical doll. It’s really difficult for me,” Reed said.

  • Creepy Twilight Doll Too Disturbing for Film

    “Chucky” may have been the scariest name in doll history; however, that is about to change. An animatronic doll best described as “creepy” was used to depict Edward and Bella’s child (Renesmee) in the last film. Fortunately for moviegoers Mackenzie Foy’s face was projected onto the doll. Nikki and Mackenzie were both questioned while appearing onThe Ellen Show about the behind-the-scenes work involved in filming the shot that involved the creepy doll.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On-dunBDnts

    Wyck Godfrey, the producer for the hit Twilight franchise, recently spoke about the animatronic doll.

    “Chuckesmee is one of the most grotesque animatronic babies ever to not be seen on film,” Godfrey said before explaining, “You’re trying to create something that’s otherworldly with Renesmee in the movie that has to be preternaturally intelligent yet still look like a baby but actually look a little bit more mature than one would be at one-day-old. So we ended up pulling the thing out on the day and shooting it.”

    It did not take long after seeing the doll cradled in the arms of actress Nikki Reed for cast and crew to decide against using the doll’s face.

    “The second you’re holding it up you realize this is never going to work. No fake thing is ever going to do the trick. If you’re Bella, you’re looking at it going, ‘I don’t want that thing. Put it back,” Godfrey said.

    Nikki Reed spoke about the difficulty in holding the doll that was as heavy as it was creepy. “I understand the theory behind it, you know, to have this little creature that does all the hand movements and stuff. I want the whole world to forgive me now before this movie comes out, because I’m holding like a 60-pound mechanical doll. It’s really difficult for me,” Reed said.

  • Robert Pattinson Selling Multi-Million Dollar Home

    Twilight Stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are selling their little love nest.

    The actor is hoping to sell the home that he once shared with his costar/girlfriend for a whopping $6.7 million. The home is located in Los Angeles.

    The brit first purchased the house the three bedroom, three and a half bath house in 2011. The purchase obviously happened before Stewart’s cheating scandal in July of last year.

    But where did Stewart go after the split? The actress got a $2.2 million pad down the street. A few months later during their short-lived reconciliation, the duo began spending time together in both homes in the Los Feliz neighborhood.

    But it seems the final breakup from earlier this summer seems to be for good. Pattison has been renting a sweet little pad in Beverly Hills which includes his very own sports bar and library.

    Who needs to leave home with a spot like that? The home even includes a spa.

  • Is Robert Pattinson Dating Sean Penn’s Daughter?

    It appears as though Robert Pattinson, star of the “Twilight” movies, has moved on from his cheating former ex-girlfriend/”Twilight” co-star, Kristen Stewart. Pattinson has been spotted with the daughter of legendary Hollywood actor Sean Penn. The 22 year-old model Dylan Penn(Sean Penn’s daughter) has been rumored to be seeing Pattinson, age 27, for about two months now.
    On Sept. 7th, the the two were spotted at LA’s Viper Room. An eyewitness told Life and Style Magazine that Pattinson appeared to be really in-to his date. “They were touchy-feely and very flirtatious. There was a level of comfort there,” said the party attendee. “You could tell they’ve hung out a few times.”

    It was also reported that the couple left the Viper Room and headed to Chateau Marmont for drinks and french fries after which they arrived at Pattinson’s LA pad where the two got a bit more affectionate. Pretty lucky guy, but exactly who is he dating? Is there another woman in the picture?

    Rob Pattinson is rumored to be dating his personal trainer too.

    Turns out Pattinson’s personal trainer Sydney Liebes may also have his heart. Liebes helped to get the actor in shape for his film Mission: Blacklist. Recently, they tried to evade the paparazzi when they hurriedly left Pattinson’s LA home, taking separate cars to the gym. The brunette and Pattinson have been seen together on a number of other occasions. Only a few weeks ago,  Pattinson and Liebes were spotted holding hands during a night out at Soho House in West Hollywood.

    Pattinson just a few months earlier was rumored to be dating a  string of other ladies, including Pop singer Katy Perry and even Riley Keough, Elvis Presley’s Granddaughter. So is this just gossip and hype, or is Rob Pattinson just playing the field like any other young Hollywood celeb would? What do you think?

  • Christian Serratos is “Walking Dead”; Spin-off Plans

    AMC has cast the latest add to the hit series The Walking Dead: Christian Serratos, known for her Twilight role, Angela Weber. Serratos is to recur as Rosita Espinosa in the adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic book series which is entering Season 4 in October; Serratos has an option to be a regular in Season 5.

    The casting reveal happens as AMC announces planning for a companion series to The Walking Dead. Kirkman joins others as executive producer and AMC Studios will produce the series anticipated to air in 2015.

    Charlie Collier, AMC president and general manager says, “Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer.” Meaning zombies would agree?

    Kirkman states, “After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn’t be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe.” Kirkman says that the new venture will not be outlined by the comic book, calling it a, “blank page.”

    Serratos, born Christian Marie Bernardi, is a Southern California native. She will celebrate her 23rd birthday at the end of this week. Growing up, she studied dance and ice-skating. Her resume includes time as a Ford model. She has been a teen TV staple, playing roles in several Nickelodeon series as well as 7th Heaven, Hannah Montana and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. The actress also has a single episode of American Horror Story under her belt. She is scheduled to be in the upcoming features 7500 and Broken Doll.

    P.S. Breaking Bad diehards will be glad to hear that AMC is also working up a spin-off following the lawyer, Saul Goodman, under the working title Better Call Saul.

  • Go Daddy Nerd Sexually Harasses “Twilight” Star

    The nerd who forced us all to give a collective “Ewwww” during this year’s Super Bowl by swapping saliva with Bar Refaeli is in trouble this week after he accosted “Twilight” star Nikki Reed and forced a kiss on her.

    Jesse Heiman says he’s been ordered to apologize and to cancel his appearances this week by his employer. No comment yet from Reed, but the video kind of says it all. Let this be a lesson to you: no matter how many Go Daddy ads you do, it’s still not cool to force your mouth on random women in parking garages.
