Happy Birthday Gil Birmingham!

A very happy birthday to Gil Birmingham!

Who said sexy stops at 30?

New Moon Dress One of a Kind?

EW has an article up on how Bella’s dress that appeared in the magazine’s photo spread of the birthday scene is a one-of-a-kind item.  Costume designer Tish Monaghan tells EW, “‘It was supposed to be a gift from Alice, so I wanted something pretty that Alice would buy, but also something vintage [looking] that would be appropriate for Bella. We dressed it down with sneakers to keep the Bella flavor.”

Now this is true, however, this weekend at Creation Entertainment’s Twi-Tour Atlanta, we met that enterprising John Henson who has collected both original costumes from the Twilight Saga movie as well as created reproductions. John got in touch with Tish awhile back and created this fabulous reproduction using the same fabric that Tish did.  It looked stunning on the display mannequin and later on his cousin at the vampire ball. The green of John’s replica dress is much richer in color, not our photos were taken via Pel’s IPhone camera in less than ideal lighting conditions.

We will have an interview with John at a future date. We were completely compelled by John’s stories of how he hunts down fabrics, original costumes, etc.

Kellan Lutz:Twilighters Italia Interview

Twilighters Italia got Kellan Lutz to comment on the paparazzi and overly zealous fans.

Billy Burke Comments to Ted Casablanca

Ted Casablanca of E! caught up with Billy Burke at a charity poker tournament at the Playboy mansion and asked him a few questions about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Billy placed 20th overall in the tournament (according to Billy’s Twitter).  Billy blamed not doing better on the “distractions”.

Here’s some of what Billy said to E! Ted Casablanca hasn’t spun another Robsten story out of it.

When asked about the pregnancy rumors, “Rob is probably pregnant with my child. It’s funny no one picked up on me and Rob’s affair.”

How do you think Rob’s handling all this attention? He seems stressed out on the set of his new movie, Remember Me… Think R.Pattz would ever get totally fed up with it and quit acting altogether?

“You mean pulling a Joaquin Phoenix? I doubt he would go that route. He’s got a lot of talent. He’s got his art, as opposed to being bogged down by all this bulls–t. I think he’s handling it well. I feel a little bit for [Rob and Kristen]. I think [the attention] was unexpected by both of them.”

Rumor Control: Kellan Lutz says not me!

The current photo hitting the web of a very buff and half naked Kellan Lutz is not him according to Kellan himself. At the Twilight Tour Atlanta convention Kellan said, “It’s not me, that guy has what like a 28 inch waist!”

Eric Feig of Summit Academy Member

“Of the 134 artists and executives recently invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, only 8 were executives. Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions for Summit Entertainment, was one of them.”

Peter Facinelli at Charlestown Mall

Peter Facinelli was at the Charlestown Mall to raise money for charity.

Creation Entertainment Atlanta Day 2

After an AMAZING, and we do mean AMAZING experience with Peter Facinelli yesterday where he entertained the crowd while the bands set up doing everything from crowd surfing, to playing La Bamba on the guitar, to playing theater games with audience participants…Oh my gosh, Peter you rock our world! We don’t know how many actors would have done all that. Seriously, what a phenomenal person to do all that. That is fan dedication for you over and above the call of duty.

Our favorite part was when Peter gave a woman in the audience a hug and said, “How has your experience here been on a scale of 1-10?” She answered, “About an 8 or a 9.” Peter then said, “What would make it a 10?” and then without warning kissed her (don’t worry Jennie it was on the cheek.) Then he said, “Does that make it a 10?” The resulting audience screams rivaled Robert Pattinson level and the kissee was rendered speechless.

Remember, follow along the fun we have today on Twitter when we meet Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz.
