Robert Pattinson Needs Your Support

Over a Bravo Rob has been nominated for Celebrity A-list Breakout star.

4TNZ  has Rob nominated for Best Head of Hair. No word yet if the New Moon makeup artists are out buying copper colored hair extentions.

Next up is the news that Rob’s Salvador Dali film, Little Ashes, has been postponed until May 8th. The film was originally scheduled to debut on March 27th, the same day as Kristen Stewart’s film Adventureland. Both films have gotten excellent buzz especially Adventureland at Sundance. It now looks like the competition is off.

SAG Getting Ugly Again

Things are heating up again over at the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) talks. If SAG does strike, it will knock out major TV and film project this spring including New Moon. Twilight narrowly avoided the fallout from the Writer’s Strike (WGA) last year. Most of the script was penned before the strike, and the strike was settled just prior to shooting beginning.  In the last two months we’ve seen:

  • Warring factions with A-list actors taking sides and taking out dueling ads in industry papers.
  • Talks back in November with a federal mediator present tank after two days
  • A strike vote that was originally scheduled for right after Christmas wisely get postponed
  • And perhaps our personal favorite the firing of Doug Allen (their chief negotiator) in a not so secret palace coup

So why are we bringing this up now?  This is what the studio bosses said when talks broke off Thursday:

“this is our last, best and final offer”. The went on to say, “The terms in the offer are the best we can or will offer in light of the five other major industry labor deals negotiated over the past year and the extraordinary economic crisis griping the world economy.”

That’s an ultimatum if we ever saw one. Expect people to be polite and not really mention it too much until Sunday’s Oscar ceremony is over. After that it’s anyone’s guess as to what SAG’s next move is going to be.

Taylor Lautner Pops By InStyle

Taylor popped by the InStyle offices for an interview. He’s Japan bound, along with Robert Pattinson for the Japanese premiere of Twilight. They are crazy for Twilight in Japan.  One of the very first languages Twilight was translated into was Japanese. So, the fans there have been gearing up for awhile. We are seriously betting that the screaming is going to rival the LA red carpet.

Speaking of screaming fans, Taylor mentioned to InStyle:

“The 17 year-old has been hit with such a fan base that he no longer can go to malls, but he can occasionally find a solitary moment for a meal at one of the local restaurants in his neighborhood. He also told us that he learned the hard way NOT to go see his movie opening weekend–he went to Universal City Walk to catch Twilight with the movie-goers and ending up having to be escorted out by the secret service because of the fandemonium.”

NOTE TO TAYLOR: If you get the munchies, do not assume you can just walk out of your hotel in Japan and go for sushi…BAD IDEA.

Happy Birthday Ashley


Here’s to hoping that Ashley had a blast last night celebrating her birthday in Vegas. She looks like it’s going to be a pull-out-all-the-stops Vegas party based on her early planning visit. If you’re going to the Salute to Twilight Convention this weekend, remember to wish Ashley a very happy birthday.

Chris Weitz Will Not Direct Eclipse

Hot Off the presses from Entertainment Weekly:

Chris Weitz will not direct the third film in the Twilight series, Eclipse, a source close to the production tells EW.com exclusively. Because New Moon, which Weitz is helming, and Eclipse are due to be released so close together, Weitz will be in post-production on New Moon at the same time that Eclipse will be shooting. That said, the source confirms a report that the movies will not be shot simultaneously or back-to-back; there will be a brief gap between the production of both films.

So, anyone want to start guessing who will get the job for Eclipse? This is very typical for chain movies to have more than one director.  Anyone have any names they want to throw out there? How about Mimi Leder?

Eclipse to Premiere June 30, 2010

Nikki Finke form Deadline Hollywood has been told by Summit that Eclipse will come out on June 30, 2010.

Here’s the official Summit description:

“As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.”

As usual, Nikki has a lot of inside details. Click here to check them all out.

Anna Lynne Goes Fishing

If last night’s red carpet is any indication, Anna Lyne McCord absolutely knows how to reel people in. She certainly hooked all the photographers there.  She had them eating out of her hand while posing very retro Marilyn Monroe. It’s all going to be good experience if she gets the role of Heidi.

Now here’s where this role gets interesting. Yesterday OK Magazine reported that Anna Lynne had in fact gotten the role, and now a mere 24 hours later they are saying she turned it down due to scheduling conflict. (We’re still waiting for anyone else to confirm the OK magazine story from either day.)

So here’s our thought. Kellan Lutz her 90210 co-star and friend is going to be at the Salute to Twilight Convention this weekend. Ask him. At this point, we’re thinking Kellan is probably more reliable than the print media whose story changes are giving us whiplash.

Twilight Stars Celebrate in Vegas

Both Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene celebrated their birthday’s, or in Ashley’s case an early birthday, in Vegas.  Ashley’s actual birthday is Saturday, but she’s starting her bash tonight.

Now if you happen to actually be in Vegas, and be over 21, you can celebrate Ashley’s birthday with her at Prive.

If you’re attending the Salute to Twilight Convention this weekend in San Fransisco, make sure you wish Ashley a happy birthday on Sunday! That’s dedication, spending your birthday weekend with Twilight fans!
