Ashley Greene: New Moon Is a Heartbreaker
Originally posted 11/01/2009 08:30AM
Giving their vampire and werewolf costumes a break, New Moon stars Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz headed to Nevada Saturday to celebrate Halloween and host the Yelloween party at Tao Las Vegas.
Lutz, dressed as Batman's sidekick Robin, and Greene, plumed up as a peacock, hit the red carpet as hundreds of Twilight Saga fans gathered to get a glimpse of them, while the two actors skillfully ducked any question that didn't pertain to their upcoming movie. New Moon opens Nov. 20.
Following a dinner of Asian cuisine with about 20 friends, Lutz, 24, and Greene, 22, headed to a VIP skybox at Tao that overlooks the club. Sipping on Veuve Clicquot Champagne, the sponsor of the night, the two didn't seem to notice the hundreds of people vying for their attention – though, apparently in the party spirit, at one point Lutz grabbed the microphone and told the club, "Let's do a massive amount of shots."

New Moon Director Wants to Make Fans Cry
Originally posted 10/27/2009 03:25PM
With New Moon ready to rise in theaters Nov. 20, director Chris Weitz wants it known: He is going to try to make you cry.
"We've tried our best to deliver on the romantic scenes in the film, and I would like to be able to produce more tears than any movie before, if possible," Weitz told PEOPLE at the Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards Monday of capturing moments in the Twilight saga's love triangle. "If we could only weigh them with some kind of cubic tear measure!"
Weitz, who took over the directing reigns from Catherine Hardwicke, admits delivering the passion, thrills and heartache in the hotly anticipated sequel wasn't easily done.
"I've handled it very badly, because I'm extremely envious of Rob [Pattinson] and Taylor [Lautner]," he said laughing. "What I've realized is that they have a very tough job – not just playing the characters that they play, but living lives that are now very much under scrutiny all the time."

Taylor Lautner Avoiding More Shirtless Roles?
Originally posted 10/27/2009 02:30PM
Say it ain't so, Twilighters: Taylor Lautner has been wooing fans to Team Jacob ever since stills from New Moon showed the 17-year-old sporting an impressive set of abs. But as the film's Nov. 20 release draws nearer, Lautner, who plays Jacob, reveals he may be finished with shirtless scenes.
"My motivation was the movie and the fans," MTV.com quotes him as telling Aceshowbiz.com about packing on 30 lbs. of muscle. "But I don't want to become known as just a body."
He added: "If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."

Kristen Stewart Trades Parties for Privacy
Originally posted 10/04/2009 02:40AM
For Interview's 40th anniversary, cover girl Kristen Stewart was interviewed by celebrated actor Dennis Hopper – who accepted the assignment with a bit of an ulterior motive.
"My daughter is your biggest fan, so I thought, 'What the hell?' " the actor joked when Stewart admiringly asked why he agreed to conduct the Q&A. The daughter made out too: The Twilight star happily obliged to speak to Hopper's 6-year-old daughter, Galen.
Fan encounters have become old hat for the 19-year-old star, who is readying for the launch of another press tour to promote the release of Twilight sequel New Moon, out Nov. 20.
"I feel so boring because Twilight is literally how every conversation I have these days begins," she tells Hopper.
And with the pandemonium surrounding the franchise showing no signs of slowing down, Stewart understands the media attention is here to stay.

How Fame Hasn't Changed Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
Originally posted 09/18/2009 11:00AM
They became overnight superstars after the success of the first Twilight movie, but Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson haven't let it go to their heads.
"When you go from being a relative unknown to being a success overnight, you definitely grow in leaps and bounds," says Rachelle LeFevre, who plays evil vampire Victoria in Twilight and the upcoming sequel New Moon. "The thing that was most striking for me was the way in which they didn't change."

Originally posted 08/12/2009 03:25PM
There's never a dull moment for the Twilight cast, who headed to Vancouver Monday to begin pre-production for Eclipse, the third installment of Stephenie Meyer's hit vampire series.
Eclipse will have all of the tortured, mortal angst that Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, goes through in Twilight and New Moon – but with more action, more blood, and yes, more Robert Pattinson.
The book picks up with Pattinson's character, Edward Cullen, and Bella reunited as a couple, while Jacob (Taylor Lautner) continues to vie for Bella's heart. But as Edward and Jacob compete for Bella's affections, the clans of vampires and werewolves unite over the common enemy: A set of murderous vampires (including the Volturi) who are on the hunt for Bella.
Here's what to expect on and off set in Vancouver as filming gets underway.

She may not know anything about losing Rachelle Lefevre as a Twilight castmate, but Nikki Reed has a pretty good idea why fans swoon for costar Robert Pattinson.
With news still fresh on Lefevre being replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in Eclipse, the third film of the popular series, Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie Hale, tells PEOPLE she hasn't "talked to [Lefevere] yet." "I don't know anything about it other than a schedule conflict," said Reed at the Express TXT L8TR Campaign party at Nobu in West Hollywood Wednesday night – the same day the news broke of the switch.
