Top Five Best Things About New Moon
Originally posted 11/20/2009 03:50PM
Because The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the most highly anticipated movie of the year, fervent fans – whether on Team Edward or Team Jacob – are practically salivating at the prospect of seeing their favorite heartthrobs on the big screen once the movie opens Friday.
Find out the top five aspects to New Moon that fans can eagerly anticipate. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)
Jacob Black's Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. In fact, Lautner sizzles and smolders throughout New Moon as he walks the line between friendship and romance with Bella (Kristen Stewart). Though Bella's heart belongs to Edward (Robert Pattinson), Launter may steal Pattinson's heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose.

Rob & Kristen Keep Their Distance at New Moon Screening
Originally posted 11/20/2009 03:45PM
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart caused a fan frenzy when they showed up – separately – for the Cinema Society and D&G screening of New Moon Thursday in New York City.
Wearing a sleek Dolce & Gabbana suit, a button-down and his famously touseled hair, Pattinson worked the red carpet at the Landmark Sunshine Theater as dozens of cameras flashed and fans broke down into tears. "Robert completes me!" exclaimed one 11-year-old fan.
Pattinson – who plays sexy vampire Edward Cullen to Stewart's soulful teenager Bella Swan – arrived at the screening about 20 minutes before his rumored real-life love Stewart made her appearance on the red carpet.

Trailer Park | MySpace Video
Sure, he's the face of The Twilight Saga, but Robert Pattinson is more than just a brooding vampire.
In the MySpace trailer for his upcoming drama, Remember Me, Pattinson plays Tyler, an angst-ridden rebel without a cause who butts heads with his father (Pierce Brosnan), gets in trouble with a New York City cop (Chris Cooper) and complicates things by falling for the police officer's daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin).
Remember Me – also a Summit Entertainment film – opens March 12, 2010.

Peter Facinelli Delivers Love Letters to Rob Pattinson
Originally posted 11/19/2009 10:30AM
He may play Robert Pattinson's adopted vampire dad in the Twilight movies – but in real life, Peter Facinelli is more like the Brit's wingman.
"People always come up to me say, 'Oh my god ... can you give this letter to Rob?" the actor tells Women's Health for its December issue. "I've become the pony express to Rob Pattinson."
Not that it goes both ways.
"I've yet to get one letter from [him]," Facinelli, who's married to Jennie Garth, says. "Maybe he's hoarding them."

It's all true, Twilight fans: Robert Pattinson is dating a costar, is engaged, has had a drug overdose, and has had an injury involving his derriere. All of it.
"I actually come up with these rumors myself," the British actor, 23, laughingly told Matt Lauer on Thursday morning's Today show.
In a chuckle-filled, rapid exchange of questions and answers with the morning host, Pattinson squarely took on all the outlandish rumors that have dogged him for the last few months – and jokingly fessed up to each and every one.

Robert Pattinson: A Fan Took Her Clothes Off for Me
Originally posted 11/18/2009 05:40PM
Robert Pattinson didn't realize the power of his own words – until a fan starting stripping after he made an off-hand suggestion.
It happened "after a period of signing 500 signatures," the New Moon heartthrob tells Ellen DeGeneres on her show that airs Friday.
"You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything and I kind of got bored of saying, 'Hey, how are you doing?'" Pattinson tells the talk-show host. "[A fan] said in her 10 seconds, 'What can I do to get your attention?' I was like um, just take your clothes off."
The fan's reaction? "She stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security," says Pattinson. "I never felt more terrible."

Couples Flock to New Moon After Party
Originally posted 11/17/2009 06:30PM
New Moon may be about a love triangle, but it was couples night at the party after the film's Los Angeles premiere Monday night.
Following the screening of Twilight's much-anticipated sequel, costars and fans headed to L.A.'s Hammer Museum.
Jennifer Love Hewitt and boyfriend Jamie Kennedy attended the party, which had an Italian theme as a nod to the New Moon Volturi scenes set in Volterra, Italy. "They were holding hands and walking around, they kept to themselves for the most part," says a fellow partygoer. "They looked like they were having a good time."
Another set of costars who seemed happy to be hanging out? Glee cast members Lea Michele and Mark Salling. "They were whispering, giggling, and talking closely to each other," says the source. "They looked like they were flirting!" (For the record, Michele's rep says the costars are not a couple.)

How Robert Pattinson Felt Doing His New Moon 'Striptease'
Originally posted 11/17/2009 04:35PM
When Robert Pattinson bared his glistening chest in Italy last spring, Twi-hards nearly went blind. Now, the Twilight hunk breaks his silence on nearly taking it all off in New Moon!
"I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off," he told Parade.com. "I was essentially doing a striptease."
And although Team Edward devotees went berserk over the sight of his bare torso, Pattinson said shooting the scene in front of his fans – who flew across the world to be a part of the crowd – helped him connect with them on a deeper level.
"It was also one of the moments where I've really felt closest to people's emotional attachment to Edward," he says. "It was a moment where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories."
