Robert Pattinson Takes Over Planet HollywoodRobert Pattinson takes over Planet Hollywood with a special hand print ceremony in New York City on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Twilight actor recently admitted in a Q&A session that he’d prefer to see Bella with Jacob, rather than with his character Edward: “I’d go with Jacob [for Bella]. Jacob is way more interesting…If you have a girlfriend that’s like Edward…yeah, you’re hot and everything, but just shut up.” The Twilight cast is taking their show on the road too! Robert, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and others from the highly anticipated movie are coming to malls across the country as part of the Hot Topic Twilight Tour. To see if they’re coming to a town near you, visit HotTopic.com! Source: JJ Robert Pattinson Has an Incredible Six PackRobert Pattinson takes a few moments to pose with fans outside of MTV’s TRL Studios in New York City on Tuesday afternoon. The 22-year-old actor appeared at the Apple Store in Soho yesterday along with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. When asked if he was anything like his on-screen persona Edward Cullen, Robert told the packed store, “I have an incredible six-pack. I’m joking. I can run really fast. I’m good at climbing trees. I always get carried away when I’m kissing people. I just go nuts.” Check out this behind-the-scenes clip from the film and tune into TRL @ 3:30 PM ET/PT on MTV this Thursday to see Robert talk Twilight!

Haha love the articles!
But Robs team Jacob?! WTH...?! Does he want fans to get irritated with him? He is Edward after all! lol
Still, I'm loving reading all the interviews with him at the moment! Heres a good one, he's really modest about things clearly..
Twilight countdown- Robert answers your questions!
What goes through your mind when you’re greeted by crowds of screaming fans? It’s kind of like being in some medieval battle (laughs). I mean I guess that’s the closest analogy, especially after yesterday. A ton of people ran down the street outside the Apple store. I felt like I was literally being charged by Celts (laughs).
How many bodyguards are around you when you do these events? It depends. I don’t know how many there were yesterday, but there were like NYPD cops everywhere! It was completely crazy. There were four guys just literally carrying me out of the place (laughs). It was quite funny.
Have you seen yourself as “dazzling” Edward in the meadow yet? No, I haven’t. I don’t watch my stuff. Ever.
Why? Because it makes me feel like I’ll never want to do a job again (laughs).
Why did you audition for “Twilight”? What did you know about it going in? I knew a bit about it. I didn’t know much about the book. I went into it thinking it was a vampire film directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who does like gritty sort of realistic indie films. If you’re doing a vampire fantasy shot like “Thirteen,” then that would be interesting. That’s why I went into it really, and it ended up being something totally and utterly different.
How so? It’s very intimate. In “Harry Potter,” there are entire worlds encompassed in it. “Twilight” is so claustrophobic in some ways. The little town of Forks is so small, and the way it’s written is so obsessive. But because it’s so lingering, it takes on this different power, and the whole story becomes this sort of opera, which I didn’t have any idea about when I went in to do it.
Did you and Kristen become friends, and if you did, was it awkward filming the love scenes together? Yeah, definitely we’re friends. Those things are really, really awkward. Especially because [in the movie] it’s supposed to be so intensely sexual and everything (laughs). You’re like really putting yourself on the line. It’s very embarrassing.
How did you prepare to do it? The big scene where they try and kiss and he goes crazy, it’s like the climax moment of their relationship. Well, not the climax, but it’s like a pivotal scene in the whole movie. And, actually, a lot of my preparation for the whole character was kind of leading up to that scene. Kristen was really into Bella being a sadomasochist. ...
Really?!?! Wait, not a sadomasochist! I mean a masochist (laughs). She was into that whole thing. She’d say, “Yeah, Bella just likes being hurt” (laughs). “Be really rough!”
Some of the “TwilightMOMS” have told me they’re trying to get you a gig as host of “Saturday Night Live.” They want to know if that’s something you’d be game to do. It would be quite nerve-racking! No, that would be fun! But, um, I’m not very funny, I don’t know if that would work out. No, that would be cool, that would be really cool.
What do you use in your hair that makes it stand no matter what you do to it? This kind of residue product from my youth (laughs). I don’t know, I guess just stressing out all the time, I’m just always grabbing my hair and stuff. It’s so funny how that’s become a thing, my stupid hair. I just need a haircut! I need a haircut and I don’t like hair being in my face. Now it’s like, 'It’s his signature style!' (laughs). I’m definitely going to cut it pretty soon though.
Is there an actor or musician whose career you’d like to emulate? Well, there are always periods in musicians’ careers. I would like Van Morrison’s between 1965 and 1988 (laughs). Before he did that thing with Cliff Richard.
Will you be recording any of your own music soon, beyond what you did for the “Twilight” soundtrack? I haven’t got any plans to. I mean, I might. But I have no plans to release anything.
What do you do to relax? I don’t really have to do anything specifically. I like looking out the window (laughs). I’m pretty relaxed most of the time.
Do you prefer playing the piano or guitar? It depends what mood I’m in. It’s an even balance. I haven’t played the piano in such a long time so whenever I play it now it’s like really therapeutic. I love playing the piano. I don’t have a piano anymore, annoyingly. I don’t have my apartment in London anymore. I don’t have anything.
What have you learned, if anything, about what girls want from having played Edward? Well…
How have you upped your game? (Laughs) Well, I always knew that girls liked six-packs (laughs), but that didn’t really make me change. Oh! Girls really like guys who drive Volvos. I would never have thought that!
What is your favorite kind of car? I’d like to have a vintage Porsche or the '70s Ferraris are beautiful as well.

Cam Gigandet’s GAP Ad Revealed Scope out this new ad featuring Twilight star Cam Gigandet. The 26-year-old actor is wearing the GAP argyle crewneck sweater. ($58, Bigger picture here.) MTV recently asked Cam, “You have a knack for getting shirtless in nearly every movie you do — is that your doing?” He answered, “No! [Laughs.] It’s definitely the other way around. In the movies Never Back Down and Twilight it happened — in Twilight, I’m practically naked throughout the entire movie — and for Never Back Down they asked me, and I prepared accordingly. But Twilight was just a decision that [director Catherine Hardwicke] made, and I just said, “Oh, s—, I should start working out.” [Laughs.] I never like to [take my shirt off], because I’m just as insecure as everyone else in the world. But you’ve just gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.” Twilight opens in theaters everywhere on Friday, November 21. Source: JJ

Exclusive Interview: Kristen Stewart for "Twilight"
Beautiful, confident and intelligent eighteen-year old Kristen Stewart doesn’t suffer fools gladly. One who refuses to play the game, she has always been drawn to smaller films that impassion her.
"Twilight", the hugely successful literary franchise, is a bigger movie for the actress, but playing the role of the isolated Bella who falls for a brooding vampire, was a role too irresistible. This confident and always outspoken actress talked to Paul Fischer in this exclusive interview.
Question: This is an unusual thing for you to take on, because you have been doing – you tend to take a lot of small films. This was something that spoke to you because of the identification you had with this character, would you say?
Stewart: It wasn’t so much the character. She’s not a very distinct – there aren’t many qualities about her that differ from mine. I mean, you really project yourself onto her when you read the book, because you experience the whole story through her eyes. I mean, you feel like you are her eyes. I think what it was for me, was that I read a synopsis of the story before I read the script or the book, and it was something that everybody was freaking out over. Like, “Everybody wants this role. Kristen, you have to read this."
I was like “I don’t want to be a part of something that presents a completely ideological idea of love to young girls, and puts their female heroine in a position" - and this was just after reading the synopsis – “in a position that is just subject to, like, this man that is all-powerful and all-holy, smart, confident, and she’s just happy with that.” It was very shallow. It was really vain. When you try to sum up this movie in a couple sentences, it sounds trite and superficial.
Then I read the script, and it was just the opposite of that. And the power balance between these two characters – I mean, apart from just wanting to portray such an epic love story, which I thought was ambitious – and such a dire love story. I like that idea. It was that she wears the pants in this relationship. I mean, you know, you have this guy who is 108 years old, and he hates himself. And he’s afraid of himself. And he’s afraid of her, and he’s afraid of his whole situation. And he’s just neurotic as all hell.
Then you have this girl who is totally naïve to the entire situation. Yet she’s willing to submerse herself wholeheartedly, because she trusts herself. And I think a lot of people are like, “Oh, see? Well, that’s weak. That’s a weak character.” No! She wants it. It’s something that she’s willing to overcome. So – and my favorite thing about Bella is, she trusts herself. She puts a lot of stock in her feelings. I admire that.
Question: What are the pitfalls to taking on something that has such high expectations from a core audience, do you think?
Stewart: Questions like this, you know? Having to answer that question over and over and over. And it’s not just the redundancy of it that bothers me. It’s just like – I never have an answer. And so I feel like I’m scrambling to just think of some arbitrary answer, and you don’t have one. I have a responsibility to this character and the story first and foremost. And a responsibility to myself.
When I made the movie, I had no idea about all these fans’ expectations. And then all of a sudden they were shoved on me. Like, toward the end of filming I realized, “Wow. This is really”—I mean, you can go on-line and read all of it. But there’s something – I never believe blogs. They might as well be the same person writing over and over. You don’t know, really, how many people – but I care about the book just as much as they do.
Question: You’ve signed on for all three, right?
Stewart: Yes. If they make them, absolutely.
Question: When I first met you, you were fairly book-immersed. In fact, I remember you were reading – I think it was Moby dick or something at the time. Some mammoth novel. Are you still as voracious a reader as you were?
Stewart: More so. I read more than I used to. Yeah.
Question: Do you try to continue your education as much as possible outside of your formal schooling?
Stewart: Well, I had classes, independent study, that were college prep classes. They were getting – they were putting me in the right position to have all my options open. Literally, of any school I wanted to go to. And I found myself feeling guilty every time I picked up a book that wasn’t for school. Or, like, I couldn’t ever sit down and write anything, because it was like – “You should be doing school.” I had such an enormous workload, that I hated it. And it didn’t make me happy. I found myself so stressed out, and just unhappy. And not really – I mean, I really loved home school. I really got a lot from it. But I got a lot from it once I dropped the structured courses. And I haven’t talked to you since I did that. I took up a very subjective course outline, or whatever and I get to sort of choose what I do. I don’t need the piece of paper – I don’t need the satisfaction of saying to people in interviews that I went to some snooty school. I mean, I have a future in academics - it’s just not a conventional one.
Question: What do you want to do, academically? I mean, what is your ambition, academically, if you have any?
Stewart: Not to accomplish anything. Like, not to produce anything, necessarily. But just to – every time I leave the country, I feel like an absolutely – just an ignoramus. But I don’t know a whole lot and I would really like more knowledge. But. What is in my future academically? I might work up the nerve to go back to school. But I don’t think I will – I mean, I don’t know. I’m a bit of an – I guess autodidact’s the word. I can sit in on classes. I just never want to be enrolled in a school. I can go crash courses.
Question: You’re a very unconventional person. I guess you always had that about you. The scribbling poetry, which I had a glimpse of when I first met you, is that a remaining closeted ideal? Or do you think you will develop skills as a writer, do you want to work on your writing?
Stewart: I do want to work on writing, because – like, when I feel like acting is just living – I mean, really, nobody else can be a human better than anybody else. It’s really an entirely subjective, rooted in emotion, just feeling spontaneous, impulsive thing. Writing’s a skill. Writing is something that you can train yourself to know better. To know yourself better. And it’s intimidating as hell. I mean, I definitely will always do what I’ve been doing. I’ve also started taking a lot of pictures, and they help the writing. The pictures help the writing. I mean, I want to make books. I want to take pictures and then write all over the pictures. And then I don’t have to say a complete story, because I have the picture, and I have just a word.
Question: What kinds of pictures?
Stewart: Nothing specific. Just like – you know.
Question: Random?
Stewart: Yeah. Completely random.
Question: What are you doing next professionally?
Stewart: I go back to New Orleans on Monday to do two more days of work on a movie called "Welcome to the Rileys", with James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo from "Frozen River" and she’s really amazing. Breathtaking. I play a runaway street kid. A child. A broken little kid. Like, just a broken toy.
James Gandolfini comes and sort of tries to pick up the pieces, and realizes that she needs to do it herself and shows her that she has the capacity to be more than just this sort of little icebox that she’s turned into. I mean, she’s the sweetest kid ever. But kids that have been abused in the way that she has, and that have lived on their own for so long – they don’t think that they can be a normal person again. They just are, like, above it now. It’s like, “Oh, I can’t go back there," but they can.
So she sort of reawakens him. He’s in a real rut and he’s getting over the loss of his daughter. He’s grieving, and he’s been grieving for eight years. His wife is entirely agoraphobic and crazy, and she – it’s like, the dynamic – have you seen "The Jungle Book:? It’s like Mowgli and Baloo. It’s like, this big, heavy, weighted-down man, and this light little thing just buzzing around him. And gets – in the movie, I feel like whenever we’re in a scene together, I could give him a piggyback ride. He just really lightens up.
Question: Sounds cool.
Stewart: Yeah. It’s really good.
Question: Next?
Stewart: Hopefully a movie called "K11". Not hopefully, actually. We’re supposed to go in January. My mom’s directing this movie that she wrote.

Yeah, it is! Who does he play anyway, I can't reconise him... He plays James, he does look really different in the movie, probably because in real life he's tanned and has got brown hair etc, but in the movie he has long blond hair, is very pale and has red eyes lol It might be a good thing for him that he's hard to recognize..

Twilight's Fang-tastic Villain: 'I Love Pain'Talk about having a high tolerance for pain. Twilight star Cam Gigandet was enjoying a waterskiing vacation with his family last summer when he crashed into a buoy. Injured, he continued to ski, "so my parents wouldn’t freak out," he tells the new issue of “Men’s. He even drove 18 hours back to L.A. before doctors told him he had a cracked fibula. Ouch! But, just like his villainous vampire character James in the upcoming movie (which opens Nov. 21), Gigandet, 26, is used to pushing through the pain – from tough workouts to career bumps. "I love pain," Gigandet says. Getting fired from the soap opera The Young and the Restless earlier in his career stung in a different way. "To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarrassing confidence basher in the world. It’s like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I’m not good enough for anything," says Gigandet. But Gigandet, who later appeared on The O.C., didn’t let his firing get him down. “You learn that none of that stuff matters,” he says. “You keep pushing forward.” Source: People

Robert Pattinson is One Hot TopicRobert Pattinson catches a striped scarf thrown to him by a fan amongst the big audience at the Hot Topic store at the Orland Square Mall on Wednesday in Orland Park, Ill. The 22-year-old Twilight star recently sat down with E! Online and dished on the upcoming film and what exactly he thought was weird about it all. “Sometimes you feel uncomfortable reading this thing [the book] and I think a lot of people would feel that it is…and in the same way it’s kind of voyeuristic. It’s kind of like a sick pleasure…It’s really honest, really, really honest and that’s kind of what’s weird about it.” Source: JJ Jr.

Kristen, 18, recently sat down with MSNBC and dished about the book series that has everyone talking. “(I) lived with the first book. For like three months or however long that was, and I haven’t been able to move on.” She says of co-star and on-screen love Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen, “He was so different from everybody else that came in (to audition). He’s very responsive, he sees and he listens. And that’s very important, that you’re not acting in a scene by yourself.” Source: JJ Jr.
