Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart In World's Grainiest Kiss

So the blogosphere is a-twitter that Bella and Edward . . . I mean, Rob and Kristen . . . have finally been caught kissing in public.  While not accepting an award.  Sadly, rather than being a full on "Yes we suck face deal with it Twilight fans" kind of screw you to the Robsten haters, these are the world's grainiest make-out photos.  Not that I'm necessarily more voyeuristic than the next girl . . it's just if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em is my general motto on celebrity romance with hot men.

Thanks to Celebuzz for the photo (obviously)

Maybe now they'll be able to be a little more public?  Who knows!

Robert Pattinson FINALLY Gets His Kiss At The 2010 MTV Movie Awards

Amid all of Twilight's nominations and wins at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, I was pleased to see that Rob Pattinson finally got his awards show kiss from Kristen Stewart.  As Twi-hards will remember, at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Kristen and Rob's Twilight kiss was also nominated for best kiss, but they faked out the crowd.

This year, no faking.  However, already the Internet is abuzz and a-Twitter that the kiss was unscripted and that Kristen did not approve.  To me, it doesn't exactly look like she was resisting, given that her arm is around Rob Pattinson's neck instead of punching him in the gut.  So it will be interesting to see how this gets spun by the major gossip hounds over the next few days . . . but it was sure a fun moment for the crowd!

One Year Since The Twilight Revolution

This Memorial Day weekend, while others pondered much more serious fare, I pondered that it was the year anniversary of my discovery of the Twilight Saga.

Hello, Old Friends

 

My, what a year it has been!

If you had told me before I picked up the books that I would read them all in 24 hours, I would not have believed you. If you had told me that a year later I would have written nearly 200 blog posts and nearly 50,000 words of Twilight fan fiction, I would have laughed my ass off.

Yeah, well, shut up. I'm guilty as charged on all counts.

Looking back on the year, these are a few of the things that stand out to me:

Taylor Lautner Has Gotten Hotter

In the beginning, there was Sharkboy with the long hair. Not attractive. Nothing doing. Then it turned out that he really, really wanted to be Jacob Black again for New Moon. The baby fat disappeared as the muscles sprang out and damn! Would you look at that?

I would. MMMMmmmm. And he's 18 now.

I Don't Really Care About The Other Movies

I am aware that members of the Twilight clan have made other movies, and that many more movies are in the works.  Unfortunately, I'm not all that interested in those movies.  The Runaways doesn't grip me, and even though it will be out on DVD July 20th, and the only reason I'm interested in Water For Elephants is because I read the book and loved it.  I think Reese Witherspoon will be awful in it, and thus it's hard to get all worked up for the movie, Robert Pattinson or no Robert Pattinson.  Clearly, loving the other Twilight related works is going to be a work in progress kind of thing.

There Can Be Only One Victoria

 

 

 

When Summit announced that Rachelle Lefevre was kicked out of Twilight, I had one of those moments I never thought would ever, ever happen to me.

 

I had a fan girl hissy fit.  

 

I still am not over this.  It's making me not want to see Eclipse because every time I see that god-awful Bryce Dallas Howard in the Eclipse trailer every fiber of my being screams out WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

 

Do not want does not even begin to cover this.  Actor substitutions are only marginally acceptable in sequels anyway, and definitely not when they involve subbing out a character who is kick ass awesome in favor of some suck ass who is going to mess the whole thing up.

Stomp, stomp, fume, pout.  I will be a spoiled little fan girl about this.  Damn you, Summit monsters, damn you all to hell.

No Being Mean To Alice

 

 

If you had asked me a year ago who Ashley Greene even was, I would have looked at you blankly.  Now, not only can I tell you way, way more about her than you ever wanted to know, I insist that no one be mean to my Alice.  I also routinely complain about the way they dress her character, and have developed a sadly detailed memory for who wore what when on the red carpets as a result.  I did not care about any of this nonsense a year ago, and now I tremble in my boots that they will kick her out of the Breaking Dawn movie.  Sigh.

Fan Fiction Rocks

 

I have become a perpetual pimper of my own fan fiction, Distilling Down, as an extension of my love for a source of stories I didn't even know existed until I tripped over Twilight.  If the me I was before Twilight knew what the Twi-hard I am now read for fun, I would be mocked.  Mercilessly.  And yet here we are, with the story posted in three communities and hopelessly addicted to it all.  Hours of my life disappear into fan fic that were formerly spent reading *real* books and I am . . . 

. . . 100% okay with that.  Suck it, real books.

All in all, it has been a good and rewarding year since I found Twilight . . . and I am curious to see what the next year brings!

New Moon Hit By Razzie Nominations

I know I've been blog fail for a bit now, as Ecuador is a great vacation spot with crap for Internet bandwidth. We're working on it.

I did manage to sneak in some unauthorized Internet usage today and discovered that New Moon had been nominated for multiple Razzie Awards. Razzies are pretty much the anti-honor, given to the "worst of" categorizations. While the Twilight cast thankfully didn't sweep the nominations, there were still a few nods in there to our team.

The Twilight Trifecta got nominated for Worst Screen Couple of 2009. In some recognition of the love triangle in New Moon, the three of them were nominated in dual pairs, as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

Independently, Rob Pattinson earned a Razzie nod for his New Moon portrayal of Edward in the Worst Supporting Actor of 2009 category, and Melissa Rosenburg earned a nomination for Worst Screenplay. I think Twifans will second that, and I also blame Melissa Rosenburg's screenplay for the nomination that the Twilight Saga: New Moon received in the Worst Remake, Sequel, or Rip-Off category.

For a full list of the Razzie nominees, you can hit the Razzies homepage, and we'll just have to stay tuned March 6, 2010 to see if the Twilight crew ends up being a "winner" of any of the Razzie Awards.

Rob Pattinson's Hope For Haiti Appeal

I missed it live last night, but here it is online, complete with the donation information below. There's some other Twi-news today, but we'll just focus on helping others for a while, m'kay?

To donate to Hope for Haiti Now, you have a number of choices. Hope for Haiti is online at HopeForHaitiNow.org or you can go mobile and call (877) 99-HAITI or text “GIVE” to 50555. Snail mailers can write to Hope for Haiti Now Fund, Entertainment Industry Foundation, 1201 West 5th Street, Suite T-700, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

Twilight + Haiti = Good Things

Rumors swirled for days, but it has now been confirmed that Robert Pattinson will participate in the telethon for Haiti. Currently, he's the only confirmed presenter for the London site, which means the fandom's favorite recluse will be the star of the show.

Kristen will be at Sundance. Taylor Swift is performing (she's Twilight by association, okay?), but no word on some of the others.

Robert Pattinson's Lipstick Mystery Solved

A long running pet peeve of mine has been the lipstick on Edward's character in both Twilight and New Moon. When I watch the movie, I think "Who thought that would be a good idea?"

Mystery Solved

Norma Hill-Patton. Congratulations. While I envy you the unfettered access you have to Rob Pattinson's lips, I could just smack you for what you put on them. It looks neither right nor natural.

Kellan Lutz In February Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan magazine has declared 2010 the "Year of the Vampire" and are featuring vampires in their February edition. You'd think Robert Pattinson would get the vamp champ starring feature, but instead it went to Kellan Lutz. I'll take that.

New Moon Premier Outfits: Winners

It's red carpet time people, which means it is also time for breaking down the outfits that were. This post is dedicated to all those Twi-cast members who were able to correctly work out what to wear to a premier where they will be photographed approximately a bazillion times. You could hear the cameras clicking away the whole time the red carpet feed was "streaming", which is Internet speak for buffering and teasing me until I give up. Fortunately, a picture is worth 1,000 pieces of buffering nonsense.

Without further ado, the winners on the New Moon premier red carpet:

Kristen Stewart

I may like some of the edgier looks from the New Moon movie promotional tour on her better, but there is no denying that Kristen Steward was representing Bella Swan with class here.

Taylor Lautner

Taylor certainly cleans up nicely!

Rob Pattinson

Basically, this one is here because Rob Pattinson in a suit on the red carpet = win.

Julia Jones

Yes, you play the mean girl. Fortunately, you still know how to look sweet on the red carpet. Not to showy, not limelight sucking away from the stars, and still full of class. Way to go!

Thank You, Chris Pizzello

Not only was my day brightened by my football team winning, but there are also these lovely new photos by Chris Pizzello of Robert Pattinson. Photographer Chris Pizzello is known for his celebrity portraits, and he also has a nice smile of his own. See Chris Pizzello's Lightstalker profile for proof.

The rest of his portfolio completely disregarded, I do think these show the signs of a nice body of work:

In other news, the mall tour has kicked off. It's painful to me. Hence why I am seeking solace in Chris Pizzello's work!

The Shoes Ruin This Photo of Rob Pattinson In Japan

So, I am totally fine with hopping on the publicity tour bandwagon as long as it's not straight Wolf Pack all the time. Thus, you know I was really looking forward to enjoying the photos of Rob Pattinson with New Moon director Chris Weitz in Japan.

Then, like a tractor beam on the Death Star, my eyes were drawn to the shoes. Can you spot the ones I'm talking about here?

Hint: These aren't men's shoes I'm obsessed with!

Ignoring a host of other things I'd love to comment about here with regards to the overall look, what the ever loving bejebus is on her feet?

Rob Pattinson Makes Me Need A Vanity Fair Subscription

Seriously! I would subscribe to this, just for the December issue of Vanity Fair, which features photos of Rob Pattinson done by photographer Bruce Weber. The photos go with a feature profile by Evgenia Peretz that talks Twilight, Kristen Stewart, and fame . . . and being Robert Pattinson, of course.

I'd subscribe for a piece of the hotness

The photoshoot outtakes are in a beautiful slide show on the Vanity Fair website, but here are a few of my favorites for your viewing pleasure.

Books I need to check out:



Where was this when they were making Poughkeepsie banners?



Why yes, I would like to borrow that cigarette:

And finally, before I just post the whole damn Vanity Fair Photoshoot of Rob Pattinson:

Yes, I want to be that sweater:

A Robert Pattinson Dress Up Game

Okay, see previous post about me needing distractions . . . and look what I found!

A game where you put clothes on and off a ripped Robert Pattinson? Why, yes, I'll hit that. I mean, play that. I will play with that. I mean . . . oh hell, you know what I mean. Grown woman, stressful day, near naked CGI quality images of Rob Pattinson.

Shown here with shirt so I could focus enough to finish the post.

Play a few rounds of the Robert Pattinson Makeover Game yourself. It's relaxing . . .promise!

What Rob Pattinson Really Thinks About Twitter

So, much to the utter joy of the Twilight fandom, Rob Pattinson appeared on Twitter, courtesy of his Twilight co-star and total Twitter whore, Peter Facinelli.

I think Pattinson was trying to be funny, in his own special British way. And it's what the fandom will have to accept, because I'm pretty sure I know what was going through Rob's mind when Peter Facinelli was all "Be on my Twitter, Bitch"

I mean really . . .a million followers? Congratulations are in order . . . I guess. That and what, exactly, will get you a beer, Peter?

Rob's Legs, In Super Hot Slo-Mo

Well, well, well . . .look what I found!

Seriously. I've accomplished nothing useful since tripping over this gif of Robert Pattinson's legs from Little Ashes. I do not feel the need to share with you how long I have stared at it, totally transfixed. I will only share that I have spent AGES trying (and failing) to figure out how to make it bigger.

Enjoy!

Monday Confessions

Happy Monday! I'm kicking off with confessions.

• I totally gave my friend vampire books for her birthday
• I then introduced her to Fan Fiction
• I'm in the processes of creating a monster who is as addicted as me
• I will be helping her move for the next couple of days so posting will be spotty

Can I just say how good it is to be around someone I can totally corrupt into vampire love? I love it! It's like every time I find someone who is not afraid to embrace their inner potential as a Twilight / Vampire addict I get SO EXCITED. Eventually, all of my real life friends will be onto my vampire crazy, but for now I am taking it one at a time.

In actual Twilight news:

• They shot some graduation scenes. Yawn. I'll confess right now . . .I'm waiting for the fight scenes. Fight, fight, fight! Screw pics of people standing around in graduation robes . . .I want people in full fight mode, vamps with their fangs out and the Wolf Pack all muscle-y. Little things, right?
• Some Twilight people went to dinner this weekend. Hey, the sushi industry in Vancouver can't support itself, right?
• Robert Pattinson, after 12 days of hiding out after being photographed "making out" with Kristen Stewart at a Kings of Leon concert, was finally seen on set as Edward Cullen.

It's Alive!

Robert Pattinson, Superhero?

With Remember Me in post-production and Little Ashes out on video, it had seemed for a while there that all Rob had on his plate was the Twilight Sage. As in, Summit has him by the balls for the foreseeable future, or at the very least until they decide if they are making 4 or 5 of these movies. I mean, there's lots of directors in Hollywood these days, let's everybody have a go!

However, now it seems that Rob's got another potential job offer up his sleeve, playing the part of a superhero.

YoungBlood? I've no idea, but it sounds hot!

Okay, the real details:

• They're still finalizing the script, but they want to ask Rob. There are a couple of parts he could play, including a teenager who can make himself into stone. You know, with his skin feeling "like cool marble" I think it might be a good fit. (My apologies to SMeyer).

• It's based on Rob Liefeld's graphic novel series Youngblood. Which is like being based on a book, only with much better pictures. Yes, that's me being sarcastic. It's LATE, cut me a break.

• Youngblood is about a team of superheros, meaning this thing could have multiple hotties in addition to Rob (WIN!).

• Reliance Big Entertainment / Paramount have the production rights. (Suck it, Summit!)
  

• The director would be Brett Ratner, best known for making X-Men: Last Stand and producing Prison Break.
  

• Little known irrelevant but amusing trivia about Brett Ratner: He has also shot 7 Mariah Carey music videos, and did Madonna's Beautiful Stranger video.
  

All in all . . .I think this might be a fun movie for Rob to do. Lots of action, limited amount of angst. There is also a role for a Russian supermodel slut, so if he's really that lonely, they could put Kristen in it and I think she could pull it off.

All joking aside . . .no, all joking continues! It's that kind of post, people, because it is way past my bedtime and delirious amusement is a good thing. For further amusement, if you've never read the superhero by superhero breakdown of Edward Cullen vs. pretty much everyone, including Darth Vader, you must drop everything (including anything you might laughingly spill on the computer) and read it now.

Touching Rob Pattinson Professionally

So, I had the most wonderful 2 hour massage today, which made me think of the Twilight boys.

Let me break that logic down for you:

1. My massage was an awesome reward for surviving a busy week.

2. Eclipse just started filming. Lots of busy weeks coming up here.

3. Massage therapists get to touch people for a living.

4. People doing vampire stunts probably ache after a long week.

5. People who have muscle aches are likely to engage the services of a masseuse.

6. The Eclipse team probably includes a group of professional masseurs.

7. Someone is making a living out of rubbing down Rob Pattinson after a long day.

8. Someone is making a living out of helping Taylor Lautner ease those poor overworked muscles of his.

9. Someone is making a living out of helping Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Xavier Samuel, and the Wolfpack with their "tension".

10. Someone's life is hella good.

11. I knew I should have dropped out of school and become a masseuse. Damn career counselors didn't know what could have been in my hands. For hours each day. After which someone would have handed me a fat paycheck. For touching the Twilight boys.

12. Damn, damn, damn!

13. Sigh. Tell me again why my parents wanted me to have a real career? Someone out there is getting paid to touch those hot ass actors, and I'm just relaxed enough not to be too jealous.

Rob Pattinson Smoking Humor

Many thanks to RoseArcadia over on the Twilighted forum threads for this funny rotation of Rob Pattinson smoking it up. Watch through to the end . . .I'm not even a smoker and it made me laugh out loud!

In other news, everyone and their dog is flying to Vancouver. Who's excited for filming to start? That would be me! I'm trying to figure a way to get up there and set stalk. I've never been a fan girl, but for some reason it just seems like it would be interesting. We'll see what the fall brings, I guess!

Happy Tuesday!
