Breaking Dawn Source: Sexy Stuff is "Dead On"


The Twilight gang has taken over Baton Rouge, with Breaking Dawn filming set to start in about two weeks. And while Marc Malkin has told you all how "intense" that birthing scene is going to be, we're dying to know about the sex stuff!

Aren't you?

One of our New Orleans sources got their hands on the script, since the cast is in preproduction. So naturally we needed to know if that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, er, Edward and Bella, sex scene is going to be all that hot:

"It's dead on with the book," our source says of Melissa Rosenberg's script. "In fact, there is a little more sex in the movie, and more sexual dialogue. The script is actually good. Really good."

Too deelish! If you need a refresher, Rob and Kristen's characters finally get it on during their honeymoon, and it's pretty rough (for lack of a classier word).

"The script has a pretty sexual tone with a lot of the characters this time around, not just Edward and Bella."

Do tell!

"There is obviously a big emotional factor in how it's written," emphasizes our source. "Still—a lot of this will be left up to Bill Condon to decide how to portray it."

Now that, Twi-hards, is a great thing. Take Gods and Monsters—that is an incredibly sexual film without seeing too much. And apparently we will see something in Breaking Dawn!

We have a feeling Condon will keep the sex scenes (he better!) and make it even more hot on the big screen.

"Remember, the most important thing above everything else is the rating," 'fesses our insider. "We have to keep that in mind. It's essential."

Melissa Rosenberg has told us she thinks Breaking Dawn can get "awfully sexy" with a PG-13 rating, and we'll take what we can get.

So does this get your blood pumpin' for the final Twilight films? It certainly does us, we can assure you.

MTV's 'The Buried Life' tells how they got a lock of Rob's hair




First they asked out Taylor Swift, and now the cast of MTV's The Buried Life has their sights set on another A-lister.

On Monday's all-new episode, cast members Dave Lingwood, Ben Nemtin and Duncan and Jonnie Penn 
accept a dare from their fans to steal a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair. "It seemed like the most impossible thing to do from the list our fans sent," says Jonnie Penn. Now able to cross another item off their list of things to do before they die, Jonnie dishes to UsMagazine.com on the group's R-Pattz game plan.

UsMagazine.com: Way to be the envy of women everywhere now that you've bonded with one of the world's hottest vampires! How did this whole plan come together?

Jonnie Penn: The item we wanted to cross off our list was No. 48: accept a dare. This season on the show, we wanted to do things that were really difficult and we asked the audience to challenge us to do something we didn't want to do. Stealing a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair seemed like the most impossible from the list our fans sent us on Facebook. Someone wrote in asking if we'd steal Mike Tyson's tiger from The Hangover, which sounded also very difficult, but could also be deadly, so we decided not to do that one.

Us: Were you a Twi-hard when you began this task?

JP: I was as familiar with him as the next person, but we had to do research online and on Twitter beforehand.

Us: You didn't have R-Pattz posters on your bedroom walls?

JP: No. But now I do! [Laughs]

Us: Dave and Duncan joined you on this task, which involved a movie premiere, an after-party and a tiny pair of scissors. Who was the one who actually yanked out his hair?

JP: Honestly, it wasn't a tackle and take down. We told Rob we were dared to steal a lock of his hair and asked if he'd do it. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he ultimately said yes. We explained that it wasn't something necessarily that we were asking him for, but we told him the truth that we were put up to it. I guess he considered it and figured one little hair wouldn't hurt. He played along, which I commend him for. We chatted a little bit -- he was with two friends.

Us: Do you know if Rob watches The Buried Life?

JP: I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets asked about this. That would be cool if he watches. We could use a vampire on The Buried Life!

Us: So, do you prefer Rob bearded or clean-shaven?

JP: Well, No. 15 on our list [of 100 things to do before we die] is grow a moustache, so anybody who can cross that off before me I commend!

Us: So where did the hair end up? On eBay?

JP: We talked about exploding it out of a cannon, and Duncan joked about putting it under his pillowcase so he could sleep at night. We also considered using it to grow another Robert Pattinson, but none of those ideas panned out. I feel like we did the right thing with the hair in the end, which you'll see on Monday's show.

Us: While you were vampire hunting in L.A., Ben traveled to Rochester, Minn. to visit with Lexie, who wanted help crossing an item off her own life list.

JP: It's a cool opportunity to become friends with someone that lives across the country just by sharing a common experience and Ben and Lexie really hit it off. Lexie's list item was to make it OK to talk about depression, which is a pretty big goal. We thought that maybe we couldn't solve the whole thing in one fell swoop, but wanted to try. She emailed us and we contacted her from there. The big saving grace in helping Lexie was the charity To Write Love on Her Arms. We're big fans of them for sure. They helped Ben put on this event and made Lexie feel like she wasn't alone in this goal. It takes a lot of courage to be that one person to speak up.

Us: I hear you had a special guest at the event.Us: You got the real thing anyway!

RP: The challenge was to get the biggest celebrity in the world and get a piece of his hair and we managed to do it in a way that anyone could do. So this is your step-by-step guide to meet Robert Pattinson!
Find out what happened when the guys cornered Rob to steal his locks -- and what they did with the famous strands -- when The Buried Life airs Monday at 10:30 p.m. (EST) on MTV.

Who Should Be the Next Jason Bourne?

Production is rapidly forging ahead on the upcoming fourth entry in the popular “Bourne” franchise, directed by Tony Gilroy.
Here’s what we know: the movie, slated to come out in 2012, is called “The Bourne Legacy” and will further explore the series mythology by introducing a new bad guy assassin who is tangled up with the mysterious government agency Treadstone. And Matt Damon won’t be starring in it.
And because Damon won’t be there, ”Bourne Legacy” won’t have Bourne in it at all. Instead, it’ll feature an all-new superspy as the main character living in his world. This got us to thinking — who in Hollywood has the stones to step into Damon’s iconic shoes?
The possibilities are pretty much endless — Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Alex O’Laughlin? Seth Rogen? — but we’ve managed to narrow it down to a few worthy finalists.  Here, then, are our top picks for the role of America’s top secret agent:


Robert Pattinson
Let’s think: what does the star of a “Bourne” movie need to do? He needs to be able to pull off action sequences; he needs to be able to do some deep brooding; and he needs to do both while looking good. A brooding, good looking action star? That’s what Pattinson’s business cards say, people. Could there be a more perfect fit for the part than RPattz? We didn’t think so either.

Robert Pattinson in line for an Oscar?


Water for Elephants has yet to hit our screens, but already Academy Award buzz is surrounding the new flick, with smouldering star Robert Pattinson being tipped for an Oscar for his role.
R-Patz – who has recently finished filming the hotly anticipated movie – stars as Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student who drops out of college to work as a vet for a travelling circus.
In the film he falls for a circus performer played by Reese Witherspoon, and tries to defend her from her abusive, animal trainer husband.
His co-star Christoph Waltz – who picked up a Best Supporting Role Oscar for his part Inglourious Basterds earlier this year – has praised the star, tipping him to receive the prestigious Oscar prize next year.
‘It's in my house,’ Christoph said when questioned on his gong, ‘but the way things are looking, I might have to hand it off to Rob next year!” 
And Christoph's not Rob's only famous follower. Water For Elepants Author Sarah Gruen has already revealed she’s Mr Pattinson's number one fan,after watching the star in action on set. 
'I think Robert Pattinson is really going to shine in that role. He’s so dedicated,' she said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News.
‘This was a rough-and-tumble shoot, and when I was there on the set, he’d be lying in the dirt for 18 straight takes in a row, and he would nail every single one.

Kristen Stewart: 'Twilight' star keeps indie cred


Kristen Stewart's been living a double life. By twilight, she stars as Bella Swan in the red-hot vampire franchise (the first two, "Twilight" and "New Moon," have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, and "Eclipse" earned nearly $300 million domestic).


But while these global blockbusters have supercharged her career, the 20-year-old actress has also been moonlighting in such edgy indie films as "Welcome to the Rileys" (as a strung out New Orleans stripper) and "The Runaways" (where she portrayed hard-living '70s rocker Joan Jett). Both premiered at Sundance and further cemented her reputation as that Hollywood rarity, a beautiful actress more interested in substance than glamour, and with the acting chops to back it up.

The L.A. native has showbiz in her DNA -- her father's a TV producer, her Aussie mom a script supervisor -- and was discovered by a talent scout at a school Christmas play. After some small TV roles, she appeared in "The Safety of Objects" and then got her big break playing Jodie Foster's daughter in the David Fincher-directed 2002 thriller "Panic Room," mixing it up with provocative dramatic roles along the way, including a memorable turn as an underage, desert commune-dwelling seductress in Sean Penn's "Into the Wild."

Despite her new career trajectory, Stewart shows no sign of wanting to leave her indie cred in the dust. She just wrapped production on "On the Road," an adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel directed by Walter Salles that shot in Argentina, and will play a male-to-female transsexual in "K-11," a prison drama co-written by her mother, who will also direct.

Warm Welcoming



(NEW YORK) Kristen Stewart and James Gandolfini, both fueled by mega pop culture phenomenons like Twilight and The Sopranos, drew quite a crowd Monday night during the Cinema Society and Everlon Diamond Knot Collection screening of Welcome to the Rileys. Guests likeChristina HendricksGerard Butler and Danny DeVito stepped out to see the film, which tells the tale of a young, wayward teenager (Stewart) who creates a bond with the Rileys (Gandolfini and Melissa Leo). Stewart admitted she shares a sense of humor with her character but is more demure.  “I’m not as vulgar as she is.” She paused and continued, “I do curse, just not nearly as badly.”
In addition to having a penchant for cussing, Stewart’s character works as a stripper. “I actually went to a strip club for the very first time,” said the actress on her preparation for the role. Sporting dark locks for the Twilightfranchise, Stewart confessed she’s been going non-stop. “I was literally working on Breaking Dawn this weekend, and I haven’t had time off in a while. But you know, it really doesn’t bother me. I’m kind of boring. If I did have time to myself, I would probably just do nothing.”
“You have to be into the whole Twilight series, right?” asked James Woods, as he nodded towards his girlfriend, Ashley Madison, who quickly corroborated. “I’m 24 and so all my friends and I have read the books. Couldn’t put them down!” Meanwhile, Hendricks, arm-in-arm with husband Geoffrey Arend, confessed, “This whole experience is new for me, I’m excited!” Director Jake Scott revealed, “There were some pretty nasty things that happened during filming, because it was in a really rough part of New Orleans…But Jim [Gandolfini] lightened the mood on set, because he likes to make animal noises. Like a screaming donkey or something,” he said and demonstrated. “I really don’t know what animal, but he would do all these weird noises after a take and we’d all be like, what is he doing?”
Post-screening, guests dried their eyes and headed over to the new Club Room at the Soho Grand Hotel, unwinding with a bit of DeLeon tequila. Meanwhile, Stewart slipped out of her Valentino frock and into something more comfortable—jeans and a knit beanie. With the 31st looming near, Woods shared a memorable Halloween snafu. "One time I was on the Tonight Show back when it was Johnny Carson. It was one of the first times I had been on a show like that, and I just wore a plain suit not realizing it was the special Halloween episode. Johnny asked, ‘What kind of costume is this?’ And I said, ‘I’m going as a republican.’”

The Real Story Behind Kristen Stewart and ‘An American Girl’


Kristen Stewart has a movie hitting theaters (Welcome to the Rileys) and a blockbuster set to start shooting (Breaking Dawn), but it’s a rumored film on the horizon that has outlets buzzing.

A number of sites have picked up on an interview James Woods gave to MTV, in which the actor-director praises Stewart’s talent and mentions her commitment to An American Girl, which he plans to direct.

“We’re just about ready to go now in the spring,” says Woods of the project, which follows a young woman who joins the Marines following sexual humiliation.

We knew An American Girl was in the works with the Twilight star involved, but this was the first time a production timetable had been suggested.

So is Stewart actually set to start the movie in early 2011?

Nope.

Sources tell Gossip Cop that Stewart’s camp is “hoping that’s the next film” she does, though there are still a lot of things that need to fall into place before a production of that size can begin.

As of now, though, we’re told there is no start date.


If and when the project moves forward, Gossip Cop will have an update.

Kristen Stewart: Motherhood confounds me



In the upcoming "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," Kristen Stewart's character, Bella Swan, becomes a mother. But that's a reality the actress says she has a hard time comprehending.
"My best friend just had a baby. She's my age. So I'm a godmom now, which is ... crazy," said the 20-year-old during an interview to promote her upcoming film "Welcome to the Rileys."
Asked if the experience was helping her tap into her own maternal instincts, she replied: "It's actually making me realize more that I have absolutely no idea. Like, I see that going on, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God.' "
Though "Breaking Dawn," the fourth installment in the “Twilight” franchise, doesn’t begin production for a few weeks, Stewart says she's already been caught up with preparations for the film. She's had a number of meetings with director Bill Condon and has even temporarily eliminated some favorites from her diet.
“I want a cheeseburger so badly, but, you know, I have to be a vampire in a few weeks,” she said over lunch at a restaurant in Topanga, where she settled for a veggie burger.
Ironically, she won't even be able to show off her figure for the majority of "Breaking Dawn."
“I’m incredibly pregnant in the first movie,” Stewart said, adding that she has spent the last couple of weeks trying on prosthetic bellies. “I’ve worn it. It’s ... crazy. I’ve done fittings. It gets immense. It gets so massive at some point that it actually looks inhuman. Like it’s hurting her. There are striations of bruises.”

Fan encounter & pictures of Kristen on Regis & Kelly


Fan Account

"Two friends of mine, Jennifer and Sarah, and I just had the most fabulous 2 1/2 days of our lives! We started off staying in the hotel where the junket for WTTR was held and ended with Regis and Kelly. I have a super great story to share, and more videos and pictures to come. For now, because I wanted to be able to get something out to you guys asap, here are some photos of Kristen at R&K when the commercials were rolling or the clip was airing (not seen on TV!).

Kristen looked gorgeous as always. You’ll notice in one of the photos, she’s covering her eyes while the clip was being shown. She really doesn’t like watching herself on the screen and I don’t blame her! When the cameras weren’t rolling, she was pretty shy, not really looking out into the crowd, sometimes chatting with Kelly. It was so great to see her, though. And, in case anyone was wondering, if you watch the segment on YouTube, about 30 seconds in, some girls scream “We love you, Kristen!” Yeah, that would be me and my friends!"

Kristen Stewart To Shoot 'American Girl' Next Year, James Woods Says



Kristen Stewart took on the role of a damaged prostitute in "Welcome to the Rileys" before the "Twilight" series debuted and launched her into superstardom. That film is about to hit theaters, and now another film she first circled during her pre-Bella Swan days looks like it will soon be shifting in production.

On the "Rileys" red carpet Monday, James Woods told us that "An American Girl," in which Stewart is set to star, is gearing up to shoot in 2011. "She's been committed to it for two years now, and we're just about ready to go now in the spring," he told MTV News.

Woods is directing the film, based on a script by Tom Metcalfe ("The Haunting in Connecticut"). The film follows a high school grad who's unknowingly recorded having sex and who joins the Marines to escape the humiliation.

Though Stewart had not yet become a breakout star in Hollywood at the time, Woods said he eyed her for the role based on advice from Sean Penn and Dennis Quaid, both of whom had worked with her on previous films. Woods' casting director tried to talk him into casting another actress, but he was adamant. "She's the one I want. She's it," he recalled telling the casting director.

"Her insight into the script was so perceptive and prescient as it turns out that I was overwhelmed with what a true professional and what a true artist she was, beyond her talent," he explained. "She's got a real brain for script analysis. She's just been totally devoted throughout all this fame. It's never dented her at all. She's been terrific from day one up until this very minute."

Despite that fame that has enveloped her since "Twilight" hit theaters in late 2008 — and despite all the roles that have come her way — Stewart remained committed to "American Girl." Woods, for one, expected nothing less from the young actress.

"She has been steadfast and true in her commitment, which did not surprise me, because when I started working with her on the script," he said, "she was so insightful."

Kristen Stewart's 'Rileys' Director Compares Her To Meryl Streep


NEW YORK — "Welcome to the Rileys" director Jake Scott has used phrases like "emotionally naked" and "got dirty" to describe Kristen Stewart's performance in the film. The 20-year-old actress plays a broken young woman thrust into a life of stripping in a seedy club and selling her body in fetid motel rooms.

At the film's red-carpet premiere in Tribeca on Monday night, Scott continued to hit on those same themes of unvarnished emotionality, comparing KStew to one of the most critically lauded and emotionally expressive actresses in Hollywood.

"That's like Meryl Streep stuff, you know?" he told MTV News.

He was speaking specifically about how Stewart took on such a demanding role at such a young age — and how she delivered such a top-notch performance. "I know that she put a lot of herself into that role," he said. "She was exposing herself emotionally. In order to do that, you have to put yourself there. It was an act of courage on her part, especially considering she was only 18."

Stewart's co-star, Melissa Leo, agreed, telling us how she and James Gandolfini watched in awe as KStew blossomed on the "Rileys" set. "I met Kristen at a very special time," she said. "She had just done 'Twilight.' She had been acting for a while. She has always carefully chosen her roles. Playing the character, she was acting for the first time as an emancipated actor. It was a treat for James and I to watch her spread her wings."

That's exactly what Scott was watching on the red carpet Monday, as Stewart strode confidently from interview to interview. "She's grown up," he said. "She's a woman now. She was a girl when I first met her. I've now known her probably three years. She's just becoming this wonderful woman."

New Welcome to the Rileys Clips


Kristen Stewart talks about playing a teen stripper in 'Welcome to the Rileys'

Rob and Kristen on Moviefone's 25 Under 25 Hollywood's Hottest Young Stars

They're young, they're talented, they're incredibly wealthy ... and they aren't old enough to rent a car at the regular rate.

Welcome to Moviefone's annual 25 Under 25 list, naming the hottest, most successful, most promising young stars in Hollywood today.


Robert Pattinson

Age: 24

What He's Done: Nothing really, unless you ask his rabid, undying worldwide audience of fans who would walk across hot coals to see him play vampire Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight' saga. Before that, he was known as Cedric Diggory from the 'Harry Potter' franchise. He has also tried his hand at more artsy endeavors, playing Salvador Dali in 2008's 'Little Ashes' and a melancholic lover in 2010's 'Remember Me.'

What's Next: Of course, the final 'Twilight' movies ('Breaking Dawn,' which has been divided into two films) are slated for release in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, he's also set to play a womanizing Parisian in 'Bel Ami,' and a veterinary student who runs away with the circus in 'Water for Elephants.'

Did You Know?: Pattinson fans know everything about him, so this isn't revelatory, but Pattinson is a distant relative of Vlad the Impaler, upon whom Bram Stoker's Dracula character was based.

Kristen Stewart

Age: 20

What She's Done: Made a splash at age 12 alongside Jodie Foster in 'Panic Room,' became the envy of many a teenage (and adult) girl by playing Bella in 'The Twilight Saga,' which means she gets PAID to kiss Robert Pattinson. Also played Joan Jett in the rock biopic 'The Runaways.'

What's Next: She's starring in the indie drama 'Welcome to the Rileys' as a troubled stripper (is there any other kind?), as well as the long-awaited adaptation of Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road.' Oh, and she's got two little movies called 'Breaking Dawn' coming out.

Did You Know?: Her parents are both in the film industry. Her mother, a script supervisor, is Australian; her father, a producer and stage manager, is John Stewart. No, not that Jon Stewart.
