Robert Pattinson Growing a Beard?

Robert Pattinson might really have some trouble getting a kiss from girlfriend Kristen Stewart. His new beard would make it an itchy experience for his “Twilight” co-star. So why is he growing it?




Rob was first spotted with his advancing growth in London last January as he made his way for his appearance on George Clooney’s Hope For Haiti telethon.



It was one of the few sightings of the elusive vampire star and surprised many of his fans with his short beard.



Some believed that Rob was getting into character for his frontier action film “Unbound Captives,” then in pre-production.



Rob was clean shaved when he shot the film “Bel Ami” in the spring and was back to his usual stubble when he made appearances during promotion for “Twilight” sequel “Eclipse.”



But Rob apparently liked the look. He’s had some down time since promotion for “Eclipse” ended and filming “Water for Elephants” wrapped, and apparently started working on the beard again.



After the “Teen Choice Awards” in LA, he was next spotted in Canada in early August. While visiting with Kristen and pal Tom Sturridge on the Montreal set of “On The Road” his stubble was heavier than usual and he clearly appeared to be going for a beard.



When he was spotted Aug. 29 making his way from Soho House to the Trousdale lounge in West Hollywood, his beard was in full bloom.

Twilight Cast not Attending VMA's?

Everyone is looking forward to seeing their favorite stars at this year's VMA awards, but for those Twilight fans, you will be disappointed.


Reports from E! Online have revealed that the three main stars of Twilight; Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner will not be in attendance this Sunday.

Why aren't they attending? Well it seems that the stars are not promoting any new films, Pattinson has been off on vacation and Stewart and Lautner and are busy working on other projects.

It is possible that other Twilight stars could attend the event, but there is no confirmation on that.

If you are in real need of a Twilight fix, Summit Entertainment is going to be celebrating Bella's birthday by re-releasing Eclipse in theaters

New Lights on Carlisle Cullen

It is reported by musicrooms that Peter Facinelli has said that he would love to have played Robert Pattinson’s role in the Twilight movies. Peter plays Carlisle Cullen, the adoptive father of brooding vampire Edward Cullen (played by Robert). The character of Edward Cullen in the Twilight series of movies has caught the fancy of female fans all over the world and now 36-year-old Peter – who is married to actress Jennie Garth – confesses it would have been fun to grab the lead role.




Peter finds the role of Edward interesting and complex and would have enjoyed trying to connect with him. However, Peter removes himself from the list of direct contenders of British actor. He says to the recent American edition OK! Magazine, “If I was maybe 10, 11 years younger – what is Rob like 24? – I’d like to play Edward.”



He says in that interview: “But the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree so it’s pretty cool playing Carlisle.” Peter further contends he is ‘Team Edward’, joking “I like to keep it in the family”, before disclosing he has formed a close bond with Robert since the pair began shooting for the franchise.



The star says that Robert is “intense” and he had some good time listening to him playing the guitar when they took time out from filming the first Twilight movie: This of course in good earlier days before they started being mobbed by fans.

Twilight at the Emmys

Last night, the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live (location sound familiar?), and a few prominent faces of the Twilight world made an appearance.




For starters, Michael Sheen ("Aro") was there as a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for his work in The Special Relationship (Al Pacino ended up winning the award for his work in You Don't Know Jack.). He talked about his character and his perspectives on the rise of television series' popularity in a video interview.



In addition, Peter Facinelli ("Carlisle Cullen") came out to support Nurse Jackie, a nominee, and tweeted about his experience. "Oops.Went to the bathroom and Edie Falco won an Emmy 4 Nurse Jackie. Missed the whole thing. #emmyfail. Congrats Edie. You deserve it! :)"



Finally, Melissa Rosenberg (screenwriter) was on the red carpet in support of Dexter. MTV caught up with her to discuss The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and she revealed that she was about 75-80% finished writing the scripts, that the toughest challenge so far has been to approach the final battle sequence, and that the possibility for the film to be shot partially in Brazil was high.

Jackson Rathbone To be on No Ordinary Family!


Coming up necks for Twilightbloodsucker Jackson Rathbone: A potentially recurring role on ABC’s No Ordinary Family.
The 25-year-old actor—whose two summer films, Eclipse andThe Last Airbender, collectively grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide—will play Trent Stafford, a high school classmate of Kay Panabaker telepathic Daphne. Trent was recently the victim of a home invasion robbery, and I’m guessing Daphne will join forces with her superhero parents to help catch the perp.
Rathbone last appeared on the small screen in 2009, when he guest-starred as a serial killer with multiple personalities on Criminal Minds.

Melissa Rosenberg to discuss Vampires with Stephen King

At this year's New Yorker Festival in New York City, Twilight series screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will be participating in a discussion panel on the subject of "vampires in popular culture" with none other than Stephen King.

Stephen King has written vampire lore novels before, including Salem's Lot, and, of course, Melissa Rosenberg has written the screenplays for Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

So, in other words, they both have experience in the vampire pop culture field.

Of course, most Twilight fans are hard-pressed to forget Stephen King's words about Stephenie Meyer, so there is bound to be a bit of dismay over the coupling involved for this panel.

It should be interesting - understatement - to hear how the two approach the issue as it is inevitable that the Twilight series will come up during those discussions. One has to wonder whether Stephen King will be deferential to the Saga's success and popularity, or if he will dismiss the Saga altogether and focus on other works of vampire fiction.
