Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene play dominos for charity

Twilight co-stars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene will be spending their Labor Day weekend in Vieques, Puerto Rico playing a game of Hollywood Domino for charity.




Hollywood Domino is a celebrity gaming event - which took place last time in March for Haiti earthquake relief - that has been hosted in various cities across the world, according to one source, including London, New York, and Los Angeles.



See Twilight Lexicon's post for more details.



Both Lutz and Greene have been very active with their respective charities of choice. For instance, Ashley Greene recently hosted Super Saturday 13 in the Hamptons to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Lutz, meanwhile, has used his Twitter page almost exclusively (though he is known to give his fans a shout out quite regularly) to raise awareness for groups like the St. Bernard Project. These are but two of many activities the two have done for charity as individuals, though.



As all proceeds from this round of Hollywood Domino are going to children, their decision to participate is not surprising.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pulls Out of Brazil

In the final chapter of Stephenie Meyer's hugely successful Vampire romance novel series The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, newly weds Bella and Edward head to Brazil for their honeymoon. Director Bill Condon had planned to shoot these scenes on location for his upcoming adaptation of the book The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, but now it doesn't look like he wants to bring cast members Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson into the country.

In a story from The Daily Fill, it seems that a hostage situation in Rio has the producers too nervous to shoot there. While scenes were originally scheduled to take place in Brazil, a drug gang who had taken 35 tourists hostage at the Intercontinental Hotel in Rio de Janeiro has changed their minds. Now, the production is scrambling to find a new place to shoot these important moments from the upcoming film.

The hostage situation ended in a blaze of gunfire that took one person's life, and injured six others. The gang eventually surrendered, but there were at least 1,550 tourists in the hotel at the time, and the situation was not deemed an isolated incident. Producers of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 decided not to shoot within the country simply because they don't want to put their stars in any kind of danger.

At this time, Rio officials are lobbying to have Summit Entertainment still shoot in the city despite recent events.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 comes to theaters November 18th, 2011 and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed,Peter Facinelli. The flim is directed by Bill Condon.

Possible Delay in Filming?

Summit Entertainment is considering delaying their hit franchise, “Twilight's” Filming in Brazil.  Brazilian violence in Rio de Janeiro may delay filming that was scheduled for later this month. Last weekend’s clash between drug gangs and the Brazilian police in Rio has made movie executives reconsider their filming schedule.
35 civilians were taken hostage in a hotel this past Saturday. The standoff ended in a gunfight that left one dead and four police officers wounded. City officials are now trying to persuade Summit Entertainment executives that everything is safe in the city and that they can stick to their filming schedule.


What would happen if the “Twilight” movie executives delayed filming in Brazil or cut Rio completely out of the movie? At the worst, this movie delay could cost some at considerable money in rescheduling or relocating. It is however, understandable that the executives are showing concern for their actors’ and production crew's safety. The real question is whether or not last weekend's violence was just an isolated incident.

Twilight's Robert Pattinson lacks bite in top vampires chart


ROBERT PATTINSON may be an idol for thousands of Twilight fans but he has a long way to go before becoming an enduring, international icon of horror fiction.
In a new poll to find the top vampire, Pattinson's Edward Cullen was even beaten by Count Duckula, from the UK cartoon series that was a spoof on the Transylvanian fiend and a spin-off from DangerMouse.
Perhaps not that surprising when you consider Pattinson has played pale, sparkly Edward in three Twilight films (with the two upcoming instalments of Breaking Dawn finishing off the saga) while Dracula has appeared in more than 200 movies - more than any other fictional character except Sherlock Holmes - and been referenced in well over 600 films.
With that impressive stake in popular culture, Bram Stoker's literary creation easily beat the new blood to top the list in a poll commissioned by sci-fi and fantasy magazine SFX.
The monster was memorably played by actor Christopher Lee in numerous Hammer films and by Gary Oldman in the 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Second place went to Spike from the US TV series Buffy, while in third place was Angel from the same show.
More than 8,000 fans took part in the SFX website survey as part of the magazine's 200th issue celebrations.
Robert Pattinson's Twilight character Edward Cullen failed to make the top ten and figures only at number 14.
He was even beaten by cartoon character Count Duckula who was placed in ninth position by voters.
Top ten favourite vampires of all time:
1. Dracula
2. Spike (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
3. Angel (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel)
4. John Mitchell (Being Human)
5. Drusilla (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
6. Eric Northman (True Blood)
7. Mick St John (Moonlight)
8. Selene (Underworld)
9. Count Duckula (Count Duckula)
10. Darla (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

Nikki Reed Likens Bella And Rosalie To A 'Divorced Couple'


Nikki Reed talks about Bella And Rosalie's Bond In Breaking Dawn


With "Eclipse" about to leave theaters and a sizable gap between the release dates of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" and "Part 2," the "Twilight" news seems hard to come by these days — at least until the cast starts filming "Dawn" this fall.

Lucky for us, MTV News caught up with Nikki Reed recently to talk about her upcoming indie film "Last Day of Summer" co-starring DJ Qualls, and, naturally, the conversation veered into "Breaking Dawn" territory. As fans and readers of Stephenie Meyer's final "Twilight" book know, Reed's character Rosalie and Kristen Stewart's Bella form an unexpected bond late in the series. We asked her thoughts on how the relationship between the two women changes in the final two films.
"What is that saying: Nothing makes two people bond more than the hate of another?" Reed said. "I kind of feel like that [describes Bella and Rosalie's relationship], but in relation to love in 'Breaking Dawn,' because they both love this child so much."
Speaking of Bella and Edward's much-discussed baby, Renesmee, Reed explained that a shared love unites the two. "I think it's finally the one thing that's strong enough to bring them together — their love for this [child]. It's bizarre," Reed said, since in the books and the films Bella and Rosalie don't exactly get along perfectly. "It's like they learn to co-exist for the sake of the kid, almost like they're a divorced couple."
Reed has also said that her character's motivations for wanting Bella to have the baby at all costs are all about that love she has for the child, not politics.
"I think that Rosalie just always wanted to be a mom, and that's how I look at it," she said. "It has nothing to do with being pro-life or anything. I think it's about her want, her need to be a mother, and this is the only opportunity she's ever going to have, so she's willing to let Bella die so she can have that and fulfill that, and that's how I look at it. It's her own personal desires."
