Blurry pics, but looks like KStew & Rob have left Italy! Thanks, Estefania for this link.
I love Charlie...wonder why there were never any Charlie sightings in Vancity!"As far as I know, I'm gonna say bulls--t," Billy Burke said at Melanie Segal's MTV Movie Awards gift suite. "I'm not buying it. Please!"
Interesting. Then again, when do dads (even movie ones) ever know what the kids are really up to?
Burke just returned from filming New Moon in Vancouver, where he and Rob sometimes grabbed drinks at local dive bars.
So what's R.Pattz like when the cameras aren't rolling?
"He's a goofball," Billy said about Rob's real personality. "If people knew how much of a goofball he was, they wouldn't be falling all over the place. He doesn't take it all too seriously."
I totally wanna see KStew & RPattz Make-Out on Sunday night after winning MTV Movie Awards' Best Kiss. Who's with me?"This is the bed. That's where we had the first kiss between Rob and Kristen," Hardwicke beamed on Thursday when we visited her home just blocks from the beach, to celebrate such MTV Movie Awards moments as the Best Kiss nominee born on her own personal bed. "We did the audition — the chemistry read — here to see if these two would have chemistry. To see if their kiss would be exciting and cool.
"They came to my house — they had just met," Hardwicke remembered, inviting MTV News' Tim Kash to sit on the same edge of the bed where RPattz had made his move all those months before. "I said, 'I know you just met, but I need you to do this scene. We're gonna do it in my bedroom, on the bed — and you're really gonna kiss.'
"Kristen already had to kiss three other guys that day," Hardwicke smiled, addressing the Twilighters. "I know that's torturous, ladies."
Then it came time for the young actor they were referring to as "Bachelor Number Three." "She was kind of sleepy and just hanging out — and then Robert appeared in the room," Hardwicke remembered. "His hair was a little different — it was his Dalà hair, with the black bangs."
Although the finished product would be sexy enough for a Movie Awards nomination, Rob and Kristen's first smooch was anything but. "He was a bit nervous, because suddenly you've just met a girl and you're going to start making out with the person — and someone is filming," remembered Hardwicke, who was capturing test footage on film to show the studio. "[Pattinson] was really wild on the first take — use your imagination.
"I had to tell him, 'This is going to be a PG-13 movie!' and have him settle down a little bit," she laughed. "Afterwards, Kristen and I were looking at each other like, 'Whoa!'
"They had to do it three times," she remembered. "The first time, they went a little too far, and I was like, 'I can't show this to anybody at the studio!' After we finished the whole thing and we had met bachelors one, two, three and four, Kristen said, 'It has to be Rob.' She basically threatened me."
One year ago, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and a handful of other "Twilight" stars arrived at the MTV Movie Awards and walked down the red carpet, with most of the world's press uninterested in speaking with them. In fact, they had to go back to the beginning of the carpet and start again, just so they could be properly introduced to those who didn't realize they were movie stars. Luckily, MTV had caught the "Twilight" bug early, eagerly did some exclusive interviews with the actors on the carpet and were proud to use the occasion as their coming-out party.Read the rest at MTV.
This Sunday night, Rob, Kristen, Kellan, Ashley, Cam, Taylor and others will return to Universal's Gibson Amphitheatre triumphantly, leading the evening's attendees with seven nominations. And when director Catherine Hardwicke recently showed us around her Venice home where it all began, she marveled at the difference 12 months can make.
"Pretty much, everyone was more or less an unknown when we cast them," she explained. "Now they've all blown up big, like, crazy."
Check out Justin Chon talking about New Moon on ET.
Where has Alice been hiding? :-) See more pics of Ashley arriving on set at TwiFans. Sounds like she may be filming some Alice-Bella scenes with Kristen today.
The Awful Truth serves up some gossipy fare, including juicy nothingness about Oregano (you'll have to read it for yourself here), but there are some interesting nuggets in their report among the froth:As for the guys? Rob has obviously been a hot commodity, but apparently the Italians are loving newcomer Charlie Bewley, too. Charlie is playing Demetri, and fans have been "clamoring for pictures and autographs" from him.Filming is supposed to wrap Friday, with Rob done today. Can't wait to hear what happens when Robsten is supposedly back in L.A. this weekend!
And if you're wondering if filming might delay an MTV appearance at this point, Twilight sources say everything's "on schedule."

Shelly Morrison, a Twilight fan, won the contest to be MTV's Movie Insider during this Sunday's MTV Movie Awards after reading about the contest here in my TwiCrack den! Read her blog posts here. I hope that she gets to meet Rob as Laura Culpepper did last year!
MTV shows us that KStew & Rob will be seat-neighbors, and you can spy Taylor a couple row back to the left-side. Yeah, that is Stephanie Pratt...Last week, we dropped a bombshell of OME proportions when we announced that the cast of "New Moon" will be presenting exclusive footage from their upcoming "Twilight" sequel during the MTV Movie Awards. Now we can reveal that the never-before-seen video that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be introducing on Sunday's live show is the movie's first trailer.Thanks Kathy and Team 6 Pack!
The stars will present the premiere of the "New Moon" trailer on the Movie Awards, airing at 9:00 pm ET on Sunday. Then at 10:45 p.m., the high-definition video will debut online. To make sure you don't miss the big premiere, you can snag our Movie Awards countdown clock right here!




Caro sent me a bunch of pics where work looks like it's play for Rob & KStew.

How much do I love NPR? Even more now that Brad Meltzer has revealed his MAN-love for Twilight on NPR's All Things Considered:“I love this story of the gawky, awkward girl who falls in love with the brooding vampire. And I love that she can't get sexual with said vampire because when her blood gets pumping, it'll send him into a frenzy and he'll kill her. (How's that for a prophylactic?)”Read the entire article here.I love hearing the dark secret histories of how the other vampires were turned into vampires. And I love when Edward gets all huffy with Jacob the werewolf — oh my God, I'm on the verge of writing fan-fic here — but again, in case you missed it, I love this story.
But for the most part, I've told almost no one.
Y'know why?
Because as a man, this book is not supposed to be for me.














What are those little black dots? MOLES? hehe
Coral let me know that you can already pre-order your copy of New Moon: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion on Amazon.
Lion & Lamb Love has a ton of photos from Italy yesterday, including one of JANE in make-up. Go check out their entire gallery here.
You know I'm a TwiCrack Addict, and I wear my love for Twilight on my sleeve (at home -- OK, I'm still closeted in real-life...), but this is a whole other level of wearing your heart on your sleeve / arm.
Star Magazine got a hold of Erika Dutra, who hung-out with Rob in Cannes, and who's apparently enjoying her 15-minutes of fame:“We had a great time together! Rob's very sweet,” Erika Dutra gushes to Star through giggles in our June 8 issue. “He’s even better-looking in person than he is in photographs."Blah, blah. Even Lainey and Ted C from E!Online's Awful Truth say that faux-romance rumors are B.S. See more pics of the two hanging out here.


Wow, Rob is as white as a corpse in that first photo! Radaronline.com has some exclusive pics from the New Moon set - check 'em all out.
Phia sent this link to the first poster for Robert's new flick, 'Remember Me'.
Twilight Italia was present when Chris Weitz, Wyck Godfrey & Bill Bannerman participated in a press conference in Montepulciano today. You can read all about the press conference in Italian at Twilight Italia, or in Google-ified English here, thanks to Vanessa!I add here that, following a question about why the choice is its fallout on the city that is hosting the filming, Chris Weitz said that he opted for a need for symmetry and photography. It also took the occasion to say that both cities are beautiful. He added that if there is someone to "blame" for this decision then that's him because he was a very strong wish of the square instead of Montepulciano to Volterra. And I tell you my impression when he spoke you could see clearly that he has done a very professional choice based on that of which in his view, the film needed to make up. I have never concealed that among people who appreciate this director, so I am sure that has worked and is working to make a New Moon really the best.If anybody can offer a more accurate translation, I welcome it! :-) Thanks for the tip, Twi_Crazy!
See more pics of Charlie in Italy at TwiFansWhat parts of filming did you find challenging. What was most enjoyable?Read the entire awesome interview at Twilight Lexicon, and read what he has to say about Dakota Fanning. I can't wait to see Charlie as Demetri!The experience on the New Moon set was a thrilling one. It’s this big hive of activity and everyone is working their proverbials off to pull this thing together. The crew were all brilliant, but I have to mention that Chris Weitz is just the coolest guy to work with. I still don’t really understand how he does it, but he just does, and brilliantly efficiently at that, without breaking any eggs.
It was great hanging around with the cast, on and off set. There are some great figures in this flick. Big shout back home to Jamie Cameo-Power, very entertaining. Special thanks also to the make-up department who were a lot of fun and kept us all awake and entertained at 5am call-times.
The most challenging thing was keeping away from the kraft tent. The food they serve up is damn good and I have a nut addiction which rivals your average lipid-deficient Brazilian squirrel.
Thanks, Loan!In residence at his sneaker boutique Attic in Buena Park, CA, Chon told us of his pride over being an Asian-American cast in a role written for a white actor.
"I think it's a huge deal, man. I think Asian American's need to step it up in terms of the whole film game...I'm so proud," Chon said.
Planning to try your hand at set-stalking during Eclipse filming? Well, it's not as easy as it looks. I half-heartedly tried it, came up with some crap photos of me and Plastic Edward in front of some empty high school, and got grief from my husband for wasting his time driving in circles. heh.
If I were to hire anybody to take me around Vancouver, it would be these ladies, because one of them is Vancity Allie, whose photographs we are all familiar with. Check out a sampling of the photos that they've managed to get of New Moon in Vancouver here.


Sorry my posts are chronologically out of order, everybody! I'm backlogged on posts after being out of town for three days. Lainey Gossip has lots of pics of the final cast members leaving Vancouver on Friday, as well as pics of KStew & Chris Weitz on the Italy NM set and some details on the Italy New Moon shoot:Shooting begins on Tuesday and the planned schedule is as follows:
First two days will focus on Bella trying to make her way through the throngs of festival revelers to reach Edward. She jumps in the fountain, wades through it, towards him. Of course she makes it in time at which point he pulls her into a building.
By the way – if you’re wondering, yes, they’ll be trying to include the “slamming” into his body.
When they reunite, Bella and Edward do kiss followed by the arrival of Jane and the others.
They’ll also film something from Alice’s perspective on these two days. She “sees” Edward sparkling in the sunlight.
Some the driving sequences will also go ahead on Tuesday and Wednesday, schedule permitting. .
On Thursday they’ll be jumping into a hole in the ground. This will likely be Robert Pattinson’s final day barring any major delays – heads up to you twi-hards who’ve made the journey.
Friday is more driving and Porsche work.
After that…a Twilight break. Until August.
Does anybody else get the feeling that Kristen hates the Paps? ;-)

Thanks to Cora, Phia and German Twilighters for the tips!

Radaronline.com shares pics of Ashley enjoying the sun in Italy, as well as reveals that Michael Angarano (KStew's boyfriend) is in town too. :-)While Pattinson flew in from France, co-stars Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart flew together from Vancouver. Another addition to their group? Stewart's boyfriend Michael Angaro. So much for those RPattz romance rumors!Read the rest here.
TwiFans has awesome pics of Charlie Bewley (Demetri) & Daniel Cudmore (Felix) causing a stir in Italy. :-) Definitely go check them out.
