Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart No Longer Cutest Couple?

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are no longer the cutest couple—-at least according to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards! Last night at the Kids Choice awards, the award for cutest couple went to the other Twilight Saga hunk Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart. What a major burn for Team Edward.

So the kids voted Jacob and Bella as cutest couple instead of Edward and Bella but that wasn’t the only Twilight news of the night. The Twilight Saga: New Moon was beat out as the favorite movie. The film the kids voted as number one was Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Please!

No offense kids but I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than watch “The Squeakquel” but that’s just me.

The award for Favorite Movie Actress went to Miley Cyrus, who ran away from a slime-covered Katie Perry! A very happy Miley said:

Thank you, Katy, for not sliming me,” she said. “It really got you, but good thing we both wear wigs. … Thank you guys so much!

Robert Pattinson on Fame, Rob and Kristen Stewart in ‘New Moon’ Extended Scene

Robert Pattinson would rather go to a pub than a movie premiere. Pattinson recently told London journalist Neil Sean:

Although I like meeting fans and love the response from them. I’m far happier going down to my local pub, having a drink and sitting chatting to friends. That’s when I’m most relaxed.

I didn’t go into acting because I wanted to be famous, I got into acting because I loved the creation and the making of good credible drama. Fame is just an extra added on.

In one of The Twilight Saga: New Moon extended scenes, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart talk about Taylor Lautner’s character, Jacob Black.

This sequence is a set-up for the upcoming Edward vs. Jacob conflict and was included n the New Moon DVD special features. As Bella and Edward walk to class, our favorite vampire is concerned that Jacob Black is more than just friend to Bella.

Kristen Stewart: Dakota Fanning ‘Straight Up Scary’ as Jane in ‘New Moon’

The Twilight Saga: New Moon marks the first appearance of the Volturi, the closest the vampire world has to royalty and a major force in the future of the saga. Centuries old and unimaginably powerful, they serve as lawmakers and enforcers for the community.

Dakota Fanning plays Jane, a very scary member of the Volturi, in New Moon. Kristen Stewart, who had met Fanning before her involvement with the film said:

Dakota is straight-up scary and mean as Jane. She’s one of the most impressive people and actors I’ve ever met. She’s really got a presence that you just don’t mess with. And you wouldn’t expect that, because she’s a little girl. She’s one of the best young actresses around, and I’m excited that I got to work with her.

The leader of the Volturi is Aro, played by Michael Sheen. Sheen is no stranger to this world, having played a werewolf enslaved by the vampires in the Underworld series.

Sheen developed a distinct vocalization for Aro, higher pitched and more precise than his normal speaking voice. In fact, Sheen says, he unconsciously channeled the scary, psychedelic, music-hating, color-sapping Blue Meanies of Yellow Submarine fame when voicing Aro.

There was a moment where I suddenly thought, ‘Oh, I sound a little bit like the Blue Meanies,’” he says. “I found them really disturbing when I was a kid, so I thought that was a good thing.

While all the Volturi are formidable, perhaps the most fearsome is the character Jane who is played by Dakota Fanning. Jane is a sweet-faced, innocent-looking vampire who can—and does—inflict pain merely by willing it. Fanning said playing Jane was fun:

I’ve never really gotten to play a bad guy before, but in this one, I play a bad girl —or vampire—and it was really fun. Plus, I was a really big fan of the books, I read all four of them in about a week, so it was thrilling to be asked to be a part of the film.

I got to wear red contact lenses, which were cool and changed the whole look of everything, literally. And the white make-up—I thought I was pale before, but now I realize, by comparison to a vampire, I’m actually quite tan.

Are you getting excited for the release of the Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD this weekend?

Rumors of ‘Eclipse’ Screenings are False

eclipse screening rumor Rumors of Eclipse Screenings are False The web was wild with rumors that Summit Entertainment was holding test screenings of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse over the weekend. There were even testimonials appearing online from the lucky fans who were able to attend the screenings.

However, MTV reports that rumors of the screening are “absolutely not true” and fan testimonials being published online on are equally untrue.

Peter Facinelli Top Celebrity Tweeter of the Year!

Peter Facinelli is the Top Celebrity Tweeter of 2009!

The readers of E! Online picked Facinelli as the Top Celebrity Tweeter of 2009, and we think it’s awesome! Peter Facinelli has raised money for a number of charities via Twitter, and I give Peter big snaps for showing the rest of us how to utilize Twitter to help others.

I read Peter Facinelli’s news via Twilight Lexicon, one of my favorite places on the web for Twilight Saga scoop. Per Twilight Lexicon:

It’s pretty amazing when you consider that Ashton Kutcher, who has more Twitter followers than the populations of several nations, came in second. Peter has really taken the possibilities of Twitter to a new level raising money for multiple charitable causes.

Peter Facinelli is married to Jennie Garth, who is really down-to-earth and so nice! I spoke to Jennie Garth in November, right before the New Moon premiere. Peter and Jennie both devote time to helping other people and using their fame for the greater good. Congratulations Peter Facinelli!
