British schoolboy Robert Pattinson became Hollywood's hot new star alongside Kristen Stewart in Twilight

    It's the movie sensation that's set to knock Harry Potter off his number one perch. The boy wizard is dead... long live Edward, the good-looking vampire.

    Five years ago, Robert was a schoolboy in his local amateur dramatic society in South-East London. Now, the film's success has made the 22-year-old £5million richer and has propelled him into superstardom.

    Even so, he remains every inch the boy next door.

    Robert wears a brace, he doesn't wash his hair and his sisters would dress him up as a girl when he was little. Terribly unstarry, he even drinks the odd pint of beer and eats crisps. But he is, without doubt, Hollywood's hottest new pin-up.

    And he can act too. Read More

Robert Pattinson is Breakout Heartbreaker of 2008

    Breakout Heartbreaker

    ROBERT PATTINSON Not two months ago, Twilight had yet to hit theaters and actor Robert Pattinson was only known to some very devoted Harry Potter movie fans who knew him as Quidditch champ and (spoiler alert!) killed-off Hogwarts student Cedric Diggory. But in November, after starring as the celibate vampiric hunk Edward Cullen—he can never kiss the one he loves lest he suck her blood—Pattinson became the most-wanted and least-touchable tween idol to send young women reeling since the Jonas Brothers and their chastity rings. Case in point—when Robert cut his hair, his new ‘do was a top five search term in Google for days. Days.

Erratum on 'Twilight' remake

    To borrow the words from Edward Cullen, "This is the blackest form of blasphemy". ABS-CBN posted this erratum on their website today, claiming that the duty editor who posted the story about a Twilight remake in the Philippines failed to check with ABS-CBN. The said article was posted on the ABS-CBN news website before PerezHilton.com or Yehey.com reported the rumor. A news website is suppose must be based on facts and not theories. If this said editor "failed to check if the story is accurate", then he/she shouldn't even be called an editor. What's really disappointing is the fact that ABS-CBN tried to take adavntage of the hype sorrounding Twilight. There is a saying, "any publicity" is "good publicity". And they got good publicity at Twilight's expense. Maybe the Twilight fans over reacted when we made a big deal about this remake before. But when you start making rumors of a remake just to jump in to the Twilight hype for publicity, then yes, its a big deal. If the studio's news website can't even get their facts straight, just imagine what will happen to our beloved book if they actually did the remake. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, you can read the article below.

    On December 24, abs-cbnNEWS.com uploaded a story, "ABS-CBN bags rights for local 'Twilight' remake". The source of the story was a report by entertainment writer Edgar Cruz posted on yehey.com.

    The duty editor who uploaded the story failed to check with ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. whether the story was correct and accurate.

    ABS-CBN Corp. Communications head Bong Osorio has since denied that the company will do a local remake of the movie, Twilight.

    abs-cbnNEWS.com thus decided to remove the article from our website.

    Our apologies. -- Eds.

MSN's Regrettable Trends in Pop Culture: 2008 Edition

    MSN has a review of the regrettable trends in pop culture for 2008. I totally disagree that we have to regret Twilight. But their reason for regretting is just really funny.



    The "Twilight" Craze: In the weeks before the movie came out, fans of the book series stormed suburban malls to see the Boy Who Would Play Edward. Injuries happened -- including some self-inflicted neck wounds because, apparently, not all fans are aware that Edward is just a pretend vampire/perfect boyfriend/accomplished Volvo driver.

    The backlash may have already begun, though. It started with the fourth book in the series, which featured some bruising love scenes and a medical procedure that will forever be referred to as "The Edwardian Section." And it was sealed with the release of the movie. Even though fans mostly loved it, they also snickered at the rather over-the-top dialogue.

    "You better hold on tight, spider monkey!" is this year's "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."

    But what we were really expecting when we fell in love with a guy whose skin ... glittered?

Twilight Was Bigger than Dark Knight?!

    EOnline.com has an article about Twilight beating The dark Knight in terms of return of investment. Eventhough Twilight only made $167.3 million compared to Dark Knight's $530.8 million, Twilight made more than four times its $37 million production budget. Read the full story below. If only Wall Street had bet on Twilight. Or Hannah Montana. Or Kirk Cameron.

    With a $167.3 million overall domestic take as Sunday, per Box Office Mojo, Twilight made more than four times its reported $37 million production budget—the best rate of return on any film in the 2008 Top 10, including The Dark Knight.

    The Batman epic was a pretty good investment, too, very nearly tripling its gargantuan $185 million budget with a $530.8 million domestic take, Hollywood's second-biggest ever.

    Still, The Dark Knight was nothing compared to these off-the-charts performers: High School Musical 3: Senior Year ($89.7 million), which grossed about eight times its $11 million budget; the Hannah Montana concert movie, which made about nine times its $7 million budget; and, Cameron's Fireproof, which cost $500,000 to produce, and made $33.1 million—or, more than 60 times its budget.

    Other winners—and losers—of the box-office year that was, per stats from Box Office Mojo and The-Numbers.com:

    Winners:

    • Titanic. If The Dark Knight couldn't get within even $50 million of the big-boat movie, then maybe it really won't ever be sunk as Hollywood's all-time domestic box-office king.
    • Robert Downey Jr. Rising from The Shaggy Dog, Downey was the only star to score two Top 20 live-action hits, Iron Man ($318.3 million) and Tropic Thunder ($110.5 million).
    • Will Smith. With apologies to Downey, Smith was the only star to sell a Top 10 movie, Hancock ($227.9 million), solely with his name.
    • Women. Tween and teen girls flocked to Twilight. Actresses fronted, or helped front, four Top 20 hits: Sex and the City ($152.6 million), Mamma Mia! ($143.8 million), Wanted ($134.3 million) and Four Christmases ($111.8 million).
    • Paris Hilton. Her opus, The Hottie & the Nottie ($27,696), was so not the lowest-grossing movie of the year. In fact, it reigned over films starring Catherine Zeta-Jones (Death Defying Acts, $3,561), Heather Graham (Miss Conception, $1,503) and Nick Stahl (How to Rob a Bank, $711—yes, $711).

Twilight surpassing the total gross of Quantum of Solace

    Rotten Tomatoes has a report about this weekend's box office. They mentioned Twilight surpassing the gross of Quantum of Solace.
    Also notable below the top ten was the vampire blockbuster Twilight surpassing the total gross of fellow November hit Quantum of Solace. Just a month ago, nobody would have guessed that the modestly-budgeted $37M teen saga would go on to outgun the latest James Bond film and its $200M+ budget. Twilight grossed an estimated $4.5M this weekend, down only 13%, for a $167.1M domestic total while Quantum fell 29% to an estimated $1.5M pushing its cume to $164.3M. Overseas, of course, is another story with the 007 actioner having a $300M advantage, but Stephanie Meyer fans have given the film industry something that is rare nowadays - a hit with legs. For the year, Twilight ranks as the eighth biggest blockbuster of 2008.

Vampires made 90210’s teens look fake

    The Nationalpost.com has an article on how Twilight seem more realistic than the TV show, 90210.
    "High school is such an otherworldly experience that it works best as a setting when its actors have fangs. Much to-do was made over the summer about the launch of a new Beverly Hills, 90210, but the zeitgeist stayed at least a few area codes away. What the kids were really texting each other about was what was happening on the big screen, Catherine Hardwicke’s slick adaptation of the first book in Stephenie Meyer’s addictive Twilight series. Like the book it’s based on, the film succeeded because it framed teenage heartbreak and longing as a very real matter of life and death: If Bella goes off with Edward, she will be bit in the neck and drained of her blood. Anyone who remembers anything about adolescence knows the metaphor rings true: The throes of first love can feel like a stake through the heart. While the next generation of Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons competed to see who could wear the most expensive shoes on TV, real drama was happening up the coast in Washington state. What does it feel like to be young and powerless, ostracized and desperately searching for a soulmate? The answer could never be found in southern California. This year, teenagers were looking for something with a more authentic bite. "

Robert Pattinson: Five Fun Facts

    People.com has posted an short article about Rob including 5 Fun facts about our dreamy vampire. Move over Zac Efron! British import Robert Pattinson has arrived, and the reaction is Beatles-like. With his signature tousled mop and brooding stare, Hollywood's newest heartthrob has tongues wagging, mobs stalking, and tweens begging.

    1. Robert Pattinson was often taken advantage of by his older siblings. "Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'!" the actor told the BBC.

    2. Robert Pattinson became known to his fans as 'Spunk Ransom' after admitting he disliked his name. "I hate any reference to my name," he told MTV. "I wish people would just completely invent a new one." 'Spunk Ransom' was Pattinson's suggested alternative.

    3. Robert Pattinson, who plays piano and guitar, has two songs featured in Twilight. "I cried the first time I heard the two songs," director Catherine Hardwicke told MTV. "They're deep; they're very soulful."

    4. While filming Twilight, Robert Pattinson injured himself on his very first shot. "I wasn't even doing a stunt. I was just trying to pick up Kristen [Stewart] and I almost tore my hamstring because I hadn't been doing enough squats," the actor told the Los Angeles Times. "It was very embarrassing."

    5. While on the Twilight set, an enthusiastic fan asked a crew member to bring her baby on set and have Robert Pattinson take a photo with the child. "So there's a photo of me like biting a baby's head," he said.

Robert Pattinson: “I didn’t want to be a vampire”

    A polish magazine called Bravo has a new interview of Rob Pattinson. Pattinson Online translated the interview. Read below.
    As a vampire in “Twilight” Robert Pattinson delights millions. Nonetheless he’s still lonely… He revealed only us why!

    “I’m not suitable for a perfect guy.”

    The world has gone crazy about this guy with a mysterious stare and characteristic, dishevelled hair. No wonder that 22 year old Robert Pattinson played an attractive vampire in “Twilight”. As the only group from Poland we meet with him in Los Angeles!

    Bravo: Is it true that you could have not played in “Twilight”?

    Robert: I guess I was the last person that the producers of the movie took into consideration. The castings went on for a year. At first I read that they were looking for an actor to play a role of a ‘perfect man’ . I didn’t go to the auditions at all, cause I thought I’m not suitable for a perfect guy! Director, Catherine Hardwicke invited me for a casting to Los Angeles.

    Bravo:Supposedly you convinced her with a love scene!

    Robert: Yes. She had Kristen, who plays Bella - a girl that fell in love with Edward, and me do a test scene at her home. It was a love scene on the bed. But I don’t know what extraordinary thing I did that I convinced her. (laughs)

    Bravo: How did your friends react when you got the part?

    Robert:I know one hardcore “Twilight” books fan. We know each other for a long time and when I told her that I got the part she was dumbfounded. She said “What??? You…you’ll be Edward?!”

    Bravo: Did you meet already some crazy fans?

    Robert: When I played Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter” once near the place where we were shooting, a school bus was passing by. Suddenly it stopped and we survived an attack of a crowd of mad with happiness school girls. But “Twilight” is something different. Things like this happen to me everywhere, wherever I appear! Shock!

    Bravo: Do you cope with it?

    Robert: I can’t understand it! I always looked the same and nobody paid attention to me. I wasn’t girls favourite, on PE I was chosen to the team as the last one. And now everyone goes crazy even about my hair! When I wanted to get my hair cut, people told me that I can’t because it’s my trademark. It’s incredible. Week after week the fuss around “Twilight” grows!

    Bravo: Is it true that girls are camping near your apartment in Los Angeles?

    Robert: It was like that for quite some time. They also leave me notes behind the windshield wiper. They write: ‘Call me. Don’t be afraid I’m not crazy!’ And the next day: ‘Please, stop ignoring me! If you ignore me I’ll kill myself!’.

    Bravo:To shoot the movie you had to fly from London to US. Far away from family and friends. Didn’t you feel lonely?

    Robert: I was always a loner. I liked to hide somewhere alone. When I come to the U.S. I come here only for a couple of months to work and then I’m going back home. It’s a weird feeling: like I don’t live here, but I’ve been here almost a whole year! Do I have friends still? A flat? Girlfriend? I managed to get away for Christmas to London.

    Bravo: Did you leave someone with a broken heart in London before coming here to the U.S.?

    Robert: Hm, I can’t remember… (laughs) I don’t have luck with relationships. People always scream at me. In relationships and many other situations in life.

    Bravo: Was it easy for you to become a vampire?

    Robert: I treated Edward like an ordinary man. He’s not pleased with being a vampire. Why should he show off with his vampire powers? He wants to be a normal guy, yet he has to feed with blood and kill other creatures. He gets for it an ability of running fast and throwing heavy objects. Lame deal! I guess I would get bored with it! (laughs)

The Oakland Tribune: Teens pick the best, worst of 2008

    Insidebayarea.com has an article of the best and worse of 2008 in a teen perspective. They chose the awkwardTwilight moments.

    Awkward 'Twilight' bits

    Bella in her undies: Let's face it, the majority of "Twilight" viewers were there for Edward, so showing a little underwear was entirely unnecessary.

    Edward sees Bella in biology class: Judging by his reaction to meeting Bella, we'd say Edward suffers from epilepsy, rather than love.

    "Say It": Edward knows he's a vampire, Bella knows he's a vampire; we know he's a vampire. There's got to be a better way to remind us all of this.

    Vampires in the sunshine: Apparently, vampires don't die in the sun. They just get showered with arts and crafts glitter.

    Jessica tries on prom dresses: No, that dress does not make your chest look good.

Who were 2008's most influential tastemakers?

    CTV.ca has an article about the influential tastemakers of 2008, with the help of PereHilton.com and LaineyGossip.com. They talk about the Twilight phenomenon and how Robert Pattinson dethroned Zac Efron from his Heartthrob status. 'Twilight'

    Already a hit book series, the big-screen adaptation of "Twilight" brought home more than US$70 million in its opening weekend.

    Lainey said Twilight redefined the practice of marketing a movie.

    Instead of doing the normal press circuit, the cast went from mall-to-mall in North America and talked to any journalist that would listen.

    The movie was "low budget," "cheesy," and "embarrassingly low-rate" but it beat Bond at the box-office, she said.

    "It forced Tom Cruise to re-evaluate how he markets his movies," Lainey said, citing his unusual trip to Canada to market his latest flick, "Valkyrie."

    Meanwhile, theatres were packed with squealing teenage girls, eager to get a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, who stars as vampire Edward Cullen.

    Pattinson is even influencing young boys.

    "With the explosion of 'Twilight' it's becoming almost attractive and desired for boys not to wash their hair a la Robert Pattinson," Lainey said.

    She said Pattinson has managed to dethrone "High School Musical's" Zac Efron as a teen heartthrob.

    Efron, so perfectly coiffed Lainey calls him "lip-gloss," has been "blown out of the water" by Patterson.

    "It's very interesting to see how someone gets dethroned, it's fascinating," said Lainey.

    Pattinson will likely reign well into next year with the "Twilight" sequel already scheduled for release in late-2009.

Rob Pattinson on Yahoo!

    Rob is on Yahoo's frontpage again. Seems like his haircut took the internet world by storm. It created so much Buzz that they are including him in the ranks of Elvis Presley and John Edwards whose haircuts have the power to make people absolutely bonkers.

    "Buzz" cut

    This week, Robert Pattinson, or more accurately, Robert Pattinson's hair, wafted over and settled upon the Buzz big time, as Web devotees of the "Twilight" star clicked away on anything having to do with his new haircut. In trading in his signature unruly locks for a much shorter, untousled do, Pattinson joins the ranks of Elvis Presley and John Edwards as public figures whose haircuts have the power to make people absolutely bonkers. And for those who harbor strong pro or anti new-hair sentiments, please remember: Long tufts or no, he's still Robert Ever-Lovin' Pattinson!

Valley's most fascinating people: Stephenie Meyer

    Seems like The Arizona Republic is on the same wave length as Stephenie Meyers fans. We all think Stephenie and her books are fascinating. Read the article below.

    "Cave Creek author Stephenie Meyer appears in Twilight, the movie, for less than 60 seconds. Watch for her: She's the pretty brunette ordering a vegetarian plate at a diner. She's so easy to miss, and to think that she's the real star of this show.

    Meyer, 34, is the creator of the Twilight universe, a series of books that has sucked the nation into a tale of teenage vampires and their love woes. Meyer's four-volume saga has sold 10 million copies. The books spent all year on the best-seller list and even knocked Harry Potter off its lofty top spot."

Life&Style: Twilight in Trouble?

    Life&Style has another Twilight cover for their magazine. And I believe this is the third time in the last 2 months that they used Twilight stars as the cover. Talk about overkill. The first one was, Twilight Romance, the second one was Twilight Love Triangle and now , its Twilight in Trouble. Some tabloids would do anything to sell. Read the article below.

    "Since raking in more than $150 million at the box office during its first month, the vampire romance Twilight has catapulted its cast from relative obscurity to stardom. Now, about nine weeks before the sequel, New Moon, is set to start filming, a change in director, possible cast upheaval, lofty expectations and cast members' problems dealing with sudden fame have everyone on edge. "There's been a lot of tension surrounding the sequel," says a cast insider. "It's a stressful time for them right now."

    Some of the stars appear to be dealing with the pressure by hitting the party circuit -- to such a degree that it could be affecting their work. Robert Pattinson, 22, who stars as brooding vampire Edward Cullen, is known for his rugged bad-boy image. But after a long night at Teddy's in Hollywood recently, he was especially disheveled for a business meeting about his latest film project, Parts Per Billion. "At least one person at the meeting noted that Rob looked a little worse for wear," reveals an insider close to the actor's camp.

    And his leading lady, Kristen Stewart, 18, who plays mortal Bella Swan, has her own way of coping with the attention. "It's no secret that Kristen likes to unwind by smoking pot," says the cast insider."

Phenomena of 2008: Twilight

    Photo by Peter Sorel

    National Post has an article about the Twilight Phenomenon. Read below.

    The first volume in Stephenie Meyer's series of teen vampire novels first hit bookstores in 2005, but it was 2008 that Twilight transformed into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. The final volume in Meyer's tetralogy, Breaking Dawn, was released on August 2; the book's release was the publishing event of the year. In fact, the Twilight saga captured four of the five slots in the list of top-selling books in Canada in 2008. It's been said before but bears repeating: though it may trail in books sold and ticket sales, Twilight now rivals the mighty Harry Potter franchise when it comes to hype. The stars of the film were tabloid mainstays, and the movie remains firmly entrenched in the top 10 at the box office a full six weeks after its release. The film has already grossed over $150 million in North America. The second film, New Moon, has already been fast-tracked and will hit theatres in fall 2009.

Robert Pattinson, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna

    Robert Pattinson, the break-out star of the vampire movie "Twilight," has touched off a furor in some corners of the Internet for recently trimming his wavy hair down to a crew cut, according to yahoo.com. The Web site reports "a frenzy of look-ups" for phrases like "Robert Pattinson haircut," "Robert Pattinson new haircut" and "Robert Pattinson with short hair." Among fans' concerns are that Pattinson's hair will be too short for him to reprise his role when a sequel is to begin filming early next year.

Nuking the Fridge: The Most Ridiculous Movie Moments of 2008

    TWILIGHT -- VAMPIRE BASEBALL/WESTSIDE STORY MOMENT

    Going into "Twilight," you'd expect to see some teen angst, a little blood sucking, and a lot of moony-eyed swooning. Yet the baseball game might be a surprise. Apparently, vampires love to don uniforms popular during the Black Sox scandal and play ball in thunder storms. Apparently, Edward can bolt after any fly ball with lightning speed, even if the special effects used makes him look more like Speedy Gonzales than an undead dreamboat. And apparently when two rival bands of vampires meet, they face off Broadway-style, like the Sharks and the Jets in "West Side Story."

'Twilight' Star Kristen Stewart Struggles To Cope With Newfound Fame

    Twilight actress Kristen Stewart is struggling to cope with her newfound fame because she has yet to adjust to crazed fans recognizing her on the street.

    The 18-year-old was catapulted into the spotlight with co-star Robert Pattinson when the epic Vampire love story stormed into international box offices last month. But Stewart admits their sudden success is overwhelming.

    She says, "I'm really not good at it. Some people are great at it. It's like the other side of the job. I can't believe I have to do it. It makes it easier because I'm really proud of the movie and I'm a fan of the book as well.

    "It's weird to see people mainly my age flipping out over Rob walking into the room. He shifts in his seat and they all just go crazy. It's a little daunting."
