Peter Facinelli Doesn't Like To Talk About Playing A Grandfather In 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2'

Posted 1/11/12 10:18 am ET by Amy Wilkinson in Movies, Twilight Forever!, Videos

If you only know Peter Facinelli as flaxen-haired Cullen patriarch Carlisle, prepare to see a whole new (criminal!) side of the actor when his screenwriting debut, "Loosies," opens today. Peter stars in the independent film as Bobby, a pick-pocket who accidentally impregnates a girl during their one-night stand. (What would Esme say?!)

We sat down with Peter to get all the dish on his romance caper but, of course, talk inevitably turned to "The Twilight Saga," whose final installment hits theaters November 16. Though he has yet to see any footage from the highly anticipated release, Peter was more than happy to share a bit about the scope of the grandiose production.

Peter Facinelli Talks 'Twilight' Wedding On 'LIVE! With Regis And Kelly'

Posted 11/8/11 4:15 pm ET by Kat Rosenfield in TV Recaps, Twilight Forever!

The media blitz for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is on like Donkey Kong, and with just one week before the film's world premiere, we can't turn on our TV without seeing a member of the Cullen family talking about the upcoming nuptials between Edward and Bella. Not that we're complaining! Because it's fabulous! And this morning, the Cullen paterfamilias himself made an appearance in New York to talk "Twilight" with Regis and Kelly...or at least, he was pretty sure it was New York.

"Sometimes I wake up and I don't know where I am," Peter Facinelli admitted, as he's spent the past four years filming "Nurse Jackie" and "The Twilight Saga" on opposite coasts. "My jet lag has jet lag."

'Breaking Dawn' Cast Reveal All In 'Yes/No Show'

Posted 11/8/11 3:10 pm ET by Kat Rosenfield in Random Yet Notable, Twilight Forever!, Videos

After weeks of interviews for the upcoming "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the cast of this year's new "Twilight" flick are no doubt fatigued by the endless rounds of questions that they have to answer with, like, complete sentences involving actual words. So when we got the group for a visit, MTV News' Josh Horowitz went easy on them with a series of simple yes or no questions.

Or at least, it was supposed to be easy. A few highlights from the clips:

Do Taylor Lautner's friends still call him "Sharkboy"?
Answer: Yep. (But he's never had a pedicure, so, y'know. There's that.)

Did Peter Facinelli once kill a man?
His co-stars respond with a terrified, "NO!"... which means that not only has Peter killed someone, but he's also threatened to kill anyone who revealed the truth. Obviously.

'Twilight' Stars Nikki Reed And Peter Facinelli: Superhero Twins?

Posted 8/31/11 3:28 pm ET by Amy Wilkinson in On The Web, Random Yet Notable, Twilight Forever!, Videos

We don't often report on the goings on of super hero movies—that's usually the province of our brother blog Splash Page. But when it involves our favorite sparkly vamps, we obviously have to take note.

In a new video from CollegeHumor, Nikki Reed and Peter Facinelli—clad in matching tight purple get-ups—play Wonder Twins Jayna and Zan, whom, I'm told by resident comic book dude, Josh Wigler, are "real" DC Comics heroes. In a world where Hollywood's run out of A-list superheroes, the duo auditions to fill the well-worn spandex. (Metaphorically, of course. We don't encourage sharing spandex. Diseases and such.) Except, well, their talents aren't all that exciting. Zan can morph into water, and Jayna can turn into any animal, and their display of a turtle in a jar of liquid is lackluster to say the least.

Posted 4/21/11 5:13 pm ET by Kayleigh Roberts in The Twitter Nation

Big-voiced Brit Adele just broke records in the UK (she's now tied with Dido for second fastest-selling album, with two million copies sold in just 87 days), and she's also getting a lot of love on this side of the pond. Everyone from Donald Faison to Abigail Breslin (pictured) was tweeting her praises today. Donald declared Adele's disc the soundtrack to his life, tweeting, "I know I'm late... But ADELE your album is the new sound track to my life. Wonderful! OMG wonderful!!" And Abigail declared Adele's "Someone Like You" her song of the day and professed her love for the album as a whole, saying, "Song of the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Zs7XS3XUo loving Adele's album '21'."

Meanwhile, the cast of "Community" was pretty pumped about tonight's flashback episode. Danny Pudi called the upcoming ep one of the best yet, tweeting, "Tonight's Community (8/7c NBC) is a laughter festival. Easily one of the most fun episodes to read and shoot. Hope you enjoy it!" Co-star Alison Brie didn't think that was quite enthusiastic enough, however, insisting, "Tonight's #NBCCommunity is going to ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!! Not knock them off, but straight up ROCK them off. I'm really excited about it."

Peter Facinelli Hints At Dancing Vampires In 'Breaking Dawn'

Posted 1/19/11 5:49 pm ET by Amy Wilkinson in Twilight Forever!, Videos

Okay, okay. That headline might be a wee bit misleading. But we're only relaying what Peter Facinelli told us. You see, when we cornered the "Twilight" star at Sunday's Golden Globes and pleaded for some "Breaking Dawn" scoop, Peter had plenty to say about filming the saga's closing moments (Sad! Sniff!), but he also had an unexpected answer as to what fans can expect from director Bill Condon, known for his work on musical films like "Dreamgirls" and "Chicago."

"Lots of dance numbers," Peter said with a laugh. Funny, indeed. Could you picture the story's final showdown re-imagined as a "West Side Story"-esque dance-off? (I bet those Volturi robes would be mad-difficult to bust a move in.)
