Hollywood Crush › Robert Pattinson

by Erin Strecker

If you weren't at one of the 500 Target stores that premiered exclusive footage of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" last night, you’re in luck, because we’ve got a wrap-up. Check out our coverage of the event, and let’s delve a little deeper into the exciting first look at the finale of vampires, werewolves and hybrids.

The five-minute long clip featured greetings from pretty much the whole cast (hey there, Jasper and Emmett!) with Kristen Stewart talking about her favorite of Bella’s powers: Her "super self-control." There was also a behind-the-scenes look at Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in the woods rehearsing, presumably footage from the upcoming, intense final battle. To the disappointment of many in the crowd, Taylor was wearing a shirt for the entirety of the clip.

In just a few short hours, Bella and Edward will be yours to have and to hold forever as "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" hits DVD and Blu-ray. Target stores across the country (500 in all) will be hosting special release parties beginning at 11 p.m., where you'll not only be able to pick up a copy of the hot hit but also see a sneak peek clip of "Breaking Dawn - Part 2." (Yes, we are squeezing our Edward Cullen doll extra tight right now to avoid hyperventilating...)

But we can't let Target have all the fun. Nuh-uh. Which is why we spent the better part of this afternoon watching the disc's nearly 90-minute, six-part making-of documentary. And boy did we learn a lot—we could write a thesis! But we won't. Cause that'd be boring. So instead, we've compiled a list of five interesting facts we gleaned from the special feature. Check 'em out after the jump!

The wait is almost over! In little more than a week, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" will be yours to own on Blu-ray and DVD, meaning you can hit repeat on all those awkward wedding toasts over and over again. (Or, y'know, one of the steamy sex scenes. If that's your thing.) In anticipation of the February 11 release, we've nabbed an EXCLUSIVE DVD extra in which "Twilight" scribe (and "Breaking Dawn" producer) Stephenie Meyer recalls filming the climactic birth scene. Watch the behind-the-scenes clip of Edward (Robert Pattinson) trying to revive Bella (Kristen Stewart) as Stephenie explains:

"He was really able to touch the human emotions of that scene. Rob really nailed it," Stephenie recalled. "It was really powerful. I teared up, several people near me did. It was just a lump in your throat—that moment of thinking you've lost everything and not being able to accept it. It was really emotional."

Come Valentine's Day, we'll find out once and for all whether that old maxim, "All's fair in love and war," is really true when the romance intrigue "This Means War" hits theaters. Starring Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine, the film follows a pair of friends/spies who fall for the same woman, eventually unloading their espionage arsenals to win her affections (and undo the others' efforts).

Days before the film hits theaters, we'll air an exclusive clip and 30-minute sit-down with star Reese Witherspoon during our MTV First: This Means War! And we'll be touching on all the important stuff...like what it's like working with "Water for Elephants" co-star Robert Pattinson. Here's a tiny taste to tide you over:

"I would say [he is] the hardest-working person I've ever worked with, honestly," she said. "[He's] professional, hard-working, so appreciative, more grateful than I've ever seen anyone for where he is in life."

By now, you've had ample time to see the sad photographic evidence confirming that Robert Pattinson has, indeed, shaved off his luscious locks into an ultra-short buzz cut. (In fan circles, this is also known as ample time to scream, sob, mourn and then scream some more.) But getting such up-close and personal insight into the exact shape and size of Rob's head got us thinking: what would happen if everyone in the "Twilight" cast gave themselves a close-cropped shave?

The easiest answer, obviously, is A LOT MORE SCREAMING AND CRYING. But after some speculative Photoshopping, surprisingly enough, some of these guys—and girls!—don't look half bad with a buzz cut. And while we'd like to urge Peter Facinelli not to lose his lovely locks anytime soon (not because it looks awful, but because that new hairline makes him look too weirdly similar to Patrick Wilson), and also Kristen Stewart (um, lady? Is your head really shaped like that?!) some of the other stars just might want to tote this gallery of what-ifs along to their next salon appointments. Especially you, Ashley Greene.

We're on to the next round in our MTV Movie Brawl 2012, and things are heating up! After some stiff competition and a few close races, only the Elite Eight contenders remain—and this next showdown is going to be even hotter.

The unstoppable juggernaut this year? Looks like the one to beat will be "The Hunger Games." It already KOed the much-anticipated "Prometheus" to advance to the next round, and its triumph over opponent "John Carter" is pretty much guaranteed...much as we love the idea of the uberhot Taylor Kitsch as an intergalactic Civil War vet. But there's been a few surprise upsets already as well: "Snow White and the Huntsman" fell flat in favor of "The Woman in Black," and say goodbye to indie darling "Perks of Being a Wallflower"—it couldn't hack it against a pack of hairy-footed hobbits and warmongering dwarfs.

The People's Choice Awards aired last night, and man, were there ever some choice people to watch onstage and on the red carpet. Three words, ya'll: Jennifer Lawrence's dress. (And one more: HOLYOMGSOHOT.) And despite a few surprise losses—including the sudden and complete absence of Robert Pattinson's hair—it was a good night for a lot of our favorites, with wins across the board for the films and actors we've been watching all year.

First up, the big sweeper: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" took home the win for Favorite Movie, Action Movie, Ensemble Movie Cast and Book Adaptation, proving once and for all that the people just love a good wiz. Potter alumns even dominated the nominations for the Favorite Actor Under 25 category, with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton filling out four of the five spots—although dark horse Chloe Moretz claimed the award, making this the gajillionth year in a row where someone who once played a vampire showed up to represent.

File this one under Random Yet Notable. It has come to our attention that our favorite Robert Pattinson and fellow actor/all-around likable guy Anthony Mackie are total BFFs. Well, I'm saying BFFs; they're saying "good friends." The point is, while I like to think everyone knows everyone else in Hollywood, I had no idea Rob and Anthony are bros.

When MTV News caught up with Anthony recently during the press day for his upcoming heist/thriller "Man On a Ledge," talk somehow turned to the subject of vampires and the fact that Anthony wants to be in a sixth "Twilight" movie.

"Rob, a good friend of mine, we were actually hanging out last night. I told him, 'Man, you know I gotta be in that "Twilight: Part Six.'" He told me he's going to look out for me."

If the feather-flying, bed-busting honeymoon hanky panky in "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" was too tame for your Robert Pattinson bloodlust (you vixen!), might we recommend ducking into a theater near you when the actor's sexy period piece "Bel Ami" premieres March 2?

If you've spied the film's trailer or listened as RPattz extolled his crack's many cameos, you know the Guy de Maupassant adaptation is anything but tame. And if, when watching the trailer, you find yourself envious of the 25-year-old's many female costars, well, Uma Thurman confirmed in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar UK (via The Daily Mail) that starring alongside the hunk wasn't too difficult.

"To answer the ubiquitous question about this movie, yes, Robert is good-looking in person, but he doesn’t have that diamond-sparkle skin like in those Dracula movies," she said.

After nearly five years of being known 'round the world as the ultimate vampire boyfriend, there's not a whole lot that Robert Pattinson could do to wash the lingering odor of "Twilight" off his career... but nevertheless, he certainly seems to be trying. Case in point: his next movie, "Bel Ami", which looks to be a pretty serious departure from the teen supernatural romance genre.
