"Not only am I the host of the show, but I'm also a vampire and a werewolf," Jimmy Kimmel said during his introduction of last night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "I hope I don't have to kill anyone tonight."
Robert Pattinson was the latest in "New Moon" stars to stop by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" for a chat with the lovely host. On the episode, which was pre-taped (he is a busy guy after all), our beloved R-Pattz discussed house hunting, fans getting naked and Canadian-American geography. His entire family was there to witness the fun, though they sat in a makeshift section to the side of the actual audience. "I like how they're corralled," Rob joked. "That's the way I like to keep my family. Just, like, in a pen."
Rob said "New Moon" mania has brought him to five or six countries in the past week, but as we know already, it's pretty much impossible to him to actually leave his hotel room. He told Ellen that if he could do anything for a day, he'd try to find a house. "It's very, very difficult, I always think, just the actual process of looking for a house. If someone's following you it defeats the entire purpose of trying to find a secret house."
Uma Thurman is set to star in the upcoming flick with Robert Pattinson ,"Bel Ami.," according to The Hollywood Reporter. In what seems like a unique pairing, the story is set in the 1890’s centering on George Duroy (Robert), a struggling journalist who came from rags to riches to be one of the most successful men in Paris. Uma Thurman takes her place as the wife of Duroy’s friend. She helps George along his journey to success and later backstabs his friend and marries Duroy. Ouch.
We previously reported that Nicole Kidman was signed on for the part, but then we learned that wasn't the case. Sorry Crushers, we can’t always get it right! Nicole, however was in the running at one point, as she recently told MTV News, "I was [in talks for it], and we couldn't work out the dates."
Last night, the stars of the month (or should it be year by now?), the cast of "New Moon," took their place in the New York City spotlight by attending the Cinema Society and D&G screening of the movie at the Landmark Sunshine Theater. It was originally supposed to be a "secret" event (is there really such a thing with the "Twilight" franchise anymore?), but plenty of faces from Manhattan's "elite" circles (um, hi, Ivanka Trump) were still there to support the Saga.
Just looking at the photos above (and the ones from the rest of the evening), it seems as though Kristen Stewart was somehow left off the memo that instructed attendees to "please only wear black or shades of cream tonight." Though she did show up to the carpet in a black Burberry trench coat, she eventually took it off to reveal an olive green Valentino dress. We adore the silhouette and the girly frills, but we're not super keen on the color for the actress, who looks a little washed out in it (her eyes, however, look stunning). As for Kristen's boys, both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner chose sleek black Dolce & Gabbana suits, with Rob's, of course, sans tie and unbuttoned at the top.
Would you be surprised to hear we have one more Robert Pattinson trailer to show you before tomorrow's big "New Moon" premiere? Probably not, right? But what if we told you it had nothing to do with sparkling vampires? In a feat of epic timing, Summit has released the trailer for Rob's other 2010 film "Remember Me" right in time to coincide with the hoopla surrounding the sequel's release. And in typical RPattz style, the comely actor is all brooding melancholy in this first sneak peek.
The film centers around a pair of star-crossed lovers (sound familiar?) dealing with their own family tragedies. The trailer opens on Tyler (Rob) trying to break up a street fight, ultimately leading to his arrest and a bloodied face (which explains all those paparazzi shots of a worse-for-the-wear Rob strolling through New York City). When Tyler's father Charles, played by Pierce Brosnan, comes to bail him out, it's clear there's no love lost between father and son. "You could do worse than a father who bails you out of jail," Charles says. "I don't want to be bailed out of anything," Tyler shoots back.
Today was Robert Pattinson's turn to hit the morning shows, appearing on both "Today" and "Live with Regis and Kelly" for his round of "New Moon"-related questioning. Clad in a strategically unbuttoned green dress shirt, white v-neck undershirt, and dark grey blazer, he talked to the morning hosts about dating someone whose name rhymes with "Tristan Bluart," biting and "Twilight" moms, and graciously signed autographs for fans.
Maybe they learned from yesterday's very brief segment with Kristen Stewart, but "Today" went the one-host-interview route with Rob instead of having all four hosts grilling him at once, and it made for a much more entertaining interview. That's also probably due to the fact that Rob is a lot more forthcoming and unguarded when talking to the press than Kristen, but having Matt Lauer talk to Rob solo proved highly entertaining. Plus, the "Today" show got to use the "Interview with a Vampire" graphic I'm sure they've been waiting forever to show America.
In some of their final stops on the New York City press tour for "New Moon,"Robert Pattinson visited the set of "Late Show with David Letterman" and Kristen Stewart hung out with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
The Letterman show was fueled with the topic of "New Moon." In his opening monologue he commented that vampire teens stay up all night and then sleep all day, adding, "Isn't that every teenager? When you think about it, isn't that what other kids do?" and elaborating, "These teenagers not only drain you of your blood but they also empty your refrigerator." In his mockery of Barack Obama's interview with Fox News, he claimed the number four highlight of the interview was he began a feud over which twilight star is hunkier, Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner.
Between the grocery aisle and the magazine aisle, in the past few months, we haven't been able to get away from "New Moon" mania. So we at Hollywood Crush have decided to compile a list of all the magazines the various stars of "The Twilight Saga" have graced in recent months for your viewing pleasure. After you take the walk down memory lane, take our poll so we can decide which magazine nailed your vision for the stars the best!
1. Robert, Kristen and Taylor on EW, November 2009
MTV's "New Moon Revealed" special, which aired last night, took a trip down memory lane to May 2008, when Robert Pattinson made one Twilighter's life much better by sneaking up on her in the MTV newsroom as he presented her with the first exclusive clip from the first film in the franchise. In-house "Twilight" expert Larry Carroll, who coordinated the whole event, wrote his own personal recap of the experience over on MTV.com.
"Having spent so much time back then with the 'Twilight' cast, and knowing that we had landed an exclusive clip of the movie, I had an idea: What if we were to surprise a die-hard fan with the clip and have it brought to her by Robert Pattinson?" he wrote.
Larry led MTV to become one of the leading sources of "Twilight" news before anyone in mainstream entertainment journalism had even heard of Bella and Edward making their way to film. The weekly installments of "Twilight Tuesdays" and exclusive early interviews with the cast made Larry the one guy who could pull some strings and make things happen.
