Peta Uses Twilight To Illustrate New Campaign, Vote: Do You Love it or Hate It?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The latestTwilight meme is here! Peta uses an Edward Cullen look-a-like to illustrate what not to be (a bloodsucker) in their new vegeterian campaign “Don’t suck”. They use a faux Jacob Black as an example of using your own fur (didn’t know humans had it) instead of animals fur “Wear your own fur”.

What do you think of these campaigns? Are they a hit or a miss?

Pictures and Report From a Top Secret LA Press Junket for Eclipse

Monday, May 31st, 2010

About three weeks ago, give or take, there was a press junket in LA for foreign reporters who interviewed Taylor and Kristen only. We saw a couple of pictures popping up on Twitter, but basically had no information on the junket. Luckily, French magazine Fan2 comes to the rescue and shows you what it’s like on a typical press junket with foreign media with rare pictures from a press junket round table. Many times we see one single interview posted in many different magazines. This is why this happens: several reporters sit down with the stars and interview them, so naturally the same identical questions and answers end up on different magazines or newspapers. Then another group of reporters come in and start their own interview, which appears in their own publications as well, and so on. It’s not that one magazine is lazy and took the interview from another place (though that can happen); but most of the times they were there too. Also, the process is a little repetitive and reporters tend to ask the same things over and over. Imagine hours and hours of that!

Fan2 shares the following deets:

That’s it! I met Bella Swan and Jacob Black … well …Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner! The two Twilight’s actors were really nice!+

On the second floor of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills was held a press junket where I was going to meet the two great actors of Twilight. Obviously, when you meet a celebrity, you always wonder how they look in real life (without makeup, hairstylists, touch ups …). Yesterday, I had the same feeling when I met Justin Bieber in Paris: they’re as beautiful!

All the journalists were dazzled!

We were 10 journalists from around the world, sitting around a table, ready to ask our questions to the actors of Twilight. Taylor Lautner arrived first! Relaxed, he sat down among us with a big smile, waving to the room: “Hi, how are you?” It’s difficult to tell he just turned 18, he seems so at ease with the press! He jokes, expresses himself well … It looks like it’s part of him. Speaking of his appearance (I know that’s what you’re interested in), where do I begin? Taylor has a unique face: an intense look, great skin and shiny hair. He’s dressed casually: jeans, grey t-shirt and a black blazer that shows his defined muscles. Big crush on taylor Lautner, he’s really nice!

Kristen is less at ease than Taylor.

Later, Kristen Stewart came into the room! At first, I didn’t notice if she had a beautiful face, a unique charm … At first sight, she looks like an average girl. Plus, she doesn’t dress like the usual star. She was wearing skinny jeans with Vans, a white tanktop, a small black cardigan and rubber bands on her wrists.

Just average, I’m telling you ! But when you get a closer look, she has a really nice face! Her haircut is still strange but it’s improving. Faced with the journalists she seems less at ease than Taylor. But it didn’t prevent her from being nice, but we still felt like she wanted to stay in her bed that morning.
That’s all from my meetings. You will soon find Kristen and Tyalor’s interviews in a special Fan2 magazine dedicated to Twilight.

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick Talks About Rob

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Rob’s fellow Brit Ed Westwick talked about him briefly in an interview for Now Magazine in the UK.

Robert Pattinson hysteria is crazy. Would you want that level of fame?

– “I’ve already experienced girls screaming my name, so I wouldn’t say it’s too alien, but I think Rob’s in a very difficult situation. He’s a friend and he’s a good guy. I know him, so I know for a fact that he wants to be known for his work.”

Audio: Rob Says Kristen is Fierce

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Well, more like she has a “fierce fierceness”. Oh Rob :) . In an interview for NovaFM Rob talked about working with Kristen and what she brought onto the part of Bella, which wasn’t in the book.

“It was weird. I mean, everything about the pairing with Kristen kind of worked out for the story,” he said.

“I went in to the audition having absolutely no idea of what to do and because of the way she was playing it kind of shocked me into doing a performance that I didn’t realise I could do.

“I guess she brings a kind of toughness and also a kind of mystery to Bella, which is not really there in the book.

“She’s kind of in a lot of ways, a damsel in distress in the book, and Kristen’s very…there’s a kind of fierce fierceness behind her, which I didn’t really expect the actress who played Bella would have.”

The British actor said he is still surprised at the success of Twilight and that its success puts a certain pressure on him.

“In the beginning I had no idea. It seems to get bigger and bigger and bigger every week that is going past,” he said.

“I feel pressure to live up to making a good movie, but I mean the expectations are so diverse.”"

Rob is GQ’s #2 King of Cool

Monday, May 31st, 2010

GQ named Rob one of their Kings of Cool, being only beat by Prince Harry who, we’ll give it to him, is pretty badass himself.

The magazine said the cut-off age for eligible men was 37 and a half and took into account an ”enviable sense of savoir faire, a talent for transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, or just a really edgy haircut”.

The youngest member of the elite club is 7-year-old Albert Cocker – son of former Pulp star Jarvis.

The list appears in the July issue of GQ.

Top ten ‘coolest’ men

1. Prince Harry
2. Robert Pattinson
3. Reggie Love (Aide to US President Barack Obama)
4. Dizzee Rascal
5. Jason Schwartzman (actor)
6. Usain Bolt
7. Ryan McGinley (photographer)
8. Dustin Lance Black (screenwriter)
9. Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys drummer)
10. Wells Tower (author)
