Here’s a brand new video interview with Robert Pattinson for his film How to Be. The Sundance Channel says–

In this interview – his only one about the movie – Pattinson talks about how he is nothing like the character he plays in the film and why it’s hard to fake playing the guitar badly.

The film is now available for viewing on IFC Festival Direct on Demand. For more info on how to see the movie, check out the official website. Anyone seen it yet? What’d ya think?

Alex Meraz, who plays the badboy wolf Paul in New Moon, reveals that a fan took his role a bit too seriously, giving him a hard time for the character he is playing–

“Someone started yelling at me because they didn’t like my character,” Meraz told us last night at a Carrera Vintage Sunglasses party at the Chateau Marmont hotel.

“I play a bad boy, so she got mad at me,” he added. “She said, ‘I hate you, Paul!’ That was the craziest thing for me—being confused for a character.”

Meraz’s response to the hater?…

“I yelled back at her, ‘I love you, too!’” he said.

He also revealed that he doesn’t think he can compare to Robert Pattinson in the sex symbol category (I beg to differ!)–

“I’m happy to have just a smidgen of what he’s got…I’m not worried about being a sex symbol.”

Alex Meraz, a fellow wolf pack member in New Moon with Taylor Lautner, reveals that the two put their background in martial arts to good use–in their free time, the duo perform martial arts together!

Meraz, who plays a volatile member of the wolf pack named Paul, tells us he and fellow furry friend Taylor Lautner often pass the time between shooting doing martial arts, including karate and backflips.

“The wolf pack is like brothers,” squealed Meraz, eagerly.

The crew is currently shooting in Vancouver, and Meraz says it is going “great.” He adds that the sequel, in his humble estimation, will definitely be superior to the original.

“It gets bigger, better and more exciting,” gushed Meraz.

Check out this awesome New Moon poster by Grodansnagel, featuring Bella. You may remember the same fan artist’s jaw-dropping shirtless Jacob Black poster, as well. This one isn’t quite as lust worthy, but the level of craft and detail is stunning!

In camaraderie with Robert Pattinson, who plays the mustachioed Salvador Dali in his new film Little Ashes, HX/Out Magazine had a screening of the film where the entire audience donned a fake mustache! Is that Mario and Luigi up front?

You found me!

Yes, yes, yes–we missed Wolf Cub Friday last week. I have flogged the appropriate parties. But never fear–it’s not going anywhere, and this week we have a wolf cub that is hiding out in a log while playing Hide & Seek!

New Moon stars Taylor Lautner and Peter Facinelli were spotted in Vancouver–Taylor Lautner looking a bit sleepy, Peter Facinelli at the airport to head out of town to EyeCon in Florida and other obligations. Eclipse Director David Slade was also seen arriving in Vancouver to scout locations and meet with production. Eclipse has begun!

Around the same time Slade came, Peter Facinelli left. We were actually on the same flight to Vegas. Not sure where he was going. I sat across the aisle from him. He was lovely to fans who approached for photos in the terminal and the only other remarkable detail I can give you is that while I was trying to write The Outcast book review, he was givin’er on his iPod, playing some game that required furious tapping and scrolling and shaking. It was distracting and hilarious and adorable, especially when he became extra spastic with the controller.
