According to the fine folks over at TwilightersItalia, Robert Pattinson arrived in Rome at the Fiumicino Airport on his way to Montepulciano at 12:30pm local time, which works out to 6:30am EST. He’s already made his way to Tuscany.
In other news from Montepulciano, the new fountain was given a trial run with water to prep for shooting the film. TwilightersItalia says–
Also today, they’re shooting in the centre of the city, our friends told us that the Porsche was actually there this morning. With a bit of luck we’ll have some pictures to share of that too later.
The Italian shoot is really starting to ramp up! Anyone else as excited as me?

Check out these cute pictures of New Moon vamp Jackson Rathbone playing music in Philadelphia recently. Shannon was kind enough to send them along, and there are a few more pics after the jump.

New Moon vampire dad Peter Facinelli was spotted on a beast of a motorcycle yesterday in Toluca Lake, California. It is good to see he’s taking some time for himself now that he’s finished with his role on the New Moon shoot! Check out the article at RadarOnline. He was also spotted out for dinner with his wife, Jennie Garth, who is on crutches. The whole family went out for a fun evening as well.

Crafty NMM.org reader Rachel M. took a unique approach to arts & crafts and created a Twilight mask–she sculpted this one-of-a-kind mask featuring the symbols found on the front covers of the Twilight Saga boks. Well done, Rachel!
There aren’t any official New Moon posters for the Voltur yeti, so NMM.org reader TalieX decided to give it a go. I think it’s a fresh and unique approach–what do you guys think?
Talie also sent in her mashup of the official New Moon posters with Bella, Edward, Jacob and the wolf pack joined together similar to the desktop wallpaper we saw a few days ago. Read on to see the poster. [click to continue…]
Check out this video of Robert Pattinson being auctioned off at Cannes to raise money for the AMFAR charity event we mentioned earlier. ET reports–
The vampy leading man was auctioned off today in Cannes for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2009 Cocktail Party. The bidding got so high that Pattinson was split between two bidders, who each paid €20,000 for the chance to meet, greet and win a kiss on the cheek from the ‘Twilight’ idol. Watch the video to see Harvey Weinstein introduce a blushing Rob. Movie mogul Harvey explains that all three of his young daughters want to marry the actor!
