in Twilight

Denzel Washington and his daughter were at the MTV Movie Awards last night, where Denzel presented, and it’s clear from this interview that his daughter Olivia is a big fan!

    I've always been a big fan of Denzel Washington, but I think what he did (introducing his daughter who "wants to be an actress") was so tacky. Whatever happened to trying to make it as an actress on your own, based on your talent? There have been many children of famous actors and actresses who even change their name so they won't get special treatment and parts just because of who their parents are. I know that he must love his daughter, but c'mon how about teaching a little self-reliance?
  • bluegoddessgirl
    I totally agree. I mean it was weird that he even brought her out on stage to present with him, because the MTV VMA stage isn't exactly the appropriate time and place to announce that your daughter wants to be an actress. She should go out there on her own and seek work rather than using her father's name and career. However, it might have been his idea so I cannot blame her for his actions. Also could she even see behind those bangs because they seemed to cover her eyes?!

    Am willing to bet you anything that the person that wrote this comment doesn't have family that loves them or got one but they don't give a damn. Any parent that wants their children to do better will use whatever they can for them to do better. Like their name. Like their money if they don't have the name or just plan support. Make it on their own. Your so stupid. Denzel didn't make it on his own. Some director gave him a chance to prove himself. Guess what...it may not have been his parents but it was someone. Who cares who gets you there. It's going to be up to you if you stay. I give Denzel(Daddy) 50 cool points for putting his children where they belong...First! To damn bad if your folks where not like that. My dad got me my first job!

  • Edwardsmyfav
    She seems like a sweet girl(:
  • Has anyone else noticed that more and more men have been reading The Twilight books and liking them? I mean its about damn time!

    Why do people have to judge the book just b.c its a romance with vampires and its not by Ann Rice?
  • the_nina
    Yeah! I had a guy friend of mine and my little brother read them and both of them loved them! It's breaking a lot of boundaries.
  • Guy just have to get over themselves is all.

  • blue52
    Are you kidding me???? Must be a slow day at the office if we are reporting that certain "celebries" have daughters who like Twilight. Pleeeese! I don't see how this is news.
  • TwilightFan01
    Why don't these videos work in Canada!!?
  • MeMyselfandTwilight
    That's so cool! I LOVE Denzel Washington! Twilight takes over everything!
  • suitejuju
    Cute! How old is she?

    PS Dang I think Denzel is getting sexier with age.
  • kcullen
    I totally agree!!!!
  • the_nina
    During the awards show I think they said she's a graduating senior in highschool... so she's probably around 19.
  • cclore ~ Team CW for BD
    Me too!
  • 4thewolf
    That's so cute! It was cracking me up though- what is she going to say in front of her dad? "Yes, I lust after Robert Pattinson on a nightly basis?'
    LOL
    Love Denzel Washington!
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Real slick there, 4thewolf.

    *smirking*

    Isn't that funny that you seemed to know EXACTLY what she was thinking? Hm...nice way to shove it off as what his daughter is thinking..I am sure you fooled everyone else.

    Do you feel better now that you got that little Pattinson confession out of the way?

    LOL
  • 4thewolf
    *glares defensively*

    I have no idea what you're referring to. I merely saw her huge smile and she seemed kinda shy.

    And I have absolutely no lust whatsover for Pattinson's *lure-you-in-deep* eyes and biteable jawline.

    *Ugh*

    AS IF!!!



    lol
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    oh, well okay...As long as we are clear on that subject - after such a convincing performance, who wouldn't believe you. Gee, sorry I ever doubted your intentions...

    **sarcastic smile**

    LOL
  • 4thewolf
    *blink blink*
    *hurt*
    There was no "performance" (pftthht- just thought about that word) about the whole thing.
    I would never dream of getting anwhere close to such a smooth, hard, marbly person, let alone be running my hands over his newly acquired muscles and kissing his warm lips.
    *rolls eyes*
    Please, stop projecting your little fantasies onto others.
    lol
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    Oh, I am not projecting anything...

    I simply came snooping around when my "Pattinson-lust" radar was going crazy, and I come here and guess where it was beeping the loudest?? Hmm..you will never guess whose avatar was sending the Pattinson-lust signal....

    **staring blatantly at 4thewolf**

    Oh, don't answer that - I think we both know the answer to that one...

    **sweet smile**

    lol
  • 4thewolf
    *hits avatar reapeatedly*

    *wide-eyed panicked look*

    NO, it- it wasn't me!!!

    *looks at Howl, pleadingly*

    Someone set me up for this.........

    *shakes avatar to get it to stop beeping, and "365 days of Rob's Beautiful Eyes" calendar pops out from behind avatar.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    It's all a set-up.

    I can't even stand looking at his intense, warm, sink-into-me eyes!!

    ACKKKK. Did i just say that?

    IT's because of YOU!!!! Stop using your mind tricks on me!!!!
  • ItsRobert_Effing_Pattinson
    **triumphant laughter**
    HAHAHAHA!!!

    ..That is what I thought....

    **smug smile**

    Now if you will excuse me, I have other matters to attend to...


    lol
  • 4thewolf
    *throws calendar at Effing, hitting her in head*
    Take back your calendar of Rob.
    Goodness knows I wouldn't want one lying around my house!!!!
    *sneers*
    UGH!!!

    lol
  • as_1901
    I was thinking the same thing...and he looks at her like: "you know that guy?"
    LOL
  • 4thewolf
    LOL

    "No dad, I'm far too busy on my studies to notice such a beautiful man.... I MEAN.... everyone ELSE thinks he's beautiful..."

    *averts eyes quickly*
  • as_1901
    "...everyone else but me because ..." *chokes as RPatz passes backstage*
    "were you sayin' something?"
    *pulling herself back together* "too busy...studies"
  • 4thewolf
    LOL, as_1901

    *slips Rob a small, folded night as he goes past her, reading, "Call me. I'm yours."

    *keeps eyes lowered, then says, "Let's go dad, I have goals to accomplish"*
  • as_1901
    LOOL
    Denzel to presenter: "Now if you will excuse us, my daughter has studies to do"
    *gives Rob a meaningful look and turns back to dad " Yes I have, A LOT of "studies" to do"
  • suitejuju
    I just found Olivia's age on imdb: 18 (born in 1991).
    Dang I feel old.
    I was in high school in 1991.
  • kcullen
    I think at this point it will be harder to find haters of Twilight....

    It has stopped surprising me to find out how many people love the Saga...It is a nice plug that little Washington like it though.....
  • CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch
    AWEsome!!! everyone loves Twilight. there's something in it for everyone.
  • brebuggy1
    kcullen- i agree..... i think the celebrities who aren't fans are just jealous of all the publicity and how famous these stars have gotten in a matter of a year.
  • MissNay
    Denzel is a stud muffin. He went to Walter Reed in DC (An Army hospital) and toured around and met the wounded soldiers. Then he toured a Fisher house and was so touched by the service they provide for soldiers and families, he asked how much it cost to build one and wrote out the check right there on the spot. (Fisher houses are houses for families of wounded soldiers to stay in while the soldier tries to recover) He's an awesome dude.
  • Shiraz13
    Can someone PLEASE tell me I'm not losing my mind?

    Has anyone watch True Blood on HBO? I heard how good it was, so I rented the first 4 episodes over the weekend. There are soooooo many similarities to Twilight that it made me want to barf. ...not to mention that it just seems so cheezy. Am I just being to picky because I'm comparing it to Twilight, or does it suck as much as I think it does? The only thing creative us that the vamps went public and can buy bottled blood....everything else is copied.
  • bina209
    I never seen it and my cousin told me about it an said its good and that I should watch bcuz she know how I love Twilight, but if its trying to be like twilight, i don’t know if I want to watch it and have you seen the previews to that new show coming on the CW " Vampire Diaries" everyone is trying to jump on the Vampire Train, and they cant copy the uniqueness of the Twilight Saga and the Vampires
  • Allison
    The Vampire Diaries was written in the early 90's. If you read the books you would see that they are nothing like Twilight. Yes there are a few small similarities but since the books were written so long before Twilight you can't say they copied SM. If anything it's the other way around.
  • bina209
    I never knew that it was a book
  • breesmom
    I know people who really like it but I don't care for it. It's sleezy and violent and the lead guy does nothing for me. I don't see it as a copy but as something riding on Twilight's (vampire) popularity. I hear the books are better.
  • Shiraz13
    Well now I feel like the dunce as Shannon pointed out that True Blood is based off of another book series.....haha...so I'm an idiot. I had no clue. Watching the show AFTER Twilight, it seemed sort of like a joke.

    I guess if Sookie Stackhouse was around first, then Stephenie Meyer just made it better with Twilight.....MUCH better.
  • cclore ~ Team CW for BD
    I've read the books and they are much better. I don't care for the lead actor or actress in True Blood. I think it could have been done better!
  • camizzle222
    true blood is based on books that were out before twilight, so Smeyer probably got the idea or some characteristics from them(wouldn't surprise me) there are a lot of similarities btw twilight and other movies and books)

    but twilight is still #1
  • Allison
    Are you kidding me? How can you think that think that True Blood is a copy of Twilight?? The first book in the series was written several years before Twilight. There are absolutely NO similarities at all.
  • Aloha - Scooby Doo
    Haven't watched it.

    When True Blood comes on tv, my husband says, look honey, Vampires!.......thinking that I'd be interested. I tell him, I'm not into vampires, I'm into Twilight.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
  • Awww, Steph is so sweet! I've read so many books, but she is by far the most interactive author with her fans~
    I agree with her, Twilight fans are the best!
  • kasandra_k
    who would'n be fan? hahaha
  • Wooo, another Twilighter recruited! :P
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Exactly... who DOESN'T like the Saga? HELLO.... hehe... you rock Denzel's daughter... woohoo.. join us on this wonderful, crazy adventure!!!
    I love it... more and more fans are joining us... next thing you know... TWILIGHTERS RULE THE UNIVERSE... buahaha... my evil laugh... hehe!!
  • Robaholic

  • Shannon
    LOL how is True blood trying to be like Twilight? The Sookie Stackhouse books (which is what the t.v. show is based off of) came out way before the Twilight books did. ^_^
  • kitty
    i can't wait 4 new moon. i bet mew moon will be one of the best movies just like Twilight is. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • cclore ~ Team CW for BD
    AAWWWWW Denzel looks like he is such a good dad!! I don't think he had much of a clue about Twilight tho LOL!! But I bet he does now!
  • go Denzel, go watch twilight......... you wont regret it....... pinckie promise!!!!!!
