During the New Moon filming in Montepulciano, Italy some fans were so eager to have a bit of a chance at the stars, they took to bribing the guards!–

Hangin’ on one of the barrier about the set of New Moon in Montepulciano, a girl won’t be stopped to do an indecent proposal to one of the bodyguards. “If you let me go take some pictures of Robert Pattinson at the end of this street, I swear I’ll give you 100€”.

Check out this rest of this translation of an Italian article from Ciak after the break.

New Moon’s Robert Pattinson left the set of Remember Me in New York yesterday, but not before he beamed a bemused smile to tons of cheering onlookers.

This video shows the brief bit of RPattz in super-slow-mo. There’s another vid of the screamy madness at Radar Online and this one from X17.

Craziness!

MTV has a little preview of what to expect from Comic-Con this year, including the heavily anticipated New Moon panel–

“New Moon” (Thursday at 1:45 p.m., Hall H) — As anyone who owns the DVD has seen in the bonus features, “Twilight” mania erupted last year at Comic-Con, as the seemingly little-known film inspired die-hards to line up in record numbers. Now, San Diego is ready for “New Moon” mania, and our own Hollywood Crush will even be embedding a reporter to camp out with the Twilighters, providing up-to-the-minute experiences while waiting in line. As your home for all things “Twilight,” you can trust MTV to be all over this panel like Jasper Hale on Bella’s bloody finger. The cast of “Astro Boy” and “Sorority Row” will also be participating in the panel, answering such probing questions as “When will Robert Pattinson walk onstage?”

So, which of you NMM.org readers is going to be at Comic-Con this year?

Rachelle Lefevre–New Moon’s Victoria–has a new interview with the London Free Press where she talks about the director switcheroo between Twilight and New Moon. Rachelle says she felt better because this type of change had been proved effective with Harry Potter–

“It could have been bad,” Lefevre admits. “But I think because Harry Potter went through it first to their benefit, we were like, ‘The Potter kids went through a director shift and they were OK, so we’ll be OK, too.’

“And we were. Chris came in with such a clear idea of what the movie was. And he paid respect to what had come before — so it was kind of seamless.”

Rachelle LeFevre also gives an idea of how here character Victoria changes from the first movie of the Twilight Saga–

“In the first movie, because I didn’t have as much screen time, I wanted to be very clear. I wanted to convey energy and be very present, but also very playful. And that’s because (Victoria) enjoyed stalking Bella with James.

“But when James is killed, it becomes about exacting revenge, which comes from a totally different place. It’s not just a game any more.”

Twilight may see dawn of new love
