New Moon’s Alice Cullen– Ashley Greene in real life–was out on doggy duty looking cute as a button last week. It looks like she’s sporting an adorable new haircut, as well!
Check out all the pics at GossipCenter. She recently revealed to the NY Beauty Secrets Examiner that–
In your opinion, what makes someone beautiful?
I think a lot of what makes someone beautiful is how a person presents themselves. I was talking to someone the other day about how I find French woman so beautiful… it’s something they possess inherently. I feel like when someone has a zest for life they come off vibrant and beautiful.

Here are some great action shots of the Vampire Baseball that took place this weekend in Portland.
New Moon vamp Edi Gathegi was pitching the ball and nearly clipped Peter Facinelli, causing Peter to lose his balance. A hilarious fake fight ensues!
Also–New Moon wolfman Alex Meraz looks great in baseball gear and bad vamp Rachelle LeFevre celebrates!
Check out the whole set at Loolith’s Flickr page.

It seems like the horseplay–or shall we say, wolfplay–from the Vampire Baseball event between New Moon stars Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon wasn’t a first. In a video from a fan event before the baseball began, Alex reveals that Kiowa “punched me in the nose”, and then shows off the damage!
Check out the video after the cut to see Alex’s new nose dent, and check out the rest of the vids from the event on Nalwave’s YouTube channel .

The Sunday Paper from Atlanta has a new interview with Peter Facinelli where he dishes on a scene he’s really looking forward to in New Moon–
Are there any scenes from the books that you hope make it into the films? For “New Moon,” there’s a scene with Bella (Kristin Stewart) where I stitch her up. I was excited to shoot that scene because it was a pivotal scene. It kind of sets up the whole reason why Rob’s character doesn’t want to change her into a vampire. I hope it stays in the movie because I feel like it’s essential and it’s a really nice scene for Carlisle and Bella; it’s an intimate thing. It’s a scene where a lot of information is being given and it shows another side of Carlisle, a soft side of him that I like. I’d be bummed if that was out.
Read more about Peter’s Twitter impersonator–let’s call him Peter Fakeinelli–as well as what it’s like to be photographed by the paparazzi on the Sunday Paper website.

New Moon megastar Robert Pattinson continues filming Remember Me in New York after the holiday weekend. Check out all the new pics from today from Celebrity-Gossip and Splash News.
Numerous gossipy sources are reporting that the Rob isn’t too happy in NYC though–
“He’s embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He’s afraid that if he gives a hand, they’ll take the whole arm. He’s being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn’t even look up anymore.”
This is certainly believable given the intense scrutiny he’s been under in the Big Apple, but the “unnamed source” may just be an imaginative gossip writer giving voice to the most dreaded thoughts of us fans.

A scruffylicious Kellan Lutz–Emmett in New Moon–was seen at an Independence Day celebration yesterday in Southampton, NY with AnnaLynne McCord.
