The stunning and amazing Anna Kendrick features in the January issue of Vanity Fair as one of the upcoming “openers” (upcoming actors).

January 2010: Anna Kendrick

Age: 24. Provenance: Portland, Maine. It’s a vampire world and we’re just dying in it: Kendrick made her name in the original Twilight movie—“I had no idea; none of us knew”—as mere mortal Jessica Stanley, “Bella’s friend from school.” She reprises the role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, in theaters now. And for the adults in the audience … Kendrick shines as George Clooney’s tightly wound underling in Jason Reitman’s well-timed dramedy about corporate cost-cutting, Up in the Air, which is already generating Oscar buzz. “I was shooting them both at the same time,” says Kendrick. “It was great because my character in Up in the Air is so rigid, and it was fun to go to Vancouver [to the set of New Moon] and play the silliest girl on the planet!”

She looks amazing and I wish her all the best in 2010…loving the shoes!!

Peter Facinelli (aka Carlisle Cullen) attended the 2009 Z100 Jingle Bell Ball Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  The Z100 Jingle Bell Ball is the official charity partner for the Food Bank of New York City, which works to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs through its citywide network of approximately 1,000 food assistance programs.

Great charity!  Love Peter! 

I wonder if Daddy C will catch Taylor Lautner tonight on Saturday Night Live!

Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Cullen) had his Converse low top Chucks customized by Punk Your Chucks.

We were recently hired to paint a pair of low top sneakers for Jackson Rathbone. Most of you know him as Jasper in the Twilight Saga movies. He LOVES his chucks and we are so excited to have worked with him. You can see Jackson wearing his new chucks while he is on tour with his band 100 Monkeys. Jerad and Ben G. of 100 Monkeys will also be wearing theirs.

After being in Los Angeles for a short time, Rathbone was cast in Disney 411, where he interviewed up-and-coming personalities like Hilary Duff and the sister duo Aly & AJ. He has also had guest roles on The O.C. and Close to Home. His movie roles include work in Molding Clay, Pray for Morning, and Travis and Henry. In 2008, he played Jasper Hale in the movie Twilight, based on the best-selling novel by Stephenie Meyer. Rathbone will be playing the role of Sokka in The Last Airbender, a 2010 film based on the animated series. In 2009, Rathbone played Jeremy in S. Darko. In addition to that role, he won kudos for his performance as a serial killer on Criminal Minds.

Jackson will reprise his role as Jasper Hale in the sequels to Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

Rathbone enjoys music, writing, singing and producing. He performs in a band called “100 Monkeys” with two friends that he met in high school at Interlochen Arts Academy, Ben Graupner and Ben Johnson. The band released two albums in 2009.

I WANT!  No!  I neeeeeeeeeed iiiiiiiiit!!!!!!    Oh how we’ve missed Jacksper!   *wink* Bean & Lali

Kristen Stewart’s upcoming movie The Runaways will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January as well as her other film Weclome to the Rileys.  Here’s a new photo and synopsis of The Runaways.

Of all the bands to come out of the 1970s Los Angeles music scene, The Runaways are by far the most uniquely fascinating. This is partially due to their music but more so to the fact that they were teenage girls whose wild and reckless lifestyle was the stuff of legend.

Focusing on the duo of guitarist/vocalist Joan Jett and lead vocalist Cherie Currie as they navigate a rocky road of touring and record-label woes, the film chronicles the band’s formation as well as their meteoric rise under the malevolent eye of an abusive manager.

Acclaimed video artist Floria Sigismondi directs from her own script and her luscious camerawork captures every sweaty detail—from the filthy trailer where the women practiced to the mosh pits of Tokyo. What really makes the film cook are the sizzling performances by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. Not to be missed, The Runaways is an ode to an era and a groundbreaking band.
