Here are some new/old photos of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke at the Rome Film Festival back in 2008. 

I love these photos of Rob!  Oh man!  I’m getting off the Team Riley train and drool over these photos of Rob. 

More after the break!

As we previously reported, MTV aired a Twilight special on Monday called Love Bites. Above are the 3 videos showing the entire segment!

I’ll warn you: There is A LOT of Robsten talk during the 30 mins, oh wait, that’s what it is about!! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! LOL

There is a lot of buzz over the internet as to whether or not Twilight director Catherine Hardwick outed Twilight Saga co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Here is an excerpt from her Time interview -

By all accounts, the chemistry between the two leads was intense, maybe too intense. “After I cast him, I told Rob, Don’t even think about having a romance with her,” Hardwicke says. “She’s under 18. You will be arrested.” It was the beginning of the real-life are-they-aren’t-they, did-they-didn’t-they speculation that is now an ongoing subplot of the Twilight story. “I didn’t have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say,” Hardwicke says. “But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn’t happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, O.K., I’ve got to give this a go and really try to be with this person.”

What do you guys think about what Catherine said? Angry? Ecstatic? Too much private info given out? Not enough? Let us know what you think below!

Check out the rest of Time’s awesome article, definitely worth reading as they touch base on how the Twilight movie came about. And they also talk about New Moon.

Twilight director Catherine Harwicke recently revealed that the other candidates to play Edward Cullen were while at  Twi Tour in Phoenix -

• Jackson Rathbone
• Ben Barnes
• Shiloh Fernandez

She also stated that she referred to them as Bachelor’s 1, 2, 3, and 4 (that is including Robert Pattinson!). As we all know, Jackson was cast in the movie as Edward’s brother, Jasper Hale.

What do you think? Loaded question I know! We obviously are very happy with Robert as Edward Cullen. Can  any of you see Jackson, Ben, or Shiloh as Edward?

Two of the actors from Twilight auditioned for roles in Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s upcoming modernized adaptation of Hamlet. Catherine won’t spill the beans on who, but she notes–

“We’re shooting at the same time as ‘Eclipse,’ ” Hardwicke explained. “So it has to be people with smaller parts [in that film], so that they can sneak over and do ours.”

Hardwicke also added that her Shakesperean stars could be “somebody who’s already been killed [in the 'Twilight' films by 'Eclipse'],” she explained, responding to a question about whether the dearly departed Cam Gigandet could be one of her candidates. “Exactly.

Who are you best guesses for which two Twilight alums will be in her version of Hamlet?

  A seat filler at the Teen Choice Awards wrote up an extremely detailed account of her experience at the Teen Choice Awards last night. Among the revelations were a list of things she learned at the Teen Choice Awards–

1. Robert Pattinson is hilarious. (technically, I already knew that, but I was proven correct)
2. Nothing impresses Kristen Stewart (except for Robert Pattinson)
3. Taylor Lautner is bigger and has whiter teeth in person.
4. Nikki Reed loves Ellen Degeneres
5. Kellan Lutz is so huge that it’s almost scary

The seat filler, Sara, was also quite impressed with Robert Pattinson last night, of course!–

Catherine wouldn’t keep her hands off of Rob! She always had a hand on him! Either on his chest of his arm or his leg! Ew! Rob would not stop talking! The guy wouldn’t shut up! The only reason I know this is because I was watching him instead of the show. It sounds creepy, but I don’t care. He kept talking and talking and talking! Not only that, he was making jokes! Kristen and Taylor were cracking up at things he said. He laughed with them and, let me tell you, the world becomes a better place every time that man smiles.

See the rest of Sara’s report over at TwiFans.
