'Twilight' trio to have hands and feet immortalized in cement. Whose imprints have you snapped?

Only about 250 stars have been honored with an imprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, a tradition that began with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks in 1927. On Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. PT, Twilight stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner will get their chance to put their hands and feet in cement. If you’re looking for another reason to say the Harry Potter franchise is better than Twilight, you’ll be happy to know Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint had that pleasure in 2007. But what we’re more interested in: Whose imprints did you photograph on your first trip to Los Angeles? Don’t even try to pretend you didn’t take your camera out for someone. I went through old photos recently and was surprised to find snapshots of Gene Kelly’s and Sylvester Stallone’s. Your turn.

Is Rob Pattinson punk enough for a Green Day movie?

The new Pop-Up Video isn’t just for music nostalgia anymore. A recent episode of the resurrected VH1 staple featured Green Day’s “21 Guns,” and the bubbled-up footnote that Billie Joe Armstrong once named Rob Pattinson as his top choice to play the lead in the cinematic adaption of the American Idiot musical proved enough to fire up the Internet today. To be accurate, it seems as if Armstrong told Spinner.com back in 2009 that Pattinson and Ellen Page were the perfect couple to play Christian and Gloria, the lead characters from their followup album, 21st Century Breakdown. “He’s a good actor. There’s still more to come with that kid,”he said.

But no matter. Two years later, Pattinson remains a pretty solid choice for either role. READ FULL STORY »

Last season on Parks and Recreation, a deranged Twilight super-fan handcuffed himself to a pipe in Leslie Knope’s office until she agreed to include the books in the Pawnee town time capsule. Was his behavior excessive? Possibly. Either way, Twilight fans have more than earned their ferverous reputation over the years. They’ve even been popularly rechristened with an all-encompassing moniker: the Twi-hard.

Well, now the mighty mighty Twi-hard have a designated place of their own to share their fond vampiric memories. Summit Entertainment has launched the “Twilight Time Capsule,” an interactive site where fans can upload photos, videos, and comments about their personal experiences with the series.

Fright Night (1985) vs. Fright Night (2011): Why the update's far more old-fashioned than the classic

Image Credit: Disney/Dreamworks

Real men do not read Twilight.

That’s what high school kid Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) tells his nerdy, vampire-obsessed friend Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) in the 2011 update of the campy horror classic Fright Night. What he’s really saying is clear: this is not going to be one of those romantic vampire movies where some pale, skinny guy messes around with a pretty young promise-ring type but refrains from sticking it in her (his tooth, that is).

And Charley’s right. The vampire in this movie (a bloodlicker named Jerry, played by real-life nighthawk Colin Farrell) is not a moral guy. Living on the outskirts of Las Vegas, he’s a stripper-torturing, teenage-girl-perverting, Real Housewives of New Jersey-watching fang-banger who preys on single moms and brags to the cops that he’s making the local women scream every night. (Read EW’s excellent defense of Jerry’s horrible, disgusting mercilessness here.)

So what’s that bad boy doing in such a conservative movie? After the jump, we’ll discuss why this sexier, bloodier update is actually far more old-fashioned than the 1985 original. WARNING: There are tons of major spoilers below. Plus, “Edward Cullen” and “chastity belt” are used very close together. Read at your own risk.

This Week's Cover: Fall Movie Preview!

In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, the stars of November’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 discuss how they approached key scenes in the film, from the tense walk down the aisle to the pillow-shredding honeymoon, to the bloody, ghastly climax. But you don’t have to be a Twihard to enjoy EW’s Fall Movie Preview, which dishes on the biggest and best films opening before the end of the year. Some highlights:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s stars talk about adapting the massive bestseller to the screen, and Rooney Mara, who plays Lisbeth Salander, discusses the risqué, topless ad for the film that recently caused a stir.

Brad Pitt reveals the particular challenges of turning Michael Lewis’ 2003 book Moneyball into a movie. “Listen, we’re dealing with economics, we’re dealing with [statistics-driven] sabermetrics, we’re dealing with things that are not necessarily dramatic cinematically and palatable for an audience. Even Michael Lewis said to us, ‘Sure, I’ll sell you the rights. I don’t know how you’re going to make a movie out of it…’”  READ FULL STORY »

Teen Choice Awards: 'Harry Potter' tops 'Twilight' in contest that makes non-teens feel old and cranky

Dracula must be spinning in his grave.

The Teen Choice Awards create a “choice vampire” category, and the winner is Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse?  He beat Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley from The Vampire Diaries (which won five other awards), and Twilight co-star Nikki Reed — okay, fine whatever. But, but … he also bested Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric Northman from True Blood?

Nice going, teens.

Okay, deep breath … Maybe the target demographic for the Fox awards show shouldn’t exactly be watching the hyper-sexualized, ultra-violent True Blood, so let’s just chalk this travesty up to inexperience.

Nothing against the girl, but this is the award show where Selena Gomez gets five awards for things like choice female hottie (oh, good Lord). She also won choice TV Comedy Actress, Choice Music Single, Choice … Okay, enough with the “choice already.” She also won best love song and musical group, for her band The Scene.

Rebecca Black, who became famous this year because her song Friday, like the flu, spread quickly around the globe due to how bad it was, won “choice web star.” Obviously, these ain’t the Peabody Awards.

The big showdown was supposed to be between Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Parts 1 and 2 and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, but then it seemed like they were all getting awards, based on genre, or the season their movie came out.

Taylor Lautner builds his own 'Field of Dreams' for the locked-out NFL players

Tags: ,

In Field of Dreams, the eight damned Chicago White Sox who were suspended from baseball for gambling on the 1919 World Series were resurrected in Kevin Costner’s Iowa cornfield. Now, with the NFL work stoppage, FunnyOrDie has discovered that Taylor Lautner is also hearing voices. “Are you ready? … For some football?” Take a look what happens when out-of-work players have too little to do. Maybe there is a silver lining to this labor strife after all. READ FULL STORY »

What will Bella's Carolina Herrera wedding dress look like?

twilight

If you’re a Twi-hard, then you understand that every ounce of Breaking Dawn news is like lion to a lamb. And in the latest announcement (via Twilight‘s official Twitter page), Summit Entertainment revealed that Bella’s wedding dress has been designed by couture queen Carolina Herrera. We saw mere glimpses of the white dress in the recently released trailer — lace! a strapless cut! — so we took a look at Herrera’s previous bridal creations to see what design elements Bella could wear come Nov. 18.
