Taylor Lautner: The ‘Rolling Stone’ Photos

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:26:43 +0000

Earlier today I posted the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine featuring Twilight star Taylor Lautner … but when I posted, Rolling Stone had yet to release any of the photos from Taylor’s photospread or any excerpts from his coverstory interview … they have since updated their site and released a whole slew of photos:

Additionally, the mag has released the online version of his coverstory interview … but who gives a shizz about that?!? Grab the smelling salts and clutch those pearls, y’all. After the jump, check out some of Taylor’s hawt Rolling Stone photos …

Just like Queerty says, these photos of a fully-dressed Taylor Lautner are FAR MORE attractive than those horrible photos of nekkid Levi Johnston in Playgirl magazine … no.doubt.whatsoever. These photos are … good. Wouldn’t you agree? Oh, for those of you who like to read magazines, you can read RS’s Taylor interview piece HERE.

Taylor Lautner Does ‘Rolling Stone’ Magazine

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:57:30 +0000

In early October we saw a BUNCH of great photos of Twilight star Taylor Lautner frolicking on a beach in Malibu, CA (with and without his shirt) for a photoshoot for Rolling Stone magazine. Today, we get our first look at Taylor’s RS cover:

Um … yeah … this is a very nice magazine coverphoto. It is, by far, Lautner’s highest profile magazine cover … and he looks great, no? Thus far, neither his Rolling Stone interview nor the accompanying photospread has yet been made available online … so we’ll just have to enjoy those candid beach photos of his shoot posted last month until the photospread gets released. I really like this coverphoto and I suspect members of Team Jacob will love it as well. What do y’all think?

Taylor Lautner Does ‘The Today Show’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:51:47 +0000

Taylor Lautner, star of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, was on hand to make an appearance on The Today Show on NBC earlier today in celebration of New Moon in Theaters day and did his best to bring his charming smile to all his eager fans … he even took the time to blow kisses to the folks in the audience:

And with this smooch to fans, Taylor and the entire Twilight family is hoping that you will rush out and see The Twilight Saga: New Moon in theaters today. Already, the movie set a new box office record for midnight showings last night taking in over $26 million already:

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has set a box-office record for midnight screenings. Summit Entertainment estimated Friday that it earned $26.3 million after opening early in the morning. That would topple the previous midnight record, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It earned $22.2 million this year. The Dark Knight from 2008 is third with $18.5 million. New Moon is the second installment of the popular Twilight series. It opened at midnight in 3,514 theaters with a per-theater average of $7,476. Paul Dergarabedian is a box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. He says the midnight start “portends an opening weekend that could be one of the biggest of the year. “

And so … Taylor and his Twilight cohorts have done everything they can to get your butts in theater seats. I know many of you have seen the film already (and are prolly planning to see it again) but are any of y’all planning on seeing New Moon this weekend? Do y’all think it will be the biggest money maker of the year?

‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Premieres In NYC

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:13:54 +0000

Last night, at a premiere event hosted by The Cinema Society and D&G, Twilight stars Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz were on hand at the Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in NYC, NY for the New York premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Last night’s mini-premiere screening event was the very last one before the film opened in theaters at the stroke of midnight. Entertainment Weekly spoke one last time to the cast and the principal stars gave their final thoughts on the film. Here are a few pics from the very fashionable red carpet:

Taylor Lautner was loyal to his wolfpack at the New York premiere of New Moon on Thursday night. Asked if vampires or werewolves were sexier, Lautner told EW: “That’s a hard question. They’re sexier in different ways. But, I mean, I’ll stay true to the pack. I’ll go werewolf.” Score one for Team Jacob. Lautner — and his co-stars including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz — continued the promotional whirlwind for New Moon at a Big Apple screening hosted by The Cinema Society and D&G. The stars might have been relieved that the New York event didn’t reach the fan frenzy of the Los Angeles premiere on Monday night — this low-key event was under the radar of most Twihards, attracting about 100 fans who stood patiently in the drizzling rain on Houston Street at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema. Notable audience members included Natalie Portman, Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr and Taylor Momsen, Howard Stern, Agyness Deyn, and Patrick Wilson. Lautner told us that he was happy to see Jacob’s role expanded in the sequel. “It was really exciting for me that Jacob has the opportunity to develop his relationship with Bella in this movie,” he said. “Really it’s setting up this entire series, which is this love triangle. So it was great to have them develop their relationship.” That also meant more bonding time on the New Moon set with Kristen Stewart. “Kristen and I have a very similar relationship to Jacob and Bella. We’re very open and honest with each other, we can tell each other things.” The pair probably won’t be sharing a row in your local cinema on Friday, though. Stewart was asked if she would be checking out release-day frenzy at a theater. “No!,” she said emphatically. But she did sound appreciative of all the attention directed at her character, Bella. “I think Bella is a really good role model. To be able to play her is just a serious honor.” Robert Pattinson had a guy’s guy approach when asked about how he chooses which suits to wear to his appearances. “I don’t know, I just see which one fits and see which one looks alright I guess,” the unshaven actor said. Director Chris Weitz joked that he had a hard time with the paparazzi. “They’re after me all the time. They just want pictures of me holding Rob’s hand,” he said with a laugh … Ma and Pa Cullen also spoke to us about how New Moon is a much different film than Twilight. “Twilight was like a 30-35 million dollar movie which is not cheap. But for sure, it feels a little more studio-based, this movie. It feels a little crisper, a little more epic,” Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen) said. “I liked the intimate feel of [Twilight] but I think that for New Moon this works better…Chris Weitz did a fantastic job with the special effects.” Elizabeth Reaser (Esme Cullen) agreed there was a “huge difference” between Twilight and New Moon. “I thought the first one was kind of big and crazy, and this is just different. It’s a whole other level.”

And that, folks, is that … the movie is OUT in theaters now and has been for the past few hours. I, like countless others, ventured out to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon last night only to discover — after my friend Amber and I were well sated, seated and ready for action — that I had purchased tickets to a re-showing of the original Twilight movie! OY!!! By the time we realized what was going on, it was too late to get tix for New Moon (which was WELL sold out) so, because of my dumb ass, we were forced to watch Twilight again last night. My dear Amber was SUCH A SWEET SPORT for finding humor in the whole thing … I, of course, wanted to find the nearest hole to crawl into and DIE! UGH. We did have a fun night out tho … but I’ll be venturing out, again, this afternoon to finally see New Moon. I’m sure a great many of you have already seen the movie by now … so is it all that? The Twilight Saga: New Moon is OUT … what are you waiting for?

Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner Do ‘Parade’ Magazine

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:41:11 +0000

Both Twilight heartthrobs Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are featured in separate interviews in the new issue of Parade magazine so whether you are on Team Edward or Team Jacob you can have your fill of awesome Twilightness. First up, here are excerpts from R. Pattz’s interview with Parade wherein he confesses that real love can be even more lethal than a vampire bite:

Robert Pattinson turned millions of females around the world into frenzied fans when they saw him heat up the screen in Twilight as the heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen. And the love continues as Pattinson returns in New Moon. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf got up close and personal with the devilish and charming 23-year-old superstar. Pattinson shared his thoughts on being romantically challenged and getting a handle on becoming an overnight celebrity.

The love bug bites the deepest.
“What’s interesting about this story is that it’s supposed to be about this all-powerful immortal creature. But he’s completely destroyed just by falling in love with this normal girl. He can’t control anything afterwards. His entire life turns upside down. So I guess love can be more lethal than a vampire bite.”

A new perspective on relationships.
“Getting involved in Twilight has definitely changed my mind about how people are kind of fanatical about wanting to have the perfect relationship. I had no idea that people were so desperate and felt like it was so unobtainable. They want to put this idea of unconditional devotion just so high above everything else, which is why they can’t get enough of this story.”

Advice to the lovelorn Bella.
“I keep wanting to tell people who think she should choose between Edward or Jacob that she should choose someone else. Jacob seems like the perfect viable option at the beginning of New Moon, but he turns out to be just as tortured as Edward is. So I guess Bella is just an unlucky girl.”

Breaking up was hard to do.
“There was something weird about doing that scene where Edward tells Bella he’s never going to see her again. Millions of fans see it as the ideal for a relationship. So breaking up the ideal relationship is pretty daunting. As for a breakup like that in my own life, I can’t think of one.”

And don’t ask him about being romantic.
“I don’t know, I can’t think of a single romantic thing I’ve ever done. That’s terrible. Wait. I put a flower in someone’s locker when I was 15-years-old. It was a girl named Maria. She thought it was somebody else that had done it and the other guy was trying to take credit.”

The scene where he almost took it all off.
“I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease. But here’s the irony, it was also one of the moments where I’ve really felt closest to people’s emotional attachment to Edward. There were so many extras in that scene who were Twilight fans who had flown in just to be a part of it. It was a moment where I’ve felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories. It was quite uplifting and it was also very nerve-wracking.”

Going head-to-head with Taylor Lautner.
“I didn’t see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting. I had the same reaction as everybody else. It’s like, ‘Jeez, now I have to go to the gym.’ Looking at Taylor’s martial arts videos from when he was nine, I wouldn’t really want to fight him for real unless maybe I had some kind of weapon. But in the story as it’s written, I think it’s actually a fact that Edward would win over Jacob. So I guess I can hold onto that for my ego.”

The good news (and the bad) about becoming famous.
“It’s a scary situation to be in, in a lot of ways. You really have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I could and I tried to make the best of it afterwards. But now you’re expected to come and provide, not only economic viability at the box office, but also a smashing performance as well. When no one’s watching your movies and you get a part, you can do whatever the hell you want. I don’t have that luxury anymore.”

What he has in common with Edward.
“I guess stubbornness in some ways about some things. Edward is pretty self-righteous, and I guess I am too. I get quite obsessive about things and possessive as well. I have very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived, to the point of ridiculousness sometimes. I don’t listen to anyone else. That’s why I don’t have a publicist. I can’t stand it if someone is trying to tell me to do something, even if it’s probably a mistake sometimes. I’m like a control freak about it. I’ve never really struggled with anything until recently. I’ve got to stop being so self-depreciating because people are starting to believe it. Like, ‘That guy is an idiot.’”

LOL … I love these answers … it’s starting to sound like Rob’s getting a bit tired of talking about Twilight but he’s really being a good sport about it all. After the jump, check out excerpts from Taylor Lautner’s interview with Parade to find out what he has to say about all the Twilight madness …

Taylor Lautner fought to hold on to the role of Jacob Black, Bella’s guy pal in New Moon. The 17-year-old needed to increase his body size to fit the role of the teenager turned werewolf in the second installment of the Twilight Saga. The first time you see him wearing nothing more than a pair of shorts, you’ll know he was up to the task. Lautner told Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf that as tough as it was to get ripped, competing with Edward for Bella’s affection was the real challenge.

It’s not easy being in the middle of a love triangle.
“Bella is pulled between these two guys who are completely opposite and mortal enemies. How do you choose? I honestly think it just depends on what kind of girl you are. I personally love Jacob and Bella’s relationship — how they begin as best friends and it starts to grow into something more. But both guys are always going to be there for Bella. So I guess it just comes down to what kind of guy you like — a werewolf or a vampire.”

So are he and Kristen really just best buds?
“We have a relationship that’s very similar to Jacob and Bella’s. We are very open and honest and can say anything to each other and that definitely helped during the filmmaking. I spent a lot time with Kristen because all of my scenes were involved with her. So she and I are very close.”

The big makeover.
“I had my eyes on the prize. My trainer was like a sculptor. He was going, ‘I want this bicep to peak more.’ He was very detail-oriented. The hardest thing was the diet I was on, while getting in the gym and pumping up was easy. I had to consume at least 3200 calories a day just to maintain my weight. Putting something in your mouth every two hours is difficult. I was going from meeting to meeting, so there was no time for eating. I literally would have to carry a little baggy full of beef patties, raw almonds, and sweet potatoes. I mean, it wasn’t like eating ice cream and cake every two hours.”

Well, he thought it was funny.
“Seriously, I start laughing so hard every time I see the scene where I take off my shirt to wipe the blood off Bella’s face after she crashes her motorbike. I’m like, ‘Oh, you’re bleeding, let me fix it.’ It was so embarrassing. But in other scenes, there’s a reason why Jacob is half-naked. When he transforms into a werewolf all his clothes get shredded. And he doesn’t need a lot to wear anyway because he’s also hot — his body temperature is literally 108 degrees.”

The downside of playing a hot guy.
“We were filming in the Pacific Northwest in March, so it was freezing. There’s a scene in the rain when it was like 35 degrees and it wasn’t real rain. They were spraying us from a rain tower, which came straight from a spring so it was ice-cold. All I was wearing was a pair of jean shorts and I was freezing to death. But, Jacob is hot, so he can’t look cold. That was the big challenge.”

The downside of being in the media spotlight.
“I try and stay away from what’s been written about me because if you let that stuff get to you and it’s not true, it can drive you crazy. One thing that I have heard recently which is not true, I didn’t say it, was that I will never take my shirt off for a movie again. If I have to, if the character requires it, I will. Who knows, in 10 years, I might do that or maybe gain 40 pounds.”

He’s getting used to weeping fans.
“A lot of them will just burst into tears, and that’s just moving. It’s like it must mean so much for them to meet us and it’s just, it’s an amazing feeling to know that you can touch somebody in that way. It also makes you sad and you’re going, ‘Don’t cry, please stop crying.’”

What’s he looking forward to in Eclipse.
“It was my favorite book, so I was really excited. I just love that it’s the height of the love triangle because Edward, Jacob and Bella are physically together. It has one of my favorite scenes ever when we’re all in a tent together. Bella is on the verge of hypothermia, so Edward let’s her sleep in my sleeping bag so she won’t die. I guess that’s the advantage of having a body temperature of 108 degrees. But, Edward is in the tent right next to us. It’s a funny scene.”

Looking ahead to passing the big one-eight.
“My upcoming 18th birthday will be a big day. As soon as I finish this press stuff for New Moon, maybe I’ll think about that. I’m having the time of my life, so it couldn’t be a better end to my teenage years. I’m doing what I love and I’m spending time with the people I love, so it’s great. I’m definitely never ever going to forget this time in my life.”

I totally think that Taylor’s got the rid attitude about everything. He still has his head on straight and I hope he keeps it that way. Regarding his 18th birthday, well, I think there are a lot of folks out there fervently counting down the days ’til he becomes legal. To be honest, I think Taylor comes off as the more charming of these two interviews … even tho both Rob and he gave great responses. Which of these two interviews do YOU prefer? Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Premieres In Knoxville

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:33:22 +0000

After almost everyone even remotely associated with The Twilight Saga was in attendance at the lavish Hollywood premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon in Westwood, CA on Monday night, principal stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner made their way to Knoxville, TN for another New Moon premiere last night. The Knoxville premiere was billed as a major charity fundraiser but it also allowed some Tennessean fans the opportunity to get up close and personal with a couple of their fave Twilight stars:

Fans lined up Tuesday night as Regal welcomed two stars of “New Moon,” the second movie in the highly popular “Twilight” series, in a benefit premiere. Stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner spoke to the media and signed autographs for fans on the red carpet. It was all hands on deck at the Regal Pinnacle 18 in Turkey Creek Monday. In addition to the regular theater staff, an extra crew of 75 people spent the day building props, setting up lights and making sure everything is perfect for the premiere. “The guest list includes mostly sponsors. That’s how the fundraiser is able to raise so much money,” says Russ Nunley, Regal Entertainment Group Vice President of Marketing and Communications. The proceeds benefit Variety, The Children’s Charity of Eastern Tennessee. “Variety is a non-profit organization that helps a lot of existing children’s groups do good work,” Nunley says. The money goes to programs for kids across East Tennessee. Last year, Regal raised more than $300,000. This year’s total will be announced at the premier. “I think everyone will be very pleased and even shocked at how much money can be raised by showing a movie one night here at the Pinnacle,” Nunley says. Winners for tickets to the screening were already selected and called for the opportunity to purchase two. “New Moon” opens for its first public screening at 12:01 a.m. Friday. But all 18 screens at the Pinnacle are already sold out for that time, so the theater has added a new 2:55 a.m. showing as well. This is Regal Entertainment Group’s seventh annual Tennessee benefit screening.

What a great event!! I am, again, very impressed with Kristen Stewart’s willingness to give so generously of her time to help raise funds for needy charities. As you may recall, she recently participated in an event to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes research and now this … well done, Kristen. She and Taylor both looked great on the red carpet last night … I’m sure the fine folks in Knoxville really appreciated their attendance last night. We are just a few days away from the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon in theaters … are y’all ready for the onslaught?

‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Premieres In Hollywood

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:34:24 +0000

Last night Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and many, many others were joined at Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, CA for the grand Hollywood premiere of the sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon. As you might expect, the premiere was a lavish and raucous event filled with hordes of screaming fans and the Twilight celebs on the red carpet eating up all of the attention. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night along with some deets on the event itself:

“Twilight” fans have taken over the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Thousands of fans filled the streets near UCLA on Monday, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite undead stars attending the evening premiere of “New Moon’ — the second film in the “Twilight’ vampire saga. Some “Twi-hards” — as they call themselves — arrived as early as Thursday afternoon to secure a place in line for tickets allowing them to watch the stars’ arrivals on the red carpet. The 800 available tickets were all distributed by Monday morning, but the line still stretched for blocks well after lunchtime. Nicole Zamora, 36, was sixth in line after getting to Westwood on Thursday afternoon. She and her three sisters wore “New Moon” T-shirts they’d made for the occasion and said they spent the weekend “reading, listening to the iPod and trying to sleep — anything to pass the time.” Christina Fuentes and four of her friends traveled from New Jersey for the “New Moon” premiere. The 24-year-old wore vampire teeth (”They just clip on,” she said) and carried a home-made sign that read, “We flew in from NJ! We’ve been camping out for three days just to see you!” She pasted her airline boarding pass to the poster as proof. They were number 313 in line, she said. The weekend warriors were rewarded with appearances by some “Twilight” stars. “Less than an hour ago we saw Peter Facinelli drive by on his Harley, looking hot,” said 19-year-old Kelley Metoyer, referring to the actor who plays the vampire patriarch in the series.

Metoyer had camped out with six friends since Friday Scores of other fans — mostly young women — crowded onto street corners near the Mann Village and Bruin theaters, where the premiere will be held. They sat on beach chairs, displayed homemade signs and wore T-shirts proclaiming their allegiance to Team Edward or Team Jacob — the handsome vampire (Robert Pattinson) and his werewolf rival (Taylor Lautner). Michelle Cueva carried a sign identifying her group as the “Twi-hard Grannies.” “We’re representing a different generation,” said the 38-year-old, who recently became a grandmother. She and her two friends said they “planned for a whole year” and took a vacation day from work to be part of the excitement, arriving in Westwood at 5 a.m. Monday. “You see it on TV, but to see it in real life, it’s crazy,” she said. “It’s worth it to have taken the day off.” Elizabeth Rios, 20, came to the “Twilight” premiere last year and won a spot on the red carpet. This year, she was on the sidewalk across the street from the theaters. “This is like three times as crazy as last year,” she said. But not everyone was excited about the “New Moon” premiere. “I’ve never seen so many Gothic 12-year-olds in all my life,” grumbled one man as he tried to make his walk through the crowded street. “New Moon” opens Friday.

LOL! I knew this premiere was going to be crazy but … wow … it sounds really crazy. I totally understand that some young women want to be part of the hoopla and choose to camp out for days to be a part of this craziness but I cannot, for the life of me, understand the fanatical mothers and grandmothers! I mean, seriously? You’re 50 years old and you want to fight for position on the sidewalk with a bunch of teenage girls just to get near a movie premiere? Really? That’s so weird. BUT … fans are fans, I suppose. After the jump, check out a couple pics of The Twilight Trinity posing for photos at the New Moon premiere after party …

Yeah, I bet these poor guys are really, really tired of all of this promotional craziness. My guess is that they have one more event to attend in NYC before the movie FINALLY opens in theaters on Friday. Are YOU ready?? The Twilight Saga: New Moon is almost upon us … at long last.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner Return To SoCal For The ‘New Moon’ Premiere

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:08:56 +0000

As some of you may be well aware, The Twilight Trinity made up of Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson spend most of the last week doing promo work at photocall/premiere events in Europe but this weekend they have returned home to SoCal to gear up for the big Hollywood premiere that will be happening in Westwood, CA tonight. Twilight fans in the area have been gearing up as well as hordes of rabid Twilighters have already begun to line up for prime spots for tonight’s premiere event. Here are a few pics of The Twilight Trinity as they made their arrival at LAX Airport and some deets about tonight’s much-anticipated premiere:

Fans of “Twilight” Sunday lined up in Westwood for Monday’s premiere of “New Moon.” Some fans came from as far away as Australia to be part of the vampire mania. The first person in line drove from Arizona and arrived Thursday morning. By Sunday morning, hundreds were camping out for Monday’s premiere at Mann’s Village Theatre and Bruin Theatre, and hoped to get a glimpse of the stars. The movie, based Stephanie Meyer’s series of “Twilight” novels, opens nationwide Friday. It stars 23-year-old Robert Pattinson as heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen; Kristin Stewart as Bella Swan; and Taylor Lautner as werewolf Jacob Black. The first film, “Twilight,” sold more $383.6 million in tickets worldwide and producers hope “New Moon” will outdo it. More than a week before its release, “New Moon” had sold more than four times as many tickets as “Twilight” at MovieTickets.com at the same point in the sales cycle, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Chances are that if you are reading this then you are prolly not waiting in line for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon tonight … and if you’re not in line by now, it’s prolly too late to get a prime spot. Nonetheless, the Hollywood premiere of New Moon will take place tonight and will surely satisfy the ardent fans who braved the cold last night in order to get close to these Twilight stars. I believe there will be an NY premiere event later on in the week … but tonight is all about Hollywood. Are y’all ready?

More Photos Of The ‘Twilight’ Trinity In ‘Entertainment Weekly’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:41:11 +0000

Yesterday we got our first look at the cover of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly which features the Twilight Trinity — Kirsten Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner — and today we get to see a whole bunch of great EW photos as well as another portion of their “3-way interview”:

In the Twilight sequel New Moon, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are at each other’s throats over Kristen Stewart. Off screen, all three are loyal friends. In a candid interview with this week’s Entertainment Weekly, they share thoughts on rumors, fans, moviemaking – and hair.

EW: How are you all coping with living in a fishbowl?
Pattinson: It really depends on the mood. When I met you last year [before Twilight came out], I was doing interviews very sporadically and I never got recognized. Now it’s like anywhere I go there’s immediate recognition. So there’s more of a responsibility…
Stewart: I don’t mind working every day. It’s just, suddenly, I have this other role. And that’s really disappointing. All I’d like to do is go outside with a book and figure out what to do with the day. And if I can’t do that, then I’m just going to sit in my hotel room on my balcony and chain smoke. [Pauses] I’m going to stop smoking. I’m not such a good smoker, anyway. It’s not in my bones. I’m gonna drop it.
Pattinson: The three of us have been working for two years [straight]. It does feel like your day has a shape just as soon as you wake up. I just forget what it’s like when you’re free.

EW: Taylor, you’re the only one who almost lost a shot at the sequels. Do you have a different relationship with fame because you had to fight for your job?
Lautner: No, I kept my eye on the prize 100 percent of the time. I was motivated. I wasn’t even thinking about anything else.
Stewart: Thank God you got the job. I wouldn’t have wanted to deal with you if you didn’t. After all those months of working out!
Lautner: I just wanted to focus on what I could control, and I worked really hard.

EW: You mean in the gym? Because I see your abs everywhere these days.
Lautner: Yeah, the gym was a major part, but I really studied the books and the character, too. And it all turned out good.

EW: Kristen, it must be nice to watch the guys’ appearances get obsessed over for a change.
Stewart: Seriously, it’s a trip to sit back and look at the sexual objectification of these dudes. I’ve never been asked to do any of this stuff.

EW: You guys are lucky. You clearly all dig each other.
Lautner: The amount of time we have to spend with each other – if I didn’t like these two, it would be exhausting.

EW: Rob, you made Remember Me this summer, between sequels. Was that the set in New York, where you were knocked into a cab by hordes of fans?
Pattinson: That was completely made up. I was walking across the street, and there was one cab going about one mile an hour and it nudged my leg. The story ended up being how I got hit by a cab because of a mob of screaming fans, [but] it was 4 o’clock in the morning and there was one person there – a paparazzi….And then there was another time – apparently they said on the news that I had a drug overdose. The security guy saw it on TV, and I wasn’t in my room, and he was like, “Uh-oh!” It’s just so weird. I wake up and my room is too messy to order room service, and so I end up eating a pack of M&M’s for breakfast – and it takes me about five hours to find it. That’s my first five hours of the day. [Laughing] And then you see the news and think, “Who cares if he had a drug overdose? It would probably make him more interesting!”

EW: Kristen and Rob, why do you think people are so obsessed with the state of your offscreen relationship?
Pattinson: Good question. That’s a little thing I have to think about every day.
Stewart: Maybe it’s just my personality, but I’m never going to answer it. I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about “Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f—ing give your whole life away? Can I have your firstborn child?”

EW: You don’t think just saying, for example, “Listen, we dated for a few months, it was weird, we’re better off as friends” would end the speculation?
Pattinson: No way.
Stewart: People are deeply judgmental and I’m not strong enough. I would love to be like, “I don’t care what anybody thinks.” But I’m a very private person. And think about every hypothetical answer: “Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.” I’ve thought about this a lot. There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like, “Fuck off.” I would answer the exact same way.”

Yeah, it’s a good thing these three get along … they’d prolly murder one another if they didn’t and still had to be on top of one another, figuratively speaking, all the time. After the jump, check out a few more pics of these three in the pages of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly …

I like the B&W pics … the interview is cute … now all we need is the damn movie to come out already!

Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Meet Their Spanish Fans

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:13:52 +0000

Yesterday we saw photos of the Twilight Trinity — Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart — at a photocall/premiere screening event in Madrid, Spain and today we get to see a few photos of the BFF castmates actually pressing the flesh with the rabid diehard Twilight fans who came out for the event … behold:

You may recall that the Twilight Trinity also spent some time gettin’ up close and personal with the fans in London as well … so it sounds like they are doing everything humanly possible to promote their new sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon as much as they can. After the jump, check out a few photos of these three making their exit from a restaurant in Madrid last night after their long day of promotion …

I love K. Stew’s t-shirt … it reads You Can’t Handle This. LOL … I’ll bet. These three still have a full week of promo work ahead of them … I hope that they can handle it.
