Robert Pattinson Bitten By A Lion

Filed under: Robert Pattinson,Twilight

Robert Pattinson had a lucky escape when he was bitten by a lion on the set of his new movie – the beast had no teeth.

The Twilight star plays a circus worker in Water for Elephants, and found himself shooting scenes with a variety of animals throughout filming.

And he had a nasty moment when a lion clamped its jaws around his arm – but the actor escaped unscathed because the “gentle” creature was merely being friendly.

Pattinson says

, “Almost every day I’m working with an exotic animal… It’s insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth. They were like, ‘It’s fine, he does it all the time.’ And I was like, ‘Erm, Ok…’ But they had to get him to do it harder, because he was being so gentle and just licking my arm.”

Twilight Stars Want Betty White For Breaking Dawn

Filed under: Betty White,Kellan Lutz,Robert Pattinson,Twilight

The stars and creator of the Twilight film franchise want beloved TV star Betty White to join them in the Breaking Dawn movies.

Kellan Lutz, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Reaser, Peter Facinelli and Julia Jones are among the vampires and werewolves who would love to welcome the Golden Girls star to the cast.

And even author Stephanie Meyer would like to see White as an elderly vampire villain.

Lutz says,

“I would love for them to do what they did in (film) Benjamin Button with her and she can be Renee (Sarah Clarke’s character) or Esme (Reaser’s character). I would change some scenes up so we could have Emmet (Lutz’s character) going for her. I want to work with her. That would be so much fun.”

And Reaser adds, “I’d love for her to be in Breaking Dawn. We could all learn a lot from her.”

While Jones suggests White could play Kirsten Stewart’s great-great-grandmother “in a flashback scene”.

But Twilight series author Meyer has a more sinister idea. She tells Eonline.com, “We have so many vampires in Breaking Dawn, surely she can fit in somewhere. Wouldn’t it be amazing if she was like just sitting there with a big group of the Volturi (vampire sect)? That would be amazing.”

White has experienced a career resurgence in recent months after she featured in a hilarious U.S. Snickers bar commercial during the Super Bowl telecast.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner To Earn $25 million for ‘Breaking Dawn’

Filed under: Kristen Stewart,Robert Pattinson,Taylor Lautner,Twilight

The stars of “Twilight” have landed a bloody huge pay check for the final two movies in the teen vampire series.

According to New York magazine, Summit will pay Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner an unprecedented $25 million each against 7.5 per cent of the theatrical gross for starring in parts one and two of “Breaking Dawn.”

Though “Eclipse” is on its way to making more than “New Moon’s” box office haul of $710 million, if “Breaking Dawn” earned as much as “New Moon,” 7.5 per cent of that would mean the stars could add another $16 million to their salary for a total of $41 million.

According to box office guru Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com, the Twi-stars have landed in Will Smith territory.

“A $20 million pay day was typically reserved for A-list stars back in hey day of big salaries,” he told the Daily News. “This proves the point that [these days] the star doesn’t make the box office, the box office makes the star.”

Though RPattz, TayTay and KStew are not thought of as A-listers, Dergarabedian says the last three “Twilight” movies have made around $1.5 billion globally.

“Their box office is huge and they are essential to the success of these films,” he says.

And the success continues. “Twilight: Eclipse” took in an impressive $82.5 million during the Fourth of July weekend, raising its total box office haul to $175.3 million in just six days.

The third film in the “Twilight” series earned the second biggest opening day ever on Wednesday when it earned $68.5 million.

Filed under: Robert Pattinson,Sports News

Robert Pattinson might want to rethink his soccer talk after confessing he’s cheering on Team U.S.A. in the World Cup at the Twilight premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

The British actor was asked about the success of his national side England, who have joined the Americans in the last 16 of the tournament in South Africa – and his answer will chill the hearts of fans back home.

He said,

“I’m kinda more fired up by the American team, to be honest. I shouldn’t say that. Jeez, that’s terrible.”

Pattinson: ‘Kissing Kristen Was Easier For Eclipse’

Filed under: Kristen Stewart,MTV,Robert Pattinson,Twilight

Robert Pattinson has further fueled speculation he and Twilight girlfriend Kristen Stewart are dating for real by confessing it’s becoming easier to kiss the actress.

The couple has refused to entertain rumors of a real-life romance away from the cameras, but Pattinson and Stewart constantly poke fun at the dating reports – most recently sharing an awkward lip-lock at the MTV Movie Awards.

And now Pattinson admits kissing Stewart isn’t as strange as it was in the first two Twilight films.

He says,

“Kissing felt a little bit more natural in Eclipse, even if there was plenty of it.

“In New Moon and Twilight, it was always like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill you if I kiss you’ or something. It was always kind of odd. But, in this one, they (characters Bella and Edward) both understand their situation a lot more, which makes it easier. It’s the first time Kristen and I have been able to just act like a normal couple.”

Robert Pattinson’s Death Fears

Filed under: Robert Pattinson,Twilight

Robert Pattinson is convinced he will die by the age of 30 because he has already achieved so much success at such a young age.

The British actor landed a part in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when he was a teenager, but shot to international stardom in 2008 when he was handed a leading role in the Twilight franchise.

He’s since scooped a string of awards for his portrayal of bloodsucker Edward Cullen in the vampire movies – but the 24 year old admits he is worried that fame will one day cost him his life.

In an interview with news show Nightline, which aired on Monday night, he says

, “I guess I just thought if too many good things happen, then you’re going to die at 30.

“I didn’t want that to happen. Yeah, so probably, I’m going to die at 30. Actually, it’s God saying, ‘Hey, you shouldn’t have asked for too much’.”

Ashley Greene: ‘Lutz Is Hotter Than Pattinson’

Filed under: Ashley Greene,Kellan Lutz,Robert Pattinson,Twilight

Twilight star Ashley Greene can’t understand why women fuss over co-star Robert Pattinson when her other movie brother, Kellan Lutz, is the best-looking guy on set.

The actress admits she has never been attracted to Brit Pattinson, but has considered a romantic hook-up with Lutz and sometimes wishes they weren’t such good friends – because they could be great real-life lovers.

She tells Seventeen magazine,

“When I met Rob, I didn’t think twice about him. He’s really attractive, but that chemistry wasn’t there.

“He gets a lot of attention from them (girls), but he doesn’t quite understand it because, before Twilight, he was just a guy from Harry Potter.”

Greene admits she has always had a soft spot for Lutz and when asked if she’s ever romanced the actor, she says,

“I’ve definitely thought about it.

“(We’re) best friends… and filming together has made us even closer. He’s one of my best friends, but if we were going to be romantic, we would have done it years ago.

“I like having him to talk to about other guys to get that male perspective. I really cherish our relationship, so I wouldn’t want to mess that up by dating.”

Wouldn’t want to be in the room next time old Ashley runs into R Patz!

Glee star Lea Michele has apologized to a photographer after she rudely dismissed him at a gala on Tuesday.

Photographer Patrick McMullan asked the actress for her name after taking her picture at the Time 100 Gala – but the brunette is said to have responded by rolling her eyes and naming other celebrities at the event, including country star Taylor Swift and former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Now Michele is hoping to make amends with McMullan after reports of the incident began circulating.

In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, Michele writes,

“Big apology to PatrickMcMullan. Totally didn’t expect you (or anyone) Time 100 to know who I was w/ (with) all the amazing people there.

“(I) made a silly joke that didn’t go over, so sorry. It was such an incredible night and I was beyond honoured and thrilled to be there.”

Michele was one of 100 stars, including Swift, Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John and Robert Pattinson, who attended the dinner to celebrate America’s Time magazine editors naming them as the most influential people in the world.
