Robert Pattinson Bulking Up For Breaking Dawn?

Robert Pattinson as Tyler Hawkins in "Remember Me" (2010)


Are you hungry for a muscilicious Robert Pattinson? It might just be on the menu!

Hey ClevverTV peeps! I'm your girl Dana Ward here in Beverly Hills contemplating a slim Pattinson or a buff Robert... This dilemma comes after the story hit that Twilight Saga producers apparently asked RP to bulk-up for Breaking Dawn. It does somewhat make sense because now reports are coming in that Pattinson has been busy consuming a protein-rich diet. He's been spotted regularly visiting the UK restaurant chain Nandos and chowing down on the peri peri chicken dish.

California Temaki Sushi
Here’s sushi that is fun to make at home as it doesn’t need to look perfect. Hand-rolled cones of nori (Japanese seaweed) are folded around fillings – like wrapping a bunch of flowers – and eaten with bowls of wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger. Serve as an appetizer or increase the quantities and arrange the ingredients on dishes, for guests to assemble their own DIY party starter.

1 tbsp sushi vinegar pinch of salt
1 tsp caster sugar 5 1/2 oz (150 g) short-grain sushi rice, pre-washed
10 fl oz (300 ml) water 4 nori sheets, cut in half
1/4 tsp wasabi paste 8 tsp appropriate version of Mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves, torn into 1 in (2.5 cm) pieces 8 large king prawns, cooked and peeled
8 tsp flying fish or salmon roe 2 in (5 cm) piece of cucumber, deseeded and cut into matchsticks
1/4 avocado, cut into 8 slices and tossed in lemon juice to prevent browning

Five-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

"In my third or fourth year of life I ate my first restaurant meal, at the Steak 'n Shake on Green Street near the University of Illinois campus. I dined on a Steakburger, french fries, and a Coke. I felt extremely important. The eyes of the world were on this capable little man, sitting on a stool at the counter, grasping a Steakburger in his hands and opening up to take the first bite. If I were to take President Obama and his family to dinner and the choice were up to me, it would be Steak 'n Shake--and they would be delighted. If the Pope were to ask where he could get a good plate of spaghetti in America, I would reply, "Your Holiness, have you tried the Chili Mac or the Chili 3-Ways?"

A downstate Illinois boy loves the Steak 'n Shake as a Puerto Rican loves rice and beans, an Egyptian loves falafel, a Brit loves banger and mash, an Indian loves tikki ki chaat, a Swede loves herring, a Finn loves reindeer jerky, and a Canadian loves bran muffins. These matters do not involve taste. They involve a deep-seated conviction that a food is absolutely right, and always has been, and always will be. These convictions are fixed at an early age. I do not expect to convert you.
My father said it was not for the likes of me. He liked a dash on his Chili 3-Ways. I would watch in awe as he sprinkled it on, and took his first taste. There were none of the masochistic cries of pain associated with hot sauce daredevils. He would simply glance at me sideways and elevate his eyebrows a fraction. You see why as a film critic I am so alert to the subtle nuances of acting. Source: blogs.suntimes.com

Cherie Currie being true to herself - "The Runawys" new stills

Cherie Currie showing a cherry tattoo on her shoulder.

PRESS: What was your reaction to hearing that Dakota Fanning was going to be cast to play you in the film?

CURRIE: I almost hit the ground. My knees literally buckled. I screamed, I screamed and danced around like a crazy person, and broke into tears. I couldn’t believe it because she is really my favorite actress of all time. It was the happiest day of my life, besides the birth of my son.

PRESS: So are you pleased with how the film [turned out]?

CURRIE: Dakota, Kristen, Michael … I mean, the acting is phenomenal. It’s beautifully shot. Of course, you know, I lived it. It was two years of hell and triumph and all that, and how do you possibly put that into an hour and a half? You can’t. It really could have been an epic. It could’ve been like the Twilight series, you know, The Runaways series. (Laughs.) It could have.
PRESS: One of the scenes that really struck me in the movie was when the rest of the band got angry at Cherie for taking those provocative magazine pictures, even though Kim had tricked her into it. How can female artists gain respect for their music, while still embracing and owning their sexuality, which is part of their image and power?

CURRIE: Well, I think the only way that you could do that is to be true to yourself. If that’s what you reflect naturally, if that’s who you are naturally, the truth cannot be denied. The people that go out there and pretend - it’s a joke. You can tell someone who isn’t true to themselves right off the bat".

Will Prince of Persia break the videogame curse?

"From Super Mario Bros. to Street Fighter, from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to Resident Evil: Degeneration, movies based on videogames have never turned out well. (And that’s not even mentioning Uwe Boll.)

Walt Disney Pictures believes it’s about to buck the trend. On May 28, the studio will release Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, based on the 2003 installment of the videogame series created by Jordan Mechner. At WonderCon in San Francisco last weekend, the studio cranked up the hype machine to full blast, bringing out Mechner, producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean), director Mike Newell and leading man Jake Gyllenhaal to plug the film.

Is all this Hollywood talent the key to breaking the curse of the videogame movie?

Robert Pattinson has a special bond with Kristen Stewart


'I propose A LOT though ' Access Hollywood Interviews Robert Pattinson


Robert and Kristen about Kristen's cat :P

"The are they, aren't they story of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's possible romance has been going on for so long now that even they seem to be getting a bit confused.
According to Showbiz Spy, Robert said of Kristen: "We have a special bond together, she is the sweetest, smartest and strongest girl I know."

At which point we fully expected him to declare his love for the sullen Twilight star.
Instead Robert went on: "If we have a relationship I would rather not say, because my words get twisted around too much and can be 'old news' by the time this interview is printed."

Well, that's as clear as mud then.
And the British actor seems to have gone from not being able to get a girlfriend to being a little on the picky side, because he added: "I've been linked to a lot of actresses in Hollywood, most of them I find too silly and shallow that I would not want to date them." Source: celebrity.aol.co.uk

Kristen Stewart has admitted she loves Robert Pattinson.

"The 20-year-old actress - who stars alongside the British heartthrob in 'The Twilight Saga' movies - said she feels strongly for her co-star because he has a childish side.

She said: "I love Rob because he always wants to be the best. He can be very childish. When Rob does something right or wins something he talks with a different, little voice - like a five-year-old.
"Rob is sexy, in a tortured artist way. This might be because he is British. He's tall, looks like he is thinking all the time and is incredibly funny.

"I love the way he sings. It breaks my heart. And don't you think he's just gorgeous? Rob's also a very bad liar, he just can't do it!"
She told the News of World newspaper: "He asked me to marry him. As a joke, though. Well at least I think so."
The couple have been rumoured to be in a relationship since they first met on the set of the vampire movies, but have never officially been seen together, despite rumours they were going to reveal their status at this year's BAFTA Awards.

Speaking at London's Grosvenor House Hotel at a post-BAFTAs dinner this year, Robert said: "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans, it goes crazy."

“Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” Featurette Featuring Jake Gyllenhaal


“Prince of Persia: Sands of Time” Featurette Featuring Jake Gyllenhaal



Jake Gyllenhaal believes fans of the Prince of Persia games will like the movie version.

Jake, who stars as lead character Prince Dastan in the adaptation, claims the movie has kept true to the original game while also making it relevant for a new audience by “elaborating” on the story.
“I’ve no doubt there will be a whole mix of ideas about the movie because everybody plays the game. The great thing about video games is you get to do it yourself, and this is another person’s version of it,” he told ComingSoon.net.

“I think we’ve done incredible action, we’ve really paid attention to the video game and elaborated on things that make this story fantastic,” he added. “I mean, huge action, a lot of the same moves you use and can use in the video game but also based in reality and believably done in the film which I think creates more suspense. I think they’re really going to like it.”
