“I’ve absolutely thought I’ve been sure of something and then been told that I was just dead wrong so I can totally relate to that” Kristen told Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson of a past real-life break-up at the “New Moon” junket in Los Angeles on Friday.And while she wouldn’t discuss the status of her relationship with co-star Robert Pattinson, she did answer a question on who would make a better spouse — Robert or Taylor Lautner.“I’m sure they would both be great husbands”, she said. “Taylor is like one of the most steady [people] — he’s really just a good guy. And then if you’re into…Rob is really a more, sort of analytical, thoughtful, like wishy-washy intellectual so it depends.”Kristen, however, wouldn’t reveal what she herself was into.
“If I give the answer away, it’s not like it would make my life easier”, she said. “People want [to know], and I understand, especially when you have two characters that are so coveted like this. But I’m going to protect myself.” Source: www.accesshollywood.com
Robert Pattinson - "New Moon" Press Conference, on 6th November 2009.
Q: Appearing in most of the movie as only a series of visions, did you feel disjointed from your cast mates at all? Did you wish you were in more of the film?Rob: Those scenes were the hardest scenes. They weren't really, at the time, but after I saw the first cut of the movie, they changed them quite a bit in the edit and ADR. It's not Edward. It's a manifestation of Bella's loneliness and desperation. It was always very difficult. I asked Kristen, "How would you play it?" It's her opinion, so that was hard. As for being alone, I've always felt a little bit aloof as the character, throughout the whole series. I think that's how he is, so I didn't feel any different.Q: What was it like to film that break-up scene between Edward and Bella?Rob: There's something weird about it. One of the main things I felt doing that and what really helped was people's anticipation of the movie, and the fans of the series' idea about what Bella and Edward's relationship is and what it represents to them. It's some kind of ideal for a relationship. And so, just playing a scene where you're breaking up the ideal relationship, I felt a lot of the weight behind that. Also, it took away a fear of melodrama. It felt seismic, even when we were doing it. It was very much like the stepping out into the sunlight scene, at the end. You could really feel the audience watching, as you're doing it. It was a strange one to do.Q: Have you ever had your heart broken, like Edward does when he leaves Bella?
Rob: No, I don't think so.Q: What were your thoughts while you were filming that scene in Italy, where Edward reveals himself in the sunlight?Rob: I just came to a realization about that scene. It was one of the closest moments I really felt to people's emotional attachment to the character because there were so many extras there who were just Twilight fans, who had flown in to be in the town square. Just taking that one step into the light, it's been the one moment, since the first Comic-Con, where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation and responsibility to all the people who are so obsessed with the stories. It was a good moment. It was very nerve-wracking, but I probably felt the most in character that I've ever felt, throughout the whole series, at that moment.Q: If there was a fight between Edward and Jacob, who would win?
Rob: I don't know. I think it's actually a fact that Edward would win, if I read the books correctly. So, I guess I can hold onto that, for my ego.Q: What personality traits do you share with Edward?Rob: I guess stubbornness, in some ways, about some things. He's pretty self-righteous. I get quite obsessive about things, and possessive as well". Source: www.reelempire.com
Q: Have you heard of a start date on the fourth film, Breaking Dawn? Is there any truth to the rumor that it might be two films?
Kristen: I don't know.
Q: How do you relate to the idea of being immortal?Kristen: I can only relate to that as Bella can, because she is still human. The way that I consider immortality, from both my perspective as Kristen and my perspective as Bella, is that it's so completely unknown, but given the right motivating factor, I'd be willing to explore it. Bella is very willing to acknowledge that she doesn't know, but that she's willing to give it a chance because of Edward, and because she's willing to sacrifice anything for him. A big thing for Bella is change. She's so terrified of change because she's been thrust into this world. Basically, if you're facing something that is completely unknown, but you're willing to take everything that is hard about it because of what you might get, that's hope. That's people. That's why we get up, every day. Immortality is almost more scary, in our story, than mortality. To live forever seems like a really cool thing on the surface, but in our story, it's terrifying and it means taking your soul, at least to Edward. It's about the lines of personal belief, theology and your faith, and what you think is going to happen after you die. These are things that we think about incessantly in the movie, and they're things that Edward and Bella argue about.Q: How did you balance playing Bella with playing a character like Joan Jett?
Kristen: I can only play characters that I feel like are real people, in a complete way, and in such a whole way that, if I fake any aspect of it, I will have failed them and, literally, they're slaughtered. It's like they don't exist anymore, unless I do it. So, in terms of approaching parts, it just happens.Playing Joan Jett had nothing to do with Bella. It was a small period of time that I had to do it, but it was an opportunity that I jumped on because it was going to go away if I hadn't. I would've liked more time.Q: You talked about Bella being a good role model for young girls, and yet she seems willing to sacrifice everything for Edward. She gets depressed about a love affair that ends and becomes an adrenaline junkie who's trying to kill herself, in a way. Are you worried about 12- or 13-year-old girls watching this and getting a terrible idea of what that's like?Kristen: It's a very extreme story. I think people take to this story who are more mature than that. The only way that I can justify that, and maybe I'm an immature girl as well, is that I really feel like, if you feel like you need to do it, then do it, with anything. After you're told that you've made a mistake and that you're wrong, if you're willing to say that you made a mistake and that you were wrong, and that you're going to try the next thing, there's nothing to be ashamed of, at all. Be extreme. Go for it. I think that's the point. I know this is a movie about immortality, but you only live once". Source: www.reelempire.com

Emile Hirsch & Jeff Tweedy
Jeff Tweedy (frontman of Wilco).Emile Hirsch.
Do you remember when I compared Jake Gyllenhaal with singer/songwriter Jeff Tweedy here? Actually, I just compared both's style more than their physical appearance (Jake doesn't look like Jeff at all). Seeing this recent cover of Emile Hirsch in GQ Style Italy:
I think he's so similar to Wilco's lead in this picture!Jeff Tweedy (Wilco in concert).
Jeff Tweedy: "I think art is a consolation regardless of its content. It has the power to move and make you feel like you're not alone. And ultimately that's what everybody wants to know".

100 Best Films of the Decade
There are two films with Jake Gyllenhaal in the Best Films of this Decade list!100. The Devil Wears Prada (David Frankel, 2006)
Meryl Streep begins her own populist career reinvention (soon to be followed by Mamma Mia!) by playing a tyrannical and thinly disguised version of Vogue editor Anna Wintour in this satirical yet soft-centered account of life among the fashionistas.68. Memento (Christopher Nolan, 2000)
Formally intricate and expertly executed, Memento is a devious brainteaser of a film. Guy Pearce is a haunted man doomed by short-term memory loss to live forever in the present, who carries clues to his past in the tattoos on his body.
53. Milk (Gus Van Sant, 2008)
“Best Actor” winner Sean Penn, surrounded by firebrand talent including Emile Hirsch and Josh Brolin, stars in a timely movie that brings the selfless (and ultimately fatal) activism of gay campaigner Harvey Milk to the mainstream. Released, ironically, just as California passed the anti-gay-marriage bill Section 8.
20. Donnie Darko (Richard Kelly, 2001)
Head-tripping sci-fi goes to high school in an Eighties-set psychological thriller with dark Lynchian overtones. Jake Gyllenhaal plays the titular teen — a possible paranoid schizophrenic who may just have the key to time travel.17. Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005)
This achingly sad love story gave Heath Ledger a chance to explore hitherto unsuspected depths. It’s a hugely powerful performance — his inarticulate yearning is almost painful to watch.16. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry, 2004)
Testing the limits of narrative convolutions and visual technique, Gondry directs an ingenious script about memory-wiping. A central tempestuous romance between Jim Carrey’s Joel and Kate Winslet’s Clementine, however, is never once overshadowed.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman in "The Danish Girl"
Jake Gyllenhaal and Gwyneth Paltrow at "Proof" TIFF premiere, on 12th September 2005.
Jake Gyllenhaal with Kate Bosworth at MTV Movie Awards, on 1st June 2003.
"I’ve finally got the full Star Magazine article about Chris Martin cheating on wife Gywneth Paltrow with Kate Bosworth. The news of this alleged affair came out on Tuesday, and it’s been simmering ever since. While both Gwyneth’s and Chris’s reps are out there, giving “this is so ridiculous” quotes to anyone who will listen, most of the gossip sites are running with “insider” quotes about how Chris and Gwyneth’s marriage is totally on the rocks. X17 even ran this hilariously exquisite bitchy quote from a source: “Chris is totally Kate’s type, she loves the Brits like Orlando and James Rousseau. And she’s Chris’s type too. A blonde bore, just like Gwyneth! Gwyneth and Chris are definitely done. Their marriage is over!” Source: www.celebitchy.com
"Gwyneth Paltrow will join Nicole Kidman in “The Danish Girl” an adaptation of the David Ebershoff novel that tells the story of a relationship between the first post-operative transsexual, Einar Wegener, and his wife Greta. Einar Wegener (left) underwent sex-change surgery in 1930. After the surgery she adopted the name Lili Elbe.One afternoon in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta, a portrait painter, asked her husband to stand in for an absent female model. Slipping on a dress, stockings and woman’s shoes began a metamorphosis into Lili. When the photos became wildly popular, Greta encouraged her husband to do more, but a harmless game evolved into something deeper that threatens their marriage. Kidman had already been attached to play Einar, and Paltrow will play Greta, who stood by her partner through the sex-change operation, finally letting go when she realized the man she married no longer exists.

Robert Pattinson, not so romantic as Edward is
Robert Pattinon and Kristen Stewart at 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' cast tour in Hollywood & Highland on 6th November 2009.
New clip of Robert Pattinson during his interview talking about ‘New Moon’.
Q: Do you appreciate Edward more, with each movie? What are your favorite things about him?Rob: When I read New Moon, it gave me ideas about how to play him in the first film. It's the one I connected to the most, and the one that humanized Edward for me the most, as well. In the first one, he still does remain, from beginning to end, an idealistic character. But, in the second one, he makes a mistake that's acknowledged by everybody, including himself. Also, he is totally undermined by more powerful creatures, and he's undermined emotionally by people as well. That's what humanized it.Q: Love plays such a major part of these films, and so many fans want what happens on the screen to happen in your real life. How do you separate falling in love in real life with the women that you're cast opposite?Rob: You've always got to remember that you're being paid. There's a lot of connotations that come with that. That's one of the major separations.
Q: This franchise has made you a bankable leading man. How has that changed your career, and where do you want to be in five years?Rob: I don't know. I've only done one movie outside of the series, which was Remember Me. That's going to be out sometime next year. But, even that, I did with the same studio. I'm still a little bit blind, as to what my actual economic viability is, outside of the series, but it's definitely different. You get offered stuff that you never would have dreamed of getting offered before, but that's scary as well 'cause you don't have to audition for anything. You're just like, "I don't want to do a movie just 'cause it gets made'.Rob: It is just a blur. There are random moments which stand out, but I've been working so much this year that it's almost like living in an alternate reality. The hours on a film set are so long that you're doing doctor hours, and every doctor that I've ever spoken to says the same thing, that you have no idea what's going on, other than working. You're away from your family and friends, and all that stuff.Q: When you are shooting the more romantic things, what goes through your head?Rob: It's weird. I keep getting told by people, "Pump up all the stuff about the action, so the guys will go and see it," but it's ridiculous. It's like saying that guys can't appreciate romance. I don't think you can say that about Gone with the Wind. I've watched Titanic and I didn't think, "Oh, this is a girl's film."
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in "Titanic" (1997).
Especially in New Moon, and actually in the whole series, I've never played it thinking, "Oh, I'm in a series of girls' films and I'm doing something just for girls." I don't feel like I'm doing an animated Tiger Beat, every week. I like doing romantic scenes. I felt like a lot of the storyline in New Moon is very heartbreaking and true. I didn't think I was doing something, just for the sake of romance. I thought, in a lot of ways, that it was a really sad story.
Q: Are you a romantic person, in real life? What is the most romantic thing you've ever done?
Rob: I haven't done that many romantic things, in my life.Q: Have you ever given anyone flowers?
Rob: Yeah, I did. I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old. This girl, called Maria. Maybe I was 14. She actually thought it was from someone else, and the other guy claimed it as well, which was just great.Q: What has it been like to develop the romantic triangle?
Rob: It was weird because I hardly did any scenes with Taylor. We just did the scenes at the beginning and the scenes at the end, and he had his entire storyline develop without me being around, which is interesting because I had no idea where his performance was going. It wasn't really a competition or anything. It was independent. Whereas, in Eclipse, we did scenes together, all the time, with Bella. It really shows the dynamic in that film.
Q: Who is your favorite movie vampire of all time, and why?
Rob: I don't really know. I always think of the wrong people. I'll be like, "Ethan Hawke in Interview with a Vampire", and someone will say, "He's not the vampire." There's a bunch. I actually really like Wesley Snipes (in Blade). I think he's great.Q: How do you maintain the balance of letting your fans and the public know who you are, outside of just being Edward, but also keep your private life private?Rob: I think you just do it through doing jobs. It's such a risky thing, doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews I do. No one is that interesting, especially when you're not really saying anything. And, I don't particularly want to be some kind of character in society. So, I guess the only thing you can do is do jobs and see if people respond to that.But, I'm always holding onto the fact that I don't really know who I am, so hopefully I won't compartmentalize myself because of that. I'm just completely ignorant of the whole thing. I've never really struggled with anything, up until recently. I've got to stop being so self-depreciating 'cause people are starting to believe it. They'll be like, "That guy is an idiot" so I've tried to stop doing that.Q: Is James Dean one of your favorite actors?
Rob: One of, yeah.
Q: Are you going to have to learn Comanche for your role?
Rob: Yeah.
Q: Have you had time for your music?
Rob: I'm trying to".
