Twilight: Haunting Me (Edward/Bella)

Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart in "Twilight".



More pics of Robert Pattinson (talented, witty and still low-key actor) - his big blue eyes and cute lips remind me a bit of Jake:Let's compare Robert with Michael Cera too:

"Dunst recently denied speculation her party-loving lifestyle was to blame for her stay at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah in February, insisting she was treated for depression and not an addiction to drugs and alcohol.

She said: 'I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression.

‘I was struggling and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it.’ Her decision to seek help followed the breakdown of her relationship with Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell.

The pair split in August 2007 after an intense six-month relationship, which was reportedly the catalyst for her downward spiral". Source: www.dailymail.co.uk

Jake is very supportive

"Reese Witherspoon has only one thing to say about boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. The very reserved star says the actor is "very supportive."
Gracing the cover of the November issue of Vogue magazine, the 32-year-old actress says she is happy and lucky in life.
When asked about Gyllenhaal, Witherspoon told the magazine, "He's very supportive."
"Suffice it to say, I'm very happy in life, and I'm very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that's all you can hope for in life."

"I am very blessed in that way."

Reese Witherspoon (Lover)

I hope you enjoy this video-montage with images of Reese
(and a few of Jake too!), it's a bit excruciating to prepare a video dedicated to the present Jake's partner, and finding yourself admiring Reese's natural beauty, finesse and talent, feeling jealous but delighted by her litheness. I'm sure Reese is going to be hard to top for futures hypothetical partners of Jake.
Here some smart quotes from Reese:

"I have cellulite. I have stretch marks. I feel intimidated by Victoria's Secret".

"I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy".

"I think movies are great and I have a great time making them but they're not what keeps you warm at night, or what's ultimately the most important thing in anyone's life journey".

"Confidence is everything in this business".

"I'm just chatty. But I do express my opinion".

10 Movie couples

1. "Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey: Forget Kate and Leo; we want to see Kate and Jim together again. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is one of the few movies we’ve seen Jim Carrey in that hasn’t made us want to claw our eyes out. In fact, Carrey was downright charming, something we’re pretty sure he needs Winslet to pull off. So, what are they waiting for?2. Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp: Surely there’s enough water under the bridge for these two, who broke their engagement in the early '90s, to reunite on the big screen again. They were perfectly sweet and enchanting together in the 1990 movie “Edward Scissorhands” and the sight of those big, soulful eyes they both share is enough to elicit a deep sigh from even the most stoic.
3. Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne: They steamed things up together in the 1993 Tina Turner biography, “What's Love Got to Do with It?”, earning Bassett an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, and Fishburne his first Oscar nomination. Fishburne has stated about Bassett: "An electrifying thing happens when the two of us work together. I haven’t experienced it with anyone else.” We experience it, too, Laurence. And we want more. 4. Brad and Angelina: So iconic as a couple, they don’t even need last names, but as Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the 2005 movie of the same name, the sexiest couple alive proved to viewers exactly why they belong together. The chemistry between them is palpable, and watching them together, most of us don’t know whom to envy more — her for getting to kiss him, or him for kissing her.
5. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray: Le sigh! Has there been a more bittersweet love story in recent cinematic history than between these two in “Lost in Translation”? While we love Bill Murray is nearly anything in which he appears, Scarlett Johansson’s luster just isn’t as shiny without him by her side. Together, they have a chemistry that is more kindred spirit than hot passion, a connection we yearn to see more of in this day of gratuitous sex overload.
6. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman: Sure, they played a couple in the middle of a divorce and nasty custody battle in the 1979 film, “Kramer vs. Kramer,” but the tenderness between them — not to mention the amazing Academy Award-winning acting — is something we need more of today. Plus, they’ve both had such impressive careers in the nearly 30 years since, we think there’s a great chance to catch lightning in a jar again if these two were to ever reunite on-screen.
7. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes: On their own — or with other people — neither of these two thespians are the most likable on our list, but together, as they were in the 1996 remake of “Romeo and Juliet,” they’re totally captivating. Gone are all signs of the pretensiousness we’ve come to expect from Danes in her more recent movies, and DiCaprio’s over-acting is diluted to tolerable measure with his co-star’s sweet subtlety. 8. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon: They weren’t a romantic couple, but in “Thelma and Louise,” the mother of all chick flicks, Davis and Sarandon reignited Girl Power and proved that sometimes the deepest love is platonic in nature.
9. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal: Sadly, we know this is a coupling we won’t ever get to see again, but since this is a fantasy list after all, we couldn’t pass up the chance to gush about these two together. Watching Heath and Jake roll around in the hay in “Brokeback Mountain” proved to us that guy-on-guy action? So effing hot.
10. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling: You didn’t think we’d write a list of our favorite movie couples without mentioning these two, did you? Tender, passionate, and deeply romantic, McAdams and Gosling in “The Notebook” simultaneously break our hearts and give us reason to believe in love. We’d be thrilled to see them together again on-screen and in real life".

More Paparazzis

Jake trying to hide from paparazzis.
On 5th August, 2008. Reese Witherspoon was shopping at Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles. Paparazzis questioned her if Jake had proposed her marriage.
Another actor who can't stand paparazzis, Michael Cera:
"Filmmakers love Michael Cera. Peers respect him. And girls want to marry him. So what's next? Frankly, he's thinking of quitting.After breaking out at 15 as George Michael on Fox's Emmy-winning cult sitcom Arrested Development, Cera hit the jackpot last year playing sensitive young funnymen in Superbad and Juno. His first foray into leading-man territory — the low-budget teen comedy Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist — just banked a respectable $11.3 million in its opening weekend. And he's already shot lead roles in two more promising titles for next year — Harold Ramis' Year One with Jack Black, and the literary adaptation Youth in Revolt. Now the Ontario native insists that he's taking the rest of the year off, and that he'll be thinking long and hard about whether he should put the brakes on his career.

Yes, Cera's serious. This isn't just another example of his famously bone-dry wit. ''I'll definitely slow down,'' he says over breakfast at a Manhattan hotel restaurant that serves him the apple juice he orders in a wineglass. ''I have a movie lined up for early next year [Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, directed by Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright], and then nothing after that. I'll just take it step by step, I guess.''It's the other stuff that comes with the job that's starting to get to him. Cera started to feel ''vulnerable,'' he says, after Superbad grossed $121 million last summer. As his costar Jonah Hill puts it, ''One day things were normal for us, and then the next day the movie opened, and things kinda changed completely.''
One year later, Cera still isn't comfortable with the paparazzi at red-carpet events (''They're so aggressive and really mean''), with people eye-balling him on the street (''I was always self-conscious, and feeling like you're being looked at just amplifies that feeling — you get paranoid''), and with haters who rag on him on Web message boards (''People are crazy'').

But is it really possible that all the annoying celebrity parts of the job could be enough to make him stop acting? ''Yeah, I think so,'' Cera says. ''Acting's not something I need to live, by any means. So I'll just see how it goes. I definitely don't think I wanna star in movies, if...'' His voice trails off. ''I like acting, but I'd like to start doing smaller parts, I guess, where I could just kind of relax and not have to worry about it too much. That'd be fun.''

Cera knows people don't like to hear actors complaining about fame. ''You get very little sympathy for it,'' he says. ''I don't wanna change because of other people,'' he says. ''I wanna be myself still, and I don't think I need to toughen up. It'd be weird to be comfortable with [celebrity]. But I won't drive myself crazy or have a nervous breakdown. I'll just deal with it.'' Source: www.ew.com

"Proof" at the Maple Giant Theatre

"MAPLE GIANT THEATRE are now casting the final parts for their forthcoming production:

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father Robert, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind.Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her father's madness, or genius, will she inherit?

We are currently casting the parts of Robert (playing age 50+) and Hal (playing age late-20s):
Robert: A prestigious mathematician and father of two, Robert is the darker side to this exquisite play. The deterioration of his mental health mixed with his unflappable ambition to sustain his incredible level of intelligence, with a flash of genius, Proof sees this intense figure slowly begin to unravel.Hal: An academic protégé of Robert who has devoted his life to his love of learning. A quiet and reserved character at the beginning, he soon becomes caught up in the mix of passion and frustration that is made clear during this psychological snapshot of mathematical genius.

What critics have said about 'Proof':
"…those of us who want their dramatic characters to be real people need not feel excluded. All four – whether loving, hating, encouraging or impeding one another – are intensely alive, complex, funny, human. Out of this curious quartet, Auburn creates emotionally and intellectually enveloping music."
—John Simon, New York.

"…but my relief that David Auburn's Proof is less about its ballyhooed higher mathematics than the fragility of life and love was matched by my delight in his fine and tender play…Proof surprises us with its aliveness and intelligent modesty, and we have not met these characters before."
—John Heilpern, The New York Observer.

"What's perhaps most striking about Auburn's writing, though, is his sense of structure, which is at once imaginative and stringently coherent. Veering gracefully from past to present and from reflection to confrontation, the playwright traces the development of his characters and plot with a scientist's preciseness and a poet's lyricism."
—Elysa Gardner, USA Today

Performances:
One week run, Tuesday 21st to Saturday 25th October 2008, at the OFS Studio Theatre, George Street, Oxford. Performances will be at 7.30pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

The production is directed by Luke Daking and the Producer is Stephen Wiggins.

What critics have said about previous MGT productions:

"Maple Giant Theatre chooses the perfect piece to bring out the full story-telling potential of the Old Fire Station; the black studio is given the air of a downtown Manhattan off-Broadway theatre by the sharp phrasing of this exciting new musical."
—Daily Info

"…a very able cast…brilliant comedy"
—The Cherwell

"It's refreshing to see a musical which is stripped back and sparse, not relying on lavish sets or sequins to grab the attention of the audience. The cast of six do well slipping between different characters and moods."
—Daily Info

"…very strong performances…highly talented performers"
—Daily Info
