Pattinson, Stewart and Angarano


"Robert Pattinson inadvertently admits something on the subject of love while talking about his next project "Remember Me".

Pattinson said “Remember Me” is very difficult to describe but said it is very much about him and, after reading the script last summer, felt a connection with it. The main protagonist is a 23-year-old man who spends six weeks after meeting someone working out if he is in love or not.

In his Scott Huver interview with FANDANGO, Robert Pattinson reveals that he has inputs on the "Remember Me" script.
Rob, given the synopsis of “a pair of star-crossed lovers who meet and fall in love while struggling to deal with family tragedies that threaten their relationship,” I was really puzzled why you were going to do this film at all. But now, I can understand why you want to". Source: www.atwilightkiss.com

Kristen Stewart going to a studio in Santa Monica, is wearing what seems a commitment ring on her index finger of her left hand, on 4th June 2009.

"Kristen Stewart is said rejecting a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Michael Angarano because "she feels she's too young to get married". "She thinks she'll wed when she's maybe 25," a source tells Star magazine.
Michael has bent his knee to propose to Kristen as he wanted to take their relationship to the next level. "Michael wants to be with her forever," the source continues. "They've been together three years, and he feels they're ready to take the leap." In response to Kristen's rejection, the source says, "Michael's OK with waiting. He'd do anything for her."
Last month, Kristen Stewart and Michael Angarano were photographed hanging out during the break time from filming her upcoming flick "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" in Vancouver, Canada. They were spotted holding hands, laughing, and smiling along their way to town. At one point, the 19-year-old beauty was snapped being carried on Michael's back".

Guibert also added that she has finally come to terms with the idea of there actually being a biopic done on her late son, saying, "I have finally relented against my deep conviction that films about people should never be made until those people are long dead."

The Oscar-nominated Gyllenhaal is already attached to another movie musical; he’s reportedly playing Joe Hardy opposite Jim Carrey’s Devil in Craig Zadan and Neil Meron’s Damn Yankees remake. Patrick Wilson’s name has also been bandied about for the role of Stacee Jaxx, currently played by James Carpinello.

And right after meeting each other, the two shared their first kiss. According to Catherine, "They had to do it three times. The first time, they went a little too far, and I was like, 'I can't show this to anybody at the studio!'" Wow, so Kristen and Robert were perfect for each other from the start".

"Kristen, 19, has previously blasted reports she is romantically involved with Robert.She said: “It’s just totally false. Robert and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close. But if we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him.

“And it’s like, I know the guy really (expletive) well. It’s only natural that we sort of lean on each other, because we’re put in the most (expletive) psychotic situations.”

May 13, they took the next step in their relationship: meeting the parents! Kristen bonded with Rob’s folks, Richard and Clare Pattinson, over Kobe beef meatballs during the actor’s 23rd birthday dinner at Glowbal Grill & Satay Bar in Vancouver".

"Back in 2001, Jen filmed The Good Girl with Jake Gyllenhaal, who at the time was a relative newcomer (his credits at the time included Donnie Darko and Bubble Boy). Not only did they share the screen in the quirky flick, but they shared a love scene, which for both actors marked a first. Jen was notably apprehensive about simulating such a private moment for all to see; she told In Style upon the film’s release that “unless you’re someone who gets off on having people watch you - which I’m certainly not - it’s weird having 40 crew members look at you in such an intimate situation.”
“Jake was as nervous as I was. Finally you just go for it. I couldn’t ask for a better, sweeter person to be devirginized on film with.” For his part, Jake discussed his experience working on the scene: “We had been making out for weeks in other scenes, and this was just some more hip grinding; some more kissing. Jennifer turned to me at one point and said, ‘That wasn’t so hard. I’ve faked it before.’” Throughout the production, he developed something of a protective stance toward his leading lady; he says that at one point, “I remember we were in bed one day, and Miguel Arteta screamed, ‘Stop joking around.’ And I thought, ‘This is Jennifer Aniston, motherf***er. You don’t yell at her.’”
Furthermore, they have continued to show a great deal of respect for each other’s work over the years. In 2005, Jen was on hand at the Hollywood Film Festival to present Jake with a Hollywood Breakthrough Award. Jake Gyllenhaal with Jennifer Aniston when he presented at the 18th annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles.

Jake returned the favor, presenting Jen with her GLAAD Vanguard Award. He gave a great presentation speech, citing Jen’s warmth and integrity as traits that he has come to know personally, and upon her arrival onstage he greeted her with a kiss. As Jake himself put it, “Everybody falls in love with Jennifer, and I have to say, it’s always her fault.”
