A source told the New York Post: "Asim wants her out now. Department stores in the States have already told him they won't be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it's a serious issue.

Robert Pattinson - Bravo Magazine Interview

Robert Pattinson on the set of "Remember me" (2010).

"If The Twilight Saga: New Moon left you salivating for more Robert Pattinson, you don't have to wait until The Twilight Saga: Eclipse comes out in June. You just have to wait until March when Pattinson takes on his first major leading role in Summit's new film Remember Me. All Twilight and RPattz fans have heard of Remember Me because the actor spent the greater part of the summer sweating out in the streets of Manhattan".

"Robert Pattinson, the film's square-jawed male lead, may not be competing for Oscars any time soon; but he is nonetheless suddenly one of the most valuable men in show business."What's refreshing is that it has not just drawn the usual audience of horror fans, but also appealed to a teenage girl sensibility. It has managed to draw much more widespread acknowledgement," said Ali Jaafar, the international editor of Variety " Source: www.herald.ie

Bravo Magazine Interview Translation:

R: I was a loner in school. But u know what? It’s a compliment and the best what ever could have happened to me. When u are different from everybody else, it helps to be creative.(thinking) Maybe my point of view is a bit too romantic.B: Are you the same in relationships?

R: In relationships and friendships you have to adjust, so that it works together. Isn’t it the best proof of love to work on yourself, because you love the other person so much. But u should’t fake it just to be liked.
Taylor: At school I haven’t got many friends either. Most of the time I was alone.

Kristen: We all feel like outsiders from time to time. Since today I feel like an outsider. And I’m sure that the most popular girl felt lonely and misunderstood. I know how it feels to be unpopular. It shouldn’t bother me what people say about me but sometimes it’s hard, even for me.

B: In the movie you are perfect heros. What about your private life? Would you change something there?

T: I want to be so wild and strong like the werwolf-boys. I’m often shy and silent. Sometimes I want to be more extrovertive.

R: I want to be a bit shorter.

K: (rolls her eyes): You are such an idiot, Rob! I don’t understand why you talking such stupid things (Rob smiles embarrassed. Kristens shakes her head) What is going on with you? Did u drink to much coke?K: I think it is important to go through a break up. Look at Bella: At the end she is stronger than before, because she found herself. Girls always want somebody who watches out for them. But first u have to be strong. Then u can have a happy relationship.T: I think the love triangle is really hard, in the movie. I feel sorry for Jacob, because Bella dosen’t love him back. When I read the book, I was like I don’t wanna experience that!

Brokeback Mountain - Thanksgiving Day

"There is a pair of Thanksgiving celebrations; Jack had a showdown with his father-in-law, drawing the line. Embarrassing, awkward, you can tell Lureen is proud of her husband, perhaps for the first time".

Ennis’ is even worse. He has dinner with his daughters, his ex-wife, and her new husband. After dinner, Alma confronts him about Jack, telling him that she left a note tied to his fishing line. It came back home intact. “Jack Twist! Jack Nasty!"Jake Gyllenhaal plays Jack Twist/Jack Nasty in "Brokeback Mountain" (2005).

"You didn’t go up there to fish!” For the first time she confronts him with what she has known for years. This is the first time Ennis ever raised his hand at Alma…he leaves, furious, before he gives in and does something he’ll regret. Then he goes and picks a fight with a bigger man".Michelle Williams, as Alma Beers Del Mar. Alma’s discovery of her husbands affair was something she bore silently through all the long years. The quite stare into the distance as she contemplates the implications…so moving, so telling, subtle, but powerful. She captured the quite desperation of women trapped by society and economics in a marriage they could not fix, no matter what they did right. Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack Twist. Beautiful and expressive, Jake conveys the tender vulnerability of Jack. So much of the communication between closeted gay men is in the subtlety of glance and avoidance. Jake mastered this. And when he was open in his feelings, they bubbled up like a spring, one that one could happily drown in. Casually sensual, he was a temptation few could resist. Heath Ledger as Ennis Del Mar. Ennis is nothing but hard edges and subtlety. Heath’s career had tended to the more exuberant, from the volatile William Thatcher in a Knight’s Tale, to the sensual Casanova, he played his emotions loud and proud like a fire in the night. Ennis Del Mar was not a bonfire, he was a smoldering ember. And Heath proved he was a great actor. Ennis had almost no dialogue through much of the movie. It is all stance and glance, and he made it work". Source: www.epinions.com

Jake admits Tobey is extraordinary in "Brothers"

"I think that watching Tobey in the movie is the most extraordinary piece of it," Gyllenhaal admitted. "I have been blessed to watch actors who people didn't feel could perform a certain thing or were a sort of way, and I've been honored to watch that. It's always nice to see when people, like journalists, have never thought of someone one way can see them in another way. I watched Tobey go from the first part of the movie, then we had a Christmas break in between and when he came back, he was another person from who he was in the first couple weeks we started shooting. That was an extraordinary transformation, not only to watch as an actor, but now watching the movie as an audience member, I now feel that way, too." Portman talked about the research she did for the role: "I spoke to some Marine wives and talked to them about their experiences and how their kids reacted when their father was away and the kinds of things husbands would do before they left and what it was like when they came back and how everything changed. I think the most interesting thing was that they viewed it as the home being their own front, that they had to really keep everything under control at home so their husbands could do their job. Even if there was something going on (like) the kids were acting up or it was hard to pay the bills, you never ever tell your husband, because they need to focus on their job and there's nothing they can do because they're away. They're tough because they're soldiers in their own right."And Jake: "I can say that in researching the character that I played, Jim and I went to a lot of different jails and juvenile halls in L.A. county and I met these kids in this writing program and they were extraordinary kids. One of them was this incredible storyteller that Jim ended up putting in the movie as one of the guys in the helicopter with Tobey."Gyllenhaal added his own two cents on the matter. "It's funny that people are asking whether this is some kind of war movie, and I've definitely been involved in movies that people have said that to me in press conferences over and over, and as a result of trying to sell the movie, there's an inclination to not talk about that. You're kind of backed into a corner, but I don't actually think anybody is trying to pretend like we're in some corner. We're not in a corner. The movie is a journey and how they're selling the movie is fascinating because the most extraordinary part of the movie is not given away at all in any of these ads or how they're selling it. It's the journey that Tobey's character makes to get back home. It is intertwined with a lot of other complications but it's mostly about what this man does to get back to the people that he loves and his life." Finally, Maguire mused on why stories about soldiers like the one he plays need to be told. "People don't like to talk about that stuff so much. I mean, people will, but these folks go over there and suffer these traumas and feel alone. They don't feel like people can relate. I'm generalizing obviously. Some people can talk about it, some people do get help, but a lot of folks go over and feel like their worldview has changed. They can't relate to us, the civilians, and it's very challenging for them. There's a lot of shame and embarrassment and they try to take it on themselves and they're suffering. They're dealing with some really complicated psychological problems. They need us to be a little more proactive in society to reach out to them and to lend a hand and to have a conversation about it." Source: www.comingsoon.net

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Emmy Rossum holding a bottle Team Jacob bottle.

"If the bird gets burned, I'll order Chinese or pizza. I'm like, 'Hey, you didn't know? Pizza's the new thing for Thanksgiving? It's like the new turducken.' … I can't handle the turkey. It's too overwhelming."—Emmy Rossum [Parade] Source: www.parade.com

"Don't even think of serving anything other than turkey.
As it would happen, the Pilgrims served four wild turkeys at the first Thanksgiving in 1621, along with venison, roast duck, clams, eels, wheat and corn breads, leeks, watercress, wild plums, homemade wine, and something that sounds alarmingly like succotash. The key word in this sentence, of course, is turkey. Thanksgiving tradition demands it. Not goose (Christmas). Lamb (Easter), or hamburgers (Fourth of July). Not roast beef, unless you’re also celebrating someone’s retirement. And certainly not fish, which the Pilgrims used to fertilize corn. Turkey. It’s the only way.

Don't get a frozen turkey. Fresh tastes better and looks real (albeit a bit naked). It costs more, but how many days a year do you eat turkey? Go for it. For a dozen people, buy a twenty-to twenty-two pound bird. The bigger the better, since everyone should leave at the end of the day with enough sliced turkey for a couple of sandwiches the next day. (Adapted from "The Modern American Thanksgiving" by Glen Waggoner).

Bella: sexual aggressor?

Kristen Stewart quote: "I've always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I've grown out of it".

"Siering insistes that the fact Bella remains in thrall to the "overbearing" Edward even after he dumps reflects gender stereotype of women's dependence on men. Siering added: "In fact, just moments after Edward leaves her, Bella stumbles in the woods and refuses to get up, lying in the muck until a strong, bare-chested man carries her out.“Later, we see her sitting in her room, staring out the window, as the months roll by. When she isn't sitting and staring, she is in bed having nightmares. Very empowering. What finally rouses her is a vision of Edward-which she sees after she hops on a motorcycle with a creepy guy. Even this ghostly Edward is bossy, scolding Bella to be careful, but it seems Bella likes, or needs, to be bossed around."Siering concluded: "This is a film full of gender stereotypes-testosterone-driven male aggression, females who pine away over lost loves, boys who fix motorcycles and the girls who watch them. The one role-reversal in New Moon, where Bella saves Edward for a change, is immediately negated when Bella's low self-esteem takes centre stage.”"Even as Edward declares his love to her, Bella deems herself 'unworthy' of it, being simply human while he's a vampire and all. Perpetuating the idea that this is true love-torturous, painful, and unrequited-is detrimental to all of us, women and men. There's something scary about New Moon, but it's in the human encounters, not those with the monsters." Source: entertainment.oneindia.in

"Bella is often accused of passivity, but although there are certainly faults to be found with her fixation on romance to the exclusion of all other interests, she doesn't actually lack forward momentum. She's the sexual aggressor and instigator of change in her relationship, hurtling through milestones at breakneck speed-first love, first soul-crushing breakup, marriage (she is bribed into it actually), sex, (spine-crushing) childbirth, and motherhood in less than two years-before achieving her goal of eternity in a fairy-tale cottage with her loving family.Her transformation is agonizing and traumatic, but, aware of the risks and owning her choice, she pushes unrelentingly for it anyway. Although I do wonder if Bella's really considered the ramifications of repeating high school over and over again, as her husband and new siblings-in-law do-after this ultimate transformation, she has perfection, but a static and essentially unchanging one".
