Comic-Con 2011: Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Talk ‘Breaking Dawn’ Sex Scene!

Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are excited for fans to see “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1,” but what “little surprises” will fans see in the wild honeymoon sex scene? Plus, what did Kristen think of author Stephenie Meyer being on set more for the shooting of the last two films in the series?

Comic-Con 2011: Taylor Lautner Bites Into ‘Breaking Dawn’ & Talks Taking The Field For Funny Or Die. Taylor Lautner is “super excited” to have two films to promote at Comic-Con, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I” and “Abduction.” Plus, why was it a dream come true for him to shoot his hit Funny Or Die sketch that pays homage to “Field of Dreams”?

Twilight stars (Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene) surprise Comic-Con fans

Highlight of the panel: Aside from the clips, the most enjoyable moment may have occurred when a male fan flipped the script by asking Lautner and Pattinson what it's like to work with so many hot women. “I love working with hot women. It’s why I became an actor," Pattinson confessed sarcastically (I think).

Best “Twilight” fan moment: Aside from the aforementioned one, the question from a cherub-cheeked 5-year-old who asked Pattinson: ”Did you like having the baby with Bella?"

Big question of the panel: What was up with Pattinson’s hair?

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner talk "Breaking Dawn" at Comic Con 2011



"Twilight: Breaking Dawn" (parts 1 and 2) may not be the end for the teen vampire saga. Director Bill Condon may have an inside line to author Stephenie Meyer's plans for a possible continuation of the story in more books and movies.

Kristen Stewart at Comic-Con 2011: Day 1

"It's the end of the Bella/Edward story," said Condon at a Thursday (July 21) Comic-Con press conference, "but there are so many new characters at the end of the second movie that I suspect she would want to revisit them some time."
Could that mean Robert Pattinson (Edward), Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Taylor Lautner (Jacob) could be absent from any future sequels that could, for instance, follow the the next generation of vamps (or, to get slightly spoiler-y vamp/human hybrids)?

"You sound like you have some secret knowledge," said Lautner. "You're conveniently not mentioning Jacob, though."
For his part, Pattinson had some totally un-useful, though stupid fresh, suggestions for follow-up movie titles:

"Breakfast Time", he quipped. "Brunch? Noon?"

We're sure Meyer appreciates the help.

"Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1" hits theaters Nov. 18.
Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner also fielded a question about their off-screen pursuits, which led to a couple of goofy answers about Stewart's Cooking Channel obsession and Lautner's dancing skills. Source: blog.zap2it.com

Get More: MTV Shows


MTV has a live, one-hour Breaking Dawn special direct from Comic Con today at 6pm EST/3pm EST. Included in the special are appearances by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Julia Jones and Jackson Rathbone. Source: www.mtv.com

"Condon says he went for grown-up emotion here—aimed squarely at Twilight‘s female audience. If Catherine Hardwicke was able to channel the teen POV in the first film, Condon is revealing the couple as adults: falling in love, getting married, living together, having a child, “set against a big mass-market studio movie,” he says.
But, befitting a vampire/human liaison, they don’t have your ordinary kid; they have no idea what is growing super-fast inside Bella, eating away at her—and in the next installment, Bella becomes a vampire. Condon is relieved that he and Summit finally decided not to shoot the final film in 3-D. In the arena of dramatic intense emotion, 2-D works best, he says.
At the Hall H panel, the cast praised Condon’s handling of that scene, which many readers of the book have speculated about how it would be done. It’s where the entire series was heading, and puts Bella and Edward into a situation beyond their control. Pattinson talked about how much he enjoyed playing more human emotions, like bonding with a baby, which requires “improvising” he said". Source: blogs.indiewire.com

Jake Gyllenhaal: baldness, power lunch and Donnie Darko's Tenth birthday

"Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal are proving that bald is indeed beautiful. The actors have both been spotted sporting shaved heads recently, and we can’t say we mind!
Damon showed off his new look while heading to the post office in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday. Is the actor trying to go incognito? PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive recently said that unlike his pal Brad Pitt, he doesn’t cause an international incident when he leaves his house — but this haircut could easily create a stir.
The day before, Gyllenhaal was photographed on location in Los Angeles where he’s shooting End of Watch; the actor shaved his head to play the role of an LAPD officer opposite Michael Peña. Gyllenhaal, who previously rocked a hairless head for the film Jarhead, confidently pulls off the no-locks look. But, who wears — or doesn’t wear — his bald head best?" –Alla Byrne

"Jake Gyllenhaal; Alanis Morissette; Ellen Pompeo; John Salley, the retired N.B.A. player; Orlando Bloom; Patricia and Rosanna Arquette; Rain and Joaquin Phoenix; and cast members of “Glee,” “Lost” and “Mad Men” have all been spotted at the restaurant since it opened in March, according to Ryland Engelhart, an owner. Sacha Baron Cohen, Ashton Kutcher and Forest Whitaker have dined there as well, he said. Angela Bassett, Vincent Gallo and the singer Jason Mraz (an investor who named his recent tour “Gratitude Café”) eat at the bar almost daily". Source: www.nytimes.com

"Jake Gyllenhaal's claim to fame as a cult icon is already reaching its tenth anniversary, making just about everyone who was aware of the movie when it first came out feel really, really old. To celebrate the occasion, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will be ringing in the anniversary of Donnie Darko with a brand new 10th Anniversary Edition in sparkling high-definition come July 26, 2011.

This new set will be pretty hefty in providing a stellar collection for the cherished and storied film, containing four discs comprised of two DVDs and two Blu-rays, collectible artwork, a Digital Copy, and both theatrical and Director's Cut editions of the film". Source: uk.bluray.ign.com

Frank Sinatra & functioning attractive smokers

"Drink, drink, drink. Smoke, smoke, smoke. Shmuck, shmuck, shmuck!" —Frank Sinatra, chastising himself for the excesses that made his voice raspy during the taping of a '60s TV special. Pictured: In 1964, Frank savors those vices backstage at the Sands Hotel and Casino, where he swung with the Count Basie Band. Out of that landmark collaboration came the legendary live album Sinatra at the Sands.

Anthony Summers, author of "Frank Sinatra: My life" (2006): "One of the strange anomalies is that a man, who not only drank so much but smoked so much - those untipped Camel cigarettes - for years and years and years, was still able to put out such a wonderful voice over such a long period. We learned that he went off the booze and off the cigarettes for a period before he made an album".

Summers claims the ravages of heavy drinking and smoking took their toll on Frank Sinatra's famous voice - and this can clearly be heard on some recordings. The biographer adds, "The booze and the cigarettes and the sorrows in his life affected his voice. You hear him do 'One For My Baby' in the late 50s, and then you hear the recording he did of the same song just before the 50s and they're as different as day is from night. The voice, by then, has been tempered, weathered by the booze, the cigarettes, the sadnesses and he's clearly living the song more the second time around."

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra photographed in a recording studio by LIFE's Allan Grant, take a cigarette break during the recording of Sleep Warm in 1958. The album was re-released in 1963 with a much more direct title: Dean Martin Sings/Sinatra Conducts.

"He wears the mask of an armchair philanderer with bottles and broads on his mind and seven kids in his swimming pool — a character with obvious appeal for both sexes. Highball glass in hand, he always looks faintly surprised to find the camera upon him, and his first bleary, self-deprecating crack establishes that neither he nor his audience can be quite sure what he will do next." —From LIFE's review of The Dean Martin Show, 5/26/1967. Photographed by LIFE's Allan Grant, Dean Martin is smoking and adjusting his cufflinks backstage before a performance in Vegas, 1958.
