Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Full EW Interview with Kristen, Rob & Taylor
The stars of the scortching-hot franchise gather to dish about the new Twilight movie, Oprah, their diverging careers, and (yes) their intense feelings for each other.

Kristen Stewart comes bearing a gift. The actress — who’s gangly, strikingly beautiful, and still only 20 despite having made movies for nearly a decade — has baked her interviewer a little loquat pie, which she carries in a mini-aluminum tin, like one you’d find in a child’s Easy-Bake oven set. Stewart and costars Taylor Lautner, 18, and Robert Pattinson, 24, have gathered to talk about Eclipse, which opens June 30 and is, of course, the third installment in the phenomenally successful Twilight saga. The movie, rated PG-13 and directed by David Slade, finds Jacob (Lautner) and his werewolf pals joining forces with Edward (Pattinson) and his vampire clan to defend Bella (Stewart) against an army of new vampires. At the moment, however, no one wants to talk about the movie — the darkest and most compelling of the franchise so far. They just want to try the pie, which features fruit from Stewart’s own backyard. “It’s not warm and there’s no ice cream, and those are really the two things that would make it exceptional,” she says. “But it will be fine.”
When Twilight hit theaters a year and a half ago, Stewart never would have baked something for a reporter. Back then, she was a nervous 18-year-old who fretted over every syllable that escaped her lips and seemed terrified of the publicity circuit. Today, Stewart and her costars exude considerably more confidence. The last two Twilight movies have earned more than $1 billion worldwide and supercharged their careers. Stewart is about to shoot an adaption of a Jack Kerouac;s ‘On the Road’, Lautner’s embarking on John Singleton’s action thriller ‘Abduction’, and Pattinson’s starring alongside Reese Witherspoon as a veterinarian in a traveling circus in ‘Water for Elephants’. The actors make an extremely tight trio: honest, protective of each other, and warmly familial. In person, as on screen, Pattinson and Lautner’s mutual affection for Stewart is the tie that binds.
Entertainment Weekly Best of MTV Movie Awards: Rob and Kristen
Entertainment Weekly did their best and worst moments from the Award Show last night, and Rob and Kristen got best kiss (ITA!) :
BEST KISS
When Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson inevitably took the stage to accept the Best Kiss award, there was no way we were going to settle for another Miley Cyrus-style fakeout like last year. After a bit of will-they-or-won’t-they teasing, RPattz managed to plant one on an apparently surprised Stewart. Or was she in on it? You can never tell with these show folk.

”The Twilight Saga: New Moon” DVD Shortages Already Being Reported
The Twilight Saga: New Moon has been for sale on DVD and Blu-Ray for little more than a day, but already some availability shortages are being reported.
According to one Los Angeles-based source, “Out of 3 department stores and 2 smaller video stores, only 2 stores had 10 copies or more. The rest were out and expecting more Monday or Tuesday. Other stores, after calling around are rationing their Twilight DVD’s selling only so many per day so that customers who come in have a chance to purchase it as well.”
Saturday at midnight, Los Angeles was host to a very special midnight New Moon DVD party: one which director Chris Weitz and actress Nikki Reed (“Rosalie”) attended.
Weitz, who has made the decision not to direct Breaking Dawn, talked to Entertainment Weekly before the appearance about the DVD, and he reflected on a recent development in the Eclipse world (the addition of a new editor). “In many cases, movies like this have two editors because of the sheer amount of footage,” he explained.
The varying versions of the New Moon DVD made available around the several venues might have some small differences (i.e., whether deleted and extended scenes are included), but they all have a few things in common.
Ten of those things are examined by Jen Yamato with FearNET, who points out one of the more fascinating portions of the DVD: In the break-up scene, “hilariously, the actors had to battle swarms of mosquitoes to deliver just the right dramatic pitch while filming in a thicket of trees” and on the New Moon DVD, “we get to watch the scene through playback monitors as [Robert] Pattinson tries out different tones and line deliveries, breaking up with Bella over and over again in various ways.”
