MTV Movies Blog had an interview with Taylor Lautner at the VMA’s about his workout and Rob. Taylor Lautner: Robert Patinson Doesn’t Need Workout Advice
But Lautner isn’t the only one Twilighters got an eyeful of in the trailer — Robert Pattinson also appears sans shirt. And Lautner insists that if the two were to compete in some kind of shirt-off, the competition would be stiff. “I don’t know [who would win]. Rob, he’s getting some muscle,” he explained. “There’s some good competition.”
MTV also did another article with Anna Kendrick about her level of fame. ‘Twilight’ Actress Anna Kendrick Is Fine Without RPattz-Level Fame
“The thing about playing one of the human characters, the non-supernatural characters in the ‘Twilight’ series, is we have a lot more liberty to make it our own and change things, because people don’t have that attachment that they do to the myth, the world that Stephenie Meyer created in terms of the supernatural aspect,” the actress explained.
Here’s another interview with Anna by HitFix. Q&A: Anna Kendrick talks ‘New Moon’, ‘Scott Pilgrim’ and her breakthrough in ‘Up in the Air’
Q: Do you know if you’ll be back for ‘Breaking Dawn’ if and when those movies happen?
It does feel like to us — when I say ‘us’ I assume people know I’m referring to the human characters — it feels like it’s probably coming to a close. We appear in a dream sequence or one sequence in the book of of ‘Breaking Dawn’ so I don’t know if we’ll be back for it and we’re only signed up for three, because the three books were only out when we made the first film. So, I don’t know that we will be involved in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ but it’s a really fun thing to go back to. Particularly when I go back for this short period of time it feels like I’m going back to summer camp and I’m seeing my friends from summer camp.
Radar Online had a meeting with Edi Gathegi where he actually tried to scare the author, Stephenie Meyer! EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Twilight Actor Edi Gathegi Scared Stephenie Meyer
Radar: How scary is your scene?
Gathegi: Let’s just put it this way. I told Stephenie Meyer that my goal would be to scare every 14 year-old girl, and she looked at me and said “Edi, you’re so sweet and you have such a little baby face, no one is going to be scared of you at all.” Then she saw the movie and the dailies said, “OK Edi, you scared me!” And I said “That means a lot coming from you,” especially since she told me I wasn’t even going to be able to BE scary!
The Twilight Examiner has had an interview with ‘How To Be’ director, Oliver Irving. Exclusive Interview – How to Be Director gives insight into Robert Pattinson and his character
Were you familiar with Rob, or had you heard of him before he was cast?
No – he told me he was in a Harry Potter movie but made it seem like a small part. After the first audition I was sure he could be good, so checked him out online and realized he had a huge fan base already. Another call back or two to doubly make sure we had our man, and we were set.

Previously, we posted the Volturi scan from People’s Magazine. However, over at their website, they featured HQ photos and a brief article about the Volturi:
“They’re all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts,” Weitz tells PEOPLE. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it.”
You can also view the rest of the Volturi promotional pictures at LionAndLambLove.
Look who’s on set: Billy Burke & Kristen Stewart. Billy Burke even tweeted about it:

The screenwriter of ‘Juno’ , Diablo Cody shared this piece of interesting story about Robert:
Why a cannibal? Are zombies and vampires over?
No. Vampires are very much in style right now. Look at Twilight. For me, it was the blatant symbolism of a female cannibal. Ever since Hall & Oates wrote “Maneater” we’ve had this idea of a beautiful woman preying on the souls of men. I wanted to do a literal version of that.We read on your Twitter that you were at a party with Robert Pattinson from Twilight and didn’t recognize him.
Awww. I’m old. [Laughs.] That anecdote was merely meant to illustrate the fact that I am out of touch. He’s a beautiful man and I would certainly recognize him now.So what happened?
He wouldn’t remember this happening. I honestly just went up and borrowed a light from him and I couldn’t understand why there was this vibration in the crowd like, You’re talking to him! I thought, You mean that guy with the cigarettes? Aw, this sounds terrible. You know what I love about Twitter is the spontaneity, like you can share an anecdote like you would with your friends—but then there’s always the risk that this brilliant, beautiful man is going to think I’m a douchebag.Read her full interview here at Inked as she tells us more about her new film, ‘Jeniffer’s Body’.

Still on Kristen, here’s an interview that you can read from a Brazilian Magazine ‘Caprico’. Thanks to Twifans!
Like you, the girls of The Runaways had success very young. Are you afraid to disappear like them?
This always will happen. It´s how works the world of fame. I try to be different to not fall into the same trap. But it´s hard to have to endure some girls critiquing my work for nonsense.What kind of nonsense?
For example, have people hating me for having my hair cut, for not looks like “me” anymore. Actually, I know that it’s because I don´t look more like Bella anymore. Sincerely, I don´t understand these girls who judge the others by the size of the hair or the level of femininity. We gotta be more than appearance!But How you know about these criticisms?
People say that in my face! “Why did you cut your hair? Why did you do that? Why did you not cried like that? “It’s a horror! Then ask: “How can you like have a hair like this?” And I answer that I like. They get outraged.
That’s why I love KStew!
Buzznet has an absolutely hilarious interview with Michael Welch. He talks about his career, fame, Bella and much more.
Ah-nell-ee: If you met Bella in real life, what would you say to her? What would you say to Edward?
Michael Welch: I would tell Bella, “Listen girl. I know you’re caught up in this supernatural love triangle, but why don’t you give Mike Newton a shot? If the werewolf represents the stable option in your life, and the vampire is constantly fighting the urge to drain you of your precious blood, maybe you need broaden your horizons a bit and consider dating a HUMAN BEING! Just a thought.
“Oh! By the way, did you know that Kristen Stewart is playing you in the 4-part bio-pic of your life? Pretty cool huh?… What do you mean you’ve never heard of her? You haven’t seen that terrible movie Panic Room?… Well, what about Into the Wild, In the Land of Women, or The Messengers?… Wow, you need to get out more, Arizona. I’m gonna make you a list of films. You ever seen The Usual Suspects?… No?? Oh boy! You’re in for a treat! Come on, I’ll buy you a soda, then we’re renting some movies!!”
I would tell Edward, “Thanks a lot buddy! You’ve raised the bar to such unreasonable heights, the rest of us guys don’t stand a chance. We can’t sparkle you jerk! Not even Efron can sparkle. How do you think that makes him feel, huh??… Oh great, now you’re making Zac Efron cry Edward! You proud of yourself, huh, you feel like a big man?… Shhh, it’s ok Zac. I’m here for you pumpkin. Great, now I have to give him his juice box… And for goodness sake, would you take Bella out to see some movies? Rent Casablanca or something, or at least take her out to see The Hangover. Jeeze- louise Ed!”
LOL, Michael Welch is so funny!

ET catches up with Melissa Rosenberg…about New Moon and Eclipse:
ET: What was the set of ‘New Moon’ like?
Melissa Rosenberg: ‘New Moon’ was one of the happiest sets I have ever been on. The guy who picked me up, said, “This is a great set. [Director] Chris Weitz is a genius. It is so wonderful.” I was, “Okay, dude, you are overselling.” But I got on the set and it was just delightful. You can tell when it is uncomfortable and they are not connecting. Chris Weitz is just a Zen master. I went to him and I was, “You are so cool and calm. And everyone is so cool and calm.” He said, “You have no idea what it is going to cost me.” My husband is a director and I know what it costs him. You have to tamp down every ounce of panic and frustration in order to project this calmness. I hope Chris got a good vacation between production and post.

Film.com has an article of which they share their thoughts about The Twilight Saga cast:
Remember a year ago when Summit Entertainment was hoping that Twilight, their modestly-budgeted adaptation of the teen vampire romance novel would become a cult hit? Life was so much simpler then, wasn’t it? (I’m sure Robert Pattinson would agree…) But ever since Twilight proved itself to be a massive hit at the box office, things have been different. Now bigger names are being brought in to help tell the tale. Now that New Moon is just a few months away from hitting theaters, and casting news on Eclipsehas started to break, let’s take this opportunity to break down the cast of the Twilight Saga…
Meanwhile, Style.com has an interview with Noot Sear, the model-turned-actress. Can she deliver? We’ll see…

We’re still in the Comic-Con mode, so here’s what we have for you today! Articles and photos just keep coming in!
FAME (and Robert Pattinson!) Well, according to Rob, fame isn’t the worst thing in the world:
Attending the “Twilight Saga’s New Moon” panel at Comic Con in San Diego on Thursday, July 23, the British actor jokingly said, “I never do anything normal anyway” before then adding, “I pretty much live an almost identical life apart from being recognized.”
You have seen the two “pirated” clips from the previous post. Now, from MTV, Robert describes Bella’s Hallucinations in ‘New Moon’:
“It’s just Edward’s voice in the book,” Pattinson told his fans at Comic-Con. “And I guess it would look probably pretty cheesy if it was just my voice, so they’ve done these hallucinations, kind of semi-visible apparitions.”
Kristen Stewart added that in these hallucinations Bella Swan has are “very subjective, like how she remembers him, not necessarily how he actually is.”
We still have more great cast pictures…from the lovely Everglow and Lion And Lamb Love! Check out the respective galleries

Taylor Lautner had an interview with Interview Magazine.
When rumors surfaced last year that 17-year-old Taylor Lautner would not appear in theTwilight sequel because he was too physically slight to portray a bookworm-turned-werewolf, a great shriek rose from Fangirl Island. “Noooooo!!” wrote one obsessive on a Twilightdiscussion board. “omg. Pleezze let Taylor come back,” implored another. Some were more militant: “If they don’t put him in . . . there will be a massive Twilight fan attack!”
Head over here to read Taylor’s interview! There’s a video attached too

Read this interview with Christopher Heyerdahl who plays in “New Moon”. He shares with us how he approach his character and much more.
Someone caught this on video. I’ve not seen it yet. Spoilers, obviously.
A Youtuber caught some behind the scene footage of Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart shooting the yellow Porsche scene for “Twilight Saga: New Moon” over in Montepulciano, Italy. Kristen Stewart plays Bella Swan and Ashley Green plays Alice Cullen in the film – Source.
In the first segment of the video (below) Kristen Stewart does a few takes of the scene. It’s the scene just before she finds Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson),and runs to him to give him a big hug.
After they do a few takes of that scene, they just show a lot of people talking and walking around taking pictures. Towards the end, there’s a guy who takes pictures with a group of girls. I’m not really sure what that was about,but he sure looked happy.

Probably you’re wondering where to get that dress Bella wore to her Birthday party (as seen in New Moon’s teaser trailer)…
Sorry, Twilighters, but you’re outta luck. New Moon costume designer Tish Monaghan custom-made Bella’s one-of-a-kind dress: ”It was supposed to be a gift from Alice, so I wanted something pretty that Alice would buy, but also something vintage [looking] that would be appropriate for Bella. We dressed it down with sneakers to keep the Bella flavor.” – Source.

There’s always a comparison between this and that. For “True Blood” and “Twilight”, they say it is just a coincidence that these two are released together around the same time last year. Read here for more.
Two Twilight cast related interviews for you – First up, Gil Birmingham. Give him some love and read the rest of his interview here.
TH: Since you moved a lot when you were young, what is the best lesson that you learned from that experience?
Gil: Living in different states and going to a long line of different schools taught me how to adapt to change and different people and circumstances. I believe that the people who succeed in life are those who can adapt to changing surroundings and create goodness amidst the chaos that we sometimes encounter in the world
Next, OK’s interview with Kellan Lutz. He tells us more about NEW MOON!
How did you prepare to play Emmett in New Moon?
I prepared a lot by delving into the back-story for my character, Emmett, that I created while shooting the first movie so I just picked up that same notebook again for New Moon and added a little more to what I thought embodied this character. I find it easy to get in the role; Emmett is the perfect match for me. I do love creating a back-story for characters; it helps you transform into the role and it makes it yours.
Remember this “Greetings From Vancouver” video?
Now, here’s a short extended version of the Borders’ promo video (Kellan is in!):
