But it surely is a match made in tween publicity heaven

Sources are claiming the Joe Jonas feels all better about smashing Demi Lovato's heart and is moving on to someone without a soul - at least in her movies.

The JoBro has been spotted spending a lot of time with Ashley Greene, who has made her name (and more $$$ than she deserves) in the Twilight franchise.

The couple have been seen on several dates, including an intimate dinner at London's The Ivy as well as canoodling at the Eclipse premiere earlier this month. Joe is reportedly "smitten" with Ashley

and her fame.

Between the two of them, they have dated most of young Hollywood. We suppose it was only a matter of time!

After spending the Fourth of July with family and friends in her hometown of Jacksonville Florida, Ashley Greene arrived in New York City.

Ashley was able to capitalize on all opportunities before the next Twilight segment. She's some projects that are lined up including a comedy with Miley Cyrus. This week she made a small screen cameo when she popped up at a photo shoot chronicled on The City.

Breaking Dawn Sex Scenes Will Be "Way Hot," Screenwriter Promises

2010-07-13T14:05:00.002+08:00

The movie adaptation of Twilight sequel Breaking Dawn may or may not contain the book's infamous birth scene, but screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg promises that the final Twilight installment will have one thing: Lots of sexy sex for its sexy stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to get sexy to. Describing a Breaking Dawn sex scene between Pattinson's Edward Cullen and Stewart's Bella Swan as "way hot," Rosenberg vows, "Breaking Dawn will be sexier [than its predecessors.] I think we can get awfully sexy with a PG-13, I'm not worried about the rating. I know a lot of fans are like, 'We have...

Why Couldn't Eclipse Beat New Moon?

2010-07-13T14:04:00.002+08:00

Why Couldn't Eclipse Beat New Moon?

UPDATE: Final numbers out today show Eclipse had a bigger-than-estimated weekend, and upped its overall domestic take to $176.4 million. The film is now just $2.5 million off the pace of New Moon. And now back to your debate…

________

Did fireworks scare off fang-girls? Did Team Jacob's screams scare off the unaligned crowds? Why couldn't Eclipse's box-office start quite match New Moon's?

Here are the findings on the new Twilight movie's Fourth of July weekend:

• For starters, the $68 million Eclipse made lots and lots and lots of money: $82.5 million from Friday-Monday alone, per the latest estimates.

• Since opening Wednesday, Eclipse has sucked up $175.3 million domestically, the biggest six-day haul of the year, and the eighth-biggest in Hollywood history.

• Overall, Eclipse set three records of note: biggest midnight gross ever, biggest Wednesday ever; and, widest release ever.

And yet…

Despite its stellar stats, Eclipse is still running slightly behind New Moon, which, after six days, had taken in $178.9 million (for sixth on the all-time list).

The difference between the two Twilight Saga siblings is small—less than $4 million—and New Moon's slightly faster start was mainly aided by the calendar, with New Moon taking full advantage of its Friday opening day.

Eclipse, however, was not thrown to the wolves by Summit Entertainment. While its Wednesday opening pretty much prevented it from vying for opening weekend (or New Moon) records, its summer setting could lead to bigger mid-week grosses—and, eventually, bigger-than-New Moon grosses.

Other notable box-office factoids:

• Toy Story 3 was to crack $300 million overall domestically today—its 18th day in release. Only six films have reached that milestone faster, per Box Office Mojo.

• With a $53.2 million Friday-Monday gross, The Last Airbender didn't crash, but its fuel may be about to give out. Opening-weekend audiences graded the critically trashed fantasy epic a so-so C, the Los Angeles Times reported. (By comparison, the Twilight faithful awarded Eclipse an A.)

Here's an updated look at the Fourth of July holiday weekend's top-grossing films, per Friday-Monday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, $82.5 million
The Last Airbender, $53.2 million
Toy Story 3, $42.2 million
Grown Ups, $26.5 million
Knight and Day, $14 million
The Karate Kid, $11.5 million
The A-Team, $4.3 million
Get Him to the Greek, $1.6 million
Shrek Forever After, $1.3 million
Cyrus, $1 million

Eclipse Star Linked To Miss Europe!

2010-07-13T13:52:00.000+08:00

Robert Pattinson - look at what your life could be!

Xavier Samuel, or R-Patz 2.0 if you prefer, has reportedly started dating former Miss Europe, Shermine Shahrivar.

The pair were spotted getting very "affectionate" while enjoying NYC over the weekend and the Eclipse star even brought Shermine along to the premiere of The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

A handsome guy like that deserves someone equally as pretty and charming.

Do you hear us R-Patz??? EQUALLY!!! No sour puss puss on her!

Taylor Lautner: I'll Only Flash My Abs for Certain Roles

2010-06-16T20:15:00.000+08:00

Just because Taylor Lautner shows off a ripped six-pack in New Moon doesn't mean he's comfortable doing it again – and again. If the role for a future movie isn't right – sorry, ladies – he won't be baring those famous washboard abs.

"Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt [in Valentine's Day]. The script said we were walking into school and [my character] Willy takes off his shirt. I said, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out," he tells the July issue of GQ magazine, on newsstands June 22.

"He's gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school?" recalls Lautner, 18. "No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it's written in the book that way. And there's reasons behind it."

Watch 8 new scenes from Twilight: Eclipse

2010-06-15T19:04:00.000+08:00

As expected, more spoilers have arrived for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie. The release date is not for another 3 weeks, but the film is already breaking records in pre-sales. As the big June 30th date approaches, the studios are pushing out more and more teaser trailers and clips. It normally would not seem right ruining a film with so many preview clips like these, but let’s face it, if you are watching these clips you are probably a fan of the books, and further more are probably a fan of the movies. Which means, if you are a true fan you will probably see Eclipse at least twice in the theaters, so what’s one more time.
In an attempt to build more hype and appeal for the film, the past clips and trailers have been heavy in action scenes. But don’t worry, in these clips you will see Twilight get back to what it does best; melodrama. In this batch of clips you will see some new faces, people constantly getting out of cars, a lot of awkward pauses, and plenty of boys without shirts; everything you want Twilight to be. Enjoy.

Kristen Takes a Break With the Eclipse Cast as New Moon Picks Up Teen Choice Nominations!

2010-06-15T18:49:00.000+08:00

The Eclipse cast gathered in LA this weekend for their big junket, and many of the stars stepped outside to get fresh air during breaks. Xavier Samuel and Dakota Fanning were on one balcony, with Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene, and Kellan Lutz sharing another off their suite. Ashley and Kellan stuck together and during our interview joked about their dueling bikini and shirtless magazine covers. Peter Facinelli, meanwhile, had a quick smoke after bonding with his on-screen wife. Kristen Stewart lit up and shared an animated conversation similar to her adorable and expressive Q&A session with Robert Pattinson the day before. Speaking of Rob, his press day was shorter than everyone else's as he's still putting in long hours on Water for Elephants. The whole gang gets along well, and they'll have another chance to reconvene at the Teen Choice Awards. The nominees were just announced, and New Moon is up five times

New 'New Moon' Trailer Includes More Edward, More Volturi

2009-09-21T19:19:00.001+08:00

Fans asked and Summit Entertainment has delivered. The second full-length "New Moon" trailer contains everything the first teaser trailer and the "Meet Jacob Black" trailer have not: more Volturi, more werewolves and more visions of Edward. The newest trailer is being shown before screenings of "Sorority Row" (out today), but an extended version will also be exclusively shown at the VMAs on Sunday, presented by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

Download our special "New Moon" countdown widget here to be sure you don't miss the start of the VMAs. Once the super-exclusive trailer airs on TV, it will turn into a video player, for your viewing, and re-viewing, pleasure!

If the focus of the "New Moon" teaser trailer was on the breakup, and the focus of "Meet Jacob Black" was, obviously, to introduce a new werewolf Jacob, then the focus of this newest trailer is on what comes next. Most of the clip is set in Italy at the end of the film, when Bella is (spoiler!) trying to stop Edward from killing himself by turning himself over to the Volturi.

But there is much more to the trailer than just Alice's shiny yellow Porsche. The element that will probably get the most people excited is the inclusion of Dakota Fanning as the evil vampire Jane (only briefly glimpsed in the last trailer), who has the power to create illusions of pain. The new trailer opens up with a shot of her in Volturi garb and then shows the rest of the Volturi guard before revealing Michael Sheen's Aro — the head of the Volturi — snapping a poor human's neck.

The trailer then hits lightly on Edward breaking up with Bella and the heartbreaking shot of her lying bereft on the forest floor. But it quickly moves on to Bella seeing a vision of Edward with his car at Forks High, and then we see Jacob comforting her after the fact. One of the locations the twosome are sitting at is the movie theater in the scene Mike Welch and Taylor Lautner fought so hard to keep in the film.

Director Chris Weitz showed how he kicked the CGI up to the next level by including clips of Bella trying to outrace visions of Edward on her motorcycle and a lot more of the cliff jump than was showed in "Meet Jacob Black." It is almost a work of art as Bella is floating under the water and sees Edward hovering upside down next to her after her jump. When an arm comes to pull her out of the water, she reaches out to touch Edward, and the illusion gets muddled and washed away.

The rest of the trailer revolves around Alice telling Bella about Edward's plan, Bella's epic run to save him, hints of some abs as Edward prepares to walk shirtless into the sunlight and some shots of the Volturi looking ready to kill spliced with a full wolf pack transformation. Bella's token line, "No, Edward, don't!" is thrown in for good measure, and the trailer ends on a high note, with Jane stating, "This may hurt just a little."

It will be interesting to see what extra footage will be added to the trailer at the VMAs, though an extension of any of the scenes shown will be something to look forward to. In the spirit of "Twilight Saga" clips shown at MTV awards shows, whatever is shown is sure to be enough to whip fans into a frenzy.

Twilight Saga Development, how it came about

2009-08-21T18:51:00.000+08:00

Meyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream on June 2, 2003. The dream was about a human girl, and a vampire who was in love with her but thirsted for her blood. Based on this dream, Meyer wrote the transcript of what is now Chapter 13 of the book. In a matter of three months she had transformed her dream into a completed novel, though she claims that she never intended to publish Twilight and was writing for her own enjoyment. Her sister's response towards the book was enthusiastic and she persuaded Meyer to send the manuscript to literary agencies. Of the 15 letters she wrote, five went unanswered, nine brought rejections, and the last was a positive response from Jodi Reamer of Writers House.

Twilight Book Cover

2009-08-20T18:49:00.000+08:00

Stephenie Meyer has stated that the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the Book of Genesis. It symbolizes Bella and Edward's love, which is forbidden, similar to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as is implied by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that is quoted at the beginning of the book. It also represents Bella's knowledge of what good and evil are, and the choice that she has in partaking of the "forbidden fruit", Edward, or choosing not to see him.[14] An alternate cover features Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the actors who play Bella and Edward, respectively, in the film adaptation.

Twilight Plot summary

2009-08-19T18:46:00.000+08:00

Isabella "Bella" Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, while her mother, Renée, travels with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys compete for shy Bella's attention.

When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. He disappears for a few days, but warms up to Bella upon his return; their newfound relationship reaches a climax when Bella is nearly run over by a fellow classmate's van in the school parking lot. Seemingly defying the laws of physics, Edward saves her life when he instantaneously appears next to her and stops the van with his bare hands.

Bella becomes hellbent on figuring out how Edward saved her life, and constantly pesters him with questions. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires who drink animal blood rather than human. Edward confesses that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks. James, a tracker vampire who is intrigued by the Cullens' relationship with a human, wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens attempt to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. There, Bella receives a phone call from James, who claims he is holding her mother captive. When Bella surrenders herself, James attacks her, but Edward, along with the other Cullens, rescues Bella and destroys James. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom from her system before it can spread and transform her into a vampire, and she is then sent to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses.
