Ashley Greene Finds Being a Role Model Scary
Ashley Greene had a “mini-breakdown” over the scrutiny her wardrobe received.
The 22-year-old actress admits she still feels uneasy that fans of the The Twilight Saga - in which she plays Alice Cullen - view her as a role model but refuses to put on an act to please other people.
“There was a moment in time where I was kind of having this mini-breakdown because it was all very new, and it was all being thrown at me really quickly, and I was going, ‘Why are people reporting on this? Why do people care what I’m wearing or what I’m eating, and why are people looking down on me because I’m not wearing high heels?’ That’s the downside to being in the public eye. When girls come up and say, ‘You’re my role model,’ it’s really flattering, but it’s also really scary because I’m not perfect and I’m going to make mistakes. I’ve just decided that I have to continue to live my life and do what I do. Hopefully, people love me because of who I am, not who I pretend to be.”
The actress was working as a waitress when she landed the role and is still amazed at how quickly her life changed because she hasn’t yet had time to reflect on her success.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Red Carpet,
Apparently it’s not just screaming women who pine for Taylor Lautner—A-list, Oscar-winning actors like Jamie Foxx enjoy Twilight!
Lautner recently told George Lopez on his show, Lopez Tonight, about his surprising run-in with the star at last year’s premiere of the first film:
“There’s tons of fans and we hear all of these high pitch voices and we hear ‘Rah, rah, Taylor, Taylor!’ All of a sudden I hear this deep voice behind me: ‘Taylor, Taylor!’ .... And this guy walks up to me and he goes ‘Hey ... my daughter is a huge fan, and I’m a huge fan is there any way I can get a picture with you. I’m Jamie Foxx.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Can I get a picture with you?’”

Robert Pattinson Willing to Get Naked for Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rumors,
Listen closely, ladies: Robert Pattinson is willing to get naked on screen for the right role.
The British actor, who plays vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies, would consider taking his clothes off if he thought the part required it.
“I think it would depend on what it is. And I don’t think a lot of people would really want to see that. I think it would ruin the illusion!”
Although he would be prepared to strip for a movie, the 23-year-old star admits he finds nudity embarrassing and struggled when he had to shoot explicit scenes for the 2008 movie Little Ashes, in which he played a young Salvador Dali.
“It’s funny because Spanish people have no problem with nudity at all, and I mean at all. And English people obviously do have the most enormous problem with it. Little things, like when I saw my father getting changed for swimming, I was traumatized by it… I kind of freaked out a bit.”
Taylor Lautner Happy to Ditch the Wig
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Style,
Teenage hunk Taylor Lautner loves having short hair again after being forced to wear a long wig for his new movie.
The 17-year-old actor had to don lengthy tresses for upcoming film New Moon, but was relieved to be told he could ditch it for good in the second half of the sequel: “I would not want that hair. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t even recognize myself.”
The star also discovered he was a book worm after reading the novels the movie series is based on. Taylor admits he never really read much before picking up Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga series - and then he was hooked:
“As a matter of fact, I was not a book reader at all. The only books I ever read were the ones I was forced to in school. But when I started reading this book series, I fell in love with the characters and started turning the pages one after another. It was crazy. I never thought I could do that. But I love this story. This franchise has everything in it - romance, action, suspense. It has a dark side to it.”

Cougars Target Taylor Lautner
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Style,
While his New Moon co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are fighting tabloids about their “non-existent” romance, Taylor Lautner is fending from 40 year-old women. Who knew that cougars had a thing for wolves?
“I’ve had women in their 40s come up to me and ask if I can sign their underwear! The weirdest thing is that their daughters are with them. I’m at a signing and the mom and the daughter come up, and the mom is the one freaking out. The moms are crazier than the daughters, going: ‘Taylor, I’m wearing your Team Taylor panties, can you sign ‘em?’ And the daughter’s in the background, going: ‘Urrghh, Mom!’”
Here I thought that Lindsay Lohan‘s mom was embarrassing!
Well, can we really blame them? He does look awfully hot in those suits. He ought to take it as a compliment—he might score someone as hot as Demi Moore in the future. Oh wait—he has a hot girlfriend already!

Robert Pattinson Falls Back on Being English
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Despite millions of screaming girls across the globe who think otherwise, Robert Pattinson says being English means he doesn’t have to worry too much about his looks.
The New Moon heartthrob claims there’s less pressure on him than his US counterparts to have a perfect appearance because British people are renowned for their bad teeth.
“I just wanted to make an American film, and I wanted to be relatively good in it. I have never pushed to do anything. As soon as you start going to the gym every day and try to look like a movie star, you’re going down a worrisome track. Being an English guy you get a lot more breaks. You’re allowed to look a little worse. It’s that thing about English teeth. Although Canadian teeth are pretty bad as well!”
Robert also admits he finds it difficult to cope with his worldwide fame: “It worries me, because the whole Twilight thing keeps getting bigger and bigger, and now it’s so big that even my own ego can’t deal with it. A certain amount of success you can mentally deal with, but there’s a point where you think, ‘Jesus Christ, what is this? I’m not that great!’ ”
