ET: Post Teen Choice Awards

The video is spoiler free and is hilarious to watch Kristen Stewart do a Robert Pattinson impression and for the whole cast to talk about Rob’s hair.

Making Taylor Lautner Blush

Minor spoilers at the beginning of this video mentioning the number of awards won by Twilight, but not who won what. Taylor talks about David Slade, Rachelle, and then Shaun gets him to blush.

The video Shaun references regarding Selena (who is Team Edward,btw) is below.

And in just to round things out, Shaun decided to show Ashley Greene the same photo. You kind of feel like everyone is going to go up to Taylor and pinch his cheeks immediately after.

The Twilight Cast After The Teen Choice Awards

There is a minor spoiler at the beginning of this video that states how many awards Twilight won, but they don’t tell you specifically who won what. There’s a real comedy moment at the end as Robert Pattinson is whisked past by security. You get the sense if he had stopped, they would have picked him up and carried him off.

Taylor Lautner Thanks Fans

On his way into the taping of the Teen Choice Awards last night, Taylor Lautner thanked fans for their support of the movie and him. The video is spoiler free for award show results.

Catherine Hardwicke: Bryce Dallas Howard Original Choice

According to The LA Times,  Catherine Hardwicke, who commented at the taping of the Teen Choice Awards,claims Bryce Dallas Howard was the original choice to play Victoria. (Be advised if you click the article there are spoilers for the results of the awards show that airs tonight.)

Jackson Rathbone Action Figure?

Well no one is running out to make a Jasper Hale action figure that we know of; however, don’t give up hope for an action figure based on Jackson.

It seems that The Last Airbender, the M. Night Shyamalan movie that Jackson filmed all summer that comes out at the same time as Eclipse, is all about action figures.

IESB Ian Somerhalder’s Take on The Vampire Craze

Ian Somerhalder, probably most famous for playing Boone on the first season of LOST, currently is featured in The Vampire Diaries. Christina Radish from IESB asked him why he thinks vampires seem to be in these days.

“Q: What is it about vampires, in particular? Why are vampires so hot right now?

Ian: That I don’t know. A very big element of it is that Twilight did so well at the box office. But, and this is just completely subjective conjecture, in the last five years, the movie industry, especially with strikes and all these things, has started to fall off the map. It’s these big, huge movies, like Iron Man and Batman, that are big comic book series films, that are making these studios all this cash, and the other movies have just fallen to the wayside, which is kind of crazy. The mythology behind vampires was always there, and it’s never really gone away, but now you have this market for it. They’re fun. There’s an element of power. They’re sexy, they’re dangerous, they’re beautiful and there is something that draws you to them. I don’t know who can explain it, but it’s here, and it’s here for awhile. There is something about the non-human of it all, which allows these characters to do things that we can’t do, and there’s a lot of escapism in that.”

Ian mentions Twilight several other times in the interview. Check it out on IESB.
