AP Video: Nikki Reed at Teen Vogue Party

To other reporters at this same party, Nikki confirmed that Breaking Dawn starts shooting (likely principal photography) in a week and that the “script is awesome”.

Kristen Stewart Heading For Scream 2010

According to Marc Malken at E! (photo credit Tina Gill)

“The Twilight star [Kristen Stewart]has signed on to make an appearance at Spike TV’s Scream 2010 awards at L.A.’s Greek Theater. (Show tapes Oct. 16 and then airs three days later.)”

This is a pretty good sign that Eclipse has won several of the awards that it was up for, otherwise Kristen wouldn’t be there. Last year Taylor Lautner picked up the awards for the Twilight Saga including:

Best Fantasy Movie: Twilight
Best Fantasy Actor, Male:
Robert Pattinson, Twilight
Best Fantasy Actor, Female:
Kristen Stewart, Twilight
Breakout Performance, Male: Taylor Lautner, Twilight

This year Eclipse is up for a ton of awards, but not New Moon even though both movies qualified as far as release dates went. The thought is that the studio only submitted the last film so as not to compete against themselves and split the vote!

Nylon: Five Minutes With Nikki Reed

The folks at Nylon sent this over:

“People always say they move to New York for “the energy,” but that’s not quite true.  Really, they move to the big city for moments like last night, when we literally crashed (oops) into actress Nikki Reed.  She was hosting the Swatch New Gent launch at the Gansevoort Park hotel, and once we got over the shock of tripping over a Cullen, we asked the actress and writer a few questions.  Here’s what she said.

You’re wearing like four Swatches all together!  You look like Molly Ringwald in an ’80s movie!

I know, aren’t they cool?  I like how simple they are.  I think I learned how to tell time on one of these.

Besides Twilight, you’re in a new movie, Catch 44, with Deborah Ann Woll, right?
She’s so amazing.

Did you guys bond by talking about being vampires?
Ha, no!  (Pause)  Okay, yeah, kind of.  We did.  But even though she’s so great on True Blood, she’s so different from that character.  She’s so smart, and a little bit introverted, and just so thoughtful about everything.  I actually wrote a story about her and her boyfriend, who’s also wonderful, on my blog.

Stephenie Meyer Makes Forbes Power Women List

Stephenie Meyer is no stranger to the Forbes listings. She has previously appeared on their

2010 Successful Author List
2010 Celebrity 100 List
2009 Celebrity 100 List
2009 Hollywood’s Top Earning Women List

And Carlisle Cullen made the Wealthiest Fictional 15 list earlier this year

Stephenie has now made their Power Woman List coming in at the number 49

“Stephenie Meyer had held only one job, as a receptionist in an Arizona property company before penning the bestselling Twilight series, which has sold 116 million copies worldwide. Meyer’s vision of a world where vampires and teens co-exist may be to blame for the blood-lusting trend that continues four years later with TV series like The Vampire Diaries.”

Kellan Lutz Joins MTV’s Love is Louder Campaign

According to MTV:

“Kellan Lutz and Stephen Baldwin are the latest celebrities to lend their voices to MTV and Brittany Snow’s Love Is Louder campaign. The actors posted videos on Your.MTV.com letting young people know that no matter what, there is always someone or something to rely on in the face of adversity…In light of recent teen suicides linked to anti-gay bullying — specifically the death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi — MTV partnered with Snow and the Jed Foundation (with support from DoSomething.org, the Trevor Project, Reach Out, Active Minds and the Ad Council) to create Love Is Louder and help spread messages of love and hope to teens who feel they might have run out of options.”

Here is the video that Kellan posted.

Jackson Rathbone to Appear on the George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight program

According to the George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight website:

“To Twilight fans, Jackson is known as Jasper Hale – a vampire with the ability to manipulate emotions. But Jackson is more than your garden-variety brooding vampire. Born in Singapore, he lived in Indonesia, London, Connecticut, California and Norway before his family settled in Midland, Texas. In high school, he enrolled in a Michigan arts academy to focus on acting. While there, he met a couple of guys who are still part of his band, 100 Monkeys. His new movie, Girlfriend, is the story of a man with Down syndrome who has a tangled love affair with a single mother. Jackson, who also produced the movie, plays a troubled ex-boyfriend.”

The program taped today and airs Friday.

Nikki Reed Raising a Rescue Dog

Looks like Kellan Lutz isn’t the only Twilight actor to raise rescue animals. His two dogs, Kola and Kevin, are both from shelters. Nikki Reed has a rescue pet too, a pit bull named  Sydney. According to People Pets:

“In the Twilight saga, Nikki Reed plays a vampire who deals with werewolves — not to mention the curse of perpetual teen angst. But none of that could prepare the actress for her latest project: raising rescue dog Sydney.

“She’s a pit bull, and I’m all about tough dogs,” Reed told PEOPLEPets.com last Friday night at Teen Vogue‘s 8th Annual Young Hollywood Party in Los Angeles. “But she definitely has a screw loose!”

The actress rescued the 2 1/2-year-old from a shelter, and the two seemed to have an instant connection. But soon after the pooch came home, Reed started to notice a few, er, peculiar personality traits in her four-legged pal.

“I hate to say this, but she doesn’t like kids,” the actress admits, adding, “and she doesn’t like strollers … and she hates other animals.”
