Billy Burke: On Having a Bella in Training
MTV Q & A With Jamie Campbell Bower, Kellan Lutz, and Billy Burke
“Kellan Lutz
Q: We know there will be more Edward in the “New Moon” movie than there was in the book, but did you and the other Cullens ever try to lobby for more screen time as well?
Lutz: I think I really tried to. I tried to throw in my two cents, to see if Emmett and Rosalie could have a honeymoon again in Italy so we could be around and be part of the whole situation of Edward, Alice and Bella. [But the script] has to really follow the book, because the fans are so die-hard about what happened in the book. I mean, I had a line that was in the [“Twilight”] trailers that wasn’t in the book, and I heard some of the fans saying, “That’s not in the book!” Like, “What the heck is up with that?” So, in “New Moon,” the script is very similar to the book and the Cullens are in where they would be in, and they aren’t put in anywhere else.
MTV: It would be kind of cheesy if Edward and Bella just happened to bump into the Cullens in Italy.
Lutz: [Laughs.] Well, I thought it would be a fun idea. Because my character, as well as Nikki Reed’s Rosalie, we go away to college. We’re a year older, along with Jasper and Alice, so I think it could be a cool thing to maybe show a clip of them somewhere — a fun honeymoon, away from the rest of the family. But, no.”
Billy Burke to Star in Highland Park
According to MTV:
“Bella’s father is going from Team Jacob to Team Save the McGregor Library. Following his reprisal of the character Charlie Swan in this fall’s “Twilight,” sequel “New Moon,” actor Billy Burke will appear in a little, charitable film titled “Highland Park,” according to a report in Variety. Shooting is already underway in Michigan, with Danny Glover and Parker Posey starring.”

Billy Burke IPhone App Launches
Billy Burke’s IPhone app has finally been launched. Rob Defraco’s 211 Me is the outlet that designed it. Rob is the guy who made the infamous Twitter bet with Peter Facinelli and then did the resulting bikini dance down Hollywood Blvd.
Billy’s app is pretty much set up the way Peter’s is. Some of the cool content includes exclusive photos, messages, and a locator of important locations in Billy’s life.
Billy Burke Comments to Ted Casablanca
Ted Casablanca of E! caught up with Billy Burke at a charity poker tournament at the Playboy mansion and asked him a few questions about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Billy placed 20th overall in the tournament (according to Billy’s Twitter). Billy blamed not doing better on the “distractions”.
Here’s some of what Billy said to E! Ted Casablanca hasn’t spun another Robsten story out of it.
When asked about the pregnancy rumors, “Rob is probably pregnant with my child. It’s funny no one picked up on me and Rob’s affair.”
How do you think Rob’s handling all this attention? He seems stressed out on the set of his new movie, Remember Me… Think R.Pattz would ever get totally fed up with it and quit acting altogether?
“You mean pulling a Joaquin Phoenix? I doubt he would go that route. He’s got a lot of talent. He’s got his art, as opposed to being bogged down by all this bulls–t. I think he’s handling it well. I feel a little bit for [Rob and Kristen]. I think [the attention] was unexpected by both of them.”
Biily Burke IPhone App Coming This Week
Rob DeFranco, the guy who is best known for doing the bikini dance after losing a bet with Peter Facinelli, just announced that his company should have the Billy Burke IPhone app out this week. Aside from semi naked dancing down Hollywood Blvd. Rob actually designed Peter Facinelli’s IPhone app.
When ready you can get the app for your IPhone or ITouch. You can get current info here.
Let’s hope that Rob has the good sense not to make any bets with Billy, we don’t know that Billy would only let him get away with a bikini dance.
