Jackson Rathbone had some fun at a pre-Oscar party chatting with E!:
“It’s definitely sexy,” Jackson Rathbone told us at Leeza Gibbons’ Dare2Care Pre-Oscar Cocktail party of Edward and Bella’s highly-anticipated onscreen love-making. “It definitely qualifies as shmexaaay.”
How sexy?
“It’s a PG-13 movie, but also it is what it is and it’s a union,” Rathbone said. “They are consummating their relationship and they don’t just do it once, let’s put it that way.”
You can find the entire Tonner Twilight Doll collection here.
This is a cast photo that you don’t see every day. It also has six entirely legible (as legible sigs go) of the six actors in the photo: Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, and Elizabeth Reaser. It’s particularly difficult to get Elizabeth Reaser’s signature on anything since she doesn’t do a lot of events, and to have this complete set in good quality is a real rarity! Plus it’s 100% legit!
The item is being auctioned as part of the fundraising efforts for The Girlfriend Movie. They are currently raising funds for distribution here http://www.indiegogo.com/Girlfriend-2
You can bid on the photo here on EBay.
MTV’s Hollywood Crush has a great story up in how it is that the movie The Girlfriend, co-starring Jackson Rathbone, is looking for further funding. Indie films go to festivals like Sundance, Toronto, Tribecca etc. in the hopes of two things: critical acclaim and distribution funding.
Sometimes films are wildly lucky. For example, Charlie Bewley’s indie film “Like Crazy” won the top prize at Sundance and had three studios in a bidding war wanting to distribute it. There is even some OSCAR talk surrounding the film starting. Most films are not near as fortunate. Peter Facinelli even recently made a YouTube video to bring awareness to a friend’s project.
Director Justin Lerner and the production team Jerad Anderson, Kristina Lauren Anderson and Shaun O’Banion explained to MTV’s Hollywood Crush what the situation with The Girlfriend is:
“As many people know, the costs of finishing a film, making prints, submitting to festivals, as well as publicity and marketing (the big one) are, as Kevin Smith pointed out at Sundance this year, sometimes more costly than an indie film’s entire budget. Therein lies the dilemma for a complex, artistic, intelligent film like ours,” they wrote.
“So far, there has been a strong outpouring of support, and donations have been varied—as large as $100 and as small as $5 or $10… every little bit helps and allows us the chance of getting the film out to a wider audience, and to ensure that those who have supported the film may have an opportunity to see it in a theater near them. We also hope to donate a portion of the final amount to the NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society).”

The production team has set up a Indie Gogo site to try to raise funds http://www.indiegogo.com/Girlfriend-2 for your contribution there are a variety of perks ranging from having your name listed to meals with the cast.
There’s also a new item, on EBAY. It’s an 100% authentic, 8 X 10 glossy New Moon photo autographed by Kristen Stewart. Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson. Also the signatures look pretty good because it wasn’t signed in a rush, great collector’s item! You can bid on it on EBAY here.
If you can donate please do http://www.indiegogo.com/Girlfriend-2. The film has a positive message about people with Down’s Syndrome, and actor Evan Schneider does a wonderful job!

The movie, The Girlfriend, co-starring Jackson Rathbone is reaching out for help. The other day we mentioned how most indie films struggle for funding and hope for a distributor to pick them up. Recently, Peter Facinelli made a pitch for a friend’s film. Here is what the creative team behind The Girlfriend is doing according to their indiegogo site:
“Our Story:
Girlfriend recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and garnered audience and critical acclaim. This groundbreaking film was directed by talented first timer Justin Lerner and stars Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction), Shannon Woodward (“Raising Hope”), Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga, Last Airbender), and newcomer Evan Sneider, who delivers an unforgettable powerful performance.
We want to deliver Girlfriend to you as soon as possible. Our goal is to get it out in as many theatres as we can.
We are looking to raise funds to pay for the marketing and promotion of the film. If we are able to raise enough, we will be able to bring the film to more cities than in our initial release.
*Once Girlfriend is released a percentage of the profits will be donated to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS).”
After this initial pitch there are a variety of ways you can donate and different levels of donation can get you everything from autographs to costumes the actors wore.
Many of you music aficionados probably hear the word “Fender” and don’t think “car bumper”. Your mind immediately goes to arguable the premiere manufacturer of guitars, Fender.
Well Jackson Rathbone along with current music greats like Keith Urban and Brian Whitford of Areosmith (just to name a few), checked out the latest the company has to offer at a showcase.
According to the company’s blog:
“Although known worldwide for his role as Jasper on the uber popular film Twilight, Jackson Rathbone is also in a band called 100 Monkeys. The actor/musician check out our Fender bass amps and then passed some time in the Fender Acoustics booth, laying down a few licks on Banjo.”
Check out the full coverage of the event here. The people attending reads like a who’s who of future inductees to the Rock and Roll and Country Music Halls of Fame.

The preview video is above. The show airs Friday (January 21st) on The Seven at 5 EST/4 Central.
The Daily Blam had the chance to fire a few questions at Jackson Rathbone covering his music, TV appearances, future films, and Breaking Dawn.
“Talking with Jackson about the upcoming two-part film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, which is currently shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he mentioned he still had “a bit” of filming left for his role as Jasper Hale. Besides that, he remained tight-lipped about the project. When asked whether his character and Renesmee (daughter of Bella and Edward) may have any interaction not included in the novel, Jackson cryptically joked, “Shhh…. it’s rabbit season!”
Another film franchise Jackson is a part of with a large, yet wildly different, following is The Last Airbender based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon. No word has been released whether the sequel film (or, Book Two, to Air Bender fans) has been greenlit, though Rathbone remains optimistic.
Ever comedic, Rathbone said he prepares for his roles in popular franchise like Last Airbender and Twilight by, “eating my veggies, drinking lots of black coffee, and going to church.”
I had the time to throw one more question at Jackson, which actually came from one of our other Correspondents Christopher Lee, who wanted to know the actor’s thoughts on the current craze of comic book derived movies and what, if any, comic book character would most like to portray on screen.
“It’s a bigger comic universe… I always thought I’d make a great young Nightcrawler… or Forge… I’ve always been a huge fan of X-Men and hope to one day join in on the growing ensemble of characters. I also do like to portray bad guys… Spawn remake anyone?”
