Mike Welch Owes Taylor Lautner & Kristen Stewart

According to Mike Welch, he owes it entirely to Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner that he has added screen time in New Moon.

“Kristen [Stewart] and Taylor [Lautner] had to lobby to get this one scene in the film that wasn’t originally in — and I am forever indebted to them for that,” revealed Mike Welch, citing a beloved moment from Stephenie Meyer’s “New Moon” novel. “There’s a scene that’s in the book, the three-way date between Jacob and Bella and Mike, where Mike ends up getting sick, and it’s just very awkward.”

Kristen Stewart: Metro Canada Interview

Kristen Stewart is number four in Metro Canada’s ongoing five-part series. They have previously given an overview, talked with Chris Weitz and Taylor Lautner, and next up they are promising Robert Pattinson.  On a side note, in a year and a half of covering movie related stories, this is hands down the best Kristen Stewart interview we’ve seen.

What are the changes in this second installment? Your character Bella takes risks again…

Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she’s in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she’s so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It’s just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you’ve ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you’re dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean.


Oddly, we have a character that’s warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it’s truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it’s not comfortable, it’s not practical and it’s not a good idea. So it’s really a very strong thing to do. It takes someone who really trusts themselves…”

So what does Kristen prefer, the werewolf or the vampire?

Kristen shouldn’t open her mouth (Laughs). Kristen is entirely torn. Kristen should stop using her name in the third person…”

Kristen Stewart Goes Joan Jett

Both Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have been really busy on the set of The Runaways where they are doing everything from vocal practice to guitar lessons.

RadarOnline caught Kristen’s new look for the film. It may not be the final look, but it seems to be a great first run. What do you think?

Kristen Stewart Teen Vogue’s Ten Best Dressed

Kristen Stewart landed in the number 1 position in Teen Vogue’s 10 Best Dressed of May list for the outfit she wore to the MTV movie awards.

Kristen’s combo of urban-hip red and black dress with Chuck Taylors is exactly the kind of look that works for the MTV movie awards: a little off-beat, but not so off-beat people are going “what was she thinking”. MTV awards is probably the only awards ceremony in town where looking too dressy is a major no-no.

Aside from pulling the look together, the Chucks helped because Kristen was suffering from a twisted ankle.

Kristen Stewart in Allure Magazine in November

Allure magazine has solved the mystery of just what Kristen was shooting on the Santa Monica Pier yesterday.

“Yesterday we had a photo shoot with New Moon star Kristen Stewart outside on the Santa Monica Pier—and if you think she looks freaking amazing in these pictures (no surprise, makeup artist Dick Page and hairstylist Serge Normant were on hand), wait until you see the real thing. Our photographs, shot by Michael Thompson, will be on Allure‘s November cover…”

TY to Kaila.

New Moon Shoots At Local Pool

Both Vancity Allie and Twilight Gossip have coverage of a one-day shoot at a local pool. The assumption is that they used it to film part of the cliff diving scene given the looming presence of green screens that are the size of a small apartment building.

They would then put in the footage they shot almost a month ago of the British Columbia coastline ( reported as South Beach, located near Wickaninnish Beach inside Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and Incinerator Rock at Long Beach) post-production. Both Kristen and Taylor were on the site. There was no reported sign of other members of the wolf pack.

Taylor and Kristen missed attending anything associated with the DVD release because they were off filming the beach portion of the cliff diving scene during some really awful weather.

We really hope they heated the water for Taylor Lautner who came out, wet hair and all, to sign fan autographs.

Vancity Allie Meets Cast At The Dills Show

Vancity Allie attended the Dills Show and who did she meet: Nikki, Taylor, and Kristen.

If you haven’t heard the Dills music before there is a great video linked on teh Vancity Aliie Blog, check them out. They have a great sound!

“I asked her[lead singer Sage] if I could take photos of my show and she said that was cool. Nikki Reed herself came out and sat right in front for half the show to take photos of her friend, support her music, take videos, and dance along to the music. What a great friend! They were talking/shouting to each other during the show the entire time, and Nikki was giving song suggestions.

New Moon Actors Talk to Aussie Press

Both Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene gave recent interviews to Australian papers.

In talking to the Sun Herald Ashley Greene talks about the adjustment to filming schedules, being under the paparazzi’s lenses, and denies that she and Jackson Rathbone are dating, despite a mutual attraction. Ashley said:

“I’m still getting used to the go, go, go Hollywood lifestyle which has definitely thrown me into a realm where I’m struggling a little bit…As an actor you want people to know you and there are times you want your pictures taken, but it’s unnerving to walk out of a venue with friends and there are 20 people flashing lights in your face. Do you know how bright those lights are?”

Kristen talked to the Sunday Morning Herald, where she let them know that she loves the Land Down Under:

“I actually don’t mind Vegemite,” she says, laughing. “I know most Americans can’t stand the smell, taste or look of it but I like it…I love Australia and we have a lot of great family and friends down there. I can’t wait to get back…”


Kristen Stewart Celebrates With the Cast

It seems like Kristen had a much better time at her birthday this year than last year. Last year she got a cake and was treated to a late night filming since she was no longer a minor, she could now work late nights and extended hours.

This year, Kristen and cast members celebrated at Chill Winston, whose site at least has non-annoying and quick-loading flash if you want to check out their menu.

The cast waved to passers-by and signed a few authographs. Even though he’s unidentified in the photo, we’d swear that it’s Sam Bradley in the backseat of rob’s Taxi. Sam’s playing a bunch of gigs in the Vancouver area.
