Kristen Stewart's tattoos

We saw recently that Kristen Stewart got a tattoo (turns out more than one) There were a lot of people speculating over what the tattoo may be of, well, now we know...

Here is the info from when she got the tat on a road trip with friends: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/kristen-stewart-tattoo_n_3491368.html?utm_hp_ref=kristen-stewart

 

Looks like an infinity sign on one wrist and 4 lines on the other... what do you think the significance is? They are pretty small, simple, but I like them... I actually thought about an infinity sign tat in the past, but went for a more complex design....

Breaking Dawn 2 - SPOILERS

I refused to post spoilers until after opening weekend. If you have not seen the film yet DO NOT READ ON!!!!

I am not kidding, you must experience this movie without spoilers to fully appreciate the journey!

That being said, if you HAVE seen the movie, feel free to click to read more....

Who was duped?

I mean by now most people have seen the movie, lived through the "twist" and.... were you believing?

I even said, while sobbing, "this must be a vision" and "the amazon is making them see this" but somehow, believed it was happening... Stephenie Meyer produced, she approved it and she wanted it to end with a bang..... boy did it ever!

I saw the movie again today with my husband and daughter, both who, like me, believed this was actually happening... I can never take back the vision of Carlisle's head... ever...

I have to say, I loved the movie, best one yet. Not only the homage to past movies through Bella "letting Edward in" or the credits that recognized everyone involved in all of these movies, but the fight scene.

When I read Breaking Dawn, I have to admit, I didn't love it. I really hated that when the Volturi and Cullens and witnesses all got together, the half vampire child came with Alice and Jasper and everyone just agreed to disagree... "my bad, as you were" BORING!!!

Even in Harry Potter, some of our beloved characters died! And I kind of wished there had been some bloodshed in Breaking Dawn.

When they cast all the new covens, I guessed that it was so they could kill them off and create the action and battle required in a movie, without breaking fans hearts quite as bad, sinve they weren't covens or characters we loved so dearly from the books.

Never did I imagine such an epic battle, what an emotional rollercoaster!

More on that in a moment, let's start from the start.....

From the start

I had seen the opening 10 minutes or so from Comic-Con. I loved seeing Bella-Vampire hunt, it was so epic. I mean the speed, the strength, the interactions with Edward and finally when she saves a deer to feed on the mountain lion? awesomeness!

Sex Scenes

PG-13, you have done me right ;) I thought it was a perfect mix of romance and hot, steamy, love.... the banter after by the fire was sweet and the close-up skin shots were perfect.... yes!

Jacob, Imprinting, Wolves

I loved everything about this. From when she comments on his stank, to when she drags him out of the house to beat his ass for imprinting on her daughter and nicknaming her Nessie "after the Loch Ness Monster?" bahahaha perfect combination of emotion and humour throughout these scenes. I also have to say I loved Rosalie's facial expressions and comments when Jacob has to tell Bella about the imprinting and of course all the Cullen's, in particular Edward, when Bella is kicking Jacob's ass.

Soundtrack

Amazing, as always, but this one was especially moving. I am creating the scene-by-scene list as always, stay tuned for link.

Renesme

Less creepy than I thought. Knowing what Mackenzie Foy looks like made the CGI younger Renesme's a little strange, but not robotic strange, thankfully. The distance between the eyes was a bit distracting, but it worked out ok. I really loved the flashforward of Alice's vision to mom, dad, baby and wolf boy all teenagers hanging out. Made it a lot less creepy right? right?

Covens

Ok., some covens were awesome.... when Guri and Noel appeared I was giggling and when they spoke, I died. So funny! I really loved them, actually I loved Taylor's bug-eyed look and giggle as Jacob when talking to Bella in the car. "Dracula one and dracula two" bahahahah

Loved the Amazon ladies, having seen them in real life, they really are tall, strong women, perfect casting. I wish Erik Odom had more screen time, he is so awesome! I guess having met them at COmic-Con and then at Fan Camp I was disappointed at how little screen time and speaking lines most of them had.

I really loved Kate and Garrett together, and the camp fire when the vamps share war stories, too fun! Alistar was awesome and really, overall I thought they were all pretty amazing, if only we saw more of each of them.

Battle

Ok the big "twist" I mentioned it above a bit, but honestly, best ever! For all the reasons above, but also because it was just enough action to get even non-twi-fans into the movie. My husband loved it! One thing I did find out from awesome @Jaymes805 was that this whole "scene" was in the book, kind of:

"Alice gave Aro the excuse he needed to get out of the fight. If he hadn't been so terrified of Bella, he probably would have gone ahead with his original plan."

Now, not many of us would have read into that one sentence the twenty minute insanity that took place on screen.... I joked that the one sentence = 20 terrifying movie minutes, a xanax and a box of tissues.

Overall

Best so far! Bill Condon is god.

What did you think????

Breaking Dawn Part 2 - alleged re-shoot scenes are...

When these types of "news sources" report things I am always hesitant to believe, or even blog/link.

Who is their "insider" and how "inside" do you have to be to figure out there may be some "kissing" in the reshoots?

Additionally, Bill Condon said he wanted to tighten up some shots, and given who is in town,w e can assume some of that is battle....

call me cynical but this article did very little for me - ha - even so, here you have it, "insiders report on reshoots"

Hollywood Life reports:

Rob and Kristen are filming new Edward and Bella kissing scenes for ‘Breaking Dawn, Part 2,’ a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY! Read on for more details about what they’ll be doing!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be packing on the PDA during the Twilight re-shoots happening right now in Vancouver, sources close to the shoot tell HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

“Its certain that Kristen and Rob will be kissing during the reshoots,” our source says.

Sounds like such tough work for a couple who are so deeply in love! Shooting will be devoted to romance and action — which is what we’re looking forward to most!

Plus, Twilight director Bill Condon wants to tighten up some action scenes that during the editing process really haven’t been as completed as he had hoped. He wants to make sure he has enough footage to edit around an R rating.

That comes as no surprise since Bella and Edward will be having LOTS of hot vampire sex in the new film! After all, they already had a tough time getting an R rating for Breaking Dawn, Part 1.

Who can forget that steamy honeymoon sex scene?!

The actors will also be recording their voices and filming various reaction shots, our source says.

Kristen, 22, will be doing most of the work while reshoots occur. The film still has a lot of work to be done to it and may be edited on up until the film hits theaters November 16.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you excited to see Rob and Kristen get to kiss during the Breaking Dawn, Part 2 reshoots?

Tippett Studio's discusses Breaking Dawn Special Effects including "the birth"

Collider talked to Tippet Studio's about the special effects in Breaking Dawn. This is the studio that brought us realistic wolves in New Moon and continues to bring the goods with the birth scene everyone is anxious to see....

While Tippett talked about working with director Bill Condon and how the film has over a thousand visual effects, Rosengrant talked about the Bella birth sequence and how they combined makeup effects on Kristen Stewart with CGI to make her look extra thin. Also, they’re using a “little bit of puppets and some hybrid effects. Hopefully we bring a realism to that sequence.”

Remember When? Casting Twilight Saga

Do you remember (or did you know) that people were not entirely happy with Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan? There was OUTRAGE over casting Robert Pattinson as Edward... fans had much to say (as they do now about Hunger Games) and Twilight Lexicon relfects on the journey.

Twilight Lexicon wrote an awesome article on the casting of the Twilight Saga Movies and fans reactions to the casting as it occured over the past few years!

For Bella Swan, fans debated over Emily Browning, Alexis Bledel, and Danielle Panabaker as front runners. Fan wanted a true brunette with a small frame and a kind of innocence to her. (Keep in mind that the casting for the film happened before Breaking Dawn was published!) When Kristen Stewart landed the role, the feeling we got at the time from the fandom was that fans weren’t completely thrilled, but they were at least happy that Bella wasn’t being played by a Disney-esque actress and that the film was at least being made.

As fans waited casting of Edward Cullen Stephenie Meyer wrote:

For anyone who’s visited my site, this is not really news. After reading through your comments, though, I felt the need to reiterate a few things:
1) I did not choose Kristen Stewart to play Bella. Summit films choose her. I’m happy with their choice, but it was never up to me.
2) Similarly, I have no choice in the matter of who will play Edward, Alice, or any of the other characters. I have made suggestions, but no one at Summit is obligated to listen to my suggestions. They’re nice enough to let me bug them, but even that is more than I contractually have the right to expect.
3) Begging me to choose a good Edward is a waste of your typing time.
But since we’re on the subject of Edward, I’d like to give you all a little advice (the same advice I’m giving myself). To my knowledge, no one has been cast for the role yet, but here are some things for us to repeat to ourselves daily as we wait for the news:
1) Do not expect the actor who plays Edward to fit your preconceived notions of the character. No one is that perfect; that’s why he’s fictional.
2) DO expect that the actor won’t “look like Edward” to you. Try to be open-minded about that. Headshots lack the magic of makeup and lighting; they aren’t going to convey what the actor might look like on the set.
3) Do not expect a name you’re familiar with; do not expect the guy in your lexicon banner (who is probably too old, not a good enough actor, or not interested anyway).
4) No human actor is pretty enough to really pull off a vampire. What we are hoping for here is that magical element of screen charisma that makes all the difference in the world. Example: Pirates of the Carribean. Were you drooling over pretty Orlando? I wasn’t. I was taken with the drunk pirate in the eyeliner. Some actors can own any scene they’re in. Let’s not focus so much on the perfect face (which no one is going to be happy with regardless); let’s hope for an inebriated pirate. I.e. someone who can own a scene like Johnny or Joaquin or Jonathan Rhys, someone who will make us forget he’s not quite pretty enough to be a vampire.

Here’s my wish: that, after we find out who is going to play Edward, my comments page is not awash with “I can’t believe they picked HIM!”-s and “John Doe is the real Edward and no one else can do it!”-s and “I hate him! I want him to die!”-s. Can we give him a chance to become Edward? Can we let him try to convince us? I’m keeping my mind open. I hope I can keep my comments page open, too

Finally the news came...

The date was Dec. 11, 2007. And this was how we posted the news that day: “Summit Entertainment announced that Robert Pattinson, an actor from the UK, has been cast as Edward Cullen.”

And the world went crazy.

Twilight Lexicon goes on to discuss just WHAT the reaction was, and it was not very positive! People did NOT like Robert Pattinson as their precious Edward. Catherine Hardwicke told me once that she had to convince the studio that she could MAKE Robert Pretty enough for fans (starting with hair extensions that he hated ha ha)


Lexicon wrote a fantastic article reflecting on casting over the movies and fan reactions. It really made me think of how we are acting with Hunger Games. Read more at Twilight Lexicon

More on EW Magazine Cover and Breaking Dawn Eye Colour questions

When the Breaking Dawn EW Cover was revealed there were some questions about Rob & Kristen's eye colour not being the same as Edward & Bella's.

While I speculated it was because of the water reflection or the contacts not working in the water and the colour being changed post-production and that edit hadn't happened yet, it seems there is another possibility.

What doesn't make sense to me is why they would do the hair, wardrobe, pale make-up and everything.... except the contacts....

I mean, if it was an oversight, say so and just fix it for the movie right?

I don't know, and I don't care... they know now and will fix it for the movie ha ha - for now we can look at Rob & Kristen's real eye colour and imagine it is just a photo from their day off, ha ha!

Get Bella's Wedding Dress this Fall

Alfred Angelo has been named the exclusive and official licensed manufacturer of Bella’s bridal gown...

The gown will be a replica of the wedding dress worn by Kristen Stewart in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1. It will be priced in line with Alfred Angelo’s popular bridal collection, and available in sizes 0 to 30W to fit every Twilight bride.

I know a few people getting married this summer and fall that are probably begging their fiance's to reschedule the wedding in order to wear one of these ;) ha ha!

I predict it will be a major seller... I also predict, if I had the money I would buy one to just wear around.... I can see someone wearing it at the costume contest at Creation's Twilight Convention also.... oh the opportunities to wear this dress are endless and not just for your wedding ;) ha ha

WOMAN ON THE VERGE

TWILIGHT’S KRISTEN STEWART ON GROWING UP, GETTING MARRIED, AND GIVING BIRTH—AS MILLIONS LOOK ON.

By Lynn Hirschberg
Photographs by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
Styled by Edward Enninful
September 2011

Lynn Hirschberg: Everyone knows you as Bella Swan, the heroine of the Twilight series, whose penultimate installment, Breaking Dawn Part 1, premieres on November 18. What audiences may not know is that you’ve been acting since you were a child. How did you get your start?

Kristen Stewart: It’s weird, because I would be the last person in my school to be in plays, but I was forced to sing a song in a school thing. I sang a dreidl song, which is funny for me. I’ve never celebrated Hanukkah—it wasn’t in my upbringing, but it was one of those deals where everybody has to pick a song or participate somehow in the chorus. It wasn’t the normal dreidl song; I can’t really remember the words, but it was a more serious dreidl song. The dreidl was huge, it was really honored. And that’s how I met my agent, who was in the audience. I was eight. I was nine when I did my first movie, The Safety of Objects.

Did you do any commercials, or did you go straight into films?

I did two commercials, one for Porsche, but I was definitely not the type of child one would cast in a commercial or any TV that you’d typically go out for as a young kid. I wasn’t the type of kid who would be in stuff that kids watch. I wasn’t cutesy.

In 1999 David Fincher cast you as Jodie Foster’s daughter in Panic Room. He likes to do dozens of takes for each scene. Was that difficult, as a child?
I didn’t realize that 80 takes wasn’t normal. But it’s funny: Some of my proudest moments from film sets are in Panic Room. My character had seizures. Just being able to say, I was 10 years old and I broke all the blood vessels in my eye on that take, is cool. It was fun.

You had a tomboy quality, which was unusual.
I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger. I was, like, No, I’m a girl. Actually, I’m still embarrassed to say that.

But it sets you apart from other young actresses. And it made you more interesting.
I don’t really know what to say. I just knew I wanted to work. And I did. I was working when I read the script for Twilight. I read the script before I read the book. I actually did the audition before reading the book, which was kind of crazy. Obviously, I tore all four books apart over the course of three years, but initially I had no idea that Twilight was such a big deal.

Did you have a particular interest in vampires? All young girls like vampires.
I f****** love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves.

In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward, her beloved vampire, get married. What was the wedding like?
Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it’s done. BFD dress. Huge deal.

How was the actual wedding?
It was major. The last Twilight book is filled with BFDs, things that people have been waiting for for so long. For me, it was ridiculously dramatic: I get married, give birth, the baby has an incredibly accelerated growth rate we’re all very concerned about, and I say goodbye to my dad for the last time ever. It was all big—I could never go, Whew, I’m losing this character.

Did you finally say goodbye to Bella in some meaningful way? You’ve been living with her for a long time.
I’d been anticipating that end-of-Bella moment. I was going, Oh, my God—I wonder how I’m going to feel. And the last scene of the shoot was at the wedding. Every single character was there on set. At the end of that day, I was kind of whacked. And so I never really had that moment then. Instead, it happened later. We needed to film one more sort of honeymoon scene and we went to the Virgin Islands. After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I’ve ever felt in my life.

Twilight was your college, and you graduated, in a way: You became Bella Swan at 17, and now you’re 21.
Yeah—and that time has been sort of nuts for me. In film, I have chronicled every stage of my life since I was nine. And it’s more intense now, obviously, because I’m not in control of it anymore.

You’re not in charge of your life?

No. Not really. Not if I want to think solely about what I really like to do. It’s a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do—you’re proud of it—and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable. In certain situations, people say to me, “C’mon, what’s wrong with you?” I apologize. I love what I’m doing, but I’m a little uncomfortable.

Do you like watching yourself?
It’s not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I’ve never quite believed actors when they say they don’t watch themselves. I hear them going around the block to make excuses for why they don’t watch their work. It’s b*******. Sorry, guys—I know you watch your stuff.

It must be interesting to watch your younger self in movies. Very few people have such an extensive visual record of themselves at so many ages.
I get embarrassed. It’s weird, too: I’m 10 years old in Panic Room, and that’s a version of myself that’s pretty far away, but it doesn’t feel that far away to me. Occasionally my dad will flip the TV on, and it’s cool to look at some movie that I’m in for one second. And then, “Dude, off. Now. Like, cut it out.”

First Photo: Lily Collins in Snow White

We already know there are two Snow White movies coming up - the Lily Collings version and the Kristen Stewart version.

Hitfix writes:

Relativity has made the first move in the promo department however, with this brand new still of Snow White herself, Lily Collins.

Collins stars alongside Julia Roberts and Armie Hammer ("The Social Network") in the as-of-now untitled Snow White film from Relativity Media, directed by Tarsem Singh ("The Cell," the upcoming "Immortals").

The other movie, "Snow White and the Huntsman" promises a grittier take on the tale and stars Kristen Stewart ("The Twilight Saga"), Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron ("Monster").

This Snow White opens nationwide March 16, 2012, with "Huntsman" following in June 2012.



I worry that because 'Huntsman' opens second people won't see TWO Snow White's within a few months, but Kristen has a HUGE Twilight following and it looks to be a rougher movie that may attract a different crowd - time will tell.
