A few weeks ago, we were treated to a first shot of Kristen Stewart’s Breaking Dawn character, Bella Swan’s engagement ring. Now, we’ve got a closeup of her wearing the ring as she gets close to her co-star and real life boyfriend, Robert Pattinson!

In a recent interview, Rob said that he just got into acting for the girls! That’s a stretch, considering that he’s done nothing but complain about all of the attention he has received since rising to fame.

He said, “I suppose it was a variety of things – the pretty girls? There was a theater around the corner from my house. I guess it was something I always wanted to do, but I thought it was pretty pretentious. I didn’t mind the kids that were acting at school, but I wanted to do it secretly outside the school.”

He added, “I just liked the environment. I worked backstage for about three years and just watched everything and then I did a couple of plays and I got an agent from on the plays, totally randomly.”

I think it all panned out quite nicely for him, don’t you???

Edward Cullen is no more! As of now, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the Breaking Dawn cast are hanging up their sparkles and are saying goodbye to the Twilight franchise. Reportedly, they have completed filming on the last movie!

He said, “It does feel like a breakup. I do love the guy – and I’m going to miss him. I prefer to think of ending this franchise like leaving school. It’s the last day of high school.”

There are bonuses to walking away from Edward, however. He revealed, “I’ll be very glad not to put those contacts in anymore or have to put on the sparkling makeup.”

He went on to relish the memories, saying, “It’s been amazing to play the same character through so many adventures. And it’s so strange because my life has changed so much over these years, but Twilight and Edward Cullen will always be a part of me. It’s been my whole life. My whole 20s. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As far as any secrets, you can count on him not spilling the beans. He added, “I haven’t really seen any of the footage, so I’m not sure how any of it turned out. All I can tell you is, it felt right. It was from the heart. I’m as curious as any Twilight fan.”

And there you have it!

Rumor has it that young actress Mackenzie Foy is being tapped to play the role of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan’s daughter Renesmee in the new Breaking Dawn movie.

EW reports:

It’s not yet clear how the diminutive actress, who’s appeared in one episode each of television shows FlashForward and ‘Til Death, will portray the character who ages a full 17 years in only seven. Sources have suggested that director Bill Condon will employ similar digital effects to those used by David Fincher in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where Foy’s face would be digitally transferred onto the face of a younger child. It’s also probable that the studio will hire a younger child in some capacity, too.

Do you think this would be a good casting decision for the franchise? What are your thoughts???

Robert Pattinson has inspired Marks and Spencer to create an underwear line aimed at fans of Edward Cullen.

The Guardian reports:

Dubbed the R-Pant, the low-rise briefs and trunks are designed to be worn under skinny jeans and trousers, a look popularized by the likes of Russell Brand and Mark Ronson, two celebrities the chain cites as design influences.

Despite widely reported criticism by Jeremy Paxman in 2008 when the Newsnight presenter claimed “their pants no longer provide adequate support”, one in four UK men still wear M&S pants, according to the retailer.

The R-Pant launch is a thinly-veiled marketing strategy designed to appeal to a younger audience and to sex-up its underwear range. “Over the last three years we’ve seen an increase in the popularity of hipsters,” says Richard Beale, head of merchandising. “The new range is designed to appeal to a younger, fashion-savvy customer.”

Olie Arnold, style director of Men’s Health, believes there is a market for lower-rise pants. “I hate seeing the waistbands of men’s pants poking out of the top of their jeans,” he said. He questioned whether M&S was the right target market. “Do M&S really even sell skinny jeans? Maybe lots of women will buy them for their husbands and boyfriends, though.”

Ladies, do you want to see your man sporting the R Pant?
