(I love Polyvore, you should be able to make some amazing things with that program!)
I am realizing before New Moon comes out that the werewolves might be just as hot as the vampires. (Okay only Alex Meraz and Taylor Lautner are the cute ones.) Finally Alex is getting the love he deserves. He did an interview with Vanity Fair where they discussed all things Twilight. Here are the highlights of the interview.
On if he had seen Twilight: No, I hadn’t, but after I got the role, I bought a bootlegged version and watched it while I was on set.
On his favorite scene to shoot: The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.
On if he had a stunt double: No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.
On what they did on their downtime: We showed each other exercises. Taylor would show some of his workout, I would show some of mine. We’d practice martial arts tricks … just goof off! We had a great time. That’s part of what our characters were like anyway. We’re supposed to be frisky, friendly—like brothers. I think everyone on set was affected by it because they were always looking forward to the days when the Wolf Pack would film … everyone was really excited. They knew we were going to bring a different kind of energy.
On his thousands of Twitter followers: I know! It’s only been like a week and a half since I got my Twitter [account]! It’s pretty cool. For the first week, no one believed it was me, so I had to put a picture of me holding my name. It looked like a mug shot! It was pretty ridiculous, but it’s really cool knowing you have really enthusiastic fans that want to hear about what you do on a day-to-day basis.
Penn Badgley is everywhere these days. And now he is the cover boy for the November 2009 issue of Men’s Health. I was disappointed to find out that his movie, The Stepfather didn’t do very good at the theaters last weekend. I guess next time I better make sure that I go to the movie. In the interview with the magazine he talks about his girlfriend, Blake Lively, and his personal style.
On dating co-star, Blake: “Having a relationship with someone you work with might not always be the smartest move. But it’s been wonderful to be in a relationship where we can both identify with what the other is experiencing.”
On his personal style: “There’s a stigma about looking like you’re tying too hard, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try at all. I really think that’s a bigger mistake.”
It’s been awhile since there has been a Jackie Chan movie out. I know that he’s awesome in movies and I can’t wait to see this one, The Spy Next Door. It is set to hit the theaters in January 15th, 2010. The unofficial synopsis goes like this: While babysitting his neighbor’s children, a mild-mannered guy winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the kids inadvertently downloads a secret code.
See the trailer below. This movie stars Jackie Chan, Billy Ray Cyrus and George Lopez. It really looks like a fun movie!
I had a frantic text message sent to me that I needed to see these pictures of Jackson Rathbone and that I would be super excited to see them. And since I spent yesterday talking about Kellan Lutz, I thought why not and talk about Jackson.
They published a couple of behind the scenes pictures from the set of Jackson’s new movie, Girlfriend. Yesterday, details about the movie were released by the director, Justin Lerner, who had this to say about the movie.
We’re in an economic crisis, and [the film is set] in a small town where there’s lots of lying, deceit, jealousy, rage, violence. Evan is pure good. He’s pure innocent love. How fascinating would it be to put pure, innocent, unconditional love […] into this world, and see what happens.
Jackson is an amazing actor. I can’t wait to see him in this movie rumored to be released in 2010.
I usually don’t like to post NSFW pictures but Adam Lambert makes me forget all my rules! He’s the cover boy for the November 2009 issue of Details magazine. I love the photo shoot in the magazine and for pictorial reasons I say that I will include it. Here are some of the highlights to the interview in the magazine:
On kissing women: “I am gay, but I like kissing women sometimes. Women are pretty. It doesn’t mean I’m necessarily sleeping with them.â€
On entertaining:“It’s all fantasy – that’s what entertainment is. I’m here to entertain you, and if my sexuality is apparent and you respond to it, and you’re attracted to it, then great, I’m doing my job.â€
His American Idol past: “There’s a feeling of entitlement [with the fans] because they voted to get us where we are. But you know what? I am responsible for what I created on the show – you voted for what I created, and thank you, but I created it, you didn’t.â€
