New Moon's Robert Pattinson: Twilight saga is an abstinence metaphor

NEW Moon's Robert Pattinson has said that despite the Twilight saga's lead characters only sharing a kiss in the first three books, the story is still sexy.
Robert Pattinson, 23, plays vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie series - the love interest for human teen Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).

But Edward's traditional beliefs and worries for Bella's safety forbid the pair from having sex before marriage

Robert thinks the simmering tension coupled with other elements in the story are enough to dub it 'sexy'.

He told a British newspaper: "Twilight is a big metaphor for sexual abstinence, and yet it's erotic underneath."

He has previously said that he found it difficult to take his character seriously when researching the role because of the way Cullen is represented.

"But the description of my character is, from the first page on, completely ridiculous. It says, 'He enters a room, and his beauty is almost painful'."

Stephenie Meyer 'Undecided About Making Twilight Saga: Breaking Into Dawn Two Movies'

Stephenie Meyer, author of The Twilight Saga, is said to be undecided about making the final book in franchise into two movies.

Film studio Summit Entertainment is said to be keen to split Breaking Dawn in order to cash in on the popular vampire saga.

But Meyer, who made for than $50million in 2009, is said to be reluctant to endorse the proposal.

"Stephenie is calling the shots and she still can't decide whether or not [making two movies] is the right thing to do creatively,” an insider told E! Online.

"Meyer isn't in it for the fame. She hates doing press, and she doesn't want to be recognized for anything other than her work, so what's her incentive to drag [the book] out?"

Bosses at Summit are apparently trying their best to “politely inspire" Meyer to change her mind.

The source added: "They keep trying to persuade her it's the right thing to do artistically. They're constantly waiting for her input."

In December, reports claimed splitting Breaking Dawn into two movies would cause problems at it would mean re-opening contract negotiations with the cast, many of whom are signed up for just four films.

Miley Cyrus Slams the Twilight Saga

Jealous much, Miley Cyrus?

Interview by a Cleveland radio station prior to a concert on Sunday night, Cyrus was asked about the Twilight Saga.

She could have simply said she's never read the books or seen a movie in the franchise. Instead, the singer chose to thumb her nose at the series:

"I've never seen [Twilight], nor will I. I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires, I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching TV at night, I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts, I don't like any of it."

Jeez, Miles. You don't believe in Twilight?!? We're sorry to report: it exists.

Moreover, that wolf has a name: Taylor Lautner. And, finally, don't worry: no one asking you to have anything to do with it. It was just a question.

Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez are Dating Again

The other night at the People’s Choice Awards, Taylor Swift gave ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner a standing ovation when he won the award for Favorite Break-Out Movie Actor. But don’t read too much into that - There is no reunion between Taylor-Squared since it seems Lautner has moved on.. err, moved back… to ex girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Per iVillage:

“There’s still a definitive spark between [Selena and Taylor L.],” a source tells Star, adding that he’s been quietly rekindling his romance with her even after they ended their courtship at the end of May 2009.

But just how did the two tween-stars find their way back to eachother? Its been rumored a little bit of interference by Gomez and John Mayer might be to blame. Mayer reportedly asked Swift to sing on his single “Half of My Heart” and a so-called friend says Mayer has a crush on her. Swift is said to have rejected Mayer’s advances, but Lautner was still left “devastated.” In swoops Gomez, I would presume, and caused uncertainty in our Taylor-Squared relationship.

However, more realistically, the Taylors simply didn’t have a lot in common, with rumblings of their being no strong feelings on Swift’s side. Apparently, this girls squinting has messed with her vision cause who wouldn’t want Lautner? Whatever the real reason behind the breakup - its Swift’s loss and Gomez’s lucky gain!

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift BREAK UP, Lautner Single and Looking

Taylor Launter and Taylor Swift have broken up after just a few months of dates including yogurt eating and mom chaperoned dinners. A source flapping their jaw to Us Weekly stated that Swift just wasn’t that into him. (Ho has seen his abs…right?)

“It wasn’t really developing into anything, and wasn’t going to, so they decided they were better as friends,” a source close to Swift, 20, tells Us. “There was no chemistry, and it felt contrived.”

Gee…really? I think it was pretty obvious their relationship was PR crafted. In fact, the source also stated that Swift didn’t really put effort into their relationship.

“He liked her more than she liked him,” the source tells Us. “He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn’t travel much to see him.”

Don’t be surprised if these two temporarily reunite around the same time their movie, “Valentine’s Day,” starts the premiere press train. Until then, the “New Moon” star is always on the prowl for a girlfriend. I can already hear the sound of Twihard girls squeeing with glee as they chant “Taylor Lautner is SINGLE!” while rummaging through the laundry for their Team Jacob panties. There will be a sudden surge of kidney’s being sold on the black market in order to raise funds for the purchase a napkin Lautner wiped his mouth on while eating 12 pounds of steak at the Cheesecake Factory.

Robert Pattinson Goes Nuts On Fan With Swine Flu

A teenage Twi-hard kissed Robert Pattinson full on the lips before letting him know she had been getting over swine flu, and the actor was sure to know he was none-to-pleased about it. She apparently just happened to spot him standing on the side of the road when she jumped out of the car and threw herself at him. Pattinson might have been a little more acceptable of the kiss if the fan hadn’t said to him that her mother didn’t want her to get out and meet her idol because she was just getting over the swine flu! The revelation sent Pattinson into a bit of a tizzy! He then shoved the girl away and ran off, while yelling over his shoulder at her.

Per News.com.au:

“You have the Swine Flu?… What the hell are you doing kissing anyone?” Rob then told his bodyguards, “You guys have got to keep these crazies away from me!”

Pattinson next went to a drugstore and bought a bottle of Listerine, according to various reports. Surely the excitement of spotting Pattinson randomly on the street over whelmed her good judgment but you can’t blame him for being peeved! You have to give him credit for not smacking the girl all the way back to her mothers car!

Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson Hook Up Rumor

Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry enjoyed a night out together in Burbank California last night, reportedly getting flirty at times, where they were celebrating a friend’s birthday with a large group of friends at a karaoke bar. According to Radar Online, the two are regular karaoke buddies at Dimples Supper Club in Burbank and looked to be more than just good friends, even leaving together in Katy’s car.

A Dimples’ staffer tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that in 2008, Rob and Katy visited the karaoke dive together. “She brought him here before. Every time she comes he seems to follow.”

Robert and Katy showed up late Wednesday night with friends, and Katy took to the stage to sing a Christmas song that apparently didn’t sound very good due to trouble with the bar’s speakers while Robert was throwing back whiskey and colas. It’s also being said they were talking with their foreheads touching and Katy was giggling and “positively giddy” around Robert.

“She had on black skin tight pants with the sides cut out, Rob was getting an eyeful and he loved it!”

So, wait…Kristen Stewart doesn’t do karaoke? And if Katy is more than just friends with Robert, then why was boyfriend Russell Brand shopping for Cartier diamonds in London before flying to L.A. this week? (Read about that here.) Love how Radar fails to mention that birthday girl/friend Shannon Woodward is also in the car with them as they leave, making Robert sit in the backseat. Or the fact that in the video, Katy & Robert are no where near each other or talk to each other until they’re in the car. Or how about the fact Radar is one of the few places to leave out the fact that Brand was also spotted hanging out with the bunch for a while. Yup - this can pretty much be chalked up to BS.
