Kristen Stewart takes ‘control’ in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2"


Kristen Stewart will possess incredible powers as a vampire in the last Twilight film, "Breaking Dawn Part 2."

Bella Swan (played by Stewart), is now a vampire. She was converted by her husband Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattinson) after they got married in Breaking Dawn Part 1.

A studio release Monday morning revealed Bella’s character will experience some startling changes, including her strength. Bella has now been described as ‘in control’ of Edward. He, along with a new dynamic, will be formed in their relationship during the epic finale of The Twilight Saga film adaptations, based on Stephanie Meyer's best-selling novels.

The arrival of their daughter sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the terrifying council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle.

According to Co-Director Jack Morissey, there will be a definite shift in the dynamic between the two in the hotly anticipated movie.

"No, Bella is a vampire now. She is the one in control," Morissey said.

Throughout the series, Kristen Stewart portrayed the role of the helpless Bella who always endangers her own life. However, this shift in her character will be welcomed by fans and will provide an exciting and epic finale to the series.

For those fans who have waited to see Bella take a more assertive role in her relationship and fight to protect her husband, her daughter Renesmee, and the rest of her friends and family, “Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2” might at last be the film to see this human-turned-vampire in action.

“Breaking Dawn Part 2” sinks its teeth into theaters in the U.S. with an expected release date of November 16, 2012.

Robert Pattinson wants James Bond role


Robert Pattinson wants to take on the role of James Bond, but not before he has added 20 more years of experience in his acting career. The 26-year-old star is keen to play the iconic spy and thinks he'll be able to do justice to the role in two more decades. "Yeah, I'd definitely like to go for Bond, but in more like 20 years. There'd be nothing worse than, like, Let's get a fresh-faced Bond! That would be the worst idea in the world. It would be ridiculous to reinvent it as some young posh kid," Contactmusic quoted him as telling the Sun newspaper.

"After Daniel Craig you have to have some baggage. I'd have to be tortured in the first few scenes. I'd have to do the first film with one arm or something," he added.

Selena Gomez Pays For Justin Bieber's Dinner!



Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez try hard to enjoy the normal things in life, from cinema dates (hiring out the Staples Centre) to car rides (in custom-made supercars) and also just popping out for a bite to eat, as the young couple were seen picking up some food this weekend – which Selena paid for.

The Disney star no doubt has millions in the bank of her own hard-earned cash, so doesn't need her boyfriend to pick up the tab and so made a point of paying at Yamato Restaurant in California at the weekend.

Although they were joined by bodyguards, the couple didn't have any of their minions pay for the meal – instead 19-year-old Selena picked up the tab.

“It was very low-key, and they didn't have to stop for pictures or autographs,” a source told HollywoodLife.

For those of you who want to know what they tucked into, they enjoyed a meal of sushi before actually flying out to Japan earlier this week.

Justin is currently promoting his new album Believe.

Emma Roberts' Vintage-Inspired East Village Stroll



Smiling sweetly in a vintage TDK shirt tucked into the front of her short black shorts, Emma Roberts strolled around New York's East Village on Tuesday (July 10th).

The 21-year-old starlet has a lot to smile about as she was recently named a Neutrogena brand ambassador along with fellow "Scream 4" actress Hayden Panettiere. The young actress recently spoke to People about her role in the 'Wave for Change' charity program, which gives educational opportunities to children in need. 

Though she admits "it's every girl's dream to get to play with makeup for a job," the endeavor hits close to the "Nancy Drew" star's heart as she said, "I have a little sister who's 11 and I couldn't imagine her not being able to have an education."

Along with her acting and philanthropy, the svelte and stylish daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Eric Roberts takes time to trim and tone. She recently tweeted "Back to working out. Finally!"

Kids excited about my film with Emma Watson: Russell Crowe




Gladiator star Russell Crowe says his kids are very excited about the fact that he is making a film with Harry Potter star Emma Watson. The 48-year-old actor's sons Charles, eight, and Tennyson, five, are very impressed that the actress has joined the cast of his forthcoming film Noah because
they are big fans of the "Harry Potter" film series, in which she played Hermione Granger, reported Contactmusic.

"My kids are flipping out that I'm going to work with Hermione," Crowe tweeted.

The actor, who is married to singer-actress Danielle Spencer, has previously treated his children to a Harry Potter studio tour in London, England and says they impressed their guide with their intelligent reasoning.

Referring to the houses which the Hogwarts students are sorted into in the Harry Potter stories, Crowe said, "Harry Potter tour, guide assumed my boys would be gryffendor, no way they say, Ravenclaw, why? They are the smart kids and none of them die."

Noah, which is directed by Darren Aronofsky, will see the actor portray the Biblical ark builder, while Watson will play Ila, the love interest of his older son Shem (Douglas Booth).

The film is scheduled for release in 2014.
