Here are some new photos of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson arriving separately in Vancouver, where it seems like they’re going to be doing some reshoots for Breaking Dawn Part II. I have to wonder… why all the reshoots? It feels like every Twilight film has had expensive reshoots months after the principal schedule wrapped. Do the directors just have no idea how to put their films together? Are the scripts that awful? Is the acting that bad? Is it a combination of all of the above? Probably. I don’t think the Twilight franchise will go down as a series known for its quality filmmaking, quality acting or quality special effects. Hopefully Kristen and Robert will be out of there quickly and the reshoots won’t be too exhaustive.
Breaking Dawn Part II comes out in November of this year, and all we’ve really seen is that horrible teaser trailer with Kristen’s bored-sounding voiceover about no longer being “ordinary”. Here it is again:
Maybe they wanted to get some reshoots done before they released a full-length trailer? Which doesn’t bode well, does it?
Anyway, as I keep saying, we need to prepare ourselves for a whole lotta Robsten in the coming months. Both Rob and Kristen have films premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, and Kristen especially is going to be all over the place promoting Snow White and On the Road. And then the fall will be spent promoting Breaking Dawn Part II. And then they’re done… with the Twilight franchise. And how long will Kristen and Rob last as a couple after that?
PS… I’m reading 50 Shades of Grey and it is AWFUL. And I see why it’s Twilight fan-fiction too – the female character, Anastasia, BITES HER LIP every other page. It’s ridiculous.

The first part of Breaking Dawn was so bad I have no intention of putting myself through the torture of watching the second half.
I’m betting that as soon as the second half is released, the showmance will be history.
“Fifty Shades of Grey” is god-effing-awful. I scanned through ten pages in the bookstore and dropped it like it was toxic waste.
So agree with you on not putting yourself through the torture of watching the second half!
Part One WAS torture – omfg, was it HORRIBLE.
I watched it when it first came out on video because hey, I’ve come this far, why not go all the way to crazytown, and it was awful. Like, cringe-inducingly bad. I was embarassed for everyone ever associated with the thing.
Then the other day, while feeling crappy and like I’d like to wallow, I thought, “Was it really that bad? Give it another shot.” I was totally by myself and still watched at least 60 percent of the movie through my fingers. I have no words – I actually started crying in embarassment during the telepathic wolf scene.
So really, can the next one be any worse?
And I really have no excuse — I should have expected it, because the book was so gaggingly awful. My God, that climactic “battle scene” — yakity-yack-yack-yack-yack-see-ya-later-have-a-nice-weekend-gone. I slogged through 750 pages of turgid prose to get to that climax. If Stephenie Meyer had been within ten feet of me when I reached that point I might have smacked her upside the head with a rancid mackerel.
I totally agree with you, it was a bad/boring movie. But I knew it would be awful because that book was terrible. I actually thought New Moon was done pretty well. I liked that director the best.
Only positive I can say here…Vancouver – the city and their airport – is awesome.
IDK everyone seems to have a time bomb on them but they seem solid right now. And they own 2 houses together, they seem pretty serious. I’d give them at least another year or two post twilight.
I’m not trying to say that they are not serious (God bless them either way.) But I’m just trying to understand where do you get this information about co-ownership of the houses? According to publicly available info, the house in LA was bought through Rob’s management company; the apartment, which they supposedly shared was leased through the same management company. Where do you all get information about Kristen’s involvement?
Why did you look at publicly held info about his real estate purchases??
Geesus, Mary, and Joseph. Boundaries people. Boundaries can be your friend and your face saver.
Amen Colleen. They are still human beings after all, no need to dig through their trash or personal information.
Amen Tiffany. I’d be the last one to argue with it. There is a difference between referencing info reported in the article published on E! based on public filing and digging through trash. Just saying.
It really would work better for both of these pups if they looked a bit more professional and thankful and every time they were papped and would be gracious about it instead always hiding, looking all negatived out doesn’t go over very well. I know I know what you are thinking-but they are newly sort of fresh stars, enjoy the limelight while you can. There are many who adore you, take it all in, get the most of it while you can. Stop acting like you hate it all…then I have an idea..DONT ACT! Look at me being all judgmental. But seriously.
I never understand this criticism. It’s one thing when they’re on the red carpet but they’re walking through an airport. What should they look like when walking through an airport? They look like regular people to me, I know I don’t have a specific look on my face in the airport where my only focus is getting out as quickly as possible.
The only times I’ve seen them look pissed is when the paps are actively taunting them.
I agree SimKin. I think some people have major hate hard-ons for these two, and they are eager to pick on them for the smallest thing. I am not a Twi-hard by any means (didn’t like books or first two movies), but even I can see the absurd treatment these two get.
And I wanted to point out that Kristen is wearing a t-shirt and jeans…hardly sweats with “juicy” on the azz. And for bonus points, Kristen looks “clean” to me…she doesn’t have stains on her shirt or anything like that.
Just FYI Ann Landers or one of those advice columnists said that when it comes to airline travel, all bets are off and you should just be comfortable.
Exactly how are they suppose to look professional and thankful when they are at an airport? I agree there should be no flipping the bird, etc…but they really are good to their fans…I think people are so hard on them. If she was smiling and working the cameras all the time she would be called a famewhore..its a no win situation.
I’m not sure that “professional” is the goal when traveling so much as “clean and decent”. If they would brush their hair and wear clothes that don’t look like they were in a ball their floor 45 minutes ago they would at least look clean and decent. If I dressed like this for company travel my boss would, rightfully, yell at me. The reality is that they represent their movies and themselves as actors, even when going through the airport.
YOu sound incredibly uptight. As well as someone who doesn’t travel much in terms of appropriate travel apparel. Give me a break, it’s sweats or jeans for the vast majority of us.
@Darlia – I travel for work all the time, on average 20 trips per year. I’m well groomed (combed hair and clean pressed clothes) rather than uptight. From your post it’s fairly obvious that you travel in sweats that say “Juicy” on the ass and plastic flip flops. And I’m sure you’re rockin’ that look.
good for them (my useless commentary of the day)
Kaiser I picked it up Friday night. I’ve only read the first few pages so far because I’m finishing another book…awful as in teh writing or the story or both? I wanted to see what all the hub bub was about..I love erotica so I was intrigued…I hope it doesn’t suck too bad.
Both. There were some okay parts, but the writing is nothing amazing and story itself is typical romance novel plot. Innocent, good girl seduced by troubled and dark man, she makes him want to be a better man, they struggle, overcome their own personal troubles and the forces trying to part them, and live happily ever after… It killed time and filled a book void for me, but it wasn’t ground breaking and even though I enjoyed most of the sex scenes, even those became boring after a while. I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it.
Just my $.02. =)
Thanks. Guess I’ll save it for when I’m out of something to read. I had such high hopes, but I should have known simply because of all my non reader reader friends are in love with it
Another Twilight movie (plus promoting the Cronnenberg movie late in the year) means new Pattinson interviews, which is always a good thing. His interviews are one of my favorite things about him.
True life! He’s just so funny.
He’s funny and down to earth and not stuck on himself. Very nice combo.
is RPatz’s beard for the role?
he looks like Gerard Butler crossed with Justin Timberlake, neither very good to be compared with imho.
Yeah. I’d be disturbed as well if I was compared to Mr. Porta-Potty and Pippy.
Okay, so everyone’s going to hate me now. Kristen Stewart did not totally suck in other movies like Adventureland, Into The WIld and The Runaways. Bella was her worst movie role and that’s because the character was written as a lip-biting, socially inept girl (yeah I was forced to read the books because I wanted to know what the fuss was all about). As for Robsten, don’t care one way or the other.
I sooo hate you, ha ha. The jury’s still out for me on Kristen-some days I like her and some days she just really hacks me off. I’m hoping she’ll do a good job in SWATH and then I’ll no longer have to wonder about her acting skills. But I am counting down the days till this whole Twilight crap is over, good riddance..
I completely agree Rice! I saw Adventureland before the Twilight pics, and i thought she did a good job. I read the Twilight books before seeing the movies, and I could not stand how every other paragraph had Bella shivering, biting her lip, sighing, etc. That is how the character is written.
Kristen might not be the best actress, but I think the reason the Twilight films suck so hard is that when you actually see what was written on paper acted out…it is INCREDIBLY LAME.
50 shades is god awful. It’s so obvious the author was wanking mentally off to edward and bella via ks and rp when she wrote it. He has long piano fingers and she bites her lip a lot.
Who knows how long they’ll last, they are both so young, she can’t be more than 20 right? They seem close though, whether they are together or just bffy.
I just finished reading 50 shades of grey. Totally unsexy and bad!
@colleen: I did not specifically “look” for publicly available info on their housing. It’s just that the article on E!, which first revealed that the house was purchased last September, specified that it was purchased through Rob’s management company. The same clarification was when apartment, which they used to lease went for sale. P.S. I happen to work on an article for some overseas magazine (hence my broken English), so I’m just checking my sources.
Yes, but People magazine (which runs everything by a celebrities publicist, that’s pretty much a known fact that Kaiser and other people have addressed) has reported that those two live together. So they either live together or want the public to think they live together. Plus, they were renting some house that was featured in the Los Angeles Times Real Estate section after their rent ended (real estate porn looking at beautiful homes) and the article specifically stated that it was rented by the both of them. A) The LA Times checks their sources and B) Even if they were just listening to the real estate agent, he would have gotten enough PR saying Rob Pattinson rented this house instead of saying both of them.
Agreed. Anyway, after two months of listening to them and reading about them, I wish I could avoid this Robsten angle at all. Whether it’s real or not, I’m just getting tired of what “They” “Want!” me to know. Too many games.
it’s not too many games if you don’t follow them so closely.
To be fair, you don’t have to follow them closely for the whole thing to become too much.
I don’t follow closely, but they’re everywhere I go online. Like here, for instance, or on my twitter feed.
We can choose to ignore stories on them, but… pop culture, morbid curiosity, human nature and all that.
It’s a series! I saw three different books in the store the other day. I refuse to ingest that tripe of a book. R.E.F.U.S.E!
Breaking Dawn was SO bad, SO SO bad, that there is no way in hell I’m spending money to see Part II in a theater.
The amount of money this series gets to make movies, there is NO excuse for the cr*pfest they put out.
Breaking Dawn was THE worst out of the series. I was BORED 10 minutes into and suffocating my mouth with my hand most of the other times to keep myself from bursting into hysterical laughter.
When we left the theater, I was laughing and laughing, I could not stop. I am DONE with spending my money on this series. Each time I think it could only get better. WRONG. SHAME on this series for having all the resources and money and still make a piece of cr*p like Breaking Dawn.
It’s a big reason why Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner are dismissed as bad actors by a lot of people, IMO. Teaming up to get Summit to fork over $25 million A PIECE (plus a cut of the box office) for BD1 & 2 doesn’t help either. Throw in the scandals attached to their names while Twilight was running no wonder some people think they’re jokes. Sure they’re well off, but they’ll forever have to prove they are bankable, credible actors once the saga is out of the theaters. (Lautner is the first casualty thanks to Abduction.)
Stories were on the internet that Robsten was going to be at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last Saturday (4/28) because they were in D.C. Not one picture of them at the event has surfaced. Did the blogs get it wrong or did someone’s publicist planted a phony story so the client gets some press?
There were paps from Vancouver who claimed to have access to flight info on Rob and Kristen tweeted that both were heading to DC most likely for that White House dinner on Saturday night. Rob was photographed by the paps landing in DC on Friday but never went to the dinner or any parties associated with the White House dinner. Kristen never made it to DC even though one of the paps said he saw her name on some flight sheet. As it turned out Rob was there for an unrelated reason which we will never know about and Kristen stayed in LA. Nobody knows for sure why Rob was in DC this past weekend. I think it was probably a business meeting. Other than the pap pictures at the airport in DC, I don’t think any pictures were taken of Rob out and about in DC. He landed Friday evening and left Sunday morning. He spent only 24 hours there. That’s why I think he was there for a quick business meeting before he left for Canada.
i heard that 50 shades of grey book is porn for the suburban soccer mom type. think i will pass, just like i passed on these schlocky twilight movies…they look sooo lame, unless you are a twelve year old girl.
I hope they last, they seem to be very tight, and yes they live together, stay in the same hotels, and Rob even wen to LO and stayed at her apartment, they have a dog together too, why is it so hard to believe that they are very serious about each other?? wish them the best
Why in the heck does she keep wearing her t-shirts knotted up? That looks so stupid! Surely she can find a baby tee that fits.
I laugh out loud at anyone who is jumping on the 50 shades of of bullship bandwagon!!!!!!! That book is SO DUMB.
I read the actual fanfiction called “Master of the Universe”. It’s terrible. But it’s also hilarious. I really want to believe that E.L. James was like, “How can I just totally bastardize Twilight? Oh, I know- make Edward a BDSM freak!.” It’s fitting and kind of perfect, in a way. That being said…it sucks. Even the sex scenes get old pretty quickly. There are these long email exchanges between the two of them that are obnoxious. I don’t see what the big deal is. And they’re planning on making this into a movie? Ugh. Hollywood just has no more f*cks left to give.
Agreed. 50 Shades is not well written or very interesting. Catch phrases like “Laters, baby”, “Inner Goddess”, and “Holy crap” made me cringe. Main character, Christian, is very unlikable.
However, even the author says she is surprised at the response because she is not a very good writer. Good for her- she is at least honest, and ended up making a mint. Don’t see what others are raving about , though…
i feel a little happy that she has gross knuckles like me.
’50 Shades of Grey’ is awful. Sucks, coz I really wanted to like it, but even the sex is boring after a while. Plus, all the lip biting and stumbling and blushing is really quite annoying.
