Taylor Launter, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

The “Twilight: New Moon” stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Launter finally landed in Tokyo for the promotion of the film. New Moon will hit the theaters on November 20th. The stars have been recently all over from Vancouver to Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Brazil and finally to Tokyo promoting their film. And all these in less than a week’s time. Well, it almost requires a vampires sleeping habit to carry on with such a routine.

Rob, Stewart and Launter arrived in Japan early Tuesday morning. The photographs of the stars soon were all over the internet. The most handsome vampire on screen arrived at the press conference in a sharp dark suit. The 23 year old actor spoke about their forthcoming release, New Moon, at the event sponsored by Volvo. Rob was later joined by Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, who arrived straight from Brazil.

All the three tried too look less tired but it seems that they only get to sleep once in a “New Moon”. Rob, Stewart and Launter have been really busy with their last minute promotion of Twilight’s first sequel to be released on 20th November.

Pattinson, the heartthrob of millions across the globe, wore a charcoal suit, a deep chocolate shirt, brown striped skinny tie and fit brown shoes. Ahem! Rob is a perfect Englishman, no doubt about that! Kristen Stewart flaunted a short black leather-esque number with a fitted bodice, barely-there straps and a jagged ivory hem. Bella surely looked romantic and sensuous! Taylor Lautner simply stole the hearts of all those present all in black.

Homecoming Queen Dakota Fanning posing with the Homecoming King

At the age of 15, Dakota Fanning is a normal kid. This Charlotte’s Web actress works in movies and when her shooting is over, she’s goes back home to Los Angeles and lives an absolutely ordinary life. While actors at and around her age study at home with tutors coming to them, Fanning prefers going to school. And that is not all. She is also part of the cheer-leading team.

She studies in the Campbell Hall Episcopal High School which is situated in North Hollywood. This high school student is pretty popular in the school too, naturally. So, it might not be surprising for all, that she was named the “Homecoming Queen” this year on friday, the 30th Oct ‘09.

The Viking cheer leader seemed to have a great time performing the cheerleading routine, sources say. When she won the Homecoming award she was elated. It’s really amazing to see someone as famous as she is is having a normal and great teenage life like this.

Dakota is not only in the Pom-Pom brigade, she is active in many other extracurricular activities like horse riding and playing the piano. She started her career in acting from the age of 5 with a Tide commercial. 10 years of a successful career which includes working with some of the greats in the film industry like Mike Myers and Julia Roberts and also leading a normal life, this is extraordinary and also, many might agree, the most coveted life any celeb would love to have. What do you say?

Christian Bale

It was recently revealed by the director of “American Psycho” in an interview that the inspiration for Christian Bale’s portrayal of the lead character is Tom Cruise. Bale played the role of Patrick Bateman, who is the protagonist of the film.

In a recent interview with the Black Book magazine, Mary Harron, who co-starred Bale in the movie, was quoted as saying how “Martian-like” Bateman was, “how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave”.

Harron also added, “And then one day [Bale] called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy”.

Bale was quoted as saying in a 2000 interview with Barnes&Noble.com, that he had complete faith on Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho, to have included agonizingly detailed violence in his book. This, the actor believed, was required to highlight the fact that Bateman’s “obsession with details” was the source of his insanity.

“That’s what I see about Bateman – his fixation on minutiae, and absolutely needing to get an answer for every little tiny thing, even though all the things he’s interested in are completely shallow,” Bale said.

Halloween Movie Picks

The countdown for Halloween has begun and its time to give a serious look at your wardrobe. How about being a little creative and saving some money at the same time. Instead of removing your old clothes from your cabinet, you can plan to reuse them this year. Lets think of some movie inspired costumes from 2009 films.

Here are our movie picks for Halloween:

Where the Wild Things Are

Who ever you want to look like : Carol, KW, Alexander, Douglas, Ira, or Judith, you would simply look rocking. The costumes will not only look great but will also keep you warm on the chilly night.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

This would be difficult for you but indefinitely interesting. You have the variety of option to chose from good guys Optimus Prime or Bumblebee and the bad guys like Megatron or the Fallen. Instead of using metals, you can use plastic and cardboards with metals paints on it to make the costumes.

Inglourious Basterds

Pick up any Basterd and go get dressed like him. Try out the the neck scar and sport an awesome Italian accent to make your look more realistic. You might even try out a Nazi look.

Drag Me to Hell

Your outfit will look strikingly different from those of others with a stringy wig, torn clothes and some creepy teeth and contacts and you’ll send people running to the hills!

Watchmen

Any costume from the film would be an obvious challenge, but the most difficult one surely would be Dr. Manhattan. You have to find a blue body paint since hypothermia should cover the blue-skin end of the costume. Just remember to cover your junk, or you’ll get arrested.

Meghan McCain

A big stir was created in Twitter after the 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain, posted a revealing photo of hers in the microblogging site. McCain posed in a provocative manner in a black tank top that shows off her ample skin holding a book about pop-art icon Andy Warhol in hand.

The photo was titled as “My ’spontaneous’ night in”, received more than 120,000 views. The controversy began after Meghan uploaded the photo on Wednesday afternoon. With so many clicks and sharp comments she was forced to remove the image from her Twitpic account.

The Daily Beast writer didn’t know it then that her relaxing evening might just churn out some raving controversies. Meghan uploaded a photo of herself, dressed in a low-cut tank-top with oozing bosoms reading a biography of Andy Warhol, at around 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Within an hour she started facing sharp comments from Tweeples.

“So I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing, but apparently anything other than a pantsuit, I am a slut”, she Tweeted as a damage control.

Followed by this she wrote, “[Why] I have been considering deleting my twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment”.

But finally Meghan chose to be apologetic and twitted, “I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic. I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended”. She also explained, “[When] I am alone in my apartment, I wear tank tops and sweatpants, I had no idea this makes me a ‘slut’, I can’t even tell you how hurt I am”.

Heath Ledger in his final film - 'Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus'

Heath Ledger’s final film, ‘Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’, has been trailered and it has already started ruling the box office. Speculations are growing on whether it would be the late actor’s best film beating the box office records of “Dark Knight”, for which the actor won a posthumous Oscar.

After receiving huge applauds for playing the role of Joker in Dark Knight, it is expected that the final film of Ledger will do well in box office and will be loved by all his fans. Ledger fans have liked the trailer of his last film and have considered it to be amazing. The trailer of “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” puts light on the past life of Dr. Parnassus. Ledger plays the role of a mysterious man whose job is to save the doc from a deal with the devil. The film also stars Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell as alternate versions of Ledger within the doctor’s Imaginarium.

Directed by Terry Gilliam, the audience can expect to catch a lot of Heath Ledger in the film. Before the filming of Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was over Ledger had an unexpected death. This uncanny incident brought in four other Hollywood stars to fill in his place. Gilliam promises to take his audience through various emotional spectrum like he did earlier through his films like Year and Loathing in Las Vegas and 12 Monkeys. It would be a journey from gloom to glee and darkness to light.

The Oscar winning actor had an accidental death due to overdose of prescribed drugs in 2008.

Miley Cyrus

Rumors of Miley Cyrus making a cameo appearance in the “Sex And The City: The Movie” sequel have been spreading for quite some time now. Reported by Gossipcop.com, the Hannah Montana star do have some roles to play in the upcoming project.

Fans have already started treating this as one of Miley’s attempts to break out of her Disney image. But the makers of the films have confirmed that the singing sensation will be seen only in one or two scenes of the film and this might not affect her Hannah Montana image much.

Until now Cyrus has not yet been given any lines in the script. She along with Kim Cattrall will be seen walking down the red carpet as reported by  Gossipcop.com. Cyrus has been confirmed about her shooting date for the film, which is on October 16th. If everything goes right the film will hit the screen on May 2010.

New "New Moon" Posters

New “New Moon” posters are available on the net and fans from all over the world are downloading them at large. “New Moon” is all set to hit the screen on November 20th. Months before its release the production house of the film have released  some larger-than-life stills from their Twilight sequel to give some more of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to you.

The Summit Entertainment released three new outdoor banners featuring Pattinson’s Edward Cullen, Stewart’s Bella Swan, Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black and other starts from the “Twilight” family. The most popular poster shows Edward and Bell embracing each other along with  other vampires like Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene), Rosalie Hale (Nikki Reed), Jasper Hale (Jackson Rathbone), Emmett Cullen (Kellan Lutz), Dr. Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli) and Esme Cullen (Elizabeth Reaser) in the background.

The second poster shows Jane (Dakota Fanning) standing in front. She is looking deadly yet innocent. Fanning is followed by Aro (Michael Sheen), who is the founder of the Volturi, Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower), Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Jane’s brother Alec (Cameron Bright).

The third poster is lethal showcasing the wolf pack of Northwest Native Americans. The whole focus of the poster is on Lautner. Behind him are Sam Uley (Chaske Spencer), Embry Call (Kiowa Gordon), Paul (Alex Meraz) and Jared (Bronson Pelletier).

The posters were initially designed for New York and Los Angeles to be used for outdoor bus shelters and other spots. But it has also been posted on the Web and is widely being downloaded.

Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman went up to quite an extent to stop an unknown person’s phone ringing while he was on the stage. The Australian actor  stopped a Broadway show to ask a theatergoer to put the phone on silent mode. This must have been a lesson for all and we can just say that from now on theatergoers won’t forget to turn their cell phone off.

“You want to get that?”, said Jackman, who was interrupted while performing a tense moment from “A Steady Rain”. With Daniel Craig starring opposite to Jackman the show will open on Tuesday.

As the phone rang and continued ringing Jackman said, “Grab your phone, it doesn’t matter. Come on, just turn it off … we can wait. Just get the phone”. And then the handsome actor added, “Don’t be embarrassed. Just grab it”.

A video of the incident posted on YouTube showed that none of the audience members tried to reach for the phone to avoid getting embarrassed. The phone went ringing, as Jackman pointed sharp words at the audience, and after a while it stopped.

Besides the 40 year old Jackman and 41 year old Craig the play will also star high profile actors like Geoffrey Rush, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sienna Miller, and Jude Law.
