She didn’t. Instead, she had to sit through hours of prosthetics and makeup application to make her eyes look more sunken and her ears larger. It was a bold move by the studio – to commit to making the main character of a hit movie look – well – grotesque for much of the film. But Stewart was game, saying the prosthetics made her feel like she had a “big, skinny head” for many of the scenes.

Until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was released this summer, the last two Twilight movies set records for best midnight performance.  Deathly Hallows earned $43.6 million for its midnight showings, making Breaking Dawn number two in terms of all-time midnight best.

As if you need us to tell you, the film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

Each actor took turns saying a few words – some less awkwardly than others – thanking their fans and their franchise. ”This is such an incredible honor,”  Pattison gushed, “how young we are, it’s kind of ridiculous and amazing at the same time.”

After that, each star signed their names in the wet cement and left and hand- and foot-print behind in a section labeled “The Twilight Saga.” And of course, after the ceremony the trio was on hand to sign autographs for hundreds and hundreds of screaming fans.

Pattinson also said he can no longer enter buildings through the front door, as it gets too crazy and the fans get out of control.  He said there was a time when he thought it was fun to be bombarded with screaming girls, but now he’d just like to get on with his life and his career, which is proving impossible.

I’m too lazy to Google it, but I’m 99% sure there’s a Twilight Zone episode that’s based on exactly the same storyline – guy travels back in time, prevents Kennedy from dying, and then has to live with the consequences of his actions.  It still sounds like an interesting idea, but you would think King wouldn’t bother with a story that had already been written.  Maybe he’ll put a unique spin on it – that seems to be his thing.

As awards shows go, though, this one should be pretty good, as it’s going to be hosted by Queen Latifah, and she’s always pretty entertaining.  The show will air on the 5th of January, so you can put it on your new year’s resolutions list to catch that.

Stewart compared viewing paparazzi photographs of celebrities to “looking at someone being raped” in the interview. “A lot of the time I can’t handle it,” Stewart said. “It’s f–ked. I never expected this to be my life.”

Now Stewart has come out to issue a public apology for her crass comment. “I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously. And I’m really sorry about my choice of words,” Stewart said in a press statement. “‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought. People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”

Yeah, we have to agree with you on that one Kristen. And remember, if fame sucks SO badly, you can always do us a huge favor by taking your Twilight millions and retiring into obscurity on some deserted island anytime you like.

The Hope for Haiti telethon, organized by Hollywood star George Clooney, will air live on nearly all major television networks on Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. central time. Networks airing the concert include ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, HBO and MTV.

Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean will co-host the show from New York, with George Clooney presenting from Los Angeles. CNN’s Anderson Cooper will broadcast live from Haiti during the event. Twilight star Robert Pattinson has signed on to present from London.

Even Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt will be tossing the gauntlet aside to help Haiti. Both have signed on as presenters for the Hope for Haiti concert, though we’re sure they probably won’t get within a mile of each other if at all possible.

Concert organizers are reportedly still trying to snag the rest of the Twilight trio – Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – to boost young viewership. Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie are also reportedly on the wish list to participate in the show, according to E! Online.

Taylor Swift

We always thought the Taylor Squared couple was a grand idea; they certainly do look cute together. Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner did seem to be spending quite a bit of time together. The alleged couple was spotted out and about on what appeared to be dates several times and both playfully referenced each other when they hosted (separately) on Saturday Night Live. But, and it’s a big but, neither Taylor has ever actually fessed up to a romantic relationship between the two.

Regardless, the tabloids and gossip sites have insisted on calling the two Taylors a couple for the past three months or so. Whether or not Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift were actually a couple, the alleged romance now apparently appears to be over. A source reportedly told UsMagazine.com the relationship “wasn’t really developing into anything, and wasn’t going to, so they decided they were better as friends.”

The unidentified (as usual) source said the two Taylors just had “no chemistry.” Well, if that is true, we hope they were able to fake it enough to pass off as a hot and bothered couple in their upcoming flick Valentine’s Day. From the brief clip of them snogging in a trailer from the film, we personally think their “chemistry” looked just fine.
