Which Twilight Star Made Forbes’ ‘Celebrity 100′ List?

Julie — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:09:16 +0000

Last year Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Stephanie Meyer all made Forbes’ ‘Celebrity 100′ list. Which Twilight star made it this year? Taylor Lautner, for the first time, is making the list and Robert Pattinson did not.

Why did Taylor make the list and Rob didn’t? Forbes explains:

Both Twilight stars earned the same amount of money over the last 12 months, $26.5 million. So how did Lautner beat Pattinson? Fame. Lautner simply garnered more press attention. Because Lautner had the film Abduction in theaters within the last 12 months in addition to Twilight: Breaking Dawn, he was in the press and on TV and the web more than Pattinson.

Congrats to Lautner! The entire 2012 ‘Celebrity 100′ list will be unveiled today at 12 pm Eastern. You can take part in the live unveiling of the list via Spreecast. Find out the info on Forbes here.

Who else do you think will make the list? Any Disney or Nick stars?

Anna Kendrick ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ Los Angeles Premiere

Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:29:15 +0000

Anna Kendrick plays Rosie in the upcoming movie ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’. The young actress attended the Los Angeles movie premiere last night (May 14th), which was held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. The film premiere this Friday, May 18th in theaters.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting Description: Inspired by the perennial New York Times bestseller of the same name and the first book in a series that has sold over 35 million copies worldwide, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING is a hilarious and heartfelt big screen comedy about five couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood.

Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don’t stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy’s husband, Gary, struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who’s expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler.

Photographer Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex isn’t so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a “dudes” support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is.

And rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco’s surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date?

A kaleidoscopic comedy as universal as it is unpredictable, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING finds humor and uplift in all the unexpected trials and triumphs of welcoming a child into the world. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, Ben Falcone and Joe Manganiello.

Jessica Alba Covers Marie Claire’s June 2012 Issue

Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:58:47 +0000

Jessica Alba covers the June 2012 issue of Marie Claire magazine. Inside the pages, Jessica talks about how she was portrayed early in her career and how she’s more sure of herself now that she’s older and is a mom.

On being showcased in Maxim-ready looks early in her career: “I had a show [Fox’s Dark Angel] that premiered when I was 19. And right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected…I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!”

On how she has grown more assured of herself in recent years: “Now that I’m older, I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I’m going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge.”

On her former, sexier self: “I like to get positive attention. But if I have a choice between someone noticing in a negative way what I’m wearing and going, What was she thinking? or someone not noticing what I’m wearing, I would rather not make a statement at all and just have a good conversation instead.”

Kristen wore a black lace Marchesa gown, with a skeleton pattern in white lace in the back. Just take a look at the back of this dress!

Amazing isn’t it?

Kristen showed up at the event in a pair of sneakers, but thankfully she took them off and opted for a pair of heels. Sometimes the sneakers work and sometimes they don’t. This gown deserves a killer pair of heels.

Julie — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:55:59 +0000

Kristen Stewart covers the June issue of ELLE magazine and not only does she look stunning, but she opens up (a little) about the gold ring on her index finger, reportedly from Robert Pattinson. Kristen obviously leads a very secret life and ELLE takes us “Inside the Secret Life of Kristen Stewart”.

Kristen on regretting her sheltered upbringing: “You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f****** happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f*** me over! Do you know what I mean?”

Kristen on the gold ring circling her index finger rumored to be from Robert Pattinson: “Everyone wants to know. Everyone knows already—it’s ridiculous.”

Kristen on her first memory of her mother Jules, a Hollywood script supervisor: “I would stay up and wait for her. I wasn’t even big enough to hug her yet. I would just run in and wrap myself around her leg. I loved going through her bag. There was such a particular smell. That’s a real sensory memory for me. I was always wondering, like, Where were you today? I know that’s why I’ve always been like, Wow! Movies!”

Kristen on what it’s like to see herself on the screen: “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me….’ That was his answer. But at the same time it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.’ ”

Kristen on the intensity of her characters’ roles: “It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.”
