Recent pictures have surfaced of Robert Pattinson paddle-boarding without a shirt on March 30th. As most women would agree, we’re always happy to see shirtless pictures of Robert having a good time on the beach. But is this international sex symbol shy about his body?

A source of Rob says he’s insecure about his shirt being off – maybe because he had painted-on abs for scenes in New Moon… or maybe this spur of insecurity has something to do with his Twilight costar, Taylor Lautner’s hot bod.

Either way, we don’t think Rob has anything to be insecure about.

“Happy freakin’ birthday, Kristen Stewart!” – in the words of her costar, Charlize Theron, from Snow White and the Huntsman. Pretty cool to get a personalized video card from one of the biggest stars in the world.

Although her birthday was yesterday, her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, threw her a low-key birthday bash on Saturday with 15 of their closest friends in L.A. According to E! News, “[Robert and Kristen] were having lots of drinks on the top floor of the bar and seemed to be having fun”.  Just as long as she had fun!

Bel Ami is about a young man’s rise to power in Paris through his manipulation of the city’s most influential and wealthy women. The movie will be out in theaters on June 8, 2012 and has a fantastic cast that consists of Robert Pattinson (of course), Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, Colm Meaney, and many more.

So… it turns out that the rumored feud created by the tabloids between Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence was a complete hoax.

When OK Magazine came public with the information regarding the star-studded battle between the two talented female leads of Twilight and the Hunger Games, it didn’t take much time for Jennifer Lawrence to debunk these rumors both in the press and with Kristen herself. Watch the video below to see Jennifer Lawrence’s (Katniss Everdeen) reaction to this clearly fabricated feud.

But while we’re on the subject of battling Twlight and Hunger Games characters…… Which Twilight character do you think would win in a Hunger Games battle?

As the most anticipated movie of 2012, the Hunger Games (the first movie in the Suzanne Collins best-selling trilogy) is breaking records and is on track to make more than Twilight and Harry Potter in the box office. But who knows… with Breaking Dawn Part 2 coming out in November, the preview has racked up almost 8million views on their Youtube channel showing that Twilight hasn’t lost its sparkle. Most people will be sad that after 4 years of following, what people might say is the greatest love triangle of all time, will be coming to an end this year with the last installment of the Twilight series. But at least we have another love triangle that we can continue following with Catching Fire and the Mockingjay!

We finally got a glimpse of Bella Swan as a vampire in the Breaking Dawn Part 2 teaser trailer. Was her transformation to a shielding vampire as radical as expected? The metamorphosis from human to vampire was supposed to transform her into a more beautiful and admirable girl that has bewitched the hearts of many. But do you think her transformation is as drastic as it could have been? Here are a few pictures of Bella Swan as a vampire – her transformation from everyday human to out of the ordinary vampire.

In this great article from Access Bay Area magazine, Christina talks about her Breaking Dawn experience and what inspires her music.  Her song, A Thousand Years, debuting on the Breaking Dawn album, is noted to be one of her favorite songs. Check out the video at the bottom, but first…

Here’s an excerpt from the article :

“I’m actually most excited about the fans,” says Perri, a self-proclaimed member of “Team Edward,” as she shows off her wrist tattoo that reads “bitten” in the title font of the book series. “I think ‘twihards’ are my people and my tribe.”

Perri is the only superfan, however, to garner an advanced screening of Breaking Dawn’s first installment, and to write the first single off the motion picture’s soundtrack: a warmhearted wedding ballad called “A Thousand Years.”

“I just felt this movie was super romantic and this song that I wrote was the vibe of the movie,” she says. “I wrote it about the purest type of relationship and marriage and all this stuff that I don’t know anything about. I had to jump into their relationship in my head. For it to be chosen is magic — It’s been my favorite thing ever.”

And love is the recurring, profound muse that fuels the majority of her songwriting process.

For your enjoyment, here’s the video to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri :

Can movies be hazardous to your health? People are revealing that they passed out and/or had seizures during Bella’s birthing scene. Suprisingly enough, this isn’t the first time an episode like this has happened. One man died while watching Avatar due to overexcitement, and many others have had seizures while watching flicks like Ironman, 127 Hours, and Transformers.
