Bret Easton Ellis, the author of novels like Less Than Zero, Rules of Attraction and American Psycho, mentioned Rob and Twilight in an interview with NY Mag:
Imperial Bedrooms was, in a way, a side project. But it’s also part of the processing of his past, and of his return to L.A., where his friends are “directors, actors, producers, people I’m involved with in various projects,” he says. Ellis has always been seduced by money and fame, and that hasn’t changed. “Maybe it’s a weird strain of anti-intellectualism,” he says, but if given a choice he’d rather “hang out with Rob Pattinson than Richard Ford.”
And he also mentions that Gus Van Sant was trying to direct Breaking Dawn:
Van Sant, meanwhile, was trying to get the gig to direct Twilight. “You can make a lot of money doing that,” Ellis whispers, so lightly that it doesn’t get picked up by my tape recorder.

Harry Potter and Twilight have two of the most dedicated fan bases we’ve probably ever seen (and they just so happen to have a Robert Pattinson connection).
Both consistently dominate the box office, Twitter and, most recently, the MTV Movie Awards.
But what happens when the two come face to face? Well, we’ll let Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in Potter and who won Best Villain answer that for you.
“It’s no question really,” Tom said cutely and smugly when we asked who would win in a fight between Edward and Draco. “A wand is going to beat…Oh, wait. I dare not answer that. But yeah, let’s go with a wand over fangs for now.”
We’d have to agree; score one for Potter. So how about their cult Twitter followers? We were surprised when we stumbled upon the insane fan base for Mr. Felton on Sunday at the MTV bash.
“That might be equal,” Felton laughed. However, unlike Kristen Stewart’s feelings toward the new wave of social media, Tom’s all for it.
“It’s totally cool. Twitter sprung up out of nowhere,” Tom said, adding how he thought it was a cool way to interact with the fans. “It’s great. There are so many fantastic supporters out there. I can’t thank them enough. They’re awesome.”
Then again, Felton and his GF are hardly as hounded as Rob and Kristen, so can’t say we blame the babe for hating the new form technology.
Wands down for a second, though, Tom had nothing but great things to say about good mate R.Pattz, whom he worked with in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
“I hadn’t seen him for a long time actually, and then I saw him for his Remember Me premiere, and I was amazed that he remembered me,” Felton joked. That was the first time Tom had seen Rob since he became a worldwide phenom.
“Rob’s very sweet and just a very cool guy. He’s actually very unaffected by all this. He’s kind of the beacon of hope for life after Harry Potter. I’m very proud of him.”
Awww, see Potterheads and Twi-hards can coexist in peace! But here’s the real question: Which exclusive, and very hyped, clip from the MTV Movie Awards got you more pumped, Eclipse or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1?

Taylor On Robert Pattinson: “He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He has a completely different sense of humour to me but I can’t stop laughing with him. Whenever we have to do scenes where I’m having to hate him and scream at him, as soon as they call cut I end up laughing at him so it’s hard to be mean to such a nice guy.”

Fellow blogger Late2ThePartee from RAoR has some exclusive juice on ‘The Summer House’, which has never been released on DVD:
Last week, in the haze of my excitement (I mean look at him UNF!) I contact The Summer House site directly via email. Here is the juicy news that Anna MacDonald the Producer of The Summer House shared with me:
Yes, THE SUMMER HOUSE will be screened … at WSFF. Daisy Gili, who directed THE SUMMER HOUSE will be there.
The short will also be available for download via iTunes from July.
OMG, it’s that last line that is BIG NEWS because the latest release date we were given was October 2010. This means we’ll get The Summer House on iTunes THIS SUMMER!
She also managed to confirm that ‘The Summer House’ will be screening at the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival:
The CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival in Toronto tweeted me yesterday and confirmed that The Summer House will be screening there on June 3rd and June 4th at 7pm. The entire line-up of short films will be announced via their website today and tickets will be going on sale as well today. Please visit their website for more details!

A Summit Entertainment spokesperson has confirmed to HitFix that “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” will open nationwide on Nov. 18, 2011. It’s still officially unknown if “Dawn” will be broken up into one or, as rumored, two films. Stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are all expected to return.
Directed by Oscar-winner Bill Condon, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s popular series chronicles Bella’s most advanced initiation into the vampire world to date, but is also seen by many as the most difficult to adapt of all the best-selling novels. Melissa Rosenberg, who adapted the first two novels, would continue in that role for “Dawn.”
The third movie in the series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” will debut in theaters on June 30 nationwide and in IMAX.
