Kristen Stewart Says She Shares Fans’ ‘Passion’ For ‘Twilight Saga’

‘I feel like I’m one of them,’ she tells MTV News at ‘Eclipse’ L.A. premiere. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Kristen Stewart has come a long way from the shy, anxious actress fans and reporters first encountered around the time of the first “Twilight” film’s release. When MTV News caught up with the saga’s heroine on the “Eclipse” premiere’s black carpet Thursday night (June 24), Stewart was all smiles and visibly bubbly with positive energy. “I actually am quite excited,” she said about being at the premiere. “I don’t know why I’m not nervous. I think we’ve done a bunch of these events now, and I’ve always said that the energy is always undeniable, but right now, it feels positive and great.” Stewart acknowledged the consistent fan support as one of the “Twilight”-related gifts for which she’s most grateful. “It’s cool for me, because I’ve never had this [amount of fan support] on any of my movies, and I feel like I’m one of them,” she said. “I feel like we share the exact same passion for this thing. It feels weird to be at the head of it, but it’s cool, I’ll roll with it.” Earlier in the night, MTV News chatted with “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer , who was glad that she wasn’t in Stewart’s shoes. “I’m so not used to this,” Meyer admitted when asked about the size and scope of the “Eclipse” premiere. “I only do this kind of thing once a year. The rest of the time, I am totally incognito. It’s nice to be the author, let me tell you. It’s so much easier than being the actor!” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Robert Pattinson Likens End Of ‘Twilight Saga’ To ‘Divorcing Someone’

‘They’ve become so much a part of my life,’ he tells MTV News at the ‘Eclipse’ L.A. premiere. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson attends the “Eclipse” premiere in L.A. Thursday Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images “Twilight” superstar Robert Pattinson has been conducting so many “Eclipse”-centric interviews lately, it’s a wonder he actually remembers anything he says — let alone the countless articles that hang on his every word. However, when MTV News caught up with him on the “Eclipse” premiere’s black carpet Thursday night (June 24) to ask him about an article in which he’d been quoted as saying he’s tired of all the “Twilight” work, Pattinson seemed to remember very clearly he had said nothing of the sort and quickly set the record straight. “That’s bullsh–!” Pattinson joked. “I hate reporters misquoting me, it’s so annoying.” Of course, realizing he’d just used a naughty word during MTV’s live feed from the premiere, he was quick to apologize for the blunder and cover his mouth. Nonetheless, regarding his reportedly being “tired” of playing the world’s most popular vampire, Pattinson denied it wholeheartedly: “Anyone who says they’re tired of this is really crazy.” Thinking about his life without “Twilight” reminds him of what he was doing before, “which was sitting around doing nothing.” (Aside from his role in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” of course.) “I love doing the movies,” Pattinson insisted. “I like all the people. I’ve had a great time on all of them. The cast is great.” When asked to put into words what he’ll feel when the series comes to an end in a couple of years, the teen heartthrob said simply, “It’s just weird. They’ve become so much a part of my life, it’s like divorcing someone. I guess Ill see. Maybe it will be great!” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

How Can We Stop Eminem from Being ‘Funny’ on TV Again?

Eminem’s rapping talent is inarguable. I’ve seen him do it! You have to trust me here. He’s deft, aggressive, even poetic sometimes, but what is it about rapping that makes the 37-year-old artist feel qualified to attempt sketch comedy on television? Eminem usually does such a good job of convincing me that he doesn’t give a f*ck, but his frequent detours into TV comedy send the wrong message: that he’s actually kind of desperate to entertain, even if he feels awkward doing it. Now he’s scheduled to read off one of David Letterman’s Top 10 lists, and its preview proves to be another in a comedy career that has yet to take off. Come with me on a narrated tour of Em’s laughless TV past.

Moment of Truth: Oliver Stone on Gonzo Docmaking and ‘Good Guy’ Hugo Chávez

Welcome back to Moment of Truth, Movieline’s spotlight on the best in nonfiction cinema. Today we hear from director Oliver Stone about his new documentary South of the Border , which opens tomorrow in limited release. For all the political heat Oliver Stone has withstood (and will continue to withstand) over the years, no one can really call the guy a slacker. Take his latest doc South of the Border , which Stone filmed and edited during the course of making two narrative features and a 10-hour documentary he’s still working on. The concept was simple enough, even while the implications were more than a little complex: Introduce the leaders of seven Latin American countries to U.S. and European audiences who, for too long, have received the wrong idea about them from the media. Does it work? That’s up to you.

Was the Last Season of ‘Til Death a Secret Surrealist Masterpiece?

For most of its existence, the Brad Garrett-Joely Fisher sitcom ‘Til Death was more capable of serving as a punchline to someone else’s joke than providing its own. Perpetually low-rated and critically lambasted, yet renewed for four seasons simply so Fox would be able to pair it with other half-hour comedies (or maybe it was out of sheer malice?), most of America stopped watching ‘Til Death before its series finale on Sunday — that is, if they even started watching. Apparently, though, we all missed something kind of insane.
