‘Breaking Dawn’ Screenwriter Invited Herself To Wedding

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I was [Bella’s mom] Renee’s friend from California,’ Melissa Rosenberg says of scripting backstory for her ‘Part 1’ cameo. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz The wedding scene from “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit The first “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” teaser trailer , released back in June, gave fans a look at the wedding of Bella Swan and Edward Cullens. But equally interesting were the guests of honor featured in the wedding sequence, which introduced new characters like the Denali clan of vampires. But with the movie in theaters on Friday (November 18), one attendee in particular will likely have Twilighters geeking out. “The Twilight Saga” author Stephenie Meyer made her first cameo in the series back in 2008’s “Twilight,” playing a restaurant patron. But the author-turned-executive producer on parts 1 and 2 of “Breaking Dawn” couldn’t resist returning to the big screen so she could attend the wedding ceremony she inspired. In a blink-and-you-miss it moment, Meyer can be spotted sitting in the pews on Bella and Edward’s big day. But she’s not the only behind-the-scenes figure who makes a sneak appearance. “I’m right next to her!” “Breaking Dawn” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg recently told MTV News. Rosenberg understands, however, if fans don’t recognize her on the first viewing, because even she couldn’t find her cameo at first. She admitted to jokingly telling director Bill Condon that “there’s one guest at the wedding who’s not seen enough,” until Condon added a few more frames in the movie. But when Rosenberg still couldn’t spot herself among the guests, Condon took matters into his own hands. “Finally, during one screening, he stopped and said, ‘See! There you are!’ ” she said with a laugh. “It was Stephenie and then [producer] Wyck Godfrey and then myself and then [producer] Bill Bannerman, we were all in the same row at the wedding.” And as Meyer and Rosenberg are behind the “Twilight Saga” screenplays, it only makes sense that they took the time to come up with a backstory for their respective characters at the wedding. “Stephenie was married to Wyck, and I was [Bella’s mom] Renee’s friend from California,” Rosenberg explained. It sounds like there’s a fan-fiction to be written about the time between Meyer’s diner dinner and when she got invited to the Cullen wedding!” Did you spot the screenwriters in “Breaking Dawn – Part”?

T-Pain Fights Off Auto Intruders, On ‘When I Was 17’

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Singer recalls a hazard of living out of your car on latest episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Shakira Atitebi T-Pain Photo: MTV News T-Pain wasn’t always living the lavish lifestyle he has now. The Auto-Tune pioneer opens up about his humble beginnings in this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. “When I was 17, I was living in and out of my ’81 Oldsmobile Cutlass,” T-Pain said on the episode, also featuring Common and “Twilight” star Alex Meraz. “It was pretty beat-up on the outside and the inside, and it had a horrible smell,” T-Pain’s wife, Amber, added. T-Pain’s car put a roof over his head and provided a spot for romantic getaways. “I used to have sex in it a lot,” he offered up bluntly. During one steamy session, T-Pain and his girlfriend at the time were interrupted by intruders trying to break into the car. “It just so happened we were getting dressed,” he recalled. “This guy tries to get into this car.” T-Pain wasn’t worried; his car was filled with tools he could use to fight back. “I got crazy amount of just things in my car,” he said. “There’s some pipes, there’s a wrench. So I’m trying to pull my pants up and chuck this dude at the same time.” The intruder eventually walked away. T-Pain’s girlfriend at the time was frantic and asked him a very ridiculous question. “My girlfriend was screaming. The stupidest question she asked me of that night was, ‘Did you know that guy?’ And I’m like, ‘What? Why would I know this dude?’ ” T-Pain laughed. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring T-Pain, Common and Alex Meraz — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

‘Breaking Dawn’ Dance Made Taylor Lautner ‘Nervous’

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Are we on ‘Dancing With the Stars’?’ the actor recalls thinking at the time. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment Considering all the moments in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Taylor Lautner might feel nervous about, we would pick the imprinting scene to be right at the top. Lautner has said in the past that the imprinting scene was a particularly “tough” challenge for him, but MTV News recently found out that there’s one thing that gives the teen heartthrob even more anxiety: dancing — specifically the complex, emotional dance his character Jacob shares with Kristen Stewart’s Bella at her wedding reception. “I was extremely nervous, especially when they told us there was going to be lifts and stuff,” Lautner told MTV News about hearing the news that he had to learn choreography. “I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Are we on “Dancing With the Stars”? No.’ I thought it was going to be a simple slow dance, which it was in the end, but there were a few little lifts I was nervous about,” he admitted. “But in the end, it turned out well. It’s a very beautiful scene, visually, and everything that’s going on in it.” It turns out Lautner wasn’t the only one worried about dancing. Jackson Rathbone and Ashley Greene had to pull off a particularly challenging maneuver that had some startling consequences. “We had to get a new Ashley Greene,” Rathbone joked when asked about how he and Greene managed to master a full flip. “I broke Ashley. No, she was amazing. She was an amazing trouper letting me do it, because it’s dangerous, it’s scary. We had rehearsed it a bunch, and then on the day, she was in the heels, so we had to rehearse in the heels to make sure everything was kosher. It was good. We hit it.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Occupy Wall Street Takes ‘Action’ Through New York

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Protesters clash with police in Zuccotti Park on two-month anniversary of Occupy movement. By James Montgomery Protesters march in Occupy’s Day of Action in lower Manhattan Photo: AFP NEW YORK — Protesters marched en masse on the New York Stock Exchange, clashed with police officers in Zuccotti Park, and planned ambitious takeovers of the New York City Subway line Thursday (November 17), the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Dubbed the International Day of Action , it began early (around 7:30 a.m.) with a gathering in Zuccotti, the movement’s home until earlier this week, when the NYPD forcibly removed protesters from the park. They then began marching toward the Stock Exchange, holding signs, waving banners and chanting “All Day, All Week, Occupy Wall Street.” The police presence was heavy, with officers in full riot gear, and from the onset, the NYPD made it clear that the Occupiers were forbidden from marching in the street — since they didn’t have a parade permit — and barricades lined the path that led up to Wall Street. As the crowds grew closer to their intended target, they were rebuffed by officers, many clutching their clubs, and forced to separate into smaller groups, who marched up and down Broadway, looking for an unguarded entrance into the financial district, which had reportedly been dubbed “a frozen zone” by the NYPD. Click through to “Voices From Occupy Wall Street” — our interactive photo gallery — and get to know 20 young demonstrators’ motivations, hopes and goals. A mass of roughly 200 protesters headed south, attempting to cross Broadway in front of the Trinity Church, only to be blocked by police in riot gear. As tour buses passed by — with curious onlookers snapping photos for the folks back home — they chanted, “We pay your salary!” and “These are our streets!” until, peacefully, the barricade was lifted, and the march continued. As they walked, they held handmade signs that read “Castrate the Bull” and “Tear Down the Wall,” while the NYPD followed on motorcycles, leading the protesters to chant “The cops are marching with us!” The mood changed once the crowd managed to cross Broadway, moving north toward the heavily barricaded entrance to Wall Street itself. As they passed by the Chase Bank building, they were greeted by several employees (and even more police officers) who catcalled, “Why don’t you do something real ?” The protesters responded with chants of “F— Chase Bank!” and “We are the 99 percent, and so are you,” while a police officer yelled into a bullhorn for them to clear the sidewalk, or be arrested. Three Occupiers, failing to move, were taken away in handcuffs, as the crowd cheered and throngs of media jostled to photograph the action. Finding any and all entrances to Wall Street blocked, the protesters turned and headed back to Zuccotti Park, which had been fortified by police barricades and a heavy presence of officers. As the overcast skies finally opened up, many attempted to seek shelter beneath the park’s trees, only to be turned away by the NYPD. One officer shoved a man, and as protesters attempted to remove the barricades, there were several other scuffles, which led to one protester being led out of the park with a badly bloodied head and reports of an officer being cut on the hand by an Occupier wielding a piece of broken glass. At 3 p.m., with a steady rain falling, protesters began marching up Broadway once again, this time en route to Union Square, to join a student strike. At 5 p.m., they’ll board the subway — which already is heavily fortified by police officers — down to the Brooklyn Bridge, where they’ll march across carrying candles, a protest dubbed “the festival of lights.” Related Videos Inside Occupy Wall Street Related Photos Occupy’s ‘Day Of Action’ Swarms Wall Street

‘Harry Potter’ Stars Miss ‘Family’ Atmosphere

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I miss hanging out with the guys,’ actor Oliver Phelps tells MTV News at Wizarding World of Harry Potter event. By Josh Wigler Rupert Grint Photo: MTV News ORLANDO, Florida — ” Harry Potter ” fans, you’re not the only ones who adore Daniel Radcliffe , Emma Watson and the rest of the Hogwarts gang. The film series’ co-stars share your feelings. When MTV News visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s celebration of the ” Deathly Hallows Part 2 ” DVD and Blu-ray release, we asked your favorite actors what they miss most about working on the eight-film fantasy epic. The answers we received were unanimous: the “Potter” cast miss one another. “I miss hanging out with the guys,” lamented Oliver Phelps, one-half of the hilarious Weasley twins. “A Harry Potter film isn’t like a normal movie. It’s stretched out for nine months, it’s big-budget … but we’d all just have fun, though. It’s not like there’s all this stress to do anything. I miss hanging out with everyone all the time. But we still keep in contact and I know we’ll continue to do that.” “It was a really nice atmosphere,” agreed Jesse Cave, who played Ron Weasley’s obsessive stalker Lavender Brown. “And I’ve worked in some horrible atmospheres. This was like being on a holiday. It was nice to be treated nice!” For actors Devon Murray and Alfie Enoch, who starred in all eight “Potter” movies as Gryffindor supporting players Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, respectively, leaving the franchise behind was like saying goodbye to family. “It was a real family, to use a clich

This is my second Bieber experience. If you want to read my…

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This is my second Bieber experience. If you want to read my first one (when I met him) here’s the link . On October 26th, I came home from school to see I had an e-mail from Justin’s website saying he was filming an ITV special TV show on November 13th in London and they were giving away tickets on ITV’s website. I quickly clicked the link and submitted my details. During the first week of November,  bieberfever.com  was giving away tickets to the EMA’s in Belfast and I was so disappointed because I had no way to get up there. I had honestly forgotten that I had applied for tickets for Justin’s ITV show and  the next morning I got an e-mail from ITV  asking for my parent’s contact number. At first, I was thinking what is this about? And then I suddenly realized it was about the show. I was so excited and e-mailed them back straight away. I kept refreshing my e-mails and I heard nothing more from them. I was so nervous, I had to distract myself by going to the cinema, but I couldn’t get my mind off it and I had to text my mom during the movie to check if they e-mailed me back! But they hadn’t. When I got home, I couldn’t even eat my dinner! I eventually just went to bed but I set my alarm early for the next day (Friday 4th) to check my e-mails! 20 minutes after I woke up, the house phone rang. I heard my mom talking and then I knew it was someone from ITV. I ran in and started jumping up and down, screaming! The lady gave my mom all the details and I just couldn’t contain my excitement! I ran around the house & I rang my friend to tell her that I was going to bring her but she didn’t answer as she was asleep. I was so eager to tell her. She rang me back and asked me what’s the matter? I told her everything and she couldn’t believe it! We were SO excited! We had just over a week to sort out flights and accommodation. We booked our flights to London to go on the Saturday and return on the Monday and we were lucky because on Saturday our flight was delayed by 8 hours! And if that flight was on Sunday, we wouldn’t have been able to go. We were planning to go shopping on Saturday but since our flight was delayed, the shops were closed when we got there. It was finally Sunday, the day of the show! We had to queue outside for ages and I was freezing! They eventually let us in and we found out we were standing which meant we were really close to the stage. But it was also kind of bad because we had been walking all day and our legs were so sore but it was so worth it! A man came out on stage and we did some practice runs of clapping, laughing, screaming and ‘Awwing’! Reggie Yates, the guy who hosted it, then came out.  Finally Justin’s crew came out on stage and then it was time for the one, the only JUSTIN BIEBER!!  He performed most of the songs from ‘Under The Mistletoe’ including a special performance of ‘Drummer Boy’. He did a few acoustic songs/covers with Dan Kanter which they performed almost right in front of me and at the end of them,  Dan threw his guitar pic into the crowd and I CAUGHT IT! :O  I could not believe it. I was legit so fricken excited!! During breaks from filming, Justin was messing around with the lights, shining them at the audience and playing on the DJ set! He really is just a down to earth, normal kid. The last song he performed was ‘Baby’ and at the end of it, loads of red & white streamers came down. It was really, really amazing. I cannot wait to see it on TV. It airs on December 10th on ITV, but don’t worry if you don’t have that channel, I’m sure it will be up on Youtube. It was one of the best days of my life. -Ali (@IrishBieberCrew)  Justin also tweeted a picture from the ITV show saying “MY FANS ARE MY LIFE” and I cannot believe I am in it! (Sarah’s the girl I brought with me!) More: This is my second Bieber experience. If you want to read my…

I first heard of Justin in 2009 and it was my dream to meet…

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I first heard of Justin in 2009 and it was my dream to meet him or see him in concert from the second I became a fan. But I thought it would never happen. However, in June 2010, I saw him in concert at the Summertime Ball in London: when he was only 16. He was absolutely phenomenal and that was the day that I became a hardcore belieber as such. Then in November he FINALLY announced a UK tour! I got tickets to his show on 14th March, at the O2 in London! I was so excited. Then he came to London for the first time in six months a few days later. It was known all over the UK that on the 28th he would be performing on X Factor, so me and my 3 friends went down to the studio to try and meet him. However we waited for 6 hours, and he ended up using a hidden entrance. A week later he announced a book signing in London! I thought that my chance had finally come. However when I got there, I was shoved right on the edge, and not allowed to stand near or even talk to him. My spirits were crushed that day. After that I had a series of failed attempts to meet him when he came to London for the Brit awards. I also entered a contest on Bieberfever.com to meet him, but I of course lost. BUT in March I went to his concert, twice. The second day was the best day of my life: I met his whole crew as well as Pattie and Jaden, and I saw Justin extremely close up. He also put on the best show I’ve ever seen! That day i thought to myself: even if i never meet him, I’ve had such an amazing experience, that I’m satisifed now.  Two weeks ago ITV, the UK’s largest entertainment channel, announced that they would be filming a TV special with JUSTIN BIEBER, and that 250 lucky people would win tickets, as long as they submitted an essay on why they were “Justin Bieber’s biggest fan”. I spent 3 days working on mine, but because over 10,000 people had entered I thought that I had no chance. When my mum rang me to tell me that I HAD won, I cried for days non stop with shock! Shortly after they arrived, they then let the first 100 of us in early so that he could film Drummer Boy because Tinie Tempah, who he was due to sing it with, had to go up to Scotland. I managed to secure a spot right in the front at the middle, and when Justin appeared he looked flawless, and I was in shock at knowing that my idol was right in front of me! He’s a lot shorter and skinnier in real life! Also he’s very pale, and his eyes are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! When he touched my hand during ‘Drummer Boy’ I was almost in tears with happiness! But after the performance, he started talking about the rules and how we couldnt scream and shout etc, because then he couldnt hear himself singing. As he was strolling round the stage he came and stood right in front of me, so I said to him, “Hey Justin”. Then he moved forward, so that he was literally an inch away from me, pointed at me, looked me in the eyes and said “Hey you, don’t speak while I’m speaking” and then grinned cheekily. I met him in a different way to most people, but that’s why I’m so happy, because my Bieber experience was unique! I still can’t believe it and I’m so so grateful. I waited nearly 2 years but it did happen in the end. So my message to you all is: keep persevering and your time will come! And this is NOT just true for meeting celebrities, but for things in general! (We weren’t meant to bring in cameras but i managed to sneakily take this photo!) See the rest here: I first heard of Justin in 2009 and it was my dream to meet…
