Donald Trump is usually at home in the middle of controversy, but probably wishes he could extricate himself from this mess; over 470,000 people have signed a petition for Macy’s to fire him. While residents of 20 states petition to secede from the U.S., many more Macy’s customers are urging the retailer to cut ties with the real estate tycoon immediately. Hosted by SignOn (dot) org, the petition says Macy’s should axe Trump because he is sexist, racist, a denier of climate change science and not “socially responsible.” “The list goes on, but the point remains, Macy’s should dump Trump ,” it reads. Although the petition’s intro doesn’t mention it, The New York Times reported that the effort was sparked by Macy’s recently shooting a commercial with Trump. In the ad, Trump doesn’t believe Santa is real and tugs his beard to make sure – a knock at Trump’s obsession with President Barack Obama’s birth certificate . Trump attempted to insert himself into the 2012 election more than a few times, most recently with a lame PR stunt urging Obama to be more transparent. That, and general obnoxiousness, have caused his image to take a bit of a hit. By Tuesday morning, the Macy’s petition had gained upwards of 471,000 signatures, with the great hashtag #DumpTrump gaining popularity on Twitter. Hundreds of people were passing around the link to the petition in hopes of getting the department store to change its mind about its relationship with Trump. Macy’s had reportedly planned on expanding its line of Trump-related products (shirts and ties) and its partnership with his organization in general. How will the company handle this? It’s unclear, but as the Dump Trump campaign continues to go viral, they probably have to respond somehow.
Kristen Stewart walked the red carpet of the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere last night at the Nokia Theatre, actually posing for a photo with Robert Pattinson at one point and creating quite the buzz. But let’s face it: not a lot was revealed about the status of this rumored couple at the event. Not compared to the Zuhair Murad gown Stewart donned, at least. Damn! Take a closer look at both sides of that thing now: What do you think of this fashion choice? Grade it now: A B C D F View Poll »
The big news coming out of last night’s world premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2 ? Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart posed together on the red carpet. But while that probable couple is making all the headlines today, they weren’t the only ones to show up for the event. Far from it, in fact. One of Hollywood’s most buzzed-about nights drew every member of the cast, along with celebrities such as Ashley Tisdale , Molly Simms… and Shar Jackson. From Taylor Lautner signing autographs (above), to an actress showing the world her bra and another donning some pink hair, click through Breaking Dawn 2 premiere pictures below.
The Twilight Saga is finally coming to an end this week as Breaking Dawn Part II sparkles into theaters, which means tonight is the last Hollywood Twilight premiere humankind will see. This saddens me, because Twilight premieres have become one of the great constants of modern culture, at least for the past four years: Hordes of screaming fans will gather, many of them having slept on the ground in Los Angeles for days. I repeat: On the ground. In Los Angeles. That’s real dedication. The air will be thick with hopes and dreams and friendship and vampire marriage proposals. And whether or not said fans actually make it into the theater alongside the idols their devotion and ticket dollars skyrocketed to fame, they will have the best time ever just being there. How many fandoms can claim that sort of eternal, electric energy? Movieline will be Tweeting from the Breaking Dawn premiere and after party tonight — follow along at @Movieline — but those who can’t be on hand at the concrete mecca known as L.A. Live can watch a live-stream of the red carpet festivities below starting at 4:30pm PT. To help bring your premiere live-stream viewing experience to life like Bella jolting awake as a newborn vampire, you can play your own Breaking Dawn premiere drinking game at home.** Take a drink of booze, milk, blood, whatever: – Each time a cast member is asked how they feel about A) Twilight ending, B) what their favorite scene is, or C) what special vampire power they would want in real life. – Each time someone in the crowd asks one of the stars to marry them. – Each time someone Twilight -famous (as in, famous for being in a Twilight movie and pretty much nothing else) is interviewed on the red carpet and you have to Google them to find out who they are. – Each time an actor is asked to name their favorite vampire movie or about the on-set dance-off that happened during filming. – Each time someone accidentally touches on the awkward subject of Jacob falling in love with a baby (drink 2X) or the even more awkward subject of RPattz and KStew’s relationship and The Affair Which Shall Not Be Named (drink 3X). You should be sufficiently drunk within, oh, about 10 minutes. **If you’re of age, of course. Movieline does not encourage underage drinking, falling in love with (most) vampires, unplanned teen pregnancies, or befriending werewolves. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

It finally happened this morning. With Kristen Stewart appearing on The Today Show in promotion of Breaking Dawn Part 2 , co-host Savannah Guthrie started by asking the actress about the evolution of Bella and what it’s like to play her as a vampire. And then she cut right to the romantic chase, becoming the first reporter to straight-up ask the star: Are you back together with Robert Pattinson ? How did Stewart respond? In very coy fashion. Watch the exchange now: Kristen Stewart on The Today Show: About R. Patt…
