It’s hard to believe that The Twilight Saga is coming to a close , four years and $2.5 billion and just one (!) world-shattering, tabloid-splattered cheating scandal later. Which means that the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it final teaser for the last trailer for the second part of the final series-ending chapter is the last ridiculously sparse preview of a preview for Breaking Dawn – Part 2 we’ll see. Sniff . Watch Robert Pattinson , Kristen Stewart and Co. get ready to rumble and pour one out for all 14 glorious seconds of the final Twilight teaser. Watch the video on YouTube. The full final Twilight trailer will debut during Thursday’s MTV Video Music Awards, where Pattinson is expected to put in time while Stewart promotes her On The Road at a safe distance at the Toronto Film Festival ; check back at Movieline on Friday to view it online. Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will vampire-run its way into theaters on November 16. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
“… The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww! ‘” Sam Riley’s Sal paraphrases the famous Jack Kerouac line, but it works: Watch the jazzy, frenetic first U.S. trailer for Walter Salles’ On The Road and feel your pulse quicken. The adaptation, which also stars Kristen Stewart , Garrett Hedlund, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, Terrence Howard, and more (phew!) debuted at Cannes but premieres at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival ahead of its December release. I’d count this as the most effective of the many trailers to debut so far; something about the pace and the energy and abandon glimpsed in snatches and quick edits ratchets up my excitement. Or maybe it’s the looming long holiday. Here’s to everyone out there burning like Roman candles this Labor Day weekend. Thoughts? On the Road debuts in limited release on December 21. [ Yahoo ]

Robert Pattinson just can’t bear it any longer. The kitchen where they cooked, the pool where they swam, the bedroom where they… you know. There are simply “too many memories” inside the Los Angeles home the actor shared with Kristen Stewart , a source tells Us Weekly , and as a result he’s putting it on the market. The estranged couple moved in to the $6.3 million house (which was once owned by Noah Wyle) about a year ago. It sits on a half acre of land and could now make for the greatest keepsake of all-time for one very wealthy Twilight Saga fan. As for the status or Rob and Kristen? This news doesn’t bode well for their future as a couple. Pattinson has refused to discuss the scandal in public, while Stewart continues to be the victim of public scorn and ridicule . “Rob doesn’t hate her and he’s not mad,” an insider tells the tabloid. “He just doesn’t get why she did it. He loves her and thinks about her constantly.”

There’s been a lot of talk recently about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and their much-publicized breakup. Seriously, A LOT of talk. But on October 2, approximately six weeks before Breaking Dawn Part 2 hits theaters, fans will have a chance to remember this pair as a loving couple: on that date, Entertainment Weekly releases “Twilight: The Complete Journey,” a tell-all that goes behind the scenes of the entire Saga. The book promises to reveal intimate details about what the official description summarizes as “five-year journey.” It will include frank interviews set visit stories, trivia, book and movie guides and dozens of photographs. Of course, for many, memories of the franchise may be tainted now that Pattinson and Stewart are no longer an item. Might that change any time soon? Kristen sure hopes so. She is reportedly near a meltdown . Does it matter to you either way? Even if Robsten remains apart, will you go see Breaking Dawn Part 2?
David Koepp couldn’t envision a Snow White and the Huntsman sequel without Kristen Stewart — which is one reason he says he’s no longer involved in the project. Koepp — who scripted Jurassic Park , the original 2002 Spider-Man movie and co-wrote and directed this weekend’s new bike-messenger thriller Premium Rush — told Movieline that he departed the project because he had worked on a script idea “that I really liked” involving Stewart’s character. “And their situation, I hear, changed a little, so they weren’t interested in pursuing that idea anymore.” Koepp said that was a sign for him to move on. “I felt like there was a good path with her, but then they wanted to explore a different thing that I had no ideas for,” he explained. “If you don’t have any ideas, you should probably put your pen in your backpack and go home.” As a result, he added, “we agreed to part ways and stay friends.” When I asked Koepp if he could see a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman being made sans Stewart, he replied: “Well, I couldn’t. That was why I felt like I couldn’t follow through.” Stewart’s involvement in a Snow White sequel has been hotly debated since reports broke in late July that she cheated on her on- and 0ff-screen Twilight love interest Robert Pattinson with SWATH director Rupert Sanders and apologized for it. On Aug. 15, Deadline reported that, internally, Universal is discussing whether to focus the next movie on the Huntsman character played by Chris Hemsworth , who is fast proving himself to be leading-man material. Universal also bought a crime drama called 90 Church: The True Story of the Narcotics Squad from Hell for Sanders. Nell Alk is an arts and entertainment writer and reporter based in New York City.

Tony Farmer – an 18-year old rising senior at Garfield Heights High School in Ohio who was ranked as one of the top 100 high school basketball recruits in the country – was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday for kidnapping and felonious assault. Upon hearing the news, Farmer collapsed to the floor out of shock and agony. See for yourself here:
Republicans. When will they learn. With some notable exceptions (Ted Nugent, Dave Mustaine, Hank Williams Jr. ), music stars seem far from keen on having their material used at GOP campaign rallies. Today, Dee Snider became the latest to decry such a move. He surely won’t be the last. Said a rep for the Twisted Sister rocker / Celebrity Apprentice star: “It was brought to my attention today that Paul Ryan has been using client Dee Snider’s composition ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ in his political campaign to become the Vice President of The United States of America. Dee does not support Paul Ryan. Accordingly, Dee has released this statement to Benjy Sarlin, campaign reporter for TPM in Washington, DC: ‘I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan’s use of my song ‘Were Not Gonna Take It’ as recorded by my band Twisted Sister. There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X.'” The hilarious footnote to that statement refers to Ryan’s personal training regimen … check out Paul Ryan shirtless , the man’s in good shape. In any case, Paul can cross Twisted Sister off the list. The way this is going, he’s going to cycle through dozens of jukebox heroes by election day. Heck, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello went out of his way to slam Ryan for merely saying he was a fan of the group in an interview. Election 2012: [Photos: WENN.com]
T.J. Jackson is now sharing guardianship of Michael Jackson’s three children along with their grandmother Katherine Jackson. This arrangement was already in effect on a temporary basis, but was just made official by a judge in court today. T.J. will assume many of the day-to-day tasks involved in taking care of the children, including management of household personnel and security. T.J. has received enormous support from the family to take a guardianship role. Katherine Jackson herself has praised T.J., as have the children, who have reportedly considered him a father figure for years. No conflict there. The 34-year-old T.J. is Tito Jackson’s son and thus a cousin to Michael’s kids Prince, Paris and Blanket, despite being more than twice their age. The judge told T.J. in court to be mindful of the giant rift currently tearing apart the family and to make sure the kids aren’t adversely affected. Four of Michael’s siblings attempted to oust his estate’s executors last month, while someone may have orchestrated a kidnapping of Katherine. Tito and Jermaine Jackson later backed off their criticism of the estate, while Janet Jackson stood firm, and Debbie Rowe even weighed in on it. [Photo: WENN.com]
