It’s difficult to get Robert Pattinson to talk about Kristen Stewart in detail, even though the actress finally came out and admitted the two were dating earlier this year. But get Pattinson out of the country, apparently, and all hesitance goes away. Just read what he told Brazilian magazine Capricho in a recent interview. “She’s ambitious,” Rob said of his costar on screen and in real life. “I like that obsessive determination she has to be herself. She’s amazing. She takes the things she says too seriously, kind of like the opposite of me.” And how did Pattinson think Stewart looked in her Breaking Dawn wedding dress? Like “a sexy goddess. She looked amazing.” AWWWW, no wonder these two just got married ! (NOT!)
In ‘Twilight’ Tuesday, Twilighters tell MTV News their favorite moments. By Kara Warner Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment With “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1” still crushing all competition at the box office , it’s clear from the film’s overwhelming fan support that the highly anticipated instant hit will be raking in more dough in the coming weeks and months. In last week’s installment of “Twilight” Tuesday, we asked fans how many times they planned on seeing “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” in theaters, and their revelations were both impressive and astounding: One young woman had seen the film 19 times in the first six days and claimed that she wasn’t finished yet. So, with those multiple viewings in mind — and the dedicated masses who have now seen the film enough times to reenact it from memory — today’s “Twilight” Tuesday is about fans’ favorite scenes. As expected, plenty of folks had trouble selecting just one favorite scene from the action-packed, 117-minute movie. In addition to the three early favorites — the honeymoon scene, birth scene and wedding scene — according to our quick poll, fans seem happiest with the family toasts at Edward and Bella’s wedding and Jacob imprinting on Renesmee. “Love wedding scene and Charlie’s speech, also Jake’s imprinting to Renesmee scene,” Daniela Imrichova said. “I feel the wedding speeches were a well-thought addition 2 the movie – since it wasnt in the books. LUV Emmet’s the best!” gushed Kristen Grumbine . “My favorite scene was Jake imprinting on Renesmee it really touched my heart that Jake finally found true love,” Christine Waters chimed in. “Jacob imprinting its perfect. I’ve seen it four times so far and still cry,” admitted Desiree Kozlowski . “I have already watched it 3 times. #Favoritepart = THE WHOLE MOVIE,” wrote Valentina . “I will keep going till they stop playing it!! And my favorite scene?? The whole movie was amazing! #obsessed,” wrote Robyn Smyly .

‘We’re unified,’ Birdman tells MTV News of clip featuring Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj, Birdman and Lil Wayne on the set of “Y.U. Mad” Photo: MTV News Birdman has every reason to smile, and in his latest video, for “Y.U. Mad,” the #1 Stunna puts his diamond-encrusted grill on full display. Not only is his YMCMB record label the biggest rap label of the year thanks to high-profile releases from Lil Wayne and Drake, but the camaraderie displayed in his new clip, which premiered on MTV2 on Sunday, is very real — both on and off camera. “We like this with each other on an everyday basis. It’s just fortunate that it’s a video and they get to see it in that way,” Birdman told MTV News from his trailer on set of the “Y.U. Mad” video shoot in Miami back in October. “It’s a family atmosphere, and we talk a lot and we work a lot, and when it comes down to the music, we do it together, we’re unified. It’s what Lil Wayne and Birdman and Young Money, Cash Money all about — working as a team.” The proof is in the Gil Green-directed video off Birdman’s upcoming solo LP Bigga Than Life . Nicki Minaj sets things off, in character as “The Female Weezy.” Dressed in a white wifebeater, camouflage pants, skater sneakers and a blond dreadlocked wig, Nicki embodies Lil Wayne’s persona as she prances on the screen rapping her verse. It wouldn’t be a Birdman video if the #1 Stunna didn’t flaunt his wealth. In one scene, Baby rides around M-I-A in a white convertible Mercedes Maybach, in another he sits with YMCMB execs Mack Maine and Cortez Bryant at a long dining table littered with vodka bottles and exuberant amounts of cash. Still, it’s the ear-to-ear grins that make “Y.U. Mad” stand out from previous Birdman videos like “Fire Flame” and “Always Strapped.” Wayne may have had the most fun on set, rocking a high-top, red fur hat, colorful shorts and a backpack containing his skateboard. The song was originally something that Nicki was working on but then gave to Birdman in order to keep it in the family. From the first listen, the Cash Money CEO was in love with what is now his latest single. “I liked it from the start,” he said. “Working with Nicki is just special anyway. It was something she gave me and I felt good about it so we rocked with it.” And apparently they had a blast doing it. Related Artists Birdman Lil Wayne Nicki Minaj
‘Twilight’ flick blew past ‘The Muppets,’ but faces formidable holiday-movie competition in the coming weeks. By Kevin P. Sullivan Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment The box-office battle of Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone, and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” once again emerged as the victor. The penultimate entry in the vampire romance series pulled off an impressive haul of an estimated $62.3 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com . The weekend brought the film’s domestic total to roughly $221 million, and survived formidable competition from “The Muppets,” which earned a respectable $42 million. But what do the upcoming weeks hold for “Breaking Dawn – Part 1”? We consulted some box-office experts to find out. One of the biggest questions right now for “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” is whether it will continue to dominate the box office for a third week in a row. With only “Shame” — a small indie film by comparison — opening next week, the stage is set for another rematch between “Breaking Dawn” and “The Muppets.” Phil Contrino from Boxoffice.com said there is some potential for growth in the case of “The Muppets.” “It’ll be close between [‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1’] and ‘The Muppets,’ because [‘The Muppets’] has much better word of mouth,” he said, but he indicated that it was too soon to say which would come out on top. Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations , on the other hand, sees the weekend going to “The Muppets.” The fight for second place will be between “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” and “Hugo,” he said. ” ‘Breaking Dawn’ is performing almost identically to ‘New Moon’ and will likely dip another 60 to 65 percent next weekend and gross $14 million to 16 million,” Bock said. “That probably won’t keep it at #1, as family films hold exceptionally well during the holiday season. That means ‘The Muppets’ will jump to #1, and depending on how many screens ‘Hugo’ jumps to, it may be in a fight for second place.” Both Bock and Contrino expect “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” to finish its domestic run in the range of $300 million but say that we should expect a steep drop-off once more holiday films like “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” hit theaters. “It’s still going to fall fast,” Contrino said. “By the time ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ and ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ hit, the audience will have almost entirely disappeared.” 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 .

‘I’m just really, really, really hoping I get to kill her,’ the ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ star jokes to MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Charlize Theron in “Snow White and the Huntsman” Photo: Universal Ever since the trailer arrived for Kristen Stewart’s next likely blockbuster, “Snow White and the Huntsman” — a.k.a. her first big post-“Twilight” movie — we’ve been chomping at the bit for more info about the film. Luckily, MTV News had a fun-filled chat recently with Stewart’s “Huntsman” co-star Charlize Theron, during which the South African-born beauty revealed that she and Stewart are about to shoot the film’s climactic battle sequence. “I’m still shooting [‘Huntsman’], I’m going back in two days,” Theron told us as she promoted the comedy “Young Adult.” “I haven’t really worked with [Kristen]. I’ve done some small things with her, but we’re about to shoot our big showdown, and fingers crossed for me. It’s the big battle. I’m just really, really, really hoping I get to kill her,” she said with a smile. “That is how the story ends up, right?” While the Rupert Sanders-directed flick is a new adaptation of the classic fairy tale, somehow we don’t think Theron will get her wish. Maybe her Evil Queen will wound Stewart’s Snow White in some way, but death doesn’t seem too likely. For her part, Stewart has had nothing but praise to heap on the film — so much so that she’s open to the idea of doing more than one movie as the fairest one of all. “Oh, man, to be totally candid and honest with you, when I first signed on to this thing, the idea of doing another franchise was like, ‘Wow, [we’ll] cross that bridge when it comes.’ It was something so far outside my realm of thinking,” Stewart told us recently. “I was so focused on the first one, and I thought, ‘Maybe, maybe,’ but I’ve got stars in my eyes. I’m literally over the moon about what I’m doing right now,” she said of her work on “Huntsman.” “Yes, I would love to [do more ‘Snow White’ films].” Check out everything we’ve got on “Snow White and the Huntsman.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

The top five most-searched celebs at Mr. Skin are usually a pretty predictable lot- a couple of marquee stars ( Angelina Jolie , Jennifer Aniston ), a couple of evergreen favorites ( Jennifer Connelly , Alyssa Milano ), and one non-nude but sexy starlet thrown in for good measure ( Mila Kunis , Kristen Stewart ). That’s not to say these actresses aren’t hot- they’re the very finest in the business- but sometimes we wish a beloved, but lesser known, star would get her day in the sun. Recently the name Natalie Wood has been dominating the headlines after the LA County Sheriff’s Department announced they were re-opening the case of Natalie’s death, 30 years after officially declaring it an accident. We’ve seen an accompanying surge in (sk)interest in the star, who is currently #4 and rising on Mr. Skin’s list of popular celebrities despite only one nude role- the swingin’ flick Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice (1969). We’ve always been fond of this good girl who was wild at heart, and while the circumstances may be tragic, the sight of this brunette sex kitten, who was tragically cut down at the young age of 43, will always be sweet. See more pics of Natalie Wood after the jump!
Can something be considered fan fiction if it’s also an official, canonical studio product? I’m going to argue yes, absolutely, because with The Muppets , Jason Segel has crafted what can only be described as the most extravagant work of fan fiction ever, Mary Sue-ing himself into the Muppet universe as a character who helps reunite the gang in order to save their old theater and the day. Segel, who co-wrote the film with Nicholas Stoller, even leaves his own tentative mark on Jim Henson’s beloved ensemble by inserting a personal addition in the form of alter ego Walter (voiced by Peter Linz), his character’s Muppet brother and the group’s most devoted fan even when the rest of the world seems to have forgotten about them. Fandom can be a precarious thing — someone’s devotion to the source material he or she is adapting to screen can sometimes lead to being too cautious with it, too respectful to do what’s best for the movie instead of only for the hardcore supporters. But the love Segel has for the Muppets is a genuine, perceivable and positive quality that suffuses this good-hearted revitalization of the franchise, and if some wish fulfillment sneaks in there too, it seldom gets in the way of the enjoyment to be had.
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 48 years ago today in Dallas, Texas, prompting what would become the biggest single market in conspiracy theories until 9/11. Many of them came bundled in such staggeringly ambitious work as Oliver Stone’s JFK , Don DeLillo’s Libra , and Josiah “Tink” Thompson’s exhaustive Zapruder film study Six Seconds in Dallas — the latter of which filmmaker and Movieline favorite Errol Morris reconnects with today for an intriguing new short exploring the legend of that fateful day’s “Umbrella Man.”
