MTV: Melissa Rosenberg Talks Breaking Dawn
Melissa Rosenberg talked to MTV about the challenge of getting all of the new vampires into Breaking Dawn and other issues.
“”I ask people to really weigh in with what are their favorite scenes in the books, what’s important to them,” Rosenberg said. “And there generally seems to be a consensus about one scene or another. It’s really helpful for me and I’ll interact with them sometimes.”
She added that the fan interaction has helped her to squash any out-of-control Internet-generated rumors about her “Dawn” scripts. “At one point, [the fans] were upset because they had gotten the impression that I was choosing not to put the birthing scene in the script, and I was able to go online and say, ‘I don’t know where that idea came from, but of course the birthing scene is going to be in.’ ” Another Net-generated rumor, according to Rosenberg, is that she won’t include the Book of Jacob in the final film. “I don’t know where that idea came from, but that is not true,” she confirmed. “We are going to see Jacob’s perspective equally, so don’t worry.”

Here are a couple of videos from MTV featuring Kristen Stewart.
MTV To Stream Eclipse Red Carpet LIVE
This just in from MTV:
“Hollywood Crush and MTV.com will be providing an “Eclipse” premiere LIVE STREAM from the red carpet at the Nokia Theater on that hotly anticipated Thursday night (June 24 is only nine days away!). With MTV New’s Josh Horowitz — and an accompanying camera crew — on a special platform interviewing all the famous faces as they go by, you’ll be able to watch all the action and fashion as it happens. It doesn’t get much better than this … uh unless of course we figure out a way to make our telecast 3-D. Wishful thinking!”
Tron Legacy and Michael Sheen
Michael Sheen spoke to MTV about his role in the much-anticipated Tron sequel Tron Legacy.
“I’ve only seen what everyone else has seen so far,” he said. “Everything I’ve said so far, in terms of giving away facts about the character and facts about the story, I’ve said everything that I’m allowed to say. So I can’t reveal anything more. They keep you on a very tight leash with stuff like this.” Fair enough. But what he can discuss is his excitement about being part of the movie, which runs pretty high.
“I’m a fan first and foremost,” he said. “That’s a big part of why I wanted to do it, because I was such a fan of the first film. I was like 11 when it came out and it just blew me away. I never thought– if someone could go up to that 11-year-old boy in the cinema, when my uncle Russell took me to see the film, and said ‘You’re going to be in the sequel to this.’ …It would just be incredible.”
Hearing Sheen go on about “Tron” from there is very endearing. He really does revert to that 11-year-old boy when talking about it and what a thrill for him it is to be involved. “I still felt like that a little bit when I walked onto the set on the first day, I still felt like that little 11-year-old boy going ‘Oh my god, I’m gonna get to be in this film!’ And the sets and there was new technology invented for the costumes and for the filming techniques… it was just amazing to be a part of it,” he gushed.
“And on top of all that to work with Jeff Bridges as well, who is one of my favorite actors of all time. So I’m just really excited about it… and to get crazy white hair, which I’ve always wanted.”

Elizabeth Reaser is Looking Forward to the Tent Scene in Eclipse
Elizabeth Reaser recently spoke with MTV about Eclipse.
“The tent scene, I remember that being one of the hottest scenes in the books, so I’m excited to see that”. (Tuesday, May 18) She goes on to say, “I’m Team Edward, so I can’t relate to [Bella] being torn [between Edward and Jacob], but I mean, come on, vampires are cool! Wolves are super hairy and they smell disgusting, like dogs.” Here is the rest of the interview and a video!
Reaser said the tent scene ups the sexual ante in the “Twilight Saga.” “The tent scene is sort of a three-way — I mean, it’s a chaste three-way, but it is, nonetheless, a three-way,” she said. “So I do think that ups the sexiness factor in this movie, but I don’t know. The first movie, I thought, was intensely sexy, because they couldn’t touch, and to watch them fall in love was so sexy. And I love that, in the books, they all have great chemistry. So it’s fun to watch.”
Regardless of how chaste the tent scene is, Reaser understands that Twilighters are anticipating it. “I have no realistic idea of what excites people. I’m always surprised,” she said of what fans are looking forward to. “If I were a fan? I’m starting to sound like a sicko, but I would say the tent scene. I mentioned it like five times now. It’s getting weird. That’s my son! I’m happy we’re not really related, so it’s not that weird.
“I’m excited to see the action, like running through the forest,” she added. “I was running on the back of the truck at 30 miles per hour, so I’m excited to see that.”

MTV Fan Report From Oprah Show Taping
MTV gives us this fan report from two fans that were given the opportunity to attend the Oprah taping that featured Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Dakota Fanning.
A couple weeks back, Oprah announced on her website that she was looking for the “ultimate ‘Twilight’ fans” to be a part of her top-secret May 13 show (airing on that day specifically because it’s RPattz’s birthday!), which would cover the release of the newest film, “Eclipse.” We already found out that the lucky few who were selected got a chance to be a very early look at the entire film, and today got the attend the show’s taping with special guests Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning.
Now, since we’re Hollywood Crush and obviously didn’t want to miss a beat, we knew we would be remiss if we didn’t do our best to track down some of the lucky attendees and get some inside info on the show a week before it airs.
It’s already been announced all over Twitter that Oprah asked Rob and Kristen the Big Question: whether or not they are an item. Niekema Hudson, who Tweeted the majority of the events last night and today, told us in a phone interview that despite Oprah’s yes-or-no question, Rob and Kristen still managed to avoid answering it.
“[Oprah] asked the question directly, like, ‘So, everybody wants to know!’ but they really did avoid the question,” 31-year-old Niekema said. “They both kind of looked like, ‘Uhh, are we supposed to answer this?’ and then Rob joked that Kristen was pregnant, and she joked that, ‘If I’m pregnant, then Rob’s going to have the baby.’”
Niekema had seen that Oprah had been looking for hard core “Twilight” fans on the “Twilight” Facebook page, and sent in an essay detailing the extent of her love of the series. She found out last Monday that she had been selected as an audience member, and brought her cousin, who originally got her into the series, as her plus one.
“I was so excited about being able to go to the show, I completely read over the fact that we would be seeing the movie the night before,” she said with a laugh.
EclipseAttendees were encouraged to wear “Twilight” shirts and dark clothes, and bring along Team Edward and Team Jacob signs. Niekema estimated that about 150 fans attended the screening and taping. She said they ranged in age from 14 to 40, and were mostly all women with the exception of one unhappy husband.
Nicole Salera, 19, sent in an essay that included photos showing how “Twilight” is in her life, and brought her friend along once she found out she had been accepted as an audience member. Seeing all the “Twilight” stars — and the movie — brought her to tears, she said.
“I felt Kristen’s personality shine throughout the interview. She explained how she is shy and just as nervous as we are, which is cool of her to say,” Nicole said in an e-mail interview. “Taylor Lautner, my husband who doesn’t know it yet, looked hotter than ever and I couldn’t stop staring at him. He explained how he likes dorky girls, yes! We will be perfect together. He also loves beef patties.”
Conversation ranged from upcoming projects to the stars not having any friends to hang out with on Saturday nights to Kristen’s cat — though, surprisingly given today’s news, “Breaking Dawn” wasn’t brought up even once — but the crème de la crème for both Nicole and Niekema was the chance to see RPattz in person.
“Robert, oh Robert. His accent is to die for, listen to him say ‘nachos.’ It’s the greatest,” Nicole said.
Niekema was lucky enough to be standing near the aisle where the stars walked out, and said, “That gave us the opportunity to basically reach out and see if they would shake our hands and Rob and Taylor did, so that made the experience even that much more amazing because I am such an Edward Cullen fan.” Does it matter that Rob isn’t actually Edward Cullen, but only the guy who plays him? Absolutely not, she said.
That was as close as any of the fans got to the stars. No autographs were signed — with the exception of one special young girl who came from the Caribbean and wrote about how Kristen Stewart and Bella are her role models (during a break, KStew gave her the ring she always wears, which we think is adorable) — and though fans were supposed to get a chance to ask questions to the stars, but that didn’t end up happening. So Nicole resorted to the only option she had left.
Eclipse”We waited for the cars to leave [after the show] and my face was basically smacked against Rob Pattinson’s car and it was perfect,” she wrote. “Best day of my life!”
Oprah always gives her guests a special gift at the end of each taping, and today’s was especially topical: everyone in the audience got a voucher for the official Bella’s Engagement Ring from Infinite Jewelry Co. Neither Nicole nor Niekema knew which of the three versions they got, but Nicole did say one lucky lady got the $1999 Genuine Engagement Ring, made with 13 diamonds that add up to 1.06 carats.
MTV: What’s Missing From the Eclipse Trailer?
MTV discusses some of the fairly obvious omissions from the final Eclipse trailer.
BREE TANNER
What a tease. First Stephenie Meyer announced she was publishing a new book about the short-lived Bree Tanner, then Summit announced “Eclipse” was having reshoots (it could have been to include more Bree scenes!), but then when the trailer was released there was no Bree! We wouldn’t expect much, since Bree doesn’t have much screen time anyways, but we were at least hoping for a quick flash of Jodelle Ferland’s face.
FLASHBACKS
A decent amount of “Eclipse’s” 629 pages is spent explaining the back story of Jasper, Rosalie and the Quilette tribe through flashbacks. We already know we’ll be seeing Jasper’s story unfold on screen, and can assume the same about Rosalie and the wolf pack. But where is this in the trailer? We can understand it might be hard to fit into a minute-and-a-half long trailer, but hopefully in the future we’ll get to see a featurette or something.
THE TENT SCENE
Well, at least this scene is teased in the trailer, although if you didn’t know what you were looking for, you probably would have missed it. At 1:12, Bella and Jacob can be seen talking on a snowy mountain, and at 1:16 Edward and Bella are shown facing off against Victoria. But we want to see Bella curled up in a sleeping bag with a smug Jacob while Edward looks on in tortured agony. Don’t make us wait for June 30 for this one, Slade!
