Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are on the cover of the current issue of EW, and we've already had one look at their cute shots from inside.

Robert goofed around as an old-school Dracula, while Kristen looked great as usual in her black leather. Back in real life, Robert, Kristen and Taylor were finally able to enjoy an evening off from their nonstop European press tour last night in Madrid.

Kristen Stewart Makes a Comment About Dating Robert Pattinson - Unkind or Understandable?

PopSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson talked to Entertainment Weekly ahead of New Moon's release, in one of their many press appearances. When asked about their rumored romance, Kristen answered in an exasperated way. She said,

"I probably would've answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f-ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?' . . . There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: 'Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.' I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like 'F- off!' I would answer the exact same way."

We can imagine that it could get irritating answering the same question over and over, but one might think she'd be more polite with a movie to promote. So, tell us what you think - are her comments unkind or understandable?

Taylor Replaces Robert in the Spotlight With Kristen

PopSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:56:00 -0700

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly as they continue promoting the much-anticipated New Moon. Kristen talks about her BFF chemistry with Taylor, while Robert Pattinson chats about his feelings on downsizing Edward's role, which already has most of you wanting more. Here's more:

Kristen on Taylor keeping his role as Jacob: "It’s completely understandable why they wanted to make sure he was right. He was so young, 16, so I got it. But I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him. We have that [best friend] relationship. It’s lamely cute."
Taylor on beefing up: "My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit. My trainer would be like, ‘Go have a huge milk shake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.""
Robert on his downsized role: "It was a stress-free job for three months. All the pressure was on Taylor."
Kristen on New Moon: "[Making Twilight] was much more of a fight. We needed to make something commercial but stay true to the book. We didn’t have enough money. It was all very impulsive, and that’s what I love about that movie . . . But I think New Moon is gonna be even better."

Are You Surprised by T.R. Knight's Comments About Grey's?

PopSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 12:00:23 -0700

T.R. Knight landed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, finally opening up about his big decision to leave Grey's Anatomy. He essentially chalks up the move to his disagreements with the show's executive producer, Shonda Rimes, and the fallout from Isaiah Washington's profanity-laced tirade in 2006. He said:

On his frustration: "My five-year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given [about George]."
On coming out publicly after Isaiah's incident: "I think she was concerned about having my statement come out so close to the [initial] event."
On leaving his $14 million contract: "From an outsider's perspective, I get the [impression that] 'He’s just a spoiled actor…he doesn’t know how good he has it. There are a lot of people who would like to be in my position. But in the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work."

It's interesting to finally hear the backstory after years of rumors about the show and its cast, so tell us - are you surprised T.R. Knight is finally making a comment?

Megan Fox Is Definitely Entertaining

PopSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:00:07 -0700

Megan Fox is on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly to chat about her upcoming film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Her costar Shia LaBeouf has earned himself the reputation of an open book because of his tendency to overshare in interviews, but Megan is right up there with him. She sat down with the magazine to chat all about her career, Angelina Jolie, and her are-they-or-aren't-they relationship with Brian Austin Green. Here's more:

On saying she's afraid of Angelina: "I was joking! She always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence. I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the f-ck is this little bulls-it brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?' I don't want to meet her; I'd be embarrassed."
On growing up wanting to be famous: "Well, yeah, because that's how you measure success in Hollywood, really. But you have no idea what this life is like until you are living it. I used to sit back and think, ''Please, Britney Spears has the best life ever - she has everything she could ever want!' But she has one of the worst lives. Her life is a living f-cking nightmare. I have panic attacks thinking about her life."
On working with Lindsay Lohan on Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen in 2004: "That was prenightmare. We didn't get along, but we were, like, 17, so of course we didn't get along. Girls are catty; they don't like each other."

To see what Megan has to say about Brian, being a sex symbol and why girls don't like her just read more.

On her relationship with Brian: "Brian and I are not engaged, because when you're engaged, your goal is marriage. And I don't think that's a realistic goal for me right now. I know I'm not capable at this point in my life of being a good partner or a good wife. That's like a joke. We're sort of trying to figure out what our relationship is."
On being referred to as a sex symbol: "It doesn't bother me. I don't know why someone would complain about that. That just means that the bar has been set pretty low. People don't expect me to do anything that's worth watching. So I can only be an overachiever. I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded."
On why girls don't usually like her: "I think most people are extremely insecure. As far as girls go, I have a really bad-ass personality. I'm smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation. So I'm not afraid to speak, and I think that's what people read as this überconfidence. I have a mouth and I'm not afraid to use it."

Heath's Friends Weigh In on His Life One Year Later

PopSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:30:18 -0800

It's hard to believe almost a year has gone by since Heath Ledger's tragic passing, but next Thursday will be the one-year anniversary of his death. He's already been honored with a few posthumous awards, including a Golden Globe, and with Oscar nominations less than a week away, the buzz around Heath's performance in The Dark Knight is as loud as ever. To continue honoring and celebrating his memory, Entertainment Weekly made Heath its cover story with quotes and highlights about his life from the people that worked closely with the actor and grew to know and love him over the years. Here are a few highlights from the touching article:

Gil Junger, director, 10 Things I Hate About You: "Heath came in to read, and he exuded a sexuality so uncommon for a man of that age. As soon as he left, I stood up and said, 'Ladies, I have never wanted to sleep with a man, but if I had to, that would be the man. Please hire him immediately.'"
Todd Black, producer, A Knight's Tale: "Heath was the pied piper. If you were sad, he took care of you. If you were happy, he made you happier just by dancing or talking or laughing. Fear didn't enter his psyche. He would say whatever was on his mind. If he didn't like you, you would know it, and if he liked you, you would know it."
Wes Bentley, friend and costar, The Four Feathers: "Heath's fun clouded its way through a room. It was infectious. If you were stuck in an elevator with him, you'd be entertained. He liked to go to Vegas dressed snazzy. He'd walk the streets of Vegas and never really have a plan, dressed up in a pink blazer and a tie. He liked to get a boat and travel to the Greek islands. Some people think he'd party too much and take drugs. That wasn't the case. It was young energy. He was high off life."
Terry Gilliam, director, The Brothers Grimm: "All of us who were close to Heath knew what was going on, and it was not the most pleasant experience. . . . He was obsessed with his daughter. She became the center of his thoughts. He would drag her up to my house in London. Here's Heath, Academy Award nominee, and he'd just grab his daughter, stick her in a backpack, hop on the Tube, and come up to the house. Nobody would have thought, There's Heath Ledger. He was just a guy with a kid."

To read a lot more quotes from costars and friends about Heath's life and tragic death, just read more.

Mel Gibson, costar, The Patriot: "We'd hook up from time to time and chat. He did ask me a couple of times for advice, but I just said, 'Hey, follow your own gut, dude. You're doing alright so far. Don't listen to me. I've often been known to be quite wrong about a lot of things.' But he was his own man. He was going to do what he was going to do. He was looking for a way to fulfill himself in his art and in who he was. He didn't have the cart before the horse."
Nicola Pecorini, friend and cinematographer, The Order and Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: "Heath would sometimes ask for help to escape: 'Can you call me at 5:15 so I can pick up the phone and get off this interview?' It was very funny, because he was like a big kid - you know, 'Get me out of Science 101.' He went along for the ride, but at times it was a bit too much for him. He'd call me and say, 'Can I come play with your kid?' My son at the time was 10, and Heath would come and spend hours playing soldiers with him, just to get away from everything."
Catherine Hardwicke, director, The Lords of Dogtown: "During the awards and celebratory parties for Brokeback, he told me, 'I don't want to work. I want to take a year or two off where Michelle and I will move to Holland and ride bikes.' This dream took root in his mind: How can I get away? How can I get time to renew my soul? But the business doesn't want you to take that time. He was so desirable, everyone was offering him the most delicious things in the world on a daily basis."
Gary Oldman, costar, The Dark Knight: "I kind of raised my eyebrow at the casting and thought, Oh, I wonder how that will be. But any concerns that one may have had vanished when you got on the set with him. I did a couple of scenes with Heath in the first leg of the shoot in London. I called a friend and he said, 'How's Heath?' I said, 'He's breathtaking. He's going to be astounding.' I could tell just working for five minutes with him."
Pecorini: "He was so solid into keeping clean, it was quite stunning. I really think he died of a broken heart. I know it can sound very romantic, but it's very tragic. I think that's what killed him."
Steve Alexander, his CAA Agent: "We were making these incredible plans about what was next, career-wise. The day after he died, he was going to meet Steven Spielberg to explore the idea of playing Tom Hayden in a movie about the Chicago 7. This wasn't a guy who was even for a second thinking about checking out in any way, shape, or form. There's a moment in The Dark Knight when Heath's hanging upside down and he says to Batman, 'You and I are destined to do this forever.' It's a very sad moment. A sequel certainly would have happened. I cringe when I read that he was a tortured soul or a Method actor who couldn't get out of his own way because he'd played this dark character. It's just not true."
Oldman: "If Heath does get an Oscar nomination, I can just picture him up there, looking down and going, F---!"

Not Catty Jennifer Cuddles Up With a Pup and Swears a Bit

Molly — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:00:31 -0800

We already got a taste of Jennifer Aniston's EW cover and what she had to say inside, but there's a lot more where that came from. In the article we get an even more candid - and potty-mouthed, ha - Aniston than usual, which is all the more why she seems like the perfect girlfriend. Marley & Me is still a few weeks away, but if the cute factor of this photo shoot is any indication, it's going to be a winner. Love the puppy. Here's more from the interview:

On Marley & Me: "Sometimes you're not always so thrilled about the movie you're pushing . . . But this is a good one.''
On her persona: ''Everyone projects their thoughts on you. Everyone's got an opinion. I wish they didn't. I've gotten to the point where, if I focus on all of that stuff, I won't make a move, you know?. . . There's this character - it's like my Hannah Montana,'' she says. ''That's how I feel. There's my Hannah Montana and then there's me.''
On Team Aniston shirts: ''I can see how that would be flattering,'' she says. ''But that divide-and-conquer thing is stupid. It's just catty. I'm not catty.''
On people criticizing her movie career: ''It was like, who f---ing s--- in her Wheaties? How do these people get the opportunity to just spew s---? They don't know anything. You know, career choices - you just do what you do. Not everyone's a winner. Not every episode of Friends was great. Not every guy you choose is great. Just across the board, there's so much expectation.''

To see more of what Jen had to say about her movie choices and having a movie coming out the same day as Brad just read more.

On people's attention: '[Election night] was just so moving, so unbelievable . . . And now what do people do? Read my crap! Everything comes to a halt: 'What did she say?''' She shakes her head, smiling wryly. ''Good God. You have to laugh at it all at the end of the day.''
On movie choices: ''The girl trying to get the guy - those movies just don't interest me these days. I'd be so bored just doing that. I always think of it as you're walking down the aisle of the supermarket and there's the Fruity Pebbles. I like to do a little Kashi as well, a little granola.''
On her life: ''It's my history,'' she says quietly. ''It's my memory. That's all it is to me: something that happened, something that was really quite poignant and good in the long run.''
On Marley coming out the same day as Button: ''Oh, you had to go there! I thought we were out of the woods.'' She sighs. ''I want [Button] to do great. I've seen about an hour of it. It's amazing. Amazing.''

Considering how night and day the two movies are, it shouldn't be an issue, and if Marley & Me has even half the heart that Jennifer does, then it will be perfect holiday fare. As always, she's honest, upbeat, and apparently loves a good metaphor.

Jennifer Gets Fresh About the Pregnancy Rumors

PopSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the latest Entertainment Weekly, posing with a canine companion in the spirit of Marley & Me. She's been extremely open about her personal life over the past few weeks, and she kept that up by using her interview to respond to all the recent pregnancy rumors. Here's more:

On the rumors: "Oh my God, it's hysterical. It's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'I'm pregnant!' Everyone will be like, ‘Yeah, right.’ It’s the boy who cried wolf. Stop stealing my thunder, motherf---ers!”
On Vogue's spinning her Angelina comments: "I was just surprised that Vogue would go so tabloid . . . I was bummed. But you almost expect it. Big deal. Done. Next."
On getting pregnant: "I'm on the verge of it in some way - or it's something I long for."

Her desire to get pregnant could explain those recent doctor's appointments, but even if she and John Mayer are getting more serious, we'll wait to hear the exciting truth directly from the source.

LC Takes EW Inside the Hills

PopSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 02:02:00 -0700

Lauren Conrad got all glammed up for yet another photo shoot, this time for Entertainment Weekly. The article discusses how The Hills became a major phenomenon, and gives us a sneak peek at what happens behind the scenes of the show. LC remains as real as ever, talking about more seasons and the controversy about whether or not the show is fake. Here are highlights:

On the future of The Hills: "Every season, I think it's the last. Right now, I think this is the last season."
On whether or not the cameras get to her (and the inspiration for the cover): "I go through phases when I've been filming where I wake up in the middle of the night and I think I'm being filmed. That's when I have to take a vacation."
On accusations that the show is scripted: "I get that there are certain scenes where someone's like, 'Sooo, last night was weird....' And then there are people on the show who really don't help, because they are very fake. We know who we're talking about -like, you need to stop rehearsing your breakfast."

At this point, we've given up trying to figure out which parts of the show are real and which parts are planned - we'll keep right on watching until the last season airs for real. Check out more about LC and the gang in this week's EW on newsstands now.

Angelina Is Wanted, Powerful, and Talking Up a Storm

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:02:00 -0700

Angelina Jolie has been low profile since she was all over Cannes last month, but she's still in the media with her birth rumors, upcoming cancelled premieres and not to mention that she and Brad just came in at No. 3 and No. 10 respectively on the Forbes Annual Power List. She's also on the cover of EW to promote Wanted, where she has plenty to say about her career, family, and relationships past and present. She even touches on her controversial gun necklace that Maddox created. Here are highlights:

On her machine gun necklace: "Mad, our 6-year-old, draws lots of war scenarios. He's all into war and guns. So for Mother's Day he drew a machine gun, and Brad had it made into a necklace, which is really sweet. It's really cute. I think it's really good!"
On being pregnant: "It's all just so nice. You just really can't complain about anything as long as you know the babies are looking healthy. The only thing that's hard for me now is with twins and having four kids, there's a lot of the doctor saying 'Stop picking them up as much.' But we've worked out a system where Brad just lifts them to me every time they want to come up. I just don't bend down. I'll scream, 'Honey!' and he'll come running and lift them up. Or they climb on chairs, so it's not as big of a lift. So we're trying to follow doctor's orders, but I'm bending them a tiny bit."
On Brad's new tattoo: "I drew that. We went to Davos. It's not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back. He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like."

To see what else she had to say about Billy Bob Thornton and the many faces of Brad and Angie, just read more.

On if she regrets her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton and wearing a vial of blood: "No! It was never a vial anyway. It was like a flower press. It was like from a slight cut on your finger and you press your fingerprint in. It was kind of a sweet gesture. I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I'm proud to have been his wife for a time. I don't believe in regrets. It's a dangerous habit to get into - it makes you pause in your life if you start thinking back and questioning yourself."
On how she and Brad have two sides: "Well, certain things are private! But there's a side of us that's so mommy-daddy and then there's a side of us that's...very man and woman. I'll leave it at that. We both like to ride motorcycles, we both like to fly planes, that's the spirited side of us. Then the other side of us is very focused on silly mommy-daddy things. So I guess that's extremes, but I just think of that as balance."

Well, it certainly sounds like Angelina is living the life right now, between her perfect pregnancy and fancy new digs, but we're still a lot more excited for the fun that starts once the down time is over and the twins are finally here.
