'Water For Elephants' & 'Breaking Dawn' Make Empire's The Big 2011 Preview
It’s the turn of the, like, total hotties, OMG. These are the efforts full of perfect cheekbones and huge, gelled hair – and that’s just the boys. From Robert Pattinson to Dianna Agron to Taylor Lautner to Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, here’s the pretty boys and girls that will be rocking 2011…
Smelling salts at the ready, because April 22 sees the return of the mighty R.Pattz in Water For Elephants. Pattinson plays a veterinary student who throws in his studies after the death of his parents and runs away, finding himself in a traveling circus. There he falls for Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) – which would be fine were it not for her violent husband August (Christoph Waltz). This is based on the novel of the same name, is not a sequel to Like Water For Chocolate, and looks set to be a more grown-up effort for the once and future Edward Cullen.
It’s the Big One on November 18, which sees Edward and Bella finally get it on in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. The fourth instalment will cover only the first half of the fourth (and final) Twilight book, and sees vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) and human Bella (Kristen Stewart) finally tie the knot and go on honeymoon. However, some complications soon turn up in the shape of an unplanned pregnancy and…well, we’ll say no more. But at least in this Twilight movie the plot might actually move forward for once. Fans will still have to wait until 2012 for the big finale, but that just gives them extra time to dream of Edward / Jacob / Bella (delete as appropriate) so they probably consider that a bright side.

New/Old Photo of Kristen + Fan encounter at the 'New Moon' Premiere
"I wrote this a year ago (12/9/09) to a friend . It wasn't an encounter I thought to share because I didn't have any Kristen twitters/blogs I followed. I liked Kristen prior to my encounter because I knew her over anyone else when I first heard of Twilight the movie. I liked her as Bella but I wasn't obsessed with her...I only have eyes for one in that category.
Anywho, after my NM encounter with her, my likeness solidified to a permanence. I had a great personal experience with her that made me feel quite special after 5 days of living on the streets. If it didn't go against the grain, I might say she was the best red carpet experience of the night. but there's no way I can say that when I got Rob to say my name ;) that being said...if i wasn't Robsessed, she'd get the gold medal by a mile:"
Welch was the first big star from Twilight to hit the carpet and I asked him for a picture but it didn't go so well. It was then that I decided to readjust my plan for taking pictures. I wouldn't ask for any pics with celebs. I'd just take them. they didn't mind you snapping away like a lunatic. I also never planned to get autographs but they expect it. They come to you looking for something to sign. I said what the hell and had them sign my new moon companion book.
So after realizing the celebs were not gonna really be able to take pics WITH you...i ditched that attempt...UNTIL...

The lovely Kristen Stewart came along. She was so calm and looked you dead in the eye and held it. She didn't look away or get shifty eyes. She would look at you, smile and talk...very engaging. Made you feel like you were the only one there. Since she was looking at me longer than the others, I actually felt comfortable asking her for a picture which she graciously said, "Of course." As we were taking the pic I blurted out, "I think you're great as Bella!" That's why I look crazy...I was talking while taking the pic and I was excited...she was so nice! She thought she said something while i took the picture and started apologizing. She thought I took the pic at the moment she said "thank you". Clearly I didn't and she looks fab and I look stone crazy. LOL I told her don't worry about it and to keep going (down the line). She's my 2nd fav encounter of the night. First is obvious. ;)
New/Old Pictures of Kristen & Fans
This is not a 'statement post' but if you think it is - then maybe it is. Kristen is really sweet to her fans and I love how she always have her arm around them. Some of these may have been posted before.

New fan encounter with Rob & Kristen from New Years Eve
I'm originally from the South Coast of England (where my best mate still lives) so we rented out a chalet on the Isle of Wight.
Let me just state, there was NO Stalking involved, I am the only person in my group that loves Twilight and Kristen.
We went to Ventor to a couple of the pubs on new years eve. There aren't a huge amount of pubs and we were moving on to the next one when we stopped to get cash out. The guy in front of us looked familiar, and then i twigged it was Tom Stu!
Sure enough Rob was just behind him and Kristen walked past us with 2 other English girls (she is so little).
I couldn't believe it but i didn't say anything to them at the time. I was in shock a little (also mildy tipsy!) we continued with our pub crawl stopping off for a couple more drinks in another pub.
The final pub we got to at about ten to eleven in the evening and it was lovely so we decided to stay. Whilst goofing around with my best mate and having a smoke, I realised we were standing right in front of the Brit Pack!
Kristen hung out with the girls most of the time i was there (she didn't seem to get bothered much at all and was chatting away)
Later we went inside and I bumped into Rob (not intentional I swear!) the place was packed and small we stood right beside Kristen and her group watching the band play. They were all kinda mock dancing but then so were we as many drinks had been consumed at this point.
I went to buy more drinks at the bar, and some bloke was asking Rob for a Picture, he very politely declined... but said he would sign something.
When i walked past I asked if he could sign a little ugly doll toy we had brought with us, which he did.
Que a very interesting drunken conversation.
The doll was blue and Rob wanted to know if it was racist to sign it! I laughed and said 'I didn't think so' he asked if we were having a good night. I replied by saying yes but I'm a probably a bit too pissed! he said 'yeah me too'!.
The clock chimed in twelve to old lang time there was kissing and hugging all round( sorry to say Rob and Kristen didn't appear to kiss in the pub).
I went outside for another smoke after twelve, and Kristen Walked out with the two girls....
I went up to her and said something like 'Hey I don't want a picture or anything' which made her instantly relax a little and i continued on to say that the runaways was my favourite film of this year, before i corrected myself and said last year ( i got a laugh ;) and that her performance inspired me to ask for a guitar for christmas from my boyfriend.
She said that was *beep* awesome and Joan would be thrilled to hear that'
we chatted a little bit more before i said thanks happy new year, blah blah blah.
They all left at about quarter past twelve, we stayed at the pub drinking... a reporter came up and asked us some stuff and I told him to get bent! (drinking makes me feisty!!)
She added later with the picture:
I did say in my post they didn't appear to kiss but only because their group was large and rob was much nearer the bar. however, yes i was kissing my boyfriend so they may have kissed or hugged when i wasn't looking (let me add i wasn't staring the whole time, but inside the pub Kristen was literally next to me, so it was hard not to look a bit!)
Two new photos of Rob in Isle of Wight
One on-looker told local reporters: ‘We were hoping they would come back to the pub again this year and when they walked through the door no-one could quite believe it.
‘They seemed like a really sweet, down to earth couple with no airs or graces. There was a live band playing and they were bopping along to the music and enjoying themselves.
‘Robert looked as if he was drinking some sort of short and then they went out on to the seafront for a while.
Robert was dressed in a black hooded jumper and leather jacket and wore a black hat.
Kristen also rugged up in black, perhaps in an attempt to avoid attention and the couple's relaxed attire mirrored the informal celebrations.
The couple seemed happy to chat to fans and posed for a picture with aspiring actress Hattie Bury.

Photos of Rob and Kristen in Isle of Wight
From the woman who met them:
Yep they’re over here alright. Got a picture with them both. He was lovely and very chilled…she was different. However I’m very happy that i got the opportunity to meet them both. Some people say she’s rude but i mean it was New Years eve so it was pretty intrusive of me to ask for a photo. I just didn’t want to let a moment like that go if you know what i mean. I’m never going to see them again so asked and luckily they agreed to have a photo with me.They were outside on the sea front with a group of friends. It was nice coz everyone was really chilled. Me and my friend spotted him. He was just chatting to his friends and Kristen went somewhere and when she came back she went to him and they were both chatting with a guy whilst having some drinks. They sparked up so i waited until afterwards to i could ask them for a photo. My friend went up and spoke to Kristen who seemed shocked. Probably because they seem to have grabbed no attention what-so-ever so a couple of overly grinning fans wasn’t the first wish she had for New Year :S I took the photo and then asked if i could have one. Wished them a Happy New Year then went away very quickly, didn’t want to annoy them any more than i had already.Looking back i think i was wrong to be so offended. After all she gave me the pic i wanted which was good of her. I’m honestly way too sensitive. She honestly looked worried when we approached. I suppose they had nobody there to protect them (i’m not sure how they live their lives body guard wise :S)I’m actually not that bigger Rob P fan. I used to be when the films first came out but haven’t kept up to date.All i know is that i saw this page and after meeting them both i wanted to confirm that they were on the Isle of Wight. I didn’t realise i would get so many facebooks adds etc So i’m just trying to show the picture and carry on.
It wasn’t such a great New Year’s Eve for Twilight Stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who were hoping to celebrate the New Year on the Island unnoticed.
A twitter frenzy followed after a fan spotted the pair on an inbound hovercraft to the Island on Thursday.
Friends of the couple who spoke exclusively to “The Gazette” said” Robert and Kristen were hoping to blend in and not be noticed but unfortunately that didn’t happen.”
It improved impossible after the pair spent New Years eve at the Spyglass Inn in Ventnor. The couple and their entourage of 20 friends were spotted at the Spyglass on Friday night and returned for a bite to eat of Jacket Potatoes and side salads again this afternoon.
Pattinson and Stewart were trying to avoid being the center of attention but their fame proved impossible.
After rumors hit the web that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had gotten into a fight over Kristen spending Christmas Eve with her “On The Road” co-star Garrett Hedlund, the pair were spotted walking on the beach in Ventor
The Gazette managed to obtain an exclusives picture of the couple clearly showing the romance was back on despite rumours of there break over Christmas.
Spotted Robert Pattinson having lunch with mates in Ventnor Pub, Isle of Wight. He is in the blue hoodie and K is in plaid shirt. A lot of their mates were singing (maybe it was Rob himself)
People's 'Water For Elephants' Article & Photos - Lots of sweet comments about Rob
For Robert Pattinson, it was the elephant that sealed the deal.The Twilight star, 24, was on the fence about taking the role of Jacob, a veterinary student who joins a traveling circus in the upcoming Depression-era romantic drama Water for Elephants – until the actor met Tai, his 42-year-old, nearly 9000-lb. costar.
"Rob was non-committal until he saw the elephant," recalls the film's animal coordinator Paul 'Sled' Reynolds."After he met Tai, he knew he wanted to do this movie. He absolutely adored that elephant."
PEOPLE has a first look at some of the film's rich images – and Pattinson's near smooch with Tai.
The adaptation of Sara Gruen's bestselling novel, which arrives in theaters on April 22, tells the story of a love triangle that develops between Jacob, Reese Witherspoon's Marlena, who is the show's bottle-blonde star performer, and her husband August, the circus's abusive ringleader, played by Oscar-winning Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz.
Chemistry Lesson
While it was important to the filmmakers that Pattinson bond with Tai, their chief concern was making sure sparks flew between him and Witherspoon, 34.
"I saw early on that those two had a real on-screen chemistry," the film's director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) tells PEOPLE. "There was just this thing that happens between the two of them when they are together as those two characters that was very exciting."
Lawrence became convinced that Pattinson could pull off the challenging role of Jacob shortly after a meeting with the British heartthrob to discuss the part.
"When I sat down with Rob, I found that despite his success, there was a real sense of humility with him," says Lawrence. "I found that he was kind of uncomfortable in his own skin, and maybe even uncomfortable with everything that was happening to him. Rob is a very sensitive guy who very much loves animals."
Adds Lawrence, "I found that, wow, this guy kind of already is Jacob."

True Blood's James Frain talks about working with Rob in Water For Elephants
True Blood star James Frain has revealed he regrets not getting any "vampire tips" from Robert Pattinson on the set of Water For Elephants.Robert is known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in hit franchise Twilight, and fellow Brit James takes on the role of a vampire in the forthcoming third series of True Blood.
But James said he and Robert did not talk about vampires while on the set of their film, which also stars Reese Witherspoon.
He said: "My scenes were with Robert Pattinson but I'm sorry to say we didn't swap vampire stories. I wish we had.
"People can't believe there's going to be a scene in the movie with a Twilight vampire talking to a True Blood vampire and that we didn't spend our time chatting about that, but I'm afraid not. I wish I'd got vampire tips from him, I wish I'd gone 'Oi, Bob mate, any tips?'."
But James was full of praise for Robert, saying: "He's sweet, quite shy, just a really good guy."
Water For Elephants, which is based on a book about a travelling circus, is due out in April 2011.

Rob is E!Online's Celeb of The Year
This competition was not for the faint of heart. We started off with 99 of the year's biggest celebs and put the task of naming a champion in your hands. In the end, the final matchup was the most agonizing and also one of the closest: Who would walk away with the title? Would it be Robert Pattinson or would it be Kristen Stewart? The votes are in.
So who is your 2010 Celeb of the Year?
Robert Pattinson
The race was close right up to the end, but ultimately Pattinson's 6,430 votes (51.5 percent) won out over Stewart's 6,063 votes (48.5 percent). Could this be considered an upset?
While both actors shared in the success of this summer's third Twilight installment, Eclipse, which brought in more than $300 million at the box office, it seemed Stewart had the more noteworthy year, career-wise. Her two other films, The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys, both earned the actress solid critical and audience acclaim, further establishing her as more than just Bella Swan. Pattinson's other film, Remember Me, on the other hand...Well, critics and audiences had other thoughts on that one.
But the people have spoken and here's to the winner and everyone else who fought for the top spot! (Keep it up, Betty White!) Better luck in 2011.
