Taylor and Selena "Just Friends"

Jennifer Stone, co-star of Selena on Wizards of Waverly Place, has confirmed that Selena and Taylor are "Just Friends"




Here's the article:

Contrary to mounting rumors on the street, Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez are not dating, they're "just friends," the Disney actress' celebrity friend Jennifer Stone has confirmed. "Just because they're hanging out together doesn't mean they're dating, you know," Jennifer explained to E! News while attending the Catch Boutique and Operation Smile and Hope event in L.A. on Thursday night, April 30.

"She's friends with guys!" Jennifer revealed further about her "Wizards of Waverly Place" co-star Selena. "A lot of girls have guy friends." Speaking about Taylor, Jennifer told E! News, "I'm a big 'Twilight' fan though. I'm a big Robert Pattinson fan, which I know if I met Taylor, he would not be a fan of me not saying he's my favorite, but I really do love Rob."

Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez ignited rumors of them dating after they were photographed hitting Caffe Artigiano in Vancouver, Canada on April 23 amidst break from shooting their films there. They were also said having dinner at a local outpost of the Old Spaghetti Factory.

The rumored lovers added fuel to the dating speculation after Selena was snapped hugging Taylor when they made their way out of The Cactus Club in Coquitlam, BC back on April 25. And while there hasn't been comment made by either of the actors, a source has been quoted by E! News as confirming Jennifer's statement that Taylor and Selena, indeed, are not romantically involved.


now does that picture look like people who are "Just Friends"? You tell me!!

New set pictures and such

Here are some new pictures from the set along with some reports from Vancity Allie!

The Bella Motorcycle Mystery (Twilight New Moon) from VancityAllie on Vimeo.

Sadly did not get good quality photos tonight at the Twilight set, but it was an amazing experience. I got lucky and managed to get a great video which captures the feel of the scene, PLUS you can hear Kristen saying some of her lines! Thanks to cast and crew for being so cool!

Last night of on-location filming in Vancouver. *sigh* Sadness!

The set took place behind the theatre where they were filming yesterday on a long strip of road under the skytrain rails. They set up a “One-Eyed Pete” sign for the bar. Neat!

Because we got there so late, we missed all of Rob’s scenes. This is how his scenes were filmed, and how they are going to incorporate more of him into the movie than the book: In this scene in the movie, Bella leaves the theatre with Jessica (the first time she goes to the theatre, not the second time when she goes with Mike and Jacob)… and encounters the same gang that she did in the first movie. And they’ve got motorcycles. She decides to go on a joyride with one of the gang members to try to upset Edward into appearing in her head again. Only in this particular movie scene, they actually filmed Rob Pattinson standing right beside Kristen Stewart telling her not to go, with Kristen standing and talking to the gang member beside his bike. (I’m sure they’ll make him an apparition in post-production editing).

New Robbie interview number 3

The Guardian has a new interview with Robbie.





Here it is


Before Robert Pattinson auditioned for the part of Edward the vampire in Twilight, he took a quarter of a Valium to see where it would take him. He got the part. He had no idea what he'd signed up for: he might have been aware that Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga had attracted 17m readers worldwide and that the Mormon mother from Arizona was the biggest publishing phenomenon since JK Rowling. What he didn't see coming were the teen girls who'd fallen in love with the sensitive, tortured Edward of Meyer's books. First they revolted online, calling Pattinson a gargoyle – and worse. Then they changed their minds, fell in love with him en masse and refused to leave him alone.

Pattinson, who turns 23 later this month, has become an international pin-up since Twilight was released last year. He's probably bigger news even than Daniel Radcliffe. After all, Harry Potter still seems like a little boy while Edward is a passionate, redblooded teen vampire in love with a mortal schoolgirl called Bella. Forget that gargoyle nonsense, too: Pattinson is an unlikely fusion of Johnny Depp and Doctor Whoelect Matt Smith. He favours the same vintage clothes as Depp and the actors share the same tough femininity; he's got the same architectural hair as Smith, the same asymmetrical features and strangely alluring face. Oh, and he's six-foot tall with the lean body of youth.

Yet Pattinson himself can take none of the attention seriously. Educated at a private day school in London, he has the kind of posh English accent Americans love, but he's not remotely pretentious or full of himself. His Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, once said that Pattinson can't lie; he also can't seem to stop talking. Right now he's describing the hotel room in Vancouver, where he's been filming New Moon, the second in the Twilight quartet. "I've been living in this windowless room on the 30-something floor. Because the people who built it were afraid of people killing themselves! It's one of those business hotels. I guess they're worried about not being able to charge so much for rooms if guests were killing themselves …"

Most actors live in apartments, or at least hotel suites, while on set. But not Pattinson: "I've settled there now. It would take about three weeks for me to gather all my belongings. I don't let the maids in. I don't even pull the duvet down now because I don't want to see what's underneath."

There are always fans waiting outside the hotel but he tries not to think about the phenomenal level of fame he's reached in north America; he says he'd go mad if he did. So he tries to disguise himself: "But instead I'm just getting more and more conspicuous; I'm wearing two hoods, a hat and sunglasses, which kind of stands out in the middle of the night. So I'm learning to sprint."

At times Pattinson sounds grown-up, but he also lapses into adolescent silliness. Ask if he has a fake hotel name and the giggling starts: "I was Clive Handjob in Paris. Everyone in the hotel called me 'Monsieur Handjob'. That was good, cheap fun."

When he got the role of Edward, Pattinson was sent to have his hair cut and dyed. He was given a personal trainer and, for the first time, got himself a six pack. He was also sent for media training to help him handle the juggernaut of publicity required for Twilight (in the US principal cast members have to participate in events such as "hype-building panels" to push the fi lm). He may now look more like a movie star but he still says things he shouldn't. In one interview, he volunteered the information about the Valium and then seemed to dismiss Little Ashes, an arthouse film he made before Twilight, as "nothing". He also pointed out, rather brashly, that "we didn't even have trailers".

Pattinson's experience of film-making is limited – at 17, he won the small part of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, a role he reprised in the Order Of The Phoenix; he then lived off the pay cheque for a few years – but he's already got regrets. Little Ashes explores the homosexual relationship between surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and the romantic poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca in Spain in the early-1920s. It's a fascinating period – the surrealist film-maker Luis Buñuel was also hanging around – but art historians have already questioned the veracity of Philippa Goslett's script, saying that there's no proof Dalí and Lorca actually consummated their relationship.

Made for a modest £1.4m, Little Ashes suffers from its ambition, and Pattinson – with only Harry Potter under his belt – struggles to portray the hugely complex Dalí with any real conviction. Yet he briefly blows up when I mention his dismissal of the film as "nothing". "I hate having to do all this shit! I've already been told to apologise for saying it. I was just trying to say that it was a tiny, little film. It had a minuscule budget. I was just trying to say that if Twilight hadn't come along, I don't know how much Little Ashes would have been publicised. In an ideal world, everyone would go around watching arthouse films about Dalí and Lorca. But a lot of people have no idea who Lorca even was."

He collects himself: "People love all the negative stuff – 'He doesn't like the film!' 'He's a homophobe!' Oh great." Now that he's been told to make amends, Pattinson is actually taking Little Ashes more seriously. He even watched it the other night. And he never watches himself on screen, ever. "It's like self-flagellation, so why would I bother? And I didn't want to piss on anyone's grave. It was hard to watch my first scene, in which I turn up in this funny little hat … I was worried about watching them, but Dalí and Lorca's sex scenes were in fact the best scenes."

Twilight fans, being obsessive, will certainly be checking out a nearly-naked Pattinson in Little Ashes (be warned: this is pre-six pack, though his skin is vampishly livid). That's the problem with suddenly becoming very famous; the skeletons fly out of the closet at breakneck speed. And Dalí's fetching little hat in Little Ashes is nothing compared to the succession of dodgy old adverts that have reappeared recently. There are some particularly fetching ones on the net of Pattinson in pants or trunks, with bouffant hair and a cheesy smile. "Really? When I looked like a real … weirdo? I swear to god that's illegal! It's just so embarrassing. Actually, I saw one the other day."

Pattinson does seem to be overwhelmed with his lot right now. He hasn't asked Daniel Radcliffe for advice – "I haven't got his number!" – and is predictably prickly when asked about being defined by his role in Twilight. He spouts a lot of media training rubbish about making absolutely the best movie he can in the hope that people will see him as a good actor and not just as Edward. In the brief time I talk to him, it seems that he's in a place he never intended to be; after all, he was contemplating giving acting up before the Edward audition.

But perhaps he's happy with his life and it's just the interviews he hates. He says that when he's doing phone interviews in his hotel room, he sometimes wishes there was a window to jump out of. He's only joking, of course, but it seems that the actual process of acting has got lost in the fog of Hollywood publicity. Sometimes he has fun making things up in interviews. Such as? "I do really intellectually highbrow stuff in my downtime. I read first-edition Shakespeare. I write poetry. I'm trying to get my masters in neuroscience. That's the kind of guy I am." He pauses, clearly amusing himself: "Man, I don't even know what a masters is." And he laughs hysterically as he creates another shape with his hair.

New Robbie interview number 2

The San Francisco Chronicle has an new interview with Robbie.



Here it is!


Robert Pattinson is in Vancouver gearing up for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the blood-sucking sequel to Catherine Hardwicke’s wildly successful teen-vampire-romance movie, “Twilight.” And like love the second time around, it’s not the same.

“It’s strange because it already feels much more of a slick machine,” Pattinson says of the film, which is being directed by Chris Weitz. “The first one we had such a young cast. Everybody was friends. It was fun. There was nothing like what it is now. Now there are people waiting outside the hotels all the time. We have security. It’s crazy.”

And Pattinson hasn’t even started yet. He’s been in Vancouver for three weeks pacing up and down his hotel room while the shoot has been under way because “I like to get some kind of momentum going in my own process, so when I actually turn up on the set I should know vaguely what I’m talking about.”

Pattinson, whose almost ethereal beauty has been a key part of “Twilight’s” success, is nothing if not self-deprecating. He delivers his thoughts in a stuttering, half-finished manner distantly related to another British heartthrob, Hugh Grant. He also seems to share Grant’s well-known discomfort with attention. In fact, the only respite from all the screaming women recently has been movie sets.

“I feel like most of the time for the past few months I’m pretty much working every time I get out of the house, working or not, so I might as well be working,” he says. “I’m always in work mode. Just in case someone comes up to you, you’ve got to have your game face on.”

Probably none of this will change with the release of his newest film, Paul Morrison’s “Little Ashes” - if for no other reason than few of his fans will see it. Shot before “Twilight” made Pattinson a tousle-haired poster boy, the film, set primarily in the 1920s, is about the relationship between Spanish poet-playwright Frederico Garcia Lorca (Javier Beltran) and Surrealist gadfly Salvador Dali (Pattinson). What begins as a mutual admiration society of up-and-coming artists becomes much, much more. Speculation has it that Lorca and Dali were, or almost became, lovers. The film goes there, to a degree that made Pattinson very uncomfortable until he actually saw it.

“I guess I was expecting things to be more graphic,” Pattinson says. “There’s so much shame involved, and the thing I was really worried about was trying to show the madness of it.”

In fact, the only aspect of the film that seems to trouble him now is the not-at-all convincing aging of Dali to 30 or so. Pattinson was 21 when he made the film, and he looks it. Ironically, he faces the opposite problem with the “Twilight” series. His character, Edward, never ages, so he has to look like an undead teenager through the three sequels he’s contractually obligated to appear in.

“I think all of them will be done within a year and half,” he says. “The whole thing is about change and aging. So it would look ridiculous if I’m playing 17 when I look 35.”

Which is another way of saying that Pattinson is unconcerned about being locked into author Stephenie Meyer’s franchise in the same way that the Harry Potter cast has been in theirs. It won’t last that long.

Then it will be interesting to see in which direction Pattinson decides to go. No doubt his fans would prefer him to continue looking good, but he appears to have other ideas. He talks about one part he’s considering in which he speaks a foreign language he doesn’t know and another in which he plays “an incredibly abusive, terrifying character.” He certainly seems to like playing characters who are tormented, or at least struggling with who they are.

“I try to choose things which are something that I’m going through in my life,” he says. “Jobs that will help me realize or add something about myself. I don’t really think about it in terms of a career.” {sbox}

New interview with Robbie

Thanks to Robsessed we have an article from a spanish magazine.






Before half humanity offered their veins to him, Robert Pattinson frolicked in Lorca’s arms. It’ not a Gay fantasy, but Little Ashes , the film where the bloodsucker of Twilight personifies a young Dalí. We checked how much fame has changed him.

The mustache is not deceiving: Behind this personification of young Dalí, hides one of the most coveted specimens of today’s film industry. A year before personifying the romantic vampire of Twilight, Robert Pattinson 22, was devoted to the Mediterranean lifestyle in Barcelona. The excuse, the filming of Little Ashes, a recreation of the impossible love lived between the painter and Federico Garcia Lorca which shows us, for example, frolicking butt naked next to his friend and lover underneath the moonlight in the waters of Cadaqués. We caught him just getting off the plane in Vancouver to film New Moon the second part of the saga conceived by Stephanie Meyer.

EP3. What attracted you about Little Ashes?
Robert Pattinson. - That it’s and exceptional tragedy. I doubt that I can ever reach such level of tragedy in my career (laughs). I didn’t have any idea of who Dalí, Lorca and Buñuel where, until this film. And the more I found out about them, the more obsessed I became. Specially, with Dalí’s literary compositions. Many people don’t know this, but he was an incredible writer. I found that I had many things in common with him.

EP3. - For example?
R.P. – He had an enormous self-consciousness about him and how people perceived him. And he worked to manipulate this. It’s something I did throughout my childhood and teenage years.

EP3. - Dalí came out to be a vampire also. What have the casting directors seen in you to brand you like this.
R.P.- It’s weird. During a rehearsal of this film, Marina Gatell (who interprets, Magdalena, Lorca’s inseparable friend) told me: “ You Know? You are a vampire” it was so bizarre. And now that I remember it, it’s even more bizarre( laughs).

EP3. - And what do you think now about your first sex scenes in filming being with another guy?
R.P.- The worst part is that they’re not romantic at all, their really traumatic experiences. More than excitement, you feel sorry for both (laughs). It was all so uncomfortable, not only because the first one we did, Javier (Beltrán, who interprets Lorca) and I had just met the day before. But because we filmed with zero intimacy, surrounded by Spanish speaking technicians, a language I didn’t understand, and they where giggling at our expense.

EP3. - Who’s a better kisser, Javier or Kirsten (Stewart, his beloved in Twilight)?
R.P.- Definitively, Javier (laughs).

EP3. - You have said that because of the success of Twilight, it turns out to be difficult for you to carry a normal life. What do you do on your free time?
R.P.- Somehow, work has become my best refuge. Even though it may sound ridiculous, as soon as I get some free time I start reading scripts. I feel somewhat frustrated for not going to college, so I try desperately to self educate. I have brought with me to Vancouver like 100 books, they’re all scattered all over the hotel room.

EP3.- I have a feeling that it will be very hard for you to disassociate from “Edward The Vampire”. What would be the perfect role that would help you do this?
R.P.- Hey, if you hear of one, let me know (laughs). Anything that has nothing to do with blood, I hope.

EP3. - I have read that a masochistic narcissism drives you to read everything that’s published about you. How often do you google your name?
R.P.- Oh, you’ve seen that on my interview with April’s GQ right? Dude, I was joking, it sounded like I was a total loser and it made me laugh just saying it, so I did.

EP3. - You should know by now, that everything you say is news.
R.P.- Right, but it is so weird to me. And it can be very annoying, because I spend the day apologizing for all this rubbish that I say without even thinking. I have hopes that if I keep contradicting myself all the time, nothing I say will become news anymore (laughs). I’m a blabbermouth, I know…

EP3. - Is there something in particular that you’ve read about yourself, that has bothered you?
R.P.- Ehem (clearing his throat) … A couple of days ago, my Mum sent me an email, she was very worried, it seems, I’ve been hit in the face with some pole, while filming New Moon and I was unconscious…. And I haven’t (at the moment of this interview) even rehearsed for any scene yet; I haven’t even set foot in the set!

EP3. - Well the last thing I’ve heard about you, was that someone on the set, said that you stink, that you smell bad.
R.P.- (I’ve heard that). Yeah, I’ve read it too! Funny thing is that those kinds of rumors always come from “anonymous sources”. But if I just arrived to Vancouver! I must smell horrible, cause the set is 25 Kilometers from the hotel and I haven’t even been outside the room.

EP3. - You have also said that you would rather pass on having a girlfriend on an atmosphere with a reputation of being so polluted. Have you found anyone that has made you change your mind?
R.P.- Oh, no (laughs). I remember when I was filming Harry Potter & The order of the Phoenix, where I hardly have a small part, that everybody was talking about my then girlfriend. It is so stressing for them. You have to become so reserved about it.

EP3. - You really lived a persecution with Camilla Belle (10,000 B.C.) ….
R.P.- Yeah, but it was different with her. She was only a friend. It was funny for us. The thing is: if she’s not your girlfriend, it doesn’t matter; but if she is, it all turns into a nightmare, everyone wants to know what you’re doing.

EP3. - Have you had a stalker?
R.P.- You won’t believe this, but the last time I felt stalked, was when I was shooting Little Ashes, in Barcelona. A girl would wait for me at my doorstep every day. The truth is that she was really nice, completely normal, but it all sounds very weird…I don’t know whatever happened to her. Or maybe I was just nuts and she only existed in my head. (laughs)

EP3. - Let’s say you’ve got 8 weeks of vacation starting today, what would you do?
R.P.- I want to travel! That’s why I always look for work in different countries. I think next year I would like to work in Paris for three months.

EP3. - For what Project?
R.P.- Ahhh, we’ll see if I’m going to be a blabbermouth again….It’s a Bel-Ami adaptation, from Guy de Maupassant. Now that I’ve told you, I can go around telling to everybody. Besides, I’m sick of people saying: “You can only make those Twilight films, you’re nothing more than a fleeting star”. I refuse to accept that! (laughs).

EP3. - Maybe that way you’ll earn to be seated second row at the Oscars, like this year….
R.P.- Oh, man, how embarrassing. I’ve never felt so unworthy of anything in my life. What was I doing there, when I had only made one movie, which would never be nominated in the Academy Awards?

New interview with Robbie

Fandango (of all places) has a new interview with Robbie.




Here it is!


Fandango: There was the showy, intentionally bizarre public Dalí and then there is his art, which should be taken very seriously. Have you thought about that as it applies to your own work?
Pattinson: Yeah. He had a fanatical control over how he was perceived. But now it’s really out of control – out of your control. Your public image just seems to be in the hands of faceless strangers. You see these stories come up all the time and you’re like, “Jesus. How do you know…?”

Fandango: Is it harder playing a real person, as opposed to playing the fictional Edward Cullen who had his story laid out in black and white?
Pattinson: I think in a lot of ways it’s kind of the same. You’re still playing fiction even though you’re playing a real character. It’s the same kind of approximation of somebody. The only thing that you can take from the book is the general outline, the mood changes, the emotional changes and development. I’m not playing it exactly as it is in the book.

Fandango: Dalí was a famed surrealist and no doubt you’ve had your share of surreal experiences in the last few months – like fans screaming over cardboard cutouts of you at the video store.
Pattinson: I know! I was in a Blockbuster on the day it was being released. I had forgotten it was being released that day. There were two families who had come with eight- or nine-year old-daughters to get their DVD. They were standing in the line crying and I stood watching what all this commotion was about. They didn’t know I was there or anything. I was just thinking “Wow, you’re crying about a DVD.” It’s fascinating.

Fandango: And you never revealed yourself to them?
Pattinson: No way! [laughs]

Fandango: Do you and your castmates try to top each other with the wild post-fame encounters you’ve had?
Pattinson: In a lot of ways they are all quite similar. The funny thing is that I’m always going around trying to look as inconspicuous as possible I find that people are always really disappointed when they actually recognize me. They are like ‘”Oh! At first I thought you were a bum but then I realized who you were.”

Fandango: You’re just getting started shooting New Moon. How are things going?
Pattinson: The interesting thing about this one is that so much of my character is in Bella’s head. It’s based on a mixture of memories and nightmares. Bella thinks she is going mad. I get to do some really creepy stuff. In other words, Bella is really frightened of [her hallucinations]. It’s really, really different than Twilight. I think that a lot of people will be kind of scared by this one. I wanted to try and put that into Twilight but I couldn’t really find a way to make Edward scary.

Fandango: How is working with the new director, Chris Weitz?
Pattinson: He’s a great guy. He’s very, very talented, and articulate. I guess it must be kind of stressful for him to take this on. It’s got so much expectation. He just seems very calm about everything.

Fandango: What was it like attending the Academy Awards for the first time?
Pattinson: I got there and then I’m sitting in the second row. It was unbelievable. I keep thinking that something terrible is going to happen. “Death” is the only thing I’m thinking the whole time. I just used up all my luck so I’m probably going to die at 23 or something.

Fandango: Did you discover that any of the hugely famous stars that were there were actually fans of Twilight, or their kids love the movie?
Pattinson: Robin Wright Penn came up to me. I thought that was kind of amazing after her husband had just won Best Actor. That was very, very surreal.

Fandango: You contributed a couple of songs to the Twilight soundtrack. Are you still pursuing music, and will you be doing more for New Moon?
Pattinson: I’m in talks to do a soundtrack for another movie, composing. I cannot say what it is yet, but I really, really, really want to do. I don’t think I’m going to have anything on New Moon, but never say never.

Fandango: And next you might be doing Memoirs, which has been described as a story of two star-crossed lovers trying to overcome family tragedies.
Pattinson: That will hopefully happen. It’s not finalized yet. It’s a great script and it’s something different from anything I’ve done before. I was in New York working on rewrites the other day with Jenny [Lumet, screenwriter of Rachel Getting Married]. It seemed like its going to be really, really, really good.

Fandango: Finally, for many people, Dalí became known as the artist with the crazy mustache and today you’re the actor with the wild hair. Did you recognize the parallel in the hirsute trademarks?
Pattinson: [laughs] I didn’t think about that, but it’s funny because people are still bringing up my hair, even though I cut it off to make it different. That is quite funny. God. I hope that I don’t get known for that for the rest of my life.


i just love him!

Alec talks about being on New Moon

The Vancouver Sun has a new interview with Cameron Bright, the guy that's going to play Alec in New Moon

I didn't realize I'd be doing an interview with a vampire the next time I caught up with Cameron Bright.

Bright, 16, hasn't even started filming his scenes as Alec -- part of the Volturi vampire clan and twin brother of Jane (Dakota Fanning) in the Twilight sequel New Moon -- yet he has been affected by Twilight mania since the day he was cast.

"It's going to be kind of weird," admits the Nanaimo actor who confesses he had to be dragged to see Twilight, the first in a series of movies based on Stephenie Meyer's popular romantic teenage vampire novels.

"All the guys were saying, 'It's a chick movie,' but it was really good," Bright recalls. "I'm glad to be a part of it."

No sooner had news reports surfaced about Bright joining the New Moon cast headlined by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Michael Sheen than he began getting text messages from his friends.

"Even if you're in it for five minutes, you're huge," says the Victoria-born actor who made his debut in a Telus commercial. "You're revered."

Not surprisingly, he has also been getting more attention from female friends.

"I say 'no' right away, because when they walk up to me I can sense what they're going to say," he says, laughing. " 'Can you get me Robert Pattinson's autograph?' "

Bright, who hadn't read the books, says it was easy finding a Twilight fan to help him research his role.

"I said, 'I'm going to play Alec. Do you know him? Yeah? Sweeeet! Thanks, ya did the job for me.' "

While he hasn't worked with Fanning, he met her at the Critic's Choice Awards in Los Angeles two years ago.

"She didn't know who I was, so when I introduce myself and go, 'Hey, do you remember me?' she'll probably say no," he says, adding he should get to know her quickly on the Vancouver set. "In our first scene I get to kiss her on the cheek."

Since his scenes are interiors, he won't be joining her when exterior Volturi sequences are shot in Tuscany, however.

Now standing tall at 5-foot-10, with longer hair and the demeanour, vocal inflections and lingo of a typical texting teenager, Bright seems worlds away from his younger self -- the cherubic youngster known for playing spooky children.

He savours the memories of getting to work with Hollywood royalty in his first two major movies. He played Adam, the sinister clone of a distraught couple's dead son, opposite Robert De Niro in Godsend; and Sean, a solemn 10-year-old boy claiming to be the reincarnation of the late husband of a fragile New York widow played by Nicole Kidman in Birth.

The teen says he has grown used to his fame, as bizarre as it can be. He laughingly shrugs off the antics of some overzealous fans, such as one who impersonates him on MySpace.

"I think it's a riot," says Bright, who has even playfully posed as a fan himself and interacted with the impostor. "I go 'Hey, how's it going? Must be cool being in all those movies.' "

But he isn't complaining, realizing it's all part of the acting career he signed up for. "My fans make me, and if I didn't respect them I wouldn't be here," says

Interview with Jackson

Here's an interview and photos from Inked Magazine with Jackson:)





INKED: Let’s talk tattoos. How many do you have?
JACKSON RATHBONE: I only have one right now, but I definitely plan on getting more. My friends and I were kind of the bad kids in school, the troublemakers. We went to Interlochen Arts Academy, this really great boarding school in Michigan, and there were six of us who were always acting out against authority. The school administration was like, “Stay away from those boys-they’re ‘Lost Boys,’” so that’s what everyone called us. When I was 18, I got a tattoo that says, “I’m lost.”

What kind of shenanigans did you guys get into?
Remember the prohibition era? It was kind of like that.

Did you have a speakeasy in your dorm room?
Let’s just say we had a lot of alcohol on the premises that we weren’t supposed to have. We kept whiskey in shampoo bottles and vodka in conditioner bottles. A few of my friends were actually expelled.

You’re in a band too, called 100 Monkeys. So who’s wilder-the 100 Monkeys groupies or the Twilight groupies?
We’re just so happy to have fans at all. The 100 Monkeys fans are wild - one of my band mates once got molested in a bathroom after a show. The Twilight fans are so amazing-they’re always asking me to sign stuff, like their faces, or their cell phones. I’m like, I don’t want to de-face your cell phone! And I especially don’t want to de-face your face.

Are you signed on for the next Twilight movie, New Moon?
Wait, there’s another one? [Laughs.] Just kidding. Yes, I’m on board. I actually go up to Toronto to start training in a few days.

What other tattoos do you plan on getting?
I’d love to get the Rathbone family crest on my back-it would take up my whole back. Our motto is “Suaviter et Fortiter,” which means “nicely, but firmly.” My dad always taught me that you’ve got to give respect to get respect, and you’ve got to give love to get love. Makes sense, right?
