Heather | 243 comments Recorded it but haven't watched it yet. Did see Robin Hood today and they showed the 2nd trailer for Eclipse..


message 3: by AH (new)

AH | 123 comments OK, was it just me or was it really difficult to understand when Rob Pattinson was talking? And Kristen Stewart seemed really twitchy...I loved how Kristen gave the Caribbean fan a ring. That was nice.

Those Twimoms...I couldn't stop laughing...a red carpet in the basement, a full-size Edward cutout...

The home and sorority visits were funny.


Debbie The Book Vixen (goodreadscomdebbiethebookvixen) I caught it about 10 minutes after it started. I love Taylor he is great in front of the camera, Kristen always looks like she wants to be somewhere else, and Rob is just a sweet sincere English guy. Dakota was sweet too. BTW what happened to the Runaways movie It never came out? It was limited release in San Diego. If Rob and Kristen are a couple they should come out ALREADY, sheesh, but if they are a couple in real life I hope it does not affect Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. A Piece of trivia
Oprah mentions to Taylor people want to hear him howl, what event was he at that fans wanted him to howl and he told them please don't ask me that? San Diego Comic Con. convention :-)

Which clip did Kristen give a Caribbean fan a ring?


message 7: by AH (new)

AH | 123 comments This girl came up to Kristen and said that Bella was a great role model. She got to hug Kristen and then Kristen gave her a ring. Not sure which clip as I watched it when it aired. Probably second half of the show.


message 8: by Heather (new)

Heather (sparkleyturtle) | 151 comments I think it was in the last clip.

Thanks for posting the interview, I stopped taping Oprah, but then I miss the occasional episode like this one.


message 9: by Cathy (new)

Cathy (cathygreytfriend) | 53 comments I happened to see a commercial and was able to tape it. The part with Kristen and that adorable girl was nice; K seems to really appreciate how much this stuff means to kids, she was sweet about it. I cracked up when Taylor said that these 2 years have been the "time of his life." He's 18! They all seem pretty humble, especially considering what they're going through.


message 10: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, I actually started to like Kristen more after I watched this. I empathize with her nervousness cause that happens to me sometimes, but I don't have to go through everything that she does! You could tell that she was uncomfortable though.

I thought it was really sweet how they treat the fans. It may make them feel a fit awkward sometimes, lol, but they understand how much this means to some people. I know a lot of stars aren't like that.

Taylor comes across as really innocent. But what guy wouldn't like a whole sorority to want him? LOL. Oh man, poor kid! I also felt kindof bad for him that he had to do so much work for the role!


message 11: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments Sharon, that's a bummer! I also had heard from my friend that the Eclipse tickets were on sale at the theater I was AT! Hmm, what do you think I did??? Still haven't seen the interview just for the reasons that Kristen isn't comfortable doing them and I feel embarrassed for her..


message 12: by Heather in FL (new)

Heather in FL (heather_fl) That was awesome. Thanks for posting! I knew it was on, but didn't set it up to record, so I'm glad I got to see it. They all seem still very grounded. I loved the "surprise" visits from Taylor and Rob. And the Twi-moms were hilarious. I loved it with one of the kids said that his mom loves Edward more than him. Lol!


message 13: by ele (last edited May 16, 2010 05:18PM) (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, they do seem really grounded. And I can't believe Dakota is 16!

The "surprise" visits, yeah lol. How'd they set that up anyway, I wonder?

I think the kid said that his Dad said to the Mom "You like Edward more than me" LOL. At least that's what I heard.


message 14: by new_user (new)

new_user | 1389 comments It seemed like no one prepped them for the show. Either that or none of them know how to speak in public.


message 15: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, they were sortof nervously joking around the whole time. I guess that makes it easier on themselves, but you can sense the tension. Public speaking, ick. Glad I don't have to do it, often.


message 16: by new_user (new)

new_user | 1389 comments Well, they must have some sloppy managers because promotion is part of acting, and they'll have to do more of it in the future. They should have been coached. Even if they weren't, they're actors. You would think they could fake it? LOL.


message 17: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Well, they've done a few interviews already, right? Maybe they have been coached, but it's not working, lol.

It's okay. I just appreciate their work. I'm not really dying to hear their interviews. I think Kristen is so cute though cause she's so shy. Aww!

I've noticed that it's harder to play a part irl cause I've tried to use this approach with public speaking as well, but it doesn't work for me. >< Maybe a lot of other actors are good at it cause they're already outgoing. Hmm. Although.. I've seen some pretty awkward interviews, haha.

Man, they really do seem like a couple though, huh? I dunno, it's just weird. I'd seriously hate it if people kept asking me though. So annoying! But of course, you wouldn't be allowed to express your annoyance cause you have a good image for the audience. So lame and not true to life! Man, people's expectations.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

I love their nervousness and awkwardness. Maybe I'm the only one but I find it endearing. I would hate to see them all controlled and rehearsed. The Twilight Saga is a whole different beast than any other movies when it comes to publicity and fans. I'm glad they seem to be enjoying the ride.


message 19: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, I guess I can understand. Because this phenomenon means so much to people, of course the actors are nervous about how they represent themselves to their fans. That would be a hard thing to bear. :/

I don't know if it was this interview or I read it somewhere but Taylor gained 30lbs of muscle for the movie. OMG, creepy! haha


message 20: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments I think the one thing all these kids have going for them it that they haven't let fame go to their heads. I see the three of them differently now through your eyes. It is still had to watch them being interviewed and I pretty much hit the fast forward button button. Saw the scenes of the movie, which I what I really wanted to see.

Side bar: I work with cops and one of my cop buddies got an overtime assignment to stand by while Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz signed autographs at Hot Topic. Well, some of the cops wanted to bring their kids by to get autographs as well. I guess it had been a hard day cause both Ashley and Kellan threw a fit and said no. My cop buddy wasn't impressed. That has to be hard on everyone involved..


message 21: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, I guess they just get that sort of thing all the time and they get tired of it. It's hard to keep that up all day. A few more wouldn't have hurt though. :/


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

I just read somewhere that Ashley and Kellan are threatening not to do Breaking Dawn if they don't get a huge raise. Maybe it's just them. Everything I have seen with the cast has shown them in a very good light. They seem to all be very good sports in dealing with all the Twi-freaks. :)


message 23: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments I was thinking the same thing, that if it wasn't for the fans, they wouldn't be loved. Then again, like you said, I'm sure it is very tiring. Then again, wait too many then agains..


message 24: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments Yeah, Shannen, I heard that too about Ashley and Kellan! I think it is just a ploy. If they actually pull it off, it will be a death sentence..


message 25: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) I hope not. I really like Alice's character. She looks so different from the actress. It's weird. With actresses etc, some of the transformations are crazy. Off topic, but it's like when sometimes I can't even recognize Lady Gaga from one picture to the next.


message 26: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments LOL, about Lady Gaga, I bet her own mother doesn't recognize her!

I hope Ashley and Kellan come to their senses and do BD..


message 27: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Yeah, especially since that's my favorite book! It would suck if the movie became my least favorite because of that.


message 28: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments I hear ya Ashley. I think it is ploy, like the one they did on Robert saying he smelled a lot and didn't take showers.


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Rob said that about himself. He loves to make fun of himself.


message 30: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments Ahhh, OK, just like he said on the show that Kristen was pregnant. Right?


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

Yep. And just like today on Ellen when he tells her he cut his hair off because he had nits (head lice). He actually cut his hair off for his new movie Water for Elephants. I highly recommend the book. :)


message 32: by ele (new)

ele (elegyeldritch) Oh wow, there's gonna be a movie version already? I've wanted to read it. :D

I thought the pregnancy thing was hilarious cause I saw an article in OK magazine at the checkout stand with the title "Robert got Kristen pregnant". *facepalm* Wtf, aren't there rules? It was obviously a joke, but maybe he didn't actually say the words "just kidding" so they can print it as truth. That's pretty pathetic yet hilarious.


message 33: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments Ashley, I saw the same cover and coudln't believe my eyes! Then my friend told me that Rob said the same thing during the interview so I breathed a sigh of relief. What is Water for Elephants about?


message 35: by Heather (new)

Heather | 243 comments Hmmm, OK, that does sound good. I'll check the library to see if they have it or if they can order it.
