Twilight Scribe Accused Of Plagiarising Other Vampire Novel
6:48PM the cajun boy | Attorneys for an author named Jordan Scott have fired off a cease and desist letter to Hatchette Book Group, claiming that Breaking Down, the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, ripped off major storylines from Scott’s book, The Nocturne. More »
‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Reveals Six-Week Hair-Washing Strike
8:10AM Kyle Buchanan | Twilight star Robert Pattinson is our kind of teen idol: the sort of guy who calls his chest hair “early pubes” and stumbles out of Crown Bar at 1:45 am, unshaven, bleary-eyed and slurring. Most young girls prefer their locker-room pinups to be clean and unthreatening, but Pattinson doesn’t quite fit that mold, and at an appearance last night in New York (where the actor was greeted with Beatles-worthy shrieking), he seemed determined to push his young fans’ tolerance of the scruffy, Silver Lake aesthetic as far as it would go: More »
‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Wonders Why You’re So Afraid of His Chest Hair
4:45AM Defamer Hollywood | It was the Entertainment Weekly cover that forever scarred Livejournal: a vivid tableau of Twilight actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, the former barechested enough to expose millions of teenage girls to their first confusing glimpse of chest hair. Though excitement for the cinematic adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novel had been building to a crescendo, one actor’s decision not to wax could have destroyed everything; fortunately, the audience’s distaste for even more hirsute werewolves kept fans firmly on Pattinson’s side. Still, when we spied the actor on the red carpet for the VMAs yesterday, we knew we had to settle Chesthairgate (part two!) once and for all. Also, two bonus bits: Pattinson’s thoughts on the latest, controversial Twilight installment and messy vampire babies! What more do you need to sink your teeth into?

‘Twilight’ May Look Sexy On-Screen, But The Only Action On-Set Involved ‘Runny Noses’ And ‘Hail Globs’
11:10AM Molly Friedman | As we noted last week, the highly anticipated Twilight franchise appears to be far steamier and sexier than the books’ tween fans may have expected. And a profile on the film in yesterday’s LAT suggests the series’ author Stephenie Meyer may be just as surprised. Described by the article’s author as “chaste,” the Mormon mother of three sounds like the near opposite of director and “troubled-teen expert” Catherine Hardwicke. But as the article reveals, no matter how hot and bothered we felt after watching the teaser trailer, the actual action on set wasn’t putting any of its gorgeous cast members in the mood: Slathered in pale vampire makeup with alternating doses of sun, rain and “hail globs the size of golf balls,” actors huddle in a heated ‘fire tent’ and stuff Kleenex to their cold, runny noses; they exchange rubber boots for Adidas just before the cameras roll.
