The Twilight series may be enjoying massive commercial success and enjoy a rabidly devotional cult, but there’s still one thing it’s failed to achieve: prestige! According to some hot gossip from EW, Summit Entertainment is trying to rope an Oscar-nominated director to classy up their adaptation of the final book, Breaking Dawn, which will likely be split into two movies. Among those mentioned were Milk director Gus Van Sant, Lost In Translation’s Sofia Coppola and Showgirls‘ Bill Condon, with Van Sant confirming he had been contacted.

Anyone who’s read (or even just read about) the final Twilight novel knows how far it steps from the Pacific Northwest vamp romance of the first book, with one heck of a birthing scene in store for Kristen Stewart and some seriously creepazoid activity from Taylor Lautner’s Jacob. Judging from their decision to contact Coppola and Condon rather than hailed horror-heads like David Cronenberg or David Lynch (both of whom have respectively delivered monster babies in The Fly and Eraserhead), the producers may be looking for someone who can make this gothic garishness as pretty as possible…and not scare away those who came for romance. With shooting planned for this Fall, it shouldn’t be long before we get a name.

Finally, we’ve figured out what makes Kristen Stewart smile! The somber starlet, who spends most of her time scowling at photographers, was all smiles as she was mobbed at New York’s JFK airport last night as she watched paparazzi fall while trying to snag a shot. According to Splash News Online, she even cheered “Yes!” and jumped up and down as her enemies toppled before her.

We can’t help but feel Kristen deserves the laugh; after all, the paparazzi is ruthless in stalking her every move, and she’s just a teenager who wants to chain smoke and sulk in private. And surely her fans enjoying seeing her grin once every six months. It’s a win-win for all!

Remember Me trailer after the jump.

Two weeks ago, TheFABLife scored an invite to the Remember Me press day, where we sat down with Robert Pattinson himself to discuss his latest departure from Edward Cullen. As we focused on not fainting in his presence (and yes, RPattz is just as beautiful in person), our ears perked when he raved about his onscreen sister, 11-year-old Ruby Jerins, of “Nurse Jackie.” The interaction between the two of them was undoubtedly our favorite part of the film. When asked how he channeled that chemistry with such a young actress, Pattinson said:

“She did everything; I mean completely. … She’s phenomenal. She’s going to be a massive actress. She’s the best improviser I’ve ever met. … She’s kind of like one of those weird, hyper-intelligent, hyper-mature kids. … She’s so easy to act with, you don’t have to do anything - just look at her. It’s the first time since the day I began acting where I just feel completely unselfconscious, because I could feel that she wasn’t at all and it rubs off on me.”

Quite the high praise from Mr. Pattinson! Is Ruby Dakota 2.0? If so, let’s hope she’s not wailing into a mic whilst donning lingerie four years from now. [Photo: Summit Entertainment]

Yesterday we presented a 10-second teaser of the much-anticipated Eclipse trailer. Here we have 82 more seconds of icy Edward proclaiming his love to Bella, shirtless Jacob doing the same, and Bella torn between two heartthrobs. We can hardly sympathize with Bella’s situation, however, we can all agree it’d be a pain in the neck to have vengeful Victoria out for your blood. Watch the trailer, drool, cry, quiver, repeat. 

It’s heeeere! Summit Entertainment has just released a sneak peek of the official Eclipse teaser trailer to be released tomorrow morning. In just 10 seconds, they appease both Twi-hard teams, with Jacob’s bulging abs and a pillow-talkin’ Edward. 

Check back early tomorrow for an extended glimpse of the third installment of The Twilight Saga.

Having taken in Twilight co-star-with-benefits Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me premiere the day before, Kristen Stewart skipped off to JFK tuesday, looking semi-casual in a sloppy white top and ripped gray pants. It won’t be long before we see her styled up on the red carpet, though—she’ll be presenting at the Oscars this Sunday. Sadly, Pattinson will be too busy filming his next movie to continue the pair’s off-the-record afterparty cuddling in LA. Looks like we’ll be in for another night of Kristen pulling sadfaces.

Think you can handle photos of Twilight lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart without freaking out?! We hung out on the Remember Me red carpet with VH1’s lovely Janell Snowden, and got an eyeful of Robert Pattinson in all his awkward, hair-grabbing glory. We spent Saturday staring at him at the movie’s press junket as well, and can honestly say this: up close and personal, he doesn’t radiate sex as much as he does goofy cuteness. The dude has tiny features (his head seemed like it was the size of a grapefruit), and his humble, self-deprecating nature, while charming, totally comes across in how he carries himself. Don’t get us wrong, we found it totally refreshing, and we’d still do him in a heartbeat. But man, is this one awkward heartthrob.

We were happy that Rob’s cohort in introversion, Kristen Stewart, came out to support him, lurking on the red carpet in mustard-colored pants. If this doesn’t confirm for people that they’re lovers underneath the covers, we don’t know what will. Rob did pal around with co-star Emilie de Ravin on the carpet, but it seemed totally platonic. Her outfit was adorable up close (high five, stylist), and she is teeny-tiny and super sweet.

Not so sweet: the f*cking paparazzi. Holy crap, you guys, we’ve never heard people scream like the photographers did last night. And not just squeals of excitement; these were downright terrifying wails that channeled the voices and spirits of 1000 demons. “ROB! ROBBBBBBB! PUBLICIST, MOVE! WE NEED A SHOT OF ROB!” Yes, the fans were 100 % more polite in their screaming. It’s no wonder Rob and Kristen cower every time someone with a camera steps in their way. We were curled up in a ball on the red carpet, and no one was even trying to take our picture.

Check out more pics from the Remember Me premiere below, and if you have to scream, remember - inside voices only!

Robert Pattinson rolled out of bed this morning to promote his non-vampire flick, Remember Me, on the “Today Show.” The interview is typical RPattz - adorable and soft-spoken - until the end, when Matt Lauer asks about his scandalous Details magazine photo shoot, in which he provocatively poses with naked women. Pattinson giggles and says, “We started off with me naked, and they were like ‘Actually, just forget it.’” Thanks a lot, Details.

Remember Me hits theaters March 12th.

The secrecy around Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s alleged relationship may be coming to an end. Hot after news that Robsten skipped a BAFTA afterparty for some quality alone time, The Sun says Pattinson confirmed their relationship to the tab before heading off into the night with his Twilight co-star. It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. “We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans,” he said. “It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.” The young stars arrived separately and sat apart at the event, where Stewart won the Rising Star Award.

Unless a rep comes dashing out with a denial, this confession should erase any reason to keep these two from cuddling on the red carpet again. It’s a shame Pattinson isn’t scheduled to present alongside Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the Oscars—it’d be the perfect place for a public PDA.

We’d like to get our hands on the invite for the BAFTA Awards. Did some fancy font cause the stars to mistake “Formal” for “Frumpy”? We hope that was reason so many Best Dressed regulars bombed on the fashion front.

Newcomer Carey Mulligan’s floral gown wouldn’t have been terrible if it was kept to a single floor-length layer. French darling Audrey Tautou’s 80s-inspired bubblegum pink frock paired with a red purse and pumps was harsh on the eyes. A pouty Kristen Stewart hid her lust-worthy legs in an unflattering white Chanel gown while unsuccessfully hiding her relationship with Twilight-costar Robert Pattinson. Kate Winslet channeled 1994 in a cut-out black number. Our feelings are anything but Up in the Air about Anna Kendrick’s ill-fitting yellow dress. Overall consensus? Yuck.

Here’s hoping the A-listers step up their game for the Oscars on March 7th. [Photos: Getty Images]
