Dear Ted:
You’ve said that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are both aware of each other’s Vices. Is that one of the things they like about each other? Could it be that’s part of the attraction between them?
—R/K fan

Dear Vicey Valentines:
Definitely. We all know that Robsten aren’t the most conventional couple, but they definitely have some very similar qualities, and that’s why they work so well. Plus, it’s no secret that Kristen loves her love on the rebel side.

“Bel Ami” was not announced amongst this list.

@TIFF_NET

Lots more film announcements to come! Weekly announcements until August 23. #TIFF11

Just like @larry411 explained to us leading up to the announcements today, if “Bel Ami” wasn’t announced today, it doesn’t mean it will not be show at the  TIFF. We will have to wait and see!

Updated: To put “Bel Ami’s chances of being announced in perspective, @larry411 tweeted this fact:

@spunk_ransom There are about 220 more movies to be announced over the next 4 weeks.

Twilight/Edward mention begins around 10:13…

It seems inconceivable that anyone could underestimate the ardor of Twilight fans, particular those dedicated dozens who camped out overnight to get into yesterday’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn panel at Comic-Con. And yet, director Bill Condon swore to Vulture yesterday that he was caught off-guard.

“I was surprised by all the screams,” he told us earnestly. “I was!”

Had Condon learned nothing from when Chris Weitz brought New Moon to Comic-Con two years ago? It was a panel so shriek-filled that journalists suffering from sudden hearing loss could have had grounds for a class-action lawsuit. “Oh, I heard,” Condon said, remembering. “Because Jacob took his shirt off for the first time?” He chuckled. “It was wild, right?”

It was, but “wild” doesn’t even begin to cover the twists in the Twilight installment that Condon is directing, which features the year’s most anticipated sex scene, a bloody vampire-baby birth, and an unlikely love story between a teenage wolf-boy and a newborn. Condon is cognizant of the pressure, especially when it comes to the coupling of Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart).

“You can play with expectations, and in terms of the lovemaking, that’s what I tried to do a little bit,” he told Vulture. “You think you might see something, and then you get something else. I can’t describe it any better than that because I don’t want to give it away now, but the fact that there is such anticipation can actually let you play with it. And let’s face it, it’s the most intimate thing, and it all comes down to the relationship between the actors and the chemistry they have. I couldn’t be luckier than to have Kristen and Rob, who are just so comfortable with each other and are able to explore that.”

Sure, sure … but what about Bella’s birthing sequence, where vampires have to gnaw the baby out of her belly? “It’s not hard to shoot,” Condon insisted. “You still depict the actions, it’s just a question of how explicit you are in showing them.”

And what of the scene where Taylor Lautner’s Jacob suddenly “imprints” on said vamp-baby, meaning they’re destined to fall in love? “I think what you have to go for is the spiritual element, more than anything else,” said Condon. “I don’t know that ‘weird’ is the right thing to say, but it is a completely original idea. There’s no question that you have to remind people that this reflects Jacob’s magical nature, and not just Jake, the guy who grew up on the reservation. Imprinting is not something you or I could do.”

We asked Condon whether the pressure of adapting Twilight was anything like what he felt when making Dreamgirls, and he laughed.

“That’s interesting. Wow. I never thought of that! In that case, it was kind of this doubled thing where people loved The Supremes, and people also loved the original production in 1981, so you kind of had to honor both of those as well as let it be its own thing. This is different, I guess, because it’s about a book as opposed to another thing that existed in dramatic form. But you’re right, the expectations are so specific and there’s so much passion. Inevitably, you just have to make it in the way that’s best, and there will always be people who don’t agree.” He paused, still earnest. “Right?”

For anyone like me — unlucky enough to be stuck at home instead of going to San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend — you have no doubt heard whispers about some of the fast and furious “Twilight” insanity that went down there.

Well, I’ve been glued to my computer, pressing refresh on my browser precisely ever 45 seconds (any sooner would just be weird and obessessive), looking for the latest updates.

While it cannot compare to actually being there, here, from my vantage point, are the top seven “Twilight-related” things that you and I missed at Comic-Con. Let’s not let it happen again (hear me, NextMovie editors?).

Fans began lining up to get into the “Twilight” Comic-Con panel as early as three days in advance. In related news, I began dropping to my knees and bowing in respect to those fans also three days in advance. That is hardcore. Like the opposite of NWA-hardcore, but still hardcore. Anyway, I should have been there with them, because those Twi-Hards were rewarded with a surprise visit from Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Julia Jones and Boo Boo Stewart (Boo Boo!).

Showing a lot of grace for big Hollywood stars, the actors popped up not long after dawn broke, greeted fans for over an hour, signed autographs and posed for photos. Had I been there, I suppose I would’ve had a hard time deciding on whether to spend that hour convincing Nikki to marry me instead of Paul McDonald or proving to Ashley that I’m the next Jonas brother. It’s really hard to say unless you’re there in the moment.

We may have been hoping for clips from Bella’s pregnancy, but that was a little too much to ask for. Those scenes are likely going to be some of the most memorable of the entire “Twilight Saga.” And not to mention all bloody and disgusting (in a beautiful way, I mean).

According the sources, the video that was shown focused primarily on Bella and Edward’s honeymoon and their “about-to-do-the-nasty-for-the-first-time moments.” That, of course, prompted lots and lots shrieking from the excited crowd.

While it will never be as exciting to see those scenes as I imagine it was in that panel room, I don’t miss my ears ringing from the decibel-breaking screamfest. Just because I like “Twilight” does not mean I ever get used to banshee screeches.

The photos that surfaced two weeks ago of Robert Pattinson’s new hairstyle — long and floppy on one side, raggedly buzzed on the other– made him look like some homeless gutter punk. Apparently, the cut is for the trippy thriller “Cosmopolis” that he’s currently filming. In a scene, his character flips out mid-haircut and bolts before the barber is done (we’ve all done it).

Do you think those producers planned to shoot those scenes right before Comic-Con on purpose? I do.

Jerks.

Stealing the show away from Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson is nearly an impossible feat, especially at a freaking “Twilight” panel. However, there are multiple reports of a “toe-headed 5-year-old girl” yanking the focus away from the stars when she asked, “Did you like having the baby with Bella?,” then staring Pattinson down “like she was a child from the corn.”

This made the Brit so flustered, he actually called out the awkwardness by saying, “The way you’re looking makes it seem like you’re asking something else.” Sounds classic. Hollywood needs to put those two in a movie, stat!

Coco from Robert Pattinson Profile reported to us,

Water for Elephants,the DVD, is due out August 24 in Italy, but 20th Century Fox has reported to us that the date has not yet been confirmed.

Thank you Coco for the update for our Italian visitors!

Dear Ted:
I’m impressed by Robert Pattinson’s acting in the Bel Ami trailer. I love him to death, but I didn’t think he wouldn’t be able to pull it off. (Yes, I’m a bad fan.) I have to say, the Twilight cast may have a shot when this is over. They’re all making great decisions with the movies they’ve made so far. What do you think?

Dear World Dominance:
Uh, they have more than a shot, honey. These kids have the world at their fingertips. Some of them can act, some of them can’t, but trust, Twi stars will continue to rule the celeb planet for a long while after Breaking Dawn breaks.

Last week, I put together a list documenting the shocking evolution of Harry Potter‘s Neville Longbottom. Yes, actor Matthew Lewis had gone from a short, thumb of a boy to a grown ass good-looking man in a span of about 10 years. Judging by how many of you read that post, most likely in the privacy of your basement with the dimmer on low, I was not alone in my surprise. You all agreed: Neville Longbottom was hot.

Well… almost all of you. That’s because Kate Spencer, my co-worker and (I thought) friend, turned to the internet to rant and rave about how she didn’t “get” all the fuss about Longbottom. She was, essentially, throwing me under the hot guy bus. (*Also my favorite new sexual position that I just invented.)

In her post, Kate states:

“Let me bust out some realness for you: lots of people stumble through their adolescence as ugly chubsters, only to shed the baby fat and bad teeth and learn how to buy a decent pair of jeans and spend a couple of bucks on a haircut and BOOM! — they become moderately attractive adults. Haven’t we ALL done this? If we’re handing out awards for People Who Look Less Atrocious As Adults Than They Did At 13 then I should take home Grand Prize, with Candace Cameron placing a close second”

See, already we disagree, because if we’re going to talk about people going from ugly kids to hot adults, truly Jerry O’Connell is the King, with Patrick Dempsey coming in a close second. Not to mention my own self, who at 13 looked like the kid from Two and a Half Men.

Kate clearly hates Longbottom. But why? Why would a grown ass woman hate on an up-and-coming awkwardly handsome Brit?

And the it is revealed: Ms. Spencer is a through and through Twihard. She’s a walking Wikipedia of Twilight facts. One of those facts is that, if given the chance, Kate would gladly leave everything behind for even a single night with Robert Pattinson.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I mean if Robert Pattinson stumbled over to me wasted at a bar with his eagle talon hands awkwardly running through the unwashed tresses that so many empty lockets long for (code for underage sex), I wouldn’t not talk to him. I mean… sure, his breath is probably the same smell rising from the grave of Arthur Guinness, and yeah, he can open a can of beans with his teeth, but I’m not going to say I’m immune to his face.

That being said, there’s just something so dopey and sweet and showered and kempt about Longbottom that I simply can’t help but loving him from afar. (I’m sitting on a branch outside of his bedroom with 14 Luna bars and binoculars around my neck.) Fighting words indeed.

Now, while I call my own private security guard to protect me for the next few hundred years given my anti-VILF stance, I leave it to you, commenters, to debate the hotness of these two British men that none of us will ever date. It’s a dilemma I like to call WILF vs. VILF (Wizard I’d Like To F*ck vs. Vampire I’d Like To F*ck.) Have a great time.

Um…. Edward….? No. lol

Dear Ted:
I know this is a crazy idea, but do you think you could just promise to tell us if Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart break up instead of answering the question about whether or not they did every week? I don’t mind seeing their names pop up mostly ‘cause I love them both, but I figured it might make your job a little easier.

Dear Compassionate Soul:
You are such a doll to suggest, and I’ll think on it for sure. But the longer I don’t say anything, the more the goss’ grows and grows on this site. Of course, I’ll tell you if Robsten are no longer, but in the meantime, most Twi-hards need some serious reassuring or these boards go insane. Trust me on this one.
