Both Anna Kendrick and Kristen were at the BAFTA Awards in London.

And guess what else?!  Robert Pattinson was also present – although the two were posing separately on the red carpet AND partying after BAFTA, together (updated 3/3/10)

E! News confirms some bad news for us Pattinson fans…We’ve got some good and some bad news today for Robert Pattinson fans.

We’ve unfortunately officially confirmed that Rob will not be spending too much time stateside to promote his upcoming flick Remember Me.

The reason?  Because he’s filming Bel Ami with Uma Thurman, etc….booooo!

So what’s new?  —> Taylor is starring in the new Stretch Armstrong 3-D!  Do you know who Stretch is?  Probably not cause most of you weren’t even born in the 80’s!  So here’s a side-by-side pic.  So I say yes to the tighty whities…but no to the orange fake tan.  Can’t wait to SEE how this one turns out.

Here’s the scoop from E!

“He will soon embody Hasbro’s popular ’80s toy in Universal’s adaptation of Stretch Armstrong. The movie, to be produced by Brian Grazer, will be released in 2012 in 3-D. The studio has yet to hire a director for the movie, but Steve Oedekerk (Bruce Almighty) has written the script. Universal made the announcement late Friday night along with the news that they will push back their other big Hasbro property Battleship, from director Peter Berg, from its original July 2011 release to Memorial Day weekend 2012 to give the filmmaker more time to finish the large-scale project”

If this is true, hurrah for some – including the Twilight franchise people…so why the hesitation in going public?

After filming Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and the intensity of the Bella and Edward … maybe this is a love that will last?!  Or will it fizzle as soon as he steps into the sun?  Or when Kristen (who has said she is Bella), realizes she’s Kristen?  Either way, we are happy for the couple – now show us the love.

Here are the OK! Magazine highlights:

The couple have decided to openly date when they return to film the fourth movie, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, later this year.

A source said: “Rob and Kristen are very happy, and everyone that’s part of the franchise is so happy for them. They don’t feel the need to hide it anymore.”

In this same article, Emilie de Ravin, Rob’s newest co-star in the upcoming “Remember Me” also claims to have excellent chemistry with Rob.  Clearly Robert Pattinson has got something the ladies like…

Illustrated by Korean artist Young Kim with input from Meyer on every panel, the first volume of Twilight: the Graphic Novel will be published on 16 March. Its publisher said the black and white title, with colour interspersed throughout, would combine “a rare fusion of Asian and western comic techniques”.

The cover shows human teenager Bella Swan sprawled on the grass – an image from the dream that first inspired Meyer to write the novel. “In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire,” she has said. “I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. I was so intrigued by the nameless couple’s story that I hated the idea of forgetting it; it was the kind of dream that makes you want to call your friend and bore her with a detailed description.”

The American author said yesterday that Kim’s graphic interpretation of her characters and settings was “very close” to what she was imagining while writing the series. “It takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.”

Meyer’s Twilight saga – Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn – has sold 85m copies worldwide. Its UK publisher Little, Brown said it had sold more than a million copies of each novel in the series in Britain alone. “I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever,” Meyer told EW. “I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.”

Word from E!, which will also be airing the telethon on their network, is that Rob will present performances by Jay-Z and Bono.

There’s been no official announcement, but a press release is supposed to go out today.

Performers from the US will include Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Shakira and Bruce Springsteen.

Other stars helping out and manning the phone banks may include: Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Brad Pitt, Anna Kendrick, Sandra Bullock, Zac Efron, Bradley Cooper, Renée Zellweger, Chris Pine, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Colin Farrell, Jon Hamm, Gabby Sidibe and Emily Blunt.

Why do we have a feeling that Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart will be easily recruited as well?

If those three can’t get young people to contribute to this worthy cause, no one can.

“Hope for Haiti” will air Friday, Jan. 22 from 8 to 10 P.M. on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, The CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, E! and CMT.

Second of all, New Moon star Kristen Stewart is up against British actor Nicholas Hoult and actress Carey Mulligan for the 2010 Bafta Rising Star Award.

The Bafta is the British Academy of Film and Televsion Arts. Is this UK acknowledgement a subtle salut to the woman who they are willing to surrender their Robert Pattinson? …sorry carried away there.

At any rate, great job Kristen!!
Here’s a rundown and photo of her competition, you can vote for your favorite online at Bafta.

The 19-year-old actress is best known for her role as Bella Swan in the hit Twilight saga flicks and is up against Mulligan, who stars in An Education.

“Twilight: New Moon” takes home the following 36th Annual People’s Choice Awards:

• Favorite Movie
• Favorite Franchise
• Favorite On-Screen Team categories
• Favorite Breakout Movie Actor – TAYLOR LAUTNER

Although Taylor decided to skip the red carpet (supposedly to avoid a certain X) - PopSugar done got some backstage pics of a verra handsome Mr. Lautner!  (Eat your heart out Ms. X – Taylor Swift).

Congrats again to the fabulous Team Twilight … and to all you wonderfully obsessive (yes, I resemble that remark) fans that nabbed us the win(s).

The equation for breakthrough star is quite simple: one part charisma, two parts talent and just a whole lot of luck. (Well, our formula might not be precise but you get the picture.) And the breakout performer must connect with an audience with a role that leaps off the screen.

2009 was a great year for breakout stars; here’s our list of actors for whom 2009 will be just the beginning of a long, fruitful career.

7. Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick has a lot going for her. She co-stars in that hit film series ’Twilight,’ and just snagged a National Board of Review prize for her naively overconfident, quick-witted turn as a newbie firing-agent in Jason Reitman’s ’Up in the Air.’ At only 24, Kendrick has proved to be a mighty talent in both comedy and drama, garnering a heap of Oscar buzz going toe-to-toe with George Clooney in ‘Air.’
Next Up: Edgar Wright’s ’Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’and, of course, reprising her role as Jessica in ’The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

---

1. Taylor Lautner
Royally buffing up as the shapeshifting werewolf Jacob Black in the sequel ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon,’ Taylor Lautner redefines teenage hunk in his breakout role. Graduating from Bella’s long-haired admirer in the first film, Lautner is able to flex his muscles, quite literally, with a much larger, brooding part in the second vampire flick. There is a reason why Taylor beat out the rest of the notable names on this list for the top spot: sheer box office brawn. The Twihards have spoken: Team Jacob all the way — well, for now at least.
Next Up: Reprising his role as Jacob Black in ’The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.’
