Yesterday we reported on the many upcoming films you can see Robert Pattinson in prior to New Moon...

But “Parts Per Billion” is no longer one of them! Word on la calle is that he pulled out of the eagerly anticipated indie film set to begin shooting in Los Angeles this month. Although co-star/producer, Rosario Dawson had expressed enthusiasm about working with the Twilight heartthrob as recently as December 16, a representative for R. Patz confirmed that he has dumped the flick.

His agent, Nicholas Frenkel, had this to say:

Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on ‘New Moon’ haven’t left enough time for Robert to work on ‘Parts per Billion’ in the first quarter of this year.

Hmm, ditching Rosario when New Moon doesn’t start shooting until March sounds a lil loco, no? Maybe they weren’t showing him the money. What do you think? [MTV News]

One of the most pleasant surprises of the Twilight blockbuster had to be…

Alice Cullen. She’s quirky, cute and can break your neck in a bat of an eye. Recently, MTV News caught-up with actress Ashley Greene to discuss her role in the next installment New Moon and how she feels about Catherine Hardwicke’s departure. She had this to say about the prospect of working with the replacement Chris Weitz:

I’m excited to work with him, because obviously he’s worked with CGI before, and he’s very familiar with it. It’ll be good.

So you thought that our Twilight coverage was going to stop when the movie came out huh??

WRONG! There is still so much left to devour about the series! Just ask Andrew Sims, Laura Thompson, Matt Britton, and Elysa Montfort - creators of the popular podcast ‘Imprint.’ These two couples have been discussing the latest developments in the Twilight fandom, along with exceptional literary analysis since July. Who knew Twilight was so profound (i.e. the genesis quote at the beginning of chapter one)??

What we love about this podcast: You get to hear a male perspective on the phenomena. Apparently, Andrew and Matt were turned on to the series from their girlfriend’s swooning, and were forced to learn more. They were intrigued enough to dissect the hype every month, or whenever they darn well feel like it via iTunes.

Are you sad Catherine Hardwicke isn’t directing the next installment? What do you think having a male director this go round will mean? Find out more on the New Moon chisme on Imprint, Episode 10. [Twilight Source]

The first step to curing addiction is admitting you have a problem…

Too bad Twilighters are an all or nothing kind of crowd! Rosario Dawson has officially been bitten by the vampire phenomenon, which continues to fly off book shelves across the nation. We all know the first sign to converting to the Twilight clan is finding impossible to put the book down! The “Seven Pounds” actress admits to spending 10 hours straight on the best seller, and even confesses to ditching quality time with her father for the Edward and Bella romance.

Rosario reveals:

I just read the first book, it’s ridiculous, it’s like crack cocaine…I actually made a vow to myself not to buy the second, third and fourth book until Thursday, because that’s when I’ll be done with all this press, and I’ll be able to read over Christmas vacation.

Read up girl! It’s about time she gets with the program. Question is, did her future “Parts Per Billion” co-star Robert Pattinson put her on to the literally gateway? [People]

Robert Pattinson knows how to transfix Kristen Stewart with his sharp vampiro ways…

Pero ahora Twilight’s leading man is satisfying his big-time Hollywood craving by starring opposite Rosario Dawson in the new film “Parts Per Billion.” According to MTV News, Robert and Rosario are crossing paths in the film directed by newbie, Brian Horiuchi. Despite our suspicions, Pattinson and our bella brunette will never hook-up in the film (yep, there is no reason to freak Edward lovers!).

Rosario recently gave us the lowdown:

I don’t have a relationship to him in the film. So we never meet. But we’re all within the same group of people, and the same city of people, that are responding to a life-threatening situation.

We are glad she straighten that up really quick! Robert will shoot the new película before he jumps into the “New Moon” script. The film is slated to be released in late 2009/early 2010. Will this jumpoff have you racing to the theaters? [MTV News]

Don’t freak out Twilighters! The vampire sequel “New Moon” is definitely coming to the big screen…

But newly famed director Catherine Hardwicke won’t be calling the shots. New Moon is living by it’s name by bringing in new blood. “Deadline Hollywood” confirmed that Hardwicke will not be directing the latest installment of the Twilight saga. (Gasp!)

While she claims it is because of schelduling conflicts, we find that hard to believe. Odd, since she already reported to MTV how she would make werewolves come to life for this movie. We can’t help but think it might have something to do with all the negative press the film received despite opening with staggering numbers. Que tu piensas?? [MTV News]

Kristen Stewart has been receiving extra leading-lady credit since the Twilight blockbuster madness hit theaters…

The overwhelming response to her enchanting role as Bella Swan has movie offers pounding at la puerta with full-force. The bella brunette will star in the movie, The Runaways which will chronicle the rise and fall of the first successful all-girl band. Kristen’s latest role will have her digging into her roquera spirit as the hardcore pioneer Joan Jett.

The band was initially seen as a novelty act, something that could be easily marketed as “jailbait on the run” dressed in leather and lingerie. However, the girls were all serious and skilled musicians who made their mark on the punk-rock scene and became hugely influential. The film is expected to begin shooting in early 2009 and will work around Stewart’s commitment to New Moon, the Twilight sequel that also plans to shoot early next year.

Can you picture our Bella as a rockstar? [MTV News]

So much for the Camilla Belle rumor! We just want to scream it from a mountain top…

Or perhaps even treetops. Twilight is finally out in theaters nationwide! Woo hoo!

To celebrate the year-long anticipation of the romantic-fantasy thriller, we got more chisme regarding leading man Robert Pattinson and his love life. Or as he would have us believe, the lack thereof. Guess that’s the huge distinction between Edward and Rob. If you are Edward you kiss the new girl in school, have great hair despite the rainy weather and sport a super chic pea-coat. As for real-life Rob, umm not so much.

When asked if he makes off-screen damsels gasp for air when making out he gave a troubled look and said:

I can’t really remember, I haven’t kissed anybody in ages. It’s funny you would have thought that doing this movie where you are supposed to be an ‘attractive’ guy would open up the floodgates…but it has the converse affect. Everyone says “oh everyone must be throwing themselves at you.” No, no, throw yourselves at me!

Hold up! Wasn’t Camilla Belle rumored to have the “Lovebug” for Joe Jonas? Prepare yourselves because this love triangle is going to be interesting…

According to our spies at MTV News, Camilla was caught running the red carpet dateless and flirting with on-screen vampire Robert Pattinson at the L.A. premiere of Twilight. Just days before the actress escaped on a Mexican mini-vacation with Joe, the Brazilian brunette was photographed with a blushing Robert. Eye spies also reveal that the two ‘friends’ were spotted hanging out at the flick’s afterparty throughout la noche.

Oh snap! This chica has got her pimpin’ skills on check, but what will Joe say about all the chisme? [MTV News, Latina]
