Twilight Saga auction to celebrate Eclipse anniversary

A host of ‘Twilight Saga’ memorabilia is going up for auction to celebrate 10 years since ‘Eclipse’ was released.

Around 600 items will be available for purchase from Prop Store with prices starting at just $50 and no reserve amounts placed on the pieces from the hit film franchise, including a baseball jersey worn by Robert Pattinson’s character Edward Cullen.

A blue awakening dress donned by Kristen Stewart’s alter-ego Bella Swan in ‘The Twilight Saga’ series is also up for sale, as is her high school diploma and a hooded jacket.

A statement on website Prop Store read: "On the 10-year anniversary of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE, Prop Store and Summit Entertainment are proud to present an online auction of original props and costumes from THE TWILIGHT SAGA.

"Don’t let the sun set on your chance to take home a piece of the timeless romance."

One piece fans of Edward and Bella might be particularly keen to get their hands on in the online auction, which kick offs on Monday (06.11.17) and runs until November 17, is the pair’s wedding announcement card.

‘Eclipse’, the third novel in the ‘Twilight Saga’ by Stephenie Meyer, was released in August 2007 but the movie version of the book didn’t drop until July 2010.

The original ‘Twilight’ movie was released on December 3, 2008, and was followed by a further four motion pictures culminating in 2012’s ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2’.

As well as their characters being romantically involved, Robert and Kristen dated but split in 2012 after she was spotted getting affectionate with her ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ director Rupert Sanders.

She said in a statement afterwards: "I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry."

Robert Pattinson ‘still loves’ FKA Twigs

Robert Pattinson "still loves" FKA Twigs, despite splitting from her earlier this month.

The 31-year-old actor parted from his musician girlfriend Рand rumoured fianc̩e Рearlier this month after sources claimed the pair had "drifted" apart, but insiders now believe a reconciliation could be on the cards as the star is struggling to move on.

A source told People magazine: "They did break up. It was very recent. He is on a press tour and she is working on her new album. And I think it’s timing. They’ve been all over the place. They have not seen each other in probably two months. It wasn’t vicious.

"I think they will eventually get back together. He still loves her and I think that’s the girl he wants to marry. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that they could get back together and it’s more like they are taking a break. It’s not like he asked for the ring. She still has it."

The news comes after it was previously reported that their split came as Robert was "tired" of being unable to spend time with his beau.

An insider said: "They were almost inseparable for their first two years together. But in recent months they have really started to drift apart and have been spending less and less time together.

"Rob is tired of it, has called off their engagement and told friends they have split. With so much ­history between them, though, there are still strong feelings there. It’s a difficult situation but things have become tough between them for some time and they both know they were no longer working as a couple."

The ‘Twilight’ actor and the singer, 29, had been dating since 2014, and rumours of an engagement between the couple had been circulating since 2015, when rapper T-Pain let the news slip.

Neither Robert or the ‘Two Weeks’ singer – whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett – had confirmed the speculation, but Robert did hint at the news in July this year.

When asked if he was in fact engaged to the beauty, he said: "Yeah, kind of."

Robert Pattinson split from FKA Twigs?

Robert Pattinson has reportedly split from FKA Twigs.

The 31-year-old actor is believed to have parted ways from his musician girlfriend Рand rumoured fianc̩e Рwhom he had been dating since 2014, as sources say the pair had begun to "drift apart" in recent months.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "They were almost inseparable for their first two years together. But in recent months they have really started to drift apart and have been spending less and less time together.

"Rob is tired of it, has called off their engagement and told friends they have split. With so much ­history between them, though, there are still strong feelings there. It’s a difficult situation but things have become tough between them for some time and they both know they were no longer working as a couple."

The report may come as a shock to fans of the couple, as in July the ‘Twilight’ star seemingly confirmed speculation that he was in fact engaged to the ‘Two Weeks’ singer, which had been circulating since T-Pain let the news slip in 2015.

When asked if he had popped the question to the 29-year-old beauty, Robert said: "Yeah, kind of."

The ‘Remember Me’ actor also addressed his somewhat secretive relationship with the singer, as he revealed he keeps his love life under wraps because he’s worried about "crazy" fans who believe his romance is a "conspiracy".

He said: "It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world, because you want to be able to do that [show PDA], but to get kind of stuck in a position where, like, you have to make the decision … Do you want to let, kind of, crazy people in, because for whatever reason with ‘Twilight’, there’s like, a crack troop of crazies who think every decision you’re making is creating some kind of conspiracy. And so you kind of think, to protect it, I want to create a big boundary between it, but then it makes it difficult for your actual relationship."

Robert Pattinson got car wash job

Robert Pattinson worked in a car wash last year.

The 31-year-old actor underwent a dramatic transformation to play bank robber Constantine ‘Connie’ Nikas in his latest movie ‘Good Time’ and he was delighted that he was able to go around completely undetected, even in really busy parts of New York.

He said: "I stayed in character for several days and got a job at a car wash. I wanted to change myself so that people would not be able to recognize me for the whole shoot. And it worked.

"We were filming in a packed subway at rush hour; I was directed by text message, and no one could tell we were making a movie. Not one person took a cell-phone picture, which would have ruined the whole thing. It was great to not be recognized."

The ‘Twilight Saga’ actor shot to fame playing Cedric Diggory in the ‘Harry Potter’ movies, and he admitted the main reason he got the part was because the casting director felt "guilty" that he’d been cut from his first role, in the movie ‘Vanity Fair’.

And despite his initial disappointment at ending up on the cutting room floor, Robert now thinks things turned out for the best.

Speaking to the Royals issue of W magazine, he recalled: "When I was 15 or 16, I was cast as Reese Witherspoon’s son in the film ‘Vanity Fair’. I went to the screening, and no one had informed me that I had been cut from the film.

"But the casting director felt so guilty that she gave me a first run at the part of Cedric in ‘Harry Potter’, which I booked. So, in the end, I was quite glad to have been cut from ‘Vanity Fair’."

Robert Pattinson lived with Dustin Diamond

Robert Pattinson used to live with Dustin Diamond.

The 31-year-old actor shared an apartment with the former ‘Saved by the Bell’ actor, who played Screech in the ’90s TV series, and the 40-year-old comedian was the first person to introduce the ‘Twilight’ star to microwaveable pastry snacks Hot Pockets.

He said: "I was with Screech, Dustin Diamond. I loved it. I really miss it. Dustin was the first person to introduce me to Hot Pockets."

Robert has lived in Los Angeles for around nine years and when he first arrived he met talk show host Ryan Seacrest.

Speaking on ‘On Air With Ryan Seacrest’, he added: "I met you when I literally had first moved there. So that was the first time I met you I think.

"When I met you I was still living in the Oakwood apartments."

But Robert wasn’t the only star to live next to a ‘Saved by the Bell’ actor as the 42-year-old TV presenter revealed he was housed opposite Mario Lopez, who played Slater in the show.

He said: "We may have talked about it but when I first moved here, I lived in the apartments just down the street from the Oakwoods and guess who lived across the street from me?

"Mario Lopez! Slater! So all of us start with the ‘Saved by the Bell’ cast and we try and grow from there."

Robert’s fame increased when he starred as vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight’ film franchise, but he has admitted he found it tough being in the spotlight at first.

He recently said: "As soon as I saw a tail, I would just disappear again. It worked after a while. They’re just like, ‘Oh, the guy is just a hassle.’ There are ways to disappear, like, fairly easily. But you have to be living a quite strange life. It just involves effort, and most people can’t really be bothered to put the effort in."

Robert Pattinson’s fishy diet

Robert Pattinson eats "nothing but tuna out of little cans" when he needs to lose weight.

The 31-year-old actor deliberately didn’t take care of his appearance while shooting ‘Good Time’ – in which he plays robber Connie Nikas alongside the film’s co-director Benny Safdie as his younger brother Nick – and a limited diet plays a part in that.

He said: "[I walked around the city] way more and way more brazenly. Part of it is that if you look really dirty [and have greasy skin]… That was the main thing. When we realised the pockmarked thing …Literally, that was almost an immediate transformation.

"I ate nothing but tuna. Out of little cans. I have this unhealthy thing where when I’m trying to lose weight I only eat tuna. And at the same time, I thought, It’s kind of healthy, I’ll eat tuna."

And the British star refused to have any visitors because he was living in squalor and his apartment spelled like "rotting fish".

Co-director Josh Safdie said: "It was pretty great. He stayed in a basement apartment a few blocks from my house and I remember going over to his place and it was just like a bombshell had gone off."

Robert laughed: "I didn’t let anybody visit me. And I didn’t take the trash out. So the entire place just smelled like rotting fish. Filth everywhere."

Asked if that’s how he usually lives, he told New York magazine: "If I am left to my own devices."

The ‘Twilight Saga’ star had reached out to the directors to work with them, and they decided to craft a movie in which he could play a criminal because of his "alien" good looks.

Josh explained: "I’ll say one last thing about Rob and his face. Glenn O’Brien, may he rest in peace, wrote this awesome piece years ago about how the American criminal had a very specific look to him. And it’s a look which has since been co-opted by the fashion industry — this idea of the criminal as uniquely good-looking, with a charm they used to their benefit …

"Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez. And we’re not going to sit here and pretend he’s not a good-looking guy; he’s uniquely good-looking. Sometimes you look like an alien."

Robert quipped:I’ll take it."

PETA praises Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson has been praised by PETA for refusing to perform a sex act on a dog for his latest movie ‘Good Time’.

The 31-year-old actor appears as a New York criminal in the heist thriller and Robert recently revealed he was asked by one of the directors to give the dog a hand job for a scene but he refused.

Speaking on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, Pattinson said: "He thinks he has control over animals and stuff.

"There’s this one scene we shot where basically a drug dealer bursts in to the room and I was sleeping with the dog and basically giving the dog a hand job.

"One half of the directing duo told me to just do it for real and don’t be a pussy."

And PETA has praised Robert’s stance, with Senior Vice President Lisa Lange saying in a statement: "PETA depends on actors and crew members to come forward when they see mistreatment, whether it involves a dog who is being forced into churning water on the set of ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ or an A-list actor who is being asked to molest his canine co-star.

"Robert Pattinson is our kind of guy (and everyone’s who has a heart) for refusing to masturbate a dog – which is like child molestation – and for talking about it so that the public can see that once again animal trainers’ top priority is money and animals’ interests and well-being are often ignored. PETA is currently investigating whether the law was broken in this instance."

Robert opted to use a fake dog penis for the scene but it was eventually cut from the film.

‘Good Time’ was directed by Ben and Joseph Safdie and received a standing ovation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The film follows Constantine (Pattinson) who embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an attempt to get his younger brother out of jail.

Kristen Stewart reveals she’s open-minded about her sex life

Kristen Stewart wants to try different sexual exploits.

The 27-year-old actress is currently dating model Stella Maxwell, but Kristen remains open-minded when it comes to her love life and has admitted she could easily see herself falling for a man in the future.

She explained: "Some people know they like grilled cheese and they’ll eat it every day for the rest of their lives.

"I want to try everything. If I have grilled cheese once I’m like, ‘That was cool, what’s next?’"

The Hollywood actress’ most famous romance was with her former ‘Twilight’ co-star Robert Pattinson.

And although their relationship ended in acrimonious circumstances, Kristen has insisted her love for Robert, 31, was totally authentic.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she shared: "I’ve been deeply in love with everyone I’ve dated. Did you think I was faking it?"

Kristen has since admitted to being bisexual, and has insisted she’s never felt confused by her own identity.

She said: "I’ve always embraced a duality. And really, truly, believed in it and never felt confused or struggling. I just didn’t like getting made fun of."

Kristen was bullied at school when she dressed like a boy and she confessed the criticism from her classmates made her feel miserable.

The ‘Personal Shopper’ star explained: "Not all little girls are that way. And it really hurt my feelings, like badly. I remember being in the sixth grade [aged 11] and [people would say] ‘Kristen looks like a man. You’re a boy’, or whatever, and I was so offended, horrified and embarrassed.

"Now I look back on it and I’m like, ‘Girl, be proud of that!’"

Meanwhile, Kristen also admitted she dislikes having to explain her love life to other people.

She said: "There’s this idea that you’re beholden in some way, and I resent that.

"And it comes across like I’m ungrateful or something but, actually, I just find it weird to talk to the general public as a whole."

Robert Pattinson was almost fired from Twilight for not smiling

Robert Pattinson was threatened he’d be fired if he didn’t smile in ‘Twilight’.

The 31-year-old actor portrayed Edward Cullen in the fantasy franchise, which was released in 2008, and the star has revealed he took the role far too seriously to a point the production team were close to sacking him and casting another star in his place.

Speaking about his breakout role, which saw him star alongside his former girlfriend Kristen Stewart, to Howard Stern on his Sirius XM radio show, he said: "If you’re going into a relationship with someone, the way to make it really intense is if you can barely talk to each other, you can barely touch each other, it’s incredibly serious all the time.

"That’s what teenage relationships are. But everyone kind of wanted it to be, like, ‘No, they should just be, like, happy and having fun. That’s what people want.’

"I thought I was pretty safe. They [his agents] flew up and were like, ‘You have to do the opposite of what you’re doing now or you’re going to get fired today.’"

The dark-haired heartthrob – who is currently dating FKA Twigs – was given a "compromise" and was forced to read through author Stephenie Meyer’s novels, which the franchise is based on, and highlight in different colours every time the character smiled or frowned to help him with his role and keep the job.

Robert continued: "I was probably going a little too miserable, so there was some kind of compromise made."

And the London-born star has made it known he took Valium to help him calm his nerves before he went into his first audition for the movie, but the medication only made him sleepy.

He explained: "I couldn’t barely keep my eyes open when I talked to the producers."

Robert Pattinson kicked out of school for selling porn magazines

Robert Pattinson was kicked out of school for reselling porn magazines.

The ‘Twilight’ star has confessed to nicking dirty magazines from his local shop and selling them on to his fellow students in his school days, leading him to be kicked out of the "very strict" institution.

He said: "I was stealing porno magazines and selling them at school. No one knew at all what to do with them, though … I’d sell them for a lot of money.

"I used to go in [the store] and take, like, one or two, and then put them in my bag. I was in my school uniform when I was doing it, and it was kind of risky. At the end, I got so cocky that I would take the entire rack."

However, his cockiness didn’t get him very far and he was soon ratted out.

He recalled to Howard Stern: "I remember the guy who worked in the store shouting, like, ‘Hey!’ and then my two friends ran off, and I turned around, like, ‘What?’ I walked back up to him. I hadn’t zipped up my bag. This guy is pulling out all these porno magazines – and it was when porn used to have, like, VHS tapes in the plastic sheet with it – and he’s pulling all these things out, and I was sitting there humiliated with all the old people looking at me disgusted.

"I was like, ‘Don’t call the cops, call my parents,’ and I was trying to make up a lie of where I lived … I was terrible. Basically, a couple of days later, everything fell down. Basically, every single one of my friends snitched on me."
