Dakota Fanning doesn’t want to rush growing up but hopes people will take her more seriously as an actress. The 16-year-old star’s first major big screen role was alongside Sean Penn in I Am Sam when she was just six. Dakota has appeared in a string of hit movies since then and is anxious to continue developing her career.

The starlet recently played rocker Cherie Currie alongside Kristen Stewart in The Runaways and is confident the role proved she isn’t a child anymore.
"When you start out young, people get really attached to who you are at 6 years old," Dakota said in an interview with Marie Claire. "I hope that The Runaways was kind of a moment to be like, 'You know, I'm not that young little girl anymore, but I'm still not all grown up, either.'
“As you get older, there's so much more that you can do in films. I've never wanted to rush that; I've always wanted to do what's right for my age, but as you approach 18, a whole new world opens up to you as an actor, and I really look forward to that."
Dakota and Kristen shared a kiss in one scene of the movie and although the lip lock whipped up a media frenzy, the blonde star insists she didn’t think too much about the experience.
"It's out of the way, and it was with my friend and a girl - no pressure,” Dakota explained. “It was not something Cherie [Currie] and Joan [Jett] ever really spoke about, and that's how it was filmed - as not that big of a deal."
Dakota became good friends with Kristen on the set of The Runaways and the pair got the chance to work together again when Dakota joined the cast of Twilight.
Dakota plays a villainous vampire in the hit franchise and she loved wearing red contact lenses for the role. "It's something that's always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes - it's been something that people have always talked about," Dakota added. "But I enjoyed the red. You're automatically transformed into a creature when you put those red eyes in."

The stars of Twilight will reportedly get $25 million each for the final two films in the series. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are said to have signed new deals with Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the hit vampire movies.

NY magazine reports the contracts will see them receive $25 million, plus 7.5% of profit from ticket sales for the final installment of the series Breaking Dawn, which will be split into two movies. If the Breaking Dawn films do as well as New Moon, which made $710 million worldwide, the young actors could make an additional $16 million each.
Meanwhile, Breaking Dawn screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has revealed the last two movies in the series will be “sexier” than what has come before them. She spoke in detail about Robert’s Edward Cullen and Kristen’s Bella Swan’s sex scene, saying it would be “way hot”, but still suitable for children to watch.
"Breaking Dawn will be sexier," Melissa she told E! Online. "I think we can get awfully sexy with a PG-13, I'm not worried about the rating. I know a lot of fans are like, 'We have to go R to do it justice,' but I don't think so. I think it's going to be pretty hot. Way hot!"

Sandra Bullock has been voted "Favorite American" in an online poll hosted by AOL's entertainment and celebrity gossip website PopEater and syndicated TV news show The Insider.

The freshly divorced Bullock topped other celebrities Angelina Jolie, Oprah, Kristen Stewart and Lady Gaga.
Of the over 163,000 votes submitted, the website reveals the star of "The Blind Side" was a runaway winner as 63% of voters that clicked through the unscientific online poll chose Sandra Bullock.

The poll also tallied the losers.  The report reveals Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt easily took that crown, garnering 37 percent of over 83,000 votes.
The report reveals the reality TV "soon-to-be-exes triumphed over the philandering Tiger Woods, who had 33 percent and Jon Gosselin, the troubled father of 8, who placed third with 15 percent."

Kristen Stewart First Love Heartbreak - Boyfriend Robert Pattinson & Kristen Get Prayers

Robert Pattinson's sexy American girlfriend Kristen Stewart has revealed her first love broke her heart.  “Everybody says the first cut if the deepest. It’s so true. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the best love, but it’s the first that you remember,” she said.

Perhaps this romance with co-star Rob will not lead to the same end, as producers are praying for the couple.  Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey has confirmed Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s real-life relationship and said he fears them splitting up.

Previously, the young stars’ off-screen romance has been the subject of widespread media speculation and they have never spoken publicly about whether they are an item.
“The thing I do think about is, Oh my God, I hope they stay together. Because it could be awkward on set in the next movie if they have a huge falling out. It's like, wow, they have to portray this love story through two more movies. God, I hope they stay together; please stay together,” Godfrey told Time.

On the international press coverage of Stewart's and Pattinson’s relationship, the film-maker pondered: “Do people still report on it? If you look at people who have a stable personal life, the rags get tired of them. I think we're heading to that place where they are together and that's their life and we better find someone new to create drama out of.”

Kristen Stewart thinks she is a "crazy cat lady".

The 20-year-old actress - best known for her portrayal of Bella Swan in 'The Twilight Saga' - believes she leads a boring life because she spends so much time at home with her beloved pet.

She said: "I'm so boring. No I am. I sit in my house with my cat. I'm a crazy cat lady, just give me a couple of years. I have one cat but I'm obsessed with him."

The 'Runaways' star, who is believed to be dating her 'Twilight' co-star Robert Pattinson, also admits she would like to work on more light roles following a number of dark characters but finds choosing the right part difficult.

Robert Pattinson has had enough of Kristen Stewart's  "negative attitude" and finally called it quits, a report from Life & Style claims.  The magazine has the two young lovers on the cover and claims Rob broke things off with Kristen earlier this year.

"When Rob was back in the U.K., he was totally fed up with Kristen and over it. He told her, ‘We’re done,’” an insider tells Life & Style.
“Rob says she complains about everything and is such a downer. But when he meets up with her they start flirting again and get caught up in all the romance.”

However - Rob isn't giving up, according to the insider.
The magic may have drained from his and Kristen’s relationship, but Rob clearly hasn’t given up on his fairy-tale ending.
“There are still a lot of people in the world who desperately want to keep real romance alive,” Rob has said. “It sounds lame, but it’s the truth.”

Kristen Stewart Set To Sink Teeth Into "Breaking Dawn"

Kristen Stewart can't wait to sink her teeth into "Breaking Dawn," the two-part finale in the smash hit "Twilight" films about falling in love with a vampire.

The actress at the center of the movie series, which sees its third episode "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" wing its way into theaters on June 30, said that when her teenager Bella Swan finally becomes one of the living dead in "Breaking Dawn," she will be "coolest vampire" of the cult.

"I've thought about it a lot, and I can't wait to actually be it. It's going to be a trip, it's going to be weird," Stewart, 20, told reporters over the weekend in interviews to promote "Eclipse."

The "Twilight" movies all revolve around teenager Bella and her forbidden romance with the vampire Edward Cullen. The books by author Stephenie Meyer have become a publishing sensation, and the movies have sucked cash out of theater box offices. The first "Twilight" and the second "New Moon" together have collected $1.1 billion in global ticket sales.

Fan anticipation is running high for "Eclipse," in which an army of newly created bloodsuckers go on a hunt to kill Bella. But many "Twilight" watchers argue on websites and elsewhere that the fourth tome, "Breaking Dawn," is too dark to make into a movie for the largely teenage audience.

In fact, Summit Entertainment, the studio behind "The Twilight Saga," said last week it would split "Breaking Dawn" into two, after a torrent of media speculation the company might need a pair of films to address the complicated story.

Stewart, however, seems excited about the studio's decision and the fact that in "Breaking Dawn," Bella is transformed into the living dead by her beloved Edward. Stewart said she and others associated with "Twilight" have long known "Breaking Dawn" would become two films.

MONSTER BABY

The one person who seemed to be outside the loop of advance knowledge was Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward. Pattinson also said he has not yet read "Breaking Dawn."

"I just heard, sort of, brief rumors about what happens in the story, but I don't really know what happens at all," Pattinson said.

In the book, Bella and Edward marry and have a baby girl named Renesmee, who turns out to be a bit of a monster.

In contrast to her co-star, Stewart seemed to have an excellent grasp of "Breaking Dawn." She said her character Bella, who has been flirting with joining Edward's bloodsucker clan, will "be the coolest vampire out of all of them."

Yet, others have found problems with "Breaking Dawn." In 2008, the Los Angeles Times posted a blog titled "'Twilight': 10 reasons 'Breaking Dawn' should not be made into a movie."

The post argued one reason is that Edward "goes from being the man of every girl's dreams to a man in need," and it cited a darker twist dealing with werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) who has long been in love with Bella.

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who has adapted the "Twilight" novels for the screen, said she believes "there is a great story to be told" in "Breaking Dawn."

She also believes director Bill Condon, who made the critically-acclaimed musical "Dreamgirls" and the drama "Gods and Monsters," is a good fit to helm both of the "Breaking Dawn" movies and give depth to the story's darker elements.

"I don't think he's going to shy away from it, I don't think there's any reason to," she said.

Kristen Stewart has apologized for sparking outrage by comparing being photographed by the paparazzi to being “raped”. The Twilight actress put her foot firmly in her mouth during an interview with Britain’s Elle magazine, claiming that press intrusion felt like being sexually assaulted.

Now, the 20-year-old star, who is dating British hunk Robert Pattinson, is taking back the comments, which drew furious criticism from victims’ rights groups.
"I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously," Stewart told People magazine. "And I'm really sorry about my choice of words."

The brunette - known for her outspoken nature - added: "I've made stupid remarks before, and I've always reasoned 'Whatever. They can think what they want'." But this time, the Los Angeles-born actress said she felt compelled to address her gaffe publicly.
"Violated definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought," she said. "People thinking that I'm insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake."
