Is Anybody Else Sick of Twilight Yet?

Am I the only one completely burnt out on Twilight? I have to be the only girl in America who is not gaga for those guys.

You aren't alone. If it makes you feel any better, you have compatriots among my thousands of B!tchlettes worldwide.

But before we get to that, let's give you the bad news:

Which is that—and this is science, mind you, cruel, cruel science—Twilight is as big as ever. Here come those mean numbers to back up my findings.

First, box office predictions on Eclipse, and if you're not a fan of the Kristen Stewart Bewilderment School of Acting, this will not be welcome news.

"Going into the summer, Eclipse was slated to be one of the Top 5 films of the summer, and I don't think anything has changed in that regard," says Jeff "Doomsayer" Bock of Exhibitor Relations. "Opening day will likely be close to $50 million, and we should still see a weekend number of around $70-plus million.

"As box office lore goes, film series typically wane by the third incarnation, but the Twilight phenomenon seems to be a different beast, and I would expect overall grosses to be on par with New Moon when all is said and done."

Beast being the operative word, maybe. On my Facebook page, B!tchlettes have been raging against Twi mania: "Twi-hards make me facepalm like no other," B!tchlette Colby tells me.

But like I said, you're in the minority, and yes, sadly, I have more numbers with which to beat you about the head and face.

Over on Predicto, that 2-million-strong subscriber-based mobile community, Twilight is still tops, even over, say, Harry Potter. The peeps recently voted that the third Twilight installment will beat out any other sequel for the summer, including Sex and the City 2 and Iron Man 2.

"I don't see it going away anywhere anytime soon," says Predicto's Kirthana Ramisetti.

So you may as well pick a side in the whole Bella love triangle. Hell, I'll be Team Werewolf.

Robert, Kristen and Taylor: Twilight Convention Trifecta



Taking the stage to answer questions for their biggest fan's and members of the media, the stars of "Twilight" took to the "Eclipse" Convention in Los Angeles, California over the weekend.

With Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner all on-hand, the trio laughed amongst one another while reminiscing about past moments and looking ahead to the future in front of the crowd at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza venue.

Since that time, Pattinson also took a moment to chat with the Today show on Monday (June 14), saying to interviewer Jenna Bush, "I would like to go on a date. I'm just saying. I'm just putting that out there. Because I never go on dates anymore."

And while romance may be on his mind, Robert isn't keen on the idea of "settling down," as he tells, "I don't think settling down should be the same thing as getting married. I mean, I guess settling down just means not sleeping with everybody. I don't like the idea of having to settle, though."

During the course of his sitdown, Rob also made it known that he's looking to best Taylor when it comes to his coif and his abs.

He tells, "I want to have better hair than him. I want to have a better six-pack. No, he's great. I've been close with him throughout the whole series."

Robert Pattinson: All Business in Beverly Hills



Tending to his all-important business matters, Robert Pattinson was spotted out for a meeting in Beverly Hills on Friday (June 11).

Getting a break from his "Water for Elephants" filming duties, the Edward Cullen stud strolled past paparazzi as he gears up for the Twilight convention this weekend.

Speaking of "Twilight," it was just recently announced that "Breaking Dawn" will be split into two films.

Rob told press, “I think it will be interesting… I’m curious to see what it’ll look like. We don’t procrastinate any longer. Bella telling me, ‘I want you to turn me’ and me going, ‘No, no, no.’ She becomes a vampire in this movie. We get married and sleep together.”

“I’m wondering how they will be able to translate this on screen. We’ll end up with an R-rated movie. Can you imagine if we decided to go in and turn Twilight into a hardcore saga for adults with sex scenes and everything? I haven’t read the script yet, but I’m sure it’ll be good.”

"Eclipse" Offers Up More New Footage



There’s no doubt it’s one of the most anticipated films of the year, and there’s less than 20 days until the release of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

Giving fans even more reason to be excited, a brand new clip has been released of Bella tagging along with Jacob to his house where she must face the wolf pack once again.

In related news, coming up this weekend (June 11-13), Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are slated to make appearances at an “Eclipse” convention taking place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, CA.

Tickets for the big weekend are available for purchase, and according to the convention’s website, “This is ‘the one,’ the weekend that will make fan history as we proudly present the incredible cast of the most eagerly awaited film of the year, ‘The Twilight Saga: ECLIPSE,’ coming to theaters June 30, 2010.”
