Kristen axed from Snow White sequel?

Kristen left out of Snow White sequel?

Reports have emerged that the next Snow White and the Huntsman film might not focus on Kristen Stewart’s character as planned, with new writers being hired to change the script.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Stewart could miss out on the role, with Universal bosses now deciding whether to commission a spin-off based around Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman character.

The Reporter claims that the writer of the original film, David Koepp, has been paid out of his contract to pen the sequel:

“According to sources, as the project is being transformed into something other than the movie that Koepp had been hired to write.

“The studio is currently exploring options to continue the franchise.”

This news comes just weeks after it emerged that 22-year-old Kristen and married father-of-two Snow White director, Rupert Sanders had a fling.

Sanders, 41, isn’t guaranteed to return to the picture either, with his wife, Liberty Ross, apparently banning the director from working with Kristen again.

Earlier this week, Kristen’s ex and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson gave his first television interview since the split, appearing on The Daily Show in the US.

The actor, who rarely talks about his private life, was understandably cagey about Stewart, dodging questions from host Jon Stewart, who joked that he should “kick her to the curb”.

Stewart has been keeping a low profile since pictures of her and Sanders emerged last month, however she is set to face Pattinson at the upcoming MTV awards, where they are scheduled to present an award together.

Snow White and the Huntsman was released in cinemas in May and took more the £248million at the Box Office.

Kristen: I’m sorry, I love him

Kristen owned up to the betrayal in a statement

Kristen Stewart has admitted to cheating on her boyfriend, Twilight star Robert Pattinson.

Reports emerged on 25 July that the actress had been caught on camera with Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, who is married with two children.

Stewart, 22, has now released a statement owning up to the betrayal and apologising for the “hurt and embarrassment” caused by the fling:

“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 jeopardised 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.”

Forty-one-year-old Rupert, who is married to model Liberty Ross, followed suit, issuing the following statement:

“I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family.

“My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”

Stewart and Sanders worked together on Snow White and the Huntsman, which hit cinemas last month. Sanders’ wife, Liberty, 33, also starred in the film as Queen Eleanor, Kristen’s character’s mother.

Kristen ‘cheats on Pattinson’

Kristen accused of fling with married father-of-two

Reports have emerged that Kristen Stewart has apparently cheated on her Twilight co-star other half, Robert Pattinson, with a married director.

The 22-year-old starlet allegedly had a fling with the director of her latest film, Snow White and the Huntsman, married father-of-two, Rupert Sanders.

American entertainment magazine US Weekly claims to have proof of the actress’ indiscretion; obtaining a photograph of 41-year-old Sanders with his arms wrapped around Kristen, which was taken last Tuesday (17 July).

People.com is also reporting on the story, with a source reportedly describing Kristen as “devastated” at her “lapse in judgement”:

“Kristen is absolutely devastated. It was a mistake and a complete lapse in judgement.

“She wasn’t having an affair with Rupert. It was just a fleeting moment that shouldn’t have happened. She never meant to hurt anyone. She’s a good person who just made a bad choice.”

Kristen and Brit boy Robert met while filming the Twilight saga movies together and have always tried to keep details about their relationship private.

Pattinson, 26, finally confirmed that he and Kristen were an item at the BAFTAs back in February 2010, telling The Sun at the time:

“It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes. We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy.

“This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy. We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention.”

Sanders is married to supermodel Liberty Ross, 33, and they have two children together.

Pattinson: I hate R-Patz

Don’t call him R-Patz – or Edward

Robert Pattinson has revealed that he hates his showbiz nickname, R-Patz and says he wants to “strangle” whoever came up with it.

In an interview with the Guardian about his new film, Cosmopolis, the Twilight star admitted that he wasn’t a fan of his widely-used moniker, saying:

“When I got [the part in Cosmopolis] every single article that came out, was, ‘R-Patz’s struggle for credibility!’ I don’t understand who invented that thing, ‘R-Patz’, but I want to strangle them.

“But once you’ve made that step, everything afterwards is not like, ‘R-Patz’s continuing struggle for credibility!’

“You’ve got to come up with something else, so it gets a little bit easier.”

The 26-year-old also opened up to the publication about struggling with auditions:

“‘I was always s*** at auditions. Since Twilight, I’ve done two. One of them was for a job I’m doing now and it was really hard. Two really, really long auditions that everybody was going up for.

“I was so happy afterwards when I got it.”

Pattinson could, however, be set to step away from acting, letting slip to Belgian news outlet Cine Tele Revue that he and girlfriend Kristen Stewart are working on a script together:

“We’re trying to write a script together. It won’t be for now, but we’ve thought about it for a long time.”

Catch Pattinson in Cosmopolis at cinemas from 15 June 2012.

Pattinson for Hunger Games sequel?

Pattinson in line for Catching Fire role?

Robert Pattinson has been tipped to star in the follow-up to the Hunger Games, according to reports.

The Twilight star is reportedly in line to play Finnick Odair in the forthcoming sci-fi sequel, Catching Fire.

US blog, Think McFly Think, claims it has inside information when it comes to the casting for the second film, receiving a tip that the actor will play the part.

In the books, Finnick is a handsome former winner of the Hunger Games, initially appearing charismatic and full of himself, but turns out to be influential to the story.

Lionsgate, the studio behind the film, has refused to either confirm or deny the reports, telling the Huffington Post:

“As with the first film, we won’t be confirming, denying or commenting any casting rumours for this title.

“We will announce news wide when there is official casting news to announce.”

The Hunger Games follows teenager Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is pitted against her peers in a fight to the death dubbed the Hunger Games.

The films will be based on the hugely popular series of young adult books, penned by Suzanne Collins.

Filming for Catching Fire will reportedly begin later this year, with the film slated for release in November 2013.

Kristen discusses ‘English boyfriend’

Has Kristen let slip?

Kristen Stewart has come closer than ever to confirming that she and Robert Pattinson are an item.

The Twilight actress was taking part in a photoshoot for GQ magazine, when the interviewer heard her make a remark about her “English” boyfriend.

When asked whether she was going to explore the UK while shooting her new film, she replied she would be doing “because my boyfriend is English”.

When the comment was repeated to Stewart the next day, she replied that she “never would have said [that] if I knew you were interviewing me”.

However, Kristen did admit then that her romance was well-known, despite their attempt at secrecy:

“Yeah, I know it is. So much of my life is so easily Googled. I mean, it’s like, come on guys, it’s so obvious!”

“”I don’t worry about it at all. It’s just one of those things. I’m selfish. I’m like, ‘That’s mine!’ And I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way.

“It’s a funny little game to play and it’s a slippery slope. I always say to myself I’m never going to give anything away because there’s never any point or benefit for me.”

Kristen and Pattinson, who star opposite each other in the Twilight films, have always been coy about whether they are – or are not – in a relationship, but rumours started circulating as soon as the franchise hit cinemas.

Pattinson slams album rumours

Reports are 'untrue'

Robert Pattinson has denied reports that he is to release a solo album.

Rumours surfaced yesterday that the Twilight star, who previously recorded two songs for the film’s soundtrack, was to due to start work on his debut album “in the next few weeks”.

However a representative for the actor has now put an end to the claims, telling MTV News:

“The report is untrue. He is not working on an album right now.”

According to ‘insiders’, Robert had been set to put together a whole album, rumoured to be “like stripped down Ray LaMontagne meets Van Morrison”.

The source told US Weekly:

“The album Rob will make will be guitar-based and drums, very organic-sounding, nothing pop.

“He’s tortured because he avoids it. When he’s sitting around jamming in the studio, it’s his favourite moment of life.”

Pattinson will star alongside Kristen Stewart in the latest instalment of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I, which hits UK cinemas on 18 November.
