    Best bets: 'Twilight' prepares to go out with a battle royale

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    It's finally here. The vampire battle royale is about to begin as "Breaking Dawn Part 2" wraps up the mammoth "Twilight" saga with the fifth and final film. Also this week: Pixar's lively "Brave" hits home video, the American Music Awards rock out.

    Summit Entertainment

    The final "Twilight" battle begins this week.

    TUESDAY: 'Brave' on DVD

    It may not be top-level Pixar a la "Toy Story," but this year's "Brave," the story of a flame-haired Scottish princess whose fight with her queen mother turns bad, is definitely worth seeing.  Redheaded Merida is a dynamo, and her curls fly around like fireflies. The story drags a bit once a witch's spell changes the mother-daughter relationship, but this film is still a hit for kid-centered homes with parents dying for a new movie to watch 93,564,274,052 times in a row. (Out on DVD and Blu-ray Nov. 13.)

    FRIDAY: 'Breaking Dawn Part 2'

    "Twilight" fans and foes, your moment is here. If you hate the uber-popular vampire saga, rejoice, because this is the last movie in the five-film series, and you soon won't have to hear about Team Edward and Team Jacob any more. If you're a fan, you're not reading this because you're already camped out on the street waiting to be the first on your block to see "Breaking Dawn Part 2." "Part 1" was family focused, with Bella and Edward finding first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Bella with a half-vampire infant in a baby carriage. Renesmee is growing up fast, and her very existence has set up a giant vampire brawl for it all, with the royal Volturi coming from Italy to try and destroy the child. Good luck with that. (Opens Nov. 16.)

    SUNDAY (NOV. 18): American Music Awards

    The American Music Awards may not be the Grammys, but the live show will have plenty of star-studded moments anyway. Christina Aguilera will be among the performers, and Nicki Minaj and Rihanna top this year's nominees. There'll also be a new electronic music category introduced -- naturally, Skrillex is nominated. (Nov. 18, 8 p.m., ABC.)

    Robert Pattinson hates 'RPatz' nickname: It sounds 'like an antacid tablet'

    By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

    "Twilight" franchise star Robert Pattinson knows he's called "RPatz" in the press and by fans. But he kind of wishes everyone would stop.

    "I don't understand what the nickname culture is," he told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie Thursday. "If I could figure out a way to get rid of that, it'd be amazing. It does sound like an antacid tablet."

    Just one of the downsides of fame that have emerged over the past four years as Pattinson has been starring in the film series, which ends when "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2" is released Nov. 16. Another appears to be the press and fan scrutiny of his relationship with "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart. The couple have been together almost throughout the making of the films, and had a very public split recently when she was caught smooching the director of her film "Snow White and the Huntsman."

    When Stewart appeared on TODAY Wednesday, she was cagey about whether they'd reunited, noting, "Keep 'em guessing." And Pattinson was just as dodgy. "I want to ask, because we get asked that all the time," he said. "It's like, 'Who is actually asking?' Is it in your contract?"

    Guthrie allowed that it was.


    Follow @ TODAY_ent

    "It doesn't have to be (personal)," he said. "It only becomes personal if you answer it."

    In any case, there's a lot of change ahead for Pattinson and his probably-maybe girlfriend Stewart, now that the "Twilight" movies are over and they're starting to go their separate ways professionally. Pattinson took a rather dim (if tongue-in-cheek) view of the rest of his career: "It's the end of my youth," he grinned. "Just a slow death from now."

    "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2" opens on Nov. 16.

    Kristen Stewart on relationship with Robert Pattinson: I like to 'keep them guessing'

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    The wait is almost over! The final chapter of the "Twilight Saga" will soon hit the big screen, but before it does, there's something else that many "Twilight" fans are clamoring for -- an update on the relationship status of the film franchise's biggest stars. Sure, Edward and Bella are bound to be doing fine. But what about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson?

    Savannah Guthrie asked if the romance was back on during Stewart's  Wednesday morning visit to TODAY.

    "Funny you mention that," the famously private actress said. "I'm just going to let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are and go for it. Keep them guessing, I always say."

    While fans of the real-life romance will have to keep guessing about the duo's post-scandal status, they don't have to wait for "Breaking Dawn Part 2" details. After all, Stewart wasn't so shy when it came to talking about her on-screen alter ego. She was, however, sad to be putting Bella behind her.


    Follow @ TODAY_ent

    "I mean, to have five years with one main focus -- it's just rare for an actor," she said on her "Twilight" time. "Usually you've got like five weeks, five months. Yeah, I definitely, you know, I'm OK walking away, but at the same time, I could keep it for another five."

    Bella's seen some big changes during the five years Stewart's portrayed the character, such as her human-to-vampire transformation. But none of it seemed too different to the actress.

    "Playing Bella so long as a human really helped me play her as a vampire, because it didn't seem like this huge leap into fantasy land," she explained. "It was a natural step for her. It was -- not to be completely cheesy -- but she really was born to do that."

    Born to be a vamp?

    "It did always feel that if you took (away) the fact that she was a vampire, she was a fully-realized version of who you always knew she could be. She's always been self-assured. It's just that on the outside, you know, fear is a funny thing when you're that age. It can be a motivator; it can cripple you. Bella has always been the type of person to ... once one of those walls are broken down, she doesn't try to build it back up."

    See the "fully-realized" Bella on the big screen when "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" hits theaters nationwide on Nov. 16.

    November is best movie month of the year

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    It hasn't been a great year for movies. ("John Carter" or "That's My Boy," anyone?) But start popping the popcorn, because it's time to escape to the movie theater again. November may just be the best month for movies so far this year, with James Bond returning, the "Twilight" vampires gathering for the final fight, and famous faces from books and history moving on to the big screen.

    Francois Duhamel / MGM/Columbia Pictures

    Daniel Craig in "Skyfall."

    Here's a look at some of the bigger films coming to a cineplex near you:

    NOV. 9
    'Skyfall'
    Bond is back, and it's about time. It's been four years since "Quantum of Solace" came out, and thanks to MGM's financial troubles, it seemed for a while as if the super spy wasn't going to make it back. But now that he has, previews look positive. It features a nice juicy role for Judi Dench's M, and who doesn't love her in that role? James Adams at Toronto's Globe and Mail has high praise for the film, writing, "Skyfall is one of the best Bonds in the 50-year history of moviedom's most successful franchise."

    'Lincoln'
    Steven Spielberg never picks tiny topics. The filmmaker's latest is "Lincoln," with Daniel Day-Lewis playing the beloved president, Sally Field as his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as their son, Robert Todd Lincoln. The film focuses on the last months of Lincoln's life, including the Union victory in the Civil War and the ending of slavery.

    NOV. 16
    'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'
    "Twilight" fans need to see their vampire saga wind up in a big way, especially after "Breaking Dawn Part 1," with its interminable Bella pregnancy and bloody birth scene. It's time for some good old-fashioned vampire butt-kicking, and since Bella is now just as much a vampire as husband Edward, the film should get right to the good stuff. And yes, for some folks, the only "good stuff" here is that the franchise is finally over. Unless Stephenie Meyer has another dream ...  

    NOV. 23
    'Life of Pi'

    If you were in a book club in 2001 or 2002, you probably read "Life of Pi." It's a complex and beautiful fable that's hard to explain, but suffice to say a young man finds himself out at sea in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Ang Lee of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fame directed the film version, of which Film.com raves, "There isn't a dull moment in the film, and there are about 300 worthy of a wow.'"

    'Red Dawn'
    "WOLVERINES!" "AVENGE ME!" The 1984 version of "Red Dawn" is so wonderfully campy, yet it's hard to meet anyone who was in high school or college in the 1980s who didn't see it. You know the plot: America is invaded and it's up to a wily group of high schoolers to fight for freedom. In this month's remake, the enemy's the Chinese, not the Russians, and Tom Cruise's son, Connor, is one of the young stars. We're not saying this is Oscar quality, we just like saying "WOLVERINES!"

    NOV. 23
    'Hitchcock'
    Good eeeeeevening. Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock's recognizable voice and rotund shape, along with his classic films, make him a pop-culture favorite. But you don't have to know anything about the man himself to have an interest in "Hitchcock," the biopic about the director's work on his horror classic, "Psycho," and his relationship with his wife, Alma.  Anthony Hopkins looks fabulous in trailers, and Helen Mirren matches him step-for-step as Alma.

    'Twilight' fans, don't leave the theater until after 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' credits roll

    By Courtney Garcia, NBC News contributor

    Spoiler alert: If you don't want to know about the post-credits scene in "Breaking Dawn Part 2," stop reading now.

    "Twilight" fans may be dreading the moment when the final scene ends during "Breaking Dawn Part 2" and the movie's credits begin to roll. But even once that happens, Twihards should stay glued to their seats -- and not just because they want to see the name of the film's craft services director roll by.

    courtesy Summit Entertainment

    Nikki Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie in the movie, recently revealed to MTV News that the film will feature a post-credits scene showing all 150 cast members performing a choreographed dance number. And apparently it was a surprise only to the film's director, Bill Condon.

    "It was a surprise moment on set that was pretty incredible," the 24-year-old told the outlet. "That day, there were about 150 of us, and we all came together and surprised Bill. ... It took a couple of practice runs, and we had one drill sergeant who was in charge of gathering everyone. I got really into it. I was so into it that I wanted to be in the front row."


    Follow @ NBCNewsEnt

    Reed's not the only one who's talked about the scene. Kellan Lutz, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen, Rosalie's husband, told The Insider that the cast has been encouraged to tell fans not to leave the theater early.

    "They're really going to love it, and Bill even told me to tell fans to stay for the credits — a really special thing is happening after the surprise ending," Lutz said. 

    The actors who play vampires from the Denali coven have also talked about the scene. Maggie Grace, Mia Maestro and Casey LaBow discussed the dance at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this summer.

    "We needed the morale boost, I think, to unite us all in vampirehood and joy," Grace said.

    The "Twilight" cast won't be the first to engage in a giant dance. In 2008, "Slumdog Millionaire" features the cast dancing a lively choreographed number to "Jai Ho," which won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best song.

    Maestro said she organized the "Twilight" dance, which is set to the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," with a hint of another famed 1980s hit.

    "There's a vampire thing in there," Grace told MTV News. "A little 'Thriller.' "

    The film, which opens on Nov. 16, has already sold over $1 million worth of tickets.

    'Twilight' poster shows Bella, Edward and Jacob running awkwardly

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    They don't exactly look natural. A new poster for next month's final "Twilight" movie, "Breaking Dawn Part 2," shows new vampire Bella, her husband Edward, and their shapeshifting wolf pal Jacob, racing towards the camera, presumably to attack. And ... they're looking a little awkward.

    courtesy Summit Entertainment

    The trio in motion do not exactly resemble Olympian track stars. In a tweet, Total Film asked if the poster offered "the most awkward fake running ever?" A reader responded by dubbing it "more like fake speed-walking."


    Follow @ NBCNewsEnt

    Another person asked, "the guy on the left...Is he skipping?" And another cracked, "looks like this was taken while the cast was going on a relaxed jog."

    The poster may not thrill everyone, but fans are still lining up for tickets. Deadline.com reports that over a million dollars worth of advance tickets were sold on the first day of sale. Pretty good for a film that still doesn't open until Nov. 16.

    And ever since the public brouhaha about Kristen Stewart cheating on "Twilight" husband and real-life beau Robert Pattinson broke, nosy fans have been wondering just how exactly the two are going to promote a film together. According to an E! News source, the two have been seen together at Soho House, a members-only restaurant and bar in West Hollywood, Calif.

    Final 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2' trailer is here!

    By Sierra Marquina, E! Online

    Well, this is awkward. In the just released trailer for "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two," recently single Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, says that not only is her "time as a human was over" but that she "thought [they] would be safe forever, but forever isn't as long as [she] hoped"...

    See Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as vampires in love

    The last trailer for the upcoming final installment of the "Twilight Saga" centers around the Volturi setting out to start a war against the Cullens and features Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner as well as Dakota Fanning, alongside a ferocious K.Stew.

    The flick picks up where part one left off, following the birth of Bella and Edward's child Renesmee Cullen and her mistaken identity as a mortal child, leading the Volturi to set out to destroy Renesmee.

    Along with the excitement the trailer is sure to bring Twi-hards, comes the burning question of how K.Stew and R.Patz will handle press interviews and upcoming red carpets?!

    We can't wait.

    Kristen Stewart rebels against a packaged image of herself: 'I'm not that smooth'

    Vogue

    By The Hollywood Reporter

    Kristen Stewart, who has been generating even more headlines than usual thanks to her recent cheating scandal, says she struggles with being in the public eye. The actress reveals in the October issue of British Vogue, the cover of which she graces, that she has a hard time presenting herself a certain way.

    STORY: Kristen Stewart cheating scandal: PR experts assess her chance of recovery

    "I know that if you haven't thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I can't," Stewart says. "People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I'm not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, 'OK, I'm really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?' I wouldn't know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can't."

    The actress has kept a low profile since she admitted July 25 that she cheated on Robert Pattinson, her boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star, by having an affair with her married "Snow White & the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.

    VIDEO: Robert Pattinson breaks silence on Kristen Stewart cheating scandal

    "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," Stewart said in a statement after Us Weekly ran photos of her and Sanders in compromising positions.

    Pattinson recently wrapped a media tour his movie "Cosmopolis," during which he deftly evaded directly answering questions on the subject.


    Follow @ TODAY_ent

    Stewart next stars in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," which opens Nov. 16, and "On the Road," an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's novel that hits U.S. theaters in late December. In the latter, she plays a 16-year-old non-conformist liberal, a character to whom Stewart says she can relate.

    STORY: Kristen Stewart apologizes for cheating on Robert Pattinson

    "There is always going to be that seam of people who want things differently to the standardized version," she says. "It's not necessarily a rebellious thing, it's just who they are. That world back then, it just seems freer to me than anything I could ever touch, and I'm fully nostalgic for it, even though I wasn't even alive then.

    "It's the loyalty aspect of it all. I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don't get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive."

    'Twilight,' 'Hunger Games,' Taylor Swift win big at 2012 Teen Choice Awards

    Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson at the Teen Choice Awards.

    By Bruna Nessif, E! Online

    Who missed out on the surfboard giveaway?

    Sunday night we watched this year's hottest celebs get honored by the fans as Demi Lovato and Kevin McHale hosted the 2012 Teen Choice Awards along with the sounds of DJ Pauly D.

    If you missed it, don't start freaking out, because we put together some highlights, along with the list of winners, right here for you.

    READ: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's date night in Miami!

    Best Opening: The entire cast of "Step Up Revolution" flipping, breakdancing and crumping on stage to get us ready for tonight's show totally worked. They even made some audience members swoon -- including Taylor Swift, who got a kiss on the hand. 

    Worst Flashback: And by worst, we mean for McHale, but it was great for us. Did you know the "Glee" star was in a boy band?! Yep, we even got to see some old NLT (Not Like Them) footage and then the actor gave us his own impromptu "audition" to Lovato. He totally has the "X Factor."

    GALLERY: 2012 Teen Choice Awards arrivals 

    Best Entourage: Choice Comedian winner Ellen DeGeneres took the stage with the coolest (and cutest) "hype girls" -- Sophia Grace and Rosie. Their excitement was adorable and got even better when they found out they won Choice Web Stars. Of course, Sophia Grace was ecstatic and Rosie didn't seem fazed at all. 

    READ: Happy Birthday, Selena Gomez! Justin Bieber's ladylove turns 20

    Worst Hairstyle: We're not sure how Demi constructed that ponytail of hers (duct tape maybe?), but it looks like she got the idea from some "Street Fighter" character. When she finally took it down, we noticed a blue ombre thing happening. Not sure how we feel about that, either. 

    Best Return to the Stage: No Doubt performed their comeback hit single "Settle Down," and although it wasn't some crazy theatric performance, we liked it, because it was real. Gwen Stefani (does she age?!) actually sang and rocked the crowd. They've still got it.

    Worst Disappointment: Unfortunately, Channing Tatum wasn't there to accept his award with Jonah Hill for their flick "21 Jump Street." And here we were secretly hoping that, since Magic Mike costar Adam Rodriguez helped present the award, they would bust into a dance on stage together. Wishful thinking. 


    Follow @ TODAY_ent

    Best Undercover Weapon: Did you guys catch Flo Rida's microphone? It had a huge embellished set of wings on there that could easily be some sort of shield or self-defense aid if things got crazy. 

    Worst Ending: As usual, Justin Bieber rocked his performance and offered amazing choreography to keep us focused. So what happened that made us deem this the worst ending? The fact that it ended! We could have continued watching him all night. 

    Best Appearance: The "Twilight" Saga isn't over just yet. As we anxiously wait for "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" to release this fall, we got to see Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner accept the Ultimate Choice Award after an incredible movie montage that got us that much more excited for the next film. Oh, and did you know "Twilight" has won 41 Teen Choice Awards? 

    Worst Pants: Sorry, McHale, but those jellyfish-print pants are just not working for us. But we do like how it inspired you and Demi to start shaking your booties on each other. More of that, please. 

    Best Backup: This summer's biggest hit "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen was the final performance of the night, and she was accompanied by a video of fans and celebs singing along to the song. We kinda loved that.

    'Twilight' fan hit, killed by car at Comic-Con in San Diego

    By Todd Gilchrist , The Hollywood Reporter

    A woman was fatally injured Tuesday when she was struck by a car in front of the Comic-Con convention center in San Diego.

    The Examiner reported that a 53-year-old "Twilight" fan named Gisella G. was hit by a vehicle while crossing the street to line up for admission into Hall H.

    The San Diego Union-Tribune also reported that the incident took pace at Fifth Avenue and Harbor Drive, requiring the police to shut down part of the street. According to a tweet at 11:45 am PT by @RobKris13, the woman was attended to by paramedics. “If you pray pls do so now for Twi fan G! She was just hit by a car in front of the convention center! She was unconscious when taken hosp.”

    Reports indicate that the woman was “bleeding profusely” from the head when she was rushed to the hospital. The 67-year-old driver remained at the scene for questioning by the police.

    The victim’s twitter feed (@Mad4Hugh) is already full of condolences from fellow "Twilight" fans and other Comic-Con attendees. On July 9, a message from the official Comic-Con twitter (@Comic_Con) account asked fans not to line up until organizers were able to complete the set-up process.

    “Please do not line up for Hall H, set-up is not complete. Read the complete line-up guidelines: http://bit.ly/Na5LFZ  ‪#SDCC‬ ‪#twilight,” the tweet read.

    Comic-Con has rarely dealt with major injuries or incidents, although two years ago a young man stabbed another with a pen while fighting for seats in the convention center’s Hall H. A few years prior, a beam collapsed in Hall H, injuring several fans including Collider.com editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub.

    'Twilight' teaser shows a new, butt-kicking Bella

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    The full "Breaking Dawn Part 2" teaser reveals a whole new Bella Swan. She's not the wimpy, clumsy, protect-me-Edward girl she was in the first four "Twilight" films. Now she's a vampire, a mom, a wife, and one heck of a fighter.

    "Eighteen years of being utterly ordinary, I finally found where I could shine," Bella (Kristen Stewart) says. "I was born to be a vampire."

    And the role does seem to agree with her. We only see Bella briefly, but she has a determination and a fierceness that hasn't been seen in her character before.

    When she tells daughter Renesmee, "I'll never let anybody hurt you," you believe her, and when she lines up with the other Cullens to take on the Volturi in what looks like a fang-filled version of "Red Rover, Red Rover," she looks like a woman on a mission.

    Don't mess with Mama Vampire, Volturi.

    Renesmee revealed! Fans get first look at Bella and Edward's daughter

    Entertainment Weekly

    Renesmee Cullen is finally revealed on the cover of the June 22, 2012 edition of Entertainment Weekly.

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    "Twilight" fans have been wondering about Renesmee Cullen's looks ever since they first read about her birth in "Breaking Dawn." She arrived on the movie screen in "Breaking Dawn Part 1," but fans didn't get a good look at the half-vampire, half-human child until now.

    Renesmee (played by 11-year-old Mackenzie Foy) appears on the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly with her movie parents, Bella (Kristin Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), as well as Jacob (Taylor Lautner), who imprinted upon her at birth and has become her protector.

    Foy's Renesmee is lovely, with long dark curls similar to Stewart's, and a serious, most un-childlike expression. In the Entertainment Weekly article, even Stewart commented that the young actress looked like she could really be related to her on-screen parents. "Even our hands look similar,” she told EW. "It was kind of strange."

    Cast and crew had only positive words for Foy, but Pattinson said that the adults on-set had to curb their casual language around her. "She had a little swear jar, and I think she made 850 bucks or something," he told the magazine.

    "Breaking Dawn Part 2" hits theaters Nov. 18.
