“The Hunger Games” Rips the Rug Out from Under “Twilight”

1 May

I don’t remember the exact quote, but I remember that one of the first things out of my mouth after finally seeing “The Hunger Games” on the big screen was something along the lines of: “Is ‘The Hunger Games‘ eligible for the MTV Movie Awards this year? Because I think ‘Twilight’s streak has ended.”  Last night MTV confirmed that I’ve never been more right in my life.

MTV released the nominations for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards and while “The Hunger Games” is tied with “Bridesmaids” for a whopping 8 nominations among 8 different categories, “Twilight” has only 2 nominations among 2 different categories. This takes them down from 8 nominations in 6 different categories in 2011, where “Twilight” cast members won 5 out of 6 categories they were nominated for.

Most noticeably absent from the “Twilight” nominations are a Best Female Performance nomination for Kristen Stewart (Jennifer Lawrence got one), and Best Male Performance nominations for both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (Josh Hutcherson got one). The two categories “Twilight” actually are nominated for are Movie of the Year and Best Kiss – both of which are up against “The Hunger Games“. Will these 2012 MTV Movie Awards categories be as much of a blood bath as the actual Hunger Games?

Who would YOU take to the White House Correspondents Dinner?

28 Apr

Spring is a somewhat magical time here on the east coast for massive celebrity events. While the west coast is recovering from months of gigantic red carpets during awards season we are gearing up for two events: the Met Gala which takes place in New York, and the White House Correspondents Dinner which takes place in Washington DC, obviously. I’ve never made the trek down to Washington DC for the White House Correspondents Dinner, I imagine security at the White House is a little too extreme for fangirl’s like me looking to star gaze for an evening, but checking out all of the pictures online as they appear is one of my favorite end of April traditions.

This year comedian and late night show host Jimmy Kimmel is taking the stage to headline the White House Correspondents Dinner in hopes of making Mr. President, The First Lady, and the Vice President laugh all night long. The celebrity guest list is somewhat extensive and goes a little something like this:

ABC: Sofia Vergara; Jesse Tyler Ferguson; Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, Christa Miller, Bill Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, and Paul Rudd.

Atlantic Media: Rosario Dawson.

American Urban Radio Networks: Stevie Wonder.

Bloomberg: Zooey Deschanel and Kate Upton.

Bloomgberg BNA: Holly Robinson Peete.

CBS: Claire Danes, Christine Baranski.

CNN’s Piers Morgan: Goldie Hawn.

Fortune: Rashida Jones.

Fox News: Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner. (Fox News shouldn’t even be invited, in my opinion. Their invitation should have been revoked with their horrible guest choices.)

Fox’s Greta van Susteren: Lindsay Lohan. (Further proving my point about Fox’s invitation…)

Huffington Post: Daniel Day-Lewis, Dakota Fanning, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Darren Criss.

People Magazine: Josh Hutcherson.

The New Yorker: Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, Jason Schwartzman, Aziz Ansari.

Newsweek: Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis.

NPR: John Legend.

Washington Times: Uggie.

Washington Post: Pierce Brosnan.

Pretty swank list, right? To think.. that’s not even the entire guest list! The possibilities at an event like this are pretty endless, if you ask me. So, who would Professional Fan Girl invite to sit at her table during the White House Correspondents Dinner?

Anna Kendrick, Ryan Gosling, Megan Fox, Helen Mirren, Taylor Lautner, Jessica Chastain, Ashton Kutcher, and, of course, Betty White.

Most of these are a no brainer. Anna Kendrick? Fave. Taylor Lautner? Fave. Ryan Gosling? Well, if Taylor is sitting on one side, I need someone on the other… Helen Mirren? Let’s face it, the woman can and will party. Jessica Chastain? Who doesn’t want to be her best friend? Ashton Kutcher? We can chat social media. Megan Fox? Another fave. Plus, I’ve never met her. Really! Betty White… because someone will have to pick up where Helen Mirren leaves off after she passes out.

So, tell me, who would YOU bring to the White House Correspondents Dinner?

Taylor Lautner Finally Gets A Job!

6 Apr

As an avid Taylor Lautner fan I have spent the past few months on pins and needles awaiting news of what the star had lined up next. Now that he is done with the “Twilight” franchise his schedule is wide open, leaving room for him to finally branch out and set a name for himself apart from sparkly vampires and shirtless wolves.

We haven’t seen much from Taylor aside from a small role in the star-studded romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day” and last Fall we got a look at Taylor in a starring action role in “Abduction“. He was set to star in “Stretch Armstrong” and had even dropped out of the starring role in “Max Steel” to take on the Hasbro project, but as of January Taylor Lautner was officially out of “Stretch Armstrong” and it’s still unclear how or why. There are also rumors that Taylor will be starring in a still untitled, still unannounced indie project that Gus van Sant will be directing, but no one knows much about that aside from some internet speculation. Needless to say, no matter how big of a Taylor Lautner fan I may be I knew that 2012 was looking pretty dim for him.

Then on Tuesday there was a light at the end of the tunnel: Taylor Lautner was confirmed for a small role in an upcoming film. This is great news! This is so exciting! I am overwhelmed with joy and pride! Except for one small, minuscule, tiny little problem: the film is “Grown Ups 2“. Seriously.

I guess beggars can’t be choosers, and we all know that Taylor has the ability to be hilarious. We’ve seen him host SNL, we’ve seen his Funny or Die “Field of Dreams” short. THR reports Taylor will star in a “key, fun role” in which he goes toe-to-toe with Adam Sandler. I’m assuming it will be some sort of a cameo, if not Taylor playing a fictional tough, beefy, shirtless (fingers crossed!) athletic guy who kicks Adam’s characters ass at something.

Here is hoping Taylor Lautner shines in his small appearance and will be announcing more projects to cover his currently very bare schedule. As a fan I’ll see anything Taylor decides to work on, so just the idea that he’ll be back up on the big screen in something new soon is exciting enough for me!

“Grown Ups” was actually a pretty cute movie with some good laughs, so hopefully “Grown Ups 2” doesn’t let us down.

Michelle Obama + A Slimed Taylor Lautner

1 Apr

So, here’s my favorite picture from the Kid’s Choice Awards last night. I had a lot to pick from since all of my favorites consisted of Taylor Lautner and slime, but once I saw this I knew it took the cake.

You get the chance to meet Michelle Obama, the First Lady, and her two beautiful daughters…. and you’re covered in slime. Can you even IMAGINE?!

Regardless, this picture of Taylor Lautner shaking Michelle Obama’s hand while covered in green slime is hilarious. Poor Taylor!

Here’s My Favorite Josh Hutcherson Interview For You to Enjoy!

30 Mar

Josh Hutcherson was on Conan this week and he spent approximately five minutes throwing major amounts of shade at crazy (and by crazy I mean slutty) fans. If you made one of the signs or did one of the things Josh is throwing you under the bus for, you have no one to be mad at but yourself. However, I’d like to thank you for your tastelessness because it resulted in this HILARIOUS interview in which the JHutch swoon levels are higher than I am comfortable with. And don’t worry – it doesn’t seem like he’s actually throwing that much shade. For the most part he seems pretty amused with the whole situation!

Marc Malkin confirmed yesterday that Josh Hutcherson would be attending the Kid’s Choice Awards this weekend, and that my other fave Taylor Lautner would be in attendance. I am overwhelmed with fangirl emotions.

What if they sit near each other?

What if they present together?

What if they take a picture together?

Deep breaths. DEEP BREATHS.

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2″ Official Teaser Trailer!

26 Mar

Last week we got the 10 second preview of this teaser, and those of you who saw “The Hunger Games” this weekend got to see the 45 second full length “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2” trailer on the big screen! Now it has officially debuted online for fans to watch over and over and over again to obsess, speculate, water at the mouth, and start pulling their hair out until November.

Okay, maybe that last bit was sort of dramatic… but some TwiHards can be scary like that!

This 45 second teaser trailer is equal parts Kristen Stewart (Bella), Robert Pattinson (Edward), & even Taylor Lautner (Jacob) which is a nice shift from previous installments trailers. It made me wonder what a full length trailer will look like since I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting them to show us so much of vampire Bella in just the teaser.

Also, did you notice Taylor Lautner (Jacob) is wearing the same shirt you see him in at the very end of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1“? It looks like ‘Part 2′ will pick up exactly where it left off – with Kristen Stewart (Bella) waking up a vampire!

What are YOU hoping to see in the full length trailer?

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2″ Teaser Trailer!

20 Mar

NO WORDS. JUST TAYLOR.

(What a TEASE with that tan thought-it-was-shirtless fitted!)

I have to say I am VERY impressed with Lionsgate. Now that they are handling the Twi-franchise they managed to squeeze out an official 10 second teaser without any advanced notice, and without any leaks. Girl, bye Summit!

The FULL LENGTH ”The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2” trailer will premiere before “The Hunger Games” starting at midnight showings Thursday night everywhere. Get there early & be ready to squeal!

Do you think we’ll get a full length shot of Bella Swan (aka Kristen Stewart as a vampire) in the full length trailer?

Taylor Lautner + Peter Facinelli = TayFach?

15 Mar

Today in OMGWTF?! news… Taylor Lautner & Peter Facinelli have hooked up? Wait. What?!

Okay, I’m not one to post gossip… it’s gotta be something really, really good or really, really crazy and in this case I’m not sure which to file it under. Either way my head has exploded over THIS and I don’t know what to think about any of it.

Sadly Peter Facinelli & Jennie Garth, who were married for 11 years and have 3 children together, announced this past weekend that they have decided to separate. Peter attended “The Hunger Games” premiere with their oldest daughter Luca on Monday night with a bare ring finger on his left hand, but Jennie has yet to be spotted out and about. The two released a joint statement dispelling rumors of infidelity that quickly (as per usual with every celeb couple split) arose stating that their were “no third parties involved” in the end of their romance. However, the rumors are still rolling in left and right.

I mean, as hot as the idea of Taylor & Peter getting together is… (BE HONEST. IT’S HOT.) I am going to have to call bullshit on this one. My bullshit comes solely from the idea that Peter Facinelli is a good guy. Not that hooking up with dudes would make him a bad guy, but cheating on his wife and therefore dissembling the family he created with 11 years of his life would be pretty shitty no matter who it was with. So I’m Team PFach is a Good Guy and Team Sometimes Love Just Doesn’t Last with this one.

Oh, and Team Taylor Lautner is Not a Homewrecker. Obviously.

Happy 20th Birthday Taylor Lautner!

11 Feb

It is official: here on the east coast Taylor Lautner is 20 years old! Not only is he no longer a teenager, but in exactly 364 days he will be able to drink – LEGALLY! Not that I think he is going to go out and get his booze on or anything, but still. MILESTONE! During his 20th year Taylor will premiere the final installment of Twilight (thank GOD) and though he doesn’t have anything officially lined up or confirmed at the moment I am sure he will soon start working on some great projects. And I will be first in line for ALL of them. Literally every single one. Promise.

In honor of Taylor‘s 20th birthday I have compiled a list of things he should do this year. Kind of like goals. Ready?

1.) Finally get on Twitter. (And follow me, of course, since it was my idea and everything.)

2.) Go on a date with me. (Just one. I’ll settle for one!)

3.) Take a nice long tropical vacation somewhere ridiculously private and expensive. (Fiji? St. Lucia? If I pick, can I come with?)

4.) Film something in New York. (This is not a selfish goal on my end. Nope. Not at all.)

5.) Take over his Official Facebook page. (We 14 million fans would love some REAL updates from Taylor. Occasional pictures and video would be ace, too!)

Unfortunately I can’t make it to the west coast for his celebrations, but he knows I am there in spirit. Save me a piece of cake, Taylor!

A One Minute Video of Taylor Lautner Looking DELICIOUS.

21 Jan

So many things happening in this video. The hat. The beard. And how many cars does he have? Who is the dude? Why does he go see Cirque de Soleil like, every week? Does he want to see it in New York? Will he take me with him? I am overwhelmed.
