Fox And Seyfried's Same-sex Kiss

Contact Music has a story about how Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried dreaded their onscreen kiss in upcoming movie Jennifer's Body - because they feared the ensuing media attention would be overwhelming.  I will be more than happy to fuel those fears by covering it here. Who am I to disappoint Megan Fox.

In Jennifer's Body,  Fox plays a sexy cheerleader who shares a passionate kiss with her geeky best friend, played by Seyfried.   Completely unrelated, the movie looks like it will be really good. The movie comes out September 18.


District 9 Locks Down Competition


Peter Jackson's District 9 took the top spot of the U.S. box office, taking $37 million. GI Joe still held strong and place second taking in  $22.5 million. The Time Traveler's Wife took third place with $19.205 million, behind   Other notable movies included G-Force, which took in $6.9 million (fifth place) and Harry Potter, which made $5.16 million (seventh place). Finally, Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo brought in $3.5 million giving the Japanese Anime master his best opening weekend in America (worldwide, Ponto has grossed $187 million).

Meanwhile, Bloody-Disgusting has a rumor that Robert Downey Jr. may play the vampire play Lestat de Lioncourt in a new reboot of the Vampire Chronicles franchise by Anne Rice.  Lestat has previously been played by Tom Cruise (in Interview with a Vampire) and Stuart Townsend (in Queen of the Damned).  He also was played by Hugh Panaro in the Lestat: the Musical made by the great songwriting team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

What would Vampire news be with Twilight News?

According to Robert Pattinson, Twitter has ruined his life.  He blames social networking for letting obsessive fans know his location.  Recently, he was hit by a New York taxi while trying to escape. PR Inside has the story.

Speaking of invasion of privacy, Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been caught kissing in Canada.  This may confirm the rumor started by Jennie Gartrh (who is married to Twilight's Peter Facinelli) that Pattinson was dating one of the cast.  See the pictures and the story at the Examiner.
