Tom owns my soul
The name Tom Sturridge might raise nonplussed looks in some, but, trust Itchy, this guy's gonna be big. Bollocks to those lads from Skins (apart from Dev Patel and his Slumdog millionairedom) – this is the new, well moisturised face of British acting.
Richard Curtis's new comedy The Boat That Rocked throws 23-year-old Sturridge right in at the deep end as a lead in a film which also shows off names like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy and Rhys Ifans.
Itchy met up with Tom at a hotel in Glasgow, an hour later than scheduled, rock star aloofness having swiftly taken hold. Or maybe it was just the traffic. He strolls over, all plaid shirt and stubble.
How've you enjoyed promoting the film?
I'm proud of the film so I don't mind talking to people about it. But I've never done anything like this [a nationwide promotional tour] – it's strange marauding around the country answering questions.
In the film you play a guy that's never really been kissed. Does that ring true in real life?
I'm very familiar with that idea. Nah, I've been kissed, but I definitely relate more to the not being kissed end of the cool spectrum. I wouldn't mind a nice girlfriend. (there are few nice girls that contribute to TwiHigh Tom...just sayin)

Itchy guffaws – what nonsense. But to give him a bit of an ego boost, we tell him that our girlfriend has a bit of a soft spot for him.
Really? What are you saying?!
We offer him her number. He laughs it off, revealing a giggly side. Maybe it's the cosy sofa.
We read that you were supposed to be the lead role in 'Jumper' but were dropped after they wanted a bigger name. How did that come about?
People always ask about this! Originally it was going to be a much smaller film. Me and this Australian girl were the two leads and we went to New York to start rehearsing. But they kept rewriting the script when we got there, and there was talk that it might become a bigger budget film, and in that case we were made aware that they might have to do it with famous people instead. It wasn't a big deal, because there were weeks and weeks of conversation about it, so it wasn't unexpected.
And do you have anything planned for after The Boat That Rocked?
I've just filmed Waiting For Forever, with Rachel Bilson – weirdly, cause she's in Jumper. There's also this guy in it called Richard Jenkins, who got nominated for the best actor Oscar this year. He's amazing. We shot it in four weeks, whereas The Boat That Rocked took three months. It was such hard work – we had to do 16 hour days to get everything done. I always had this instinct just to run away – fortunately I didn't.
Back to The Boat. How was it working on a film with so few girls in it?
There were more girls though, behind the camera! But one of the main themes of the film is friendship, and we did, without being corny, become firm friends – I hope the film captures that.
Was there anyone in particular that you got on well with?
Everyone was cool. Especially Nick [Frost] and Chris [O' Dowd] – on this whole promotional tour it's been the three of us together. We've been doing all these interviews, and I've been sitting around weeping with laughter - cause they're the funniest pair in the entire universe.
At this point, as if sent from above to intervene at the perfect moment, Irishman Chris O' Dowd, who plays Simple Simon in the film, saunters by. 'HERE HE IS, IT'S TOM STURRIDGE OFF THE TV!' he bellows. 'Love the latest album' he quips to Sturridge, before Tom explains a running in-joke in which his co-star introduces him to journalists as 'Tom from the Klaxons'.
'How's the interview going? Is it good?' O' Dowd asks Itchy. ”He's very charming, isn't he?“
O'Dowd stands for a minute or two in front of a tiny lift entrance, a hamburger in his hand, joking with us intermittently, before Sturridge tells him that it's probably a service lift, not a public one. 'Ask me one question!' O' Dowd yelps, and Itchy racks the ol' brain. How does it feel to be alive?
'So fucking good'.
He disappears from sight.
Time's up. Tom shakes Itchy's hand, and is off, probably to do another interview, or to grab some sushi. But most likely he's walking off into impending stardom, bright lights an' all. And Itchy reckons it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. We just hope he doesn't get too big for his boots and steal our girlfriend.

Jackson is back in Killa-delphia
Well, well, well...anyone know of anybody that lives in Killa-delphia or the area? *coughs*
Jackson Rathbone and the cast of M. Knight Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender have thawed out from their two week filming stint in Greenland. They are now back in Pennsylvania where they will be filming in the Reading area (notably the pagoda near Mount Penn) before returning to Philly where Shyamalan prefers to shoot many of his films.
According to town officials:
“They needed buildings to shoot all the interiors,” Shupp said. “They were looking for a group of buildings with high ceilings and specific column spacing. We showed them a number of buildings, but we couldn’t come up with enough to meet their requirements. So the interiors will be shot in Philadelphia (where Shyamalan is based).”
Jackson will be hopping between the New Moon and Last Airbender sets as he is needed for filming. If you need your Jackson fix, look for Jackson on April 8th on Criminal Minds on CBS.
(Kinda Off topic...Criminal Minds is an awesome show and Matthew Gray Gubler is hawtt)

HOLY MOLY!
heres one of BERT I have never seen before. but robbyboo looks extra EX-CITED :)
most likely tommy is waiting on the other side to give him a big hug..... or something more.
Drunkbert? Pissedbert? Tiredbert?
For some reason a little piece of me died for him when I saw this pic.
From Lainey: A tenacious fan in Vancouver spotted Robert Pattinson recently. Her efforts paid off. Two blocks later she found herself in an elevator with him and asked for a photo. He shook her hand but didn’t say anything else. As you can see, he’s wearing his uniform. And looks sleepy. Late nights, I guess.
Another pic from last night:
Check out Robsessed for the story and another pic.

FemmeFatale - "I'm watching Twilight. Baahahahhahha. Fucking pathetic."
Elitist - "Omg stfu. Pahahahahahahahh, I'm about to watch it too. Like I'm literally pressing play. Pahahaah, awww we are pathetic. But umm, why couldn't Bert be in DE for my birthday so I could invite him to party with me? Cause I would have."
FemmeFatale - "Bahaha truth. How the fuck do you get Bert in an elevator and only get a pic? You better have some DNA of him on you. Or in you."
*Approximately 2 minutes passes where Elitist doesn't say anything cause she is crying so hard from laughing, that she can't see.*
Elitist - "Pahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Truth."
Jizzable
Well ladies...Who would you like to have on their back? SexBert or Kellan? Please let us us know...
Special K interview....heart her.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — It used to be easier to live a secret life growing up.
You could leave home, disappear from the radar, have different circles of friends, and spend that hidden time figuring out who you are. Now, every move, every mistake, every shift in personality is Twittered, Facebooked, MySpaced, texted and tracked via an elaborate network of cellphones and websites.
That's how Kristen Stewart sees it. She became entrenched in the electronic babble when she became a superstar last year playing lovelorn good-girl Bella opposite smoldering vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson) in Twilight, the blockbuster adaptation of the best-selling novels.
The actress, 18, gets to explore what her life might have been like laying low a generation ago in Adventureland, opening Friday. The coming-of-age comedy about a girl and a guy who fall in love while toiling for the summer at a run-down amusement park is set in 1987 — three years before Stewart was born.
The teenage characters drink, smoke weed, lie to everyone (especially members of the opposite sex) and try their best to avoid abstinence (usually a reason for the lying).
"Movies like Adventureland remind you of a time my parents talk about when they were younger, when it seems like they were so much more independent," says Stewart, sitting in a beachside restaurant, her back to the ocean. "My dad was living on his own when he was 18. My mom was out (of the house) before she even graduated high school." Sometimes she wants to ask them: "God, do you guys realize —"
Her folks both got into show business, working behind the scenes. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor, and her father, John, is a producer and stage manager. She also has an older brother, Cameron.
Parents today, she says, "are incredibly hands-on." Then she is quick to clarify: "Not that my parents are overbearing or anything. … Now it's a little different because I'm getting older, but a few years ago, if my parents didn't know where I was at a given time, that's sort of unacceptable. And it's very easy to track you down, considering."
It's not just ever-present parenting that makes growing up harder. It's your friends — and yourself, she says. Everyone is complicit in their own surveillance, especially young people, who chronicle their lives obsessively, maybe seeking validation, which is still no easier to find.
'Everyone knows who you are'
"
You're so connected to people and they all know how to get to you, and everyone knows who you are, so explicitly. They think they know you. It's like, 'You really think you know me? I don't know me! How do you know I'm not different around someone else?' " Her voice gets a little loud, and she slumps back in her chair.
"It almost makes the secrets more important, those few things you actually do choose to keep to yourself," she says quietly.
Right now, Stewart may be Hollywood's only real teenager playing girls who are moody, reckless, cautiously sexual but still awkward, and more self-reliant than many parents would like to acknowledge.
Other stars her age tend to fall either into the fantasy realm of the squeaky-clean Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers variety, or play teens who seem more like they're established jet-setters, as with the campy-fun Gossip Girl.
Stewart has earned both praise and criticism for being a kind of sulky girl on-screen — the kind you can see sleeping until noon, getting into a fight with her parents and running away, only to try sneaking back in just past curfew.
Crooked games, misfit friends
In Adventureland, she's a bit of a rebel playing Em, a quiet but tough girl who works one of the crooked games at the theme park. Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale) stars as uptight James, a fellow lost soul and minimum-wage slave who tries to work up the courage to win over Em as they both grapple with fractured families, misfit friends and hostile parkgoers.
As James draws closer to her, he discovers that there are as many different Ems as there are giant stuffed pandas in his games booth. "For Em, no part of her lives are connected," Stewart says. "She is a different person in every one of the circumstances."
Adventureland was written and directed by Greg Motolla (Superbad, The Daytrippers), who based it on his own experiences working at a theme park of the same name on New York's Long Island.

He says the girl in the story "needed to be complicated and needed to be truly conflicted. We needed an actress who can convey a really believable sense of strength," he says. "I knew with Kristen that character wouldn't just be a brat. With Kristen, you can't dismiss her that easily. She's no pushover."
Em maybe isn't much of a role model, but the actress says there is something true about her, and beautiful, in a way the character doesn't even realize. "They are both unaware of how cool they are; they don't feel worthy," she says of the main characters. "I feel like it's a pretty common thing."
Stewart could be a case study. Feeling worthy of media attention appears to be a struggle. At the start of the interview, she says she's bad at this — talking about her movies, and herself.
"Really, I'm incredibly disjointed and not candid," she says. "Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don't necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find, like, the linear path. But it will take a second. That's why these interviews never go well for me."
It's why she has been slammed by some reporters and why she had what some considered a disastrous interview with David Letterman for Twilight.
She has a reputation of being cranky, or a bit aloof. But over the course of about two hours, she reveals a kind of insecurity. She tries to say something, thinks it's coming out wrong, stops and starts again, then finally gets frustrated — and clams up.
Another thing that makes her stop in mid-sentence: teenage girls. A group enters the restaurant, and Stewart abruptly shuts up until they pass. She apologizes, a little embarrassed, and whispers: "If those type of girls saw me talking about Twilight, you don't understand. If I said 'Jacob' too loud, they'd be like —" She makes her eyes wide and sticks her hands out like claws.
"More than three girls of that certain age — run away," she says, laughing as the threat settles in a distant part of the patio. "Girls are scary. Large groups of girls scare the (crap) out of me."
She says Pattinson gets it worse. "They covet him. I think half of them are so jealous that they hate me," she jokes.
It doesn't help that many Twilight-ers want her and Pattinson to be a real-life couple. She's actually dating Michael Angarano, 21, whom she co-starred with in the 2004 drama Speak.

"It doesn't make my relationship harder. It's not like, 'Maybe I should be with (Pattinson) to make them happy and it'll make me more popular!' " Stewart laughs, adding that her real boyfriend "is totally not a threatened guy. But, dude, it sucks."
Why the adoration?
Why the adoration?
But Stewart is mostly grateful for Twilight — though she doesn't think she did anything special.
"I'm really proud of Twilight. I think it's a good movie. It was hard to do, and I think it turned out pretty good. But I don't take much credit for it. So when you show up at these places, and there's literally like a thousand girls and they're all screaming your name, you're like, why? You don't feel like you deserve it."
One person who thinks Stewart did contribute a lot to Bella is Twilight author Stephenie Meyer. The character is regarded by some as overly passive, letting her vampire paramour take control, but Meyer says Stewart, currently shooting series sequel New Moon, gives the character an inner forcefulness.
"Kristin does a version of Bella that's very strong. And you can see that what she's doing is maturely thought out," Meyer says. "In a lot of ways she's a little bit impetuous, but you get the sense that she's very adult about what she's doing. She comes across as a girl who's very serious and who happens to know what she wants."
That also describes Stewart as she navigates her way to adulthood, on-screen and off. Unlike her Adventureland character, she's not able to hide any of it.
