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 - "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.*

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.

So this is really old, but it's one of my favorite Kristen interviews. So I'm sharing it with you.
KStew, please just be my friend already.
Great article/interview with Tom Sturridge
Although no novice, Tom Sturridge found himself in uncharted waters filming The Boat That Rocked, Richard Curtis's pirate radio comedy, in an ensemble that included Bill Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
'I'm homeless,' Tom Sturridge declares matter-of-factly as we order coffee in a cafe tucked away behind Brick Lane, east London. 'In between filming I've been staying with friends, here and there. Plans change so quickly, it's hard to know what I'm doing. Next week, I might be going to LA to see a friend, then New York. It's all up in the air.'
Even dressed scruffily in jeans, a check shirt and black hoodie, which give credence to his claims to being of no fixed abode, Sturridge is arrestingly handsome, with piercing blue eyes, ivory skin, a chiselled jaw and a mop of thick dark hair that appears not to have seen a hairbrush for months.
Sitting atop a newspaper on our table is Sturridge's little black book; not the digit directory of potential girlfriends but a private journal into which he writes stories and musings plucked from his imagination. 'I write constantly, about everything,' he enthuses. I don't doubt that it would make a damn good read, as life is currently very exciting for him.
Aged 23, Sturridge is about to appear in his fourth major film: set in the 1960s, The Boat That Rocked is a Working Title ensemble comedy written and directed by Richard Curtis. Landing the part was 'a beautiful moment', not only for Sturridge's career. 'I was in my old flat,' he says. 'My flatmate and I were about to be evicted so we had this big meeting on our kitchen floor – because we had a very small kitchen – saying, "We've got to sort our lives out. We have to get jobs. We have to get some money. Things have got to change." '
Sturridge says that he wasn't sure the film's casting director liked him – or the big beard he was wearing at the time – but Curtis tells a different story: 'We probably saw 70 people for this part over about two months so it was a big relief when we met Tom. He's handsome, but also quirky and charming. We were pretty sure when he walked out of the room that we'd found the right guy.'
Sturridge plays the part of Carl, a freshly expelled 18-year-old sent by his free-spirited mother, Charlotte (Emma Thompson), to visit his godfather Quentin (Bill Nighy) to 'learn about life'. Quentin is the boss aboard Radio Rock, a pirate radio station broadcasting rock'n'roll music 24/7 from a rusty trawler in the North Sea to millions of insatiable rock-deprived Brits, tired of the BBC's conservative offering of only two hours of rock'n'roll a week. Having been largely ignored by his mother and unaware of his father's identity, on board Carl finds himself among an eclectic ensemble of 12 loose-living, rogue DJs, revelling as gods of the airwaves amid the pirate radio revolution of 1966. Leader of the pack is Philip Seymour Hoffman, an enigmatic, brash American known as the Count, whose anarchic co-broadcasters include Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, Chris O'Dowd, Ralph Brown and Rhys Darby. Infuriated by the corrupting influence of Radio Rock – a 'sewer of no morals' – the British Government, headed by Minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh), is hell-bent on silencing this 'rock'n'roll pornography'.
The Boat That Rocked is Curtis's first non-romantic comedy, inspired by his own childhood memories of listening clandestinely on his transistor radio to the broadcasts of pirate stations such as Radio Caroline, anchored just outside British territorial waters before it was shut down by the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act of 1967.
Being an 'intense worrier' by nature and the youngest cast member, Sturridge describes his experience as both exciting and terrifying. 'It definitely took me a while to relax into it,' he says, putting up his hood and smiling awkwardly. But having such huge personalities around him made life a lot easier. His overriding memory of filming The Boat That Rocked was of laughing so much he could hardly breathe. 'There were three handheld cameras filming us all the time,' he says. 'Often there would be eight of us in the room just talking, and very quickly it would develop into improvisation and I'd forget that I was on set. I became immersed in it.'
Sturridge needed regular reality checks. 'There I am, watching Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of my favourite actors in the world, walk into the room dressed up as Father Christmas, being hilarious, and I'm suddenly thinking, "Where am I?"'
According to Curtis, Sturridge more than held his own in the group: 'There's a scene where he had to jump into the freezing-cold North Sea off a very high part of the boat and we, along with the insurers, argued long and hard about whether it was too dangerous for him to jump from that height into such cold water. Tom was completely game and in he jumped. Sadly, we've cut that scene so all of Tom's courage was entirely wasted.'
Sturridge had not done comedy before, which added to the feeling that he was slightly out of his depth – but that was exactly what was required for his character. 'From my point of view it was about a boy sent to live among his heroes, and that was pretty much what I was doing there. I didn't feel I really had to act, I was just reacting to their genius. It was all genuine because I really was in awe of them. I learnt so much just from observation.'
In particular, Sturridge found Curtis 'an impressive and extraordinary person. Working with someone who genuinely believes that the most important things in the world are friendship and love and music, was inspiring.' Curtis's kindness spread through the set, Sturridge says – as did his vast knowledge of 1960s music. 'We would be playing a song during filming and he'd know the album, the garden it was recorded in and what they were drinking on that Tuesday.'
The similarities between Sturridge and Carl extended beyond the set: Sturridge didn't finish school either. 'I left school early in my last year before I took my A-levels,' he explains. 'I wasn't expelled. It was just a mutual understanding. I wasn't interested in going to school and they said, "You're not turning up", so we severed ties. Both sides appreciated it.' And aboard the testosterone-saturated boat, Carl confesses that the nearest he has come to a proper kiss is a lick on the face by a horse. 'That's relatively close to reality, actually,' Sturridge says, feigning shyness. This is hard to believe, despite his claims to be single at present.
Unlike many of his peers, Sturridge doesn't hang out with a thespian crowd, which is surprising given his film industry genes. His father is Charles Sturridge, who directed the original Brideshead Revisited television series as well as films such as A Handful of Dust. His mother is the actress Phoebe Nicholls. 'As children, my siblings and I were actively discouraged from acting,' he says. 'I have no memories of going on set with my parents – aside from Gulliver's Travels.'
During the school summer holidays, when Tom Sturridge was seven, his father was casting for his television series Gulliver's Travels. He wanted a child actor he could talk to and who would respond well to him, so he asked his son to step into the role, despite his total lack of experience. 'All I remember is occasionally having conversations with my father and then someone filming me,' Sturridge says.
He describes his upbringing as very normal and always filled with affection. 'I felt that my decisions, whether good or bad, would always be supported by my parents, because I was loved and respected.' But he confesses to having been an annoying teenager who felt the need to rebel against his parents' mould. 'I didn't want to be a part of that world, in the same way that most kids rebel against what their parents do.' He says he didn't have any ambition to become an actor, not even in school plays.
He stuck to his guns until 2004 when, aged 18, he met the Hungarian film director István Szabó. The father of a friend of his was the casting director for Szabó's film Being Julia, later nominated for an Oscar. They couldn't find anyone to play the part of Roger Gosselyn and Sturridge, who was the right age, was asked to audition. 'It was against my philosophy at the time,' he says, 'but I was obsessed with Szabó when I was younger, mainly because of his film Mephisto. I really wanted to meet him and was really excited by that so I went for it.' Sturridge lived and filmed in Hungary for the summer after his GCSEs, an experience he describes as a 'massive formative moment'. It was the first time in his life someone had chosen him on his own merits, he felt. 'I was incredibly seduced and that's what made me want to be an actor.'
Since then, he has played Jonathan Rhys Meyers's son, Georgy, in Vanity Fair, with Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp. In 2006 he starred in Like Minds, a complex psychological thriller alongside Eddie Redmayne and Toni Collette; 2009 brings The Boat That Rocked and Waiting for Forever, James Keach's independent comedy also starring Rachel Bilson and Richard Jenkins.
As for the future, Sturridge is guarded. 'So many things I thought I was doing have fallen apart. Until I've finished filming I don't believe I have the job.' In 2006 he landed the lead in the sci-fi thriller Jumper only to be replaced two weeks before shooting started by the older and more prominent Hayden Christensen. The life of a rolling stone suits Sturridge down to the ground. 'This is the one time in my life where I don't have too much responsibility – a spouse, children or a mortgage – so I can be free, creatively,' he says.
What he hopes for above fame and glory is to be able to feel proud of his work. He can certainly feel proud of his part in The Boat That Rocked, safe in the knowledge that there is plenty more to come. 'It's very early days,' he agrees, pulling his hood off again. 'But it's exciting, definitely.'

Tom's musical corner
In a recent interview, TomStud was asked what was his favorite music. He answered with the following:
Most people have heard Van Morrison before... so, for people that haven't heard all of the other artists I present you with Tom's Musical Corner :)
Laura Marling (Stella's favorite between all of this)
Mumfords and Sons
Johnny Flynn
Marcus Foster
Bobby Long
Source: SPOILER WARNING FOR THE BOAT THAT ROCKED.
Van Morrison is probably the most important person to me in the world. I can't really go a day without... I've already listened to about four Van Morrison songs this morning. Then as far as contemporary stuff... there's sort of a folk scene in London at the moment, headed by Laura Marlin and a band called Mumford and Sons, and a guy called Johnny Flynn, and a couple of people called Marcus Foster and Bobby Long... I suppose that's what I listen to most.
