Lutz, 26, told MTV, “I just feel bad for the women on the movie. They’re wearing these beautiful dresses, but they’re skintight, and of course a lot of us are playing vampires so you have to not shiver, because vampires don’t get cold. “It was tough. It was really cold. A lot of times, the heaters went off and it rained, so it made the whole climate even colder.”

We’ve been doing it for so long.” But with the final instalment Breaking Dawn split into two parts, Ashley said she will still get to see her cast members regularly for the foreseeable future, until part two is released in 2012. “For two years, we’re going to have these movies coming out and press tours and all that stuff, and premieres,” she explained. “So the nice thing about that is that we know we are going to see each other over the next two years. It’s not as hard to finish out the franchise.”

Taking to MTV for ‘Moulin Rouge at 10′, a tribute to mark its ten-year anniversary, he said, “There was a real buzz about it. Everyone knew about Moulin Rouge before I met with [director] Baz [Luhrmann]. “I had never sung like I was expected to sing for Moulin Rouge, where the singing was a part of the storytelling and not just part of the character.” And his favourite part was performing The Tango of Roxanne. “There’s something really desperate and fantastic about the tango,” he added. “And I’ll never forget walking down through the rows of dancers really upset and singing. That was fantastic.”
The Twilight movie Eclipse and Inception are leading the way in the nominations for this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Nominations for the annual ceremony were revealed last night, and the popularity of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s vampire franchise showed. The third film in the series was nominated for a massive eight awards. Closely behind was Christopher Nolan’s flick Inception, with seven nominations. Facebook movie The Social Network received five nominations, while ballet thriller Black Swan received four. The ceremony, which is being hosted by Saturday Night Live star Jason Sudeikis, is set to take place on June 5 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
The filmmakers behind hit movie Black Swan are denying a dancer’s allegation that she performed almost all of the ballet moves attributed to Natalie Portman. Sarah Lane, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre who worked as Portman’s dance double, claims the 29-year-old star only did about five percent of the full body shots seen in the movie. Lane has also alleged that producers pressured her to downplay her involvement. But now Fox Searchlight and filmmakers have released a joint statement, which reads: “We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.” The No Strings Attached star, who has yet to comment on the issue, won an Oscar for her performance in the film.
A cross-eyed possum in Germany is predicting this year’s Oscar winners. Following in the footsteps of Paul the Octopus – who predicted the World Cup football results — Heidi the possum is giving her tips for the Academy Awards. Each day the cute marsupial is being released in a pen, where she comes face to face with a row of fake Oscar statuettes. Whichever statue she touches with her paw first signifies the winner in that category. Last night (Tuesday) Heidi picked Black Swan star Natalie Portman to take home the Best Actress award. The possum made Portman her chosen one after sniffing around the trophies and walking in and out of her box. The hilarious footage was broadcast on Jimmy Kimmel’s US chat show. A picture of each actress was taped to each statuette — complete with cross eyes to make Heidi feel at home. Heidi, who is believed to be two-and-a-half-years-old, was abandoned outside an animal shelter in North Carolina in the United States with her sister Naira, and has been living at Leipzig Zoo in Germany since May last year.

The 38-year-old actress, who starred in the 2000 remake and its 2003 follow-up alongside Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, said that she would love to make another instalment. But she fears that if it did get the go-ahead, film bosses might decide to replace them with a new batch. She told E! Online, “I would love to! Of course I would. Why wouldn’t I? It’d be fun! “I don’t know if we’ll do it. I mean, we played the movie as the new crop of Charlie’s Angels and we never were trying to be or pretend we were the other girls (from the TV show). So it might just be time for a new crop of girls to come on.”
