Breaking Robert Pattinson News

I mean, is it even possible for this dude to look more dead sexy? I like his newly shorn 'do even better. What say you? Tell me in the comments. Thanks, Daneen, for the tip!

Hilar.

Not likely!

P.S. I recently read that the steamy Henry Cavill of The Tutors fame was the Edward Stephenie Meyer envisioned to play Edward. He's the ONLY person I can imagine in the role other than Rob P.

Lipstick of a Vampire

Mystery solved: commenter Yinyan so graciously pointed out (per the Sephora Blog) that Robert Pattinson (and the rest of the Cullens) are wearing Benefit Full Finish Lipstick in Ms. Behavin ($18), a deep, plummy purple. The Sephora blog has full details, including what shade was used on Kristen Stewart.

Twilight Thoughts

Hey girls!

I saw Twilight on Friday and am semi-embarrassed to report I'm going to go see it a second time tonight in a couple of hours with Jamie. If you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want to be privy to any spoilers, (that means you, Julia!) here's where you should stop reading.

It was FANTASTIC overall. Seriously. Robert Pattinson fans will literally swoon for a full two hours. His accent is sort of unidentifiably hot - he covers up his British lilt well and comes up with one that's unique, but passes for one from another era. And his VOICE. It surpasses that of Kiefer Sutherland, who previously, I would have commandeered him to read me the phone book. It's to die. I die. Everyone dies. Even he dies and then returns as a vampire for all eternity because it's truly the love child of cashmere and velvet.

I'm also on a mission to find out what lip stain was used on his lips. It's kind of phenom. Some of my friends have remarked that they thought the washed out complexions were a bit much, but that didn't bother me. Yes, they were pale - remarkably so. But I have to say, it's a hue that I've achieved NATURALLY when I've been seriously hungover. I left the movie thinking, know what? These are my PEOPLE. I'm taking a mini-vaca from bronzer. It's okay to embrace my ridic levels of pale for five minutes.

Here's what I didn't love: the casting of Jasper and Rosalie.

Jasper: I think he mistakenly thought he was playing the part of Edward Scissorhands. Seriously, dude was so awkward and looked like he was rocking a back brace, in the words of my friend Jenn. I couldn't stop laughing every time he made an appearance. I'm pretty sure that wasn't intentionally hilar.

Rosalie was played by the very gorgeous star of Thirteen (another Catherine Hardwicke movie), Nikki Reed. Nikki is a dusky beauty with whom I'm very impressed because she hasn't succumbed to the stick-thin, ubiquitous Hollywood body type. But she sure as heckfire isn't the willowy blonde Stephenie Meyer described in her books. I give that one a feh, dolls. It's pretty obv that Catherine simply cast her in the role because they're friends - and because Nikki wrote the script for Thirteen.

Other than that, the cast worked for me. Peter Facinelli was impressive in the role of Carlisle Cullen, despite the fact that every time he appeared onscreen, all I wanted to do was be all, "AmanDUH" (as he said in the opus of cinematic genius, Can't Hardly Wait.)

Setwise, Bella's room seemed off and a bit small to me. The "dazzling in the meadow" scene actually took place in a forest. For me, it didn't quite work. I needed a bit more light, more reflection of the light off of Edward's MARBLE bod, and more open space, as it was described in the book. But the way they made his skin look like diamonds was impressive.

Did you see the movie this weekend? What did you think? Tell me in the comments!

Here's a photo from the premiere last night. Robert Pattinson looks delectable, as always and Kristen Stewart is glowing in all her Dior makeup glory.

Carol Enters the Twilight Zone. Without Me.

OMG, gals. Have I got a story for YOU.

So you know I am deeply, deeply into Twilight's Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward in the movie. Yesterday, he made an appearance at Hot Topic at the King of Prussia (KOP) mall, a mere 15 minutes from where I grew up in suburban Philly. I ADORED growing up there... but I was so ready to leave when I did in 1998 to move first to Boston to attend college and then to New York in 2002 after I graduated. I love to go home to surburban Philly for weekends, holidays, etc. But never ONCE in ten years have I thought to myself, self? I'd LOVE to be 215-ing it up right now whilst flitting about at fabu NYC event. Yesterday, circa 5pm, that was the exactly what happened.

Daneen and I had spent ALL day emailing back and forth about Robert Pattinson's impending KOP arrival. I was telling her she HAD to get there. She wanted to, but couldn't leave work AND drive the 30 minutes from Center City to the 'burbs by the ripe hour of 5. It was truly tragic. TRAGE. Anyway, so I try to get on with my lifestyle. I head to a fab event where I met Redken stylist/creative consultant Guido (who is HILAR - seriously, he is in my top five fave stylists group). Stay tuned for my interview with him, BTW.

While I'm there, my mother calls me like, four times. She does this, my mother. I think it's a Jewish mother requisite. She simply calls until she gets me on the phone. Does this happen to anyone else? PLEASE tell me in the comments if it does so I can feel less ridic. I get home around 9pm, and when I finally have a chance to call her back, I'm sort of frantic because, like every other time, I think maybe something's HAPPENED this time and I'm some sort of jerk for ignoring four calls in a row because maybe someone's in the hospital, etc. P.S. Never has there been an emergency. She's always just called four times in a row to ask me something like whether I would like her to renew my New Yorker subscription this year.

This is the world's longest story. So anyway, when I reach her, she tells me how she had this coupon for a shoe store that's only in the King of Prussia mall. "The Plaza," she said. "Not the Court. You wouldn't BELIEVE the crowds." All of a sudden, I realize that my MOTHER unwittingly just HAPPENED to be the EXACT place I'd been DYING to be all day. Behold the dialogue:
Mom: It was pandemonium! There were so many girls crowding up the place for some guy who's going to be in some teen movie-
Me: MOM. YOU WERE IN THE MALL WITH EDWARD???
Mom: Oh, you know who he is? I had to ask another shopper-
Me: DID YOU SEE HIM?
Mom: No, I escaped to an Israeli kiosk, where I bought the most wonderful flatiron and hairspray.

In the words of Rachel Zoe, I die. Is that not BANANAS?

Dazzle Like Edward in the Meadow with These Products

Dolls, if you're not into Twilight, I'm just SORRY this week because it's ALL I can talk about. As you probably know, when I'm into something, I'm INTO something. I read all about it. I buy all the paraphernalia. I bring it up out of the clear blue sky at dinner parties. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's all-consuming. I haven't had such a case of the vapors over a fictional dude since watching Michael Vartan play Michael Vaugn in Alias last January. And before that, it was LOST, but mostly LOST's Dr. Jack Shepard (played by Matthew Fox). I truly have a thing for male figments of JJ Abrams' imagination. Well, let's be serious, I'm STILL 100% consumed with LOST, but this week (and probably next week, leading up to the November 21st premiere, to which I've already purchased tickets on Fandango) it's all Twilight all the time. Let's learn how to achieve a dazzling glow a la Edward in the meadow, shall we? Two products come to mind.

NP Set Liquid Veil ($15)

I love the pearlescent quality of this highlighter when combined with a drop of foundation. It's also phenom when used on the bridge of the nose and on the brow bone. Its anti-oxidant rich pomegranate extract protects skin as an added bonus. Be gleamy!

ModelCO Luminosity Shimmer Stick ($28)

Like Napoleon Perdis, creator of NP Set, ModelCO's founder Shelley Barrett also hails from Australia. Use this Shimmer Stick and be the mayor of Luminah City. Get it? I lurve it for decorating eyes, lips and décolletage with a shimmery peachy pink. It provides a sexy flush of color for a healthy, rosy complexion that compliments any skin tone. Best of all? ModelCo Luminosity Shimmer Stick is an oil-free formulation that doesn't clog pores. You'll adore it.




P.S. Just TRY to be productive today with this link to 93 pics I found of the movie here. As my gal Daneen says, can you not hang OFF of Robert Pattinson's cheekbones?

An RPatz/Edward Cullen ACTION FIGURE?

This has nothing to do with beauty, beauties, but I HAD to pass along this little gem of an action figure sold at Hot Topic for $17. He IS wearing my fave grey jacket from the movie, but it says that he comes with "full articulation." What in the hell does that mean? Obv, he doesn't talk. His mouth is PAINTED ON. And I love his Cullen family crest he comes with. Thanks to Tamron for the heads up!
