Bill Condon talks about Edwards Breaking Dawn back story
One of the key additions made by Bill Condon, Melissa Rosenberg, and the rest of the filmmakers on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 was "Edward's" backstory.
In the beginning - the night before he's set to marry "Bella" (Kristen Stewart) - "Edward" (Robert Pattinson) feels as though she must know the truth about his history . . . namely, that he's killed people before and considers his former actions to be those of a monster.
Bill Condon has talked to us about this addition before, noting that the scene came from a conversation he had with Robert Pattinson over a few beers.
The first time I met with Rob we had a long great night, many, many, many beers [laughter] and um, he said that one thing that had frustrated him a little is that—I guess that had been more developed in the first book, that was from Edward’s point of view, and it kind of informed the way he was playing the part throughout the whole movie. This sense of self-loathing and guilt that came from having killed humans for that period and yet, it had never been explored in the movies. So it felt like then I went back and looked at the section that described it in Twilight and I felt like, God, what better time right before a wedding to lay out the last objection, you know?Source: http://www.examiner.com
"Breaking Dawn" Star Tinsel Korey Dishes On Robert Pattinson
Pattinson Online caught up with
Rob’s Breaking Dawn co-stars at the LA premiere, and we [they] just
had to ask: What is Rob really like on the set?
“He’s a sweetheart… It’s interesting, you’re a part of this big film, and
you’d think that those guys would have egos, but they don’t. They’re really
down-to-earth, and I think that’s great.” – Tinsel Korey (Emily)

Ashley Greene's interview with The Hollywood Reporter
With the beginning of the end of the vampire saga in theatres now, the actress reflects on the experience and discusses what's to come for her career.
Since she was cast in 2008, Ashley Greene has had the job of stepping into one of the most beloved characters from Stephenie Meyer’s The Twilight Saga novels. As Alice Cullen, she plays Edward’s (Robert Pattinson) closest sibling and possibly Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) fiercest protector next to him and Jacob (Taylor Lautner).
As with any film series based on novels with a rabid fan base, the responsibility must weigh heavily on an actress. For 24-year-old Greene, that seems especially true.
“This was my first real job as an actor and in a million years, I never could have dreamed up what Twilight would become,” Greene tells The Hollywood Reporter.
“I got a crash course in Hollywood, getting to work with four amazing directors, learning the ups and downs of the industry, and growing both personally and professionally,” she continues. “It gave all of us a springboard for our careers and the most amazing and passionate fan base we could imagine. You can't take one second of an experience and an opportunity like this for granted. I still wake up every day pinching myself."
On the eve of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1’s massive opening weekend, Greene opened up to THR about the film’s success, her experience being a part of the phenomenon, and what fans can expect from her next.
The Hollywood Reporter: What's your reaction to Breaking Dawn Part 1 debuting as the fifth biggest domestic box office opening of all time?
Ashley Greene: It was an overwhelming mix of emotions - intense excitement, awe, gratitude to the fans, and definitely a bit of relief! Even with a film like Twilight, you're still nervous each time. I never take our incredible fan base for granted. Without their continual support of the films and us, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to finish out the saga. We truly have the best fans in the world, and this weekend just drives that point home.
THR: Have you been able to speak with your fellow actors about the opening yet?
I was at a magazine shoot all day [Sunday], so unfortunately not yet! Ironically, this weekend was the first time in a month that I've been apart from my cast mates, since the press tour just ended on Friday. I'm sure we'll all chat later this week and celebrate next time we're together.
THR: Let’s talk about some of the most talked-about scenes of the latest film. Were you shocked at how graphic Bella's birth scene was?
Greene: It was a bit hard to watch at points, but overall, I think [director] Bill Condon was extremely sensitive and conscientious of our younger audience. He had the difficult job of staying true to the book without turning off a major sector of our audience. I think he did a good job of balancing that task.
THR: Can you describe the lengths the production went to in order to keep Bella's wedding dress under wraps?
Greene: We were literally under wraps! All of us, but most importantly Kristen, wore sacks when we were shuttled to and from the set. There were helicopters and paparazzi everywhere -- it was a massive covert operation to keep it all a secret!
THR: Did the wedding scenes live up to your expectations?
Greene: Absolutely. As a fan of the series myself, I've been waiting four years for this moment, just like everyone else. It was magical watching the words on the pages of the book and script transform into this beautiful, live-action moment. The scene holds a lot of weight and was also special, because it was shot on the last days of filming.
THR: Alice has to do some fighting and she’s very acrobatic. How much of your stunts and fighting scenes do you actually get to do?
Greene: I did almost all of my own stunts, which I loved. We worked with fantastic stunt trainers and I took to it quickly, in part because I did martial arts and dance growing up. The most challenging thing about Alice's stunts is that she's supposed to fight with an immense amount of agility and grace, like a dancer. Try moving like that while doing cartwheels in the air, on wires, over a mock wolf!
THR: Do you feel that the films could have included more of Alice's backstory?
Greene: I would have loved to explore Alice's backstory. But luckily, our fans know everything there is to know about our characters and their backstories -- more than us in some cases! So, I have faith that they understand what shaped the character of Alice, and why she is the way she is, without having seen her backstory come to life on screen.
THR: How do they portray Renesmee's (Mackenzie Foy) advanced growth and supernatural intelligence in the next film?
Greene: If I told you, I'd have to kill you! The truth is, the fans already know the thru line of Breaking Dawn Part 2 thanks to the book, so we're trying hard to keep what we can a secret, so they can savor the experience of the last film. What I will say is that they won't be disappointed!
THR: What are you most looking forward to seeing in the final film?
Greene: I'm excited to see the big battle sequence between the vampires and the Volturi. A lot of that was shot on green screen, so I'll be watching it for the first time along with the fans.
THR: You have several upcoming projects. What was the best part of filming the horror movie, The Apparition?
Greene: The Apparition was my first studio lead, so it was very cool to be on set every day, in almost every scene, watching first-hand how the film played out from start to finish. I learned a lot about myself as an actor, and about what goes on behind the camera.
THR: How's your recently announced Pan Am role different from what you've done before? What's Michael Mosley [who plays co-pilot Ted Vanderway] like to work with?
Greene: Pan Am is my first experience shooting an arc on a television series. TV is very different from film, so I'm enjoying that new experience. And I've never played a character from the 60s before. It's a fascinating role to step into, experiencing everything from the wardrobe to the political and social issues of that era. So far, I've only shot a couple scenes with Michael, but he's fantastic to play opposite of, and was very welcoming to the new girl!
THR: What was the main difference between shooting TV over films?
Greene: The biggest difference is probably the time. With TV, you shoot through the episodes at a pretty rapid pace, so there isn't as much time to talk through your character and the scenes with the director as there is in film. On a movie, you might spend months prepping a character and breaking down each scene. It's not that one forum is better or worse, it's just a different experience. It's taught me the value of exploring both film and TV as I grow professionally.
THR: Would you consider becoming a regular on a TV series?
Greene: For me, it's always about my connection with the character and the story. If the right role comes along, be it film or TV, I'd go after it wholeheartedly.
THR: What kind of role would you like to do?
Greene: There's no one specific role I'd love to do because I'm excited by the prospect of diversifying my roles. In Butter, I got to dabble in comedy for the first time, and in Olivia Twisted, the film I just signed onto, I'm jumping headfirst into a darker, grittier, more action-packed role. The most important thing to me when choosing a role is finding a connection to the character and the story. Other than that, I'm open to whatever comes my way!
THR: The American Music Awards were just on. Did you have any favorites among the AMA nominees? What was your favorite moment?
Greene: Sadly, I didn't get to watch this year. But I'm listening to Adele on repeat these days, so a big congrats to her on all her nominations!

David Cronenberg talks casting Rob in Cosmopolis
The infamous birth scene in “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ may have drawn comparisons to the work of director David Cronenberg, but star Robert Pattinson got to work with the auteur for real in the upcoming “Cosmopolis,” an adaptation of the novel by Don DeLillo.
The role represents a dynamic shift from the character fans around the world know Pattinson for, Edward Cullen, but Cronenberg, when he spoke with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz, explained that the choice was nothing more than the normal casting process.
“You start with the basics. How old is he? What does he look like? Is the character very nerdy? Is he handsome and devilish?” Cronenberg said. “Is he an intellectual? You think about all these things and you think about the actors who could possibly project the things that you need from this character.”
Once Cronenberg had a list of potential candidates for the “Ulysses”-inspired protagonist, Eric Packer, it is important to consider a star’s profile in order to get the proper funding for the film. Cronenberg said that it takes an actor with a name like Pattinson to get his movies made.
After judging Pattinson’s interest in the project and working around his schedule, it was clear to Cronenberg that he was the man for the job. “Ultimately, I felt he was the guy. Once again, intuition,” he said. “I saw his movies, including ones maybe his Twi-Hard fans don’t know about, like ‘Little Ashes.’ Maybe they saw ‘Remember Me,’ I’m not sure.”
As for Pattinson’s “Twilight” reputation, it’s something Cronenberg acknowledges. “I can’t pretend that I’m not aware of that. This is an unusual jump for him. He said it himself. It’s scary,” Cronenberg said, adding that it’s the scary part of it that makes it worthwhile. “It’s a scary thing because he’s never really had to carry a movie quite that way before, totally on his own,” he said. “He’s in every scene. He’s almost in every shot, so scary for him, but for an actor, scary is good. You don’t want to be bored. You don’t want to be too confident.”
The question that will be on everyone’s minds who goes to see the film may ultimately be, “Can the ‘Twilight’ kid actually act?” Cronenberg was quick to cast any doubt aside. “Really, he’s fantastic. He’s sensational,” he said. “Really, I’m telling you. He’s a great actor. It’s obvious in the movie. It’s not like maybe yes, maybe no. It’s obvious.”

Robs interview with Empire Online
Are you happy to say goodbye to Twilight? And what has its impact been on our culture?
I guess I’m happy to move on, but it was nice to have good closure. I found Edward quite a restrictive character but in Breaking Dawn he kind of loosens up about everything. I mean, it’s almost impossible not to when you’re delivering babies and, you know, Bella is dying and all this stuff is happening. You can’t play it the same, and that was nice. It was nice to have arguments and things as Edward, which seemed very unusual. But um, what’s its contribution to the culture? Well one of the main things, which obviously the books did but the movies helped, was just getting young people reading again. Harry Potter started this thing, but anything which gets kids reading, it helps. As soon as you start reading one series then you start reading a bunch of other stuff. Just in terms of the film industry as well, I think Twilight showed that you can have a female audience for something and it does well.
What about its perception of romance?
I think it’s a fairly traditional romance. I have never understood the fascination with vampires though. I mean, people are obsessed and I don’t know why. I know the history of it; I find it interesting to think there are true stories of things in, say, Romania. I like all the conspiracy theory aspects of it, but I guess when doing Twilight that is why all the vampire people hate us, because we didn’t have fangs, don’t get burnt in the sunlight or anything. I didn’t really have to do any research about vampires.
How was it shooting the films back to back? Was there a different kind of feel to it doing two movies?
Yeah, it felt like a long time when we were shooting it. Also, at the beginning we were a lot less stressed than we were before. It became stressful later, when we suddenly realized we were basically shooting these two films. It became even more work in the end than normal, but for the first couple of months it was like “Eh, we got 8 months! This is easy!”.
So it turned out to be rather a lot?
It’s a lot! Especially when you are splitting them up, so you’re playing scenes from like 260 pages [apart]. Sometimes we would switch between the two movies during one day, and it’s a completely different mentality from the first one to the second one. So it was kind of complicated.
You become a father in this film. Did you discover any paternal instincts? Do you get on well with kids.
Only some kids! If it’s an annoying kid, I don’t get on with them. But I like babies, I like doing the scenes with babies. There were quite a lot of them as well, so that was fun. It’s just so different from a Twilight movie, because the main problem with stage the scenes is, because we are all vampires we don’t do anything, you don’t fidget, you don’t put your hands in your pockets, you never do anything! You have nothing to do all day, so it’s very difficult to think, “How do I do this scene without just standing here?” And as soon as you have a baby involved, you have to respond. Everyone suddenly just breaks all of their standards.
Did you ask for advice of how to act like a dad?
With a baby I think it’s pretty instinctive. I mean, everybody looks freaked out, especially guys. And all woman immediately are like “Ooo, we know exactly what to do” and guys think they are going to break it all the time.
Did it make you feel more grown up?
Yeah, definitely! Having the wedding ring on and having like a baby, you’re like, “Jesus Christ! 40 already!”
Did you goof up on set?
I’m almost certain I did. There is a bunch of ridiculous stuff: in any kind of fantasy movie you end up looking ridiculous so much of the time, especially doing fight scenes when you’re not actually doing a fight scene, because it is PG-13 and because they don’t have like fights, they are all trying to pull each other’s heads off!
Is there something you did like about Edward?
I thought he was great. The annoying thing about him is that that the fans’ perception of him is that he’s this perfect guy, but whenever I read the books, he doesn’t seem like the perfect guy at all. I wanted to play his flaws, but then you have this subliminal idea coming from everywhere saying: “No, he’s got to be perfect!” but you can’t play perfect! Perfect is someone with loads of flaws, and then you stuck in this funny little loop. But it was interesting playing this one because I really didn’t like a lot of Edward’s actions in Breaking Dawn, and it’s nice to play actions where you think: “Oh, he’s doing the wrong thing.”
Can you give an example of that?
I mean, he is just very selfish at the end and gets ruled by his emotions. His heart is running him instead of his head, which is the opposite of all the other movies. He’s always trying to plan ahead, but he becomes much more impulsive and doesn’t feel permanently guilty. He feels like he has been wronged when he hasn’t been wronged at all.
What part of you is like Edward and what part of you is most unlike Edward?
I always feel guilty about everything; that’s quite similar to Edward. And, I don’t know, he always thinks he’s doing the right thing, he always thinks he knows what is going on and I never feel like I know what is going on or doing the right thing!
Do you regret, despite the perks of getting roles through this, being in the limelight sometimes?
I mean, yeah. I guess everybody’s got something to complain about, no matter what their life is, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons! It’s annoying, like, trying to find somewhere to live, because you are literally thinking about things like you are a fugitive, or a CIA undercover operative or something; you are genuinely worried about spies. Trying to find a house, you’re like ‘What’s the street parking like? Can people see in? I can’t have people park outside!’. You can’t have anyone cleaning your place, and you have to worry about your guests and stuff just in case someone talks about where you live. It’s crazy.
Do you think it’s temporary? Will that change after the movies are done?
I don’t know. I mean, it’s obviously great that people are excited about it. It’s really the gossip magazines and paparazzi. It’s allowing people to stalk you for money. Hopefully the News Of The World thing’s going to destroy that whole culture.
Because Edward is so serious, we don’t see him laugh or smile a lot. What roles does Hollywood offer you now? Would you like to do comedy?
I guess your offers are really only dependent on what people perceive your audience to be. It doesn’t really matter who you are. People assume, “Oh, he will bring in teenage girls!”. Even though the majority of the audience for Twilight is older, people have the perception that it is young girls because they are the ones who turn up to the premieres and stuff. But I don’t know, people just assume you can bring women in so that they give you roles where he’s the romantic hero, which I don’t think I can do particularly. I didn’t think I could do before Twilight, and I still don’t really see myself that way.
Would you like to be in more of an action movie?
It’s strange, there’s sort of a mentality where it seems like every single actor eventually does a big hit movie and then they are in an army movie afterwards. It’s just the obvious choice. I think it is something to do with playing sports: if you play sports in school and you’re a guy and you become an actor, those are the films you do. I hated playing team sports, so the idea of hanging around only with only a bunch of guys for three months, it’s just like…no!
Are you still playing music?
Yeah I still write a lot. I would love to be able to do gigs again, but it just seems weird, I don’t know. The best thing about playing music live is that you go in and people are sitting there waiting for something to to happen, whereas now I walk into a room and most people are either expecting something or they want to shit on it. As soon as you walk in you can feel the energy, so it kind of affects the performance, it doesn’t make it so enjoyable.
When you were younger were you as crazy about any actors as teenagers are about you now?
Umm. Before I even wanted to become an actor I was obsessed with Jack Nicholson. I never even thought of being an actor, but I used to watch his movies and literally copy his clothes. I used to buy all these movies and I never put two-and-two together that I wanted to act.

Under a confidentiality agreement that designer Michael Shettel jokes was “signed in blood.” The company, which used undisclosed code names for the Twilight dress project, limited its circle of principals involved to only about four people, the designer said. Mr. Shettel was also invited to the Los Angeles movie set to view the original dress.
The gown, which retails for $799 at Alfred Angelo stores nationwide, features long lace-trimmed sleeves, a Chantilly-inspired lace applique trim and a plunging cut-out illusion back. While the cinematic gown is in silk, the replica gown uses liquid satin. “The stitching on the bodice is the same, and the lace detailing is similar,” Mr. Shettel says. “There were pricing issues to try to get it down to $799. That was the biggest issue more than design issues.

Mia Maestro's interview with Twilight Poison
There's a lot of fans from Mexico, Venezuela... Did you meet them? Did you
get to talk to them?Mia: Yes, there's fans from Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico. It'ssuch an international group of people.
Had you seen anything like this before?
Mia: Yes and no. Sometimes. I mean, I've been at huge festivals like Cannes,but these fans are so special because they know everything.They know the story so well, they know the characters so well; they're sopassionate for the story that is quite impressive.
And how do you feel about singing the first song ever in the Twilight saga
in Spanish?
Mia: It's so exciting. I'm so excited to be part of the soundtrack. It's an
album that put together so many artists that I admire, so I'm really
excited.
And how did the collaboration happen with the soundtrack? How were you
asked to sing a song with the same title as Bruno Mars?
Mia: The same song as who?
No, the same title as Bruno's song. Your titles are practically the same
thing but the style is the opposite!
Mia: The complete opposite, and the song title thing is actually a coincidence,
Bruno's "It Will Rain" and "Lloverá"... I actually think the soundtrack
people didn't even realize that the titles said the same thing
Bill Condon heard my songs, my album comes out next year, and he took all
the songs and told me that he would see if any of the songs could fit into
any of the scenes and he chose "Lloverá" for a beautiful honeymoon scene
in Brazil.
When is your album coming out? What's the genre?
Mia: The album comes out in January or February and is bilingual. Half in
English and Half in Spanish.
Awesome! So the fans who liked your music thanks to the soundtrack will
have something to look forward to.
Mia: Yes, this album is very different. There's songs that are more upbeat, and
the rest of the songs fall more into the style of "Lloverá".

Rob talks being followed by fans
He’s won an army of devotees playing a sexy vampire in The Twilight Saga, but as the penultimate movie is released, actor Robert Pattinson is already dreaming of an end to the “craziness” that comes with fame, writes SHEREEN LOW
Three years ago Robert Pattinson was a little-known actor with a small part in two Harry Potter films and a handful of TV roles behind him.
Fast forward to 2011 and the British actor – known as "R-Patz" to his devotees – can't even step out of his front door without feeling paranoid about being accosted and stalked by fans.
"A lot of the time you think people are way crazier than they are. You think they've been waiting for five hours when they've only been there for five minutes.
"I was in London once and no one found out where I was staying the whole time I was there, and then this girl, waiting in the courtyard of the hotel in complete pitch blackness, called out my name – and I thought, 'This is it. I'm going to get killed'," he says, grinning at the memory.
"The thing that drives me crazy is if people follow you when you leave the building. As soon as I lose those people, I'm fine."
The reason for all this fear? The film juggernaut that is The Twilight Saga, a spellbinding love triangle between vampire Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and werewolf Jacob Black.
Based on Stephanie Meyers' best-selling books, the three films, with the eagerly anticipated fourth instalment Breaking Dawn Part 1 about to hit screens, have propelled the lead cast members – Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – to global stardom.
Running his fingers through his tousled hair, 25-year-old Pattinson says: "I just have to remember that it is all a job and that the craziness, as overwhelming as it seems sometimes, won't last forever."
It's little surprise that Pattinson, with his finely chiselled features and lean stature, has become such a heart- throb.
Yet fame has not gone to his head. The London-born actor, who now splits his time between the UK and the US, takes his new life in his stride.
"I guess my actual life hasn't changed that much – it's busier. The only time I found it really difficult to cope was when I tried to go to the same places I went to before, and live exactly the same life, and it's impossible," he admits.
"But life changes and you have to adapt to that. You can either let yourself go completely insane or just deal with it. My family and friends haven't been any different the entire time. It's lucky that I didn't do too much beforehand."
Shot back-to-back, the first of the final two Twilight films, with the second part to be released next November, sees Bella and Edward taking their relationship to the next level.
"Breaking Dawn begins with preparations for Bella and Edward's wedding and the chaos that ensues on their honeymoon, and the inevitable downfall that always happens in Twilight movies," says Pattinson.
"The wedding scene is a relatively momentous moment for the series. I think Edward's proposed to her about 50 times now, so it's been building up and building up.
"Edward's excited. He's always been obsessed about marriage. It's what he has wanted for a long time. I think it's one of the first points of stability in their relationship."
Their honeymoon on a beautiful island in Brazil "starts off quite nice and just gets progressively worse", reveals Pattinson.
"It just goes downhill after they have sex. Edward gets to relax – but only for a second. It's like a set-up so he can get punished again for the rest of the movie consistently."
Shooting the love scenes with Stewart, widely believed to be Pattinson's girlfriend, brought some pressure because of fans' expectations for the previously celibate on-screen couple.
Sighing, he says: "It's more an abstract idea of living up to expectations because you don't know what the expectations are. Especially with the honeymoon stuff, it's just in people's imaginations.
"You never really think about the reality of what people's expectations are, you just try and make it good. And if you like it, then hopefully other people will like it."
Trying to measure up to co-star Lautner, who has no qualms about appearing shirtless, required some dedication from Pattinson, who reportedly worked out for six months to get a six-pack.
When Bella unexpectedly falls pregnant with their half-human/half-vampire baby, their marriage suffers "a lot of strain" as Edward feels the baby is a death sentence for Bella, while she considers it a miracle.
But when Edward realises there's no changing Bella's mind about the child, he becomes more supportive.
To sustain the baby and herself through pregnancy, Bella has to drink blood which she then reacts to and throws up again. Pattinson says he "loved" doing the gruesome birth scene.
"It could have been an R-rated sequence – or a really ridiculous comedy sequence," he says, laughing.
"We kind of shot it as an adult horror and then edited out the really gruesome bits.
"It looked like a Saw movie, not a Twilight movie."
He adds: "There's literally been no blood in the films, except for single drops here and there. I walked in and Kristen was covered in fake blood and gore."
In between shooting the Twilight films, Pattinson has kept himself busy. He played Salvador Dali in Little Ashes, starred in tear-jerker Remember Me and romantic drama Water For Elephants.
Yet stepping back into Edward's shoes was easy. "You do feel Edward's back as soon as you go into make-up, for one thing, it's quite limiting. All of the limitations of the make-up, wardrobe and even the contact lenses, they all play into the character," he says.
Prior to Twilight, Pattinson's biggest role was as Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where he played second fiddle to the film's main stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
With the end of the Twilight franchise in sight, Pattinson has upcoming roles in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis and period piece Bel Ami.
"I like working all the time," he says. "I spent so many years before Twilight just working for two to three months and then doing nothing, or these tiny jobs, for the rest of the year.
"That's the hardest thing to deal with. You're like, 'Ok, I'll just go get drunk again'."

Nikki Reed about her marriage
One month after Nikki Reed tied the knot with American Idol Paul McDonald, it appears the pair are still firmly in the honeymoon phase.
"The first year is not the hardest. Gosh, if this is the hardest, then it’s gonna be easy breezy," Reed, 23, told PEOPLE Thursday at Wired Magazine's 7th Annual Store Kick-Off party in New York. "Even under the most stressful circumstances he and I are such a good team."
And they're in no rush to expand their family any time soon.
"I’m not getting pregnant for a long time," Reed said. "One day (I want to), it's just not what I’m thinking about right now, but I do. I'm young; he's young we want to be best friends and travel and do stuff."
Saying the best thing about being married "is we get to be together 24 hours a day," she also told PEOPLE there's one adjustment they're both having to make.
"Being married is amazing, but we are both still getting used to saying and hearing the words 'husband' and 'wife,' " Reed said at Wednesday's Cinema Society and DKNY screening of Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in New York.
"It's a little weird at first, but it's special and I'm really proud to be known as his wife and as Mrs. McDonald."
The Twilight actress says she and McDonald, 26, have already mastered the art of dividing up chores – with one glaring exception.
"I'm trying to get him to do laundry," she says, "but it hasn’t happened."

The Breaking Dawn survival guide for boyfriends
It began last night at midnight and will continue this weekend across the country. Millions of Twilight fans will travel in droves to see "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," and, inevitably, among those moviegoers will be thousands of reluctant boyfriends and husbands, dragged along to appease their eager significant vampire-obsessed other.
Our friends over at NextMovie put together a helpful "Twilight" guide for dudes that will help you prep for the movie, but once you're in the theater, it's a whole other monster. Here are some survival tips for making it through "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" alive.
Agree With StuffAt least in my experience, a Twi-hard's stance on certain Twilight-related issues is an essential part of who they are as people and not open to discussion, like your usual Chipotle order. Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? What did you think about the dress? These will ultimately come up during and after any screening of the film, so your best bet is to agree. Loved the dress! Hated that dress! Jacob is a nicer guy! Jacob is too whiny! Any dissent is sure to stir up emotions and won't be worth your time, even if you have an opinion.
Enjoy What Action There IsThere are moments where you can remove the glossed-over look from your eyes and actually pay attention. A "Twilight" movie will always sneak in a little action, and "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is no exception. Keep an eye out for the chase scene between the wolves and the Cullens and the fight scene they share later in the film. It's not great action, but beggars can't be choosers.
Prepare For The Arm GrabThe one thing you have to hand "Breaking Dawn" is that it doesn't pull punches with the infamous birth scene, which is mostly sound effects and is pretty messed up. No matter how resolved your Twilight fan is, he or she will probably grab you for cover. Open yourself to this, and you can be the big man that saved your loved one from the disturbing images on the screen.
They'll Owe You OneWe still live in a democracy after all, and in the U.S. of A., if you're forced to see a "Twilight" movie, you get to choose any ridiculously testosterone-fueled epic as your next date movie. You must choose wisely though. Next year is full of movies you wouldn't get to see as a couple otherwise, from "Dark Knight Rises" and "Avengers" to "The Hobbit." Do your research, and make it count.
