Movie Review: 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2' Review: Just be glad this is the last film!

Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner

Director: Bill Condon

How ironic that a film whose characters can zip across forests faster than deer should be so slow and laborious itself! Breaking Dawn - Part 2, fifth and final installment in the cheesy but immensely popular Twilight movie franchise, is a film unlikely to appeal to anyone but hardcore fans who've been consistently forgiving of its many shortcomings.

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has given birth to a daughter with husband Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). The film opens with Bella embracing and reveling in the new lifestyle...not motherhood, but vampirism! Converted into a bloodsucker after a rather brutal childbirth in the previous film, Bella is now faster, stronger and hungrier than she's ever been, and even Edward has to keep up with her.

No sooner than they've settled into their new home and enjoyed a few passionate moments, Edward and Bella learn that the Volturi, that feared clan of vampire law-keepers, is headed their way to pick a fight. Turns out the Volturi is convinced Bella's daughter, Renesmee, is an "immortal child" and therefore must be immediately killed. Truth is, since the girl was conceived and delivered while Bella was still human, she's very much a mortal. But because the Cullens aren't smart enough to figure out a way to clear the misunderstanding, they decide to gather their forces and fight the Volturi instead.

Good luck trying to keep awake as you're introduced one-by-one to the dozen-or-so friends, each with a special power or gift, that the Cullens call upon to help them in their stand-off against the Volturi. Of course wolf-boy Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is still around; he's now an ally of the Cullens, and he hangs around all the time like that pesky neighbor who can’t take a hint.

Creepiest of the lot is little Renesmee herself, the root cause of all the problems in this film. The kid (Mackenzie Foy) ages rapidly, and has this strange gift where she can touch your face with her palm and teleport her back-story to you. Her shameless parents encourage her to do this with pretty much everyone she meets...clearly they haven't heard of perverts and child molesters who might enjoy this kind of intimacy!

It's all deathly boring for anyone who's expecting an engaging story or even interesting characters. At best, the climatic battle scene delivers some thrills, but be warned, it's a surprisingly gory finale. The only other truly enjoyable thing in this film is the delicious overacting by its cast, particularly Michael Sheen as Aro, leader of the Volturi, who offers such a hammy performance, it’s hard not to laugh out loud.

Bella and Edward murmur most of their lines to each other softly; you’ll find yourself straining your ears to catch their words…can you really blame them for their embarrassment, given those corny lines! Kristen Stewart appears a little less morose in this film than she usually is – thanks to her new diet, maybe? Robert Pattinson, meanwhile, does much smiling and posturing, but Edward as a character is still such a stiff. Taylor Lautner, built like a Chippendales model, once again gets to take his shirt off, in what is perhaps the film’s most unintentionally funny scene.

Beautifully lit and lovingly filmed by director Bill Condon, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 looks like a 2 hour advertisement. It's hard to empathize with these characters, or fear for them when they’re in trouble, because they're so hollow, and because the actors can't even carry off the silliness of these stories with flair.

I’m going with a generous two out of five for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. For anyone who doesn’t worship the franchise, this is drivel. Just be glad this is the last film!

Rating: 2 / 5

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart back in magical phase

Actor Robert Pattinson who forgave girlfriend Kristen Stewart for cheating on him has reportedly again entered the romantic phase of relationship with her. Stewart, 22, was caught cheating on Pattinson with director Rupert Sanders.

 "They are not living with each other but they are spending plenty of time with each other and they do sleep over often. Rob usually sleeps over at Kristen's new home in Los Feliz, rather than the other way around," Hollywoodlife.com quoted a source as saying.

"They are in a really magical place right now despite some lingering trust issues on Rob's side," the source added.

The couple started dating in 2008 with beginning of Twilight franchise. They will soon be seen together in the last movie of the series Breaking Dawn 2.

Kristen Stewart refuses to talk about cheating scandal

Kristen Stewart is reportedly refusing to talk about her situation with ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson after being hit by the cheating scandal.

The 22-year-old "Twilight" star, who skipped the London premiere of her new movie 'On The Road', will remain in hiding until next month's Toronto Film Festival.

Stewart will promote her latest flick at the Festival but does not plan on doing an interview to address her being caught having a fling with director Rupert Sanders, reported Radar Online.

"Kristen has been hiding ever since the story of her affair with Rupert broke out and she doesn't plan on breaking that habit just yet," a source said.

"Unlike Rob, who faced the music and threw himself into promoting his new movie 'Cosmopolis', Kristen isn't comfortable with facing a barrage of questions about the

cheating scandal. Her pals have urged her to follow Robert's lead and do some interviews for 'On The Road' just to get it over and done with. The sooner she faces the music, the quicker it will all end and the media glare will fall on someone else," the source added.

Stewart had publicly apologised for cheating on Pattinson with director Rupert Sanders after intimate pictures of her and Sanders emerged.

"I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I'm probably going to say pretty much the same thing. I don't know why we haven't got any better at these. I think I don't know if I'm allowed to. Can I give this to the audience? Because, this is really... not that I don't appreciate it. But, thank you guys so much, it's been an amazing five years,” Robert Pattinson said.

Taylor Lautner said, “It's amazing. You guys are still around and just as strong and just as loyal.”

“I'm so embarrassed that my band isn't here. But this goes out for you guys, my band. Joey, Dane, everybody, thank you so much,” Selena said.

There was also the attractive Taylor Swift, who took away the Choice Female Artist award.

“The fact that you guys voted for me for this. This is a really huge award and I'm so excited and I just feel so honoured that I get to have you guys in my life. I'm so happy right now. Thank you so much,” Taylor said.

With so many awards, the shimmer and the stars the teeny award night sure was a huge hit with all the kiddies and the grown-ups alike.

Robert Pattinson Is One Intense Guy: Would Kristen Stewart Agree?

Robert Pattinson and his impressive acting skills have been no secret to Twi-hards who have fawned over their favorite vampire, Edward Cullen, ever since The Twilight Saga commenced. And, most recently, all the buzz has been pointed at Pattinson and girlfriend Kristen Stewart's powerful scenes in the upcoming installment, Breaking Dawn, out in November.

But, aside from the Twilight zone, the British heart-throb has heated up a host of other flicks. They may have not received as much attention, but Pattinson still managed to impress fans, co-stars and directors alike with his talent that's all the more admirable, as it is tempered by his down-to-earth demeanor.

Take Water For Elephants with actress Reese Witherspoon, who became fast friends with Pattinson and had nothing but praise for her co-star. As well, Christina Ricci, Pattinson's love interest in Bel-Ami recently said, "He's great... He's so professional. He comes to set with no expectations or attitude. None of those things you worry someone of his level of fame is going to have."

Now, Cosmopolis director David Cronenberg has showered rave reviews on Robert Pattinson and his performance in that film, a role for which he notably butchered his signature hair, rocking an uneven, half-shaven 'do. Anything for his craft!

According to Hollywood Life, Cronenberg told Vogue Italia, "[Rob is] one of the most intense actors of this generation. He'll blow your mind."

Wow, that is some compliment. No doubt Kristen Stewart would agree, as Pattinson's talent and his passion is probably what she finds as one of his most attractive qualities. Robert Pattinson has long had the reputation for a slightly brooding and intense acting sensibility, making him perfect for Twilight-type roles and winning him countless fans the world over. Now, he's received quite the seal of approval from an influential director, too.

Catch Bella and Edward’s romance in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Bella and Edward’s love culminates in marriage

Millions of Twilight fans were waiting for this. Bella Swan finally marries her vampire hero Edward Cullen while Jacob nurses a broken heart. As the book ‘Breaking Dawn’ is divided in three parts, the makers of Twilight series are coming up with two movies, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and Part 2.

So what can the fans expect from the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn which again brings the teen sensation Kristen Stewart together with the handsome heartthrob Robert Pattinson? Since ‘Breaking Dawn’ is touted to be the craziest installment of Stephenie Meyer’s young adult novel series Twilight, the fans will see their favourite Bella Swan romancing Edward Cullen in an island near Brazil as the book also has a vivid description of their racy Brazilian honeymoon after their low-key marriage.

And what about the terrifying child-birth experience of Bella? Producer Wyck Godfrey talked about the truly horrifying birth sequence, and how director Bill Condon plans to pull it off and still get a PG-13 rating for the film: “With Twilight's core of under-18 fans, it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated…Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella’s eyes. She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees.”

The book Breaking Dawn received rave reviews because it’s the most matured of all the installments. It has love, sex, a terrifying climax, and the picture gets bigger with the threat of a vampire massacre towards the end of the story.

We also bring to you the lovely images of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson from the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

 Bella marries Edward

 Release date 

The film is to be split into two parts, the first of which is scheduled for release on November 18, 2011 while the second part will come next year around the same time.

Robert Pattinson plans clothing line

Los Angeles, Aug 15 (IANS) Actor Robert Pattinson is planning to launch his own clothing line, according to his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kellan Lutz.

‘Rob and I were talking about doing clothing lines, and he found out I was doing one and was like ‘I should do one’. He wants to do one — he’s always so hipster,’ usmagazine.com quoted Lutz as saying.

Lutz added that he and Pattinson named called the line ‘Rags by Rob’, which is fitting since Pattinson’s own style could be described more or less as disheveled, with monotone V-neck T-shirts, worn-in jeans, and flannel button-down shirts being his wardrobe staples, and unwashed hair to boot.

Lutz, 26, has been hard at work this summer fine-tuning the details for his collection, Abbot+Main.

‘I’m very involved in the clothing line — everything gets run through me. It’s men’s right now, but I have a women’s line that starts this spring,’ he said.

Kellan Lutz says Robert Pattinson wants to have his own fashion line

Kellan Lutz has joined a long list of A-listers who have turned to fashion.

The 26-year-old is hard at work putting the finishing details on his Abbot+Main line, and says although he was a successful spokesmodel for Calvin Klein, he wanted to branch out and be more than just a pretty face.

"I wanted to be more than the face of something -- I wanted to be as brand-developed as my career's been," Lutz told Us Weekly. "I fell into acting and I'm very serious with it, but I want something that I can put my name on."

He says his name isn’t the only thing attached to it.

“I’m very involved in the clothing line -- everything gets run through me," he said. "It's men's right now, but I have a women's line that starts this spring."

Lutz’s interest in fashion has influenced another Twilight star to desire his own fashion line: none other than Robert Pattinson.

“Rob and I were talking about doing clothing lines, and he found out I was doing one and was like 'I should do one,'" Lutz said. "He wants to do one -- he's always so hipster."

Lutz says Pattinson’s working title for a line would be “Rags by Rob.”

Kristen Stewart Puts Robert Pattinson Before Her Family!

Kristen Stewart is doing everything she can to spend time with boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

 

Sources say the Twilight actress will drop everything just to be by his side. Kristen  was set to star in her mom Jules Stewart‘s directorial debut K-11 this summer, but she reportedly pulled out due to scheduling conflicts.

“Whenever she isn’t working, she’s jetting to whatever film location Rob is on,” a source says. “She basically drops everything when she can, to be with him.

“Rob and Kristen have been doing their best to make time for each other during their busy shooting schedules this summer. But now that Kristen is filming Snow White and the Huntsman in London, she barely sees him. Rob even attended the Teen Choice Awards in LA without her, and he’s been spotted out with buddies since Kristen is in his hometown.

“Kristen’s mom was hurt by her decision to pull out the movie.”

Kristen recently insisted she’s a “pretty loyal friend”.

“I’m a pretty loyal friend,” she told Closer magazine. “Once you become part of my clan, I won’t let go of you very quickly. I made such amazing friends [through Twilight], I’ll always keep them close to my heart.”

Kristen also revealed how she likes to spend her spare time.

“I read a book or take a walk [in my spare time],” she said. “I have to pick and choose where I’m going though. Sometimes, I can become very reclusive. Sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh, I can’t deal with anything right now, I can’t see anybody.’”

Taylor Lautner's lasting Twilight friendships

Taylor Lautner will be friends with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson "forever".

The hunky actor - who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the 'Twilight Saga'franchise - revealed the best thing about being a part of the movie series was getting to know Kristen (Bella Swan) and Robert (Edward Cullen) and says the three of them will always remain close.

He told Hollywoodlie.com: "My parting gifts were our friendships, lifelong friendships. We all get along great. We're definitely going to continue spending time together. Whether we're promoting these movies or whatever.

"There were tears on the last days, from everyone. I was the one who predicted it was actually going to be emotional on the last day."

Taylor has previously revealed he had mixed emotions about the end of the franchise.

He said: "I think it's mixed emotions, for sure.

"Half of me says, 'This is a relief. I get some time off, I get to spend some time with family and friends and do other things,' but the other half says, 'This is so weird.' I've been filming with these people for years, so it's definitely a bummer."

Kristen Stewart not 'hot'

Kristen Stewart "can't stand" being called "hot".

The 'Twilight' actress - who was voted sixth sexiest woman in the world in an FHM magazine poll last year - hates it when people praise her for her appearance, insisting she doesn't feel as attractive as she is perceived to be.

When asked how she feels about being called "hot," Kristen replied: "I can't stand that. What does that even mean? I don't feel hot."

The actress - who is dating her 'Twilight Saga' co-star Robert Pattinson -gets self conscious of people when she is out in public, although she admits she would do the same if she saw a celebrity in the street.

She told Closer magazine: "I have to pick and choose where I'm going. I have can become very reclusive. Sometimes I'm like, 'Oh, I can't deal with anything right now, I can't see anybody.'

"I know what I'm like, and if I knew that an actor was nearby, I'd be interested.

"I'm a people watcher and I'd definitely choose that person to watch. It's human nature to look at others and everyone is the same. So for a while I was definitely a bit self conscious.

Kristen Stewart Smells Like What?

It's not just Kristen Stewart's beauty, charm, charisma, talent, and intelligence that captivated Robert Pattinson. So what else is there? Why, her smell of course. Not her perfume, but her natural, quintessential scent; which is more than understandable. A woman who can still look breathtakingly beautiful even utterly without make-up must have a natural scent that's indescribable. Light and ethereal, yet powerfully sexy; definitive, but not overwhelming. Uniquely her own, yet oddly evocative of a variety of olfactory delights. Wildflowers perhaps, or a potpourri of natural spices. Or the clean fresh morning air after a light rain.

Alas, the answer is none of the above. So what does Kristen Stewart smell like?

Grass. Yes, reportedly, Robert Pattinson's lady-love smells like grass. And not the interesting kind of grass--the kind you'd smoke in Miley Cyrus's discarded bong. Kristen Stewart smells like the regular kind of grass--the boring kind that grows out on your lawn. In fact, according to legendary Hollywood producer, Arthur Cohn, the Twilight leading lady "smells like freshly mown grass, she never uses perfume."

Well, at least now we know what Robert Pattinson's second favorite household activity will be if the Breaking Dawn couple ever buys a house. With a yard. With a lawn.

You go, K-Stew.

Robert Pattinson to sing on 'Breaking Dawn' soundtrack?

Speculation is rife in Twilight circles as to who will be singing on the forthcoming soundtrack to Breaking Dawn. In an interview with MTV, director Bill Condon, revealed that a cast member will indeed show their vocal abilities for the tie-in OST.

When pushed as to who that cast member might be, he simply said, "it's gonna be a surprise".

While the frontrunner among fans is R-Patz himself, those old enough to watch The Runaways, Kirsten Stewart's biopic of the punk group of the same name, will know that the Bella actress can pelt out a number herself.

In the interview, Condon also explained that he sees the Twilight films coming full circle, in much the way Harry Potter did:

"I always thought of Breaking Dawn: Part One to be a real companion piece to Catherine Hardwicke's movie. I think everything that's set-up there, gets resolved here."

Breaking Dawn: Part One will be Bill Condon's first appearance in the Twilight Saga after making his name with the Oscar-winning Gods and Monsters, he also wrote the adapted screenplay for Chicago.

Breaking Dawn: Part One will be released in the UK on November 18 with Part Two following a year later in 2012.

WATCH: Robert Pattinson's racy Bel Ami trailer

Exciting news, R-Patz fans! It’s been a long time coming, but now we’ve finally got our hands on the very first sneak peek inside Robert Pattinson’s new movie Bel Ami.

And it looks rather steamy, to say the least…

Mr Pattinson shot the period-style flick between Twilight films in 2009, and was spotted on location in Budapest, with co-star Uma Thurman.

The movie – which also stars Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas - charts a young man's rise to power in Paris and his manipulation of the city's most wealthy and influential women.

Rob has already spoken of how the film features several steamy scenes, telling MTV: I think there's quite a bit of nudity.'

But Earlier this year we were worried the movie might never see the light of day, after it stalled during the editing stages with bosses worried Rob’s womanizing character was becoming unmarketable.

‘We were really true to the book and because the guy is basically a s**t who wins everything at the end it's really difficult to market it - especially with me in it,’ the actor told Total Film. 

‘Everyone's worried that everyone's going to be thinking, “Oh I want him to be nice, he's got to be nice to all the ladies”’.

Team MC are reserving judgement...

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart: Full Comic Con Interview (watch)

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner provided some revealing insights into the filming of “Breaking Dawn, Part 1,” at Comic Con.

Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Booboo Stewart and Julia Jones were also on hand at the convention.

One of the highlights of “Breaking Dawn” events was the extensive news conference involving the Twilight trio.

Kristen, for example, explained the lengths the movie company went to keep Bella’s wedding dress a secret.

“The wedding was secret-service style. It was insane. The crew was completely inconvenienced and grumbling around set,” she said at the “Breaking Dawn” press conference.

“You don’t understand what this means to us,” she said she told the security team. “If this dress gets on the Internet, I’ll die.”

The birth of Bella’s half-human, half-vampire baby was another key movie scene that produced an unexpected reaction.

“We had an animatronic baby, the scene where [Bella] had to be introduced to the baby for the first time,” Pattinson explained during Thursday’s press conference.

“[The puppeteer] is sweating right below my eyeline, trying to [reach] up to get the [animatronic baby's] hand up to touch your face,” Stewart said.

“And then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit and you’re like, ‘Ew, get that thing off me! Get me a real baby, this is ridiculous!’ ” she said. “And it had hair!”

“If you’ve ever seen a baby with a wig on …,” Pattinson offered. “[It] looked like a little troll on a stick.”

Comic-Con 2011: First Look of Kristen Stewart as Tough Snow White

Movie lovers have recently seen Lily Collins as the titular character in "Snow White" and they would agree that the other movie about the Disney princess is totally the opposite. "Snow White and the Huntsman" did a presentation at the San Diego Comic Con on Saturday, July 23 and among those shared are the first look of the main characters.

Instead of dressed in the trademark blue and yellow gown, Kristen Stewart's Snow White is hidden inside heavy armor. "It makes you feel kind of strong occasionally, sometimes. You kind of feel tiny. My tiny bobblehead...my pinhead kind of sticks out of this thing," Stewart said of the costume designed by Oscar winner Colleen Atwood.

Also debuted is Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen who is wrapped in shiny black high-collared dress. Theron joked during the panel, "That's not my collar, that's actually part of my head." Chris Hemsworth plays the Huntsman and it took four days of "drinking" to get the scruffy look. Meanwhile, Sam Claflin is the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty. His character wears the typical armor for a prince, complete with the sword.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" will start filming next week in London with Rupert Sanders directing and Joe Roth producing. Marking a difference between their version and Relativity's, Roth said, "From the pictures, the other looks like a softer version." Both films will be released next year and three months apart.

Sanders announced at the panel that there will be eight, not seven dwarfs like in the original story. While explaining why, Sanders dropped a major spoiler. "There are a few great lines when one of them gets killed," the director revealed and got scolded by Theron. "I knew I would get something wrong," Sanders then said.

Speaking more of the dwarfs, he said, "They are very tough East End villains in their day jobs, but they're coming together to be a group of very tough East End dwarfs. This is my desperation to make a war movie. I've cast my British SAS squad with these great actors, who are very funny, very tough, and together are quite unstoppable."

Reason for Robert Pattinson's New Haircut Revealed!

Lots of exciting Twilight-related news from Comic-Con, guys! Apparently Kristen Stewart feels that she's been "ramping up to shoot the (wedding) scene for years," hurricane season hit the cast's Brazil honeymoon location after the first day, vampire contact lenses are a total pain to wear, the birth scene is like totally hardcore, Taylor Lautner did at least one stunt with no safety wires, and—um, wait a second, what in the sparkly hell is going on with Robert Pattinson's hair?

It turns out the most talked-about sight at the Breaking Dawn panel wasn't that infamous sex scene after all. Instead, it was Robert Pattinson's new 'do, which I can only describe as a partial mullet. Business on the side, party on the other side.

So, what's the story behind the half-buzz? There's an official story, of course, but I have some theories as to what really happened.
The Breaking Dawn scene got re-enacted at home. You know how Edward goes all ape-man in the book and rips up the bedroom while he's ravaging Bella, right? Who's to say R-Patz and Kristen Stewart didn't get a little worked up filming this pivotal moment and decided to play "Powerful Yet Helpless in Your Presence Vampire and Overcome With Repressed Hormones Human" back at their mansion or hotel suite or crew trailer or whatever? I'm just saying, they may seem kind of mopey and broody in real life, but maybe they're just crazed sexbeasts. Hair-pulling can go too far, kids.

R-Patz is trying to hide his bald spot. In a fit of weepy emo desperation triggered by some bad overhead lighting and the revelation that no matter how handsome he may currently be, he's destined to morph into Prince William any minute now, Robert Pattinson viciously attacked his own head with a pair of scissors. Bad move, Rob.

He has a Comic-Con reputation to live up to. Maybe Pattinson is just trying to keep the crazy-hair Comic-Con tradition alive. After all, this is what he looked like in 2008:



Whoah.

Well, I hate to disappoint you since those are obviously some very fine theories, but the official excuse for why Edward looks like he lost a fight with an oscillating fan is that he's starring in the upcoming thriller Cosmopolis, which is "centered on a young man who makes an odyssey across Manhattan in order to get a haircut." Uhhhh. Okay. That sounds ... awesome.

Kristen Stewart Turns Fans Away at Comic-Con...Why?

Why was Kristen Stewart turning fans away at Comic-Con? Robert Pattinson was reportedly greeting fans and making them feel welcome. What was up with Kristen?

According to a report from Hollywood Life, Stewart is typically known for being a very fan-friendly celebrity. So what happened that prompted her to turn fans away?

It seems that both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart arrived at a San Diego hotel prior to Comic-Con. Several fans saw them emerge from their stretch limo and asked for autographs, photos and the like. 

Apparently Robert Pattinson was more than happy to oblige, but Kristen wasn't having any of it.

Fans say this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened either. When Kristen Stewart paid a visit to Robert Pattinson on the set of Cosmopolis, he signed loads of autographs and posed for photos with fans. Stewart stayed inside the limo.

This is a bit disconcerting. Kristen Stewart has become a celebrity icon because of these fans--most infatuated with her from her role as Bella in the Twilight series. How much effort would it take to oblige a few with an autograph and a kind word? And why--when Robert Pattinson is so obviously outgoing with his fans, would she chance creating such a reputation for herself?

Hopefully once Comic-Con is actually underway, Kristen Stewart will have a bit of an attitude change and treat each of her fans the way they deserve to be treated. Certainly no celebrity wants to be mobbed, or bothered while eating their dinner--but while stepping out of a limo outside of a hotel? How much harm could signing a few autographs have caused?

Ummm--none?

Here's another theory, however. It seems that some fans in recent days have stated they want 'proof' that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are having sex! Now, isn't that overstepping the bounds of being a fan? Could this have something to do with why Kristen dissed the San Diego fans?

Hopefully Kristen was just having a bad day and will step up to the plate once Comic-Con is in action. On Friday, she and Robert Pattinson will be joined by Twilight star Taylor Lautner. One would hope that he will follow Rob's lead and treat fans with respect. Perhaps he can help nudge Kristen into a better mood, too?

Rob and Kristen Don't Hold Back on a PDA-Packed Shopping Date

A little fender bender ain't keeping Kristen Stewart home—or away from her man!

Proving that the couple are still going strong, Kristen and her main squeeze, Robert Pattinson, who recently wrapped filming on Cosmopolis, were spotted shopping together at a vintage store in Hollywood on Sunday.

"They were laughing and very close, embracing in side hugs and seemed very enamored with each other," a store source at Iguana Vintage Clothing in Sherman Oaks, who helped the couple, told Hollywood Life.

And this isn't some phantom sighting of the usually elusive pair!

Oh no. "They came in to shop and they left—that was it," a store employee confirmed to us, regarding Robsten's recent visit.

"Rob was not bored at all and spent time looking at stuff around the store while helping Kristen," reports Hollywood Life. "When Kristen started to try on clothes, she even asked Rob for his opinion and if he thought she looked good."

And turns out the starlet, who can always be found in jeans and T-shirt, even purchased a new pair of jeans and a few shirts. Yup, that sounds like our gal! Although asking Rob for his opinion? Not so much. Kris already knows what she likes!

 "Kristen and Rob perused the belt buckles and playfully goaded one another to try on the store's eclectic collection of wigs," added the H.L. source.

Sounds like K.Stew is super happy and comfortable with Rob, much more so than she is during public appearances.

On that notoriously nervous note, check out this hilarious video spoofing Kris called "Speak Like Kristen Stewart" that teaches you how to "Talk, quiver and awkward pause just like your favorite teen star!"

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
