With only one more movie to go in the Twilight franchise, fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on what’s happening with the final movie Breaking Dawn Part 2. The first sneak peek of the movie was released last month, and now Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are heading back to Vancouver, Canada to finish re-shooting a couple of scenes for the final film!

The director of the movie Bill Condon took to the movie’s Facebook page to update fans on what is happening with the film. Read his message below!

Hello Twihards!

Greetings from Los Angeles, where we’re hard at work on BREAKING DAWN, PART TWO. It’s truly crazy to think that it’s been a year since we wrapped production in Vancouver, since for those of us in the editing room the work has never stopped.

A film is a lot like a puzzle, with each piece – each shot, no matter how brief – needing to fit exactly with the ones around it. Our Part Two puzzle is finally coming into full view, and in a few weeks we’ll be heading back north to pick up some additional shots – the last tiny missing pieces. We’re not shooting any new scenes or dialogue, just some technical work with some of our cast and stunt actors.

I am really looking forward to being back on set with some of the friends I’ve made on my Twilight journey, like the great Guillermo Navarro, our cinematographer, and his crew. And yes, Rob and Kristen will be there too, to pop in those gold contacts one last time…

I’m excited to report that before too long we’ll have another trailer for you to decode. And wait until you see the first posters — they’re unlike any “Twilight” images you’ve seen before. And then November 16th will be upon us and the final film will be yours!

Until then, have a very happy spring, and I’ll check back in with you soon.

Best wishes, Bill

Exciting! Watch out for Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 as it hits theaters this fall!

Hunger Games actor Josh Hutcherson is being recognized at the upcoming GLAAD Awards for his role in promoting a better understanding of the gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual community. Josh will be presented with an award at the ceremony, which takes place on April 21st.

The GLAAD president released a statement in regards to Josh’s award. Here’s what he had to say:

“Emerging as a leader in a new generation of equality advocates, Josh Hutcherson has consistently used his platform to help young people understand that no one should face discrimination simply because of who they are. Josh’s commitment to achieving equality for every American is a message he carries in his work both on screen and off, earning him the honor of being GLAAD’s youngest-ever Vanguard Award recipient.”

Congratulations to Josh! He can also celebrate the fact that the Hunger Games came in at number 1 in the box office for the 4th week in a row! WOW!

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were some of the many celebrities who stepped out to enjoy the Coachella Music Festival this weekend. The Vampire Diaries duo were spotted walking hand-in-hand around the grass in California, as Nina looked beautiful in a bold red dress and her Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Even though The Vampire Diaries has yet to be picked up for a fourth season, the writers of the addicting CW series have already been hard at work planning out more exciting episodes! “We have lots of plans. We’ve actually already started in the writers’ room in anticipation of a next season order,” the executive producer told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve got a lot going on, a lot of really amazing character moves, great romance, a new mystery, a new villain and I’m really excited about it. We’re feeling pretty good about it already and we’ve only been talking about it for two weeks.”

Be sure to watch out for a brand new episode of The Vampire Diaries this Thursday (April 19) on the CW!

As the first movie from the popular Hunger Games series continues to rule the box office for the fourth weekend in a row, actress Jennifer Lawrence shared her personal favorite books!

In an interview with CNN, Jennifer revealed her top 5 reads and why she loves them – check out what she has to say!

1. “The Other Boleyn Girl” -”Gregory is one of my favorite authors, I’ve always loved history, and she makes it…salacious.”

2. “Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters” – “I’m so drawn to Salinger’s view of society back then, and to his sarcasm. I read “Catcher in the Rye” first, then this one. I don’t think there’s ever been anything like these characters in American literature.”

3. “We Need to Talk About Kevin” – Shriver’s haunting novel is not quite horror and not quite thriller, “but it’s definitely dramatic,” Lawrence says.

4. “Anna Karenina” – “I really wasn’t expecting to like it. I thought I wouldn’t want to finish an 800-page book, but then I started slowing down and reading the same chapters over and over. You fall in love with the characters; you grow up with them.”

5. “The Rum Diary” – “You can tell in one sentence if what you’re reading is by Thompson,” Jennifer said. “You read a Thompson book because of his voice. He’s always getting wrecked in San Juan and reporting on cockfights. He’s just hilarious.”

Jennifer is currently gearing up to begin shooting the next movie for the second book of the Hunger Games series, titled Catching Fire. The movie is expected to be released into theaters November 2013. Can’t wait!

Boho babe Vanessa Hudgens stepped out with a new longer hair ‘do for a fun-filled weekend with her boyfriend Austin Butler as the pair hit up the Coachella Music Festival in California with a group of friends.

“Off to coachella we go!!!!! Ahhhh can’t wait to ride my bike there and see the black keys and hopefully m83. Sucks they’re playing the same time!!! Oh well come what may.” Vanessa wrote on her facebook page before heading off to the festival.

Vanessa was spotted sporting multiple different looks over the weekend from high-waisted shorts and a flower headband to a purple dress with a feather head dress. Which outfit was YOUR favorite?

Glee hottie Lea Michele was spotted hanging out with Lauren Conrad over the weekend (April 14) in Palm Springs, as the duo checked out the Coachella Music Festival. Soaking up the sun, Lea looked pretty in a white shirt-dress over a red-hot bikini as she posed for pictures at the Lacoste Live Pool Party.

While taking in the warm weather, Lea took to her twitter page to tweet about her co-star and boyfriend Cory Monteith. She wrote, “Hanging @ the @LACOSTELIVE pool party! Think I just saw a really hot 6’3 Canadian with a tribal arm band hanging by the pool.. So happy:)”

At the party, Lauren and Lea did a quick interview with Celebuzz where they chatted about their photo shoots. Lauren appeared on the new issue of Glamour magazine, where she posed topless.

“Oh, I died for your Glamour shoot,” Lea gushed to Lauren. “The inside shots are so beautiful.”

“Thank you!” Lauren said. “My dad’s not so thrilled about it!”

Lea also revealed that her parents weren’t too keen on her photo shoot she did in her underwear a while back for GQ. “When I did GQ, my dad wasn’t so thrilled either.”

“I even told my mom (Kathy) not to tell him! That was my only thing. When I did it I was like, ‘Don’t tell dad!’” Lauren said.
