People Magazine: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Spending More Time Together
via Glooce
Despite a cheating scandal that almost destroyed their relationship, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been spending more and more time together.
When Stewart, 22, and Pattinson, 26, met up in Los Angeles over the weekend of Sept. 15, speculation grew that the Breaking Dawn stars would rekindle their love.
Since then, the couple have continued to meet up, spending time together at a friend's guest house in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.
"Rob was completely heartbroken and was saying there was no way he could ever forgive her," a source told PEOPLE recently. "But not speaking to someone that you thought was your end all, be all, is clearly harder than he expected."
Pattinson's friends want him to move on because "they don't want to see him hurt again," the source added. "But it's easier said than done."
Meanwhile, a different source says that the actor's pals "keep telling him he needs some time and space, but they all think they will be a couple again, maybe as soon as they are together for the Twilight promos."
At least for the moment, the couple seem to be taking a few days apart. The On the Road actress arrived in Paris solo on Wednesday for Paris Fashion Week. Stewart, a spokeswoman for Balenciaga, is expected to attend the fashion house's show on Thursday.

Exclusive Grimm First Look: Will Monroe Go Undercover to Help Nick and Hank?
Grimm’s Monroe is usually a behind-the-scenes kind of guy — but he may soon take the lead and prove he’s blutbad to the bone. TVLine has your exclusive first look at this Friday’s episode, which marks the NBC drama’s official move back to its 9/8c timeslot. In the clip, Silas Weir Mitchell‘s Monroe helps Nick and Hank try to figure out why they found a blutbad in an unexpected place – and how Monroe’s status as one of the wolflike creatures (albeit a reformed one) might make him the best choice to get a closer look at the situation.
TVLine
TV Line has confirmed a Grimm outlook for veteran actor Jason Gedrick.
Look for the star to appear on an upcoming episode of this NBC drama as Craig Wendell, a death row inmate put away by Hank who begins to convince Russell Hornsby's character that perhaps he really did commit his crime in self-defense against a tandem of "monsters."

Jennifer Lawrence gets interviewed by W Magazine
Via glooce
JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS READY FOR THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME:
THAT OF THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN FILM STAR.
Jennifer Lawrence is only 22, but she has already been nominated for a best actress Academy Award, for Winter’s Bone, and starred in two blockbuster franchises. She was nude and blue as Mystique in X-Men: First Class, and in The Hunger Games she played Katniss Everdeen, the ultimate heroine for a dystopic age. In November, she stars in Silver Linings Playbook, a romantic comedy about emotionally damaged people.
You play a rather crazy widow in Silver Linings. Technically, you are too young to play that character. Did you have to audition?
I did. But I didn’t mind. People always worry that I’m wrong for the part: I’m usually too young—or, in the case of Katniss, they thought I was too old. I was blonde, and Katniss is brunette. So many problems. There were a lot of things that we just brushed under the rug.
The climax in Silver Linings is a big dance scene with Bradley Cooper, who plays your would-be boyfriend. Could you dance before this movie?
I’m such a bad dancer [laughs]. I don’t have many talents: I’m not a good cook, I can’t clean, and I can’t sew. The only thing I can do well is shoot bow and arrow—which I learned to do for The Hunger Games and will probably never come in handy—and act. Imagine me 100 years ago: I would have been pointless.
You could have acted! Although there weren’t movies like X-Men back then. Did you have to get naked and blue for the X-Men audition?
Not for the audition, but there was a moment where I thought I was going to have to paint my face and Skype with the director, and I said no. The first test where they painted me blue took around eight hours of makeup. I would stand, lean, or sit on a bicycle seat naked while they painted me. I have no modesty left after X-Men— I had blue in places I didn’t even know existed. Afterward, I had to go around naked, with scales over my private parts, surrounded by men. That cures you of all inhibition.
Did you end up hating blue?
Not really, but I did leave the color everywhere. The hotel in London wouldn’t give me my security deposit back because I turned their tub blue. I also did that to a lot of toilet seats on set. We called it “getting Mystiqued.”
After filming X-Men, you went straight into Oscar madness. Did you have fun at the Academy Awards?
It’s an honor and an overwhelming compliment, but it’s also a kind of bizarre thing. All of a sudden you’re at these parties and everybody’s famous, and you feel like a loser. By the time of the actual Oscars, I was so sick of fittings and trains and corsets and people asking “What are you going to wear?” I had to go on a diet, because at all the parties there’s champagne and hors d’oeuvres. I ate so much! I think I wore two Spanx on the night of the awards.
When you were at the Oscars, did you already know you were about to star in Hunger Games?
My mom talked about Hunger Games on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, which was something I had told her a million times not to do. She’s like Dina Lohan!—but she has good taste.
As soon as you got the part of Katniss, you began training. I read somewhere that you are so good with a bow and arrow that you could compete in archery at the Olympics.
I do love archery. I could kill someone with a bow and arrow if they’d hold still! With Hunger Games, I got really nervous about signing on to that huge franchise. I was afraid that Katniss would overwhelm any other character I’d try to do. But I love Katniss, and she didn’t take over as much of my life as I thought she would.
Tiffany in Silver Linings is very different from Katniss. She’s challenging and initially off-putting. Do you have to like a character to play her?
No. I don’t have to like them— a lot of people don’t like themselves. It’s nice not to be likable for the audience. It’s freeing to not have to get an audience on your side.
You started so young—you came to L.A. when you were only 15. One of your first movies was The Poker House, and your character in the film is raped. Was that traumatizing?
No. I hid the Poker House script from my parents so that I could audition for it. By the time I got the part, it was too late: They had to let me do it. During the filming of the rape scene, my mom was there. I was okay with it. I was very ballsy at that age—the typical kind of stubbornness that comes with being a teenager. I started out fearless, and now I’m terrified.
That is not true.
It is, and it isn’t: You do become more aware of your mortality as you get older. When you’re little, you jump on any wild horse. Then you get a little bit older and realize how fragile life is, and you’re more careful.
You sound so old. You’re 22!
I’ve been through a lot. I mean, I’ve been nude and painted blue! [Laughs] Truthfully, a lot has happened in a short time.
Have your feelings about the movie business and Los Angeles changed?
Sadly, I cannot live in Los Angeles anymore. I don’t understand how actors can do it. You have no life here. You are followed everywhere. It’s not like that anywhere else in the world. I don’t want to stay in L.A. and start thinking that’s reality—because it’s very far from normal. But I still love movies. I’m just going to love being in them from Kentucky, or Prague, or somewhere else.

Four Films That Tackle the Greatest Taboo
Via Glooce
Once homosexuality was the love that dared not speak its name, but with Ellen and Anderson on daytime and a dozen LGB (and occasionally T) characters on prime-time TV now, it's time to look at what might replace homosex in cinema's canon of taboo. Namely: consensual incest. With the recent release of the lesbian film Mary Marie, we look at four films that tackle incest and still made it to the screen.
Mary Marie (2012): With the ethereal quality of The Virgin Suicides, Mary Marie is a sweet and disarming, dreamlike film in which Mary (Alana Kearns-Green) and her sister Marie (Alexandra Roxo) live in an insular state of perpetual childhood and semi-incestuousness. After their mother dies, the two girls do everything together, including sleeping and bathing, but when a handyman enters their (now adult) lives, the twosome must confront childhood's end or deal with the possibly violent repercussions of a love triangle. The two stars wrote the film, which is lovely and hard to define but a worthy look at extreme codependence.
Sister My Sister (1994): This intense British thriller, starring a young Joely Richardson and Jodhi May is directed by Nancy Meckler and written by Wendy Kesselman (based on her play My Sister in This House) — and all that estrogen power behind and in front of the camera pays off in what is a beautifully chilling film about violence, desire, and repression. Based on a real incident in France in the 1930s (Google "the Papin murders"), the movie is the third and perhaps best film to tackle the case. In it, Christine (Richardson) and her sister Lea (May) are maids who are oppressed by their wealthy employer and have only each other to rely on, and their bond goes far beyond simple sisterhood. As the eroticism grows between them, the tension and repressed rage between them and their employer leads to murder.
From Beginning to End (2009): Unlike sapphic incestuousness, the gay version has hardly been shown outside the confines of pornography, which might explain why some viewers were shocked by this Brazilian love story. Two brothers grow up in an extremely close relationship, spooning in bed prepuberty, bathing together, and holding each other from their earliest days. Dad worries that there is something wrong while Mom tells the boys she'll love them no matter what. As very attractive grown men (played by João Gabriel Vasconcellos and Rafael Cardoso), the two reunite and decide to make their intimacy sexual. And yes, the sex scenes are very hot (and worth the rental). But aside from some longing and confusion, viewers are left wondering about the how of it all. Unlike Sister My Sister, the film makes you wonder how the men feel about all this and what created this vacuum of intimacy around them.
The House of Yes (1997): This film is the best of the lot. It also offers the best role for each of the actors who play the three siblings (Parker Posey, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Josh Hamilton are all brilliant) as well as for Tori Spelling (who plays a clueless working-class girl trapped in their web). Posey is Jacki- O, an unbalanced young woman who developed an intimate relationship with her twin brother, Marty, when two were just tweens (the younger version of Posey's character is played by Rachael Leigh Cook of Premonition). When Marty returns home with his new fiancée, Leslie (Spelling in a hilarious role), Jackie-O is determined to set things right. Meanwhile, Mom, played brilliantly by Genevieve Bujold, tells Leslie that the two siblings belong to each other, that in fact Jackie's hand was holding Marty's penis when they came out the womb. There's less sex in the film than in some of the others on this list, but the stellar cast and the real erotic tension between Posey and Hamilton make this a must-see.
