Less than two weeks before "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" hits U.S. theaters, Robert Pattinson has dished on the film. In a recent interview provided by Summit Entertainment, the depicter of vampire Edward Cullen talked about the birthday scene of his on-screen lover, Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan.

"It's sort of the ideal birthday party in the minds of everyone involved," Pattinson said about the situation. "It's all beautifully decorated, and everyone's very happy." He also shared, "Edward's looking at her thinking, 'She can become part of my family and my life and maybe this can work out the way [I] want it to.' And of course, it inevitably falls to pieces, and Edward has to reassess everything about the relationship and his life, with tragic consequences."

Since Paramount Pictures decided to develop "Area 51", an adaptation of video game with the same title, the filmmakers have tried to keep the details under wraps. Recently, Latino Review obtained a copy of some pages of director Oren Peli's short script.

[SPOILER ALERT!] The film begins with a guy, named Chris, testing out his brand new handycam. He has an interest in extra terrestrials subjects, while his friends, Paul and Rob, are skeptical. The next day, the three travel to Vegas where they hope to get video evidence that aliens exist.

While singing love songs isn't something new for Justin Bieber, the budding musician admitted in a recent interview with M Magazine that he's never been in love. "I haven't been in love yet, but I've felt love. It's a beautiful emotion that you can't really describe," he confesses.

Furthermore stating that people "can feel love at any age," Justin said he is open to the option of dating fans. "I would date whoever I fall in love with," he claimed, before then jokingly adding, "Make sure if you come see me in concert, to scream as loud as you can to catch my attention!"

Just when she returns on this week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy", a report emerges that Katherine Heigl's Izzie Stevens will be out of the screen again. EW's Michael Ausiello cited some sources as saying that the actress wants to take a break from the medical drama again, this time for a personal reason.

Heigl has once taken a hiatus from the show last month to complete her feature movie project "Life as We Know It". While it was for professional reason, this second leave is for her family's sake. She reportedly wants more quality time with her newly-adopted daughter Naleigh. This means Izzie will not appear in several episodes most likely those that air in early 2010.

30 Seconds to Mars' "King and Queens" music video has just made its way out for viewing pleasure. "We're doing all-night shoots. That was my big, dumb idea, to shoot at night," frontman Jared Leto told MTV about the video.

"But I think this city is a beautiful place at night, and we have these empty streets, and it's kind of a haunting, forgotten landscape," the vocalist continued. "It's been an incredible adventure, but it's also been really difficult, because there are so many people, and we're shutting down streets of Los Angeles."

Leaving it all to the press to answer the long floating question if he is dating Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner is said to have earned the singer's mother's seal of approval to date her famous daughter. The story, apparently, is follow-up to earlier reports that claimed Swift has introduced Lautner to her mother Andrea Swift during a dinner at Bistro Garden in Studio City last month.

"Andrea came prepared with a list of rules for dating her daughter: No clubs, no Hollywood parties, and always remember that her career comes first," Hollyscoop cites an insider as stating. "She also told Taylor that if there was even a whiff of scandal or cheating, he'd be banned from seeing her."

Some sneak peeks at James McTeigue-directed film "Ninja Assassin" have been shared in new clips. First debuted by Collider on Wednesday, November 11, each footage gives a look at some never-before-seen scenes from the movie.

Another clip, additionally, captures Raizo practicing his martial art skill.

Opened with "Forever and Always" performance from Taylor Swift, 2009 Country Music Association Awards continued with a duet between the show's hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley. They delivered lines which make reference to Kanye West who interrupted Taylor at 2009 MTV VMAs. "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye / Let 'em pic guitars and drive them old trucks / 'cause cowboys have manners, they don't interrupt," they sang.

This was not the only set in which Kanye got slammed. Later that night at the November 11 ceremony, Jimmy Dickens made fun of the rapper. Jimmy came onto the stage and interrupted Brad when he talked about his "Welcome to the Future" video by saying that Taylor has the best video ever.
