We at Twilightseries.co.za would like to wish Edi Gathegi a very happy birthday today!
He was born Edi Mue Gathegi, in Nairobi, Kenya on 10 March 1979. His parents moved to California, where he grew up. As an undeclared undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he was more interested in playing basketball and was good at it, right until he injured his knee; This plunged him into a depression so he took up an acting class as an “easy course”. That is where he discovered his love for acting. Afterwards, he attended the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University for a graduate school acting program. Gathegi’s career began in theater, and his stage credits include Two Trains Running at the Old Globe Theatre, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Othello, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Cyrano de Bergerac, among others.
Gathegi’s first professional role was the Haitian Cabbie in the 2006 film, Crank. Though he had originally auditioned for the role of Kaylo, the producers gave the role to Efren Ramirez and instead offered Gathegi an appearance as the Haitian Cabbie. He was dubious at first about performing a Haitian accent, but was coached by his Haitian friend. In 2007, after guest-starring on Lincoln Heights and Veronica Mars, Edi went on to star as Bodie in Death Sentence, Darudi in The Fifth Patient and Cheese in Gone Baby Gone. He later had a recurring role as Mormon intern Dr. Jeffrey Cole on the television medical drama House, and guest-starred on CSI: Miami, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Life on Mars in 2008. before being cast as Laurent in Twilight. When Edi first auditioned for the 2008 film,Twilight, he had not heard of the series and was not aware that his character was a vampire. He now has read the whole series and calls himself a hardcore fan. Edi reprised his role as Laurent in New Moon and what a great job he did.
Kellan Lutz has been very busy lately it seems. Here are some pics of his Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Winter Shoot
Nothing whispers c’mere baby like sweet, soft clothes designed for cuddling on cool winter nights. Featherweight fabrics, oversize knits, and seductive glimpses of skin create a look no man can resist, not even New Moon hunk Kellan Lutz.
Here are some of Kellan’s thoughts on Winter clothes:
“The coolest part about seeing a girl wear something comfortable is the smile that you can just feel coming through from inside her.”
“Layers add excitement. I think, Once I take the sweater off and I’m able to touch her arms, how soft are they going to be?”
“When I’m in love with a woman, seeing her in something cozy makes me not want to let go of her when I’m holding her. ”
“It’s nice to see bits and pieces of a woman exposed. As a guy, you get that mystery — especially when a dress or top isn’t too snug.”
“Women are stunning in clothes that look like they were made for sitting outside a fire.”
“I like a girl to wear oversize sweaters that look like my own — it’s beyond sexy.”
“Your eyes are automatically drawn to that bare part of her shredded jeans.”
Cosmopolitan Magazine, held their “Fun Fearless Male Awards” at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC on 1st March 2010. I would have been in Vampire heaven if I was able to attend the awards -with Kellan Lutz (Emmet Cullen from Twilight), Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton from True Blood) and Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore from Vampire Diaries) all in attendance!! Stephen Moyer thinks, “We could take both of them [Twilight and Vampire Diaries] at the same time!” Now I’m not sure if I agree with him, as they are quite easily hurt in True Blood, plus Twilight has Edward who could read all their thoughts and so would have huge advantage in a fight!! And Twilight has Emmet & Jasper!!! I’m sure True Blood could take Vampire Diaries easily, but not Twilight
Stephen, who plays Bill Compton, continued, “We are much older than those whipper snappers [and] just me and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard )” would tear the other two casts apart in a matter of seconds!
Twilight’s Kellan Lutz agreed that True Blood would carry the deadliest stake: “I think True Blood would kick all our asses. Eric on True Blood) would kick all our asses. He’s a bad ass on the show.” But, he continued, “Really, who knows. We all have different strengths and powers.” For the Cullen clan, “you have to rip us apart. That can be tough if you [don't have] super human strength to do that.”
Vampire Diaries‘ Paul Wesley stood by himself when asked which cast would win. “I would win any fight, any vampire fight,” he said. But, for him, the battle lies within the scenes of his own show. He admitted he’s thirsty for Damon’s (played by Ian Somerhalder) blood. “I would kick Damon’s ass! I’m convinced of that and I plan on kicking his ass in future episodes,” he shared with us.
Here are some pics from the shoot. So maybe we won’t agree on who will win the fight, but who is hotter….???
Here are 2 videos of them on the red carpet – enjoy
It is a well known fact that Taylor Lautner has been extremely busy lately with all the movies he has lined up, as well as all his promotional and public gigs. So it is not surprising that he is dropping out of some of these. And as much as we would love to see as much Taylor as possible, we also don’t want to see him burnt out before he reaches 20! MTV reports that Taylor has dropped out of ‘Northern Lights’ last week and will now drop out of the movie ‘Max Steel‘ based on the Mattel toy.
Sources say it was his “Stretch Armstrong”collaboration with rival toy company Hasbro that was the impetus for Taylor’s departure.
So to recap, Taylor’s current project list is comprised of “Cancun,”“Abduction” and “Stretch Armstrong.” And “Breaking Dawn” if Summit ever gets around to it. Still a lot for the rising actor, but a more manageable list, for sure.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards – the BAFTA’s, ( for the best work of any nationality seen on British cinema screens during the preceding year), will take be taking place on Sunday 21 February 2010. Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart were both nominated for 2010 BAFTA Awards. Anna is a nominee for Best Supporting Actress for Up in the Air and Kristen is up for a Rising Star Award. Kristen confirmed yesterday with E!Online’s Marc Malkin that she will be attending the BAFTA awards.
Here is a picture of the seating arrangement for the BAFTA’s at Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
Can you pick out Rob Pattinson or Kristen Stewart’s seats?
In addition to their involvement, it has been confirmed today via a BAFTA twitter, that Robert Pattinson will be presenting at the BAFTA’s.
“Yeah, I’m going,” Stewart just told me when I asked if we’d be seeing her on March 7 at the Academy Awards. “Me and Taylor are going to present.”
Stewart admits she’s very nervous.
“I’ve been looking at shoes,” she said. “I’m trying to pick shoes that I know I won’t fall down in.
Last year Robert Pattinson presented with Amanda Seyfried. And he was also (not-so-coincidentally) seated right behind nominee Mickey Rourke, and ratings soared. Wonder if Kristen and Taylor have the same affect!
Kristen Prout who is better known for her role in Kyle XY will be playing Lucy in Eclipse, one of the vampires that was involved in Jasper’s ‘turning’ and his early war days, she talks to clevverTV about what it was like being a newbie on set of the third installment of the Twilight Saga, she also shares a bit of what goes on behind the scenes with regard to security and privacy. If you are a Jackson Rathbone fan you may enjoy this because she seems quite sweet on him and shares with us what a nice guy he is
