new moon laurent red eyes 300x199 Happy Birthday Edi GathegiHe 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 ItTwelfth NightOthelloA Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Cyrano de Bergerac, among others.

laurent edi gathegi 201x300 Happy Birthday Edi GathegiGathegi’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. :)

Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Male Issue

Yesterday we showed you pics from Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Male Awards.  Today we show you the February 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and the 2010 Fun Fearless Males :D .

Our 2010 Fun Fearless Males not only wowed us on screen, on the playing field, in the studio, and even in the operating room, but they also blew us away by sharing everything from their deepest insecurities to their bravest moments to what they crave in a woman. Talk about a bold yet surprisingly sweet batch worthy of our FFM Award. Pick up your Cosmo’s February issue for the complete interviews!

Vampire Shoot lgn 225x300 Cosmos Fun Fearless Male Issue

Kellan Lutz Kellan Lutz ffm lgn 225x300 Cosmos Fun Fearless Male Issue

You probably know Kellan Lutz from his role as Robert Pattinson’s hot brother in the Twilight series or, ahem, shirtless paparazzi shots that show off his a-ma-zing body. Those ripped pecs aren’t going anywhere, but don’t expect him to be Emmett Cullen forever. This laid-back 24-year-old is busy with new projects, like the freaky Nightmare on Elm Street remake and The Warrior, while plotting to become America’s next big action hero. Those chiseled abs splashed across the big screen? Staff field trip to the theater!

Paul Wesley ffm lgn 225x300 Cosmos Fun Fearless Male IssuePaul Wesley

Paul Wesley just may be the hottest 200-year-old we’ve ever seen. And we’re not the only ones with a sudden interest in someone so, uh, mature: Paul recently joined the ranks of Hollywood’s band of bloodsucking hunks, thanks to his role as centuries-old love-struck vampire Stefan Salvatore in the CW’s breakout series Vampire Diaries. Of course, offscreen, this 27-year-old is way more down-to-earth than his undead alter ego, leaving us wondering…R-Patz, who?

Stephen Moyer Stephen Moyer ffm lgn 225x300 Cosmos Fun Fearless Male Issue

We’re pretty obsessed with Stephen Moyer, who plays the charming yet seductively dangerous vampire Bill Compton on HBO’s hit True Blood. He’s damn sexy, sensitive, and really skilled at, uh, kissing a woman. Oh yeah, and then there’s that accent—while his character’s Southern drawl is hot, his real-life British inflection sealed our crush. Luckily, we’ll get to see even more of the handsome 40-year-old actor in the upcoming movie Priest. With his Hollywood success and hot fiancée (True Bloodcostar Anna Paquin), it’s safe to say Stephen’s going to have a very good year.

Others on the list included Gerard Butler (so glad about him :) ), Ne-Yo & Jonathan Rhys Meyer.

Cosmopolitan’s Fearless Male Awards

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….??? ;)

Toymaker NECA has unveiled to MTV a new slate of characters from the “Twilight” sequel that finally brings home a shirtless Jacob Black, Jasper Cullen and even a specially-treated Edward figure that sparkles in the sunlight, in addition to their previous Bella release. The company gave MTV News a special preview of their new products and a taste of what (and who’s) in store, so be sure to watch the video below for the sneak peek of your next Christmas list.
