TWILIGHT ODDS AND ENDS TUESDAY 12/30/08

Just a few odds and ends for your enjoyment:

Robert Pattinson’s buzz cut: love it or hate it?
• Robert Pattinson must have gotten really tired of all the attention his bed-headed, messy long hair was getting. He recently got a military-style buzz cut (click here to see it!), and he was spotted with the new do in a L.A. post office with his “Twilight” co-star Nikki Reed. On Dec. 18, Robert Pattinson was snapped meeting with a mystery guy pal at La Conversation restaurant in West Hollywood, where they both satisfied late night munchies. I’m not that crazy about the buzz cut. Makes him look kinda ordinary and not nearly as Old-Worldly, anachronistic and romantic. Comment here

EXTRATV: LAUTNER BATTLES FOR NEW MOON

• (this is older but I don’t recall seeing it)That’s true! “Extra” caught up with the baby-faced actor at the Golden Globes Young Hollywood party last night, where he broke news about an upcoming meeting with “New Moon” director Christ Weitz. While Lautner expressed excitement about meeting with the director, he confirmed that none of the sequel cast is set.

  Taylor also put co-star Ashley Greene on the spot, via “Extra’s” celeb degrees! When Lautner asked the brunette beauty if she were on team Edward or team Jacob, Ashley said, “Right now I’m gonna be on Team Jacob because I’m really, really rooting that you stay and that you play Jacob in the second one.” See the video here
