Finally, the full trailer for Eclipse is out! And it’s kind of meh. Needs more Sparkles, in my opinion. But it’s good, I guess. It leaves you hungry, wanting more. The Twihards will have a field day. This is also the first time we get to see Bryce Dallas Howard, who replaced Rachelle Lefevre as one of the bad vampires. And there’s lots of Jacob, who apparently, like, never wears a shirt. Here’s People’s summary, with a SPOILER at the top:

When fans last left Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) at the conclusion of New Moon, the dreamy vamp had popped the question to his stunned mortal beloved, leaving Twi-hards to wonder if she’d accept.

Well, the wait is over: The first trailer for Eclipse – the third film in The Twilight Saga – was officially unveiled Wednesday morning, providing a much-hungered-for first look at what’s in store for the supernatural couple. Plus, the clip gives viewers a first look at the new Rachel: Bryce Dallas Howard in a fierce set of red curls!

Eclipse is due to hit theaters June 30, but for fan-pires lusting for an immediate quench to their thirst, pick up New Moon on DVD March 20 or check out Pattinson’s latest film, Remember Me, in theaters Friday.

[From People Magazine]

LaineyGossip claimed that Twihards were going to be seeing Remember Me in droves, all to support Sparkles in every non-Cullen adventure. Which is the kind of epic, fanatical fan base most studios dream of. I can only imagine that this “meh” trailer will be watched obsessively about a bajillion times today. And tomorrow. And the next day…

Screaming tweens are ripping off the lifesize Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson promotional cutouts from Burger Kings around the US. TMZ reports that BK outlets have to keep replacing the posters after they’ve been stolen by girls in broad daylight:

There’s a “Twilight” crime wave sweeping the nation — particularly at Burger King restaurants — and all the suspects seem to be the most fearless creatures on the planet … teenage girls with a crush.

TMZ has learned multiple Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting life-size promotional posters of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are being ripped right off the BK windows in broad daylight … horrible time for a vampire.

So far, the interstate theft has affected BKs in Maine, Delaware and Montana. One Burger King rep tell us, “The girls just walk up in the middle of the day … rip off the posters and run … we’ve had to replace them over and over.”

I finally saw New Moon this weekend, and while it was cheesy as hell and definitely geared to young girls it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. The melodrama was laid on with a trowel and the first half of the film dragged, but once the action picked up it was pretty fun. The film was true to the book and really took the material into flat soap opera territority. They could have made it a more intelligent and less centered on Bella’s one-dimensional lovelorn angst.

It seems fitting that New Moon is doing a cross-promotional effort with Burger King. It’s like they’re not even trying to protect the Twilight brand and are going for a mass marketing blitz over even a smidgen of exclusivity. There are “Team Edward” and “Team Jacob” value meals, BK crowns and water bottles for God’s sake. Oh - and in one scene in New Moon, outside a movie theater, a Burger King bag was visible in several shots. I’m surprised the characters didn’t go out for Burger King and pose with the sexy plastic-faced BK guy. Maybe Burger King will cater Bella’s wedding in the next installment. The vampires will all moan that it’s too bad they can’t eat human food and enjoy a burger packed with cheese, bacon and fire-grilled taste achieved with flavored chemicals from New Jersey. (I got that from Fast Food Nation. I still enjoy a burger now and then from McDonalds or BK.)

New Moon was finally toppled from the top of the box office in its third weekend. Sandra Bullock’s The Blind Side has also been out for three weekend, but did a little better than New Moon this weekend to reach number 1 with a $20 million take to New Moon’s $15 million. E! Online reports that New Moon will probably make a whopping $600 million worldwide. Box Office Mojo has the current take at around $500 million.

The fourth book in the Twilight series, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn will be most likely split into two films for maximum profitability. The films are being shot back to back with a new director, Spanish horror filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona. Maybe he’ll add some legitimacy to the series. Not that it will affect the very fat bottom line at all.

Update: Eclipse has already been shot and has been directed by David Slade. It will be out in June, 2010. (Thanks guys for setting me straight!)

Miley Cyrus isn’t backing down from her “I hate everything about Twilight” comments from last week. Previously, Miley sat down for some kind of budget interview, and when she was asked about Twilight and New Moon, Miley said: “I’ve never seen it and nor will I ever. I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires. … I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it. I feel really lame because everyone’s, like, so excited, and I’m like, ‘Don’t even talk about it.’ ” Most people thought she only hated the whole Twihard thing because it was taking attention away from her. Another theory: she hates Twilight because it’s one of her daddy’s favorite movies. Anyhoodle, Miley has given a new interview where she’s doubling-down on her Twilight hate-on. She’s also talking about how Zac Efron is “the hottest person in the world”. Er…what?

Watch out, Vanessa Hudgens: Miley Cyrus has her eyes on your man.

In a Tuesday radio interview with Sirius XM’s The Morning Mash Up!, Cyrus shares her strong feelings about a fellow Disney star.

“I think Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world,” she gushes. “I really, really like him.”

The 17 year-old continues, “It’s weird because he’s my friend…I could call him and be like, whatever.”

But the Hannah Montana star then clarifies that it’s 22 year-old Efron’s devotion to girlfriend Hudgens that makes him so appealing. “Zac could get any girl…and do whatever, and he is so loyal and a really good friend…He’s just like super good looking.”

Can Cyrus keep her composure around her crush? Sure, she says. “I’m pretty cool,” she jokes. “I’m pretty much the coolest person ever.”

The star is less talkative when asked about her more immediate romantic prospects — like Liam Hemsworth, the costar with whom she locks lips in the 2010 film The Last Song. When the radio host mentions Hemsworth hookup rumors, she says, “I can neither confirm nor deny.”

Later in the conversation, the singer-actress continues to slam the Twilight phenomenon, calling it a “cult.”

“I think it’s bad,” she says. “People get too into it…When guys look at supermodels and they’re like ‘that’s the perfect girl’ that’s what those kind of movies do to us. You know what I’m saying? They’re like thinking that’s what girls should be like and not everyone is going to be Edward [Robert Pattinson], hate to say it.”

[From Us Weekly]

I began developing a theory as I read Miley’s latest mouth-farts. Does anyone else think she’s starting to sound a little Megan Fox-esque? I mean, those Zac Efron quotes are right out of Megan’s playbook (Fox once compared Efron to Elizabeth Taylor). And the whole Twilight hate-on? It could be a way for Miley to get some more attention. Like Megan does - say something slightly controversial and/or stupid about something popular, and wait for the fireworks. It’s kind of sad for Miley… she could be looking up to someone like Taylor Swift instead of trying to become the Budget Fox.

These photos and this story make me love Katie Holmes. The photos are from the weekend, when Katie and her “girls” went out to eat in Manhattan, and Katie had several glasses of wine. Her “girls” are her mom, her daughter Suri, and her stepdaughter Isabella. Ten bucks says that Isabella had a few glasses of wine too. Either that, or Bella promptly called her dad after dinner to narc on her step mom. Anyhoodle, I love when Katie looks animated. Anything to get her out of her morose, robotic Xenu stupor. Now, for this story - apparently, Katie and two girlfriends went to an actual movie theater to see New Moon. And then they talked through the whole thing! Hahaha! I bet the Twihards were about to kill Katie.

She may seem shy and reserved next to larger-than-life husband Tom Cruise, but it turns out Katie Holmes doesn’t know how to keep quiet when it counts.

Eyewitnesses tell Fox411 that Katie and a group of her girlfriends stopped by a movie theater near her Manhattan apartment Saturday to catch the latest installment of the “Twilight” series “New Moon” where they proceeded to ruin the film for moviegoers.

“Katie came into the movie theater with two of her girlfriends in a great mood,” sources tell Fox411. “They bought tickets in advance to see ‘New Moon’ like all the rest of the Twihards. They checked out the snacks and then they took their seats and kept talking.”

All that would have seemed rather normal, except for the fact that they kept on gabbing throughout the entire film!

“Katie talked through all of ‘New Moon.’ It was unbelievable – they talked nonstop about the movie and everything else. Some people wanted to tell them to be quiet, but when they realized who it was, they stayed silent. No one wanted to shush Katie.”

After the chatty escapade, Katie spent the rest of the weekend with her step-daughter Isabella and daughter Suri (once again spotted in cold weather with no coat). The three girls were spotted shopping Saturday, where Katie seemed completely unaware that she ruined “New Moon” for a few die-hard “Twilight” fans.

[From Fox News 411]

“No one wanted to shush Katie.” Probably because when they realized who it was, they thought to themselves “that poor girl… she probably never gets to speak at home.” That’s what I would think. Honestly, though, I hate when people talk in a theatre. It pisses me off to no end. That being said, if I went to see New Moon in the theatre, I would probably talk through it too. I would be yelling “Sparkles!” and “Oh, for the love of God, just do him!” So I give Katie a pass on this one. It’s good to see signs of life in her, isn’t it?

The spending power of the Twi-hards is impressive. Record-setting impressive. Thanks to all the kids decked out in R-Pattz baby tees and Twilight-emblazoned watches, the second film in the “Twilight” series made box office history this weekend and has racked up the third-highest opening gross in film history, bringing in an impressive $140.7 million. Not surprisingly, the audiences were 80% female. And I’m guessing about 15% of the 20% remaining males were dragged along by their girlfriends.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has had the third-biggest opening weekend in film history.

According to box office totals released Sunday, the vampire romance starring Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart grossed a stellar $140.7 million during its first weekend in theaters, earning $72.7 million on its Friday opening day alone.

“I dare say in all the office pools, I don’t think anyone had near this top gross,” Summit Entertainment distribution president Richie Fay said.

New Moon, the second installment in Summit’s Twilight Saga, also holds the record for most advance ticket sales. A reported 80% of all ticket buyers were women.

Heath Ledger’s The Dark Knight remains the top-grossing weekend box office earner, taking in $158.4 million during its first outing in 2008. Spider-Man 3 stays in second place, earning $151.1 million out of the gate in 2007.

New Moon’s opening weekend even trounced its predecessor’s box office totals.

Twilight earned $36 million on Nov. 21, 2008 and posted a three-day weekend take of $69.6 million.

[From Us Weekly]

I’m not surprised that New Moon earned so much more than Twilight. Obviously Twilight was big, but it was still a lot of people’s introduction to the Vampire series. There weren’t as many people lining up six hours in advance for tickets on the opening day. But the frenzy has steadily built since then, and everyone and their grandmother is into the series now.

The film hasn’t exactly gotten the greatest reviews, with the Times Online calling it “The cinematic equivalent of a Jonas Brothers concert.” Which, honestly isn’t the worst thing ever. It’s meant to appeal to teens and tweens, as are the Jonas Brothers. A film reviewer is likely to feel that they’re both slick and over-processed. Still, Twi-hards don’t give a damn about film reviews – all they care about is analyzing every gaze between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. And swooning. I feel like they care a lot about swooning. It’s good news for the whole Twilight cast, who can obviously expect their fame to rise even higher.

You know that critics hate a movie when celebrity-friendly People magazine runs a negative review. The much-anticipated second film in the Twilight series, New Moon, opened to record-setting crowds at midnight yesterday. It’s sure to rake in a ton of money at the box office, but that doesn’t mean that non-fans will necessarily love it. Critics are saying it’s way too long at over two hours, too teen-focused and too dark. It’s probably loyal to the book, then, because Meyer’s New Moon really dragged in parts and was full of depressing naval-gazing. The film has an aggregate critics’ rating of 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t abysmal, but isn’t that good either. Here’s what people are saying about it.

Though the battles between good and evil vampires and between vampires and wolves generate excitement, mostly Moon is a stilted, soapy supernatural romance. - People

The cinematic equivalent of a Jonas Brothers concert, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is slickly packaged entertainment that’s nonetheless predicated on a creepy vision of teenage sexuality that is desiccated of, well, sexuality. *Two out of five stars - Times Online

New Moon offers few of the juicy, go-for-broke romantic pleasures of its predecessor, and the movie is so badly shaped that it’s hard not to blame Weitz as a director. - Salon.com

If the first instalment of The Twilight Saga was a celebration of teenage sulkiness, then this sequel positively drowns in it. - Digital Spy

The film is a major let down from the first one, which I found to be intense and powerful. There was such great chemistry between the characters of Edward and Bella in Twilight and that, to me, was completely lacking in the sequel. - BDKReviews

In “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the boys preen way more than the girls. Robert Pattinson’s Edward has the stylish wardrobe, the eyeliner, the rouge, the lip gloss and the perfect hair, while Taylor Lautner’s Jake spends most of his time whipping off his shirt in the rain so his abs can sparkle. At the screening I attended, dozens of teen girls squealed multiple times at the sight of Pattinson walking in slow motion, Lautner flexing his pecs. The only thing missing was a cameo by the Jonas Brothers. In the meantime, Kristen Stewart’s Bella is now 18, but she wears no discernible makeup, dresses like a 12-year-old boy and has two moods: pouting and sullen. No wonder 14-year-old girls love these books and movies. The female lead isn’t threatening, and the boys are studly and always fighting over her. - Richard Roeper

I love reading scathing reviews, and I could include more, but you can read them through Rotten Tomatoes if you like. The bottom line is that fans are going to go see this movie and that they’ll probably drag their moms, cousins, and friends along. I’m kind of iffy on it now that I’ve read these reviews and I might just wait for the DVD. This is part of my job and I write off all my movie tickets, but if the film is too long and lacks the appeal of the first one I’m likely to skip it. I have a short attention span and walked out of this year’s Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince because it seemed too boring.

Not that occasional decisions like mine will hurt ticket sales at all. This film will be a huge hit, and that’s why there’s absolutely no pressure on the Twilight filmmakers to put out a decent story. Director Chris Weitz seems to realize that he’s put out an inferior product for whatever reason. He told MovieMaker Magazine “Every time I make a movie I’m pretty much convinced it’s the last time I’m going to be able to do it and that really it’s a rather silly occupation to undertake.” Weitz seemed to be complaining about the final, unapproved edits to his film The Golden Compass, but he might have been talking about his more recent experience with New Moon. Filming guys taking their shirts off and swooning over a brooding girl might not be artistically rewarding, but it does earn a boatload of cash.

New Moon comments are from 1:00 to 1:30
In a recent radio interview, Miley Cyrus trashed all the New Moon hype ahead of the movie’s opening. She said that she doesn’t like it at all and that she wants nothing to do with it. It’s all too strange for Miley. Maybe she’ll convince a few Twihard tweens to step away from the sparkle.

With the release of “New Moon” just a few days away, “Twilight” mania seems to be taking over Hollywood. But at least one starlet wants nothing to do with the vampire craze. In a backstage interview at a show in Cleveland, Miley Cyrus told radio station Q92 that she’s neither Team Edward nor Team Jacob — in fact, she’s not even on team “Twilight.” The singer said that not only has she never watched the vampire flick, but she doesn’t plan to.

“I’ve never seen it and nor will I ever,” Miley told surprised Q92 reporter Nikolina. The starlet went on to elaborate on what exactly it is about “Twilight” that offends her.

“I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires. … I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t like it. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it,” she said.

But Miley knows she’s in the minority when it comes to teenagers and the “Twilight” phenomenon: “I feel really lame because everyone’s, like, so excited, and I’m like, ‘Don’t even talk about it.’ ”

Yet, as anti-”Twilight” as she may be, the “Hannah Montana” actress might just be forced to watch the series — if nothing more than for research. The singer recently signed up to work with “Twilight” producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey on “Wings,” a fantasy movie — which bears some resemblance to the vampire series — about a 15-year-old who becomes a fairy.

Miley also talked in the interview (above) about how she enjoys sightseeing. She said she’ll often go out alone to explore a new city and that she’s not afraid because she’s decent at disguising herself and keeping her head down. She also admitted she has extensions in her hair, and said she’s not coming back to Twitter. As for who she enjoys listening to, Miley likes The Killers, Bon Iver, and recommends Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page’s iTune playlist. For Christmas she wants a yellow Jeep Wrangler. Not like she couldn’t buy it herself.

As MTV points out, Miley definitely forges her own way and doesn’t follow trends. She recently admitted that she’d never heard a Jay-Z song despite name dropping him in her song “Party in the U.S.A.” Do you think Miley tries too hard not to be mainstream despite the fact that her career is just that? She loves Sex and The City, though, so maybe she just doesn’t like whatever’s aimed at kids.

That means water bottles, to those of you hoping for a 32 cent Edward Cullen action figure.

Thirty percent off Borders is a pretty good deal, I wonder if it’s only for New Moon stuff? As long as you only have to buy the food – but not eat it – I could definitely go for that. Although I admit, those six little burger shots are super cute. And while I try to place health as my number one priority, it’s rare you find adorable food. I bet I could fit two into my diet plan. And I will absolutely by using my Team Jacob eco-friendly water bottle and wearing my Burger King Twilight crown when I browse for books. Seriously, I joke, but Burger King knows how to get attention and give people what they want. I can’t imagine any brand to jump on board with like Twilight. And it’s smart to appeal to teenagers and adults with your promotions, instead of just kids.

Plus, when you’re wearing your Twilight shirt from Torrid and your free Toys R Us bracelet while eating your six teeny tiny hamburgers, you’re going to look awesome. And that’s reason enough right there.

We were not paid to endorse this product and Burger King is not one of our advertisers as far as we know.

Sometimes I get a little obsessive with my Sparkles addiction, but he’s been annoying me lately. He’s actually been pissing me off so much I’ve started comparing him to Megan Fox - overexposed, vapid, verbal diarrhea, topped with crappy hair. So for the next week or so of New Moon’s promotion, I’m going to try to give the new kid, Taylor Lautner, some respect. I’ve been thinking the 17-year-old is a cutie for a while, but after reading some of his interviews, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s one of the sweetest kids around.

First up, I was going to do this big thing about Taylor being on the December cover of Men’s Health, but the interview is non-existent, and the cover shot isn’t that awesome (he’s got his shirt on), so whatever. In case you want to hear from Taylor’s trainer, though, I give you “Sculpt a Monster 6-Pack: Taylor Lautner’s secret formula for big-screen abs”. The one so-so quote from Taylor: “My character continues to grow, so I’d like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds.”

Next up, there are a ton of New Moon-related articles and interviews with the cast over at MTV. Seriously, MTV is all over this. Which makes me feel really, really old. When discussing the whole “Team Jacob” versus “Team Edward” fan frenzy, Taylor gave his take: “It just depends on your type … If you believe in that friendship and you guys are friends at first and you develop this deep friendship and then all of a sudden fall in love later on, then you should be Team Jacob. But, if you believe in love at first sight, seeing that mysterious man in the corner, then alright, join Team Edward.” Damn, I would have been crushing on this kid so hard when I was twelve. He would have, like, totally understood me.

Next up, Taylor talks about how much he loves Kristen Stewart. This, I totally buy. Kristen totally saved Taylor from being fired, pulling whatever rank she had to forcibly “encourage” the studio to stay with Taylor. A few months ago Taylor and K. Stew did the cover of Entertainment Weekly, and they went on and on about how they adore each other. Kristen said at the time: “I love that kid… I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally. We have that relationship [like Bella and Jacob]. It’s lamely cute.” But alas, Kristen doesn’t quite like him in the romantic way, because she treats him like a little brother, telling him he “needs a little more growing up to do. You need to grow into your cojones.” Taylor response: “Okay…. I’m not sure if that was a compliment.” It wasn’t. Here’s MTV’s interview with the two:

Taylor Lautner is getting to know exactly how his co-stars in ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart must feel, as they are also continually hounded by the media. In a new interview he discusses working with his co-stars and how adjusting to fame is a challenge.

Lautner on working with Robert and Kristen: “Kristen is great, I have a lot of fun with her, we’re very close and the chemistry we have behind the scenes will be reflected in the movie. Rob and I are friends in real life, but when the cameras start rolling we loathe each other.”

When asked about his life changing with the ‘Twilight’ success he says, “The Twilight experience has given me a new life. My daily schedule has changed a lot, I’m very busy now. We filmed Twilight and when we were done, we started doing promotion tours and all these fun things. Until the movie came out we were able to rest and go home, but then almost immediatly we went back to film New Moon.” He adds, “Sometimes I’m afraid of going out, especially when there’s a lot of fans who want to come up to you, but I try to have as much fun as possible with the fame. Sometimes I have to hear a hat and glasses to go out and not be recognized. Depends on the day.”

[From The Examiner]

Sweet kid, yes? I love him. Would you like another reason to love Taylor and his squeaky-clean image? Robert Pattinson (Sparkles!) gave another crappy interview to MTV where he basically dashed the hopes of all the little Twihards. He’s talking about how Edward is a “jerk” and he says “I love Charlie — Bella’s dad’s — attitude toward Edward in this one; he never gives him a break about anything, he’s just constantly saying, ‘That guy. He’s just terrible for you.’ I guess the restraining order wouldn’t really be very good for anyone. But [Bella] could use a restraining order. I think if [Edward] wasn’t a vampire, and this was in reality, a girl’s parents would think he was an oddball.” Haha, way to glamorize stalking, a-hole.

Aren’t these pictures cute? Sparkles Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner have taken their New Moon promotional duties to Paris for interviews and this photo call. Sparkles looks like he just woke up, doesn’t he? And his rat’s nest hair looks… deflated. Limp, if you will. I hate myself for saying this… but Sparkles looks better with big hair. I’ve gotten used to see his hair really, really high and looking like a rat’s nest, and seeing him so deflated is a bit disconcerting. Poor Sparkles. But doesn’t Kristen Stewart look gorgeous? I love that dress! She looks very ladylike and Sparkles probably busted something when he saw her. And by “busted something” I mean “he sparkled in his pants”.

Meanwhile, a new interview with Pattinson was just released in New Magazine. I don’t have the complete interview, only excerpts, and I just have to say… this kid needs a publicist. Badly. Because he’s starting to come across as some Megan Fox type, a guy how can’t shut up about all of his issues. Pattinson’s big revelation is that he’s “manic depressive”. I put that in quotes because he hasn’t really been diagnosed as a manic-depressive, he just thinks he is. Or he’s just saying he is. Either way, I kind of feel like slapping him.

Robert Pattinson has shocked his legions of female fans by uncovering his dark side - the actor suffers bouts of manic depression.

The Twilight hunk often endures mood swings and although he doesn’t have an official diagnosis, he’s convinced he suffers from the condition, also known as bipolar disorder.

Pattinson insists the problem, which is characterized by intense feelings of depression followed by swings of extreme happiness, often only shows itself when he is in a relationship.

He tells Britain’s New magazine, “You over-analyze everything - you analyze how if you say one thing, someone likes you, and if you say another, they don’t. You begin to experiment on people, which isn’t good for real life. I don’t think I’m very romantic any more - just manic depressive.”

[From New Magazine via Contact Music]

Now, here’s the thing. I could totally accept if Pattinson really was manic-depressive, if he had a real diagnosis. And it’s no laughing matter - true manic-depression is a very, very serious condition. And that’s just it - if Pattinson really was a manic depressive, I have doubts that he would be able to function. It sounds a lot like Megan Fox’s comment “I think I’m a borderline personality - or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia.” I hate when these young celebrities throw around terms that don’t get.

On a lighter note, Sparkles also talked about how he’s dirty all the time. Gee, what a prince, right? Manic depression and he doesn’t shower or wash his clothes? Sign me up!

Robert Pattinson stinks. Literally.

The sought-after Twilight actor — romantically linked to Kristen Stewart, his face adorning the bedroom walls of millions of fans — warns would-be suitors to keep their distance or risk a certain aroma.

In an interview posted by UK’s New! magazine, Pattinson says that he rarely changes his clothes. “These jeans are a few days old,” he says. “But the top is probably fresh because it gets to the point where even I can’t stand the air around me. I don’t know, my personal hygiene – it’s so disgusting!” He explains that his constant travel schedule pares down his wardrobe quite a bit.

His career, if anything, has dampened his mojo: “Acting ruined my seduction techniques because you start to think everything is a ‘method.’”

Not that he isn’t still obsessed with women: “A lot of my ambitions are tied up with wanting pretty girls to like me,” he says. The self-deprecating Brit adds, “any girl I’ve ever really wanted to go out with in the past, I’ve always lost to someone else!”

[From Us Weekly]

Oh, for goodness sake. Take a valium and do some laundry. It’s not that f-cking difficult. And you know what? Sparkles has probably been living in hotels for months, and the hotels would easily wash his clothes for him! He’s so lazy, he won’t even call someone and have them pick up his stuff. Ugh.
