Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz couldn’t get into his own party in Los Angeles. The actor, who plays Emmett Cullen in the hit vampire flick, turned up at the bash following the premiere of the latest film in the series. But despite hundreds of screaming girls chanting his name outside, security at the event at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles refused him entry because they had no idea who he was – much to his anger. An insider revealed: “He just snapped at the bouncer after a few seconds. “It looked like things were getting physical between them. “Lutz yelled to the crowd, ‘They won’t let me into my own party!’” In video of the incident shot by paparaazi, the crowd can be heard chanting, “Let him in! Let him in!” before a security guard ushers Lutz, 24, past the rope. New Moon hits cinemas in the US on Friday.

Vampire flick New Moon has become the biggest advance ticket-seller in Hollywood history, according to a movie ticket agency spokesperson. The new flick, which is the latest chapter in the Twilight saga, has beaten the 2005 movie Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith, according to online ticket agency Fandango. It is claimed that New Moon, which stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, has had 86 per cent of the ticket sales this weekend. Thousands of tickets for the Thursday night midnight shows have already sold out across the US, and some cinemas are putting on extra screenings to cater for demand. Fandango’s chief operating officer Rick Butler said: “For many fans, it’s clearly the year’s most anticipated film event. Ever since tickets went on sale on 31 August, it’s been among our top five weekly ticket-sellers, as New Moon has a strong pull on audiences.” He added: “We’re seeing a higher-than-than-usual number of tickets per transaction for this film, suggesting that moviegoers will show up en masse at theatres this weekend with their friends and family.” The first movie in the saga, Twilight, sold over $383.6m in ticket sales worldwide and producers are hoping New Moon will exceed this.

Bright young actress Emmy Rossum started her relationship with Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz on Twitter. She told a radio show: “I was on tour with the band this summer. They invited me actually on Twitter. That’s how we met – on a dare. They dared me to come sing with them a song that I’d never sung before. So I ended up on tour with the band, and it was very, very fun.” Rossum is emerging from a marriage break-up with Justin Siegel in August. She said: “I’m not asking for anything except freedom so that I can move on to another chapter in my life, and find happiness. “It’s hard to have a private life and keep it private and hope that people don’t pick you apart.”

sillypro — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:56:21 GMT

Twilight movie director Catherine Hardwicke strongly suggested co-stars Robert Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, have firmed as an item now that Stewart has come of age. Hardwicke, 54, who directed the first movie of the red-hot Twilight series, recalled: “After I cast him, I told Rob, ‘Don’t even think about having a romance with her. She’s under 18. You will be arrested.’” She was speaking to Time magazine, recalling the days when Pattinson and Stewart – strongly rumoured to be back together – first met up in Los Angeles. Pattinson had flown in to test for the indelible role of Edward Cullen. The director continued: “I didn’t have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say. But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn’t happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film.” Fast forward to the present, Hardwicke added: “I think it took a long time for Kristen to realise, OK, I’ve got to give this a go and really try to be with this person.”

Actress Molly Sims, 36, defended her former Las Vegas co-star Josh Duhamel who has been hit with allegations of two-timing his celebrity wife Fergie. Sims said: “Don’t believe everything you read. We e-mailed yesterday. It’s absolutely not true – and he’s a great guy. I’ve worked with him for five years.” Sims believes the couple has been targeted in a bid to make “a lot of money”. She said: “Josh is a great guy and it’s sad ’cause his wife is amazing, too.” Duhamel has denied the charge that he had a night of sex with stripper Nicole Forrester in Atlanta. Forrester made the allegation in a story she sold to the tabloid National Enquirer for $20,000. His representative said: “This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity. This story is absolutely ridiculous.”
