Jackson Rathbone And Girlfriend Expecting A Baby

Oh, boy. Cue the baby vampire jokes, people. Jackson Rathbone — a.k.a. strong silent Jasper Hale in Twilight, a.k.a. lead singer of 100 Monkeys, a.k.a. a distinguished Weekly Hotness alumnus — and his girlfriend Sheila Hafsadi are expecting their first child, Us Weekly reports. The actor, 27, met his fair green-haired-and-tattooed lady while on tour with 100 Monkeys. She is said to be five months pregnant.

The Internets say Hafsadi, 24, is a burlesque dancer, and some say she was working at the Venice Beach Freakshow. But we have yet to locate photos or any other proof of this. And we think it would be super cool to see them. She seems pretty adorable, from what we’ve seen, and has the requisite awesome tats.

Jackson Rathbone Is This Week’s Hotness!


Wow, Jackson Rathbone fans. You guys are a very enthusiastic bunch. Unless you are all actually our own Ambika Muttoo, pressing refresh for the past 24 hours. Not that we in any way dispute that Jackson totally deserves his title as this week’s Hotness. We just thought it would be a tiny bit more of an even fight against his adoptive vampire bro, Kellan Lutz. But when voting closed earlier this afternoon, Jackson had won by 80 percent to Kellan’s 20.

The consolation? Kesmett fans can see more of their hero in Immortals this weekend. While Jackson fans will have to wait one more week for the release of Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Or you can browse through this photo montage of Jackson being very, very excited about your undying devotion.

Kellan Lutz Vs. Jackson Rathbone: Who Should Be This Week’s Hotness?


I realize I am causing your heads to hurt with this one, Twilighters. Or not. I know there are the die-hard Jasper and Emmett supporters who have eyes for no one but their chosen Cullen vampire. But then there are those of us who will have a very hard time deciding between Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone. But in honor of next week’s Breaking Dawn premiere, we are MAKING you choose.

I don’t normally go for the brawny types, but I might make an exception for Kells — that dimple and mischievous twinkle in his eyes gets me every time. His pre-Twilight modeling career gives him an advantage here, too — the boy knows how to pose. And have you seen pics of him in Immortals?

In the first Twilight, we’re not sure Jackson’s bleached hair did him any real favors, but Jasper has since learned the value of lowlights and really got to shine in battle in Eclipse. Outside of the Twi-verse, he’s got the whole rocker thing going for him. And with those warm hazel eyes and adorable cleft chin, he might be stealing hearts away from the muscle-loving Emmett fans.

This is no Jacob vs. Edward chose here, but it’s a test nonetheless. Flip through the pics and vote. Poll will close at 2 p.m. on Friday.

Jackson Rathbone And Nikki Reed Bring Breaking Dawn To Madrid And Rome

Dang! Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone are giving Ashley Greene and Robert Pattinson some serious competition in the premiere department. RPattz and Ashley had paired up to attend The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 events in Paris and Brussels and they looked pretty great. But Nikki and Jackson — and please forgive us for saying this — have blown them out of the water in the wardrobe department. They also look like they’ve been having fun!

For the photocall in Madrid on Friday night, Nikki wore a cherry-red dress that looked perfect with her chocolate brown hair and paired it with really interesting taupe suede ankle-wrap sandals from Camilla Skovgaard. Jackson looked delish in a jeans-and-blazer combination. For the premiere, the actress put on a really funky green and black polka-dotted dress by Topshop. Jackson, on the other hand, is the only person we know (“know” being a term used loosely) who can pull off an aubergine suit and navy blue shirt. Click after the jump to hear about what they wore in Rome and to access the gallery. (more…)

Every Breaking Dawn Sex Scene Quote We Can Find


This job can be very difficult sometimes. We practically need to file for worker’s comp after this one: We’ve gathered every quote we could — from Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and a couple of special guests — about the Breaking Dawn sex scenes. Beginning with the latest, from KStew in her cover story for Glamour U.K.:

“It was so weird, it didn’t even feel like we were doing a Twilight film. I was like, ‘Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?! It was very surreal. We [originally] got rated R. They re-cut it.” — Kristen in Glamour U.K.

“You just get lubed up and jump right into it! Everyone always says it about sex scenes in movies — it’s really awkward and blah, blah, blah — but it is! You’re playing Twister.” Robert to MTV News

Rumors We Love: Ashley And Jackson’s Makeout Fest

We LOVE it when co-stars get together (Robsten, anyone?), and we are particularly fond of Ashley Greene and Jackson Rathbone. Maybe it’s because of Ashley’s sweet personality and timeless beauty, or the way Jackson got our panties twisted when we interviewed him at the Eclipse premiere. (That Southern charm and those blue eyes are the real deal, ya’ll! He had us swooning.) Or perhaps it’s that we adore the relationship of their Twilight characters, Alice and Jasper, and have a thing for on-screen couples who do it IRL. Whatever it is, when we read this report that Jackson and Ashley were making out after Jackson’s 100 Monkeys concert in LA this weekend, we for reals shouted, “PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUEEEEEEE!!”

Yes, according to The Daily, the pair was spotted getting their kiss on all night at Angels and Kings, where Nikki Reed and American Idol boyfriend Paul McDonald were also hanging out. In April, Ashley and Jackson were allegedly caught holding hands while out to lunch. While this could just be a case of friends with benefits, we’re praying to the celeb couple gods that it’s true love destined for dog adopting and airport cuddling…like another pair of on n’ off screen lovebirds we adore so much.

The Twilight Cast: 25 Pics Of The Way They Were

Memoriesssss…like the corners of my mind…No, our eyes aren’t watery – we are straight up CRYING today, because the shooting of Breaking Dawn is officially over. You know what that means, right? No more Twilight movies in production! Ever! Guises…it’s OVER. Okay, so maybe it’s more like the beginning of the end, but we’re still feeling emotional and nostalgic. Some memories we’ve reflected on today as we’ve looked back on three magical years together:

  • A time when Robert Pattinson was just “that guy with the hair” to us. How naive we were.
  • Nikki and Kristen‘s hand-holding BFF-ship (oh, how times change).
  • Cathy Hardwicke just being Cathy! Kooky ol’ Cathy.
  • Comic Con! Kristen wore flip flops!
  • The 2008 MTV VMAS – the hottest the cast has ever looked on a red carpet, ever.
  • Rachelle LaFevre…so beautiful, so missed. Er, what – are we being dramatic?
  • The evolution of everyone’s red carpet style. Yes, there was a time when Ashley wore flip flops on carpets and Rob wore all black suits, and oh, they looked adorable.
  • Taylor Lauter, pre-abs.
  • Edi Gathegi and Cam Gigandet, two of our fave dudes (with the best last names) from the first film who left us too soon. RIP Laurent and James.
  • Oregano who?

We dug through a ton of photos today to bring you some of our favorites from the fall of 2008, when Twilight was just being released and the cast had yet to be propelled into mega-fame. Think of it as a Twilight 2008 yearbook, with this as our sign-off: It’s so hard 2 say goodbye 2 yesterday.

Sniff.

Jackson Rathbone Schools Us On Music And Then Jams On His Harmonica

The one time we chatted with Jackson Rathbone on the red carpet at the Eclipse premiere he blew our mind with his hardcore music knowledge. (And his eyes. Wow, those eyes). It was no different at the Spike Scream Awards, where he rattled of a lengthy list of the instruments he jams out out when we asked if he played Rock Band. (Answer: he doesn’t.)

Then, in one of the weirder red carpet moments we’ve ever seen, he whipped a harmonica out of his pocket and started playing. It.Is. Awesome.

New Eclipse Still Delivers Steaminess The Trailer Lacks

We recently vented about the latest Eclipse trailer and its lack of sexual tension. Looks like Summit heard our cries, and released this bonerlicious still of Bella and Edward about to suck face. We’ll take it. [Photo: Summit Entertainment]
