The Awful Truth

New Moon is going to open huge today, no doubt about it, so it's never too soon to look ahead. 

We recently chatted with producer Bill Bannerman and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg about what fans can expect for Eclipse—the third film in The Twilight Saga, due next summer. Many reports have called it much darker, with new director David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night), so we asked if the PG-13 audience would still be able to hang. 

Plus, we've got more updates for you on the fate of Breaking Dawn...

Although Twilight and New Moon screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg played coy when Marc Malkin asked whether she would write the screenplay for Breaking Dawn last month, we were able to confirm from our studio sources that she will, in fact, be back to write the fourth script—and possibly the fifth.

It's still up in the air whether B.D. will be two movies—hence why everyone dodged any questions about the fourth flick during the New Moon junket.

During the press conference a reporter asked Kristen Stewart about the possibility of two movies, but the mic was immediately pulled away as the intermediary guy said "next question."

So what's the latest on the fourth Twilight flick? And will New Moon's Chris Weitz direct?

Here's what we could squeeze out of the cast:

Dear Ted:
I've been reading your column forever...even when there weren't that many celeb gossip blogs, and you are still the best! The Twilight saga is a guilty pleasure, and I was wondering what you think of Johnny Depp as one of the Romanians in Breaking Dawn? I know it's a stretch but his daughter apparently loves the series, and he might be one of the few actors who could do a Transylvanian accent without looking like a tool.
—Adriana, Toronto

Dear Too Hot To Think About:
Johnny trading in his pirate costume? Sounds oddly possible. But would a serious actor like Depp want to keep doing "kid" movies? Not that us adults aren't mouthwatering like nuts over them. So, maybe he could?

Dear Ted:
Why, why, why Ted? You've really got the Twihards panties in a twist over the latest Robsten news. Those two were absolutely getting bombarded with fangirls and paps who then had the audacity to follow the couple into their hotel lobby. And it sounded to me like Robert Pattinson was apologizing to a fangirl, not Kristen Stewart. Play nice! We Robsten fans can be very delicate creatures ya know. Plus, I only want to see a good public fight if it's followed by a steamy PDA!
—Bubble

Dear No Fun:
We said they weren't fighting in public! Sure, if you want to watch it a billion times, he could be talking to a fangirl, or he could be talking to Kristen. Who really knows? Point is no one should read into it, Robsten is fine. For now, at least.

Dear Ted:
Who do you think wears the pants in the Robsten relationship?
—Erin

Dear Stretch Jeans:
I think it goes back and forth. Kristen did for a while, though.

Dear Ted:
Oh puhleez! The women who slept with Dave Letterman are not victims. His wife is the only victim here. They knew he was involved and chose to sleep with him anyway. Any woman who willingly sleeps with a boss to either save or advance her career is accountable for her own actions. Dignity and self-respect should not have a price. Did he abuse his position of power? Yes, but only because they let him. Oh and to compare this to celebs defending Roman Polanski is a bit of a stretch. Dave is a douchebag husband. Polanski is a criminal.
—Sandra

Dear Womanizer:
Sorry, a womanizing culture helps breed worse crimes like rape. I'm surprised, as a woman, you aren't more sensitive to that.

Dear Ted:
The latest two Hollywood news stories make me think Hollywood really is far removed from the real world. First Polanski and now Letterman. Last time I checked, it wasn't the best idea to sleep with your employees. Is Hollywood the only place in America where, if affairs are discovered, the boss gets to keep his job? Why are celebrities sticking up for Letterman? How can the Hollywood types criticize the scuzzy things Bill O'Reilly did but not criticize Letterman? Seems to me the Letterman thing has all kinds of legal implications beyond the extortion case.
—Confused

Dear Not So Real World:
Honey, surely this can't be the first indicator that things are totally effed in this town. How about all the celebs who get busted for drugs and DUIs and never see the inside of a prison cell? Paris Hilton excluded, of course.

Dear Ted:
Rob Pattinson was caught being a gentleman. I was watching E! News and they said he used his body to block the paparazzi from taking pictures of Kristen Stewart. Aren't you so proud?
—Supergirl

Dear Ted:
I'm 100 perfect definitely in love with my BF, but when I started surfing online and was able to see this Twilight phenomenon, I started to get addicted to Kristen Stewart. I can't help myself looking for her latest news. For me, she's so hot, especially when she tries to dress up like on her cover photo shoots. Can you tell me what is her next project after shooting Eclipse and K-11? I'm hoping K.Stew does a movie with Ryan Gosling, they are both hot...probably a story about May-December affair. What do you think?
—Jasmine

Dear Gay for K.Stew:
Wow, another doll desiring a Gosling-Stewart onscreen hookup? H'wood execs, you paying attention? And K.S.'s next project after Eclipse will, duh, be Breaking Dawn. If she wants to film anything else, it's gotta work around B.D.'s schedule.

Dear Ted:
What has happened to Katie Holmes' fashion sense? She was revered as a fashion icon only a couple of years ago, and now she is beyond frumpy. In fact, she might be one of the worst dressed stars out there. Do her current outfits echo her state of mind (i.e. help me, I'm trapped in a fake, loveless marriage!)?
—TJS

Dear Horrible Holmes:
There's a ton of pressure of looking the part of Missus Cruise (times three)—now that everyone's used to her filling that role, she doesn't have to try so hard anymore. Plus, her daughter is stealing her fashion thunder every time they're seen out together anyway.

Dear Ted:  
You know an article was posted about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth dating and getting cozy. Where are the pictures and facts? I want to see them. If you guys were that smart and understood her tweets, you would know her boyfriend is Nick Jonas. Maybe I should work there. The bottom line is people with these stories are ruining her relationship with him—is that fair to them? What if someone did this to you?
—Leah

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will definitely be finishing what she started when it comes to adapting the fourth and final book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn. Deep Twi tells us that, although it won't officially be confirmed for a while, Melissa is tapped to finish out the films.

Marc Malkin chatted with Melissa last week, and while she was playing very coy about BD plans (as well as Robsten), using the whole "everything is still up in the air" line, our well-placed source dishes that it's a done deal.

Like we assured all Twi-fans last month, the entire crew—Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, etc.—will also be back to grace the big screen for the fourth time, too.

So any director updates? And how exactly will the final movie be made?

"There are no formal plans yet," Deep Twi tells us.

Uh, well, want to know why that is? We've heard a bit of incredibly juicy info...

Last time we chatted with Robsten pals and Twilight costars Michael Welch and Christian Serratos at the MTV Movie Awards, they said the Bella-Edward onscreen action was "only going to get hotter." So, just how hot is that?

"I doubt it'll go R-rated," informed Christian, when we dished with her and Mike at the Mi-6 club opening in West Hollywood. "But I think everyone is going to get exactly what they want [in the sequels]."

Guess Chris can't read our quasi-perverted thoughts, cause it definitely steps into triple-X territory. Maybe we should pick up one of these to sooth our nerves?

"I don't think so."

—Saga source Deep Twi, when we asked if Breaking Dawn would be split into two movies. The ambivalent response is a bit unusual for our dishy Twilight insider, so if you ask us we don't think the possibility of turning the fourth book into a Harry Potter-style two-part flick is entirely out of the question yet.

The idea has been floating around...

For all of you nervous Nellies who need everything to be 100 percent confirmed to believe it (that would be you, Robsten doubters), Summit has officially announced that Breaking Dawn is a go.

Like we told you months ago, Summit and the cast were onboard for the fourth film and they damn well planned to pump out this franchise basically as fast as possible. Why? Because the horny cast can't keep off each other—that's why. And that so hasn't changed, darlings. If anything, it's only gotten more twisted. So these movies need to get wrapped pronto before the cast really starts pissing each other off. Just ask Terry Tush-Trade, Twyla Babe-Sucker, Julie Bone Jumper and then some.

So is B.D. still on track to be PG like screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg dished a while back? And are any castmembers getting axed à la Rachelle Lefevre?

Hollywood's so damn unpredictable, so is there a possibility Rachelle Lefevre is going to be brought back for Breaking Dawn after all the fan rage? And is Mischa Barton raging in her own way out in New York? Plus, what Megan Fox is doing this week that has me more bothered than hot in today's Truth, Lies & Ted.

Just how much skin are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart going to show in the fourth Twilight flick, Breaking Dawn? And is the always lovely Anna Faris planning to get sexy with her fiancé totally alone…when they elope? Plus, I'm supercranky today with diva Tyra and friggin' Michael Jackson's druggy doctors in the new Truth, Lies & Ted.

After Robert Pattinson confirmed he was signed on for the fourth Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, back in Cannes, we've all been dying for more juicy deets on the hypersexualized film. (More on exactly how much naughtier the flick will be, next week.)

Yes, we know we're getting overeager since the script for the third flick, Eclipse, which starts shooting Aug. 17, hasn't even been finished yet.

"I haven't seen a page," exclaimed Ashley Greene, who's heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.

Even though we're getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what's in store for the final movie.
