In the upcoming release of the second film in The Twilight Saga, some characters with limited screen time will see their roles expanded. One fan favorite from the books was Jasper Hale, played by Jackson Rathbone, and he had a very small part in the first movie. That’s about to change. In New Moon and the now-filming third installment, Eclipse, Rathbone will have a chance to give depth to his Civil War Era human-turned-mood-altering-vampire.

“I’ve been studying up a lot on the Civil War and that era; it really was a crazy time, it was all-out war on our own turf and between countrymen,” Jackson told MTV News. “It’s an interesting time to see when Jasper was actually human, and what his human form was, and when he gets turned how intense and how dark he is. Then [we'll see] his realization of what he’s become, him finding Alice and being redeemed by love.”

In Eclipse, the Cullen family needs a leader and Jasper steps up to the plate to deliver the fighting techniques they’ll need to defeat Victoria’s army of blood thirsty newborns. Rathbone is given more substance to work with in the coming films and says that fans will get to see Jasper work his emotion calming magic in a school scene in New Moon. Jasper happens to be the character I like most and I’m looking forward to Jackson having more scenes in the next two flicks.

We have more ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ casting news to bring you: Along with Jodelle Ferland as (possibly) Bree, Bryce Dallas Howard as the new Victoria and Xavier Samuel as Riley, Royce and Maria have been announced as the filming begins at the end of August in Vancouver.

Jack Huston will play Royce King II, Rosalie’s (Nikki Reed) dastardly fiance and Catalina Sandino Morena will be Maria, the vampire who creates an army of newborns and turns Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) into a soldier for her clan’s dominance.

Britian’s Prince Harry and his girlfriend of 5 years, Chelsy Davy, have called an end to their relationship. The two spent time recently on a luxury vacation to try to rekindle the romance but apparently, it didn’t work.

A well-placed royal source close to the young prince told us: “Yes, they have split, they are not together. But they are still friendly and still amicable.

 

“They have been going out for five years and the relationship had run its course. This happens.”

Davy is looking forward to her career in law and Prince Harry is devoting more time to his career in the british military. The prince will have a tough time of it, no girlfriend and a ban on alcohol that comes with his piloting course.

The Throne Rangers (girls who just want to date/marry a prince) will be out in full force now.

Britian’s Prince Harry has found himself in hot water again. This time, the wayward Prince has had a video from 2006 turn up and he is heard referring to another soldier using a racist slur.

[...]Harry referred to one colleague as “our little paki friend” — using a derogatory term for people of Pakistani origin.

It reported that he called another cadet — who was wearing a headscarf — a “raghead.” The newspaper said that the video was filmed by other cadets and supplied to the newspaper.

This is not the first time Prince Harry has been at the center of a racist row. In 2005 he was photographed wearing a uniform with a swastika armband for a costume party his friends were having.

The prince has issued an apology for his insensitivity and continues to try to become an elite army helicopter pilot. See the video here and tell us what you think of Prince Harry’s remarks.
