Nikki Reed Vents About the Pitfalls of Twilight Fame

Written by Kelly Bandas on November 17, 2011 – 9:14 am -

According to Breaking Dawn star Nikki Reed, the relationships on the set of the Twilight series are not as hunky dory as all of us Twi-hards would like to believe.

You mean you guys don’t all hold hands and sing songs around the catering table like you do in my fantasies?

Apparently, there’ve been a number of falling outs during filming and Nikki, for one, isn’t afraid to talk about them.  Without naming names, of course.

In the beginning, it was innocent and fun, and we were like one big happy family. It was like being at sleepaway camp. Success came along and changed the dynamic. We’re not all best friends, and we’re not all going to hang out together after the final movie is done. It was very, very sad. Let’s just leave it at that. Attachments grow when you’re working with the same people for so long. People are friends, people fall in love, people get in fights. We’re not all robots in that way. Sure, things have gone on, and it’s weird to have them be in the public eye.

Ooooh the struggles of being famous;  just wish there was a way to help ease her pain… Oh wait, there is… the BAG LOADS of money she made being a part of this series.

Nikki Reed Dating American Idol Paul McDonald!!

Written by Gossip Gal on April 15, 2011 – 7:10 pm -

OMG!! Actress Nikki Reed, best known for playing the role of Rosalie Hale in The Twilight Saga, is officially dating ousted American Idol contestant, Paul McDonald. No kidding!!

Nikki and Paul met when the Idol hopefuls were taken to the “Red Riding Hood” premiere (watch video here). The dating rumors started a couple of weeks ago. And Paul lost no time gushing about his incredibly supportive girlfriend as soon as he was eliminated from the competition last night.

“[Nikki's] supercool,” Paul said. “She’s been real supportive of this whole thing. She’s actually pumped up now because she likes my original material way better than all the stuff I do on the show.”

“It was weird. I haven’t ever actually watched any of her movies. I don’t know too much of her career at all, but the person she is super cool.”

“I told her I’m not watching any of [her movies] for a long time… She said, ‘I don’t want you watching’ and I was like ‘I don’t want to!’”

Paul, Paul, Paul. So Nikki supports your career and actually listens to your music and you won’t see her movies… bad boyfriend! I understand why, but if he is not even curious, that’s just wrong.

Paul also confessed he and Nikki are so busy that they don’t spent much time together. But they Skype!! Congratulations to Nikki and Paul! Do you think they make a hot couple, or what??

Nikki Reed Reveals Breaking Dawn Secrets

Written by Gossip Gal on October 9, 2010 – 6:20 pm -

Actress Nikki Reed, who recently announced she will soon become a jewelry designer, revealed a couple of secrets from the set of The Twilight Saga and confessed she just got the script for the upcoming last two installments, “Breaking Dawn” Part I and Part II, which begins filming in New Orleans this week.

In an exclusive interview for OK!, the 22 year-old shares a couple of irresistible details like how Peter Facinelli is a great chef and talks about the very controversial “birth scene”. Here are some highlights:

On special talents of her castmates: “Well Peter’s [Peter Facinelli] like a chef – a super chef. He makes a mean pasta with a vodka sauce,” Nikki shares. “Everyone is so different and the nice thing is we spend a fair amount of time apart even when we’re working, so it never gets weird or funny. Jackson brings his whole band when we’re shooting and they do their thing, Elizabeth and I go to the gym and do fun stuff like that. Kristen does her thing.”

On future plans: “I’m going to school actually while we’re shooting. I’m taking a couple of courses. I’m talking five, but I was just told that two are unavailable so I’m waiting to see. I’m taking a language course, I’m taking a writing course, I’m really trying to take a Greek mythology course and a psychology course. There’s so many prerequisites for this psychology. I always try to stay productive and do things that I feel nourish the brain.”

On Breaking Dawn: “It looks really fantastic. I didn’t know how it was going to happen, how much they’d separate from the book, but it’s all there, it’s great. All the really comic moments that Jacob and I have together are all in there. And also, she [Rosalie] really is a sympathetic character in a sense. You get to really understand why she’s been the way she’s been. And to see her interact with a child — if I do it the right way, let’s cross our fingers that I portray it accurately – it’s kind of a really intense bond that we have that I think is really relatable. I’m look forward to humanizing her a bit, if you know what I mean. Wink wink.”

On Breaking Dawn’s controversial birth scene: “It’s intense. Once again, it’s going to be a whole other thing to see visually. We have the book and then the transition to the script.”

Nikki Reed To Become A Jewelry Designer

Written by Gossip Gal on October 9, 2010 – 12:03 pm -

Actress Nikki Reed, best known for her role as Rosalie Hale in The Twilight Saga, revealed she will soon become a jewelry designer because she absolutely loves jewelry and wants to create something different.

“I’m working on collaborating with someone to create a line because I’m really into jewelry,” she told In Touch at the Swatch New Gent Collection launch at New York’s Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel on October 6.

The 22 year-old actress, who is also a screenwriter and music video director, confessed she is really into the “skull thing right now”, so her jewelry line will be naturally influenced by her latest obsession.

Is Nikki ready to design vampire jewelry? It could be a hit! Twi-hards would love it… I’d love it and Halloween is coming. Why not look fabulous on Halloween too? Yeah, I’m kind of sick of those cheap Halloween costumes and “jewelry”. I digress.

Good luck, Nikki!!

Eclipse Premiere PHOTOS: Ashley Greene vs. Nikki Reed!

Written by Gossip Gal on June 25, 2010 – 5:59 pm -

The much anticipated third movie of The Twilight Saga, “Eclipse”, finally premiered during a star-studded night of the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California on Thursday (June 24). Our favorite stars were greeted by screaming fans, who waited in line for days to be able to watch them walk down the glamorous black carpet.

The Cullen clan girls, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed, were like gorgeous angels in soft blue – gown by Alexis Mabille and super cute mini dress by Marchesa, respectively. They chose almost exactly the same color but really different styles. Ashley looked like a Greek goddess, while Nikki decided to have more fun with some feathers. Nikki wins this round!

Nikki Reed Says NO To Twitter

Written by Gossip Gal on June 9, 2010 – 3:22 pm -

Actress Nikki Reed, just like her former BFF Kristen Stewart, is also not a fan of the popular social networking site, Twitter. Nikki feels like everything she or any of her co-stars say gets twisted and misinterpreted, so don’t expect her to speak her mind on Twitter anytime soon.

“I don’t think something like Twitter is for me because I’ll just end up getting myself in trouble with what I accidentally say,” Reed told People. “You’ve seen what’s happened to some of my other cast members recently.”

“It’s unfortunate that everything everyone says gets misinterpreted, but I think things get misinterpreted when you’re looking for a way to find a subtext to what someone is saying,” she says. “It’s just the nature of this business and being a part of this film.”

At least Nikki understands this is all part of the job. This is who she chose to be. She could have become a doctor, a nun, but she chose to be an actress. And Nikki is a damn good one!

Nikki Reed On Kellan Lutz’s Underwear Ads

Written by Gossip Gal on February 26, 2010 – 3:54 am -

Actress Nikki Reed was quite impressed when she saw her Twilight co-star Kellan Lutznearly naked in Calvin Klein underwear for their new advertising campaign (photos here).

“I think he looks fantastic I’m actually really proud of him. It takes a lot of balls, no pun intended, to stand and pose like that,” Reed said. “I wouldn’t have the guts to stand there naked like that.”

Unless, she added with a laugh, “I looked like Eva Mendes.”

Kellan wasn’t exactly naked… it’s like he is on the beach but wearing tight fitting white underwear! Of course you need some confidence to pose like that. But with a body like Kellan’s, we don’t think he has confidence issues. He is a GUY!!
