In honor of Kristen Stewart’s 22nd birthday, we are putting some fabulous pictures of her from the Breaking Dawn Part 1 Red Carpet Premiere in Los Angeles last year. We love that Kristen is not afraid to kick off her heels and wear Nikes with her gorgeous dress, as you will see in the last photo! Photography produced by Sabrina Inc for the Pattinson Post.

Actress Marlane Barnes plays the character of Maggie, a member of the Irish Coven in the The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, arriving in theaters on November 16th, 2012.  She attended the Red Carpet premiere in Los Angeles for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. We caught up with her recently for this interview.

Were you familiar with the Twilight series before you got the part? How was it for you, as an actor, to come into the last movie of the Twilight series?

I actually was not! I’m always the last person to know about things in pop culture. But, before I auditioned, I read synopses on fan sites and watched the first two movies to get to know the world. When I was actually cast, I was floored. I mean, it’s such a huge franchise and the fan base is so involved that I did worry at first that I wouldn’t be what everyone was hoping for! But, then you just have to trust the production team and yourself and do your best.

What was it like working with the director, Bill Condon on Breaking Dawn?

Bill is a very sweet, intelligent, and considerate man. He was great to work with, because I really felt like he was invested in everyone’s experience and input on the film. He created a collaborative environment on set, which was great considering how many of us were new to the franchise. I also loved the direction that he took Part One, so I am very excited to see Part Two!

What can you tell us about the Irish coven vampires, especially your character Maggie?

The Irish coven has seen and experienced a lot. Literature speaks to the Irish as a people who have a huge history of enduring and suffering oppression. They are also big on family, so I chose that Maggie had once come from a big family. Even though she doesn’t remember a lot of it, she has a lasting impression that it is something worth fighting for. So, I felt very strongly that she would be committed to helping the Cullen’s stay together and be very suspicious of any peace offering from the Volturi. I also felt that she was newer to being a vampire than Siobahn and Liam. They had seen and been through even more as a pair. The Irish coven is definitely a brave and resolute group – they do what they came to do and then they make their exit!

Your blog has some fun information on your design work – is that another direction you see your career going toward?

I see design as more of a hobby for me right now, because it’s something I do to relax and I wouldn’t want it to feel like work. Plus, beyond my own little home-improvement projects, it’s hard to find time to commit to another art form regularly enough to do it justice. But now that you ask though, I have had a little dream of fixing up and reselling some of the great Craftsman style houses in east LA – with the help of a professional of course.

Did you start your social media account as part of the Breaking Dawn promotion or have you been doing social media for a while? Do you like social media as a tool to reach your audience?

I actually got my name on Twitter a few years ago, before Summit released the info I had never really used it much. Now, it’s such an easy and personal way to connect with everyone- I have really embraced it. But, I am still learning about what makes a good tweet!

Did you enjoy the Red Carpet experience for Breaking Dawn Part 1?

I did! Because it was my first red carpet, I was anxious about everything coming together. I was amazed at the number of choices I had to make. Once I was there, I felt an instant connection with the fans and especially the interviewers who were from fan sites. A couple of them were even from the very first fan sites I had looked at to learn about the series, like Twilight Lexicon. I got to have my own little “Oh hey, you guys are great!” moment.

What are your upcoming projects?

I have an independent feature shooting this summer called “Stuff It”. It’s a horror-comedy about a boy named Wally who begins to taxidermy an entire town, because he thinks his dead father wants him to. I play his fiancée, Mattie, who has big dreams of her own and has no idea what is going on! I am actually also working on a young adult supernatural historical fiction book of my own, based on a play I wrote in graduate school. It’s about a girl in 5th century Ireland. The fact that I was cast as an Irish vampire after having already spent a lot of time learning about the culture was pretty amazing! Not to mention that my boyfriend’s family is from Eniskillen, Ireland. I think Ireland and I are not finished yet!

Did you have a chance to work with Rob Pattinson during filming? What were your impressions of him?

We all spent a lot of time around one another for this shoot. Both onset and off I really got the impression that he is a very sweet, earnest guy who has a lot of interests. He also wants everyone to have a good time! He and Kristen both made it a point to go to the crew wrap party in Baton Rouge, for all the locals who wouldn’t be moving on to Vancouver. I think that says a lot about their team spirit and gratitude for all the work that goes on behind the scenes. I was really glad to have met both of them.

We saw some of your tweets about saving shelter animals. Can you tell us a bit more about that?

When I realized the plight of companion animals in most county shelters, I had to help. Some of them live in terrible and lonely conditions where even puppies and kittens are killed, after the state mandated holding period of only three days. I got involved with an animal rescue organization called The Lange Foundation here in LA. I am now fostering a dog named India for Big Dawgs Little Kitties Rescue out of San Diego. She will be up for private adoption soon! For those who would like to learn more about these important issues, you can go to www.nathanwinograd.com.

Kellan was at The Grove on November 11^th, the Friday his 3-D movie debuted. The Pattinson Post had the good fortune of chatting with him as he introduced the movie to the audience. Kellan was sweet, funny , charming.. and of course, incredibly handsome!

A few days later, our photographer Dan Cutrona captured these gorgeous photos of Kellan at the LA premiere of ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1’. Here are some of our favorite shots of Kellan.We are releasing and sharing these with our affiliate site, KellanLutzOnline.

We interviewed Ryan O’Neal of Sleeping At Last about his song “Turning Page” being included on the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, before the soundtrack was released.  In that interview, we talked with him about his music and how he came to write “Turning Page” specifically for the soundtrack.  You can read the interview here.

We recently caught up with Ryan and asked him about life since the soundtrack came out and future plans for Sleeping at Last.

Pattinson Post: When did you first know where in the movie your song played?

Sleeping At Last: A little while before the film was released, I was told that it looked like “Turning Page” might play somewhere around the wedding, as well as during the honeymoon. I was obviously ecstatic to hear that, but the word “might” stuck out. So, I had no clue how long the song would play or if it would actually end up being in both scenes. From what I’ve heard, changes and edits in film happen up to the last minute; so, it’s not that uncommon for things to get switched around. Then, finally mid-November rolled around and I had the incredible honor of being able to attend the official Breaking Dawn – Part 1 premiere. I saw the film for the very first time and I was absolutely blown away! I couldn’t believe how gorgeous the scenes turned out. I couldn’t have dreamt of better moments for the song to play. I definitely feel very blessed and grateful to be a part of the film.

PP: You toured with some of the other soundtrack artists and some of the actors from BD1.  What was that like?

SAL: It was absurdly fun! It started in San Francisco, where I met Lucy Schwartz and Matt Hales (Aqualung), and their lovely band members. They were all such sweet, fun people to be around. So, I knew right away that the whole mini-tour was going to be a favorite experience of mine and it absolutely was! My good friend Matt came along as well and played guitar in my set, so I felt very lucky to have such great company throughout the entire Twilight Tour adventure.

The events themselves were so great! After San Francisco, we played Salt Lake City, which was incredible as well. The fans at each of the event were so welcoming and kind – I couldn’t have hoped for a sweeter audience.

At each of these events, several of the actors from Twilight spoke and did signings as well. It was very fun to meet and hang out with them, too. (Side note: for some of the trip, we all got to fly in a private jet, essentially “The Cullen’s” private jet. That experience was absurd and amazing-loved every second of it!)

We all flew back to LA and played a surprise event for the fans waiting for the premiere in Tent City. We met up with Imperial Mammoth, Mia Maestro and Cider Sky, then we all played sets of music for the fans who had been camping out for days. It was an incredible way to complete an amazing mini-tour. I haven’t had that much fun in years and I feel so grateful to have been included in it all!

PP: We met up with you after the Tent City concert.  It must have been an amazing experience to not only perform for the fans, but also to walk the red carpet.  How would you sum it up?

SAL: The whole experience was incredible… to say the least! I’ve never walked a red carpet before, but it was very fun- overwhelming, but very, very fun. The press folks I spoke with (Pattinson Post included!) were all so kind to me and made the experience so much less overwhelming – I really enjoyed it all. The whole thing was quite an adventure.

PP: Do you keep in touch with any of the other soundtrack artists?

SAL: I do! That was one of my favorite parts of this whole experience – meeting and getting along so well with the other Breaking Dawn artists. Lucy Schwartz, Matt Hales (Aqualung), Laura and Leonard of Imperial Mammoth, Mia Maestro, Christina Perri, Cider Sky – I’ve kept in good touch with all of them ever since and  I am privileged to now call them friends. They are all such incredibly sweet people. Twi-buds for life!

PP: How has your life changed since the movie and soundtrack came out?

SAL: I definitely feel like the new friendships that I formed is something I’ll be appreciating for years to come. And, the new listeners that are hearing my music for the first time, is such a huge gift. This whole experience has been very inspiring.

PP: What’s next for you?

SAL: With a fresh year ahead, there has been a lot of planning going on around here lately! Without giving away too many details, I can say that some new music will definitely be coming out this year (perhaps as early as this spring), several exciting tour possibilities are in the works and a ton of other projects/plans are currently being laid out. Needless to say, I’m so excited about this year -I can’t wait to share news soon!
