Daybreak Daily’s afternoon romp in the pop-culture hay finds a starlet doing likewise, looks into a tragic movie-set death and winds up with a weather-appropriate mystery music video.
SURREAL: Per People, “The pivotal sex scene in the new Twilight film, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, is so steamy that the MPAA originally gave the film an R rating, according to its star Kristen Stewart, who says even she was shocked by what her character does between the sheets.
“There are two big sex scenes in the two [final] films, and we did them fairly early, Stewart, 21, tells the U.K. edition of Glamour.
“It was so weird, it didn’t even feel like we were doing a scene within a Twilight film. I was like, ‘Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?!’ It was very surreal.” http://bit.ly/soofpu
BOO!: Per the Los Angeles Times, a guide to Halloween programs on TV. http://lat.ms/vLHHBP
BOO II: Per E!, “Heidi Klum has been the queen of Halloween parties for quite some time, but this year, another Victoria’s Secret supermodel is throwing a costume bash on the very same night in NYC. Miranda Kerr is hosting a Halloween party Monday night on the rooftop of new hot spot Catch, while Heidi will hold it down at PH-D inside the Dream Downtown.” http://eonli.ne/tSSc0I
STUNT GONE AWRY: Per the Huffington Post, “A stuntman involved in a planned explosion died on the Bulgarian set of “The Expendables 2″ on Thursday night, media reports out of the country confirm.
The Sofia News Agency reports that the stuntman, who was working on a scene with a fake bomb explosion in a rubber boat, died in an accident that also injured two other performers working in a reservoir in the town of Elin Pelin. No further details as to the exact nature of the accident were provided. One of the injured performers is reportedly in critical condition.
The film, a sequel to the smash hit 2010 film that brought back together some of the greatest action stars of the 80s and 90s, brings back Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jean-Claude Van Dam, Terry Crews and Bruce Willis, while expanding the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger and bringing on Liam Hemsworth for some new blood. http://huff.to/vLFVGN
SHOWING HER AGE: Per Radar, “She may not have the rock hard body of her youth, but that hasn’t stopped Britney Spears from hitting the stage of her international tour in similarly scandalous and skimpy costumes. The pop icon kicked off the UK leg of her Femme Fatale tour in London Thursday night, showing off her womanly curves in sexy bras and panties, tiny daisy dukes and S&M style leotards – and RadarOnline.com has the photos. http://bit.ly/vMJYe4
GREEN DAY SURPRISE: Per Rolling Stone, “”We’re playing a lot of new songs,” Billie Joe Armstrong acknowledged about a third of the way through Green Day’s intimate New York City show last night. “People hang onto that s*** like it’s a sacred cow. I say f*** it – cows are meant to be eaten.” And so, much like the band’s last-minute Los Angeles show in August, last night’s surprise gig on the East Coast served as a test run of sorts for Green Day’s upcoming album, with about half of the set list consisting of new material. The show was also being documented for a film about the band’s creative process on the new album.” http://bit.ly/vamkfC
NO SECONDS: Per Us, “Sometimes it’s OK to be a loser — take it from American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina, who shed an incredible 25 pounds in just five months. “Changing my diet was the big thing,” the 5-foot-7 Georgia native tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). “I had to learn correct portion control.” http://bit.ly/ssrBN9
VOICE OVER: Per the AP, “Adele’s voice has given her the biggest success this year – and the most trouble. The singer will have throat surgery and has now canceled all tour dates and promotional appearances for the year. Columbia Records announced Friday that the “Rolling in the Deep” singer will have surgery “to alleviate the current issues with her throat.” A full recovery is expected.” http://apne.ws/uTsBs6
QUEEN IN WAITING: Per People, “Boy or girl, the first child of the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William will be able to assume the throne – as historic changes to the rule of succession have gotten the green light. The leaders of the 16 governments with Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state have unanimously agreed to change the laws in their realms.
Under current laws, the immediate heir is the first-born son of the monarch.
Announcing the new deal, British Prime Minister David Cameron said, “Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen.” http://bit.ly/t4h7Gy

Robert Pattinson Goes Into Detail About Breaking Dawn Sex Scene ‘You have to …
‘You have to show something’…
Robert Pattinson has been discussing the eagerly awaited sex scene between his character Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′.
Edward and Bella finally tie the knot in the first part of the ‘Saga”s finale, and consumate their love whilst on honeymoon in Brazil.
The 25-year-old told Total Film: “When the final book came out, I was like ‘She’s [author Stephenie Myers] not even thinking outside the box anymore. She’s broken the whole box!’
“She went all out on the last one. It’s almost a different genre of movie.”
When asked if he was daunted having to shoot the scene with girlfriend Stewart, the actor replied: “It’s funny. People talk about sex scenes in the book, but there aren’t actually any. It’s all in people’s imagination. They’re like ‘It’s so hardcore,’ but it always fades to black. It just shows bits of the aftermath.
“You have to show something!”
He continued: “You can’t fade to black in the movie because people would go insane!
“It’s strange trying to do a singular event which everyone is expecting. At the end of the day, watching other people having sex is never going to be that spectacular. Hopefully it’ll be good. There’s so much hype. You’re like ‘God, I hope this lives up to it.’”
For R-Pattz, it is the resultant caeserian birth scene of their child, which he performs with his own vampire teeth, that proved to be even more traumatic, with him saying: “It was horrible, insanely graphic and the most nerve-racking thing about the whole shoot.”
‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ is released on November 18.
‘Breaking Dawn’…
IN THE DECEMBER ISSUE OF LONDON’S ‘GLAMOUR,’ COVER GIRL KRISTEN STEWART DISHES ABOUT BELLA AND EDWARD’S MUCH-ANTICIPATED HONEYMOON AND WHY IT’S EPIC FOR ‘TWILIGHT!’
For years we’ve been waiting to see the glorious moment when Bella Swan and Edward Cullen finally consummate their marriage in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part One. Now the day has nearly arrived and even the film’s star,Kristen Stewart, says the honeymoon scene will make Twilight history.
“On a particular level, it’s entirely true that it’s the most important scene in the whole movie, but obviously it goes without saying it’s been built up at this point to an insane degree,” the 21-year-old actress told UK’s Glamour.
The infamous sex scene has been so widely anticipated, Kristen hopes it lives up to the hype. “It’s funny, because in the book, you don’t see anything,” she said. “It’s everyone’s imagination, so it’s entirely subjective. I hope it’s good!”
From the sound of it, we’re going to love it. After all, Kristen said the romantic scene between her and Rob Pattinsonwas so intense, the film was originally given a different rating.
“There are two big sex scenes in the two [final] films, and we did them fairly early. It was so weird, it didn’t even feel like we were doing a scene with a Twilight film,” she said, explaining, “I was like, ‘Bella! What are you doing? Wow! What is happening here?!’ It was very surreal. We [originally] got rated R. The recut it.”
