Twilight star Kristen Stewart is putting the millions she’s earned from the hit vampire franchise to good use – she wants to set up a number of halfway houses.
The actress was reportedly paid $25 million to star in the vampire saga, and she has been trying to figure out how best to help those less fortunate with the money she’s made. She tells America’s Vogue magazine, “It’s funny when you are endowed not only with public recognition on a f**king seriously vast level, but also money. Like, funds. “Anytime I hear that somebody’s really rich, the first question is, ‘Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?’”
Stewart reveals she has big plans for her own cash and wants to use the money to aid the recovery of those struggling to get back on their feet after overcoming personal troubles. She says, “That would be amazing. Right now it’s the thing I feel most connected to.”

Kristen Stewart is nearing the end of the road for the series that made her a superstar, but in a new photoshoot she’s ready to prove she’s ready to go beyond Bella from “Twilight.”
The usually tomboyish 20-year-old starlet hams it up in a behind-the-scenes video for the February issue of Vogue.
The actress told the magazine she’s grateful for all the success she’s had, but there is a downside to fame and fortune. She just can’t go to the mall! “It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often,” she explained.
Check out what she has to say about Robert Pattinson and more in the video below!

Peter Facinelli is finding it difficult to shoot both “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” movies at the same time because he keeps forgetting which scenes he’s filming. The star, who plays vampire Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the franchise, is busy working on the final pictures, which are set for release later this year and 2012. Scenes from both movies are being shot simultaneously, and Facinelli admits he’s struggling to keep track of what he’s doing. He tells E! Online, “It’s a little bit more difficult. It’s a little more intimidating because there’s so much work to be done, and you’re jumping from one movie to another. It’s not in any kind of order so it does get daunting as you figure out which movie you’re in and what sequences you’re in… “It’s long hours. But we’re putting in the work and hopefully it will come together as it always does.” And the actor admits he’s so active on-set, he barely has time to stop for meals: “We’re so busy, we don’t even eat anymore. We just stopped eating.”

Taylor Lautner is busy studying the films of Tom Cruise in a bid to emulate the movie star’s career, following advice from director John Singleton.
The Twilight star is set to step away from his role as a werewolf in the popular vampire franchise to lead the cast in new action movie Abduction.
Boyz N the Hood director Singleton is taking charge of the upcoming movie, and he has been advising Lautner how to carve out a career like his idol Cruise.
Singleton tells the Los Angeles Times, “I told him to watch the transition from Top Gun to Rain Man to Born on the Fourth of July. To think about what he (Cruise) did as a young man and what he did later on. And then think about what you want to do.”
“Twilight is a great stepping stone for his (Lautner’s) career. It’s like, ‘Wow, he’s an icon already.’ But now that you have this stature, it’s a question of what you do with it. And that’s what he’s been working hard on.”

“Twilight” hottie Kellan Lutz attended the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Grand Opening over the weekend wearing a sleek suit.
Kellan has several films in the works. He stars in “The Killing Game” about a man forced into the savage world of a modern gladiatorial arena, where men fight to the death for the entertainment of the online masses.
He also appears in “A Warrior’s Heart” opposite his “Twilight” co-star Ashley Greene about a Lacrosse player who tries to move on following his father’s death.
Ashley Greene’s publicist has dismissed reports boyfriend Joe Jonas proposed to the “Twilight” star over Christmas. The couple has been dating since the summer and they spent the festive season with Greene’s family in Florida. They jetted back to Los Angeles on Wednesday night and the actress was spotted with a new gold band on her ring finger, prompting gossip the singer proposed over the holidays. But Greene’s rep has been quick to dispel the rumors, telling GossipCop.com the speculation is “untrue.”

A Twilight fan has paid a staggering $80,000 to meet Robert Pattinson on the set of the latest vampire movie.
The actor, who is currently filming the two-part final installment The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, offered up a set visit to raise money for the GO Campaign, a charity which helps orphans and vulnerable children across the world.
The prize was auctioned off on the CharityBuzz.com website and attracted a record bid of $80,000. The winning bidder will travel to Vancouver, Canada and enjoy a meet-and-greet session with the British star on set.
Other prizes up for grabs include a backstage visit with U2 and a meeting with Paul McCartney, according to ETOnline.com.
Twilight star Ashley Greene has no plans to marry boyfriend Joe Jonas in the near future – insisting she feels “indifferent” to the idea of a wedding. The 23-year-old actress, who has been dating the Jonas Brothers star since summer, isn’t convinced that a relationship will go the distance just because a couple exchanges vows. She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, “I’m indifferent about marriage. I think sometimes people get married so they can say they have that person forever. But a ring doesn’t ensure that you’ll stay together.”
Kristen Stewart was propelled to super stardom the minute she signed up for the immensely popular film series “Twilight.” Plus, her relationship with vampire co-star Robert Pattinson keeps her on the cover of tabloid magazines and at the front and center of online blogs. But did you know the actress acutally had a respectable career before that?
In 2002 Kristen starred opposite Jodie Foster in “Panic Room.” She played a teenage girl who was imprisoned with her mother in the panic room of their own house. She also appeared in “The Safety Of Objects,” in which she played a tomboy with a troubled mother.
She then starred in “Cold Creek Manor,” “Catch That Kid” and “Undertow” before landing a role in the critically acclaimed 2004 film “Speak.” Thirteen-year-old Stewart was praised for playing a high school freshman who stopped talking after being raped.
Following films included “Zathura,” “Fierce People” and “The Messengers.” She also appeared opposite Meg Ryan in “In The Land Of Women” and Emile Hirsh in “Into the Wild.”
Kristen probably never expected she would become a household name when in November 2007 she was cast as Isabella “Bella” Swan in the film “Twilight.” The movie is based on the best-selling vampire and werewolf series of the same name. The 2008 film made over $400 million worldwide. She has since reappeared in the follow-up “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (which made over $700 million worldwide!) and will star in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which hits theaters this June.
When “Twilight” opened, Kristen immediately became tabloid and blogger fodder. It was her game changing moment. She could no longer walk around in obscurity and live like a regular person. Lovers and haters both praised and bashed the star for her acting, her love life, and anything else they could think about. Recently Kristen commented, “(I don’t care if) people go onto the internet and say I’m ugly. (But) I hate it when they say I’m ungrateful, and I f—ing hate it when they say I don’t give a shit, because nobody cares more than I do.”
In addition to defending her drive and dedication, Kristen and her co-star/boyfriend Robert Pattinson have spent the last couple of years avoiding the paparazzi and trying to keep their private lives, well, private. It isn’t easy. Their relationship was recently confirmed by a source on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” who spilled that the couple is “100 percent” dating.
Since “Twilight,” Kristen has starred in “Adventureland,” “Jumper” and “The Yellow Handkerchief.” These films didn’t get much buzz or impress at the box office. So will the “Twilight” series be the pinnacle of Kristen’s career? It’s too early to tell. She has several films in production, including “K-11,” “On The Road,” “Paani.”In her new film “Welcome to the Riley’s” she plays a teenage prostitute who helps a married couple break their cycle of grief. And, of course, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.”
We spotted “Twilight” star Kellan Lutz going for a run with his dog around his L.A. neighborhood earlier this week.
Lutz, who was wearing all black and wearing headphones, seemed to finish his run with an intense sprint down the middle of the road.
Well, ladies, the rumor is Kellan is currently single! The actor and “90210″ star Annalynne McCord have split after two years together, according to reports. Representatives for the two stars have yet to comment on the break-up story.
