He’s baaaaaaack. After haranguing Saturday Night Live for their Tim Tebow lampoon, Pat Robertson has joined the anti-Twilight bandwagon. The 81-year-old aspiring hipster and fundamentalist minister deemed Stephenie Meyer’s sparklevamp franchise “evil” in a recent segment on his TV show, the 700 Club.

Responding a a viewer question about whether the series promotes witchcraft, Robertson recounted a story of demon possession told to him by a friend. According to Robertson, the demon in question “had permission” to possess a young girl because she had been enticed by the timeless love story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. “It opened the door to demonic power. Yes, I think those vampire movies are evil,” said Robertson. “There are no vampires. The whole thing is demonic.” See more of Robertson’s thoughts on Twilight below.

The Summit co-founder and now Lionsgate exec said the indie studio will produce a sixth vampire flick if Stephenie Meyer writes another installment.

TORONTO – Will there be a Twilight 6?

That depends on getting a fifth book out of Twilight writer Stephenie Meyer, Lionsgate motion picture group co-chair Rob Friedman said Friday, giving hope to Twi-hards everywhere.

“If she (Meyer) wishes to do it, we’ll be there to support her” with a sixth film, said Friedman, who now runs the Lionsgate movie division with Patrick Wachsberger after the duo sold Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the Twilight franchise, to Lionsgate in January as part of a $412.5 million leveraged buy-out.

Friedman was participating in his first Lionsgate analyst call after the indie studio missed on its third quarter earnings Thursday, but insisted it was bullish about the future now that it has swallowed privately-held Summit and its Twilight franchise.

Confession: When I started Confessions of a (Male) Twi-Hard and wrote my introductory Twi-Hard Bucket List, I wasn’t honestly sure whether or not I would cross any of the items off the list. That isn’t to say I didn’t want to, I just looked at most of the items as pure fantasy. And besides, most of the personalities listed would probably be freaked out by a 30-something male “Twilight” superfan.

That’s why my stomach kind of dropped when the NextMovie editor called me and said Peter Facinelli agreed to meet me for chicken wings. “Really? You’ve got to be kidding.” He wasn’t. That’s how I found myself in Midtown Manhattan’s Lansdowne Road bar at 11 a.m. on Friday morning, sitting across a table of Buffalo wings from the man who plays Carlisle Cullen.

Kellen Lutz promoting the Breaking Dawn Part 1 dvd release

Robert Pattinson has sent fans crazy by saying ‘nobody would give a s***’ about him if he hadn’t starred in Twilight. And although omg! beg to differ, Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan agrees with his fellow British star.

Joseph, who plays Klaus in the series, told omg! exclusively: “Provided he didn’t mess it all up, Robert was guaranteed a fan base thanks to Twilight,” Joseph told us.

“His character is iconic and there’s a huge following of the books but there’s a tremendous amount of pressure that comes with that.

“People have their own very distinctive ideas of how a character should be portrayed especially when you’re playing a vampire.”

There’s going to be some fresh blood in the Cullen vampire gang this November—which is, of course, when Breaking Dawn Part 2 hits theaters.

And no, we’re not talking about Edward Cullen’s half-bloodsucker demon baby, we mean his now undead wifey Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). And it looks like we’re not the only ones so excited about K.Stew’s transformation:

Fellow Twilight gal Nikki Reed is, too!

We caught up with Nikki over the weekend at the Rolling Stone Super Bowl party and had to ask the chickie—who’s played ice queen Rosalie in all of the vampy flicks so far—if there was any part of BD Pt. 2 that she was particularly excited for fans to see:

“Kristen makes a really awesome vampire,” Ms. Reed gushed to us. “And I think that everybody has been waiting to see how that transformation goes down and she makes a really beautiful vampire.”

So much for costar feuding, eh?!

Twilight made him an international movie star, but Robert Pattinson doesn’t believe his own hype.

Speaking to The Herald Scotland Sunday, the 25-year-old actor opened up about how the hit vampire franchise changed the way he looks at moviemaking.

“Doing something like Twilight opens doors and it closes others. You can say, ‘Oh if I was still unknown, then no one would judge me,’” Pattinson said. “But at the same time, nobody would give a sh-t either. It’s a weird little balance.”

Pattinson will attempt to distance himself from the movies that made him famous in the upcoming period film Bel Ami, costarring Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas.

While it seems everyone is jumping to call The Hunger Games, “The New Twilight,” the people behind Summit’s massive fang franchise are doing everything within their power to ensure there’s no visible link between the two.

Friday night, Insider.com’s Mikey Glazer caught up with Twilight star Kellan Lutz at Audi’s Super Bowl party, where Emmett Cullen told us he loved The Hunger Games script and really wanted a role in the film — however, he was quickly informed by the Powers That Be there could not be any “crossover” between the two franchises

Sounds like Hunger fans will have to look elsewhere for their Cato!
