Los Angeles: Shunned by the Oscars and BAFTA, ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2’ has finally got the much-needed recognition it deserves, getting 11 nominations for the immensely parodic ‘Golden Raspberry Awards’.

The 33rd edition of the awards that crown the ‘worsts’ will announce its winners one day before the Academy Awards on February 23.

Twilight’s final cringe-worthy installment that goes under the guise of ‘a movie’ racked up 11 nominations within the 10 categories, with 2 nominations for the ‘Worst On-Screen Couple’ section. The miserably expressionless Kristen Stewart also garnered two nominations for ‘Worst Actress’ as both her performances in 2012 – Bella in ‘Twilight’ and Snow White in ‘Snow White and the Huntsmen’ – made it to the top 5 (or bottom 5) list.

Pointless bearer of abs Taylor Lautner has received a nomination for ‘Worst Supporting Actor’ and Robert Pattinson has bagged his Razzie nomination for ‘Worst Actor’ as well, a title that Sylvester Stallone has won multiple times in the past.

The award ceremony rarely sees anyone receive the dishonor, but some A-list celebrities have, in the past, been sporting enough to receive it in person.

Halle Berry, famously, received her Razzie for ‘Worst Actress’ (‘Catwoman’) and got on stage with her Academy Award (‘Best Actress’ for ‘Monster’s Ball’). With the two contrasting awards in each hand she went on to parody her Oscars’ speech saying: “Thank you so much. I never in my life thought I would be up here.” Thanking her manager, she joked: “He loves me so much that he convinces me to do projects even when he knows that it is shit.”

Let’s hope the cast of ‘Twilight’ are as sporting. At least it’ll make the existence of a movie-series like ‘Twilight’ minutely more acceptable.

Happy Birthday, Taylor Lautner! The Twilight hunk, who turned 21 on Monday, Feb. 11, celebrated his special day by going bowling with friends — including his former costar Kristen Stewart.

The intimate party kicked off around 9:30 p.m. in a private area at Lucky Strike in L.A. on Saturday, Feb. 9, a source tells Us Weekly. Spring Breakers actress Ashley Benson and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Patrick were in attendance. The group of young A-listers and enjoyed bowling while listening to music, and snacking on pizza, sliders and chips and guacamole.

Wearing a backwards cap, ripped T-shirt, leggings and Converse sneakers, Stewart, 22, showed up late to the event — a little after midnight — with a small group of friends, “She was being fun and social, bowling and high-fiving,” the source tells Us. “She and Taylor definitely seemed to be good friends and she was living it up.”

Was the birthday boy living it up as well? Not as much. The celebration occurred just shy of his actual 21st birthday, and a source tells Us he “drank nothing.”

“Taylor was super nice, very polite,” the insider says of the actor. Stewart’s boyfriend and Lautner’s fellow Twilight costar, Robert Pattinson, was MIA at the party, but the source tells Us that Stewart was being “really sweet” during the night.

“Everyone was having a blast,” the source says. “Everyone was super into the bowling” and Lautner “is really good.”

The party wrapped around around 1:30 a.m., but not before guests sang Lautner “Happy Birthday.”

Watch out Elena (Nina Dobrev), the Volturi have moved on from Bella (Kristen Stewart)!

Actor Charlie Bewley, who is best known for his portrayal of evil vamp Demetri in the popular Twilight series, has landed a juicy gig on The Vampire Diaries, E! News confirms. We’re guessing someone is a big fan of the vampire genre!

So will the British actor be donning fangs once again when he visits Mystic Falls?

Bewley will make his debut as Vaughn on the CW hit in the 13th episode of the season and will stick around for several episodes.

While details about Vaughn are being kept pretty under wraps, we can tell you that he’s described as ruggedly handsome, charming, built and tough as hell. (Interesting side-note? An actor with an accent was preferred during the audition process for the role.)

Aside from playing Demetri in four of the five Twilight films (he did not appear in the first movie), Bewley has also starred in Like Crazy. Breaking Dawn Part 2, the final installment of The Twilight Saga, grossed $141.3 million in its opening weekend.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on the CW.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, when movie lovers’ thoughts turn to romance films. Older folks might think of putting on Casablanca; Gen X’ers, Say Anything. What does it say about the millennial generation that the most popular love story of their time involves a young lady, a vampire and a werewolf?

That’s why Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson land at the top of our list of Hollywood’s Highest-Grossing Romantic Couples. We looked at the top-grossing romantic movies of the last three years. Twilight was by far the biggest box office winner over that period, earning $1.17 billion.

The fact that we get to track the couple’s off-screen romance along with their on-screen love just adds to the overall romance of the films. The couple is reportedly back together after breaking up over Stewart’s fling with the married director of her film Snow White and the Huntsman.

Pattinson is also a member of the 10th place couple on our list alongside Reese Witherspoon. Their film Water for Elephants earned $59 million in the U.S. in 2011. Those aren’t Twilight numbers, but considering that the movie brought in an extra $58 million internationally and only cost $38 million to make, it was a small hit.

To compile our list, we looked at the top-grossing romantic movies as classified by Box Office Mojo over the past three years and added up each couple’s total U.S.box office. While StewPatz have an advantage because they appeared in three high-grossing movies together during our time frame, there were other actors who also did well.

Like Channing Tatum, who ranks twice on our list. Tatum and Rachel McAdams place second thanks to last year’s hit The Vow. The story of a women who loses some of her memory in a car accident earned $125 million in the U.S. and another $71 million overseas. That means the $30 million film turned a nice profit for Sony‘s ScreenGems division.

“Twilight” actor Bronson Pelletier — who played a member of the Wolf Pack in the saga — was arrested yesterday in L.A. … after allegedly getting drunk off his ass in the terminal and peeing in public.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, LAX police responded to a call about an unruly passenger on some airplane around 11:30 AM — and when they arrived at the aircraft, they were told 25-year-old Pelletier had been creating a disturbance on board.

We’re told officers removed Pelletier from the plane and determined he was too intoxicated to fly — so they had him wait in the terminal for another flight.

According to law enforcement sources, cops then left the scene — received a call just two hours later that Pelletier was urinating in public by the gate.

When they arrived for the second time — around 2PM — officers placed Pelletier under arrest for public intoxication.

Pelletier was taken to jail and booked for the misdemeanor. He was released shortly after.

We’ve reached out to Pelletier’s people. So far, no word back.

Just a week before “Twilight” actor Bronson Pelletier was arrested for public intoxication at an L.A. airport for allegedly peeing in public — the actor was popped for felony cocaine and meth possession … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Pelletier was arrested in West Hollywood December 8th at Gym Bar.

We’re told the bar’s staff had called the cops on Pelletier because he appeared wasted and refused to leave. People present tell us … he was hopping from person to person, group to group and making everyone feel very uncomfortable.

When officers arrived, law enforcement sources tell us, Pelletier was placed under arrest for public intoxication — but when officers searched him, they found coke and meth.

Pelletier pled not guilty to both possession charges on December 11th, and was ordered to appear in court January 17th.

Calls to Pelletier’s people were not returned.

The critics might have been split on whether Kristen Stewart’s sheer chiffon-and-lace beige bustier dress from the L.A. premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ was a style stunner or a fashion faux pas, but at least we can all agree that she’s taking it off for a good cause! According to GossipCop, the actress has offered up her autographed Zuhair Murad gown to the Hurricane Sandy relief effort.

This isn’t Kristen’s first contribution on behalf of the recovery effort since the storm carved a path of destruction along much of the Jersey coast; her dressy donation comes in the wake of an appearance at the star-studded 12-12-12 benefit, where she made a speech to encourage support. And thanks to her latest contribution, the dress is being auctioned online at Charitybuzz as we speak, with proceeds to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation.

So if you’re feeling philanthropic—or if you’ve always wanted to raid KStew’s closet and you’ve got a few thousand dollars to burn in making your dream a reality—then now’s your chance to hunt it down and take your best shot at zipping your own butt into those big built-in satin underpants. Godspeed, my friend.
