Billy Burke debuts music video for “Removed”

Besides playing Charlie in the Twilight Saga movies and taking on other top-notch roles in film & TV, Billy Burke is also a pretty kick-ass musician — and recently launched a website to help promote his upcoming record (expected to drop June 22nd). Today, he debuted the music video for his song “Removed” and it’s pretty awesome. Check it out:

About making the video, Burke writes on his site:

"We managed to throw together a little something while on location in Shreveport, Louisiana. Some of you might know that for the past couple months I was there filming a pretty groovy and I think, pretty bad ass (somewhat adult) 3D action road picture (directed by Patrick Lussier) with Nicolas Cage called “DRIVE ANGRY”. On one of the few days that I had free, I had the good fortune of being visited by my close friend and up and coming filmmaker Devon Gummersall. He and I both thought it might be a sweet opportunity to shoot some unplanned, guerilla style footage for an impromptu video for “REMOVED”. My super-cool wife and best pal Pollyanna Rose agreed to play with us and thus, we set forth on a one day into night excursion to see what we could come up with. As you’ll see we started out on the deserted streets of Shreveport and ended up literally, in the closet of the house we were renting.
So alright, listen… admittedly we’re not shattering any earth or reinventing any wheels with this thing. We just wanted to give you all something visual and perhaps visceral to experience while we prepare the “drop” of the record and I really wanna thank my friend Devon for rocking us with his talents."

Outtakes & Video Of Ashely Greene’s Cover Shoot For Seventeen Magazine!

We previously posted Ashley Greene’s June cover for Seventeen magazine. Check out the behind the scenes video & outtakes of her photo shoot!

Ashley’s Animalistic Side “In Twilight and New Moon, Alice acts so human it’s easy to forget she’s a vampire. By Eclipse, she begins to show a darker side because — regardless of her demeanor — she’s still an animal, and she’ll do absolutely anything to protect her family.”

Check out the behind the scenes video, outtakes and quotes from Ashley

Her High School Regret “I wish that in high school I would have realized sooner that it’s not worth all the time and effort to hate someone or think about how you’re going to hurt someone’s feelings.”
Ashley Exposed “My privacy was invaded, and it was a hard thing for me to go through. There are all these girls that look up to me, so hopefully they will take that and look at it and learn from me that things can get into the wrong people’s hands, and they can use them to hurt you.”
The Edward Allure “Girls always want what they can’t have and what’s dark and mysterious.”
Her Dating Rules “If something is bothering you with a guy, it’s better to say something and hurt at the moment than to stay in something and let someone treat you less than you should be treated.”
Movie Mementos “I like to keep the first original script — the one I’ve destroyed, written all over, and put notes on. It reminds me of where I was at the beginning of the film and where I was at the end.”

Guys Of Eclipse Featured In Seventeen Magazine!

Alex Meraz (aka Paul), Charlie Bewley (aka Demetri), Kiowa Gordon (aka Embry) and Michael Welch (aka Mike) are featured on Seventeen.com the Hot Guys Of Eclipse!

A Ruined Man “What I learned through my experience of dating young girls was that they loved bad boys. They like guys that don’t really care or have some kind of drama going on. Because I was an artist, I’d paint drawings of the girls. I’d do romantic things that I do not do now because of my lack of luck then.” —Alex Meraz

Always on the Move “I’m constantly evolving as a person in everything — career, friends, geography, lifestyle, and relationships. I just keep going and going until I’m happy with everything.”—Charlie Bewley

Tattooing His Love for You “I’m not into the whole inking-up-my-body thing, but if my girlfriend asked me to do it, I would. Her name is Kaiulani, so that would be a cool name on my back.”—Kiowa Gordon

The Guy You Grow Old With “I’ve only been in two relationships in my life, and I’ve maybe hooked up with a grand total of five or six people. In terms of my priority and how I think about it, I’m a committed guy. It was always more appealing to me to hear stories about an old couple who’s been together since high school and they’re now 89 years old.”—Michael Welch

Nikki Reed and Bryce Dallas Howard Talk About Rob. He has ‘the best heart’

With “Eclipse” more than a month from hitting theaters, Twilighters have been clamoring for clues about what to expect from the third installment in the vampire saga. While those details may be scarce, a new “bookazine” from the editors of Us Weekly promises some behind-the scenes scoop guaranteed to please Twi-hards.
In “The Sexy Stars of Twilight: Eclipse,” on newsstands May 28, some of the “Eclipse” castmembers opened up about what it was like on the movie’s set. The special issue also includes tons of pictures and posters, as well as factoids about the cast and the production.
For instance, cast newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard, who takes over as vampire Victoria, admitted she was initially concerned about joining the already close-knit cast, but found them incredibly welcoming.
“It was something I deeply considered and discussed with many people, because it is a very big deal,” Howard says in the book. To her relief, she discovered “Rob [Pattinson] and Taylor [Lautner] are such great guys. I love those boys! And Kristen [Stewart] was like, ‘Where’s your baby? I want to meet him.’ “But rather than KStew, it seems Nikki Reed turned out to be the on-set babysitter. “She’s like a second mom!” Howard remarks. “The other day [my baby] said, ‘I miss Nikki.’ I was like, ‘Honey, I miss Nikki too!’ ”
“We’re such a close family,” Kellan Lutz added.
Reed also dished about what it’s really like to chill with her co-stars.
“Ok, P-Fatch [Peter Facinelli] is definitely the jokester and prankster. And he’s very much a father figure — safe and comforting,” Reed said. “Jackson [Rathbone] is the most artsy, creative and, I think, the most talented. Liz Reaser is the most well-read. Kellan and Ashley are very similar: They’re both very driven people, and they both like to go out a lot. A lot of the partying happens around them. [Pattinson] has the best heart.”

Pattison has told pals that he really admires the career of another British teen idol – Daniel Radcliffe of “Harry Potter” fame.Pattison says, “I love the mix of stuff he has done in his career, always pushing the boundaries and stuff like that. I also envy his stints on stage; he is a great actor.”
Pattison pays vampire Edward Cullen in author Stephanie Meyers’ “Twilight” franchise. The next film in the series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” hits theaters June 30. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” is in preproduction and scheduled for a 2011 release.
