Robert Pattinson has been told to spend his evenings in the gym because 'Twilight' producers don't want him wasting the nights drinking.
An insider told 'Life & Style' magazine that movie bosses asked Rob - who is in the middle of filming 'New Moon', the second installment in the vampire franchise - to work out every day for the film but believes the request was just a ploy to keep him from drinking the night before big scenes. "It was their way of keeping him in line," the source said.

"You'd better hold on tight, spider monkey."? Catherine Hardwicke explained its origin to MTV.
She says: "I woke up in the middle of the night. I thought, 'They're going to be climbing that tree, and they're not going to have anything to say. It's just going to be another scene of them looking into each other's eyes.'"
With the writers' strike already in effect, Melissa Rosenberg was not available to help. Catherine came up with 10 ideas and let Robert Pattinson pick from those 10.

Not that I ever have time to do this anymore, but I used to play poker online. It's so entertaining, because you get to make your own character and actually using real money is optional. So if I couldn't sleep, I would hop online and play poker. But sometimes all the rooms were full of other insomniacs and I would be stuck...gameless.
Then I meandered onto "
whogets.com" and they offer you the chance to win a huge array of prizes in online contests. So anyway, you sign up for free and they don't ever spam you, and you get to enter these different cool contests. It's fun to win things, so I'm all about contests.
"
WhoGets.com" is owned by arcavate.com who also runs bidpoint.com. So if you are familiar with bidpoint.com than you should know it's all legit and user friendly.
It's fun to enter contests and it's easy to do. And lemme tell all you insomniacs out there, it gives you a lot to look at so give it a try and see what you can win. I'll admit some of the prizes are a little silly to me, but would make great gifts. And then you can also win things like a GAP sweatshirt or a Flat Monitor TV which are great prizes! I mean, they're sponsored by awesome vendors like Amazon.com, eToys.com and even Pacific Sunwear...fun!

A date with Mirelly Taylor is up for grabs thanks to the good people at
GoFish.com. Mirelly has appeared on movies such as Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara and television shows including "Las Vegas", "Punk'd", and "Numb3rs".
To win a date with her you need to submit a video to their website. As viewers, like myself, we can see
free videos at GoFish.com and vote for who we think should win.
This is such a cool concept, though I don't know how long they will be able to keep it up. I think Mirelly is a great sport for participating in the contest. Andrew Firestone from the hit show "The Bachelor" helps her to explain the whole idea of the videos. They give you "calls-to-action" to help you "seduce" Mirelly. It's all very fun to watch and with 48 videos already submitted and online, there are quite a few laughs to go around. I won't be submitting, sorry Mirelly, no hard feelings. But I can't imagine one single male out there who wouldn't be picking up a video camera right now!
