“Just a few moments ago, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Anna Kendrick made her way down the red carpet for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards celebration. Gorgeous as ever, Kendrick awaits the results of the “Best Supporting Actress” category as she is nominated in this group for her work in Up In The Air. The lead up to this showing has been intense, with Kendrick making awards appearances one after the other over the past few weeks.”

“Anna Kendrick lets her hair down as she arrives at the 2010 Costume Designers Guild Awards with Presenting Sponsor Swarovski at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Thursday evening (February 25). The 24-year-old Oscar nominee stood out in a white strapless gown adorned with annular applique and hints of crystals from the Elie Saab Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 Collection. How much do you LOVE Anna’s look?”

The Oscar nominations have been announced, and Anna is nominated in the Actress in a Supporting Role category for her role in Up In the Air!

CONGRATULATIONS ANNA! - from everyone here at HGE.

“At just 24, Anna Kendrick has already shown impressive range, from Bella Swan’s twit friend Jessica in the Twilight saga to George Clooney’s buttoned-up colleague in Up in the Air. At age 12, the Maine native was nominated for a Tony Award, for her role in the 1998 musical High Society. After she auditioned for the role of Natalie in Up in the Air, she thought she’d tanked, given director Jason Reitman’s utter non-reaction. Turned out he’d written the role for her, after having seen her in the small high-school film Rocket Science. Next, she’ll star with Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.”

“In an era in which every teen star has a stylist and a bland pop record, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart is the tough-minded, no-frills anomaly. Stewart played Bella Swan not as a cartoon but as anxious and complicated—making the predicament of being torn between a vampire and a werewolf seem … well, almost plausible. The daughter of a television-producer father and an Australian script-supervisor mother, the L.A.-bred Stewart has been consistently drawn to melancholy over flash. Between Twilight installments, her edgy trajectory will continue with Welcome to the Rileys, about the friendship between a stripper and a married businessman, played by James Gandolfini, and The Runaways, about rocker Joan Jett.”

Anna plays a fun game of “Who’d You Rather?”, the Pattinson vs. Clooney edition. xD

Robert Pattinson is on board.

I just got word that the Twilight star has signed on for Friday’s Hope for Haiti telethon. As of right now, it looks like Rob will be the sole presenter in London with performances by Jay-Z and Bono.

Other mega-celebs who will present and/or help in the phone banks are Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Brad Pitt, Anna Kendrick, Sandra Bullock, Zac Efron, Bradley Cooper, Renee Zellweger, Chris Pine, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Colin Farrell, Jon Hamm, Gabby Sidibe and Emily Blunt, among many others.

No word yet on Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, but as I was the first to tell you Hollywood’s hottest vampire movie trio is a very wanted group for the telethon because of the impact they would have with young people.
