It was recently confirmed that The Pacific actor Rami Malek has been cast as Egyptian Coven member “Benjamin” in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

In one of the first of what will be many bits of news about all the new faces in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, ET has confirmed that Rami Malek will play Benjamin, a vampire from the Egyptian coven.

Rami, pictured, is twenty-nine but as you can see could pass for ten years younger.  He appeared in the war miniseries The Pacific and just wrapped a Tom Hanks movie, but is most-recognized from the Night at the Museum movies, in which he played Ahkmenrah.

Congrats Rami!

Jackson Rathbone is chosen as a the cover boy for a brand new magazine. The Twilight Saga star has been given the honor of being the first ever star to appear on the cover of the new TROIX magazine for its inaugural October issue.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg recently revealed the progress on the final film’s script. Interestingly, Rosenberg said that the most challenging part of this film rewrite is not the much talked about “birthing scene,” but the big battle in the finale.

Twilight’s Jackson Rathbone straps on a guitar, puts on a sombrero, and lies down in a metal tub in the middle of the forest for his new photo shoot with Troix magazine.  You can catch a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot below — set to music by Jackson’s own band 100 Monkeys — and take a look at the cover underneath.  Hot!

MTV talked to Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg at the Emmys last night, who revealed she was roughly 80% with the screenplays, saying:

They’re coming along. I just flew in last night from working with Bill Condon, prepping the scripts. They’re a lot of work. But we’re intent on making them the best scripts yet. … 80%? It’s hard to say because there’s still more to go, but I hope…maybe 75? (laughs)

She also revealed that the sequence she’s having the most trouble with is the climactic battle:

The final battle sequence is a big challenge. Because it lasts twenty-five pages. It’s an entire three-act story in and of itself. So you have to really track [it, and] you have to keep it interesting, [since] it’s all one setting and it’s hundreds of characters. So it’s an enormous challenge to choreograph that on the page, and for Bill to choreograph that on the stage. … I’ve written a couple of drafts of it, but Bill and I haven’t actually gotten into it. That’s the next big hurdle. We’re going to sit down with the stunt coordinator and, you know, create the ballet.

Vampire lovers must be in heaven with the latest Entertainment Weekly poll which started off with 64 of the hottest vamps, wolves, monsters and the just plain un-human from this year’s popular TV shows and film. After a month of polling with a reported 1.5 million votes, the public narrowed down the Sexy Beast contest to Damon from The Vampire Diaries and Edward from The Twilight Saga.  After all was said and done though, it was Damon that came out on top.

Rolling Stone recently named Twilight Saga’s Peter Facinelli as the worst vampire of all-time.  It might sound absolutely rude and undeserved, but the blurb names Facinelli as a “solid actor,” but notes that he’s not terrifying like a vampire.  They joked that Carlisle’s blonde coif resembles that of Project Runway’s Austin Scarlet.

Will Rosalie have an even bigger role in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn? Nikki Reed recently sat down with MTV and chatted about her role and what it’s been like and where she thinks and hopes it might go.

Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries, played by hottie Ian Somerhalder, beat Edward Cullen — and by extension Robert Pattinson — in Entertainment Weekly’s summer “Sexy Beast” tournament, which pitted the hottest non-humans in pop culture against each other.

The final tally: 138,630 votes to 134,728 votes — despite Ian tweeting last week “That Pattinson guy will end up kicking my butt, however thanks for taking the time, that’s really cool:)”.

Who do you think should have won?
