Congrats to Twilight Saga star/musician Jackson Rathbone.
Rathbone, perhaps best known to fans as vampire Jasper Hale in the bloodsucking film series and his burlesque dancer girlfriend, Sheila Hafsadi, are due to welcome their first child early this summer.
Rathbone, 27, met Hafsadi, 24, during a tour stop with his band 100 Monkeys.
“The couple is thrilled and excited to be expecting their first child,” the rep for the couple said Monday.
Careful, TwiHards: The most talked-about scene in Breaking Dawn — Part 1 (Oh, except for that low-key wedding and the laughable sex scene…) has caused an unexpected response in some audience members who’ve seen the blockbuster in theaters since its release earlier this month
Never underestimate the power of TwiHards. Film fanatics helped the fourth film in the series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part I, score a massive $283.5 million opening weekend worldwide, setting huge records in the process.
“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ opened to the third-best numbers in history, and streaming video from its various premieres showed screaming fans who will never get laid ever losing their minds about a ridiculous movie with a thinly-veiled morality theme dictating sex before marriage is an abomination akin to the war in Darfur and abortion is always wrong even if the kid is trying to destroy you from the inside out and hey, way to reward simple-minded mediocrity, America!
But nevermind all that. An awful lot of the critics hated it. Sometimes hilariously so.
We’ve got a feeling devoted TwiHards aren’t going to like what critics have to say about the fourth film in the supernatural franchise, opening in theaters this Thursday. “Lame” seems to be the resounding theme resonating throughout many of the early reviews for Part I of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, the finale of Stephenie Meyer’s epic vampire love story.
Chances are it won’t matter much anyway.
