As if any of you Twi-hards needed your fires stoked any more for this movie, ahead of its takeover of every cinema on the planet this Friday, November 18^th, Summit Entertainment has released nine new hi-res glossy (if not sparkly) stills from The Twilight Saga: Break Dawn – part 1.

Directed by Bill Condon (Chicago),  this installment of the series finds the Quileute and the Volturi closing in on newlyweds and expecting parents Edward and Bella, whose unborn child poses different threats to the wolf pack and vampire coven.

In case you’ve been in a coma for the last three years, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1 stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, Jackson Rathbone, Dakota Fanning, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Billy Burke and Kellan Lutz.  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 2, also based on the last of Stephanie Meyers’ phenomenally successful books, will open November 2012.

Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, Billy Burke and Julia Jones all take time out to visit the hundreds of fans camping out  for tomorrow’s Los Angeles premiere of Twilight Saga:  Eclipse posing for pictures and signing autographs.

I love that picture of Peter Facinelli comforting a fan who holds up a poster that her cat died while she was in line. Poor girl   He’s so decent. Jenny Garth is so lucky (but so is he).

Jackson Rathbone twirls a lucky kid around looking like they are having a blast.  Can you imagine how ecstatic those fans were when these four Twilight stars showed up just to say hi and thanks for being so loyal? When people are that loyal to you, you need to reciprocate somehow.  Now that’s class!

Gerard Butler looks deliciously fine as he attends the Artists For Peace and Justice to benefit the Haiti Earthquake tragedy. It’s nice to see the man involved in such a worthwhile cause.

Several stars attended a brunch on the weekend for this same charity hosted by writer, director Paul Haggis including Penelope Cruz, Javiar Bardem and others.  Penelope and Javiar agreed to donate $50K a year until 2015 to help rebuild the country’s schools.  That brunch raised $4.5 Million.  Paul Haggis founded Artists For Peace and Justice.

Also attending last night’s benefit:

• Olivia Wilde
• Rick Yune
• Diane Lane
• Lisa Edelstein
• AnnaLynne McCord
• Billy Burke
• Maria Bello
• Benji Madden
• Billy Zane
