a famous dad can buy you everything these days...
yeah good one, what rumours are those?
love triangle w/ Kristen???? WTF????? You're not Splash News, you're Trash News!!!
Noooo!!!! she would never make it as victoria SUMMIT LISTEN WELL! NO ONE OR NOBODY CAN REPLACE RACHELLE LEFEVRE
You stupid@zz people..quit spreading lies..Kristen Stewart has nothing to do with RL being replaced..lay the hale off of her..and look to where the problem lies..Suckmit.
That's really not fair. She's a great actress who's done some quality work. Whatever happens with Rachelle (I'm a fan) has nothing to do with Bryce. We should give her a chance.
wtf is on her neck!?!? gross!! that is the worst pic i eva saw of her!!
Kristen has noting to do with this. This is all Summit and the director David Slade. Bryce added -0- talent to Termiator. Her roles in The Village and Lady in the Water almost killed M.Night Shyamalan's movies.
When watching Eclipse all anyone will think is " Where is the real Victoria? Is this a cheap stunt double...and not even a good one!" Boycott Summit movies....Hit them in where it hurts...right in their profits!
