You can book Bella Swan's ‘Twilight' house on Airbnb — but there's an annoying catch
The home of the iconic 'Twilight' heroine Bella Swan is bookable on the vacation rental website Airbnb. The exterior and interior of the whitewashed 1930s home in St. Helens, Oregon, served as the residence of shy high-schooler Bella Swan throughout the iconic 'Twilight' saga.
The four-film franchise launched the careers of Kristen Stewart as Bella and Robert Pattinson as the 104-year-old vampire Edward Cullen.

The five-bedroom home, dubbed the 'Twilight Swan House,' can accommodate up to eight guests, according to the listing. The popular getaway has amassed 580 reviews and an impressive 4.99-star rating.
'My family and I spent Christmas there and it will be the most memorable Christmas ever!' wrote one former guest.
'Our 3rd stay at the Twilight Swan House, and it's just like the first and second time. Perfect,' share another.
It's clear that the rental's runaway popularity isn't because of the nearby historic riverfront, nor its convenient proximity to Portland. The home's owner appears to have put their heart and soul into making the rental a dream come true for 'Twilight' diehards.

The house, which Bella shared with her divorced police-chief father, Charlie, played by Billy Burke, is filled with memorabilia from the films.
Guests can enjoy dinner at Charlie Swan's actual dining table, where he cocked his shotgun before meeting his daughter's vampiric date. They can sleep in Bella's moody teenage bedroom, where Edward spent long, creepy nights watching her sleep. The listing photos boast movie-accurate purple floral bedding and even recreations of wall art just barely glimpsed in background shots of the film.
10 The Airbnb's most eye-catching room is Bella's bedroom, featuring the character's familiar purple bedding.

Upstairs, a 'lookout' room window overlooks the front yard — the same window through which Bella spied Edward parked with his shiny silver Volvo.
The rental even caters to members of 'Team Jacob.' A downstairs bedroom, dubbed the 'Jacob Black guest room,' featuring a cardboard cutout of 'New Moon'-era Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner.
Unfortunately for all of the 'Twihards' out there, the rental comes with a huge catch. The ''Twilight Swan House' appears to be booked out on Airbnb until April 2027.

Darren Aronofsky Tried to Stoke Rivalry Between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis On ‘Black Swan' Set: ‘Was All in Good Fun'
'Black Swan' returns to theaters on Aug. 21 and 24, playing in Imax for the first time to celebrate fifteen years since the psychological thriller first hit cinemas. Director Darren Aronofsky recently reunited with stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis to reflect on the film's milestone anniversary for Vogue, and their discussion revealed that the director had tried and failed to stoke rivalry between the two stars to reflect their on-screen feud. 'My take is that I was trying to be a sneaky director and make them argue,' admitted Aronofsky, 'Mila and Natalie both realized very quickly what I was doing and made fun of me, so it quickly became a joke that we all understood. They're both very clever and were instantly privy to whatever trick I was playing.' More from Variety 'Black Swan' Getting 15th Anniversary Imax Re-Release 2025 Made in NY Awards to Honor Darren Aronofsky, Michelle Buteau, Tracy Morgan and Thomas J. O'Donnell (EXCLUSIVE) 'Fountain of Youth' Review: John Krasinski and Natalie Portman Bicker Their Way to Immortality Aronofsky's method was meant to help the actors get into character, as both play ballerinas in the film, competing for top billing in a prestigious production of 'Swan Lake.' The on-screen contention between the two devolves into a fever dream of violence, deception and abuse— both mental and physical. Behind the scenes, however, Portman and Kunis were too professional and supportive of one another to give in to Aronofsky's tactics. 'I remember being separated from Mila and that we weren't in the same space a lot when we weren't shooting,' Portman recalled, but when the director would try bating her with comments about Kunis' talent and commitment, she responded, 'She's so fucking talented and I love her so much and I'm happy she's doing a great job!' Kunis faced similar situations. She said, 'Darren would tell me, 'Nat is working really, really hard. She's not even taking Saturdays and Sundays off.' Then I would text Nat and she'd be like, '…No, I'm not?' I think that's how we figured out what Darren was up to, but it was all in good fun.' Nevertheless, both actors reflected fondly on their experience working with Aronofsky. ''Black Swan' was the first time I felt like I had a mind meld with a director, where each of us always knew exactly what to say. Every time we talked it felt like he gave me a little key that unlocked a scene for me,' said Portman. Kunis added that when journalists would ask her about Aronofsky's intensity on set, she'd respond, ''He's actually a really kind, lovely guy who took us to see 'Twilight' one time because we had the day off.' And journalists were always so disappointed that he wasn't some tortured soul who treated us like garbage.' Their collaboration paid off, as 'Black Swan' earned $329.4 million at the worldwide box office. Portman took home her first Academy Award for her performance and the film garnered four additional nominations— including best picture and best director for Aronofsky. Portman summed it up well when reflecting on her first time watching the film, calling it 'shocking and exhilarating in a really wonderful way.' Audiences will be able to relive that shock and wonder in Imax next weekend, and Aronofsky's next film, 'Caught Stealing,' will hit theaters Aug. 29.

Actors With The Best American Accents
Part of being a good actor is being able to transform into any character, including being able to nail the specific accent a role calls for. Reddit user Improv92 recently asked which actors had such a convincing American accent that audiences were stunned they weren't originally from the US. Here are the ones who deserve applause for their award-winning (and realistic!) performances: "Robert Pattinson. My siblings were debating whether his real accent was the one in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire or Twilight. "Tom Holland." "Andrew Lincoln, aka Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead." "Cate Blanchett. First, I thought she was American, then I thought she was British, then I finally learned she's Australian." "Will Poulter." "I didn't know Colin Farrell was Irish for the longest time." "Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully." "Margot Robbie doesn't get nearly enough credit for her accent work." "Kelly Reilly as Beth from Yellowstone." "Christian Bale." "Ella Purnell! I was shocked when I discovered that the voice she uses for Jinx in Arcane isn't her natural speaking voice." "Melanie Lynskey." "Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House. I binged the whole series and only then learned that he's actually British, which blew my mind; he's just so good at it." "Toni Collette." "Damian Lewis. The first time I saw him in anything was Band of Brothers." "Rose Byrne." "Dominic West as Jimmy McNulty in The Wire." "Gary Oldman." "Minnie Driver. When I saw her in Good Will Hunting, I thought her British accent was so fake. Joke's on me." "Naomi Watts." "Theo James in The White Lotus and Divergent." "Isla Fisher." "Freddie Highmore." "Charlie Hunnam." "Cillian Murphy." "Millie Bobby Brown." "Idris Elba." "Emily Blunt." "Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us." "Joseph Quinn." "Nicole Kidman." "Hugh Jackman." "Milly Alcock in Sirens. She had so many small phonetic mannerisms down that I was shocked to learn she wasn't from the US." Now it's your turn! Which actor nails an American accent best? Share your thoughts in the comments!
