Seth Green and Ashley Greene cast in Peter Facinelli's Grace Period
Seth Green and Ashley Greene have been cast in new romantic comedy 'Grace Period'. The two Hollywood stars will take the lead in director Peter Facinelli's new film, which will be offered to potential buyers at Cannes Film Festival this month with production set to start in August. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will follow a woman called Willa (Greene), who makes an impulse decision to freeze her eggs. She's helped by Dr. Rubin (Matt Walsh), but things take a turn after she meets her dream man Greg (Green) and is forced to try to make things work. Filmmaker Facinelli previously acted with Greene in the 'Twilight Saga', while he starred with Green in classic 1998 teen comedy 'Can't Hardly Wait'. The script for 'Grace Period' was written by the director's real life partner Lily Anne Harrison. Facinelli said in a statement: "I'm thrilled to be back in the director's chair for Grace Period, a film that explores a timely subject matter with heart, while delivering some much-needed laughter in the world today. 'Having known Seth and Ashley for what feels like an 'eternity,' I Can't Hardly Wait to helm their incredible talent onscreen together. "With Wango Films and Peter Winther producing, and a stellar supporting cast, we're creating something truly special that audiences are going to love.' Greene and Facinelli's 'Twilight' franchise co-star Jackson Rathbone - who played Jasper Hale - recently revealed there is a secret unreleased blooper real from the movies which shows lead actress Kristen Stewart dropping a string of expletives. He told Collider: "There was one time where they put out a special blooper screening—I think this is for 'Breaking Dawn' or 'Eclipse'—where it was just every time Kristen curses. It was like, when she's messing up her lines… It's like eight minutes long. It is amazing." Meanwhile, Greene - who played Alice Cullen - revealed that she and co-star Facinelli "got into trouble" for messing with a lifesize doll that was meant to be a version of Kristen's character Bella Swan. She said: "Peter and I also got in trouble for playing with a life-sized doll of a dead Bella." Peter added: "They were shooting on stage, and we had to wait until their scene was over, but then all of a sudden I bumped into this table, and there's a life-sized Kristen Stewart laying on the table. "They made a doll for when she breaks her back. It looked exactly like her, so I bumped into it and I was like, 'Sorry, Kristen.' "

Jennifer Love Hewitt Recalls 'Grown Men Talking to Me at 16 About My Breasts' on Talk Shows: 'Gross'
Jennifer Love Hewitt is recalling her discomfort over inappropriate comments made by adult men when she was a teenager. While on the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown podcast Tuesday, Jan. 28, the actress reflected on when she was breaking out as a young actress in the '90s, saying some of how she was viewed and treated as a sex symbol at the time "felt very innocent and exciting and fun." But when she was in her 30s, she told host Mayim Bialik, "It sort of hit me more, the things that I probably went through somewhere." "I was like, oh my God, there were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts just openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it," said Hewitt, now 45. "I really didn't take in that part of it in [at the time]." "In hindsight it was very strange to become a sex symbol for people before I even knew what that was," she continued. "I didn't know what being sexy meant, and I was on the cover of Maxim magazines. People would openly walk up and be like, 'I took your magazine with me on a trip last week,' and I'd have to be like, 'Oh, ha ha.' And I didn't really know what that meant. It's kinda gross."

Hewitt also said when her blockbuster slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer premiered in 1997, "Everybody said, 'Oh, I know what your breasts did last summer.' " "I was so mad that I had done my first movie and worked so hard and the only thing that you see is a movie poster with boobs on it," she said. Now the Can't Hardly Wait star is "thankful" that she didn't fully grasp the larger implications at the time, "'Cause I think had I taken on some of that earlier, I think it would've messed with me." Hewitt gives a lot of credit to her mom for "keeping reality very apparent" — like after a Hollywood event, "I'd have to go home and clean my room. And I think that helped," she said.

"She said people always talked about her boobs, and you go back and look at the interviews and the questions that were asked to me as a child, and it's crazy," Hewitt said. "The things that people were allowed to say to you in an interview was definitely wild." If she could give a piece of advice to her 18-year-old self, the actress said she would tell her, "You don't have to be sexy." "I would tell her to calm down, that she's still going to be here at 45," Hewitt added. "I would tell that girl, 'We got this. We're going to be here for a while.'
