Before He Was Famous…Jackson Rathbone In Old MasterCard Commercial

Holy flashback, Batman!  The folks at EclipseMovie.org recently found and posted an old MasterCard commercial starring Jackson Rathbone.  Check it out below.

Billy Burke On the Set of “Red Riding Hood”

Billy Burke was recently spotted and photographed in costume on the set of his latest film, “Red Riding Hood”, in Vancouver.  The film is being directed by Catherine Hardwicke.  Joining Burke in the cast are Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, and Virginia Madsen.  According to iMDB, the film is set to release in March 2011.  Check out the photos here.

Like Bella’s Sunglasses In “Eclipse”?

Eclipse‘s costume designer Tish Monaghan, who revealed that these retro shades were actually just a pair of lower-priced knock-offs that Kristen Stewart picked out of 100 different options collected by props master Grant Swain.

To save you the hassle of trolling the streets for our [EW’s] off-the-sidewalk pair, [EW] handpicked three similar style options that’ll help you copy Bella’s retro look:

  • Proenza Schouler’s extended cat eye sunglasses ($290; lagarconne.com)
  • Ray-Ban’s “Cats 1000″ sunglasses ($170; asos.com)
  • Fred Flare’s “Bridget” sunglasses ($11; fredflare.com)

I love when old, before-they-were-famous commercials come out of the woodwork!

So, Billy Burke has teamed up with Catherine Hardwicke again.  I’m curious to see how this project turns out.  I’m not her biggest fan, but I am intrigued by the casting of Gary Oldman in the film.  (I love him as Sirius Black!!)

What did you think of Bella’s shades in the Jacksonville scene?  Do you think that they were more Kristen’s style or did they fit Bella’s style?  Did they inspire you to want a pair of your own?
