The indie crime thriller Catch .44 has acquired pair of lovely bloodsuckers. Deadline reports that Nikki Reed (The Twilight Saga) and Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood) have joined Aaron Harvey’s upcoming film that centers on “three gorgeous female assassins sent on a job that might be their last.” Malin Akerman will play the lead gorgeous female assassin while Forest Whitaker is on board as a psychopathic hitman, and Bruce Willis will play the head crime boss who is the mastermind behind everything that happens.

Thanks to Christine, we have some images of Nikki at the Eclipse premiere – more to be added as they are found

Nikki looks amazing in a new ad campaign started for Staples ‘Do Something’ project to help children in need for school supplies. Great cause and I’m proud that Nikki is standing behind it.

Actress, writer and L.A. native Nikki Reed is trying to figure out what to do with her life.

And while she’s been enjoying the success of the Twilight franchise — in which she co-stars as vampire Rosalie — she’s also been trying to make the most of the global phenomenon.

“It’s sometimes difficult to harness all those things and point it in the right direction so that you can get what you want out of this amazing, insane amount of exposure that none of us were really prepared for,” she tells Metro.

Of her future, Reed is sure of two things. The first is that she wants to do more than act.

Five of the actors who play Cullen family members in the Twilight film series – Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, and Ashley Greene – teamed up to answer questions at the LA press event for the third film, Eclipse. And among the questions posed to the group was, would any of them be interested in a spin-off involving their character – if approved by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer? Rathbone was quick to respond, joking, “Like Twilight the Musical? Oh yeah! I’ve got my tap dancing shoes prepared.” Reed joked, “Well, with Bill Condon…you never know!”

Facinelli had his own idea for where to take a potential Twilight spin-off and even had a name for a film based on his character, the patriach of the Cullen family: The Chronicles of Carlisle.

“The Chronicles of Carlisle? That’s awesome,” said Rathbone, laughing. “I think it’s one of those things. As opportunities present themselves, we’ll be on board or trying to figure it out with our schedules and everything. What the Twilight franchise has done for a lot of us is amazing. We have so many fans and such a strong support system. It’s a blessing. I’m just going to keep going day by day.”

Chronicles of Carlisle? Meyer should set to work on that immediately, and then finish up Midnight Sun so we can finally learn all of Edward’s backstory.

The second I saw Nikki Reed’s intricate side braid at the Activision Kick-Off Party For E3 in LA on June 14 I had to know how I could copy her effortlessly cool ‘do and how you could too obviously! Thankfully, celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess who created this stunning look promises it’s actually attainable. “It’s something that’s easy and works with anyone’s texture,” Kristin says. “There are so many hairdos we do on our celebs that are impossible to get. But, this is literally something you can do on yourself.” Nikki loved this look as much as I did too! “She’s super into it,” Kristin says. “She’s so down for anything.”

“This is a really great updo for someone with a couple of colors in their hair,” Kristin says. “We lightened Nikki’s hair up a little bit. With this you see a lot more of the color.” So, why the color change for Nikki? “ We wanted to even it out,” Kristin says. “We made the dark bottom a little lighter and did a subtle highlight around her face. It’s very low maintenance and it wont have a line. I don’t want her running around her filming location with roots or highlights that are fading.”
