Access Hollywood ranks the top 10 brightest stars with the brightest futures and look who made the list:
7. Dakota Fanning
As we have watched Dakota Fanning grow up on the big screen, the actress has come into her own recently with a new look that sheds the former child star image. Her style, while still age appropriate, incorporates colorful dresses, casual fitted jeans and ballet flats. Dakota’s choices in roles have also taken a new tone, as she is about to appear this fall in her first sinister role as the vampire Jane in “New Moon.”
5. Kristen Stewart
Seen out sporting colorful pairs of retro sneakers with edgy print dresses, Kristen Stewart definitely has a style all her own and she isn’t afraid to show it. In addition to being the queen of “The Twilight Saga” franchise, she’s not slowing down anytime soon. She recently appeared in “Adventureland” and has completed shooting for “The Runaways.” For the latter, she sported a punk rock do for her role as Joan Jett, and rocked the ‘80s look like few teens her age are able to.
3. Taylor Lautner
Taylor Lautner has won over everyone from Summit Entertainment executives to teen girls around the world. He alone has been the root cause behind switching allegiances from Team Edward to Team Jacob in “The Twilight Saga” franchise. He has become a fashion star as well, appearing on the red carpet in sharp Calvin Klein suits as well as earning the title of InStyle’s Man of Style. With two (and maybe three) more “Twilight Saga” films ahead of him, Taylor’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Death Cab For Cutie Talk Inspiration Behind 'New Moon' Song
'Meet Me on the Equinox' is 'based on tones' of the 'Twilight' series, Ben Gibbard says.
Given that their song "Meet Me on the Equinox" is the first single off the upcoming "New Moon" soundtrack, you would think that Death Cab for Cutie would be flush with information about the much-anticipated "Twilight" sequel.
Well, you'd be wrong.
"I think they're still trying to find a place for the song in the film," DCFC frontman Ben Gibbard laughed. "We keep hearing either the beginning or end ... we have about as much information about this movie as [MTV] viewers do. We wrote a song for the thing and we don't know what's going on. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
Luckily, the Death Cab guys were a little more forthcoming with information about the song itself, as we discovered when we visited the set of the "Equinox" music video last week in Toronto, Canada.
The inspiration behind the tune is drawn more from Gibbard's own life rather than the lives of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, he explained.
"The song at its core is just about meeting another halfway, because life is very short, because there's only a brief period of time to really connect with people, and that it's important to recognize that," Gibbard said. "I haven't read all of the 'Twilight' books, but I know a bit about them, and I think the song is really based on tones of the series.
"Like, I think it would've been really easy to write a song that was like a book report, and I've always kind of disliked book report songs, even though I'm guilty of a couple myself over the years," he continued. "I just wanted something that kind of tonally matched the story and the scenes within the film, so they could kind of be put alongside but not be telling a narrative you're watching on the screen."
Then again, all of that might change next week. Seems that — as is the case with anything he writes — Gibbard is constantly trying to understand the inspiration behind "Equinox."
"Whenever we make a record or finish writing a song, [and] it ends up in the world, I feel like I'm always in a process of trying to understand them myself," he said. "Because you kind of write songs from a particular place in your consciousness, and then you have to later make sense of why you wrote things the way you did, because you're kind of channeling it as you write it."

Jamie Cambell Bower talks New Moon
With only two more months left before "New Moon" finally hits theaters, many fans have begun looking past the series' stars (RPattz, KStew, Taycob) and wondering who the next big breakout will be. And while it might be smart to place your money on such newcomers as Kiowa Gordon, Dakota Fanning or Cameron Bright, we feel like the man to beat might just be Jamie Campbell Bower.
Handsome, witty and starring in the high-profile role of Volturi vampire Caius, Bower has one secret weapon at his disposal that his co-stars don't: two other high-profile projects (the next "Harry Potter" movie, TV's "The Prisoner") scheduled to wage war on our pop-culture awareness soon.
When we caught up with Bower, the up-and-coming Brit was eager to deliver some surprising news about his accent, walking in the "Potter"/"Twilight" footsteps of Robert Pattinson, and why he enjoys tearing people apart.
(And don't miss the exclusive "New Moon" trailer premiering at the 2009 Video Music Awards on Sunday, presented by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.)
MTV: So, Jamie, you told us that you experimented with different accents while working on "New Moon." Is it safe to say that Caius and the other Volturi will have Italian accents, since they live in Volterra?
Jamie Campbell Bower: Actually, I have an English accent. Because they're so old — they're 2,000 years old, these guys — they would've tried [everything]. They're speaking English now, but they wouldn't have spoken English throughout all of their life. And so there's sort of a round vowel sound. The R's are very pronounced. It's kind of strange. It's almost medieval, the way we speak.
MTV: We're going to see you in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" as Gellert Grindlewald, joining Rob as the only actor to have a foot in both of these phenomenally huge franchises. Have you guys bonded over this?
Campbell Bower: Well, Rob is quite a significant character in the "Potter" movies, I believe, from what I can remember. My character is a bit smaller.
MTV: Have you and Rob discussed things he learned as he tried to go from one franchise to the other? Did he have pointers for you?
Campbell Bower: No. There isn't much difference between them, apart from the story. They're both massive franchises, and they both work like a machine, you know? Everyone's on time, and everyone's doing the best job that they can.
MTV: Some people might say that "Twilight" is more for girls, while boys enjoy "Potter" more. Would you agree?
Campbell Bower: I'd say that they've both got fairly specific fanbases. "Twilight" is more for your 13- to18-year-olds, although there are people who obviously enjoy it — older people — which is great. But I think the main audience is the 13- to 18-year-olds, maybe because of Rob and the fact that they love Edward. [As for] "Harry Potter," it's a bit younger. Although the recent films are a bit dark. I saw [a "Potter" film] the other day, and I thought it was quite scary. You've also got your older audience [there].
MTV: What's the difference between how you approach each franchise?
Campbell Bower: Like, am I playing them the same? No, I mean, they're two different characters, they're two different people. [To play them the same] would be like, "I've just eaten some cheese, and now I'm eating an apple, and it tastes like cheese." When you're filming anything, you've just got to believe in the character and believe yourself that you are the character.
MTV: What's the one scene in "New Moon" you most enjoyed filming?
Campbell Bower: Well, there's a particular scene where we rip this guy apart, and I just sit there smiling and really enjoying it. When I got the script, I was like, "That's the one I want to do the most!," because there's nothing to say. It's really sordid, gross and really grim — that was pretty fun.

Twilight-Fail for MTV Awards Host Russell Brand
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner may be appearing at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, but that doesn't mean show host Russell Brand knows a thing about Twilight.
What?
When I caught up with Brand earlier today during VMA rehearsals at Radio City Music Hall, he made no apologies for not being able to tell me if he was Team Edward or Team Jacob...
"I don't know what those words mean," the British bad boy explained. "I am afraid I am not the demographic. I wish them both well, but I don't think I am their type of audience."
That doesn't mean Twilight won't get plenty of attention. "You just look at the landscape and see what's prevalent," Brand said. "It's pretty obvious what things are going to work and what things people are interested in."
Does that mean he's gunning for the Jonas Brothers again? Brand came under some serious criticism last year when he mocked the JoBros for their purity rings.
"If you'd have asked me last year, 'Is the script controversial?' I would've said no," Brand said. "So perhaps I am not the best barometer of what constitutes as controversial."
Meanwhile, the seating plan was coming along nicely this afternoon. Except there was no marker for Pattinson. I'm told producers haven't been told yet whether he will be sitting in the audience during the show.
Lautner and Stewart are definitely there. They're a seat apart from each other in the fifth row, as is Ashley Greene.
As our pals over at The Awful Truth stress, Robsten PDA at the VMAs is unlikely. However, we do suspect Pattinson will be slipping into one of those empty seats next to Stewart.
