Before hitting it big in the Twilight films, Robert Pattinson was a young actor finding small parts in films such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and other smaller films. But it was the role of Edward Cullen that made Pattinson a worldwide star. Now that he is done filming all of the Twilight movies, Pattinson is thankful for the doors that the franchise has opened for him, but at the same time it has been tough for him to deal with all that stardom also brings.

A few weeks ago, we told you that Glee star Jane Lynch spent her summer hiatus shooting “The Three Stooges,” a big-screen adaptation of the legendary shorts. Sean Hayes (of “Will & Grace”) plays Larry, Chris Diamantopoulos (of “The Starter Wife” and “24″) plays Moe, and Will Sasso (of “MADtv”) plays Curly. Lynch told us that she thinks those guys did an amazing job in the film. It might come as a surprise to some that despite co-starring in the film, Lynch wasn’t a big fan of The Three Stooges growing up.
You will have to wait a while to see the film which doesn’t open until April 12, 2012, but in the meantime you can catch Lynch on the FOX hit series Glee which airs Tuesday night at 8/7 central.
