Rob and Kristen make PopSugar's 2011 Top 100 List

2. Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson slipped from the top spot to number two in the 2011 PopSugar 100! After coming in at number one for 2009 and 2010, Robert still has an amazingly devoted fan base who come out to vote for him in droves, no matter the contest. Robert scored his first big post-Twilight success this year with Water For Elephants, which costarred Reese Witherspoon. Robert also got back into character as Edward Cullen to film both Breaking Dawn movies, which come out in Novembers of 2011 and 2012. Shooting the sexy honeymoon scenes gave us a peek at his hot shirtless body with a bikini-clad Kristen Stewart, and their offscreen romance is still hot as ever. He's currently working on another high-profile movie, David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, which will once again cement Robert's leading man status after the franchise that made him famous.

4. Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart was eliminated early in a surprising 2010 PopSugar 100 turn, but in 2011 she shot right up to the top! The Twilight star has legions of devoted fans around the world, who love everything from her red-carpet style to her relationship with costar Robert Pattinson. Kristen celebrated a milestone birthday this year, turning 21 just as she finished up work on Breaking Dawn. Kristen landed on her first ever cover of Vogue and further cemented herself as a fashion risk-taker on red carpets while maintaining her t-shirt and jeans style otherwise. Kristen also shot On the Road and signed on to star in an upcoming adaptation of Snow White called Snow White and the Huntsman.
In 2009, she ranked #44; 2010, #65
All-Time Fave Stars: #9

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' panel will take place at Comic-Con

Thanks to The New York Times' newest report on the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, it has now been confirmed that a panel for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 will be featured at the event.

It's been estimated for quite some time that a Breaking Dawn panel would be featured at the show, since both Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon (which also had November release dates) panels were done in previous years (note: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's release date took place prior to last year's event, so there was nonesuch for that film).

With Twilight, the featured panelists for the film were Stephenie Meyer, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Catherine Hardwicke, Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi, and Cam Gigandet. For New Moon, the featured panels were Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner (videos for both years are attached in the sidebar).

No word yet on which castmembers or filmmakers will appear for the Breaking Dawn - Part 1 pane but Summit has just shared a press release indicating more information:

In addition to Summit’s booth presence at Comic-Con®, the studio will also host one of the first panels of the day in Hall H on Thursday, July 21st dedicated to THE TWILIGHT SAGA franchise. Fans interested in the story’s final chapters will be shown exclusive footage from THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1 and be treated to a filmmaker and cast Q&A session providing details on the first half of the epic two part finale, in theatres November 18, 2011.
