Justin Bieber will set off sparks of his own when he performs at the “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” on NBC on Sunday (July 4).

Here’s a sneak preview of Bieber singing his hit song “Baby” to a crowd of excited fans under the Queensboro Bridge. It kinda sounds like you can actually already hear fireworks going off in the background.

Guess who else is coming? You guessed it! NBC says Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and other stars from the “Twilight: Eclipse” cast are also participating in the event, which airs at 9 p.m. ET Sunday.

Are you planning to watch the Biebster, Robsten and Taylor at the Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular this Sunday?

You may have already seen “Eclipse” two times by now (heck even three!), but you might want to get yourself ready to head back to the theater some more this weekend after you hear this news!

We’ve seen a lot of chatter on Twitter today — including this tweet and this one — regarding the possibility of stars from the movie making surprise appearances at “Eclipse” showings in theaters throughout the country this weekend.

Well, surprise! We have exclusively confirmed with a source from the studio that YES the rumors are true! And, we can also confirm that it will be a whole SLEW of “Twilight” actors popping up in MANY locations around the country. While we don’t have any more information at the moment (i.e. don’t ask us if GPS chips will be put on the actors), you can rest assured that you now have that much more of a chance to come within feet of your very favorite Forks resident. Happy hunting, Crushers!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Taylor Lautner was looking sharp in a handsome suit on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” black carpet in Los Angeles on Thursday night, but on Friday he planned to cut loose.

“You’re done with ‘Twilight’ after tonight [for a bit]. What’s the first thing you’re gonna do tomorrow morning?” Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson asked Taylor on his way into the film.

“Tomorrow morning, I am gonna relax for a day,” Taylor said. “I’m gonna do nothing.” In the coming days, however, the 18-year-old said he has some quality plans in mind – spending time with his loved ones.

“I have family in town I’m gonna spend time with them. And then the next day I’m gonna go to New York,” he said.

New York though, will only be a brief stop.

“Then I go to Pittsburgh – to begin filming ‘Abduction!’” Taylor said of the thriller he will star in, playing a teenager who finds out he was kidnapped as a youngster, prompting the discovery of a major conspiracy that sends him on the run.

He’s looking really snazzy now isn’t he?

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be in New York City this week promoting Eclipse. Here’s a look at where you can catch them in the Big Apple:

Kristen will be taping The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, 6/28

Taylor will be appearing Dave’s show on 7/1, but that will probably also be taped on 6/28.

The Late Show films at the Ed Sullivan Theater, 1697 Broadway Mon-Thurs and the show’s guests usually arrive around 5 p.m. through a side door on W 53rd. But, get there early if you want to see them walk in, there is usually a crowd forming by 3 and for the Twilight stars, we’d try to arrive even earlier.

Taylor will be on The Today Show Monday 6/28.Kristen is also scheduled to appear on The Today Show (will most likely be Tuesday, 6/29).

Taylor will appear on Live with Regis & Kelly on Monday, 6/28, Kristen will appear the show on Tuesday, 6/29.

There will also be a premiere or screening for Eclipse on Monday, 6/28 in NYC, but location is still unknown.

Source: On Location Vacations

I have gotten many emails and twitter messages about where the screening will be. Fans have bought tickets and are going to be searching up and down the streets of New York for it.

Where do I think it’ll be? I’ll give a few options of MAJOR premiere locations for New York.

-Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema, New York City, NY :: Why? Because New Moon had it’s screening there. It’s high on my list for sure!
-Ziegfeld Theatre Manhattan, NY :: Why? Popular movies go there, such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
-Radio City Music Hall :: Why? Major landmark in NYC! Why it’s probably NOT there? People would have found out already and would have lined up.

Added 4 high quality new photos of Taylor at LAX today so he can do his interviews tomorrow. Right after his interviews in New York, he’s heading to Pittsburgh to film his new movie Abduction! WOW where has the time gone?

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s Gil Birmingham, who plays Jacob’s father Billy Black, caught up with On The Red Carpet’s Rachel Smith at the recent Los Angeles premiere of his new film Love Ranch, which stars Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci.

Birmingham had some kind words to say about his co-star Taylor Lautner. “In the first film, I mean he really was a boy,” he told Smith. “So I’m just so proud to watch him literally transform into this leading man. The experience is just one of the best I’ve ever had.”

He joked, “I always say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

As for what fans can expect for next week’s opening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Birmingham confirms that the film stays true to the beloved book. “Stephanie [Meyer] has written and crafted a wonderful novel and Melissa [Rosenberg] has just toned it down for the time and the space she had to get it done,” he said.

Clearly happy to be a part of the hit movie franchise, Taylor Lautner couldn’t believe the chaotic scene at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles last night (June 24).

All suited up for the Hollywood premiere of “Eclipse,” the Jacob Black stud declared upon hitting the red carpet, “It’s absolutely incredible and so exciting.”

Taylor continued to tell, “It’s a little bit of pressure, because you definitely want to live up to their expectations, but at the same time, we luckily have the most supportive fans in the world. Sometimes, this is just like extra comfort.”

Meanwhile, Mr Lautner is readying to start filming a new movie called “Abduction,” of which he told MTV News, “I start [shooting the movie] in, like, three days. I have a day off tomorrow, I go to New York the next day, and then I go to Pittsburgh. I’m so excited!”

-3:43PM ET – Taylor interview during Press Junket

10:25 a.m. PT Summit has allowed for video recording at the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” press conferences. I, alas, do not have a video camera. What I *do* have is fast-ish fingers and a [currently] reliable Internet connection. So follow along as I live-blog today’s various press conferences. Up first… Taylor Lautner, after the break.

10:30 a.m. PT Start time approaching. Anticipation building. Head hurting just a little… Also note that my signal is a bit iffy. So just cross your fingers for the next few hours for me…

10:34 a.m. Taylor arrives. Natty silver blazer.

10:35 a.m. “Probably the people around me. They’re what I care about. They’re my motivation.” That’s Taylor’s answer to the first question, regarding what drives him. He says he also drives a car that gets him from Point A to Point B.

10: 36 a.m. “I was bummed that I wasn’t involved in too much action… I got to kiss Bella for the first time,” Taylor says of new things in this movie. He says he and Rob didn’t compare notes.

10:37 a.m. “I’m so thankful for the franchise and everything it’s provided,” Taylor says, saying he’s had the time of his life. He says choosing future projects is a gut instinct. It’s whatever he can watch. It’s also whenever he can finish a script. He adds, “I want to challenge myself on a lot of different things.”

10:38 a.m. Taylor says he doesn’t have an entourage, but he has a couple guys.

10:39 a.m. “Occasionally you really want some ice cream,” Taylor says, regarding the desire to cheat in his diet. He explains that it’s actually just as difficult to keep the muscle mass as it was to acquire it in the first place. He says it’s 10 times harder. We don’t ask to check his math.

10:40 a.m. “Jacob matures quite a bit,” Taylor says, though he emphasizes that the changes are all from the book, because that’s what the fans want to see.

10:40 a.m. Taylor gets to work with Robert Pattison more in this movie. “Usually I have to hate him in the scenes and it’s difficult. He’s such a funny nice guy,” Taylor says. Awww… “As soon as they call cut, we just bust out laughing,” he says.

10:41 a.m. The tent scene is his favorite scene he got to do with Rob.

10:41 a.m. Even Taylor is amused by his frequent shirtlessness. “Those are the awkward scenes, where everybody is fully closed and it’s raining and I’m waiting there, the only person just posing there.”

10:42 a.m. Taylor can’t tell us how “Breaking Dawn” will be split.

10:42 a.m. “Whatever the book says, that’s most likely what we’re going to do,” Taylor on when he takes his shirt off.

10:43 a.m. “Chances are it might be a little different from the doll,” Taylor says, regarding the “Stretch Armstrong” movie. He adds, “The cool thing with the toy is that there is no story,” calling it “super-exciting and creative.”

10:44 a.m. Taylor says there are a lot more pros than cons to celebrities.

10:45 a.m. More on the tent scene, specifically the line where Jacob tells Edward, “After all, I’m hotter than you.” Context matters. Taylor says, “It’s another one of those lines that was a little difficult to say to Rob.”

10:45 a.m. “It’s by far my favorite movie,” Taylor says of “Eclipse.” He encourages you to see it.

10:46 a.m. “Working with Mr. Cruise was really surreal. Making a movie with him would be one of my dreams,” says Taylor of his experiences with Les Grossman at the MTV Movie Awards.

10:46 a.m. Taylor has never been in a love triangle, at least not since elementary school. He says he wouldn’t want to find himself in the romantic situation depicted in the movie.

10:48 a.m. Ack. Awkward Taylor Swift question. No real answer. Clearly.

10:48 a.m. Taylor has only met Bill Condon once and very briefly, so they haven’t talked “Breaking Dawn.” He’s looking forward to those conversations.

10:49 a.m. “I think that was definitely the right thing to do,” Taylor says of breaking “Breaking Dawn” into two movies. “There’s just so much to do with the Wolfpack and the Baby.” If you could hear his tone as he says “the baby.” He sure sounds… wary. As he should.

10:50 a.m. Taylor’s guilty pleasures are “American Idol.” He hasn’t missed an episode in nine years. “I can’t believe I just said that.”

10:51 a.m. “Yeah. I really… I haven’t started thinking about it too much…” Taylor says of the “unique romantic entanglement” he has in “Breaking Dawn.” He adds, “That will be interesting, for sure.”

10:51 a.m. “I wouldn’t say they’re weird, but they’re definitely passionate,” Taylor says of “weird” fan encounters.

10:52 a.m. “It definitely is surrounding yourself with your family and the friends you’ve been around forever,” Taylor says, regarding the key to staying grounded and not getting a swelled head. “We sit at home. We’re not that exciting. We watch ‘American Idol’ every Tuesday and Wednesday,” he says.

10:53 a.m. Is anybody else thinking what I’m thinking? Taylor Lautner should TOTALLY be replacing Simon Cowell as the new “American Idol” judge.

10:54 a.m. “Yeah, you can be creative. It’s a matter of choosing where you go and when you go,” Taylor says, regarding whether it’s possible for him to go out in public. He says he has low-key restaurants he goes to, but sometimes he just wants to go bowling, even if it becomes a zoo.

10:55 a.m. Is there anything Taylor’s looking to take home with him after the movies end, anything of sentimental value? “It would probably be those little jean-shorts.”

10:55 a.m. The whole cast, they’re all friends. Taylor can’t imagine filming without the whole cast. They hang out on the weekends. “We will definitely maintain friendship for a very long time past this franchise.”

10:56 a.m. Taylor says that looks for stories when he eyes future projects. He’s “super-excited” to get going on “Abduction,” which starts production in three weeks.

10:57 a.m. Has Taylor ever fought for a woman in real life? “Yeah. Definitely. If it’s important to you… Yeah, I’ve fought for a woman.”

10:57 a.m. Another “Breaking Dawn” question. Does Taylor want to keep the “out-there” elements of the book. He says it’s “super-important” to remain faithful to the books. “There may have to be a few little changes here and there,” he acknowledges. “I think that Bill Condon, whatever he does is going to turn out amazing.”

10:58 a.m. That’s it for Taylor. Kristen is next…

You know what Bella and Edward are thinking about in that picture to the right don’t you?

Press Conference

Video:

TWILIGHT Saga: Eclipse fans, you might want to take a deep breath before you read on.

In a devastating blow to Twilight Saga: Eclipse lovers, it’s been announced that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will NOT be attending the UK premiere.

Details of the July 1 gala have just been announced and instead of the famous trio walking the red carpet in Leicester Square, they will send messages by video link instead.

However, there is a silver lining. Some of our other favourite stars WILL be in attendance – which at least gives us someone to direct our screams at.

Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen),Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Cullen); the fiercely hot wolf pack Alex Meraz.(Paul), Boo boo Stewart (Seth Clearwater) and their new enemy Xavier Samuel (Rily) will all descend upon the capital.

Sigh. But we guess some Cullen action is better than none at all.

The Twilight Saga Eclipse opens across the UK on July 9th.
