• Twilight BFF's to Play Men

  Twilight stars Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart can next be seen playing men in upcoming movie K-11. Said Reed, "K-11 is where they basically put people who wouldn't survive in the general population [in prison]. I'm playing a man who has become a woman.... I was born a man, but I never felt like a man -- I always knew that I was a woman. I just was born with the wrong body parts."

  K-11 will shoot during a break between New Moon and Eclipse, and it's written and directed by Stewart's mom, Jules Mann-Stewart. It also stars Jason Mewes. No points for guessing how Stewart and best pal Reed ended up with starring roles. Hmmmm ... maybe they're hoping to give Robert Pattinson's controversial role in Little Ashes a run for its money.

• Twilight Starlets Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart Discuss Reteaming as Men in Prison Story K-11

  

  Now that Twilight is out and on its way to likely box office glory, how will stars Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed follow their respective performances as Bella and Rosalie? Well by playing men in prison, of course.

  “I play a 30 year-old man,” Reed told ReelzChannel. “I’m going to be covered head-to-toe in tattoos. I’m going to be aged. I have scruff, I have [thicker] eyebrows and I’m a meth addict. Everything about my physical being right now will not be a part of that character.”

  “K-11 takes place in a dorm of the L.A. County jail,” Stewart adds. “It’s where you go if you can’t be put into the general population. It’s full of really eccentric, crazy characters. Nikki and I play two of them. Jason Mewes wakes up in this place, doesn’t know where he is and tries to get out for two weeks to see if he can integrate himself into the community. It’s this really, really sweet but really screwed up little family going on in there.”

  The ambitious project will be directed by Stewart’s mother, Jules Stewart. More to come as we hear it on this intriguing movie.

• What's coming up for Kevin Smith? Horror and porn.

  Kevin Smith has two new projects in the hopper, both of which sound quite interesting.

  The first, a comedy called Zack and Miri Make a Porno, is about two Minnesota friends who decide to start up an amateur porn studio as their high school reunion looms.

  Although no casting is definite yet, Smith told MTV.com that he wrote the role of Miri for Rosario Dawson and would be "flabbergasted" if she didn't do it. Jason Mewes will likely be in it as well, although not as his View Askew character Jay.

  The next project, Red State, is less traditional Smith fare. The writer/director describes it in the horror/thriller vein (he actually said it was more like The Shining than Hostel), with a character inspired by Fred Phelps--the uber conservative right-wing Christian minister who claims that AIDS is a scourge sent by God to punish homosexuals. Sounds scary to us.

  Smith expects to shoot both Red State and Zack and Miri this winter.
