Twilight Director Selling T-Shirt from Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s First Kissing Scene: While Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson may not be rekindling their off-screen love anytime soon, Twi-hards can experience the Bella and Edward romance all over again. The t-shirt that Bella wore in her very first Twillight kissing scene with Edward is now up for auction. Director of the vampire-cult movies, Catherine Hardwicke, will raffle off the t-shirt to raise money for the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) and the University of California’s “Promise for Education” campaign. Unlike most auctions, the prize won’t go to the top bidder -- a donation of at least $25 grants anyone a chance of winning, and Hardwicke will award the t-shirt to a randomly selected donor.
