Full swing into toddlerhood and Bryce Dallas Howard reveals that 2 ½-year-old son Theodore ‘Theo’ Norman’s age made this past holiday season particularly challenging.
“It’s this age where you get to really start to introduce concepts because he’s speaking … and we had the interesting challenge of introducing Santa Claus,” she shares while visiting The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien recently.
As husband Seth Gabel is Jewish and Bryce herself a “Connecticut W.A.S.P,” the actress admits the situation was “tricky” to say the least! “We don’t want to lie to him,” she insists.
“My husband was like, ‘I’m game for this Santa Claus idea, but can we find a compromise so that he doesn’t have some crippling paradigm shift when he’s 8 [and realizes that] Santa Claus isn’t real?’”
Conjuring up a story that portrayed Santa Claus as “a spirit” that appears during the season of giving, Bryce laughs that Theo wasn’t convinced! “Our son immediately was like, ‘Santa Claus? Who’s Santa Claus?’ And we were like, ‘Well, Santa Claus gives us gifts in this spirit,’ and he’s like, ‘Santa Claus? Where’s Santa Claus?’” she says.
As Conan suggested that the first-time parents are “totally over-thinking this,” Bryce shares that he is not alone in his belief; Her father, director Ron Howard took a similar stance on the matter. “That’s kind of what my parents said,” she reveals. “They were just like there’s reindeer, he flies.”
Despite Bryce and Seth’s determination to be “good parents,” the couple eventually waved the white flag.
“We just lost our way and finally we’re just like, ‘Yeah, he’s approximately 300 lbs., comes down through the chimney, [and] you get a lot of gifts. It’s fantastic.’”

Twilight’s latest vampire Bryce Dallas Howard has revealed she is having a tough time choosing between Team Edward and Team Jacob.
The 28-year-old is taking on the role of evil vampire Victoria in the third movie in the franchise, Eclipse, and said she still isn’t sure if she is actually a Team Edward or Team Jacob fan.
She said: ‘I understand Bella’s dilemma. It’s so hard! I mean, I went beserk over Edward when I read Twilight and when I saw the film.
‘In New Moon, Taylor is incredible as Jacob, so I don’t know.’
Bryce, who is in Vancouver filming the 3rd Twilight movie (Eclipse), enjoyed a date night with her husband Seth Gabel. They attended a movie in downtown Vancouver. Bryce replaced Rachelle Lefevre and is playing the character ‘Victoria’.
With the biggest names in Tinseltown all coming together, the stars were out in full force for the 2010 Art of Elysium: Heaven Gala in Beverly Hills on Saturday night (January 16).
Leading the charge at the Wilshire Blvd charity fete were top names including the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, Jessica Alba and Adam Lambert .
Meanwhile, Hollywood couples made their way through the arrivals area and inside to their tables one after another.
Loved up twosomes in attendance included recently engaged Katy Perry and Russell Brand, along with Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, Ashley Olsen and Justin Barth, Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, as well as Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols.
Rounding out the guest list were beauties such as Olivia Wilde, Kate Bosworth, Dita Von Teese, Bryce Dallas Howard, Marisa Tomei, Molly Sims, Minka Kelly, Emilie de Ravin, Olivia Munn, Brittany Snow and Jaime King.
2010 kicked off with twi-tastic news that sent fans of the franchise into a full out frenzy. Scammers took to the Internet to cook up a big, fat juicy lie that placed them in an exclusive screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. They blogged about the brilliant Bryce Dallas Howard, mingled with the production team and slipped that the official trailer will debut on January 18th at the Golden Globes. So what’s the deal? Are all these rumors really true or did some scammers take Twilight fans for a ride?
Before you work yourself up into a full blown twi-tack know that these are just rumors and nobody has seen the film yet. The rumors that a few lucky fans were handpicked to screen test the film are just extreme lies told by scammers looking for attention. These rumors have gotten attention from everyone and Pel from TwilightLexicon was quoted as saying, “No one is test screening ANYTHING right now. They’re all watching Avatar and saying I’m gonna get you James Cameron and your little dog too. If they’re test screening Eclipse this weekend then I’m having a full frontal threesome snog with Peter Facinelli and Billy Burke.”
With that news past us, let’s focus back on the realm of possibility. Through the rumors these bloggers were typing, they did bring up an interesting topic. They stated, “that Before it started some guy from Summit said that they are going to release the teaser trailer On Janurary[sic] 18th at the Golden Globes.” We are six months away from the film and a trailer would be a nice bonus for Twilight fans, but how long do we have to wait? The Twilight Saga: New Moon trailer debuted in May at the MTV Movie Awards which was six months before the release date. So as we rev up for Awards season, which award show do you think will be privileged with the unveiling of the new trailer?

Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel, Taylor Lautner’s new co-stars on “The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse”, have filmed a kissing scene for the highly anticipated vampire drama flick, which will be released in U.S. theaters on June 30, 2010.
