New Moon Nudity: Denied!

Guess New Moon viewers will have to settle for Robert Pattinson topless.

Last week, Jamie Campbell-Bower (who portrays Volturi villain Caius) claimed that a new scene was added to the Twlight sequel, one that would depict Volturi members in their birthday suits.

It sounded hot, and a little hard to believe.

Now, director Chris Weitz has released a statement, officially debunking this naked tale:

I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the Volturi are not naked! Jamie has what you might call a dry sense of humor and almost managed to convince me — which is why he’s such a good actor. Be assured that, even though we do want the look of the Volturi to be a bit of a surprise, they are always — as in the book! — fully clothed.

Darn. At least Edward and Bella will heat up the screen many times in the movie. To wit:
