Tears, joy and drama at Kourtney Kardashian's baby shower

948Cover.jpgKourtney, Kim and Khloé speak only to LIFE & STYLE about what caused the family's big fight with Scott, the father of Kourtney's baby--and how they all finally came together.

Standing in her mother's backyard, surrounded by a sea of blue balloons, blue cake and blue cotton candy, Kourtney Kardashian, looking stunning in a Diane von Furstenberg dress and Movado jewels, greeted guests as they arrived at her glamorous baby shower in LA on Nov. 14. Kourtney spent the afternoon enjoying bite-size burgers and mini pizzas from LA restaurant Chinois and dessert, flown in for the event from New York City's BCake NY with 84 of her closest female family and friends. And making a surprise appearance was Scott Disick, Kourtney's boyfriend and the father of the baby, who was greeted like family by the entire Kardashian clan!

But as anyone who follows E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians knows, Scott's relationship with Kourtney's family hasn't always been so chummy. "We're obsessed with one another," Kourtney tells Life & Style. "If someone does something wrong to one of us, we're all down their throats."

"When Scott came back into our lives, it was like Kourtney was asking us to forgive and forget everything she'd said about him," Kim explains. "We were really confused. We had to readjust our feelings about him, and sometimes we had a tough time with it." Scott's hard-partying behavior did little to ease their concerns. "I think he was just trying to have as much fun as possible before the baby came," Kim tells Life & Style. "All he wanted to do was hang out with his friends. He needed to realize that Kourtney and the baby had to come first."

"It was hard," Kourtney admits. "There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby -- I needed everyone to just get over it." In the end, Kourtney's pleas for peace didn't win over her family -- Scott did. "He just started trying so much harder," Khloé tells Life & Style. Case in point: "He put the crib together -- no one asked him to," Khloé says. "He's not a manual labor kind of guy, but for him to put the crib and changing table together meant so much to Kourtney." The transformation isn't lost on Kourtney. The tension "was really intense for a few months," she says. "But I feel like if that stuff hadn't happened, things wouldn't feel as good as they do today."

Meet Rob and Taylor's new competition!

CharlieChaske.jpgLike his New Moon character, Sam Uley, Chaske (pronounced Chess-kay) Spencer proved to be leader of the pack on set in Vancouver, British Columbia. "I was the older brother or father figure," he told Life & Style during an exclusive photo shoot with costar Charlie Bewley on Nov. 4 in LA. "I'm very protective of Taylor Lautner, Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon. We can get on each other's nerves, but it's just like a family." British export Charlie Bewley, who plays Volturi vampire Demetri, crossed the pond to make his big-screen debut in New Moon -- and life will never be the same! "I haven't really absorbed the whole thing," he admitted during Life & Style's exclusive New Moon shoot. "But I'm working out a rapid autograph style now. It's coming along nicely."

L&S: You and Taylor both gained 30 pounds of muscle. Did you hold weight-lifting contests?

Chaske Spencer: We were all really competitive and supportive of one another. One time, I had the highest score on this rowing machine, and the next day I came in and Rob [Pattinson] had beaten me -- he worked out at night, and the wolves came in during the day. I beat him again, but on the last day of shooting, I came in and he'd beaten me by a second.

L&S: Do people ever ask you to take off your shirt?

Chaske Spencer: All the time! Just seeing myself shirtless on the posters makes me very self-conscious. When the Twilight saga's over, I'm not going to the gym for a while.

L&S: This is your first movie. What was it like working with veteran Dakota Fanning?

Charlie Bewley: She's wonderful. The most impressive thing is the way she works the camera with her eyes. Dakota has a wonderful stillness for a 15-yearold actress. It's something most people don't master in a lifetime.

L&S: Do girls swoon over your accent, or are they unable to understand you?

Charlie Bewley: It's a bit of both. I've never been asked out by an American woman, though. The one physical commonality my girlfriends have had is that they have disproportionately large heads. It's kind of weird.
