New Scene - From Entertainment Tonight!

Kirsten Prout Is Lucy!

From MTV Movies Blog:

Jasper's backstory just got a little bit easier to envision. The news broke last week that "Kyle XY" player Kirsten Prout joined the cast of "Eclipse," third movie in the "Twilight" series. She'll play Lucy, a vampire from Jasper Hale's (Jackson Rathbone) past who factors prominently into his coming to terms with joining the ranks of the undead.

**I was going to post this last week, but I couldn't remember who Lucy was. I even asked one of my co-workers and she couldn't remember either .... Thanks to MTV for giving me the answer. Looks like I need to read Eclipse again. Four times apparently wasn't enough. :-)**

Watch ET tonight!

This is a little late of a notice to our followers, but I still wanted to post it in case anyone happens upon this before tonight. Of course, we will be following up on this and posting as soon as possible. Thanks! This is the update I received on facebook today-
"Hey Twilighters! Just a reminder that the very first clip from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, "Jacob's Transformation" is airing on tonight on Entertainment Tonight ( check your local listings for time )."

'New Moon' Ticket-Buyer Survey

From MTV.com:

With "New Moon" about to rise in theaters nationwide, the state of Twilight Nation is entering a crucial transition period filled with questions: What percentage of the fanbase is still made up of old-school Stephenie Meyer fans? Is there faith in new director Chris Weitz? And can the sequel make more money in its opening weekend than last year's surprise blockbuster?

As Twilighters have flooded MovieFone.com, MovieTickets.com and Fandango.com to buy advance tickets for the first showings of the November 20 film, they've been leaving information about their constantly evolving thoughts on the franchise. Upon closer examination, they provide an illuminating snapshot into Twilight Nation — as if Edward himself had read their minds.

"Obviously, 'Twilight' had a huge following of book readers before the first movie was released," said Harry Medved, a spokesperson for Fandango, sharing the results of the movie-ticketing site's online survey exclusively with MTV News. "But these results might indicate that the first movie broadened the 'Twilight' following and expanded its audience — and that many moviegoers started reading the books after seeing the movie."

Indeed, the statistics indicate that that out of 2,500 recent "New Moon" ticket-buyers surveyed, an astounding 96 percent had read the novel — and 94 percent had read the entire series. But the tale gets even more interesting when you realize that 68 percent of the ticket-buyers weren't aware of the "Twilight" franchise until the first film was released in November 2008. So, in essence, only 32 percent of the fans who have bought "New Moon" tickets have been "Twilight" fans for longer than 12 months.

The next question on the survey (which would pop up after a fan purchased a "New Moon" ticket on Fandango) revolved around series newcomer Chris Weitz, who initially faced harsh criticism from the fanbase when he was chosen to replace "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke. Asked if they had faith the "Golden Compass" filmmaker would do a good job with "New Moon," 95 percent of Twilighters answered positively.

"This is a real turnaround story for Chris Weitz," Medved marveled. "Some avid 'Twilight' fans were skeptical when a man was hired to direct 'New Moon,' but ever since his presentation at this year's Comic-Con, the fans have been on his side, and they believe he can do justice to the story."

A big part of that turnaround, it would seem, is the commonly held belief among Twilighters that Weitz will do a better job with the action scenes than his predecessor would have. Indeed, 93 percent of all buyers had watched the "New Moon" trailers online, with 77 percent saying the action scenes were a main draw and 98 percent (!) saying the action glimpsed in "New Moon" looked better than "Twilight."

"The action appears to be a big draw for 'New Moon,' " Medved added, saying he expects more boyfriends and husbands to come along to the theater this year. "It may help expand its audience so that it's the ultimate date-night movie."



Last year's midnight showings made huge news — and huge money — and we can expect it to happen again next month. Fifty-three percent of Twilighters surveyed plan to see the first "New Moon" show at midnight; 26 percent will see it at a different time opening day; and 21 percent will see it during opening week or thereafter. Out of that crowd, 79 percent are making plans to bring three or more friends.

"The 'New Moon' sales continue to be strong — it's not just for the very first showtimes — and if the film delivers, you can expect heavy repeat viewings," Medved said. "It looks like the opening weekend may turn out to be a social event. You kinda have to be there."

Lastly, Fandango even has stats on the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob rivalry — and, well, it's not looking pretty for Taylor Lautner. Although "New Moon" will feature far more screen time for Jacob Black, only 17 percent of ticket-buyers said they'd choose him, while 83 percent are Team Edward.

"I'm personally bummed that Jacob doesn't get more respect from the fans," Medved laughed. "He's a nice guy, and he deserves better."

Meanwhile, sports-betting Web site Bookmaker.com has asked its odds-makers to determine how much "New Moon" will make in its opening weekend; 40 percent believe the film will take in somewhere between $66 million and $80 million. That total would put it on track to equal or exceed the receipts of the first film.

People's Special New Moon Issue - Out Today!!!

Calling all Twilighters!

In PEOPLE's special New Moon issue, which hits newsstands Friday, Robert Pattinson shares his baby photos, Taylor Lautner growls for fans and Kristen Stewart gets intense.

"Twilight is about first love; New Moon is about heartbreak," says the film's director Chris Weitz. "That requires the actors to go to some very dark places."

RELATED: Get your fix on the mortal (and immortal!) stars of Twilight

But who was the most intense on set? "Kristen may be the most serious actor I've ever encountered," Weitz reveals. "She took the job of portraying Bella's depression very seriously."

In the sequel, Bella (Stewart) turns to best bud Jacob (Lautner) after her vampire love Edward (Pattinson) flees Forks, Wash., in the hopes of giving her a normal life. But as Bella grapples with her not-so-platonic feelings for Jacob, he transforms into a werewolf.

"This is a severely emotional movie," Stewart says.

But it's not all about the drama. "It's a pretty hot movie," says Ashley Greene, who thinks Stewart and Lautner "have this undeniable chemistry."

"I get nervous trying to represent Team Jacob in the right way," Lautner admits. "This guy [Pattinson] is some pretty good competition."

"Fans ask me to growl for them, and I really don't enjoy doing that," the 17-year-old star says. "Please just wait for the movie." The supernatural romance unfolds on the big screen Nov. 20.

Access Hollywood: Behind the Scenes on Kristen's Allure Cover Shoot

So yes, you've seen the pictures, but we're (or shall I say Access Hollywood) also bringing you behind the scenes of this awesome photo shoot for Allure Magazine.
**Access Hollywood has a great behind the scenes look at Kristen Stewart as she was photographed for the cover of Allure’s November edition. Kristen talks about how much she loves what she does and her personal sense of style...


Kristen Stewart might walk the red carpet, sport couture gowns at movie premieres and do countless photo shoots – but "The Twilight Sag" star says she’s not a fan of Hollywood’s obsession with glamour.

"I go outside, and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, ‘What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush,'” the 19-year-old actress told Allure magazine in its November issue. "I’m like, ‘Don’t you get it? I’m not that girl! I never was that girl. It’s not like I was really clean-cut last year.'”
And while millions of “Twi-hards” would give anything to share the screen with Robert Pattinson, Kristen also revealed that she’s not impressed with the fame that comes along with starring in one of Hollywood’s hottest franchises.
“What people told me [when I signed on to ‘Twilight’] was that there would be a lot of fan girls, people who love the books,” she explained. “But people don’t tell you that as long as you’re living in Los Angeles, it’s a show every second of your day. It’s like the Kristen show. And it’s so boring!”
The notoriety that comes with playing “Twilight’s” Bella Swan might be a drag – but the actress thinks her character is a dream to play.
“You’re so very much with Bella. You’re so in her shoes that it’s a vicarious experience,” she told the mag. “It’s addictive.”
Kristen’s stellar portrayal of “Twilight’s” leading lady has lead to a following of legions of fans – who are known to hang on every word that leaves her mouth – something that has made the young actress apprehensive when it comes to interviews.
“I spend so much of my time guarding against sounding insincere about something that I would die for,” Kristen said. “Maybe I’m overcompensating…. I care so much. And it gets reported as the opposite.”

Interview With "The" Vampire

Ask Robert Pattinson how he's handling the global hysteria that now surrounds him and he says: "All right, I hope." Then he runs his hand through that tousled mop of his (a sign that he's anxious) and adds: "It's still sort of new."

It's almost 12 months since the first Twilight film was unleashed on the world. Twelve months since we clapped eyes on the sensitive, tortured and fiercely handsome vampire named Edward Cullen from Stephenie Meyer's massively popular novels. Twelve months since Pattinson, the 23-year-old British actor who plays the red-blooded teenage vamp, became an international heart-throb.

"To be honest, I still don't really understand what's going on," he says. "Like yesterday, I was having lunch down the road. We were in this place for a couple of hours and suddenly there was like 400 people outside on the street. It was just so nuts and it's like that all the time now."

"When the second one comes out, then I'll see how I am. Mostly I can ignore things to quite a big extent and kind of pretend they're not really happening," he says, sounding eerily calm.

"I just don't take any of it seriously. It's just a job and while it's a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can't get a date."

The real reason Pattinson is so calm is simple: "I'm not the lead in the second film. Taylor [Lautner] is." He grins idiotically. "I appear in Bella's dreams. So I'm in it but the focus is not on me. I just have significant moments at the beginning ... and the end. So I'm more of a supporting role in this one, which is why I felt so free. I didn't have to deal with any of the crap (edited) of the first one. I don't have to hold the movie or worry about the fans. I think I did it better without all those pressures."

Some New 'New Moon' Merchandise at Hot Topic

From MTV Hollywood Crush:

Thank you, Hot Topic, for giving us everything we never needed for "New Moon": an umbrella with Edwards face covering it, a t-shirt with Jacobs six pack to make up for our own lack thereof, split-moon friendship necklaces, and a shirt that makes us want to take out a restraining order (yes, we are referencing the t-shirt pictured).

All (kind of) joking aside, there is some stuff from Hot Topics new New Moon licensed gear collection that we find to be pretty interesting.

1. Bella's birthday dress

With Halloween just around the corner, what way to literally get in character than by wearing a much cheaper version (yes, even at $98 it's a steal with the original frock having been custom made by the "NM" costumer, according to Entertainment Weekly) of Bella's birthday dress? We love that the green taffeta dress with its accented black roses is subtle enough to be worn to a nice party, but a clear enough shout out to "New Moon" that all "Twilight" fans should get the connection. Just try some nice black ballet flats instead of KStew's Converse looks with this one. Trust us.

2. "New Moon" iPod/iPhone covers

Personally, I'd go with the Edward iPod Nano cover, but that's just for my preference of (good!) pictures of Robert Pattinson and my own affinity for the teenage sibling of the iPod. If RPattz isn't quite your style, you can snag an iPod cover of Jacob or the "New Moon" promotional poster. The different covers are available for various generations iPods and iPhones as well. Fortunately, this is some blatant "Twilight" paraphernalia that can be slipped off if you need to hide your deep love for Washington-based vampires, for whatever strange reason that may be.

3. Victoria's necklace

Like Bella's birthday dress, this pick is a prop replica of the necklace Rachelle Lefevre's Victoria wears in "New Moon." And, at $20, it also is a cheap addition to your Halloween costume ensemble if you're looking to dress up as a certain badass red-haired vampire. We love the subtle nature of this necklace as a part of the "Twilight" merch world. Unlike some other necklaces offered, it doesn't have "Twilight" or Edward or Bella asserted all over it. We're kinda hoping the rings hung on the necklace are souvenirs of Victoria's previous conquered vampires.

This just in. . .

These New Moon stills are great! Can you believe it's just a litle over a month before the movie finally arrives. It feels as though I've been waiting a decade for it.

Interview with Kellan

Via NMM

"Kellan Lutz recently gave an interview to TwilightParentsExaminer where he talked about fans, staying in shape, dealing with the paparazzi plus much much more!

On the paparazzi:

Everyone’s so loving and supporting- there’s no haters. There’s so many Twilight fans that have given me presents- gummy bears or chew toys for my dog. It’s so humbling; people wanting to have a picture with me or wanting me to sign something. It’s so endearing.

But when we’re here working 12, 14, 16 hour days, on our off days we just want to be a normal human being and go get a bite to eat or go play pool and be normal. We just want to get out of our hotel rooms or apartments, but we can’t, and that’s a tough thing. And we don’t always want to have to look our best. I just love dressing comfy to go out, but we can’t because there’s always photographers there.

The other day I was working out at the gym. Photographers were shooting from across the street through the windows of the gym to me working out. I couldn’t just work out and blow off some steam. So where does the privacy start and the publicity end? When is it enough?

On Rob and the paparazzi:

There’s no way I could be doing what I do now if I were Edward. Its such hard shoes to fill compared to the fans who fell in love with Bella and Edward in the book series because they ARE the book in a way, and then you add in Jacob. For every million fans we have, they have 10 times. It’s just a different world. And like hanging out with Rob, it’s tough to see what he has to go through. It’s really tough for him because you can’t put a price on your life, your freedom, your happiness, and it’s gonna go on for a couple of years. It’s tough when you can’t even leave your hotel room to go get a coffee.

So much for being a wolf! You may not agree with me on this one, but these pictures- as cool as they are, I find them slightly creepy. What's up the shovel?!? Does he really need that? I don't think he does. You can check out his other creepy pictures here (Los Angeles Confidential Mag).

Tinsel Korey as Emily Young in Full Make-up

This is the first picture of Tinsel Korey in full makeup as Sam Uley’s fianceé Emily Young in New Moon.

"Tinsel Korey did her very first convention yesterday. She looked a little nervous at first but soon got into the swing of things. It’s obvious that she got along great with the wolfpack guys. It sounded like they had a older sister and teenage brothers relationship with that great sibling combo where you love them to pieces, but then there are times when you shake you head and just say too much testosterone in one place.

She also talked about her new castmates Boo Boo Stewart and Julie Jones, saying that they fit in right away and that is was nice having another girl (Julie) around frequently.

Tinsel also saw the promotional shot (below under the cut because it’s a large photo, shot from the display photo on Tinsel’s Q&A box, they also had huge banners of the same shot as well as copies that you could have Tinsel autograph.) for the first time. She talked about how the make up took several hours to do but that the effect was worth it.

Tinsel also said that she like both directors. They had different styles, both of which were good. (Charlie Bewley also said the same thing, more on Charlie later.) Tinsel said that David Slade is really funny and has a great dry British humor and was not at all the scary horror movie person she had first imagined."

What an awesome make-up artist, right?!?

Not Twilight related, but still cool

Stephenie Meyer announced at the end of September that The Host will be made into a movie. Yes, I'm a little late at relaying the news, but thought I'd still share it with you. Better late, than never. :) And if you've never read The Host, I recommend it to all. It starts out a little slow, but if you stick with it, it gets soooo much better. Now, I wonder who will cast as the main roles. We'll just have to wait and see...Stephenie Meyer had this to say on her webpage:

"Hey guys, great news! The Host is on its way to the big screen:

Variety.com: "Twilight's Meyer..."

I'm so excited to be working with Nick Wechsler, and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz to bring The Host to a visual format. They've all been a dream to work with, so lovely and collaborative, and I feel like we're in a really good place to make a great movie together. And then to have Andrew Niccol writing and directing? Truly awesome. If you've never seen Gattaca, go watch it now. One of my favorite movies of all time. It's such a great example of character driven science fiction, which is ideal for The Host, no? I'm having an absolute blast imagining different dream casts, which I would post if people didn't take my silly blogs so seriously these days. I'm looking forward to seeing the cast lists you come up with in the fansite forums, and if any of them match mine.

So, very exciting. Yay Host!
