How is Taylor putting all that muscle? The answer is working out, as Edi Gathegi witnessed first hand, and a diet that is high in protein. It looks like steak is a favorite. We wonder if he likes it rare or well done.

Do you want to win your very own Bella and Edward dolls? All the details are here.

Anna Lynn McCord talks about her Heidi hopes to Extra. Look for an announcement coming soon. Usually they don’t speak so openly about these things unless it’s practically a done deal. It’s considered back karma otherwise. Anna’s got a new project coming out this month called Fired Up so if you want to see her in action check her out in it or in 90210.

Canada.com Here’s the audition experience of one New Moon hopeful who has made it on to the next round. It’s really impressive that he made it that far given the number of people that came to cattle call. In case you are wondering what a cattle call audition is, this article explains it pretty well. It is very typical at a cattle call for them to cut off lines early and not see everyone who lines up, it’s nothing personal, it’s the way the business runs.

Also, if we could be kind of whiny and nit picky for a moment the word is “cast” not “casted”.  If someone is talking about “not getting casted after trying out” in New Moon, what they really want to say is they “read for the part and were not cast”. So if you are sending us a news tip that supposedly quotes seasoned actors saying “I wasn’t casted”, we’re not running the article because it makes us wonder about credibility.

Ashley Greene waved hi to the Just Jared folks the other evening. Just Jared was the media outlet who did their homework and followed up on the Vanessa Hudgens rumor debunking it, though it took a couple of days for the rest of the media to catch on.

Waving hi to the Just Jared team who is apparently following this blog.

MTV has added Robert Pattinson to their list of Hollywood’s hottest who are dateless this Valentine’s Day. Despite recent news reports that everyone from Paris Hilton to Frances Bean Cobain would kill to be his date, apparently he’s dateless…or at least he has enough common sense to keep whoever she is under wraps!

In case you’re not exactly sure what we’re talking about, Julika explains it all here.

According to Rueters, it looks like Wallmart is entering the Twilight licensed merchandise feeding frenzy.
