Twilight Music News: Coldplay and Mutemath

June 14, 2009
  Here is an interesting tidbit found on the Coldplay website in the Oracle section:

Q. Dear all-knowing Oracle: I heard a rumor that The Scientist by Coldplay (obviously) was going to be on the New Moon soundtrack. Is this true?
Peace, luv,
Julie <3

The Oracle replies:It’s very likely that a Coldplay song will end up on the soundtrack to the Twilight sequel given that Stephenie Meyer has credited Coldplay, amongst others, on the inner sleeve for “being instrumental in staving off the writer’s block”.

Of course nothing has been officially stated but as a fan which Coldplay song, new or old, do you think best fits with New Moon???

Now from a potential artist on the New Moon soundtrack to a group who contributed to the Twilght soundtrack!

Joan Jett and Kristen Stewart Side By Side

EW finally has the shot we have all been waiting for, a side by side comparison of Kristen Stewart as as young Joan Jett and Joan herself.

So, what do you think, close enough?

Twilight Stars Kick the Habit

June 13, 2009

Ashley Greene ( after you get past the without foundation dating question, see below) lets the reporter from E! know that the Twilight cast is taking an important step.

Please note that apparently the E! reporter didn’t get the memo direct from Emma Watson’s manager who issued a statement to multiple newsoutlets that Emma never gave any interviews regarding Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s personal lives. In fact Rob and Emma haven’t spoken for years beyond a “hi how are you” at the BAFTA’s. Stories claiming that Emma did so are 100% without foundation, and Emma Watson’s management is considering pursuing action against the publication that initiated the rumor.

Who’s Hollywood’s Next Golden Boy

June 13, 2009

That’s the question that The Movie Fanatic is asking. Every generation has one. Leo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan, Michael Douglas, Harrsion Ford, Robert Redford have all had their moment of being Hollywood’s hot new face in their 20’s or early 30’s. So who is it going to be now?

“This time, we’re doing a poll for Hollywood’s Next Golden Boy – Who do you think fits the bill? Zac Efron, Shia LaBeouf, Emile Hirsch or Rob Pattinson?”

They have all been part of hits and each has new work on the horizon, so who is it going to be? Get over to TMF and vote!

Also add TMF to your Twitter. Site owner Jed gives some of the best coverage to the indie movie scene. He’s not a gossip rag, he covers what other sites only gloss over, and he makes connections that no one else does.

Don’t Forget Cheer and Baseball Throw Contests

June 13, 2009

We are running a series of contests along with the folks over at Twilight Fan Trips. As many of you know, this group has a variety of trips that they run in the Portland and Forks areas. This year they have an extra special event that benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They have several actors from the film participating in a baseball game.

So here is a rundown on the contests:

Throw the first ball for the Cast/Crew Vampire Baseball game!

Date of promotion: 5/28/09-6/28/09

Description:

Order your tickets from one of the two links below depending on what package you want (if you have already ordered tickets someone will be contacting you to ask what site you saw the event advertised on. Be sure and mention us and you’ll be entered.)

Day – http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0F0042ADDD425CFD?camefrom=CFC_PGEPARK_TWILIGHTLEXICON

VIP – http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0F0042ADE9D561C3?camefrom=CFC_PGEPARK_TWILIGHTLEXICON

The fansite (of course we are hoping that it is us) that has the most people who buy their tickets and note their fansite’s promotional code will have the opportunity to randomly select (from our ticket purchasers) the fan who will get to throw the first ball for the Cast/Crew Vampire Baseball game.

Vampire Baseball Cheer Promotion

Date: Organize and submit your cheer by 6/25/09. Do your cheer with your fans 7/4/09!

Description:

This is a fun promotion to have the Lexicon be a part of the event itself and to get fans get together and cheer at the stadium – showing their solidarity for the Lex!

Our site will be given 2 minutes during the Vampire Baseball event where we can do a customized cheer. So we figured the only way to have people from all over the place learn a cheer it would have to be something they could immediately be comfortable with. And then the light sparked. The Lexicon cheer will be to the tune of Take Me Out To The Ballgame. Be as creative as you want! Just rearrage the classic lyrics to include mentions of the Lex and Twilight. Fans attending the game can then belt out the Lex cheer. we’ll provide a discussion area in the forums so if people want to talk about dressing on theme, bringing support posters, whatever, they can get organized.

At the appointed time, the Lex fans fans get to do their cheer at the game! FanTrips.Travel will work with us to rope off areas for our fans to sit together during the game.

Best part is you don’t need to attend to participate in this contest. Whoever provides the winning lyrics will get the item of their choosing from the Lexicon Cafepress shop. Send the lyrics to [email protected]

June 12, 2009

Alphie and Pel are going to be on the panels at Creation Entertainment’s Twilight Tour in the following cities:

Atlanta, GA July10-12, 2009

Parsippany, NJ August 28-30, 2009

Chicago, IL October 2-4, 2009

Nashville, TN January 29-31, 2010

San Fransisco, CA February 12-14, 2010

Creation has been in the celebrity convention tour business for over 30 years. They have put on events in the the Twilight, Star Trek, Star Wars, Xena, and Stargate fandoms just to name a few.

Tickets start at $25.00 for a general admission day pass if purchased ahead of time. For that money you get a non-reserved seat in the rear of the theatre where all the guests appear as well as admittance to the vendors area. These tickets do not include autographs, photo ops, or parties which all can be purchased separately. For example a ticket to get an autograph with Kellan Lutz is an additional $20, and if you want a photo-op it’s $40. So, all-in-all for under $85 or as little as $25 you can have a pretty good experience if you can only go for a day.

Now of course you can really splurge and get The gold package which includes the following(quoted direct from the Creation site):

1) You get the VERY BEST reserved seating for daytime convention MAIN AUDITORIUM events, all THREE DAYS. See all our celebrities up close, great for photographers too! The MAIN AUDITORIUM is where we have star appearances, Q&A, contests, videos, special events, & more.

2) FREE in-person non-rushed autographs from TWILIGHT celebrities in attendance… You’ll get complimentary in-person autographs from all: AWESOME! You get ONE autograph per celebrity, and have the option to purchase more if offered for individual sale. Note: GOLD PACKAGES do not include PHOTO OPS, those must be purchased separately.

3) FREE ADMISSION to The VAMPIRE BALL Saturday Night… Fans from around the globe congregate in their finest vampire wear to raise the roof! Prizes for best costume and best dancers! Here’s the perfect way to meet and mingle with fellow fans and also you’ll get to personally meet some of our Twilight guests who will be attending the party. Our Vampire Court is introduced and special surprises are planned! A DJ is set, as is a Cash Bar, and this party is fine for all ages. Our celebrity guests attend and join in the fun. Come dressed to kill!

4) YOU ARE FIRST to get autographs for all our signings that are done row by row in the MAIN AUDITORIUM. We go row by row, you are in the first rows: you get the idea!

5) FREE ADMISSION to the FRIDAY NIGHT MUSICAL CONCERT
(performers vary each site).

6) GOLD PRE-REGISTRATION: you get to register FIRST during a special pre-registration block of time. While not a necessity, just a benefit, you can get your credentials early and you are set!

7) SPECIAL CODED WRISTBANDS: once you get your GOLD coded wristband this allows you immediate entrance for the entire three days so you don’t have to wait again.

Here’s where it get’s really good. Creation is giving the Lexicon a pair of Gold Tickets to give away to the tour stop in both Minneapolis, MN July 17-19, 2009 and Phoenix, AZ August 14-16,  2009. So you and a friend have a chance to be our lucky winners for a gold pass as described above in bold.
