MTV: What’s the biggest difference, in your personal opinion, between the three “Twilight” books currently being filmed as the “Saga”?
Nikki Reed: The biggest difference? Well, I know the similarities — it’s an ongoing love story. I guess the action increases and the excitement and visual stimulation. But I think “New Moon” really revolves around this intense love triangle, and with “Eclipse,” it’s more heightened.

Billboard Music Conference Wrap Up
October 30, 2009
Our friends Lauren, from Twilight Facebook, and Matt and Andrew, from Imprint/Twilight Source, attended Billboard’s Film and TV Music Festival. Here is their report:
“Some of music’s top film and television producers, supervisors and editors were out in full force for Billboard’s Film and TV Music Festival on Thursday, October 29th at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA. People from all corners of the industry were in attendance to cultivate and learn new information to apply to their careers, or even just to see what made these music supervisors so successful. Companies such as ABC/Disney showed off their impressive musical choices that have garnered them so much attention such as working with The Fray in Grey’s Anatomy and the ever popular show, Hannah Montana. However, the big buzz that surrounded this conference wasn’t because of a 16 year old girl with split personalities. That honor bestows upon this year’s hottest soundtrack and highly anticipated theatrical score for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
The Official Twilight Facebook page and Twilight Source were on hand to experience two panels devoted to a behind the scenes look into the making and popularity of the series’ soundtrack and instrumental score. The first discussion involved Alexandra Patsavas (Chop Shop Music), Livia Tortella ( Marketing, Atlantic Records) and Paul Katz ( Music Consultant, Summit Entertainment, LLC.) These “masterminds” behind the multi-million selling soundtrack to “Twilight” discussed how exactly they put together the newest ensemble of songs for the film’s sequel, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon…”

This just in from Shockhound:
“The tour kicks off with a massive shindig at LA’s Hollywood & Highland mall, featuring performances by Death Cab For Cutie, Band of Skulls, Sea Wolf andAnya Marina, as well as a Q&A session with some of the cast members. Musical performances and the Q&A session are open to the public; but if you want to get your Twilight goodies or various parts of your body signed by the cast members, you’ve got to go to the Hollywood & Highland Hot Topic at 8 AM on Saturday, October 31, where the purchase of a commemorative Twilight Saga: New Moon T-shirt will get you a non-transferable wristband that will guarantee your access to the November 6 signing.
The other dates on the tour will feature either Anya Marina or Hurricane Bells, as well as additional cast Q&A sessions and signings. Can we get an amen — or at least an OMG!?”

Cake Wrecks: Twilight Style
October 29, 2009
If you’ve never seen the Cake Wrecks site, it’s really a must view. It can be summed up by saying sometimes you need to put down the food dye and the creativity before someone gets hurt…or at least nauseated. Here is our favorite cake from the feature. Maybe the green icing was more appetizing in person?
See the whole entry on Cake Wrecks! TY to Crdt723 on Twitter for the heads up.
