What do you could the Wonder Twins be the next big Super Hero team??
Peter also gave an interview to Celebuzz about the project.
“From Green Lantern to Captain America, the movie theaters were swarmed with superhero movies this summer, which led to this hilarious spoof titled Super Hero Auditions directed by Twilight star Peter Facinelli and put together by College Humor and Facinelli Films.
As Peter explained to Celebuzz, the sketch has comic book characters auditioning to be the next big thing on the big screen, though these “heroes” may not be blockbuster material. From Mimi Rogers as the Bionic Woman to Chris Masterson as the Whizzer to Brittany Snow as a Powerpuff girl, the sketch boasts a slew of Peter’s famous friends playing comic book characters in full costume.”

Taylor Lautner Talks With E! About Abduction and Breaking Dawn
According to Marc Malken at E! “f you think Taylor Lautner’s next movie, Abduction, is just an action flick, think again.
There’s romance, people.
“I call it an action-drama-thriller-romance,” the Twilight star told me yesterday at MTV’s VMAs. “It’s got everything.”
Including getting up close and personal with his leading lady, Lily Collins.
“There is an intense steamy scene,” Lautner said.
But naked they are not. “Not quite,” he said. “But it does get steamy.”
Jackson Rathbone Flying on Zipline For Fundraiser
According to the Las Vegas Sun, “Jackson Rathbone, Jasper in the Twilight films, helped raise money for the Fender Music Foundation and a grant for music programs here in Las Vegas over the weekend at the zip-line attraction Flightlinez downtown. Jackson zip-lined through Fremont Street Experience for charity and then joined his band 100 Monkeys for a free performance for fans. These guys are really the best, as you can tell from my recent interview with them before a performance at the Cosmopolitan. The event raised $15,000.”

Good Luck Andrew Sims With Hypable
We’ve always been really candid about the fact that we are big Harry Potter fans around here. Lori and Laura used to have a small Harry Potter website devoted to Remus Lupin. When it came time to make the Twilight Lexicon we looked to what we considered to be the best of the Harry Potter sites to model the Lexicon on. Very specifically, those sites were the Harry Potter Lexicon, The Leaky Caldron, and last but not least Mugglenet.
Much of the style of news coverage that we do on the Lexicon was directly based on what we saw Mugglenet do. We learned blogging etiquette from them on how much to quote, and that you should link to the source for more info. We stayed out of casting frays because we watched Mugglenet successfully avoid the “Ewan McGregor should have been Lupin” debacle. We modeled our actor Q & A style and red carpet coverage from what they did. Even our podcasting (back when we did it) was based on what they did. If Mugglenet started to use a piece of technology, we checked it out.
When Andrew started his Twilight site Imprint Podcast/Twilight Source 3 years ago, we totally geeked out when he contacted us. We have done a couple of live Podcasts with the site that were largely organized by Andrew and Kallie from Twilight Series Theories. The photo below is of a New Moon Premiere live event that had over 100,000 folks on Facebook alone watching.
For the most part, the “face of Mugglenet and Twilight Source” as it pertained to the items above was Andrew Sims. Today, Andrew posted on Mugglenet that after seven years he is leaving to pursue full-time his new website named Hypable (it’s only been around a couple of months and already it’s making quite a splash). Hypable covers a variety of fandoms from Games of Thrones, to Glee, to Doctor Who, to Vampire Diaries, to American Idol…you name it. It’s different because the staff covering the fandoms are fans of what they cover. So it’s only the best stories with no recycled rehash so check it out. We want to wish Andrew the best of luck and thank him for what he’s done for fandom in general.
