Stephenie was interviewed yesterday before her signing at Thanksgiving Point. In the first video she talks about The Host and the Twilight series. In the second video they covered the fan reaction. Among those interviewed was our very own Alphie.  The station is supposedly airing more footage on the 9:00 broadcast tonight.  Thanks to Dano for screaming from the computer to say it’s online (I’m staying at Dano’s house and then I posted it.)

EDITED: They added an additional video to the late new line-up that includes coverage of the Twilight movie. You can also see Salt Lake City Lexiconers in front of their banner made by Nena Cullen. TY to Alice Witlock.

Stand by for more footage coming soon!  (a soon as I upload it to YouTube).

Alphie and Pel have sent us a sneak peak at the Q&A from yesterdays signing  Please note that if you have not read the Host the first question is a SPOILER!

Q&A highlights from yesterday with full report and video to come:
 
Would Stephenie write The Host outtakes?  "Yes, she might write one covering Mel and Jared reuniting after Wanda is removed"
 
How does she feel about the movie? "Amazingly talented actors and Catherine Hardwicke is a genius."
 
What is in her writing future? " She’s going to do her tour with Breaking Dawn and then in 2009 she is taking a year off. She’ll still write but she’s not sure what yet. She needs a break. She not sure if she’ll write sequels to the Host. She has it outlined as a trilogy. She has the prologue and epilogue written of the second and third books, but she is not decided yet.  As for her Twilight characters Breaking Dawn is definitely the end of Bella’s story arc and the last book Bella will narrate. She may however revisit the Twilight Universe in the future, just not right away.

So check back in for more updates.  Alphie is attending a second signing today and she is armed with video cameras to capture all the exciting action.

Stephenie was on Good Things Utah yesterday.  She talks about the movie, Twilight, and future books.  There is an article as well as a video on the right hand side. 

"Is this truly the final book?" asked Good Things Utah host, Nicea DeGering.  To which Meyer answered, "It is the final book from Bella’s perspective."

Stayed tuned for more from Utah including an update from Alphie and Pel on all their incredible adventures!!

As we mentioned yesturday Stephenie Meyer appeared on KUTV.  Watch it here and read the article here.

Outside the studio windows (Good Morning America style) were Alphie and Pel toting shirts and signs with many many other fans of all ages in support of our favorite author!

We want to send our congratulations off to Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) who’s reoccurring role ended this week on Boston Legal.  You can see Rachelle this May in the film Fugitive Pieces.  (Please note this film is rated R.)   She is an amazing talent and we wish her all the best in her career.  To read our interview with Rachelle click here.

Also the amazingly talented December from our message boards has unearthed a hysterical interview with Robert Pattinson early on in his career.  It’s a wonderful read and gives you a glimpse into the humor behind those garish good looks.

Pattinson’s role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has been garnering standout notices, although he bridles, with endearing embarrassment, at the label ‘heart-throb’. ‘I read the Variety review and their only comment was "rangy". I thought it meant from the range, like a cowboy. But it just means tall and lanky.’

The Official Twilight Youtube Channel has added the Teaser trailer to its video log.  Be sure to subscribe to that channel to get the latest updates.  We are getting many reports that the Twilight teaser trailer is poping up on movies all over the country.  So you may be in for a treat the next time you head off to the box office.

Our beloved Mike/Mike Updated his blog on myspace.  And so did Christian Serratos (Angela), keep checking back to Christian’s page for photos she took behind the scenes during filming!

Topping off the Wall Street Journal’s best seller list this morning is none other then The Host!
