 There is no Philippines’ version of Twilight headed for TV.  It was in fact a hoax that totally duped a celeb blogger and several sites.

As hoaxes go, it was a good one. It was timed right before the Christmas holiday making it completely impossible to verify with official sources, who when they get around to reading our email inquiry are going to think that someone spiked our eggnog.

Fortunately someone in the Philippines checked with the management of the station supposedly airing the show and got this reply, "Save the effort and hate words, guys! Buzzbox clarified with ABS-CBN Corporate Communication Head Bong Osorio and after checking with ABS-CBN Television Head Cory Vidanes categorically stated: “There is no plan for ABS-CBN to remake ‘Twilight.’” 

Were you disappointed when the life sized Robert Pattinson cut-out wasn’t under your tree? Have you been dying to run your hands through Rob’s hair? Better yet, have you felt an urge to rid him of a certain beret, and pick out his clothes before he finds himself in a fashion emergency intervention?

Well, until Rob ends up in your possession, we have found the next best thing. He can be trendy, to grunge, to GQ, to…well…you get the idea. 🙂

Well of course we all think Stephenie Meyer and her books are fascinating, now The Arizona Republic agrees!

Stephenie is not just topping the English language book lists around the world. The Spanish versions of the Twilight Saga books are topping the lists in Mexico.

The New Moon Movie has made Fandango’s Most Anticipated Blockbusters of 2009 list. The best part is that the lists are done by both male and female readers and BOTH sexes are looking forward to New Moon next year.

Think it’s a sure thing that a popular book will be made into a movie?  Odds are it will take years if it ever happens. Reading this story in the Boston Globe lets us know just how lucky it was that Twilight made it to film.

The Singapore Twilight fans have hit the news there again as the movie continues to dominate overseas.

Box Office Mojo Depending on your source the tallies are a little different, but Twilight has secured itself a position in the top 10 selling films in 2008. Right now it is neck-in-neck with the James Bond film for the 8 and 9 position. No matter where Twilight ultimately lands, that’s quite an accomplishment.

Speaking of overseas news, yes we’ve seen the rumor regarding the making of Twilight into a TV series in the Philippines. We thought it was a little odd that the news broke Christmas Eve making it completely impossible to verify through official channels. Now it seems the one news source initially reporting it has removed the story entirely.  So, until we can check it out when people are back from Christmas vacation next week, we don’t have an answer. As soon as we know something official, you’ll know something official.

On behalf of the entire staff of the Twilight Lexicon, we wish all our readers Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

Two years ago before everyone knew about Twilight, Stephenie wrote an article for Ensign Magazine about the spirit of Christmas. We thought it might be a great time to share it with readers who have never heard of it, and to share it again with those who have.
