Evening News

Let me start by saying that you are going to want to check the site again tonight. Hopefully there will be something really great up within two hours.   In the meantime…

EW  is interviewing Taylor and wants your questions. They also are running a feature about an alternate Twilight cast.

Blast Magazine covers the Evil Iguana Twilight spoofers.

Rob in the News

EW is about to sit down for an interview with Rob, and they want to know what to ask!  Here’s what Esther at EW had to say:

"We’re sitting down for a video Q&A with Rob Pattinson and we want YOUR questions. Ever wondered what the Brit listens to on his iPod? Whatever your query, we want to hear it! Leave your questions in the comments section (please include your city and state), then stay tuned to EW.com to watch our video Q&A with the Twilight star later this week, and see if yours made the cut. "

You can send your items to EW here.

The Movie Fanatic also has coverage questioning if it’s too early for Rob to be "the next big thing."

Rob this week is going to be very busy: 
Today he has the Apple Store in SoHo,
Tuesday is a call in on Z-100 radio in the morning, and  Planet Hollywood at 5:00
Thursday he’s off to MTV for a stint on TRL

Rob, do you get to sleep on Wednesday, or are you practicing at being a real vampire?
