Head over and give him your thoughts. 

If you have missed any of the Twilight Tuesdays thus far, you can see them all listed on MTV’s Twilight News page.

Also here are some of the intrepid fans who tried to get up close, but due to the security changing from the fire, crowd shots didn’t happen. TY to Caitlin and friends.

Edit:  Kim Stolz added a picture to her MTV Movie Awards blog of her interviewing R. Spunk.

Lately we’ve been getting a ton of emails asking us to advertise various e-petitions. We’ve had people request everything from asking people to sign a petition asking for Twilight to be released on a certain date overseas to supporting an actress’ PETA alliance.

Aside from the fact that if we advertised every Twilight related cause we’d be posting nothing but petitions, there’s actually a better reason why at the Lexicon we don’t advertise e-petitions ever.   It’s not that we are trying to be mean, it’s that they don’t work. It’s too easy to fake signatures, and the people to whom they are sent regularly discard them for that very reason.  In fact, oftentimes the only person an e-petition helps is the owner of the e-petition site. You can read about it more here on Snopes, the urban legend site, the hands-down best place on the Internet for determining if something is Internet myth, hoax, or truth.

I know it’s hard to believe in this electronic age, but if you want to make an impact, and get people to notice you have to do it the good old-fashioned way: letter writing or a "stunt" that something concrete shows up.  Some recent examples of this would be fans of Jericho saving the show for an extra season by sending the producers bags of peanuts (a take off on a popular character’s line), or socks…lots of socks, sent to Mike Welch. 

Bloomberg.com has an article on the state of the publishing industry.  They mention Stephenie and Christopher Paolini as much anticipated authors this year. In general they cite how there are some rough times in the publishing industry.

Novel Novice, run by a teacher inspiring her students to read and proving that books are not dead, is counting down their top Twilight sites.  Today’s featured site is Twilight Theories.

And there are a few more Rob and Kristen pics added to the MTV photo gallery.

Edit: Robert is included in this blog about the after party.

As many of you know there was a large fire on the Universal Lot yesterday.  Thankfully no one was hurt and the MTV Movie awards were able to continue with minor exterior staging adjustments.  Some of which included the closing of surrounding shops and restaurants and increased security.  

But there were some amazing Twilighters who braved the heat and smoke to ventured down to the MTV Movie awards red carpet that afternoon!  With the fire still smoldering, security on high, and barricades repositioned they were unable to get close to the red carpet.  And our favorite MTV blogger was unable to get to them, to see their signs and T-shirts.  Unfortunately things like this happen when disasters such as this disrupt a planned event.

But we salute their devotion and the time they took to make some wonderful signs and show their love of this great series!  We look forward to seeing pictures of their adventure soon! 
 
Lets hear it for these awesome Cali Twilight fans and our favorite MTV Blogger who both braved the elements, traffic, lack of water, and food but were never able to connect!

They are true Twilight fans!  You guys ROCK!!!
