Rachelle Lefevre (cast as Victoria) recently appeared in two write-ups one for The Gazette and one for The National Post.  You can also read her Twilight Lexicon Interview here. 

And if Victoria is your girl, you must check out these hot new Lexicon T’s!  Evil Never Looked So Good

The Movie Fanatic has just posted their third part of their ongoing Twilight series.

Kristen Sterwart gives a shout out to Seventeen Magazine on set. 

Thanks for the heads up Christina.

Taylor Lautner (cast as Jacob Black) stars in new Cassie Thomson video.

Redlotusflower from deviant art has started a fun campaign for Twilight lovers world wide.  We thought it was cute and quirky and right up our alley!  Who knows maybe you will find you aren’t the only Twilight fan in your school!  So check it out. 

There is a page link for the official movie site floating around.  It is legitimate.  It is an unlinked, unfinished page.  The people who found it searched the parent directory of the website which would show them all the pages, linked or not.  As I said, its not a finished page, but I think you will find the page and background images to be lovely.

Thanks to Aileen for the heads up on this one.

*Edit: This question is being asked, so I will answer it here, it is not unusual for a website like this to own several domain names.  This helps to ward of other sites from buying up similiar popular domain names to feed off the popularity of a website.  Or worse, pose as the official one.  Also, the splash page is written in flash, this is a very complex programing language and it is completely likely they are using the alternate domain for the interior of the website.  This is the legitimate unfinished official movie site.

tMF has added a new part to the article on the fandom.  There are quotes from various influential Twilighters including our own Pel!!  tMF will post the complete interviews shortly so keep an eye out.

*Edit: Some of you have requested the link to the fanfiction mentioned by Pel in the interview.  It is Lion and the Lamb by Alphie.

The folks from YouTube twilightvinculum have put up some video footage of the Port Angels scene. There’s some interesting stunt driving seen in the distance.

EDIT: Because there have been questions. This footage was taken well behind the security perimeter, did not interfere with the filming process, no laws were broken by posting it. It meets our posting regulations.  At no time were any of the people standing in the distance asked by Summit (who knew they were there), or the Portland police to leave. No one was asked not to film, or post what they obtained on the Internet. People standing behind security perimeters are always allowed this leeway. If you are invited down close and personal, you are asked not to film because that is distracting to the actors, and the footage obtained that close is one any film company reserves for itself; however, this is not the case regarding this footage. The twilight Lexicon stands 100% behind our posting of this footage and the shooters.

Seventeen Magazine visited the set of Twilight last week.  The article talks about Prom, the scene they were shooting when they visted and there is a video tour of the set. Let them know you got the link here!

Many of you have noticed that some of your favorite Twilight sites have been having some problems lately. In many cases it comes down to bandwith, meaning the sites are so popular that they have exhausted the size of Internet they were contracted to have and now they need to movie to bigger digs. So a big welcome back to Twilighters, who just solved their bandwith issues! We understand this having burned through several server arrangements ourselves.

Sometimes, however, the problem isn’t bandwith, but hacking. I just got done talking with Kimmy on His Golden Eyes. They have been hacked and are working on the problem. Their tech person is out-of-town right now so there is only so much they can do. We’ve also seen similar problems on some of the actor based sites. So, if you are a Twilight fansite, or really any website for that matter, check your security settings! Make sure there is no back door for a hacker to get in.

We have some fabulous news regarding the Borders midnight release parties for Breaking Dawn. Borders will shortly be releasing the theme for their parties. In the meantime, they’d like to hear from you, the fans, about what you’d like to see at release parties.

Submit your ideas on this post and on the Release Party Plaza Forum. Borders staffers will be looking in both locations. Keep in mind that your ideas should be appropriate for a family friendly, retail environment. Borders can’t guarantee that all activity ideas will be used in every store, but they’d love to hear what the fans have to say. So, let’s hear what you think!

tMF has launched part two of the series this morning.  You all represent the Twilight Lexicon well!  Thank you for posting such well thought out analytical comments both here and on our messageboards.

Kelmet-Happens has a great  interview with Kellan Lutz.

How are you similar to/different from Emmett?
I AM EMMETT inside and out, which is why I am so fortunate to be able to portray him. Playing Emmett doesn’t feel like work at all its fun.

The TwilightMOMs have a new interview with Sarah Clarke.

KPTV has released some raw footage from the video shown earlier today.  There is some new stuff shown please be advised it would be considered a spoiler.
