We’ve gotten a bunch of emails from people who pre-ordered the Twilight Blu-Ray DVD from Target and Best Buy and who have now gotten emails indicating that they won’t be receiving their Blu-Ray as intially anticipated. Before we get any more emails, we’ve sent an inquiry to our rep at Summit who is checking it out with the home entertainment division to find out exactly what is going on. As soon as we know, we’ll pass on the info.

UPDATE THIS JUST IN FROM SUMMIT: “Both ( emails sent to customers of Target and Best Buy stating the Blu-Ray won’t release until May) are errors. Best Buy and Target are sending communications to all of their customer service reps to let them know that 3/21 is still the street date. We expect that they will also e-mail customers who have pre-ordered the Blu-Ray so there is no confusion.”

TWILIGHT’S ASHLEY GREENE REVEALS SHE JUST READ THE SCRIPT FOR NEW MOON

And…“I like it better than the first one. I might be biased because I have a bigger part.”

Plus – Greene comments on the rumors 90210’s AnnaLynne McCord is joining the sequel – “AnnaLynne is actually a friend of mine… There are a lot of rumors, but that one holds a little bit of weight.”

(Los Angeles – February 23, 2009) – Only “Extra” joined Twilight’s Ashley Greene at Las Vegas’ Prive Nightclub inside Planet Hollywood as she celebrated her 22^nd birthday AND dished about this year’s most anticipated sequel, New Moon!

Greene exclaims, “I’m so excited. I finally, finally got the script….and it’s good. It’s really good….I’m really excited to work with Chris [Wentz, director]. I finally spoke to him the other day.” She adds, “I like it [script] better than the first one. I might be biased because I have a bigger part.”

As for 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord joining the cast, Greene responds, “AnnaLynne is actually a friend of mine, so I have heard about her being cast. There are a lot of rumors, but that one holds a little bit of weight…but I hope so. She’s a great girl.”

When asked how the success of Twilight has affected Greene, she says, “It’s nice for me because as Alice, a lot of people don’t recognize me because my hair is longer and everything’s a little different so it’s kind of slowly happening. Versus poor Rob [Pattinson] went from nobody knowing him to everything being documented.” Revealing the weirdest fan request she’s received, Greene says, “I finally got asked to bite someone at a convention.”

Although the paparazzi have yet to catch up with Greene, she admits, “I have no social life….Right now it’s my career…It’s very, very difficult to have a boyfriend.” As for what she looks for in that special someone, she reveals, “Someone that I can completely be myself around…Someone that gets along with my friends…if they don’t get along with my friends, that’s it [its done].”

New Moon hits theaters on November 20, 2009

“Extra’s” interview with Ashley Greene airs Tuesday, February 24^th.

EXTRA is produced by Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. For more information on the show, please visit “Extra” at www.extratv.com or AOL Keyword “Extra.”

Go to Charlie’s office, directly to Charlie’s office, do not pass the La Push Reservation, do not collect…Ok sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves. It was just our reaction to learn the latest in Twilight mass marketing is Twilight:the board game.  Alas the game pieces don’t sparkle in the sunlight. You can see them here in the i09 gallery, for a good laugh note the names of the items in the gallery by right clicking on them.

They also have a follow-up article where they cap his whole evening.

And they have another video where Rob, learns of the Eclipse release date from MTV. Ty to Emily for pointing out that we missed that one.

According to Show Biz Spy, one of Rob’s comments on the carpet was, “This is my last night of light. I go up to Canada soon [to shoot New Moon]. And my character goes 50 times darker then it did in the first movie.”

Nylon Magazine interviewed Kristen Stewart in their current issue.  She covers her new Joan Jett project as well as the Twilight experience.  Be warned the language of the interview isn’t PG-13. TY to Twi-Crack Addict for the heads up.

Footage from Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Twilight Convention is floating in. One thing is for sure, the cast isn’t exactly inhibited as this video of Mike Welch proves as he reenacts the diner scene. We’re not sure who was laughing harder, the audience or Christian Serratos who was two feet away holding the mic.

Then there were the fans being sweet and wishing Ashley Green, fresh from her Las Vegas birthday bash, a happy birthday.

Here’s how Rob was mentioned by the press in the events surrounding the Academy Awards:

From Reelz Channel: “Sitting behind Mickey Rourke is Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, who could not look more bored”

From Film.com: “4:17pm: Robert Pattinson survives Ryan’s onslaught. He evades a ton of Twilight questions and gets in one tiny mention of Little Ashes, his new Dali biopic. Evidently it’s due out in May. Stay tuned!”

From Sign-On San Diego: “Fan favorite (screaming decibels): “Zac! Zac! Zac!” Zac Efron, the young actor from “High School Musical.”

Runner-up: Robert Pattinson, the young “Twilight” vampire.”

From Entertainment Weekly: “Robert Pattinson on the Oscars compared to Twilight premieres: “It’s more organized. At Twilight premieres, you think you’re going to die.”

Rob and Amanda presented a retrospective look a romance movies of 2008 with Twilight and Amanda’s Momma Mia included in the montage. They did a pretty good job with some painful dialog about each of them finding true love despite their respective characters being a vampire and having three fathers.

Rob’s presentation was just fine even though he was nervous. He had previously told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, “I did a rehearsal and messed it up. I am probably going to be the letdown of the entire show.”

What sounded like a track from U2’s new album No Line on the Horizon Lovers In Japan by Coldplay underscored the segment. TY to Wendy for the correction!

Video footage by Pwned by Twilight.

Fortunately Rob’s infamous beanie stayed at home…or was on loan to Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Twilighters, which is run by the fabulous cousins Geo and Chris, was at the Salute to Twilight Convention. They snagged some great photos, including Kellan Lutz who seems to be taking a page out of the Robert Pattinson school of beanie fashion. 🙂 They’ve got over 100 photos in their gallery of the event so check it out. The Panama twilight site also grabbed photos from the Friday night appearance of Peter Facinelli, Billy Burke, and Mike Welch.
