Site Update

site update We have a few additions to the site for you today.  First, we have added in the character bios for Huilen and Nahuel from Breaking Dawn.  Thanks to all of you who e-mailed us in the last few weeks to tell us these were missing.

We also have a few chapter summary updates for you.  We have just started with Book III of Breaking Dawn and are returning to Bella’s PoV of life as a vampire.  We start, as always, with the Preface to Book III. Make sure to head over to the message boards to answer the questions about the battle the preface mentions provided by the ever wonderful Una!

Chapter 19: Burning was summarized for us by Una as well.  She did double duty for us this time!  Hop over to the message boards for discussion on Bella’s transformation.

Last, but not least, Chapter 20: New was given to us by jenni_elyse.  Visit the message boards to talk about Bella’s first few moments as a vampire.

Also thanks to the folks at Intoxicating Scent for naming us their site of the month. Awe shucks, guys.

Nurse Jackie NYC Premiere Party

Peter Facinelli walked the carpet with Edi Falco and his other Nurse Jackie co-stars.  According to BuzzFocus there was some unplanned excitement:

“Zoey Brakow, Jackie’s nurse in training, rushed to the lower level of the party exclaiming, “I think someone is like having a heart attack.” At first, we didn’t know if this was real. But sure enough, in about twenty minutes, EMT’s came through the party carrying an elderly woman away. From all appearances she was fine as she gave the crowd the thumbs up, while being carried away.”

Peter Tweeted that he had a great time, and provided an interesting tidbit, “Here’s a fun trivia… Alan Coulter who is directing Rob Pattinson’s next movie, directed the pilot for Nurse Jackie…”

Peter also talked to People magazine at the same event where he clears up a rumor about his wife’s heart condition, and discussed his family’s summer plans, “We like taking road trips. There’s a Twilight baseball game on July 4th that I signed up to do. It’s a charity benefit. I think I might drive the RV up there to Portland.”

Remember Peter is on Chelsea Lately tonight and Nurse Jackie debuts on Showtime on the 8th.

Ashley Greene’s MTV Red Carpet Look

It doesn’t matter what red carpet she’s on, three things are guaranteed to happen when Ashley Greene is one one:

1. She is going to be on everyone’s best dressed list.

2. A large number of women there suddenly feel like they are wearing sack cloth and ashes.

3. The look will range from 1940’s glam retro to late 1960’s hip

At the MTV awards the make-up and hair were late 1940’s-early 1950’s that reminded us of a young Elizabeth Taylor. So if you want Ashley’s look, here’s how you can get it from Bellasugar.

Trailer Analysis

It seems like every media outlet on the planet has done a trailer analysis.  So we waited a few days to see which one we thought gave the best commentary, and was written by a person who knew both the books and the movie well. That really limited down the field.

So, the winner is Buddy TV! Who summarized using a hit or miss style.

Twilight, on the other hand, rocked my world. From earlier last week when I saw the first 14 seconds to today when I finished my fifteenth view of the trailer, I’ve been captivated in body and mind. Edward, Bella, Jacob and the rest of the characters in this wonderfully angst-ridden novel have come to life. When I start rereading New Moon (again) tonight, I know my imagination will take off from where this trailer started. I will love New Moon. No doubt.”

Check it out on Buddy TV.

Robert Pattinson in Interview Magazine

It sounds a bit redundant, but Robert Pattinson gave an interview to Interview magazine.

Rob’s co-stars and even Rob himself are always talking  about how Rob will blurt out random nonsense in an interview, Rob will just ramble on, or how Rob gives a comment that provides a classic WTF moment.

So it should come as no surprise that Rob’s off-beat humor comes through when has was asked to comment on his early days in London sharing a flat with best friend and fellow actor Tom Sturridge.

TY to Beth

Look for Peter to appear on the Chelsea Lately show June 3rd!

New Moon Trailer in HD

I’ve never been one of those big “see it in HD” or “have to get it on Blu-ray” kind of people.  Seriously, I even like scratchy vinyl recordings. However, I think I just gained an appreciation of what all the fuss is about. The difference in Hi-Def is amazing!

Michael Sheen to Be Honored By Queen

Michael Sheen is receiving a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire award, specifially an OBE which gives him the rank of officer.  The  Queen will be conferring this honor at Buckingham Palace.  Where Michael will be surrounded by family.

According to WalesOnline, it marks the first time Michael will meet the Queen. He received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in the The Queen. Michael commented, “This is a huge honour. I am both thrilled and slightly mystified. But very grateful. It’ll be nice to meet the real Queen at last.”

No need to worry that this honor will go to Michael’s head. His daughter, Lily is keeping him well grounded. She’s been referring to him in jest as Obi Wan Sheen.

Michael has been tweeting on his way into the ceremony. The Beefeaters have apparently not disarmed him of his cell phone as of yet. Check out all his great pictures and tweets here.

Chris Weitz At Italian Press Conference

Twilight Italia has edited the video they took at the Chris Weitz press interview in Italy. They have also been kind enough to supply an English article that explains the backstory.

“We’re very proud to show you, as a Twilight Italia.com exclusive, the video of the Press Conference which was held in Montepulciano last week, on May 25th, to officially communicate the start of the filming in Italy with the cast of New Moon. We were the only fan site allowed to be present to the Press Conference, thanks to our constant cooperation with Volterra in these latest months to support and help the initiatives of the Tuscan Town.”
