The Origins of the Spider Monkey line.

One of the most quoted lines of the Twilight movie is the “Hold on tight spider monkey.”  delivered by Robert Pattinson  just before he and Kristen Stewart take off into the trees.  As die hard Twilight fans realize, that line was not in the book.  So, did screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg pen that particular piece of dialogue? The answer is “no”.

Catherine Hardwicke tells MTV,

“I woke up in the middle of the night. I thought, ‘They’re going to be climbing that tree, and they’re not going to have anything to say. It’s just going to be another scene of them looking into each other’s eyes.’ ”

Unfortunately, the Writers’ Strike had begun, and “Twilight” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg was no longer available to provide dialogue. “So I typed up, like, 10 ideas,” Hardwicke recalled. “And thought, “OK, maybe they could say this …’ “

Stephenie Meyer Deletes Her MySpace

Stephenie updated her website to include the following information (bolding and italics added by us):

“A quick fyi: I am taking down my bloated myspace page. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, and I really miss the early days when I could hang out with people online. Many of you are hilarious and insightful, and I wish it was easier for me to talk to everyone the way I used to.

With the myspace no longer in existence, I can now clearly state that—beside than this website—there is no other outlet where I communicate with people online. I do not have a facebook page, and I have never had one. I don’t do twitter. So if you’re communicating with someone online that you think is me, it’s not.

Hope you all are having a great summer so far! If you’re looking for some beach reading, you might try Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series if you haven’t already. My son finally finished book five yesterday so I could read it today. It was a fantastic end to a fantastic series. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Riordan!”

Kelly Clarkson Talks About Twilight

Kristen Stewart in Allure Magazine in November

Allure magazine has solved the mystery of just what Kristen was shooting on the Santa Monica Pier yesterday.

“Yesterday we had a photo shoot with New Moon star Kristen Stewart outside on the Santa Monica Pier—and if you think she looks freaking amazing in these pictures (no surprise, makeup artist Dick Page and hairstylist Serge Normant were on hand), wait until you see the real thing. Our photographs, shot by Michael Thompson, will be on Allure‘s November cover…”

TY to Kaila.

Tom Felton As Riley?

We’ve had a ton of Tweets and emails, not to mention a request to advertise an online petition, concerning actor Tom Felton.  Tom is mostly recognized for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. It seems that he’s a popular fan favorite, and somehow the online discussion went from “he’d be great in this part” to “he’s been cast in this part”.

The Tom Felton fansite, Feltbeats.com, that Tom regularly communicates with, has been similarly bombarded. So, they asked Tom, and this is what he had to say:

“I’ll be ready when they want me! Really, I’m only joking. I’m not really sure at this point; but you will be the first to know if I find out anything!”

Tom later Tweetedi keep getting asked if i’m being cast as Riley in Twilight! I’ll let you all know if so!!!”


Twilight Cast Signed Ottoman Up For Bid

Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, and Robert Pattinson signed an ottoman that was used as a celebrity seat at Vancouver’s Fashion Week. Their signatures joined those of other celebrities.

The Ottoman is now being auctioned off to raise money for the David Suzuki Foundation. The foundation is concerned with various environmental issues like global warming.

You can place your bid on Ebay. Currently the going price is $500 (Canadian Dollars)…and you have to be a Canadian to bid on it! So Canadians, you don’t have to worry about outside bidders!
