Twilight Singapore With Tokyo Press Conference Video

Twilight Singapore has now uploaded their coverage of the Official Press Conference of the Japan release tour. For those of you keeping track, this would be the first event where the cast was indoors, nice and dry, and Kristen wore the black leather minidress and the 4 inch heels.  Twilight Singapore’s coverage is great because as officially invited press they were in an elevated area so their camera angle isn’t broken up by heads and bumping elbows. The other great thing here is that there were decent questions getting asked, and the actors had a chance to say something meaningful each time. Hat’s off to Twilight Singapore’s awesome coverage!

In this first video they greet the audience, talk about Stephenie’s involvement in the film,

In this next segment. Rob talks about Twilight and Harry Potter connections. Twilight Singapore gets to ask their question about actor preparations (nice question guys!)

In video number three someone asks what is the appeal is it vampires?

Finally wrapping up with video four with the photo call.

Two Better Questions Than “Why Not Oregon?”

A lot of sites are linking to this article stating that initially Oregon was disappointed that the next two Twilight films weren’t going to be shot in Oregon. Basically it came down to two factors:

  1. Money: given the economy it’s way cheaper to shoot in Canada which incidentally is closer to Forks than was Portland.
  2. It seems this upcoming Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraiser movie ate up the majority of the state’s experienced film industry labor…which spins you back to that money thing again if they would have to import out-of-state crew.

OK, now for the fun part. Let’s see who knows the books and who’s up on upcoming events. Here are our two better questions:

1. Why does it make sense to shoot Eclipse right after New Moon?  Hint: timing is everything

2. Why would it be chaotic to be filming in Vancouver next winter?  Hint: think 5 rings (and we don’t mean the ones the 6 geese a laying left behind)

Bella Cullen Project Gets a Visitor

So imagine you’re a member of the Bella Cullen Project and in the middle of your song about a puppy dog human who’s getting no where fast with Bella you get a surprise visitor.

Subscriber Wars

So there’s this friendly feud going on between Bailey (No More Marbles) and Kaleb (The Twilight Guy) as to who can get more people to sign up for their respective YouTube Channels. Kaleb just upped the ante. Where is the Lexicon in all of this…Switzerland, seriously, no way we are stupid enough to get in the middle of this. We love ya both guys!

Here’s Bailey’s video that sparked “the war”

And now Kaleb fires back. Oh, and the video below is worth watching just to hear Kaleb say “pwned” like 50 times.

Twilight Singapore Explains It All: The Japan Tour

In case you were wondering like we were why Kristen Stewart kept changing her clothes in the Japan footage (Black leather mini-dress with sky-high heels, sweeping Grecian inspired gown, tee shirt and jeans with a reappearance of the killer heels) Twilight Singapore has the answer. She attended three separate events. Even though the Rob and Taylor stayed in the same suit  (How unfair is it that guys can do that !).

Okay, here’s the deal with Twilight’s Japan Red Carpet Premiere Event on the 27th of February. It’s a 3 part event that takes place concurrently – the Press Conference, the Red Carpet walk and the Fan Meeting…Robert, Kristen and Taylor – they were whisked off somewhere in the building each time and had to make a grand entrance at every event. I guess it just how things were done, and actually it made a great effect cos the audience were always different…”

Once again these girls managed more so than mainstream media to capture the real unstaged look of the actors. The other day they manged to get that cute “I tried” smile from Kristen when she gave a greeting in Japanese to the fans (translated as ,” I am very happy to come to Tokyo.”).  Today they captured her when the wind kicked up. Keep in mind it was freezing, literally 32F, on the red carpet and then the damp breeze hit her. See their whole gallery and write-up about the red carpet here.

Adam Lambert Talks Twilight Again

According to Access Hollywood, American Idol contestant Adam Lambert loved Randy’s Twilight analogy of the other day,

“Maybe I’ll be in a movie, let me just put that out there,” he said. “I follow the ‘Twilight’ books and I love them.”

Given that Adam is already getting MTV coverage, can it be long before Larry Carrol is knocking at his door for a Twilight angle?

So, we’re curious, because we’re sure that there are a lot of AI fans and Twilight fans out there. How many of you loved Adam’s satisfaction the other night, and if you did, did you vote for Adam? Did the Twilight reference influence you in any way?

Kellan Lutz Auction For Charity

How would you like to have something Kellan wore on his head. No, he didn’t borrow Rob’s beanie. Kellan wore a construction helmet to show support for Habitat for Humanity. After that he autographed it and put an adorable teddy bear on it!

According to the site where you can bid on the helmet:

“Own the Habitat for Humanity hardhat autographed by Kellan Lutz. Mr. Lutz (Twilight) signed the hat to support Habitat’s mission of providing safe and decent housing for all.

Proceeds from the auction benefit families served by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles through the Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity program.

Winner will receive a Certificate of Authenticity from Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity.”

TY to Nadine from Kellanlutzonline for making us aware of Kellan’s efforts to support this worthy cause.

Eclipse gets a Director, Maybe

According to Acting411.blogspot.com Eclipse will be directed by Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz’s brother.

There have been rumors circulating that Drew Barrymore will be directing the third installment of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series. These rumors are false. Due to the New Moon post-production schedule for director Chris Weitz, his brother and co-owner of “Depth of Field Productions” – Paul Weitz – will be directing Eclipse.

We have no way of verifying this information until Monday and no other major news source is reporting this information.  It could very well be just another of the many rumors floating around New Moon.

Extra Bombarded By Questions

The only  thing that’s mystifying us is why Extra is surprised that they were bombarded by questions from Twilight fans. Did they suddenly forget the red carpet premiere, the Hot Topic Tour, and need I say Comic Con?

Here’s some early coverage of the fan questions. The cast is slated to give their answers next week.

Extra is also running a story about how to get Kristen Stewart’s signature Tokyo premiere look.
