If any other news outlet other than Entertainment Weekly had published this, we would have laughed it off. EW rarely goes out on a limb. There sources are impeccable. So, what do you think, would you like to see Drew Barrymore direct Eclipse?

What is interesting is that when EW asked Summit and Drew Barrymore’s rep’s for a comment this is what they got, “Neither Summit nor Barrymore’s reps would comment for this story.”  It’s interesting that front Barrymore’s camp at least there wasn’t a flat out denial.  Interesting…very…very interesting.

This just in from the folks at Extra.

The “Be a Part of NEW MOON” contest will go live very soon. Entry details are forthcoming.  The contest will be for US/Canada residents.

IFC has a rundown on authors from Truman Capote to Dorothy Parker who have made cameo appearances in films. They start off the list with Stephenie Meyer’s cameo in Twilight in the diner scene.

So, do you like author cameos? If so, where would you like to see Stephenie pop up in New Moon?

Cheeky, AKA the Twi-Crack blogger, has stumbled on something. There’s a memo out from Production Weekley dated 2-12-09 attaching Dakota Fanning to the project.

Now here’s the thing were not saying Dakota won’t eventually be cast because that’s honestly our gut impression here based on a number of factors. However, we are not so sure this is 100% official yet:

1. It doesn’t make any sense for this confirmation not to have been picked up by Mark Malkin, Nikki Finke, and several others given that they all had the insider track. The Dakota Fanning story leaked like a sieve. It seems odd that they’d allow themselves to get upstaged by a two-week old production memo that lots of people had access to.
2. The cast list (other than Rob, Kristen, and Taylor who obviously have top billing in that order) are in alphabetical order. Dakota’s name got stuck in at the end. It seems weird that the format would not be consistent especially in Hollywood where name position is everything

Stay tuned, this could get interesting.

Lauren is back with her adventures with Pocket Edward. So, “Edward Cullen, you’ve won the girl and have millions of admirers. What are you going to do now?” You got it, Disney.

Well sort of…Randy compared Adam Lambert to Robert Pattinson of Twilight at about the 4:40 mark in the video below. Then Ryan followed up repeating what Randy said, and Adam mentioned being a fan of the books. So being AI fans ourselves this was our reaction:

Alphie: “I KNOW!  I just about died!!!!!  I said – two years ago, NO ONE knew what Twilight was.  Now freaking Randy Jackson is talking about it on AI.  How did that happen????”

Be My Escape: “I feel like the media in general feels the need to drop Twilight/Edward Cullen into everyday conversation so they can be cool.  It is very strange.”

Pel: “I don’t know about Rob, but hello Adam…Justin Chon just called and he wants his hair back.”

In case you missed it, here’s a recap of the performance and commentary.

Borders is prepping for their Twilight release party by creating their very own Twilight movie awards. You can print out your own award ballot from the Border’s Media site. There will be more details coming from Borders on why you’ll want to vote!

They have categories covering everything from the best OME (Oh My Edward) Moment, to Favorite Vampire, to the best baseball player.

This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what Borders has in store for fans. We were mega impressed when they gave a a few clues. Alas, no we can’t tell yet, and it’s killing us! But don’t worry, Borders is going to deliver a great experience.

It’s no secret that Solomon Trimble who played Sam Uley in the Twilight movie would like to reprise his role in the upcoming New Moon.

Since the Lexicon broke the story yesterday that Bronson Pelletier has been cast in presumably a Quiluete pack member role( see our comment to FearNet here ), lots of people have been wondering if Solomon will be getting a call to take part in the production.

Solomon’s interview is candid, funny, and down-to-earth. So Lexiconers, what’s your opinion? Do you want him back as Sam?

Also make sure you stop by FearNet and let them know what you think of to Bronson being cast.
