Ever wonder what happened during a Twilight audition? Peter Facinelli talks about his process and how he didn’t get cast at first.

Ashley Greene after having her flight canceled; her luggage lost; and a two hour photo session that ran overtime; stopped by the Forks Prom at the Chicago Flashback Weekend to say hi to fans, and did an impromptu Q&A. How totally cool and and sweet is that!

This is also the first video on our new YouTube chanel that we are going to be totally decking out over the next month.  There will be lots of stuff to come stay tuned for more this week!

We promise film footage late tonight after we edit, but for now here are some pictures.

The Lexicon table being set up. You can see part of our nifty new look.

The fabulous Justin Chon.

The equally fabulous Peter Facinelli

We met some awesome Lexiconers pictured here at the prom. From left to right: Annie, Timika, Laura (Pel), Kari, Lori(Alphie) and Shelley (Somethingblue)

And even more awesome Lexiconers Ariana and Lauren

And then there was the Vampire Ball

Much, much more coming your way later!

Don’t forget the Lexicon’s Love Letters Contest deadline is Feb 10th.

 

NoMoreMarbles has an exciting contest going on where you can win a phone call from Michael Welch!!!

We’ll have pictures, video, the works. Just give us a few days to upload and edit. We had lots of fun, but we are dead tired.

Justin Chon:

• Has his own retail store
• He loves to surf
• He is in an upcoming movie with Harrison Ford called Crossing Over.
• Has a great smile, and is thrilled to talk to fans

Ashley Greene:

• Loves shopping just about as much as Alice does
• Most embarrassing moment on set was hitting a cameraman with a pitch…twice
• Had picked out Alice’s prom dress because originally the Cullens were at the prom
• Has a great, genuine bubbly personality, and was really sweet to all the fans

Peter Facinelli:

• Pronounces his last name the Italian way with the “C” sounding like a “CH”
• Sent Catherine Hardwicke a vampire book after his audition as a thank you even though he originally didn’t get the part
• He has read all four Saga novels and so has Jennie Garth, and they are big fans.
• He is every bit as dazzling (not to mention completely gracious) in real-life as Edward is in the books, not that we were having trouble concentrating or holding on to the power of speech or anything.

Greetings from the Flashback Weekend Twilight Conference in Chicago,
Illinois, where Lori, Laura, and Shelley are representing the Lexicon. So
far, we’ve hobnobbed with the stars, attended the vampire prom, met lots of
new friends and reunited with many friendly faces – needless to say, the
conference is a huge success. This conference is the first of several, which
will take place prior to the release of New Moon this coming Fall.

Thanks to all that have come out. We’ll be posting a full recap and photos
early next week.

Speaking of exciting news…

We wanted to let you know about some exciting new developments planned for
the Lexicon in the coming weeks.

As you’ve likely already noticed, some changes are brewing here at the Lex.
In fact, we are undertaking some significant site updates to enhance content
and functionality, making it easier for you to use.

Along with an updated structure and improved boards and blog, we will be
launching an innovative new look for the site. Over the last couple of
months, we have engaged a professional design and programming team to
develop this new look and structure, and we are thrilled with the progress
we’ve seen thus far.

So, be on the lookout for these exciting changes. We know you’re going to
love them.

Check out Extra’s Raw Interview footage with Jackson Rathbone. 

(Los Angeles – February 6, 2009) – “Extra’s” Terri Seymour went one-on-one with Twilight star Jackson Rathbone on the set of Criminal Minds as he filmed his guest appearance on the hit TV show. The revealing interview was LIVE via KYTE on Extratv.com and almost 800 fans submitted their questions to the star! From New Moon secrets to details about his next movie with Slumdog star, Rathbone revealed all! Plus, is the Twilight hearthrob single?!

 

Rathbone revealed, “I do not have a girlfriend. I’m single at the moment. I don’t really have time.”  He continued, “Usually I’m attracted to girls who are probably a little too headstrong…I like girls that are a little crazy, I have to admit….I get set up by friends and my manager sets me up on dates a lot.”

 

As for his on-screen love interest, Rathbone blushes, “I love working with Ashley Green. It’s the easiest thing in the world to have chemistry with that girl…What can I say, I have a little crush.”

 

Rathbone is set to film a movie with Dev Patel and he couldn’t be happier. “I have not met Dev yet..I heard amazing things about Slumdog Millionaire. I can’t wait to see the film myself and I just hear that Dev is an incredible actor and I just can’t wait,” Rathbone declared.

 

Rathbone revealed details about New Moon saying, “We have a new director [Chris Weitz]. We’re going to be filming in a new location. I think we have a lot more action and a lot more steamy love affairs.”

 

As for the rumors Dakota Fanning is joining the New Moon cast, Rathbone commented, “I’ve heard rumors she might be. I’m pretty sure there’s an offer on the table. They’re doing negotiations right now…We would love to have her be a part of it…She would be an amazing addition.”

 

Since Twilight has become a phenomenon, Rathbone admits, “I get a lot more attention.  A lot more work out of it which is just wonderful…In my personal life, it’s pretty much the exact same.”

 

Twilight has been nominated for Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards.

“And it’s shaping up to be a battle of vampires vs. wizards when the Twilight series and Harry Potter series compete for Favorite Book.”
