and

“Edward cullen is very moody.”

So this brings us to our semi-monthly or so Twitter round up. Here’s the run down of who has a real Twitter and who doesn’t.

Here are a listing of the real Twitters
relating to the Twilight Saga

Updated as of 8/12/09

The Twitters supposedly run by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed are all fakes. Ways to tell: mislabeling of photos stating where & when the pics were taken, Tweeting while clearly performing , all created around the same date, claiming they are posting personal photos when in reality are actually recycled paparazzi shots, official sites of actors don’t list a Twitter, etc.

First Book: What Book Got You Hooked?

We first brought this incredible organization to everyone’s attention last year. They are a group that encourages reading and literacy.

They have several ongoing projects, but one happening right now is called What Book Got You Hooked?

According to the site:

“What Book Got You Hooked?” invites readers everywhere to celebrate unforgettable books from childhood and help provide new books to the children who need them most. First Book asks visitors to share the memory of the books that made them readers and then vote for the state to receive 50,000 new books from First Book, helping to get more kids hooked on reading.

Past winners include Oklahoma in 2007 and Kentucky in 2008, with each state receiving 50,000 new books for children in need.

Join us this year in sharing the joy of great books with kids who need them most.”

We’ve heard from so many people over the years that Twilight was the book that actually got them hooked on reading. No matter what that book is from Goodnight Moon to Harry Potter, something out there captured your imagination and made you want to read more. Please share your experiences over at What Book Got You Hooked and vote for teh state that you’d like to see get 50,000 books for needy children.

Alphie and Pel decided that the books that hooked them were the Anne of Greene Gables series for Alphie and the Little House on the Praire series for Pel.  And if by any chance Pel’s 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Jezniack is out there reading this, you gave all the girls in your 2nd grade class Little House in the Big Woods as a Christmas present in 1973. Pel still has her copy and wants to say thanks for turning me on to reading!

EW: New Moon Trailer Strategy

Entertainment Weekly has great article up about the trailer

“For years now, Hollywood has played a deft bait-and-switch game of announcing that the new trailer for an upcoming Must See Movie would play in front of another film from the same studio that, quite frankly, could maybe do with a box-office boost. So Summit Entertainment’s announcement today that it will put the brand spankin’ new preview for The Twilight Saga: New Moon in front of Summit flick Bandslam when it opens this weekend should shock nobody, especially considering just how crowded this coming weekend will be at the box-office…” Read the rest on EW

Twilight Wins 11 Teen Choice Awards

The Teen Choice Awards aired tonight and Twilight won 11 of the 12 awards it was nominated for!!! The only reason they didn’t go 12 for 12 was because Nikki and Ashley were nominated in the same category. Ashley and Taylor won the Fresh Face award while Kristen and Rob won for best actress/actor in a Drama. You can see a complete list of winners here.

We would like to give a shout out to Nikki who has always been a class act and incredibly kind to the fans!! We love you and that purse!

At the end of the show Josh Duhamel announced the various awards that Twilight won including Romantic Movie, Drama Movie and Lip lock(surprising? not so much) The entire cast came on stage to thank fans.

Ashley Greene Photo Controversy

MTV received a quote from Ashley Greene’s representatives regarding a story that broke late Monday afternoon. We are running the story now that the issue is officially being addressed by Ashley Greene’s representatives, and is no longer purely conjecture.

According to MTV:

“It looks like “Twilight” star Ashley Greene is the latest starlet caught up in a nude-photo scandal. After Perez Hilton posted naked pictures that appeared to be of Greene, her rep stepped in and released a statement.

“The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed,” her rep told MTV News in a statement Monday (August 10). “Our client intends to take legal action.”

Although the statement doesn’t confirm whether the photos are of Greene, they have since been taken off Perez Hilton’s Web site and replaced with the following statement: “The nude images have been removed from PerezHilton.com at the request of Greene’s attorneys.”

At the time the story broke, Ashley Greene was already in transit to the Eclipse set in Vancouver.  You can see the entire story on MTV.

The staff of the Lexicon wishes Ashley Greene well during what is obviously an emotional and trying time. We would ask that any comments do not link to the photos whose remnants are still online in that Ashley Greene’s reps have made quite clear that they will be taking legal action towards those who do post them.
