Taylor Lautner to Play Celebrity Beach Bowl
TY to Amanda from TwiExaminer for the heads up!
We’ve seen Taylor’s football playing ability on Jay Leno when he threw around the football with one of his all time heroes, the legendary Jerry Rice. Taylor back in his Valencia high schools days in uniform (there used to be a clip on YouTube, darned if I can find it now).
Well, now Taylor Lautner is Celebrity Beach Bowl bound!
Tinsel Korey on Arbor Live
According to the press release from Arbor Live:
“Tinsel Korey left her vampire and werewolf friends behind for one night so that she could let her songstress within out.
Arbor Live, a comedy and music show that features the hottest emerging talent from around the globe, invited Korey to perform two songs on the show while the crew was on location in Los Angeles. The episode was filmed on Jan. 15th and the previews of Korey’s stirring performances of her self-penned songs, “Rainy City” and “Letter”, hit the internet over the weekend and stirred up a lot of excitement among Twilight Saga fans worldwide.
“I’m so glad I got to be a part of Arbor Live and jam with Stevie Salas and Marcos Curiel (POD) on my song,” said Korey. “It was such an amazing experience. Working with Stevie is always a lot of fun!”
Korey, who plays Emily in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, has been performing since she was a child, recording songs for her grandfather and writing her own heartfelt compositions. She was very honoured to be a part of the 2008 National Aboriginal Achievement Awards, where she got to share the stage with Arbor Records recording artist Derek Miller, Jason Burnstick, and Jana just to name a few. Korey’s debut album is set for a 2010 release.
Brandon Friesen, producer of Arbor Live as well as a Grammy nominated, multi-Juno Award (Canada’s Grammy awards) winning music producer, raved about Korey’s performance. “Tinsel is a fabulous talent and we really enjoyed having her on our L.A, set,” said Friesen. “We’re thankful to all our great friends that showed up to our four day shoot and contributed their talents including Marcos Cureil, Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Mother Mother, State Radio, Fishbone, Bernard Fowler, Bastard Fairies, Thomas Nicholas Band (American Pie) and many others. Our second season of Arbor Live is definitely one that you will not want to miss.”
Tinsel full performances will air on the second season of Arbor Live, which premieres September 2010. Arbor Live airs every Saturday and Sunday night on APTN (check local listings for time) and is distributed by Tricon. ”
Tinsel has also been working with Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene on the Teens for Jeans campaign’s Haiti Relief efforts.

Rachelle Lefevre To The Rescue
We’ve all known what a great animal lover Rachelle is. She and her dog, Honey(seen left), were in several publications promoting responsible pet ownership and keeping you pet healthy. Sadly, Rachelle’s Honey passed away just before Christmas. Rachelle, according to People magazine, isn’t forgetting about Honey, but is moving on:
“Rachelle Lefevre is not one to break New Year’s resolutions. Just three days after a Dec. 30 Tweet announcing that she planned to adopt a dog, the Twilight star and actor-boyfriend Jamie Thomas King went to Baldwin Park, a Los Angeles-area high-kill shelter, and rescued not one but two pups! “They were both on the ‘at risk’ list,” Lefevre tells PEOPLEPets.com. “If no one rescued them within the week they were going to be put down.” In an instant, cocker spaniel Momma Bear and miniature poodle Jack Sprat were given a second chance at life”
And The Winner Is Interviews Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick talks to the And The Winner Is blog about Twilight, her early career,, Up In the Air and where she sees herself in the future.
“At the moment, Kendrick is as much an “It” girl as anyone. She recently starred in Catherine Hardwicke’s “Twilight” and Chris Weitz’s “New Moon,” both among the biggest box-office hits of all-time; her next role will be in another likely blockbuster, Edgar Wright’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”; and, in the meantime, she’s been tirelessly working the awards circuit for “Up in the Air” and garnering accolades from seemingly every group out there — she’s already snagged best supporting actress nominations from the HFPA, SAG, BAFTA, BFCA, and OFCS, as well as a best supporting actress title from the NBR. In all likelihood, a best supporting actress Oscar nod is just around the corner, which would would make her one of the category’s youngest nominees — and potentially its seventh youngest winner — in history.”
There are extensive audio interviews on all of those different areas. Via KStew411
Jamie Campbell Bower Oscar Contender?
Well, not Jamie so much as a foreign language film that he is in from the Netherlands called Oorlogswinter, which in English translates to Winter In Wartime.
According to the Academy the film has made the short list of nominees for foreign language films and now just has to make the final cut.
“The shortlist will be winnowed down to the five nominees by specially invited committees in New York and Los Angeles. They will spend Friday, January 29, through Sunday, January 31, viewing three films each day and then casting their ballots.
The 82nd Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.”
Keeping our fingers crossed for Jamie, and of course for Anna Kendrick (they don’t give short lists in her category).
