It’s Twilight verses Harry Potter in a Reelz Channel face off.  (But we all know that it’s possible to love them both, no need for a fight here. :))  Be sure to watch for our very own Alphie in the video!

Both Hollywood.com and Celebrityphoto.com have pictures of our dynamic duo Kristen and Spunk from the MTV Movie Awards.

And finally this afternoon, Edi and I are in a current state of shock!  In less then 24 hours Twilight fans rallied together and reached that 1000 friend MySpace wish!  I am overcome.  When I saw the total this morning I literally teared up.  You never cease to astound me Twilight fans.  After he emailed me this morning to tell me the news I joked that maybe my goal should be diverted now since we already reached his goal.  Maybe we, as fans, should try for a little healthy competition?  Say…seeing if we can best Peter Facinelli’s MySpace total?  So what do you think Twilight fans, are you game for a Twilight friending stand off?  Edi verses Peter?  (All in good fun of course.)

We are very happy to bring you  an interview with Kristen Stewart from  from our Portland, Oregon Twilight set visit.  We were so thrilled to meet her.  Let us assure you that she is a very friendly and warm person.   One of our favorite moments from Kristen  was when we first approached her and introduced ourselves, she reached out her hand and introduced HERself, too.  Such a very normal and somewhat humble thing for a popular film star to do!  We thank Kristen for the time she took out of her schedule to talk to us. 

Through all the adventures of this very eventful day (from storms, to incoming tides, to an umbrella mishap Kristen so sweetly helped with) we enjoyed our time with the star of this film and appreciate the efforts Kristen took to put a warm smile on her face and make us feel welcome.

Copyright issues 

As some of you may have noticed, many people who have typed out or scanned either the entire books, portions of the books or first chapter of Breaking Dawn have received (or should be receiving) a message from their hosting companies that notices were sent from my publisher to take the content down. I know people are eager to share their excitement about my books, which I love, but you may not be aware that making portions of the book available for download is violating my copyright (unless you have written permission from me or my publisher). Quoting a sentence or two is fine, but anything beyond that is in violation of copyright. Basically, copyright gives an author control over where, when and how her work is made available to the public. This exists to protect the author and her work – a lot of effort has been put into creating these books for you to enjoy — so I hope people cooperate in respecting the copyright for all my novels.

Thanks!

Edited:  Commentary added by Pel:  It’s also just as illegal to translate the first chapter into a language other than English and repost it.  There is a certain foreign language blog that has not only translated the first chapter and preface, but they have taken someone’s fanfiction, translated that, and they are trying to pawn it off as chapter 2.

Actor Edi Gathegi holds a very special place in the Lexicon’s heart.  He was the first to recognize our need for detailed Q&A’s and the very first to step into the Hollywood hotseat and face the questions surrounding his casting and his fit for the character of Laurent.  In short, he is a wonderful guy who loves the Twilight fans. 

Last week I mentioned to you that his MySpace was in need of some much needed attention.  Edi, in fact, has the lowest number of "friends" of all the Twilight actors.  After having a lively conversation with him last week he mentioned that he would love to have 1000 friends on his MySpace by the end of summer.  To which I responded…"That’s it?  Just 1000?  We can do that!"  And out of that conversation was born…The Twilight Friends Campaign – The Summer of 1000 Friends.  (Banner by the ever talented Ambereyes)

So here is what we are asking.  Take the banner above, put it on your MySpace, put it on your blogs, put it in your signatures, put it on your own Twilight websites (though put it in your own photobucket account or you’ll wipe mine.  :D)  Link the banner to Edi’s MySpace like the one above is, and encourage everyone you know to friend our favorite villain!  And while your there be sure to subscribe to his blog.  He promises to update with his happenings more often now!

Laura from Kellmett Happens answers questions about her MTV Movie Awards experience.

Support Nikki Reed is asking for fan submissions as they compile an appreciation book for the actress.

As many of you know, Robert Pattinson premiered the movie How to Be at Slam Dance this year.  The film has received excellent reviews.  Unlike mainstream film releases, independant films require months and often times years of fan support before they are noticed by the mainstream media.  You can find out more information about this film by clicking on the icon or by visiting the How to Be facebook.     –Thanks to Gabby for the information.

Kristen Stewart talks fashion with Christian Siriano.  Can you say Gucci?

And there are a few more Rob and Kristen pics added to the MTV photo gallery.

Edit: Robert is included in this blog about the after party.

As many of you know there was a large fire on the Universal Lot yesterday.  Thankfully no one was hurt and the MTV Movie awards were able to continue with minor exterior staging adjustments.  Some of which included the closing of surrounding shops and restaurants and increased security.  

But there were some amazing Twilighters who braved the heat and smoke to ventured down to the MTV Movie awards red carpet that afternoon!  With the fire still smoldering, security on high, and barricades repositioned they were unable to get close to the red carpet.  And our favorite MTV blogger was unable to get to them, to see their signs and T-shirts.  Unfortunately things like this happen when disasters such as this disrupt a planned event.

But we salute their devotion and the time they took to make some wonderful signs and show their love of this great series!  We look forward to seeing pictures of their adventure soon! 
 
Lets hear it for these awesome Cali Twilight fans and our favorite MTV Blogger who both braved the elements, traffic, lack of water, and food but were never able to connect!

They are true Twilight fans!  You guys ROCK!!!
