Recently there have been a rash of rumors concerning actor Jackson Rathbone circling the web.  I have been asked to relate the following from his management to the Twilight fans. 

Any rumors regarding Jacksons Rathbone’s sister and her health are unfounded.  Jackson has also been reported to be over the age of 24, that is also false.  And finally the stories circulating the web about him being in a long term relationship for the last three years are also unfounded. 

In this day and age when the information super highway is brimming with the latest gossip on this star or that it is important that we remember our sources.  And most importantly to remember that most actors value privacy above all else and seeking after personal information such as a family members health is an invasion of that privacy.

As many of you know Robert Pattinson, star of the soon to be hit film Twilight, also stars in a small independent film called How to Be.  Unlike studio releases, independent films gain momentum throughout the year by airing at film festivals across the world.  How to Be will be showcased at an up coming film festival right here on the east coast.  The Rhode Island International Film Festival will be featuring How to Be this year.  If you are in the area, check it out!

In this edition of Twilight Tuesday MTV discusses the film being faithful to Stephenie’s work and reveals the Cullen Crest that has been so talked about all across the internet since April on the MTV Blog.  And for an added bonus watch one of these additional scenes as its being filmed here!

Hop over to our message boards to share your thoughts about the meaning of the crest.

We know many of you are planning trips to Portland this summer to tour the many majestic Twilight filming sites.  We wanted to be sure that you added the location of the Meadow Scene to your itinerary!  The meadow scene was shot in Carver Park in Portland, Oregon.  This was a closed set (this one is to be a suprise) so there are no filming pictures, but after producer Wyck Godfry’s description of shooting, its a must see on any Portland trip.

Carver Park lies approximately 45 mins southeast of Portland.  If you zoom in on the map you will see its rich vegetation along side the Clackamass River.  When you visit this area, be sure to stop by the Stone Cliff Inn for dinner and a beautiful view.

Carver, Oregon is best known for its excellent rock climbing.  See some pictures of the surrounding area here.
