In responce to the hundreds of requests that I have received about the Eclsipe area of the site, I can now say that we are officially on top of it!  I have to appologize for this taking so very long, but I am THRILLED by the way the mods have banded together to get the Eclsipe discussion area filled!  I should be able to update that area of the site very regularly for the next few weeks.  Yeah to the mods! 

The Preface and Chapter One: Ultimatum have been posted.  You can find the discussion questions for the Preface and for Chapter One over on the message boards in the new forum titled "Fire and Ice."   Cocoa did these first two, so we have her to thank for getting us started.

I just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that the Special Edition for Eclipse was all ready on pre-order.  The book will include two t-shirt transfers as well as the first chapter of Breaking Dawn.  I believe it will also include a full color print of the cover of Breaking Dawn.  It will be available on May 31st.  You can pre-order the book at the Lexicon’s Amazon Shop.

Other pre-orders for The Host and Breaking Dawn are also available.

Stephenie Meyer updated her site with photos from the set of Twilight the movie.  Rumors were going around that she had lunch with the cast and this seems to confirm that.  She has a very humorous post about the time she spent with the "people out of (her) imagination".

Also, the additional cast list was confirmed by Variety.  Check it out.

Christian Serratos confirmed on her MySpace page that she will be playing Angela Webber. (Edited: A big "Hi" to  Christian who mentioned that she visited our site.)

Thanks to TwilightObsessed for the photo line-up

BloodyDisgusting.com is reporting another seven names added to the ever growing cast list for Twilight the movie.  Billy Burke, Taylor Lautner, Christian Serratos(EDIT CONFIRMED AS ANGELA), Edi Gathegl, Rachel Lefevre, Sarah Clark and Gregory Tyree Boyce have joined the cast.  At this time we are uncertain of who is playing who, and I think we have all learned that speculation only leads to problem.  Once we know the characters they will play, we will let you know.

Credit goes to Kellie for the heads up on this one!

In an attempt to make shopping a little less stressful on everyone, we have set up a store through Amazon.com where you can find all of Stephenie Meyer’s books as well a whole list of other items.  We have music from her playlists, other movies from the actors currently cast in the Twilight film, books that you could read while you wait for Breaking Dawn or The Host to be published, and lots of other fun things for you to choose from.  If the Easter Bunny still visits your house, maybe you could drop a hint and make a wish list for him to shop from.  This is very new and we are still learning our way around.  I’m sure there are lots of products we ahve over looked, but if you have a suggestion for something we missed, e-mail us or leave a comment and let us know what you think we should add.

The Twilight Lexicon Amazon Shop

Have fun shopping!

Stephenie Meyer’s website has updated today with the official press release about the Cullen family including photos! I must say that they really do look good and it makes me even more excited about the book being made into a film than ever. Check it out! Reminder – no flames in the comments or we will shut them off.

We have from a reliable source that Jackson Rathbone has been cast as Jasper.  If you all remember Stephenie had originally had him as one of her Edward picks.  Jackson’s IMDb can be found here.  There is also a Jackson Rathbone fansite.

On another note MTV has posted an article about new cast members Nikki Reed, Cam Gigandet, Michael Welch, and Rachelle Leferve.  There is also this article on MTV.
