As always there are people who sound off on blogs knowing nothing about what they are saying just because they can. Don’t feed into the negativity. That’s exactly what that type of person wants. It only serves to reinforce their stereotype of ignorant, rabid fangirls. Let’s kill them with kindness and an healthy dose of articulate facts. In the end, that makes the point without sinking to their level.

Brynne from Kansas City along with a movie theater co-worker unrolled a happy suprise this week!!!  The Twilight One-sheet!

CNN has posted a transcript of last nights Glenn Beck show.  Stephenie’s interview is located 3/4 of the way down the page.  When quality video comes available we will edit this post and link it here.

Here are some highlights:

"The name of the book is fantastic. It is ‘The Host.’

You have got to be the coolest mom, because you write to Muse, don`t you?

You have made a book that is not — it`s not just for teens, it`s for adults, too. But there`s no sex in it, there`s no smoking, there`s no drinking. It`s a safe book, and yet, it is thrilling all the way through. Thank you. "

Alphie and Pel will be at both events in Utah next week. We want to take pictures of your Host themed tee shirts, posters, tatoos, you name it so look for us.

Those diehard SLCTwilighters waited for hours at the midnight release of the Host to get tickets to the signing.  See the raw news footage here! 

The Bella Cullen Project is getting a little love from their hometown press!  You rock ladies!

Stephenie has a lovely interview with the publication All Things Girl.  Check out part one here.

Quick “thank you” from the road
Current Mood: Giddy

Hey guys! I’m in Kansas City, MO tonight, looking forward to my event tomorrow. I wanted to thank everybody who was in Minneapolis last night. It was such a great event! Everyone was so cool and sweet. It went super smooth, and a lot of that is due to you guys for being respectful of the people putting on the event and each other. I know how incredible my fans are, but I am still blown away by you all! Thanks for being the best fans in the world. I’m so excited to see more of you this month.

Oh, and thanks also for all the great feedback on The Host in my comments. It’s always so nerve-racking to release something new, and I really appreciate the encouragement!

Steph

 And finally Seth wants to make sure you review the Calender before heading off to the signing nearest you!

Verified through Summit to clear up confusion once again regarding the trailers for the movie.  The ONLY trailer that Summit has produced as of this moment is the trailer that you can see on Myspace.  This trailer was give to MySpace as an exclusive and is therefore not seen elsewhere until Friday.  On Friday the SAME teaser trailer that you have already seen will be placed on the official Twilight movie site as well as other sites all over the web.  This also includes movie theaters!  The Twilight trailer is NOT exclusive to Speed Racer.  If you go see speed Racer this weekend you may or may not see the teaser trailer on your movie screen.  The trailer may in fact pop up on other film previews here and there.  You may even see it pop up on your TV screen this summer.

The only, and I repeat ONLY new promo exclusive you will see until later this summer will be on the extra features section of the Penelope DVD.  Which will include exclusive Twilight movie footage!

Any rumors that there is another trailer ready to premier anywhere are false.  This is it for awhile folks.  It was a wonderful trailer, but it’s a long time between now and December you’re going to have to be patient.  In the meantime there will always be Twilight Tuesdays and the movie exclusives we have for you here. 

The majority of the confusion lies of these words found on the Official movie page "Sneak Peek".  A sneak peak in movie lingo is a showing of a film or trailer before its national release date.  As in "I saw a sneak peek of Indiana Jones last week". It is not abbreviated material.  It is usually given out early to a specific audience  (in this case the die hard fans) so that the marketing team can get an idea of how the production will be received by a national audiences.  Summit gaged your reactions to make sure they had delivered a good product before it will air nationally. 

Enter to win a copy of the Host at Edge Boston!

Don’t forget to watch Stephenie on Glenn Beck this evening on CNN!  Check your local listings for air times.  On the East coast the Glenn Beck show airs at 7pm and then again at 9pm on CNN.  There are few hosts that are as candid, straight talking, funny, and heart warming as Glenn Beck.  Not only does he share an affinity to Ms. Meyer in religion, but he is the father of teenage daughters.  This should be a wonderful interview. 

Edit: Keep political commentary off this site.  This is a Twilight website, not a site for political debate.  Commentary regarding Mr. Beck, and his political leanings, on this post will be moderated and potentially banned. Unless Bella and Edward suddenly join the Young Republicans or the Young Democrats, (or any other party for that matter) this has always been and will always be our policy.

There is a tenative schedule to air an interview the radio show "All things Considered" conducted with Stephenie on NPR friday May 9th between 4 and 6 pm.  Thanks to the Forks a Twilight Podcast for the heads up.

Reelz releases the transcripts from interviews conducted while on set.  You will find many of your favorites there!

The Leaky Cauldron posts a Robert Pattinson news round up.  We are happy to share the excitment of having this great actor in both fandoms.

Oh good gravy now I can’t stop rhyming! 

The Lovely Maggie sent us an interesting tidbit about Kristen’s double Katie featured in the video below! 

"As a side note, I just saw your video on doubles, and it might be interesting to note that Katie Powers, Kristen’s double, actually ended up getting a part on film. Catherine liked her so much that you will see her as the flirting waitress in the restaurant scene 🙂

Wait ’til you see her hairdo…."

Justin Chon was interviewed not once, but twice today!  See his new interviews with Twilight Starszz and Twilight Portugal on our Actor Interviews Page.

Remember that MTV video response we told you about?  Well the results of that request are being aired all over the MTV network!  See who made the cut.  Go show MTV some love!

Stephenie had a lovely interview with the Centre Daily Newspaper.
