August 25, 2010
Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are headed to Puerto Rico for Dominoes, and we don’t mean the pizza chain. Dominoes is a really popular pastime in many Spanish speaking Caribbean islands. So Kellan, Ashley, and a bunch of other celebrities are going to play in a tournament for charity.
According to the translation from the Primera Hora news site:
“A group of Hollywood celebrities is all set to travel to Vieques during Labor Day weekend. They will be participating in this year’s Hollywood Domino A-sea benefit. Hollywood Domino A-sea is a nonprofit foundation that helps children who are burn victims…Dayanara Fernandez, creator of the event, said that among his list of guests this year include at least ten Hollywood celebrities.”

Booboo Stewart and Tinsel Korey Punking Each Other
August 25, 2010
At the Parsippany, New Jersey stop of the Official Twilight Convention by Creation Entertainment, Booboo Stewart and his dad decided to pull a prank on Tinsel Korey. Booboo and his dad constantly do things behind the scenes to trick the members of the wolfpack. It’s hilarious to watch them plotting because Booboo has this angelic, butter-won’t-melt-in-his-mouth innocent expressions and his dad (a stuntman, who is the size of an NFL linebacker) turns into this giddy, 13-year-old boy.
Anyway, the two of them get it into their heads that they are going to sneak into the back of Tinsel Korey’s Q & A session and then hit her with a prank question when it goes to questions being opened up to the floor. What they didn’t anticipate was the instead of staying on the stage, Tinsel decided to walk around the audience as she answered questions. So, she spotted them and turned the tables.
We got tipped off to what was going down about 10 seconds before Booboo snuck in. We had to record it all on Laura’s IPhone because there was no time to get a better camera.
So check it out. The audio is really clear. The video wobbles a bit because Laura was laughing really hard.
Booboo is winning us over in a really Mike Welch entertainer sort of way. You may just spot Laura wearing a Team Booboo shirt in the future.

Ashley also tweeted that she is featured in the Russian edition of InStyle.
Breaking Dawn Brazilian Filming Possibilities
August 24, 2010
There is some concern within the Brazilian filming commission that recent crime in the Rio de Janeiro(photo credit) area may cost Brazil being used as a filming location. According to the AFP:
“The cast and crew of the hit “Twilight” vampire movie series may abandon plans to shoot scenes from the final movie in Rio after a deadly shoot out there last weekend between police and a gang who took hostages in an upmarket tourist hotel.
Riofilme, the city’s agency for promoting movie production, told AFP that “Twilight”‘s US production company Summit Entertainment was in talks with Rio de Janeiro state officials who were trying to convince them to stay.
The original plans were for scenes from the movie “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth and final installment in the vampire fantasy, to be played out in the Brazilian city which is famed in equal measure for its spectacular beaches and its rampant street crime.
But the real-life drama Saturday of drug gang members taking 35 people hostage in Rio’s Intercontinental Hotel as they tried to escape police has proved scarier to the production crew than the fictional vampires and werewolves they deal with.
After a blazing firefight that killed one person and wounded six others, the gang surrendered. There were 1,550 people in the hotel at the time. About 40 percent were foreigners, though none of them was hurt.”
We asked Summit for an official comment on the story. Here is their statement, “The possibility of filming portions of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN in Brazil has always been under consideration and we are continuing to scout locations within the country.”
So, for those of you in Brazil, fear not. The possibility of Twilight coming to you is still in the cards!
