Teen Vogue: Introducing Xavier Samuel

Teen Vogue features Xavier Samuel in their June/July issue.

“When Xavier Samuel arrived in Vancouver last summer, he didn’t make it far past baggage claim before he started making headlines. With just a few offbeat Australian flicks under his belt, the sandy-haired 26-year-old had been chosen to play newborn vampire Riley, the latest heartthrob in The Twilight Saga. Almost instantaneously he was being hailed as Robert Pattinson’s doppelgänger and couldn’t get coffee without seeing flashbulbs.

“It was all very sudden, not just with the paparazzi but also with being cast in general,” says Xavier, who’s been acting since high school. “I did an audition from Sydney on tape. Then I got word that it was down to four guys—and that I was one of them.” (Rumor has it he beat out Channing Tatum and Harry Potter’s Tom Felton for the part.)”

Check out the full article on Teen Vogue. where they have some great photo outtakes, a chance to go to the Eclipse premiere, and they also have a 10 Things You Should Know About Xavier list.

Peter Facinelli Staying Out of Negociations

peterpremiereThe NBC affiliate in Chicago asked Peter Facinelli to comment on the reported salary negotiations going on between Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, and Summit Entertainment.

“Facinelli told PopcornBiz at the StepUp Inspiration awards on Friday that’s he’s signed up for “Breaking Dawn” but he is not using his fatherly influence to work with the other kids.

“I haven’t spoken to them about this,” he says, adding that he doesn’t plan to either.”Their deals are their deals. I respect whatever they decide to do. Every actor has to do their deal.”

According to various articles Peter Facinelli and Billy Burke have signed and Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone have or are about to sign. Rob, Kristen, and Taylor according to their USA Today story are a done deal. You can see the full story on NBC Chicago’s Popcorn Biz Blog.

We’re sure the Eclipse cast will be popping up in more locations once we get closer to June 30th. Jimmy Kimmel has Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner on June 23rd. They tape on June 14th, so we’re sure some details will leak out early.  However there are a couple of other appearances before that:

May 26- The Black Keys (number 7 position on the Eclipse soundtrack with Chop and Change) will be on Jimmy Fallon

May 18-Nikki Reed is on Ellen.

May 19-Robert Pattinson is on Ellen. Also on the same day is self-professed Twilight fan Adam Lambert. This should be interesting!

June 6-Vampire Weekend(number 10 on the Eclipse soundtrack with Jonathan Low) will be on Stephen Colbert. No word if he’ll be bringing his stapler with him.

The Vancouver Sun: Twilight Convention Recap

“Eleven-year-old Twilight fan Grace Pero’s dream came true Friday: She got to ask a question of Twilight actor Bronson Pelletier.

Other fans wanted to know how the 23-year-old prepared for his role, if he had a girlfriend, and “What it was like exploding into a werewolf.”

Grace took a different approach. Shyly, she asked, “What’s your favourite muffin?”

The answer is carrot, although he’s also partial to banana, as well as cupcakes.

It was a charming little exchange, and one of the oddly memorable moments at the opening of a three-day Twilight convention in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel.”

USA Today: How Rob, Kristen, and Taylor Keep the Twilight Machine Rolling

robkristayusaoprahUSA Today was able to interview Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner when they were in Chicago for the Oprah show.

“Dashingly disheveled Robert Pattinson has an infectious, high-pitched laugh that would never do for his seductive vampire lover-boy, Edward Cullen.

Buff-and-polished Taylor Lautner is pocket-size compared with the looming stature of his werewolf counterpart, Jacob Black.

Casual yet cool Kristen Stewart can be a real chatterbox, unlike her moody Bella Swan, the high schooler in a romantic tug of war between these two supernatural objects of teen desire.

Lucky girl, right? “Yeah, but that’s in the movies,” Stewart says about bringing to life the modern-day Gothic heroine from the insanely popular Twilight book series (85 million copies sold so far). “I’m just the ultimate fan. If you read a story and you like it andconnect to it, it probably means you’ve inserted yourself in the story, and I get to do that on the most glorified level possible.”
