Win a Red Cloak From Volterra

January 27, 2010

You can help the victims of the Haitian earthquake and win a New Moon costume at the same time.  Eric Moro, the Editor in Chief of IGN Movies, writes:

” I wanted to let you know that we are hosting a very special eBay auction – all proceeds from the auction are going to Habitat for Humanity to help those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The reason why I’m writing is because we have a cool piece of costuming used in NEW MOON that’s being auctioned off. It’s one of the eye-popping red robes worn during the shooting of the San Marco’s Day Festival in Volterra, Italy.”

Check out the Ebay auction here.

Stars Hit the Convention Circuit

January 27, 2010

Peter Facinelli talked to The Tennessean about why he choses to do conventions and signing events.

“What are these conventions like for you?

Whenever you have something in common and get together and share your excitement, it’s a great thing. There are Q-and-As with the actors; you get to take pictures with them, get autographs, signatures with them. For me, it’s a fun way to connect with the fans and just have a moment where they can ask questions.

I’m a fan of the books, and I actually enjoy getting together with other fans of the books. When I was a kid growing up, if I looked up to somebody, if I could have been sitting down with Paul Newman to talk about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, that would have been really exciting. I look at it the other way around now, being able to sit down with fans of the movies. I love to be able to give back, in that sense.”

Peter is appearing in Nashville this weekend at the Creation Convention with: Michael Welch, Gil Birmingham(just added), Daniel Cudmore, Charlie Bewley, Kiowa Gordon, and Bronson Pelletier.

You can catch other stars at upcoming events:

Chaske Spencer at a Worchester Sharks Hockey Game.

Daniel Cudmore at Dallas Comic Con

ET: Peter Facinelli on Twitter, Cooper, and Carlisle

January 27, 2010

Peter_FacinelliET caught up with Peter Facinelli and asked him to recap a whirlwind year and to tell us what’s up for 2010.

“It’s been a busy year for ‘The Twilight Saga’ star Peter Facinelli who has been juggling his schedule between shooting ‘Eclipse,’ the next film in the vampire franchise, with his role as Dr. Fitch Cooper on “Nurse Jackie.” ET caught up with the jet-lagged actor to talk about both projects and his addiction to Twitter.

ET: You have a huge following on Twitter. What made you start?

Peter Facinelli: I just enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans. It is a great way to share information with them and it is a good way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people’s faces and mix that up with sharing information with them. That’s important. Also, letting them know what I am doing. I have had people come to me and say, “Will you tweet this out?” There is like paid advertisement stuff. I am not into that. I want to keep my Twitter pure. I don’t want to sell my followers anything, I want to be able to have that base, so I can tell them what I am doing and entertain them

ET: What will we learn about Dr. Carlisle Cullen in ‘Eclipse’?

Peter Facinelli: You get to see a side of Carlisle you haven’t seen before. There are some great battle sequences.”

Sign Theft in Forks

January 26, 2010

This is so not cool. Someone decided to take the sign from in front of the Forks home that has been tagged by the town as the unofficial Swan residence. It’s the second time this has happened. Additionally the Chamber of Commerce had to deal with the gas cap being stolen from the red Bella’s truck parked outside the information center.

So if anyone knows who took the sign, kindly return it! The Forks Chamber of Commerce is being very gracious and is not currently pressing charges, they just want the sign back.

Part of the appeal here is that it doesn’t look like a professinal tourism sign that is nailed down within an inch of its life (see above photo). It’s going to start to get ridiculous if they have to cement and bolt the sign down because people can’t leave what isn’t theirs alone!  TY to Christina for alerting us to this.

Official Twilight Tour is Nashville Bound

January 26, 2010

Lori_Joffs_TennesseanAlphie is probably going to kill Pel for doing this, because there’s a story behind the picture, but what are friends for if not to embarrass you 🙂

As you can see, from Alphie’s photo in The Tennessean surrounded by Twilight items, the Official Twilight convention hits Nashville this weekend at the famous Opryland Hotel. Guests include Peter Facinelli,  Mike Welch (who was just added), Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon, Dan Cudmore, Charlie Bewley.

“I’m 35 — this is my girls weekend!” says Lori Joffs, laughing. Joffs, is the administrator of Twilight Lexicon, one of the most popular Twilight fan Web sites. She has attended Twilight conventions in Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami and Chicago (often as a presenter for Twilight Lexicon), and plans to attend about 10 this year. With so many conventions under her belt, Joffs has seen a lot of Twilight moms.

“There are a fair share number of teenage Twilight fans,” Joffs says, “but generally speaking it’s a rarity to find a teenage fan who’s (at a convention) without her mother. And her mother says she’s a fan, too.”

Be My Escape (Jen) will be joining Alphie at this convention, and as usual we will be live Tweeting the event! So if you are going to be at the convention, stop by and say hi. In fact you can even say hi to Lori’s mom and dad who will be there too.  Lori’s mom has the job of our random number picker. Whenever we give something away, mom does the honors. Starting in February, we will resume our giveaways.

Since we’ve been getting a bunch of emails asking, the Lexicon will be at just about every convention on the schedule (excepetion for LA premiere week and fingers crossed a Breaking Dawn set visit). Here’s the current list of the next 5 months or so of who will be at which one. Just don’t kill us if it changes slightly (husbands, children, parents, real-life and all that).

Nashville: Lori and Jen
San Fransisco: Lori and Laura
Atlanta: Lori and Jen
Los Angeles: Laura and Shelley
Houston: Laura
Arlington: Laura and Jen
Charlotte: Jen
Vancouver: Lori
Minneapolis: Lori and Laura

The New Moon DVD Rundown: Pre-Orders Start Today

January 26, 2010

So there are tons of versions this year and better options with DVD and Blu-Ray releasing the same day. Every version has a little something different when it comes to the extras: red carpet interviews, Eclipse previews, etc. (though as of right now their product descriptions leave a bit to be desired so that you can’t tell who has what. Trust us those things are on different versions and we’re currently emailing several chains stating “um, did you forget to mention something in your product listings”) So check it out and decide which version works for you (our personal advice, unless it’s refundable, wait until later in the week when full descriptions are up):

Itunes

Borders

Best Buy

Amazon
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Two-Disc Special Edition)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon [Blu-ray]

Target

Barnes and Noble (yet to go live)

Walmart (yet to go live)
