Hugh Jackman Gives Thumbs Up To Rob’s Singing
April 15, 2009
In Italy to promote his upcoming film, High Jackman was asked by what he thought of Robert Pattinson’s singing the night they met in Japan. For those of you who don’t remember, right after the Oscars Rob, Kristen, and Taylor went to Japan for the Twilight movie release there. Hugh Jackman, who was there at the same time for the Australia movie release, was staying at their hotel and they all ended up doing Karaoke in the bar (oh to have been a fly on that wall).
Here’s a video from the local Italian TV station (warning it takes forever to buffer) and the transcript over at Robsessed
New Moon Cast Supports: 100 Monkeys
April 15, 2009
Vancity Allie scored some tickets and passes to the 100 Monkeys gig in Vancouver last night. The New Moon cast was their in droves to support Jackson Rathbone and his band.
According to Vancity Allie:
“I can’t even begin to tell you how nice the cast was. They asked for us to wait to take photos until mainly after the show because they didn’t want to take the spotlight from Jackson’s band, and they were incredibly kind, classy, and friendly. And they mostly hung out in the crowd all night, just enjoying the show like everyone else. Mindblowing! Kudos, Twilight cast. You really are a one-of-a-kind group. Thanks for putting up with us fans!”

Plan Your Twilight Vacation Now
April 15, 2009
Let’s say conventions are not your thing. There are a ton of different options open to you for a Twilight vacation:
First, Beyond Boundaries, the company who counts the highly successful Harry Potter tours in their repertoire, sponsors Twilight Fan Trips. This summer they have three options for Twilight fans:
- Journey To Volterra which takes you to beautiful Italy
- Vampire Baseball (selling out fast) which takes you to Forks and the Portland filming locations of Twilight.
- Passion for Fashion & Prom Party featuring Twilight costume designer Wendy Chuck and a Twilight Prom at The View Point Inn where the Twilight movie prom was filmed.
Now if cruising Twilight style floats your boat (literally), you have an entire year to save up for this next opportunity. The Examiner did a Q & A with the sponsors of the first ever Twilight Themed cruise.
“First of all, Twilight Fans can look forward to [a] Question and Answer Session, Autograph Session, Photo Shoot, Costume Ball and Contest, Original Game Shows like Twilight Jeopardy and Cullen Family Feud, Parties, Movie Viewings, Vendors room and meeting other Twilight Fans from all over the world. We will get to hang out every night and dance and sing Karaoke and just have fun.”
Now if you are traveling to Forks on your own, and want something on a smaller scale, there is the Dazzled By Twilight site that does tours in and around Forks and La Push. The operation is a local one that supports the local Forks economy.
Bobby Long: Early Report
April 15, 2009
The Cullen Boys Anonymous has an article up abou their interview with Bobby Long at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel yesterday before his second round of NYC based shows.
“With his performance at the Lakeside Lounge on April 13th, Bobby Long officially launched his first US tour. Self-described as “shy” by nature, Long has found himself amidst an eager audience of Twilight devotees. However, having had the chance to meet this humble 22 year old, one can see that he has a wealth of talent which allows him to step out of the long shadow of friend Robert Pattinson and into his own well-deserved limelight.”
Check out the rest of their story here.
Be My Escape will be back later with video and her own story.

April 14, 2009
According to Access Hollywood, Heidi and Spencer of The Hills fame are just the latest in Hollywood to name drop wanting to be in a Twilight Saga movie. Here’s what Spencer had to say.
“If Speidi are like angels who are killing vampires, I’m down,” Spencer said when asked about his “Twilight” aspirations. “Vampires are too demonic for me… I would rather be the big Speidi monster that would come eat the werewolves and the vampires!”

Bobby Long in NYC
April 14, 2009
Bobby Long performed his first show last night in NYC. The turn out was large for the venue and his performance was great. People arrived as earlier as 6:30pm for a 10pm show. Some things people should know, Bobby is a fantastic musician in his own right. He has an acoustic folk style that is appealing and his voice is truly beautiful. If Bobby is playing in your city I highly suggest stopping by a show to enjoy his music.
For those of you in NYC he has 3 shows tonight at Arlene’s Grocery. This is a 21+ plus. For those of you who can’t attend check out Bobby’s myspace page and his single, Left to Lie, is available on Itunes.
The Normal Mormon Husbands Solve Edward
April 14, 2009
Well, at least they think they have solved Edward. For those of you who don’t remember the Normal Mormon Husbands, they are a group of LDS guys who for lack of a better term are self-described Twilight-Widowers. You’ve heard of football-widows, this is the gender reversal equivalent.
They have their own blog and have talked about Twilight before putting their own tongue-in-cheek spin on it such as The Cold Hard Truth About Edward and their Breaking Dawn spoofs.
Well now they think they finally have Edward figured all out.(*shakes head* guys, guys, guys…)
Robert Pattinson’s Music Roots Run Deep
April 14, 2009
It seems like you can’t turn around lately without hearing something else about Robert Pattinson, his taste in music, his fellow musician friends from the UK, and his music ambitions. Here’s the latest run down:
It seems that Robert gave an interview to a Czech publication where he states he likes the group Tokio Hotel, and wouldn’t mind seeing them on the soundtrack.
The LA Times ponders if Rob’s ambitions extend to Grammy or Oscar dreams.
The Examiner has dubbed Rob’s group of musician friends: Bobby Long (pictured left via EW), Marcus Foster, Sam Bradley ‘The Brit Pack”. Let Me Sign, sung by Rob in the Twilight movie was co-written by Bobby and Marcus. Rob also performs Never Think written by Sam Bradley in the Twilight movie. Entertainment Weekly just did a big article on Bobby Long who just played to a packed crowd in New York last night.
Now they certainly owe their exposure to Rob singing their material in a blockbuster movie, but the person who was actually instrumental in getting this all to happen in the first place was the seldom mentioned Nikki Reed. If Nikki hadn’t shown Catherine Hardwicke Rob’s music, and Catherine hadn’t insisted that it be put on the soundtrack, probably none of this new found exposure would be happening to the degree it is.
