Hollywood Outbreak has an audiofile of Kristen where she talks about the switch from Catherine to Chris. Based on Kristen’s answer, the other thing that is clear, despite gossip stories that might let you believe otherwise, Kristen and Rob are not consulted on who gets cast in New Moon
Kristen talked to Mark Malken over at E!. Here’s what she had to say in a more lengthy than recent 30 soundbites interview. Read it all here.

“I love the fans,” she insists. “I feel like I am one of the fans and any direct interaction I’ve ever had with them has been the most warm and pleasant and enthusiastic. If anything, it’s the biggest driving force that could propel you to do something.”

That doesn’t mean all the new attention—OK, hysteria—can’t be overwhelming at times. But when she was recently quoted in a magazine as describing some of these experiences as “psychotic,” some felt she was taking a dig at the fans. “It’s not normal for me to be in a situation that Twilight puts you in,” she explains. “It’s not personally normal for me to see 5,000 screaming girls. But I’m not criticizing them for being ‘crazy’ about me. I’m sort of going, “Wow, this is just crazy!’ “

As promised, the official Stephenie Meyer website has published an additional image from Catherine Hardwicke’s Director’s Notebook.

While we are on the subject of Stephenie Meyer’s official site, it’s probably a good time to give a run down of all her official sites. We’ve been getting a lot of emails lately asking if certain facebook and twitter accounts are Stephenie’s; they aren’t.  Here’s what’s legit, if it’s not on this list, it isn’t her:

Why is today special?

Kristen Stewart sat down with ET to talk about her movie the Cake Eaters. She also mentions what Twilight has done for her.

EDITED: As usual the embedded video from ET doesn’t work, but the llink does. Check out the video on ET’s site.

Kristen Stewart made Teen Vogue’s February 2009’s Top Ten Best Dressed List. Kristen came in at the number 8 position just ahead of Dakota Fanning. Dakota made the cut wearing the outfit she wore on David Letterman’s show when she was promoting her new film, Push. Kristen made the cut due to the outfit she wore at the Twilight Movie Tokyo Press Briefing (not to be confused with the red carpet or the fan meeting).

Access Hollywood is going to be featuring deleted scenes from the Twilight movie today and Monday.

Frosty, AKA Steve over on Collider, (You remeber Steve, the guy with the BEST footage from the Twilight press junket last fall) just gave us teh heads up on an interview that Kristen Stewart did for her upcoming project The Cake Eaters. Kristen address the recent Nylon magazine article and surrounding controversy.

According to the Collider article:

““I love the Twilight fans. I have literally never said anything remotely negative about them,” she told us…You have to stay away from certain key words that can be twisted in a negative connotation. Like the word ‘psychotic’ apparently is really bad,” she said, provoking laughter around the table.

It’s all very hush, hush, but daughter of former Van Halen lead singer David Lee Roth has nabbed a part in New Moon. The question of the hour is which one? The article confirms what we have been suspecting that signed on stars have signed a NDA (non disclosure agreement) Let the speculation begin.  Anyone else thinking Gianna?

FYI: The link takes you to an article that has a picture that is a bit revealing.

Edited: Looking a lot more like we got punked on this one.  Especially nice touch when the original sending source had a really legit looking photo of the script. Nice touch. Sometimes you just get had, this is one of those times. Better to admit to it, pobody’s nerfect 🙁

The girls from Twilight Singapore who provided the best coverage of any media source (professional or amateur) of the Twilight release in Tokyo are saying thank you to the fans who watched their videos.

Again we’d like to say a huge thank you to them for sharing the amazing experience with all of us!
