E! Rob’s pretty much taken over the celebrity urban dictionary known as Addictionary.  Our favotite entry is the one for "Pattisonic Boom"

Blogger Maggie is back stateside and she has her own insight as to Chris Weitz and New Moon.

No, the title of this entry is not a typo. Yes, we’re finding it …searching for the right word…bizarre, weird, strange …still searching…that we just used "Hot Topic" and "couture" in the same sentence. It wins the prize hands down as the biggest Twilight related oxymoron(how’s that for the right word) we’ve ever run across, and that is saying something!  So, what do you think about the latest from Hot Topic?

Kaleb Nation, the Twilight Guy, is up to Chapter 14 of Eclipse. Aside from Kaleb’s unique male view of the Twilight Saga, we will have more things to look forward to from Kaleb in the coming year. He is a first-time novelist, with the Farfield Curse slated to hit shelves in late 2009.

Peter Facinelli will be co-starring with Edie Falco (Carmella of Soprano’s fame) on a new Showtime series called Nurse Jackie. Peter will be playing a doctor, comparisons to Carlisle will inevitably start.

The numbers are in, 3.7 million to be exact. That’s how well Twilight did this past weekend in the UK.  With the UK’s Festive Season beginning this week and Christmas Break beginning in the US, look for totals to rise.

Realizing just how divided their union is SAG (Screen Actors Guild) postponed mailing out strike ballots (originally due to go out Jan 2) until January 14th. This gives the possibilities for further talks after the holidays are over. With any luck a little Christmas cheer will bring rivals together. If it doesn’t, TV and film production is again threatened. It will be interesting to see what the LA Times’ take on this latest turn is later today. They’ve been covering the story since the beginning and have all the players and possibilities down.

NP national post The Twilight Saga dominated the Canadian best seller lists this year.

So if you want to read the Twilight Saga on your IPhone, you’re now in luck.

Breaking Dawn and The Host placed in various categories in the Literary Escapism blog.

MTV has another shot of Rob’s hair and asks for your opinion. Twilight made MTV news staffer, Joe DeShano’s, Top Ten Movie’s list. All we can say is if Larry Carrol gets to make a list, there will be a near riot if Twilight isn’t on it. 🙂

MO If Rob was looking for the opportunity not to be noticed back home in the UK, it’s probably not going to happen.

Bloody Disgusting Nikki Reed isn’t the only cast member with horror in her future. Edi Gathegi’s, My Bloody Valentine opens in January. (warning, it’s a horror movie and a little graphic in the trailer) Their tag line is hysterical "Nothing says date movie like a 3-D horror pic!"

Twilight themed Christmas gifts are making lots of recommended lists for last minute shoppers. If you end up with a Hot Topic gift card in your stocking they’ve added even more merchandise.

OK! Rob hit the sexiest list in OK Magazine.

Stage Time ponders, all in good fun, if the Twilight Movie can be hazardous to your relationship.

Film.com asks the question that a lot of fans have been asking: which Chris Weitz is it that’s going to direct New Moon.

Shock Till You Drop Shock Till You Drop talks about the possibilities of Nikki Reed’s horror flick, Chain Letter, making it to the big screen in teh coming year. (Warning: there are some fairly graphic images in the trailer that is featured in the link.)

Breaking Dawn was named to the reader’s choice Top Ten Books of 2008.

Stephenie Meyer was named as one of the Ten Most Fascinating People in Publishing.

Believe it or not, Rob is getting notice in the press for things other than his hair…or lack thereof 🙂

Rob was named to Whitney’s Top 100 People in 2008. Rob came in at number 20.

E!  Rob made E! Online’s Addictionary. Check out the definition of Patronize.

Books A Million is starting their own Twilight Saga club.

The weekend box office revenue for all films is down from what was expected. This is pretty much due to the snow storms that have socked the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard. Twilight, however, upped its take to over $150 million.  

Thread Twilight continues to be popular overseas. New Zealand, where no one is worried about snow since it’s summer, gave it a thumbs up.
