A Twilight Saga Fansite
According to the ELLEN website:
“Do you love the “Twilight” series of books and films? Are you counting the days ’til the release of “New Moon”? If so, we want to hear from you! Enter here and tell us exactly what makes you “Twilight’s” biggest fan!”
No clue on exactly what the show will entail, or who may be making an appearance.
In fact Ellen is the only one, MTV UK is looking for UK Twilighters who could win a chance to see the New Moon Movie at the premiere.

According to the TDN, a large number of people have been visiting Kalama HS. Kalama is where the infamous parking lot crash was shot. Kalama’s gym was also the site of the volleyball game, and their weight room was turned into Bella’s hospital room.
“It’s just a daily thing now since the DVD came out,” said Kalama School Superintendent Jim Sutton. “About 15 to 20 people visited the parking lot each day last week while students were on spring break. Generally, they come in groups. They take turns staging themselves in the same spot as the actors in the film. They’re definitely some serious fans.”
According to the Collage Ministries website, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are scheduled to appear at the group’s October “Flatline Conference”.
According the the group’s MySpace they are “a GENERATIONAL women’s ministry. That believes in bridging the gaps between the generations. Encouraging and taking an everyday interest by investing in everyday lives! By reaching back towards the generations behind us and pulling them up alongside. As we exchange brokenness to restoration, value, and glory that only God can do. Our heart is to continue to shed light on the truth while being sensitive to where every young lady is in her spiritual walk. Through our ministry we have seen many lives changed for the better.”
For more information, see the group’s website.
Ever wonder what it was like to be a fan of someone before they were cast in a Twilight Saga movie, and then to find out that the person you know is going to be up there on the big screen? Well, Naomi of the Team Taycob website knows a little about just that when it comes to actress Tinsel Korey, AKA Emily Young. Here is Naomi’s interview with us:
1. How did you and Tinsel meet?
Actually, I have never met Tinsel. I only met her through MySpace. My sister Marlena was the one that found her MySpace page and told me all about her. (So credit goes to my sister.) When I first saw Tinsel’s picture, I thought she would be the perfect Leah Clearwater. I remember seeing “Into the West” where she was in it. So I friend requested her, leaving a comment about the Twilight series, and how I thought she would be good for the role of Leah. She then left me a comment (on December 16th, 2008) saying, “Thanks for the tip lady… will pass that info on.” A couple of weeks later, she started posting bulletins about the New Moon open casting and a blogged about it. I asked her if she was looking into the role of Leah, and she replied back saying that she will look out for the role. Next thing I know, she’s cast as Emily Young.
2. If you could describe Tinsel in three words, what would those three words be?
Beautiful, talented, and determined.
3. Obviously you’re a Twilight fan. What’s your favorite Twilight book and why?
My favorite Twilight book is Eclipse. I love this book because it’s the book that made me a proud member of Team Jacob. Eclipse also elaborates more on the other characters like Jasper, Rosalie, and Leah. It’s the book were the wolf pack and Cullens come together and work as one. Which is cool because werewolves and vampires have always been enemies. To read about how these enemies came together was awesome. Plus, I love the role of Leah Clearwater, and I totally relate to her. So it was nice to read about some of her bitterness in Eclipse.
4. How did you hook Tinsel on the books? Did you do this with anyone else?
I’m not sure if I got her “hooked” on the books. I’ve tried asking her, but she wont say anything about it…LOL! But I’m pretty sure she has read it. She has Twilight down on her book section on MySpace.
5. How did you find out about Tinsel getting cast?
I found out like everyone else. I went on NewMoonMovie.org and they had the list posted from Lainey Gossip. I was totally freaking out. A lot of people on Lexicon knows how I have been going on and on about Tinsel playing Leah. My fellow Team Taycob ladies kept saying, “look naf Tinsel’s on the list.” But when Summit came out with the official list, Tinsel wasn’t on it. So, the ladies at the Team Taycob website did some digging around, and found that Tinsel was indeed playing Emily Young from the paragraph posted on her MySpace page.
6. What are the best qualities that Tinsel has that you think she is going to bring to the role?
Well, I just recently watched a movie called “The Lookout” where Tinsel was in. (I didn’t even know she was in it until I watched the movie.) There was a scene where Tinsel’s character is cooking Thanksgiving dinner for her group of friends. I thought it was ironic because that is totally something the character of Emily Young does for the wolf pack. Later on in a different scene, Tinsel’s character is talking on a phone with, I believe, her son. In that little conversation, Tinsel presents a “motherly” trait. I thought it was cool since in Twilight, Bella sees Emily as a “mother figure” to the wolf pack.
I’m confident that Tinsel will bring these traits and much more to the role of Emily Young in New Moon. I’m excited to see the character come to life through her. Also, Tinsel’s a musician, and I’m a fan of her music. I would love to hear some of her songs make it on the New Moon soundtrack.
7. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
I’m not sure if I am the one that is truly responsible for Tinsel Korey knowing about the Twilight Saga. What I am going off on is what I know, and what I know is that I left her a comment about the Twilight Saga, a brief summary about it, a description about the role of Leah Clearwater, and how I thought she was prefect for the role. And then, of course, Tinsel replying back about the tip and her other comments about looking into the role. So, that’s all I know.
Also, I would like to give a shout out to the ladies at the Team Taycob website especially to Cye and Chloe who have been working extremely hard in getting the site up and running. You are the best!! Team Taycob has recently moved sites and changed our name from “Obsessed” to “Team Taycob”. So feel free to visit our site anytime, and join our forums.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank Twilight Lexicon for this opportunity. I am honored to be interview by you all. Plus, if it wasn’t for Lex, I would have never met the ladies of Team Taycob, and we would have never been inspired to create our own website. Again, thank you Lex. Go Twilight!! And I’ll see everyone else in the theaters on November 20th for New Moon. TEAM TAYCOB!!
Catch Tinsel’s Demo Reel below:
According to Box Office Mojo:
“On Friday, Hannah Montana raked in an estimated $17.3 million, which typically would have led to a weekend of well over $40 million, but the picture tumbled 40 percent on Saturday, ranking second to Fast and Furious on that day. With over half of Hannah‘s weekend business coming from Friday alone, the only other picture ever to have a more Friday-loaded first weekend was Twilight.”
Plus at approximately 4:09 which guy from Twilight do you think they are talking about?

We give a real tip of the hat to the following bloggers who scooped out this one. It was really a joint effort with different people putting together the pieces. Looks like Jamie enjoys the wig and the contact lenses just as much as the rest of the cast does. He’s been twittering about the experience.

This is a special music feature Sunday edition and I bring you a selection of songs that represent Jacob’s journey in New Moon. These are the songs that always make me think of Jacob. The songs vary in genre and cover very specific aspects of Jacob’s story. There will be a poll at the end so that you all can give your opinion and there is also a discussion thread so you can list your favorite Jacob songs. If there are a lot of different songs I may consider having a second poll with different songs. So here is the list. Oh and before everyone asks over the next several weeks I will be doing songs for Bella and Edward as well as many other music related polls.
Be My Escape
Unwinding Cable Car by Anberlin – This song reminds me of the first time that Jacob sees Bella after Edward leaves. The lyrics are beautiful and the music sets the right tone.
Emotive unstable you’re like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it’s the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you’ve seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal, this animal
It’s Not Over by Daughtry – This is my ultimate Jacob New Moon song. The first time I heard this song I thought I Jacob at the end of New Moon standing by the tree looking at Bella back with Edward. It was so clear that Jacob wasn’t just going to give up and this song just speaks to that scene so clearly for me.
I was blown away what could I say
It all seemed to make sense
You’ve taken away everything
And I can’t do without
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
I created a playlist where you can listen to all the songs. To see the rest of my song choice explanations check the discussion thread where you can talk about your songs favorite Jacob songs too!
And now what you have all been waiting for the POLL.
This upcoming week has a lot of Twilight music happenings. Check out the list below and if the shows are close to you I highly suggest checking out some of these amazing musicians.
Bobby Long will be arriving in the states for his first tour. He will be kicking it off in NYC on Monday 4/13 at the Lakeside Lounge and then on Tuesday 4/14 at Arlene’s Grocery.
You should definitely stop by and make Bobby feel welcome. I’ll be there with NoMoreMarbles. Hope to see all of you there too! Something of note both of these shows are 21+.
For all you Canadian fans Sam Bradley will be performing in Toronto on 4/16 at The Drake Hotel (19+ show) and 4/17 at The Gibson Showroom which is an all ages. show. US fans do not fear Sam will be playing a show with Bobby in Nashville at the Lindsley Bar and Grill on 4/22 and 4/23.
And last but certainly not least the Twilight Music Girls will be performing a 18+ show in LA at Whiskey A Go Go. The show will also feature Bobby Long (are we sensing a theme here?) I have seen the girls perform live and they are not to be missed. You can pre-order tickets for the event on the TMG myspace page. I also suggest checking out their latest contest. Win an Ashley Greene autographed Special 2 disc DVD. Check out all the details here.
Hope to see some of you at the show on Monday or Tuesday
