 NEW YORK (July 30, 2008) — Stephenie Meyer fans who are unable to attend the beloved author’s sold-out four-city Breaking Dawn Concert Series tour will be able to enjoy the events from the comfort of their own home via Entertainment Weekly’s EW.com. EW.com will host two live webcasts of the special concert series being held in celebration of the release of Meyer’s highly anticipated novel, Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment of the internationally bestselling Twilight Saga. The Breaking Dawn Concert Series will include a Q&A and autograph session as well as a special musical performance by one of Meyer’s inspirations, Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. This special concert series will kick off at the Nokia Theatre on August 1 in New York City and continue onto Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle. EW.com will live stream the August 1 New York event at 7:00 p.m EDT and the August 7 Los Angeles event at Royce Hall at 8:00pm PDT.  iClips.net is providing the content, and producing the live video for these events via the iClips.net live streaming video platform. 

 "I am thrilled that my fans from all over the world will be able to be part of the Breaking Dawn Concert Series" says Stephenie Meyer. "Having these events broadcast online lets everybody experience these special events."

"EW.com users are obsessed with Stephenie Meyer, and we’re happy to feed the addiction," says Cyndi Stivers, managing editor of EW.com. "We’re delighted that Stephenie is allowing us to provide the front-row seat for these concerts."

 

"iClips.net could not be any more excited about producing the live video for these events and streaming them live to the world with such a great partner like EW.com."

The event will also feature special musical guest Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October, who will perform several songs during the concert, including those that have appeared on Meyer’s playlists: Sound of Pulling Heaven Down and Hate Me from New Moon, and Overweight from Eclipse.  Meyer has said that Furstenfeld’s music has played a major role in her writing and has even inspired scenes in the Twilight Saga.

In less than three years, Meyer has become a publishing phenomenon with more than 10 million copies of the Twilight Saga in-print in the U.S. Fan anticipation is reaching a feverish high with the film adaptation of Meyer’s first book in the series, Twilight, scheduled to be released in December 2008. The stars of Twilight, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, were recently featured in character on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.  Meyer’s fourth and final installment in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, will be released at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, August 2, 2008.

Now just for fun — let’s play that age old game….One of these people are not like the others. 😀 What’s Happening: Maroon 5, Counting Crows, Sara Barielles, Stephanie Meyer This Week In New York City — can you spot the difference?

The Big hitters have come out to play once again as Time Magazine lists the best of the best of Comic-Con. And Twilight fans you should be very proud.

Most Enthusiastic Fans: The Twihards, devout readers of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series of vampire books, were the loudest and proudest in Hall H, starting a Twilight chant while they waited, shrieking any time a cast member, Meyer or director Catherine Hardwicke said anything and asking lots of questions about vampire hotness. After the panel was over, so many Twihards rushed the movie’s booth that fire marshals briefly closed it down. Fanboys, don’t look back. The fangirls are gaining on you fast.

The article also mentions that members of the Twilight cast made an appearence at the EW/Sci-fi Channel party later that night.

Premiere.com has an interview with Kristen from Comic-Con. It talks about what she feels about her first major lead role and how she shook out of being Bella Swan when shooting was over.  

Premiere.com: Edward, whom Bella falls for, is a vampire, but it seems like he could be
the equivalent of the sensitive bad boy in real life, too.

Kristen: Well, yes. There are a million guys like that, and most girls have the same
feelings for them. Yeah, there are a bunch of little themes like that. I
mean, yes, it’s a fantasy, and we’re at Comic-Con [so it is in the] comic
book genre, but it’s very close to home. It’s about real human beings, even
though the vampires aren’t human. He is. That’s what differentiates him
between the good and the bad vampires, is that he still has a connection to
his human self. He’s not just given to the animalistic side

 

Pattinson Online has announced that IMDB has updated the "Little Ashes" page to include a full synopsis of Robert’s next movie. And the Official "Little Ashes" website has been launched.
