"When we realized there was a chance we could get it – the person who brought it to us was someone who worked with me at Paramount – we aggressively pursued it." ~ Says Friedman, CEO of Summit Entertainment, on pursuing the rights to Twilight.  Read more on Shock ’till you Drop.

-The View Point Inn has added a Twilight Movie page to their website.  Check it out for all the cool events they are planning.

"This is the magical place where heaven and earth meet and time stands still for lovers of all ages. This is where Stephenie Meyer and Catherine Hardwicke opened the pages of Twilight and released Bella and Edward to breathe and give voice to their eternal love for one another. This is the place where Bella and Edward’s love will live on film and in our hearts – forever."

*Note that the picture used to promote the page is not Robert and Kristen, it is merely a publicity shot used to advertise their facility for special occasion gatherings.

Thanks to Twilightobsessed for the heads up.

-The TwilightMOMS also have an inteview with Kellan Lutz.  See our Actor Interviews page for the link.

Rachelle Lefevre was able to squeak in an interview with us in the middle of her very busy shooting schedule, look for her in an upcoming Boston Legal.

Some interview highlights include:

"For me letting someone go through my ipod is a very intimate act! You’re so exposed, all your bad taste and guilty pleasures on display."

"Victoria is like all of the parts we all have but don’t like to admit or pretend aren’t there."

Thank you again for Rachelle for taking the time to talk to us, and thank you to Cocoa for acting as our interviewer.

MTV has posted a new article which includes footage of Catherine Hardwick and Nikki and Kellan discussing various aspects of filming including Stephenie’s cameo.  If you make a comment on MTV, let them know you saw it here first! 

MTV let us know today they would be posting a special sneak peek at Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob Black).  They have now posted that video.  Click here to see it.   If you comment on MTV’s blog, let them know you got the link through the Lexicon!  You have seen it here first!

For those outside the U.S., NoMoreMarbles has YouTubed it for you.

*Edit: MTV is a US broadcasting station.  Video on these sites can not usually be viewed out side of the United States.  When/if it is posted on youtube, we will post the link.  Until then, our apologies, but this is not something we can help.

EDIT 2: Be very wary of shareware programs that let you see a website outside of your country’s range. Many of they have a ton of adware that comes in with them as well as Trojan viruses…not that anyone here ever fried her computer trying to see Torchwood on the BBC website

The Lion and the Lamb live Journal Community posted an entry featuring a Breaking Dawn tagline. This has been verified as being legitimate. Read into the slogan what you will.

The verified marketing slogan:

Twilight tempted the imagination. New Moon made readers thirsty for more. Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon. And now, the book that everyone has been waiting for…. The final book in the #1 best selling Twilight Saga will take your breath away.

There is also a supposed cover out there featuring a ruby and one featuring shattered glass. It’s a great photoshop, but not the real thing.

So, one out of two ain’t bad. 🙂

The Movie Fanatic named their top three picks for best Twilight fan sites this morning.  Many congratulations to all of our users here who make this such a wonderful place to visit, and to the other sites listed, we are in good company.   Check it out and send your love!  They have also released their top 20 hottest young actors list.  With Robert Pattinson coming in at #19.

*Edit: Your dedication to Twilight is utterly impressive, so much so that we appear to be overloading The Movie Fanatic servers right now.  The site is moving very slow and in many cases not loading at all.  Be patient.  Try again in a few minutes.

*Edit #2-You can vote Robert into the top ten.  There is a vote box between actors 11-12.  Show Robert your support.

MSNBC is conducting a poll on the best upcoming actresses in Hollywood.  The Poll entitled "Who do you think could be the next Jodie Foster" includes Kristen Stewart in their poll.  Currently Kristen only has 4% of the vote and Dakota Fanning is in the high lead with 38% of the vote.  Lets get out there and show MSNBC and Kristen our support.  Note: You can only vote in the poll once, so make it count!

*NEW Edit: Kristen is in 2nd place!  You guys are amazing!  Keep encouraging your friends to vote and maybe we can edge out Dakota Fanning!

Also this morning Michael Welch’s upcoming projects are featured in a new emediawire write-up.  Check it out.

I added Chapter Seven: Unhappy Ending to the Eclispe discussion area.  Talk about the chapter over on the message boards.  Lots of thanks to Be My Escape for her help on this one.
