George Lopez: Kristen Stewart
Shout out to Kristen’s dad who is one of the industry’s top notch stage managers working live events like the Oscars. He is also the regular stage manager on the George Lopez show.
Last night George began with Twilight Talent Week. He showcased Charlie Bewley’s Rugby skills and Booboo Stewart’s martial arts skills. Now it’s Kristen’s turn.
George Lopez: Billy Burke, and Julia Jones
Both Kristen Stewart’s dads were a part of last night’s show. On screen dad Billy Burke was a guest and her real-life dad, John, is the stage manager for Lopez Tonight.
Soundtrack musician Cee Lo Green also appeared.
Rollingstone: Peter Murphy Goth Icon Gone Team Bella
This qualifies for the interview that made my jaw drop. that doesn’t happen very often. I think many of us assumed that goth icon Peter Murphy was David Slade’s idea, after reading it’s a whole other tale.
“Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy has arrived onstage suspended upside down like a bat, but he went a step more goth for the latest Twilight film, guest starring as a vampire in Eclipse, which hits theaters today. The British singer tells Rolling Stone he had never read Stephenie Meyer’s book series, but he thought the movies might be a good match for his music, so he approached music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas at last year’s South by Southwest festival with a pitch.
“I didn’t assume there would be any interest, but just as an aside, I told her, ‘It would be excellent to be in the film, too,'” Murphy says. He’s had previous experience, performing Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” in the 1983 vampire film The Hunger and has a hunch one of his tracks was key to the birth of Twilight: “I’m sure ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ helped inspire the naming of Bella,” he says. “I’m not a Twilight geek, but if I had to choose between Bela [Lugosi] and Bella [Swan], I would choose Bella Swan.”

Eclipse Enters US Supreme Court Discussions
For those of you who aren’t from the US. Our Senate is currently conducting a hearing to question a potential new member of the US Supreme Court. The discussion has gone from the serious to the ridiculous as the two parties which are in power in the US government grill this potential candidate.
We are usually politics free around here, but this didn’t comment on public policy so much as provide an amusing sidebar. For the sake of the moderators’ sanities can we request no political party bashing in the comments.
TY to various people who wrote in.
Pel’s Spoilerific Eclipse Review
Ok, let me start by saying that Eclipse is my favorite book in the series. So if anything, I think I was more inclined to be picky about this one. I’ve now seen the movie twice: once in IMAX about three weeks ago in LA with a bunch of movie critics and last night in NYC at midnight with fans.
