Eclipse Cast Heading For July 4th Celebration

According to a Press Release from NBC:

NBC Celebrates the nation’s birthday extravaganza with performances by music superstar Justin Bieber, Grammy® Award winning musician Enrique Iglesias and multi-platinum singer LeAnn Rimes on NBC’s 11th consecutive live broadcast of “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks® Spectacular.” Cast members from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse will also partake in the excitement onboard the Norwegian EPIC. Hosted by Nick Cannon, from NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Alison Sweeney, from NBC’s “The Biggest Loser,” the show will air in high definition on Sunday, July 4th 9-10 p.m. ET, 8-9 p.m. CT.

The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, the nation’s largest Fourth of July fireworks display, returns to the Hudson River to illuminate the sky over New York City with a glorious spectrum of colors, shapes and sparkling dazzlers. Featuring more than 40,000 firework shells, American Harmony, the theme of this year’s Macy’s Fireworks display, will take more than 3 million spectators on a high flying journey through the nation’s musical history that is filled with unique harmonies embraced by the entire world.

“Building on last year’s success, Macy’s will again present its 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular on the Hudson River,” said Robin Hall, executive producer of the annual event. “Millions of people along the riverfront and millions more watching the primetime special, which this year will be staged aboard the magnificent new Norwegian EPIC, will see a show a mile and a half long and hundreds of feet in the sky saturated with an unexpected spectrum of rich, jewel-like colors.” He added, “There will be huge shells with cores of color that sparkle and astonish. We’ll transform the sky into a tapestry of rich colors produced though an alchemy of ancient art and modern technology; colors that are somehow intensified by the soaring vocal-infused Fireworks score.”

So the Today Show vs. Letterman…what do you think? And what do you think of Kristen’s new hair color which is probably for her upcoming role in On The Road?

EDITED: Kristen also appeared on Regis and Kelly. See the video below.

Twilight Saving Forks From Economic Downturns

According to the Puget Sound Business Journal:

““Twilight” tourism is widely credited for shielding Forks merchants from the recession, and state sales-tax data support that view.

Taxable retail sales statewide fell 15 percent to $100.8 billion between 2007 and 2009, according to data gathered by the state Department of Revenue. We have the recession to thank for that.

But in the city of Forks, taxable retail sales during the same period increased 15 percent to $46.2 million. In fact, Forks’ taxable retail sales in 2009 are the city’s highest in the Department of Revenue’s online database, which goes back to 1994. We probably have “Twilight” to thank for that.”

Much of this money is going to much needed renovation. The oldest portion of Forks High School that was built back in the 1920’s and which has been a complete nightmare to heat efficiently is now being torn down and a new building (where kids won’t have to wear coats in the winter) will be erected.

Jen Yamato Explains Twilight 101 To a Nonbeliever

This is THE most hilarious thing like this I have ever read, and the non-Twihard is actually not really obnoxious. It’s absolutely worth the read!

Dave: Okay! So let’s talk about GREEN HORNET! I’m ready!

Jen: Uhhhh, Dave?

Dave: Okay! So let’s talk about EAT PRAY LOVE!

Jen: Well, that’s not exactly the romantic epic I was thinking about.

Dave: Okay, I am now ready to talk about ENTER THE VOID!

Jen: That’s not it, either — although if Bill Condon gets creative he could take a very interesting cue from Enter the Void for the birthing scene in his 2011 sequel The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. So… let’s talk TWILIGHT!

Dave: Why do I have to wait through Eclipse to get to the part where she has a monsterbaby?

Jen: Because all good things come to those who wait. Sometimes, those things are bloody, gory child birthings of half-human, half-monster babies. You know, they made Eclipse to be more action-packed than the previous two Twilight films, with plenty of vampire-on-vampire-on-werewolf violence. In other words, it’s kinda-sorta-almost your kind of movie!”
