High Resolution Trailer Now on Oprah!

Check it all out and remember to video your reaction and send it to us!

Tweets from the Oprah Show

Oprah tapes live in Chicago and then replays throughout the day.  Me personally, I don’t get to see Oprah until 4:00 pm today in Nashville.  However, one fan tweeting from the account named ChicagoJen has been tweeting from the Oprah show and it all sounds very exciting!  She has mentioned that Dakota was ill and is skyping in, that there were clips of Bella and Edward in the meadow, and that May 13th will be Oprah’s all Eclipse episode with Dakota, Taylor, Kristen and Rob.  Read all the details at ChicagoJen’s Twitter.

Check your local listing for when you can see the Oprah show and the full Eclipse trailer.  We will post the trailer as soon as it goes live on the internet.  And then follow along the live webcast with Nikki Reed, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Julia Jones.

Charlie Bewley Interview Part One

We had the chance to interview the ever charming Charlie Bewley while we were in Houston a few weeks ago.  Here is part one of the interview.  We will post part two later this weekend. Many thanks to Creation Entertainment and Charlie Bewley for allowing us this opportunity.

MTV: What Can We Expect on Oprah

The folks over at MTV have asked what I think all fans are asking: What can we expect to see on Oprah today? Obviously, we will see the final trailer for Eclipse. Hopefully that trailer will give us more of a glimpse of the action and suspense of the film like the New Moon trailer did as well as more of the actual romance. And because Nikki Reed, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Julia Jones will be on the live chat feed after the trailer debuts on the main Twilight internet channels, MTV speculates that they may show up on Oprah as well. They also assume that some other cast members might appear, which we can only assume means Rob, Taylor, or Kristen. Read the whole story over at MTV News.  It’s been pointed out by Molly G. that the Twilight twitter account said Dakota Fanning will be on Oprah to debut the trailer.

For all the details on the live chat and to submit a question to be asked, visit the Twilight Twitter.

Ashley Greene: Nylon Magazine Article and Photo Spread

Ashely Greene along with Vanessa Hudgens and Portia Doubleday are on the cover of Nylon for May. There is a fabulous photo spread by Marvin Scott Jarrett and an article that covers Ashley’s rising career, the paparazzi, and the Twilight Saga:

Ashley Greene, on Twilight Paparazzi
“I know their cars. Bit there’s always people sitting outside my house. I put my own security system in my apartment because you have to worry about people getting a little too obsessed.”

About Twilight
“It’s a bit insane for me, because Twilight is this huge teen phenomenon and the fans are passionate and want to know everything about us. So, you know, we get followed around.”

Before getting booked at Twilight
“There were a lot of little things along the way that happened just as my parents would say ‘Ok, its time to come home and go to college…So I built a resume that I could, you know, embellish a little.”

On young Hollywood
“We’re not all crazy! … I feel like that whole generation, that’s dying down now, thinks they’re higher than God and can do whatever they want”

On Breaking Dawn
“If they make one, let’s be honest, I’m gonna do it.”

It’s all to promote recycling and the Keep America Beautiful project.
