Keep in mind it is the college humor site so there’s some of what you might call R-rated, locker room humor leading up to a pretty funny ending. TY to Anne Marie for the heads up.
Michael Sheen Interviews Ashley Greene
January 13, 2010
Michael Sheen who co-stars with Ashley in the upcoming movie Apparition interviews Ashley in the aptly named Interview Magazine.
“In the Twilight movies, Ashley Greene plays the saga’s resident good-girl vampire, Alice Cullen—all pixie haircut and motherly touch, not a hint of bloodlust in her earnest high-school demeanor. Greene’s career—and her life—has changed dramatically since she was cast in the blockbuster series. For one thing, teenage girls shake uncontrollably and burst into tears when they see her on the street. For another, it was just a couple of years ago that the 22-year-old Greene was struggling to land guest spots with no dialogue, and almost had to leave Los Angeles and return to her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, where she’d originally planned to study psychology and law. But now, she’s booking movies faster than she can make them—including her first big lead, in the upcoming supernatural thriller, The Apparition. Michael Sheen, Greene’s co-star in Twilight and New Moon, recently caught up with the actress.”

Twilight: Put on Your Spidey Senses
January 13, 2010
When word hit the street that Toby McGuire wouldn’t be reprising his role as our building swinging hero, speculation started as to who his replacement would be. Rumor also has it that the next movie is the hugely popular franchise will focus on Peter Parker’s teen years. The UK’s Mirror mentioned Robert Pattinson, although that seems a longshot to us. Rob’s great but isn’t quite the average-looking, boy next-door,pseudo- geek the role call s for. MTV’s Hollywood Crush is suggesting that Michael Welch is closer to the character.
What do you think? Is there hope for Twilight to meet Spiderman?
The Onion Spoofs Twilight
January 13, 2010
Thanks to Terri and Emily for pointing this out to us.
According to the Onion (well known for its biting sarcasm, satire, and humor):
“Acknowledging years of marital dissatisfaction and a noticeable increase in her vampire husband’s weight, 43-year-old Sara Pastor told reporters Thursday that she often seeks solace by losing herself in the escapist fantasy of the Twilight novels.The Pastors settle in for what has become a typical Friday night together.
The New Orleans resident said it’s been ages since her husband, 834-year-old Andrei Pastor, bought her flowers, took her dancing, or appeared at her second-story window and charmed her into allowing him inside. According to Sara, she purchased the first book in Stephenie Meyer’s young-adult vampire romance series 14 months ago, while waiting for her husband to pick her up from the airport, and has taken refuge in the novels ever since….”
See You in Seattle and Candace Charee Needs You!
January 13, 2010
The Creation Entertainment Official Twilight Convention that is being held this weekend in Seattle is shaping up to be quite the event. Currently slated there are appearances by Peter Facinelli, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier, Kiowa Gordon, Dan Cudmore, and Charlie Bewley.
Pel will be making the Lexicon’s three presentations, and she’s also be joining Twilight Facebook’s Lauren on a panel. Another newcomer to the official convention this weekend is Lana Veenker. If you have acting aspirations, this is one panel you DON’T want to miss. Lana (who helped to cast Twilight) will be talking about the realities of the film business and how you can get involved without getting ripped off!
Now if you are going, Friday night’s concert entertainer is Candace Charee, and she needs some volunteers to be ” back up dancers for my show lol just like 2-4 people on stage being silly and acting like a part of my show.” Candace is a great singer with a fun personality, so if you are game you can contact her at [email protected] or via her MySpace (which, check it out anyway because it gives you a sampling of her music).
Forks Police Chief Loses Job
January 13, 2010
Forks Chief of Police for the last decade, Mike Powell has lost his job according to the Forks Forum. Newly elected mayor, Bryon Monohon, dismissed Powell. Monohon, who just took office on January 1, 2010 issued the official statement, “I have determined that there is a need for new leadership in the Forks Police Department. As a result, and pursuant to FMC 2.30.010, I have dismissed Mike Powell from the position of Chief of Police for the City of Forks…In the days ahead I will be further assessing the direction and structure of the Forks Police Department. In addition, I will be developing my expectations for the new chief of police in relationship to the operations of the Forks Police Department.”
Many Twilight fans have encountered Powell over the years and his afflable nature regarding the Twilight Saga and Charlie comparisons. He routinely would pose for picture and “arrest’ fans when asked time permitting. We met Mike last Summer while attending the Summer School in Forks Symposium and captured this video of him talking about how Twilight has impacted his life.
Twilighters Mobilizing For Hatian Disaster Relief
January 13, 2010
Actors such as Chaske Spencer have tweeted about donating money is as simple as sending a text message.
The Thinking of Rob Blog is currently leading the charge. They have an excellent detailing of what is needed and how you can help. From our experience in the Harry Potter Fandom, it’s a great thing when sites can come together and raise money for a humanitarian cause. The Harry Potter fandom did this for both the Boxing Day Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Tens of thousands of dollars were raised.
Please vistit that Thinking of Rob blog and help anyway you can. The images coming out of Haiti are gruesome to say the least.
What’s even more crucial is that the need is going to be there months from now. We are going to be putting together a Twilight themed basket to auction off for this cause, proceeds to the Red Cross. Details will follow next week.
EDITED: One of our regular readers works with Doctors Without Borders. This organization is already onsite and providing aid.
Stephenie Meyer Addresses Breaking Dawn Rumors
January 12, 2010
This was just posted on Stephenie Meyer’s personal website:
Just a quick note on the subject of the Breaking Dawn film: there is no drama over whether the book should be one movie or two. My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I’ve said in many interviews previous to this), but if a great way of doing that surfaces, I’m all for it. Two or one, whichever way fits the story best is fine by me, and everyone I’ve spoken with at Summit seems to feel the same way. We’re all excited to move forward on this, and we are slowly and surely getting there. I know people are anxious for news, and so sometimes gossip get fabricated to stir things up, but there’s no basis to this particular story.
Steph”
Yesterday, prior to this LA Times article appearing, E!’s The Awful Truth column ran a story that was then widely quote that Stephenie Meyer was essentially the only stumbling block to a movie not being announced. The E! story concluded with a statement directly addressing Stephenie Meyer: “… Steph, just some more food for thought: If you put the kibosh on an extra Twilight film, Twi-hards are going to have your rich little booty for din-din! Trust us, you’ll be skinned alive, diced, fried and then flambéed alive.
These are fans you do not want to disappoint.”

The Littlest Twilight Fan
January 12, 2010
RPatzNews Tweeted about this and it’s pretty funny, not quite the dancing YouTube baby, but still…in retrospect maybe she’s more the youngest Robert Pattinson fan. The video kind of reminds me of a kid I used to babysit for back in the day, only then it was Shawn Cassidy and not Rob. Around the 3:15 mark or so is a moment.
