A Twilight Saga Fansite
The Official Summit Twilight movie Twitter just released this photo and tweeted, “Just for our Twithards! We still have something special in store for 200K, tho! Eclipse title treatment!” Originally we were supposed to get this when they hit 200,000 followers on Twitter. They are roughly 80,000 shy of that mark. Wonder what we’ll get when it hits 200K?

USA Weekend, a magazine found in many Sunday papers, has an interview with Robert Pattinson.They have a vampire retrospective here, and then they get into the actual interview.
“For each movie, Pattinson says he’s tried to reinvent Edward a little bit. The first Twilight film had him falling in love with the human Bella (Stewart); New Moon has him banishing himself from Bella’s life, thereby creating a love triangle with the werewolf Jacob (Lautner); and Eclipse creates a tenuous co-existence between Edward and Jacob. “He’s definitely quite different” in Eclipse, Pattinson says of Edward. “In some ways, he’s more relaxed being around humans, and at the same time, he’s competing a lot more with Jacob so he has a lot more petty emotions rather than just thinking in these absolutes like he did in the first two. I’m just trying to keep it interesting for myself as well.”
To get the full story, see USA Weekend this Sunday. Here’s a list of where you can find the issue.
Rolling Stone of all places “gets it”. In our opinion, so many media folks don’t understand the appeal, or only get it in the most cursory of ways. Check out what Rolling Stone had to say:
“It’s a shame John Hughes didn’t live to hear the New Moon soundtrack — it’s a Pretty in Pink for our vampire-crazed times. Indeed, if Hughes were making a Breakfast Club 2010, Molly Ringwald’s detention buddies would have to include a vampire, a zombie, a werewolf and whatever Judd Nelson was. As any goth girl can tell you, undead dudes are way cooler than the flesh-and-blood kind.
The genius of the Twilight saga is the way it celebrates the passion of the all-American fang hag, with Robert Pattinson as the perfect plasma-slurping pinup boy: He’s hot, he’s sexy, and he’s undead. So New Moon is a movie soundtrack, but it’s also a concept album about the bond between teenage girls and their imaginary bloodsucker boyfriends.”
There must have been some fierce competition for those four new werewolf roles. What was the audition process like and how did you finally land the role of Paul?
It was an intense process. When I received the call for submissions, I had already started working out because I knew it would be physically demanding. After a couple rounds of callbacks, I was lucky enough to land a role.
What can you tell us about Paul?
Paul is the “bad boy” of the wolf pack. He comes across as volatile, but I think he’s misunderstood. He is just very proud of being Quilete and is unapologetic about being a protector for his people.

PJ Star had a phone interview with Kellan in advance of his appearance at a Peoria hockey game scheduled for this weekend.
“What can you tell me about “New Moon”?
As far as “New Moon” goes, it’s similar to the book. Taylor Lautner (who plays Jacob Black) does an amazing job and (director) Chris Weitz does an even better job of captivating the (werewolves) and making them real characters, in a way. It’s more of a manly movie.
What do you do to get into character, to get your mind into the vampire world?
For me, when I’m away on set, the energy I get from my workouts and the training I do – especially with filming “Eclipse” right now – helps put myself in the mindset of becoming Emmett. It’s a lot of testosterone buildup, I guess (laughs). A lot of times what helps is to do quick pushups to get the heart rate going.
In “New Moon,” when Jasper comes out in this whole rage sequence, it’s really nice to have your heart pumping during that scene.”
Seventeen Magazine has a collection of Kellan quotables.
“When I’m at craft services, I make the BEST-tasting, 10-layer meat and cheese sandwich with no bread. It’s five different types of meat, three pieces of turkey, then provolone cheese, then three pieces of ham, then American cheese, then three pieces of turkey, then a chicken cutlet! Then I put chicken salad on top of that, and I finish it off with Swiss cheese, then honey mustard. I’d just be walking around with this huge sandwich, it was so good!”

This in from HillyFans, the Hillywood Show fansite:
We all know the New Moon Parody is coming up. We also know that THS funds their own parodies. Well, did you know that John Henson is costuming it, and that HE also funds his own ventures? He has to buy a lot of couture items, and it tends to cost a ton of money (we have an interview with him on the site, if you want to check it out).
HillyFans.Com is running a Costume Donation Fund! All the money will go directly to John to help make the Parody look as authentic as it can, and we’re just the medium to get the donations to him. Plus, as an incentive for you guys to donate, we’re just giving away tons of memorabilia (some isn’t listed on the site yet, but trust me, it’s FABULOUS). We have things donated by various artists: me, jewelers on etsy… and John Henson himself! These are things from his personal collection! We can’t announce everything we’re giving away just yet… but you’ll see why soon!
Here’s where you can check out one of the only ways to say that you helped with the NM Parody!
We (HF.C, THS and John Henson) would really appreciate if you just took a few moments to check out the donation page! Please keep checking back with HF.C to see the winners of the raffle PLUS a new contest to celebrate the release of the New Moon Parody!
