Lexicon regular, Twilighter’s Dream, has had the chance to see the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament up close and personal. She mentions the details being very clear on Bella’s wedding dress and how fine of a job they did making the dress look like the one in the film. But she also mentions that the ornament really doesn’t looks like Rob and Kristen. Here are some of the images she has provided on her blog. Does this make you want the ornament more or less than before? Leave us a comment!
The new add campaign for DKNY featuring Ashley Greene is out. Ashley and male model, Johannes Huebl, seem to be caught in almost candid moments from their lives while walking around New York. These are just a few images from the campaign. You can see a slide show of all the images as well as a video by visiting DKNY.com.
Tracey is the woman on the LEFT in the photo we are running. Celeb Buzz has her confused with the other Amazon Coven member Judi Shekoni. This is what Tracey had to say about working on the Breaking Dawn set.
B: Tell us about your role in the movie.
TH: I play the role of Senna, the oldest vampire. I come from the frame of reference where Zafrina, my vampire sister, has hooked me up again in some kind of situation and I’m here now. And all of the sudden, I want to help and defend these people [Cullens]. I’m very excited, because Senna loves to fight. She loves to kick butt and take names. I don’t want to give too much away, but Senna is ready to go.CB: Mackenzie Foy plays Bella and Edward’s child, Renesmee. What was the dynamic like with her on set?
TH: She is so genuine. Mackenzie is a real live little girl. Every time she was on set, we all doted around her. She has that kind of sweet spirit, and I can see how she booked it because it just comes through.CB: The film’s director, Bill Condon, said it brought out a very paternal and motherly part of Rob and Kristen on set —aside from their swearing! Would you agree?
TH: Yes, Mackenzie had a swear dish, so each swear was per dollar. Some people said, “I’ll give you 20 dollars now before we even start working.” So, she whooped us all into shape with our dirty mouths.

Laura’s regular Breaking Dawn column is back in full swing over at Movies.com after taking a couple of months hiatus. Check out her predictions as to what will go down this year for the last big Twilight hurrah.
Another item to be on the lookout for is a PR stunt from the team at Summit/Lionsgate. With that many fans lined up three days in advance, they always do something. It’s a beautiful photo op for them with so many fans gathered in one place. Why not take advantage? The only question remaining is what exactly are they going to pull-off this time around?
Last year, on Thursday morning to play off the movie name and to coincide with the break of dawn at circa 6:00am, they served the fans in line breakfast with beverage, muffins, coffee mugs, and posters being given away. Now, what’s more impressive about this, is that it wasn’t just a bunch of college students hired out to do the distribution. There were actually Summit executives handing out food and swag. After the crowd was warmed up with the free food and gifts, came phase two: a visit from the cast. Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, and Elizabeth Reaser from the Cullen family made an appearance along with Julia Jones and Booboo Stewart from the wolfpack. They worked the fan lines in each of the tents signing autographs and posing for photos. The last bit of fun for some lucky fans was pulling a specially marked ticket from a bag that allowed the bearer to get an autograph from Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Bill Condon right after the Breaking Dawn Hall H panel.

File this one under either there is more to the story, or the folks in New Mexico literally have no other pressing crime issues. According to the LA Times:
A New Mexico woman was handcuffed and taken to jail this month for $35.98 in library fines. The Portales Public Library‘s records show that Lori Teel checked out Stephenie Meyer’s book “Twilight” and a two-DVD set of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in 2010 and never returned them.
The overdue library fines led to a summons to appear in court; when Teel failed to do that, a warrant was issued for her arrest. Teel says she never got any notices, because they were sent to an old address and returned to the court, undeliverable.
Teel was arrested in front of her five children, ages 1 to 10. Police had been called to her home to investigate a disturbance when they discovered the warrant for Teel.

Due to the fact that we now have a time schedule for the Breaking Dawn panel on Thursday, we know that there will be panels before and that “camping” will be required. We’ve been asked a few times about advice for camping because we have camped out in years past. However Comic Con has changed up the rules somewhat and we want to make sure that those of you who are going are planning accordingly for that long line into Hall H. This information can be found on the Comic Con official site.
For safety issues we cannot allow anyone to line up in the Park until ALL tents, canopies, stanchions and work is completed at the Park. This also includes areas adjacent to the park, so please no waiting nearby for work to be completed. We anticipate that all work will be finished sometime Tuesday morning (July 10), however this is not a guarantee.
Because this is a safety issue, we have been told that anyone waiting in the area before all work is completed will be asked to leave regardless of time of arrival or length of time they have been waiting.
In an effort to accommodate as many people as possible with the least amount of impact for all, please follow the rules below:
- Camping is not allowed.
- No tents, canopies, inflatables, cots, beds, furniture, large coolers, heaters, large fans, large umbrellas, chaise lounges, open flames, or anything of similar size of any kind as determined by the Convention Center.
- You are allowed to have one chair per person of relatively normal size. You may use a sleeping bag or blanket as well, provided it is only taking up the space of one person. No facilities or services will be available in the Park, so plan accordingly.
- Restroom access will be available in Lobby G of the Convention Center from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM each night starting Tuesday, July 10. No other access to facilities will be available. Please respect the grounds and dispose of trash in trash receptacles.
- Please do not leave any trash or waste behind.
- No “saving” a spot in line unless it is only temporary, such as a restroom break.
How does this differ from years past?
Back in 2009, I’ve seen tents and canopies and inflatable beds and all kinds of things that make sleeping out much easier. However last year in 2011 those were no longer allowed. It sounds like they aren’t allowing for any accommodations for protection from the California sun given that even large umbrellas are banned(no idea if this means golf umbrellas or beach umbrellas), however it does sound like they are putting up the same protective canopy that they did last year and they need time to put it up without people being under it as that would be an obvious safety hazard. Add to it no large coolers and you’ve got a problem storing food on site. Also, if you’ve gone as a group and left one person in line while the others go get food or go back to the hotel to shower, it doesn’t appear that will be allowed either. There will be random badge checking going on, but I’m not sure how they plan on enforcing the “no saving places” rule. Also, take note that you officially can’t start lining up until all the roping and work on the area is complete, which they hope will be done on Tuesday. It will make Comic Con a very different experience this year, that’s for certain!
Here’s where you can find Breaking Dawn Part 2 and Twilight actors on Wednesday and Thursday of Comic Con.
Wednesday July 11: 6:00-9:45 Special Sneak Peek Pilot Screenings Ballroom 20
Sneak peaks at Revolution starring Billy Burke (Charlie) and JD Pardo (Nahuel)
Revolution — What would you do without it all? In Revolution, an epic adventure thriller from Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke, J. J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, and Iron Man‘s Jon Favreau, a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic landscape of empty cities, local militias, and heroic freedom fighters where every piece of technology-phones, computers, cars, even lights-has mysteriously blacked out…forever.

Pardo (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), David Lyons (The Cape), Maria Howell (The Vampire Diaries), and Tim Guinee (Iron Man films) and is executive produced by Kripke, Abrams, and Bryan Burk (Fringe).

Thursday July 12 Breaking Dawn part 2 Panel Hall H
12:45-1:45 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2— Summit Entertainment presents a sneak peek at the highly anticipated conclusion of The Twilight Saga films. This is a must-see for fans interested in the story’s final chapter. You will be shown exclusive footage from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2 and be treated to a cast and filmmaker Q&A session providing details on the epic finale. Hall H
NOTE: There is no indication as to what (we are assuming something big is TBA) precedes Breaking Dawn in Hall H. 12:45 is the mid-day time slot. Following Breaking Dawn is a Walt Disney panel with a look at Tim Burton’s new film which is his take on Frankenstein. So our take folks is CAMPING WILL BE REQUIRED or no guarantee of getting in. Also of note is that these schedules change. If you remember, back in the New Moon Comic Con appearance, we were originally after an AVATAR presentation and then they flip-flopped the order. Stand by, there may be some juggling after they announce other Hall H properties.
EDITED: Note there are very specific rules as to when you can arrive and what you are allowed to have if you choose to sleep out on the street to secure a place in Hall H. See the details here. Prohibitions include tents, barbacues, etc. https://www.twilightlexicon.com/2012/06/28/comic-con-and-the-no-camping-rule/

Visit Team Jack to read everything!
We don’t normally post things like this, but since news is slow we figured what the heck!
We saw these posted on Jack Morrissey’s facebook page the other day and thought they were amazing! It’s fan art trading cards created by Nikola-Nickart made from the trailer featuring each coven.
There has also been this gem floating around facebook that had me rolling when I first saw it! If you’ve never heard of Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter then you might not get it.
