David Slade on The Twilight Saga:
Today, however, it seems like Slade’s Twitter account has been deleted, which is a crying shame. Besides the loss of an interesting tweeter, another of the reasons this is unfortunate is that the deletion covers Slade’s tracks a little and hides a rather amusing little attack he launched on the Twilight franchise.
/film has the full story.
Congratulations to Rob for winning the Best Actor Award for his role in How To Be at First Glance Film Festival. Further details can be found at Pattinson Online.
Here’s an exclusive interview with Rob about How To Be. Thanks to comcast.net:
In the film he plays Art, a guy who doesn’t really fit in (imagine that!) and is looking for his place in the world. Art is stuck in a rut and enlists an elderly self-help guru to guide him down the road of life. Pattinson sat down for an exclusive interview and gave us the inside scoop on singing live in the movie and how he relates to this dysfunctional character.

Vancity Allie shares with us The Bella Motorcycle Mystery. Apparently, it was reported that Kristen is riding with some other biker guy and not with Taylor. I didn’t read the full story because the blog post contains spoilers 
And let me just say this — Kristen Stewart is one HECK of a cool chica. She did ALL her stunts tonight, at least the ones that I saw. Props for braving it out in the cold Vancouver night on a motorcycle all evening. Major Kudos, Kristen!
Read this new interview with Tinsel Korey. She too realize that her life is about to change.
In New Moon, Korey adds sweetness and light as Emily, part of the story’s community of natives who befriend lovelorn teen Bella (Kristen Stewart) when her vampire beau (the freshly minted superstar Robert Pattinson) leaves town. Some of those natives have another side as werewolves, and human Emily bears the scars from where her werewolf boyfriend once got too close.
“I wasn’t even allowed to say I was in it for months,” she says. As well, Korey has stayed away from the Internet fan chatter. My agent is like, ‘You’re banned from the Internet, you’re not allowed to Google yourself, because people can be really mean.

Bloodsucker Blues – an article by Amy Raphael from guardian.co.uk about Rob and the life that he’s living now.
The Deadbolt has a pretty interesting article on whether the Twilight Saga Stars Get Twilight Typecast?:
Will it be any different for the actors of the Twilight Saga? Again, it’s far too early to predict since typecasting is a fickle beast in the entertainment industry. Often when you’re successful in one area, that’s your pigeonhole. And for some actors it’s a lifelong struggle to overcome. Fans of Twilight and New Moon have already fallen in casting love with Robert Pattinson who has truly exemplified the brooding profile of his character’s description from the novels. New Moon is still in production and there are more films to be made in the Twilight Saga, as New Moon and Eclipse are both on the cinematic horizon. Will it be too much Twilight too quick for the Twilight Saga stars?
Taylor Lautner sure did made an impression on his ‘Sharkboy’ director. Read the full article from MTV.
Back in 2005, an up-and-coming Taylor Lautner, then 13-years-old, auditioned to play a young superhero named Sharkboy and instantly won the heart of director Robert Rodriguez. Of course, Lautner got the role in “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D” and would eventually win the hearts of teen girls everywhere as werewolf Jacob Black in the “Twilight” franchise.
Rodriguez says he isn’t at all surprised to see the now 17-year-old Lautner becoming a household name.

Twilight Lexicon posted their Vancouver set visit update:
Alphie and Pel (Lori and Laura) had a fabulous time in Vancouver. A full detailed set report will be out in a few weeks. We have video, audio (the audio is to die for), photos, you name it. It was fabulous!
We can’t really say much more at the moment because we have to wait for an official release date OK from Summit, plus we have a lot of editing to do (did we mention the to die for audio). Summit isn’t being mean or anything, it’s what is known in the industry as an embargo. It’s very standard and this type of relase date in the future thing is imposed on full-time professional journalists on press junkets all the time.
Malicious Mandy has videos of the cast from the movie scene. Reminder: Do not watch the videos if you don’t wish to be spoiled.
Also, more set pictures of the movie scene here at Twilight Gossip.
Kristen says Hi to fans, watch the video below:
Thanks to RPattzNews!
Twilight/New Moon News
Teen Vogue has an article comparing Robert in Twilight and How To Be about the fashion wise for both movies. They also asked which role did Rob look better?
Twilight Examiner has a movie review of How To Be (contains spoilers):
While I had no doubt that Robert Pattinson would bring to the world an interesting and complicated character in How To Be, I simply could not anticipate how clever, awkward, and frustrating the film (and the plight of its wayward and romantically lost character Art) would be.
Watch the BTS of How To Be:
Moviefone has a new Rob interview about his upcoming biopic film, Little Ashes:
Who would you love to tour with, if you were going to do a tour as a musician? Rob: I’d quite like to tour with Kings of Leon. I think they’re pretty cool.
What has been your craziest fan experience? Rob: There was one quite weird thing, I was in a Blockbuster the other day, and I hadn’t realized it was the day the ['Twilight'] DVD was coming out, and there were these two — no one recognized me in that place — and there were these two 8-year-old girls who turned up with their parents. They were picking up their preordered DVDs, and they were just shaking and crying just because they got their DVD. I thought that was pretty incredible, I hadn’t seen anything like that before … I mean, I have when it’s in person, when it’s meeting me. But just to pick up a DVD, that was kind of crazy.
Emily Browning was Stephenie Meyer’s choice to be Bella. Speaking to MTV, Emily clears up the rumours about herself and Twilight. Read it all here.
Browning is eager to finally tell her side of the “Twilight” tale. “Maybe I should set it straight a little bit, because there are so many rumors flying around,” she said. “People are coming up to me and saying, ‘Oh, my God. You turned ['Twilight'] down?’ and all this horrible stuff!
“What actually happened is that I was asked to audition — not take the part, but to just audition — shortly after ‘The Uninvited’ had finished filming,” the actress said. “And I’m not the type of person who can just work back-to-back. So I was just exhausted, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, but I just can’t sign on to a trilogy right now.’ “
Access Hollywood with Top 5 Hollywood Abs. Guess who’s No.1?
Ashley Greene is looking forward to Italy. She taking a break from filming New Moon now. It looks like she has a new short hair cut! Watch the video here from Access Hollywood.
Justin Guarini (Runner-up of American Idol Season 1) has a new song in which he hopes to be in the New Moon OST. Listen to ‘I Can’t Live’:
Here’s a new song that I, along with two of Nashville’s finest writers- Shaye Smith and Tammy Hyler- put together expressly for the soundtrack of “New Moon”. If you like it, share it, and ask for it to be put in the new Twilight movie.
Vancity Allie has an awesome blog entry – New Theatre Set, Costumes and Action At New Moon Set:
@amyburrows and I had a great night out at the new theatre set for Twilight’s New Moon in Vancouver. They are filming all the exterior shots at this theatre. Again, two scenes happen here… one where Bella and Jessica go to Port Angeles for a movie, and a second scene where Bella, Mike, and Jacob have that awkward movie date with that scary movie, “The Dead Come Back.”
The crew and security at the set tonight were great. They were very friendly, nice, and appropriately strict. Appreciate you folks doing a great job! Everyone was safe and had fun.
Twilight Book Discussion: Complications
It has been a long, long time since we have another chapter discussion. We have said that we would try to have a chapter discussion every week… but well it didn’t happen. As most of us are busy with school and work, we will try our very best to post a discussion whenever we can. Hopefully we can finish the Twilight book discussion before the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. *fingers crossed*
Anyhow, a few weeks back we posted on Chapter 10: Interrogations. Now we will be proceeding on to Chapter 11: Complications.
“Hey, Bella,” called a familiar, husky voice from the driver’s side of the little black car.
“Jacob?” I asked, squinting through the rain. Just then, Charlie’s cruiser swung around the corner, his lights shining on the occupants of the car in front of me.
Jacob was already climbing out, his wide grin visible even through the darkness. In the passenger seat was a much older man, a heavyset man with a memorable face – a face that overflowed, the cheeks resting agaisnt his shou,ders, with creases running through the russet skin like an old leather jacket. And the surprisingly familiar eyes, black eyes that seemed at the same time both too young and too ancient for the broad face they were set in. Jacob’s father, Billy Black. I knew him immediately, though in the more than five years since I’d seen him last I’d managed to forget his name when Charlie had spoken of him my first day here. He was staring at me, scrutinizing my face, so I smiled tentatively at him. His eyes were wide, as if in shock or fear, his nostrils flared. My smile faded.
Another complication, Edward had said.
Billy stared at me with intense, anxious eyes. I groaned internally. Had Billy recognized Edward so easily? Could he really believe the impossible legends his son had scoffed at?
The answer was clear in Billy’s eyes. Yes. Yes, he could.
1. From your first impression of Billy Black, what do you think of him? And why did you think Billy gave such a response to Bella? “His eyes were wide, as if in shock or fear, his nostrils flared.“?
2. Apart from the ‘complications’ in this chapter, Edward had asked Bella a few questions and one of them was what was her favourite gemstone. What is your favourite gemstone and if you do know it, what is your birth stone?
3. “It’s twilight. It’s the safest time of day for us.” Why do you think Edward said this? Furthermore, what is the safest or favourite time of the day for you?
Twilight Inspiration: The Cullen Straw
Recently, Twilight Singapore received an entry for our Twilight Inspiration. We thought that this is an awesome artwork done by our fellow Twilighter, Evon.
Artist’s comments – A flash-based digital comic for my 3D project presentation to explain my product – The Cullen Straw (based on the novel Twilight). It’s a bit of a parody of the movie actually.
Here’s a screencap:
Click here to see The Cullen Straw!
Note: Turn on your speakers…you will hear a familiar music piece!
I started on this project about more than 4 months ago, after I was inspired by Twilight and henceforth conceived the idea. The product was hand-made by myself using foam board and plastic straw, and so was the storyboard, hand-drawn and inked - Evon.
Be sure to check out the actual product model!
Thanks Evon for sharing The Cullen Straw with us! To all Twilighters out there, if you have any other Twilight inspirations and would like to share it with the rest, just drop us an email and we’ll feature them here!
