Taylor Lautner: Buffed Up Photo Gallery
I Can't Live [is it worthy?]
Anybody remember Justin Guarini from American Idol Season One? Well, apparently Justin is aiming at contributing to the New Moon soundtrack and has released a special song written specifically from his readings of the Twilight saga and Bella and Edward's experiences. The song has been released on YouTube for a while now and the fever seems to be catching.The song was penned by Shaye Smith, Tammy Hyler, and Justin himself. Question is, is I Can't Live worthy of a spot in the movie and/or the soundtrack? Justin has had hit and misses with his songs for soundtracks, but this one may just be a winner if a suitable scene is found for the song. A wrong song choice however, could blow a scene and the soundtrack.
Justin is a huge Twilight fan so maybe his partiality to the saga aids him in writing a very appropriate song. Below is the song for you for listen to. We recommend that you don't watch the slide show ever as it does not the fit the song and distracts you from what the music and lyrics are saying. Lyrics are not available at the moment.

A Lover Again
Robert Pattinson has now been taped by Summit to act in another movie about star-crossed lovers. Rob will be the lead in Remember Me, a plot line consisting of a young couple whose relationship is tested due to a series of family tragedies. Previously known as Memoirs, more details on the movie as scarce. A lead actress has yet to be named as well. (lucky girl who ever lands that job!)
Award winning director Allen Coulter known for his T.V. dramas will direct with script writer Jenny Lumet (known for her recent Rachel Getting Married) is working on the script. While Summit is saying little to nothing about plot details they are likening the movie to Love Story, the classic 70's romance. Maybe we should all go check that one out...
Now the question we are all asking above and beyond all of the myriad of questions is: when in the world will Rob have time to film ANOTHER movie. Haha. Good question. Clue: that small interim between New Moon and Eclipse. Answer: not quiet two months in between New Moon wrapping up sometime in May and Eclipse starting in August. Not a whole lot of time, huh? The obvious next question would be: how in the world can be expect good, quality acting from an about to be overworked actor? Especially one who is shy of fame (but maybe not the money...).
So, should we be excited over Rob's new job or worried? Will consequences out weigh the benefits or is there nothing to be worried about? Thoughts?

Rob+Nikki=?
Now creating newslines are Rob Pattinson and Nikki Reed who are creating numerous awkward moments for those around them while filming and off set. This evidence makes you wonder if there is a strained relationship between the two that is more than friends.Nikki reportedly crashed one of Rob's recent nights out with cast mates Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, and several other friends at Boneta Restaurant in Vancouver. Rob wasn't the most cordial host: "when Nikki arrived, Robert didn’t get up to say hi,” said an eyewitness. They continued reporting says that Rob ignored Nikki for the entire night put continued to talk and hang with the rest of the cast and friends. When Rob was ready to hit the sack for the night Robert made his goodbye rounds with hugs to everyone minus Nikki. "He gave her a weak high-five as she tried to put on a big smile, but Rob just wasn’t having it," the eye witness finished.
So what is going on with those two? Are they involved and stress is getting to them? Or did friends go haywire and refuse to be at peace? Of course we don't want imagination to run wild and say that they are in a huge love affair...but peaceable dealting between these two are strained, so the questions arise: what in the world is going on?!?
Thoughts Twilighters?

Kellan Lutz, Fame, & Women
Now Kellan Lutz is able to avoid most of the crazy spotlight as Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are still the little ants under the microscope. But Kellan is able to pull off his own share of news. Literally big brother to Edward Cullen, vampire Emmett is the hunk in many ways and his run-ins with fans seem to prove it.According to Kellan the funny thing about Twi fans isn't the teens-its the moms of the teens. The teenage girls aren't the ones to be looking out for: "it's the mums who are the most full-on, I think some of them actually make their daughters stay home," Kellan said to reporters. "And, bless their hearts, they come in these big groups and battle to give us the best presents, (like) candy, picture frames, flowers, baskets of stuff."
Kellan has had his share of fame, similar to Rob Pattinson's, and the details are slightly scandalous. "They will come up and be like, I'm going to hand-cuff you," he said. "Now that is not they way you are meant to do it - you've gotta just throw them on and lock 'em in." (oh my...sounds like Kellan should be in the run against Taylor and Rob!)
Lutz laughed at rumors about how he dates every girl he is ever seen with and said that "right now I have like three girlfriends - it's not true. Next I'll be dating Paris Hilton and Britney Spears." But stud Kellan Lutz has been single since his breakout with girlfriend Kayla Ewell last October.

Edward Holding Renesmee

Here is a photo manipulation done by an amazing Twilight fan. Posted on flickr, it was created by user smirky_turkey. Props to the amazing talent behind this picture!
A visual of what we have all had to imagine up until this point is Edward Cullen holding his daughter Renesmee right after her birth. The gentleness permeating the picture has a wonderful quality as well as the evidence of Edward as a stable mature figure. The only thing missing is Bella. But then again a girl always needs just some Daddy time.
What do you the fans think of it? Let us know and the creator know!

Rob Going Over the Edge?
Twilighters may want to watch how they are obsessing over idol Robert Pattinson. With his over night fame from the hit Twilight he is starting to feel the affects of crazy, unrealistic, and stalking fans. And it is making him a paranoid wreck.On set to do the ET coverage of New Moon that aired tonight Rob said that “I’m always really worried about ruining (friends) lives. Especially with people that aren’t famous. It’s such a massive change. I’m kind of a paranoid wreck. I’ve eaten a lot of room service" (ah oh...maybe fans should be a bit more cautious if they want to continue seeing Rob around).
RPattz continued with "now it’s funny, you can’t even get through to people on the phone. They won’t even let you ring people up. I can’t even ring down to reception and say let (visitors) up. I have to literally go down and carry them."
On another note Robert did promise fans that they would see plenty of Edward during New Moon. “(In the film) it’s an illusion when he (Edward) appears. I think if you do it with voice over as they do in the book, it would end up being quite cheesy. But it’s very subtle, my presence."
With an introvert for a star, Robert Pattinson could very easily be pushed over the edge. If fans want to keep their idol from turning into the next James Dean or Marilyn Monroe or disappear from the spotlight due to paranoia, a small break in his favor maybe just what he needs.

Wearing brown leather cowboy boots with hints yellow paint Jackson created an aura all his own.In high school Jackson fell in love acting when got a shot at the spotlight instead of helping make the stage for someone else to be in the spotlight. "When I started being onstage, I fell in love with it," Jackson said. Jackson showed enthusiasm and couldn't say enough about his band, 100 Monkeys.
"We call it the Monkey House," he joked. "We all play all the instruments. We call it the Monkey Switcharoo." He also commented on his Twilight cast mates: "Kristen and Rob are both very musically inclined, so we would have jam sessions. It was like the Cullen Family Band."
With the grand piano sitting there in the lobby near the NYLON reporter and Jackson, Jackson couldn't help but play a tune as the grand piano seemed to call out to all that passed. But it was Jackson played an actual song much the delight of all present.

Quil to some scandalous effect, imprinted on Emily's two-year-old niece, Claire.

Marcus | Christopher Heyerdahl
Name: Marcus
Type: Vampire
Special Ability: Can sense relationships
About Them: Marcus was once one of the prominent leaders of the Volturi in Volterra, Italy. He has the ability to sense relationships and his former wife who is now deceased, Didyme, had the ability to make others happy. After the sudden and shocking death of Didyme Marcus became extremely apathetic and disinterested in life. As a result he voted against destroying little Renesmee in an 'almost bored fashion' without so much as a glance to the Cullens and their allies. Marcus has jett black hair with the fiery red eyes.
Stephenie Meyer says this of Marcus' ability: "Marcus’s gift is actually quite valuable in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. For example, imagine Marcus on the battle field. He sees the binding ties between the enemy the guard faces. He can tell who the leader is just by watching the way the others are tied to him or her. He can see how to destroy the resistance simply by picking off a few key people. He doesn’t just see romantic relationships, but also ties of family and friends, loyalty and devotion. He can tell if any given person would die for another. Off the field of battle (as the Volturi rarely leave their home), Marcus’s gift is valuable politically (for lack of a better word). It’s an amazing gift in a diplomatic situation. Plus, when you’re sitting on an empire, it’s nice to be able to see when someone’s loyalty starts wavering. Or if anyone is getting too fond of anyone else. Can you see the potential now? Marcus didn’t get where he is with some fluff skill."
Their Early History: Nothing is known about much of Marcus' early history. We do know that he was a vampire not long after Aro's transformation and joined him promptly in the quest for power. After Didyme's transformation by her brother Aro Marcus fell in love and married her but it wasn't long before a jealous and angry Aro murdered his own sister, Didyme, for the sake of power. Whether unfortunately or fortunately, Marcus never knew Aro had been the one who killed Didyme.

New Moon Werewolf Info
From THE USA Today....The Twilight sequel is filming now, and between takes, the actors usually are working out with barbells, doing push-ups or chowing down on steak, Weitz says. "They went through wolf camp together, and they are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff."
No amount of weightlifting, however, would allow them to act out the wolf portion of their performances; the beasts are about the size of horses and race around on all fours.
Instead, the transformations are computer-generated, although one part of each wolf might seem familiar

Remember To Be Rational
With the frenzy of the newest rumor going around that Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer was being sued TwilightBlog.net has been bringing you updates. However, on our most recent update many of you on the site and through our Twitter account took things the wrong way. Please note that at the beginning of the post we put the disclaimer that the newest posting on Yahoo.com of the rumor was not true due to it being modeled after the original fake appearance of the rumor on Max-Dan-Wiz. We still brought it to your attention just so that you currently know what is going on and being said. Misunderstandings such as this occur too much whether in news, character profiles, or simple statements in articles. If you are going to comment please make sure you read all of the way so that you save yourself the trouble of getting upset or angry or making yourself look silly.Here to confirm just for clarifications sake is Stephenie Meyer:
"I am not being sued. No one has contacted me or my publisher to inform either of us that I'm being sued. I never had a roommate named Heidi. There is no professor in the BYU English department named Dr. Peter Benton (though there is a character on ER by that name). And most of all, I began writing Twilight exactly the way I've told people in countless interviews and events for the past six years: I had a cool dream, I wrote it down, writing it down was really fun, so I kept writing until I had a whole book.
The sad thing about this silly situation is that so many legitimate news outlets reported it without doing any research at all to determine if there was any truth to the story. And at least two of these facts are really, really easy to confirm. Particularly, the one about the BYU professor. A simple on-line search can give you that information. Also, a quick call to my publisher would have cleared up the whole lawsuit story. (Kudos to the fansites who did their due diligence and debunked this rumor days ago.)
I guess the moral of the story is that—big surprise—you can't believe everything you read on the internet. Seems like it's April Fool's Day every day on-line. So no worries, the filming of New Moon continues uninterrupted. And, to end this on a bright note, the filming of New Moon continues to be awesome. It's all so beautiful! Chris Weitz is brilliant. Kristen, Rob, and Taylor are beyond words. I have gotten choked up more than once on set due to their amazing performances. I can't wait to see it all put together!
Steph"
So please, remember to be rational, thoughtful, and careful before you let yourself get carried away. Thanks to our viewers for their continual visits and make it a great day! Happy Twilighting!Monday, April 20, 2009

New Moon Filming: Stopped(?)
Stephenie Meyer's former college room mate claims SHE wrote a short story which Stephenie copied and based Twilight on. It basically goes like this:
"Heidi Stanton, who studied with the author at Brigham Young University in Utah, has alleged that a short story she wrote during their college years had a similar plot to Twilight."

Careful Reading Required
Questions and shocks of horror have arisen since several small websites have posted claims that the Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer has been sued. On April 10th the totally credible Max-Dan-Wiz website ran the original story supposedly obtained from the AP claiming that Stephenie Meyer stole the idea for Twilight from her former college roommate. The roommate was suppose to be suing her and a BYU professor was backing the roommate, and that production has halted on New Moon.Quotes from the former roommate had her stating that "Quite frankly, I was shocked when I began watching the movie with my husband last week. I immediately told him that she got that idea from me! I wrote a fictional short story with the same ideas when we were in college together."
Professor Benton was to have said: "The story stood out in my mind, at the time, because it was more advanced than most sophomore students usually presented, also the vampire story stood out because I had recently taught a series of lectures on Brahm Stoker's Dracula. I felt at the time that Heidi had brought a very current and up to date look at a classic subject."
Okay, so if we look at this article we find that:
- The article appeared on April 10 and filming has since continued as we have proof from Friday when Vancity Allie got pictures of the cast in Bella’s birthday party attire
- The article claims an AP wire as their source but there is no such record on the AP
- The article claimed that a Dr. Peter Benton now head of the BYU English Department is backing the claim by the roommate. However, there is no Dr. Peter Benton at BYU (only the character on ER for a few seasons)
- You must be living cave man style if you hadn't noticed for the past several years that you don't notice that your college roommate has hit sucess big time after writing a vampire romance saga (but how can you live like a cave man in Salt Lake City?)
- Somehow we doubt that BYU would love for its students to write about vampire stories with powers and everything else included in the saga....ah huh...
So here is to reminding readers to watch the sources you believe information from! Too many fans fell for this nonsense including other sites. Summit Entertainment has officially commented that that "this rumor is certainly NOT true. Please let your readers know."
Bon voyage and happy proofing!
Alec | Cameron Douglas Crigger
Name: Alec
Type: Vampire
Special Ability: Blocks the senses
About Them: A member of the Volturi's guards, Alec is able to block people's senses. His extremely powerful gift can make people blind, deaf, and numb to any feeling if he wishes to. Unlike many of the vampires his gift is visible and it appears in the form of a clear hazy mist. We learn of Alec's power in Breaking Dawn when he attempts to use it on the Cullen family's gathered witnesses. However, the mist hit Bella's 'shield' and went around it as Bella's shield was a bubble protecting the people gathered. Alec did not retract his mist for the entire confrontation in the field as he constantly looked for holes or weak spots in Bella's shield. Twin to Jane, Alec is nearly identical with the slightly darker hair and lips that aren’t quite as full.
Their Early History: The Volturi early on had spot the young human twins Jane and Alec and saw them as potential people to change. However, frightened humans threatened to burn the twins at the stake so Aro was forced to change them sooner then he wished to as he wanted them to be older.

Why Edward? (From the Perspective of a Non-Edward Fanatic)
Girls swoon at even the slightest mention of Edward Cullen or Robert Pattinson. They begin acting in a frenzy, as if he were actually appear *poof* right before their eyes any second. Day dreams are filled with inappropriate fantasizing and dreams...well, lets not go there. But what is it about Rob/Edward that attracts such a following?Physique: Yeah right. He's skinny, almost too skinny. The vast majority of girls if they had to pick a hott guy out of the crowd would pick the medium build with muscle but not too much. Something similar to Brad Pitt, Karl Urban, Eric Bana, or Kellan Lutz but not the skinny geekish bodied guy. So if you wouldn't pick his body type out of the crowd to identify him as the sexiest guy alive then his looks aren't what is winning the girls over.
Verbal Communication: Well, he doesn't say a whole lot. But when he does it is either 1) awkward beyond belief (yes, admit it) or 2) so cute in the movie but if your man tried to say it to you you would burst out laughing because he's not the old romantic type so when it comes out of his mouth it sounds utterly ridiculous. So if you can't mimic his words in real life and be able to apply the same meaning then they are worthless. Next.
Social Skills: This is debatable. Depending on whether or not you are an introvert or an extrovert. For the extrovert his social skills, aka: lack there of, would drive you crazy. He is awkward in public (for being so darn old he should know better) and can't hold a halfway decent conversation. For the introvert they might be a perfect couple. Imagine too people always too awkward to talk to each other or leave the house. Hey, it might work. So the social skills is probably not the winner here.
Abilities: Well the skinny guy in general (we will disregard the fact that he is a vampire) isn't very strong. So no getting picked up and carried romantically will happen. Gym-you could probably beat him if not lift the same weight. He is smart so he could have a nice/pretty sweet income (think of a house with a maid and gardener...nice). Ohhh...but those piano skills. Now must girls would swoon over having a pretty well written lullaby written just for them. So that could earn some stars. Then there is the crazy driving. A turn off, you would always be worried for your life and thinking you would be dead at every turn. Not so much. But in general he earns a pretty big cookie for those composing skills.
Mannerisms: They may be last, but they are not least. He acts like what few girls, if any see today. Raised in the early 1900's when respect for women was prevalent in society, Edward/Robert has not let go of his good old fashion morals in a moral losing
society. He always holds the door for Bella, he walks with her (not ahead and not behind), he refuses to give in to his desires or hers for the sake of Bella's honor, he protects her when she is actually threatened (not get jealous type of junk protecting), and he believes in putting her dreams first (ahead of his own). To most girls these underlying tones are subtle since they do not know the root cause of these actions. But these are the things that are appealing to girls. Being respected. His gentlemanly ways score high points and cause girls to cry out for Edward to "bite" them. You could put an ugly guy in as Edward and still have girls thinking him so "friggin' hott" and "sexy" because of the way he treats the ladies.So girls, be honest. Rob/Edward is not your ideal pick for anything except for the respect he offers. He isn't the new Achilles-instead he is the new dream. The dream that makes women faint at the thought of having a man that actually respects them, puts them first, and is gentle in the way he walks beside her through life.
Sam Uley | Chaske Spencer
Name: Sam Uley
Type: Human/Werewolf
Special Ability: None unique only to Sam except those abilities that are common to werewolves: telepathy with his pack, delayed aging, advanced healing, senses, endurance, durability & strength.
About Them: Sam Uley is the leader of the La Push werewolf pack. His father was, Joshua Uley who abandoned him and his mother when Sam was just a child. Before his transformation into a werewolf Sam was romantically involved with Leah Clearwater, who had been his high school sweetheart. After his transformation their relationship began to unravel as he was forbidden to tell Leah what he had become. Their relationship came to an abrupt halt when Sam imprinted on Leah's second cousin, Emily Young, and began to go back on every promise he had ever made to Leah. Jacob Black during the saga says that Sam feels guilty for betraying Leah feels responsible for the bitter person Leah later becomes. As a wolf Sam is pure black and the largest wolf since he phased/transformed first before the rest of the pack. In Breaking Dawn we are told that Jacob has grown taller than Sam showing. While Sam acts as the packs Alpha that is not his role by blood-this is why Jacob eventually grows larger than Sam as he is the leader of the pack by blood. Jacob shys from that responsibility until Breaking Dawn. In Breaking Dawn Sam becomes annoyed with the Cullen family and quickly judging plans to attack the Cullens on their territory when he believes that the Cullens have changed Bella Swan into a vampire going back on their ancient promise. This is what prompts Jacob to step up to his job as Alpha.
Their Early History: Due to being human there is not much of a past for Sam Uley. He only as the future ahead of him.

Name: Chaske Spencer
Nick Name(s): Unknown
Date of Birth: Unknown
Height: 6' 2"
Hair: Brunette
Eye Color: Brown
Fun Fact: Chaske means “first-born son” in Lakota
Hometown(s): Lewiston, ID
Career: Chaske Spencer has a few pictures under his belt. His first movie was Skins where he played the teen version of Rudy. He then played Eagle Boy in DreamKeeper which fared well as a T.V. movie. He then landed the role of the older Voices That Carries in the well done Steven Spielberg mini-T.V. series Into the West. He now is casted for the role of Sam Uley in the Twilight sequel New Moon due out November 2009.
About Them: Chaske is a Guns n’ Roses fan-or rather-a Guns n’ Roses freak as he labels himself. He has been ever since he was a heavy metal drummer during high school. As a college freshman midway through the first semester he headed off to NYC with no plans to turn back. He wanted something different for himself. And he eventually figured out that that was acting. As Lakota kid he had grown up on reservations and small towns in Montana and Idaho, but he was determined to make it as an actor on the toughest stage of them all. Through numerous trials and errors on stage in New York City, he eventually hit it big time. With the movies.
Quick Quote: "My real heroes are my father and my mother. They’ve always said, ‘don’t let anything stop you because you’re Indian.’ They’ve ingrained that into my sisters and my head. As Native actors, we got to be on our game. You can be stereotyped—with eagles screaming, people expecting you to know which way the wind blows, or that you’re spiritual. Not all of us can do that, you know…”
Embry Call | Kiowa Gordon

Name: Embry Call
Type: Human/Werewolf
Special Ability: None unique only to Embry except those abilities that are common to werewolves: telepathy with his pack, delayed aging, advanced healing, senses, endurance, durability & strength.
About Them: Embry Call is a close friend of Jacob Black throughout most of the Twilight Saga. As a werewolf he has gray fur with dark spots along his back. He is one of Jacob's "wingmen" and offers his whole support in favor of Jacob. It is Embry that calls Bella Swan the nickname "vampire girl" due to her dealings and time spent with the Cullen family. Embry's mom was of the Makah tribe, not the Quileutes. To be a werewolf the traits had to be inherited from father of the Quileute tribe-this caused people to realize he was the half-brother of either Quil Ateara, Jacob Black, or Sam Uley. This immediate revelation after Embry's turning into a werewolf caused stress within the pack since all boys' fathers were married before and at the time of Embry's birth. We never find out who his father is.
Their Early History: Due to being human there is not much of a past for Embry Call. He only as the future ahead of him.

Hating Bella
Twilighters freak out with joy, passion, and love when the name of Robert Pattinson or Edward Cullen is mentioned in any setting. Proclamations of love spew forth and wishful day dreaming instantly begins. Only a few brave people will say the name of Kristen Stewart or Bella Swan knowing the pending doom, wrath, and harsh words to come. Wait a second. Doesn't something sound a little wrong here?While the vast majority of Twis are female, there are quite a few guy fans out there as well. So it seems odd that only Edward Cullen and Robert Pattinson get gushed over. But then again, girls can be more vocal...just ask the girl sitting next to you or the next one that you see walking down the hall. So if we assume that only the girls are speaking up-what is it that is making them scream curses upon Kristen Stewart and Bella Swan?
99.9% of the positive feedback on these two characters is for Pattinson and Cullen. "So freakin hott," "a stud," "auh-mazing actor" and the like adorn comments, posts, and statuses regarding the character of Edward Cullen and the portray-er, RPattz. The other 0.1% show up in the form of "She did an okay job as Bella" and "I like her other movies" on pages about Stewart and Bella Swan. Why is the ratio so unfavorable to one party and completely favorable to the other?
In all honesty this ratio should be 50/50. Let me explain:
Girls will be drawn to Edward/Robert due to his like able charm, good looks, and gentlemanly ways. While he may not be the Brad Pitt or Eric Bana that sweeps all women off of their feet, he can carry his own weight. He is suppose to be a vampire-girls are always drawn to things and people that are mysterious to them and present a new challenge . Enter the vampire. The underlying tones of Edward Cullen during the Twilight Saga is his internal gentlemanly ways from the early 1900's. Few girls even recognize what they are really picking up as they swoon over Robert, but yes, admit it. You are liking the old styled gentleman. So lets give Robert Pattinson and his vampire character, Edward Cullen, 50% of the love.

Bella Swan. Okay, girls, don't you want to BE her? If she is the one who gets this really great guy, wouldn't you want to be imitating her? Not hating her? Just a suggestion. Typically when you see someone achieving the same aspirations you want to achieve (like guys, a job, or grades) you emulate them so that you can get the same results. So, step up to the plate. Who will go first and admit that hate mail, comments, posts, and etc. are not achieving bringing you more happiness. You are not really dissatisfied with how Kristen Stewart played Bella, you just wish you were exactly like her and got the fictional guy...err, vampire. So where is her 50% of the love? Where are her "you are so gorgeous!," "how do you do your hair?," "can you teach me to be smart like you?," and all the other questions that would help girls emulate her to reach the same goals and achievements? Just saying...
So next time you go to write a hate comment just because you can't be like them-get a grip, admit that you are really trying to puff yourself up, and try being positive. Share the love. And stop hating Bella.
Caius | Jamie Campbell-Bower
Name: Caius
Type: Vampire
Special Ability: No Known Power
About Them: Caius is married to fellow vampire, Athenodora. With pale skin that is almost translucent and shoulder length hair white as his skin, Caius moves with such grace that he appears to be floating. He is a leader of the Volturi along with Marcus and Aro who have special abilities each. Caius tends to be the stubborn and demanding one of the Volturri as he was ardent that Bella should not be allowed to leave Italy alive. When Aro allowed Bella to leave Volterra alive under the assumption that Edward planned to change Bella in the near future, Caius was extremely disappointed. Aro, however, assured Caius that they would again try to persuade the Cullen family to join the Volturi. Caius does not have an special gift but he is clever and devises brilliant schemes and provokes those around him into deathly fear.
