Take. Deep. Breaths.

Thanks to Lauren from my favorite Twilight site - Lauren's Bite - for being the way cool chick she is and posting this for all to (gank) see.

Things that make you go "hmmmm"...

So is this really "Carlisle's" new website? Lots of cute updates about barbecues and Jenny and yoga. I rarely trust anyone on Twitter, except Jamie Campbell Bower, because his posts are too f'd up to be fake. Srsly.

I wonder if Peter F. is gearing up for his twitour where an unknown amount of Twilight fans will get their picture taken with him. Not that I pre-purchased a photo or anything. What kind of loser does that?

Dear "Edward", BRING IT! Love, Carol

Has anyone seen my tongue? Because I lost it when it fell right the hell out my mouth.

* Thanks to Jenn D. for ganking this photo from Shannon G. who ganked it from someone on Facebook who ganked it from lord knows who. ;)

Uh, I'll have what she's having.

New Moon Playlist UPDATED

I am so positively GIDDY over my New Moon playlist... I want to marry it and have its' babies. Please let me know what you think. I'm curious. Commenting isn't scary, I promise. Try it!

We interrupt this Twilight blog...

...to bring you a little TRUE BLOOD, Baby! June 14th! BRING IT!

Official "New Moon" site

Ooooh - New Moon webby goodness from Summit.

Sigh. Rob SO doesn't get it.

So I just read this national ledger article where Rob P is talking about how he can't go out because everyone recognizes him... even with his hoodie and sunglasses... and he just can't figure out why. Gee. I wonder. And while musing that maybe it's his nose that's giving him away, he comments that girls don't flirt with him, but are scared to death to talk to him. To this I say:

HELLO?! MCFLY?! How is it POSSIBLE that you don't understand what's happening here, Rob? They don't really want you. They think they want you... but they really want Edward Cullen. And you aren't Edward Cullen. You just play him on TV. And if you don't want them to notice you, it might be a good idea to trade in your black jeans, black shoes, black hoodie and black hat for a nice pair of faded jeans... and maybe a green or possibly blue t-shirt. Or if you really want to be like Edward Cullen, you could sport a pair of khakis and a white v-neck, which is REALLY how Edward Cullen would dress. Not in black from head to toe, which Stephenie Meyer clearly stated he NEVER WORE. But that's my beef with the Twilight producers/director; not you. So either get some color into your wardrobe... or suck it up, Silly!

WTF?!

So I just found this on entertainmentwise.

This version has Bella and Jacob flipped. And it makes a hell of a lot more sense, don'tcha think?! (Except Bella's fingers. They're still really long and freakish.) Bella's choosing Edward over Jacob and Jacob's not happy. Exactly. Edward should probably be in the back but whatevs. This is still a better poster, even if it was Photoshopped. I still don't get the fists... but there was a lot of odd fist-balling going on in the books. So we'll overlook that, mmmkay?

Finally, something new!

Hi Mercedes - sorry - the video I uploaded got yanked from my site. I don't even remember who it was from - but they must not like their footage being shared. So testy! I'd think they'd like some PR. I know I would! But they've probably got 5 million viewers...whereas I only have about 6 or so. ;)

At any rate - here is a link to those new Summit photos. (Although you've probably seen them by now!) The original video I posted was only talking about these photos - so you'll spend less time looking at these than watching that! It's a win/win situation! :)

Have you seen this?

Kindof funny. Kindof cheesy. Kindof stupid. And what's with the stripes?

Cam Gigandet vs. Twilight Fans from Cam Gigandet

GOOD New Moon Artwork

Since I've been less-than-thrilled with the "official" New Moon artwork, I thought I'd post some fan artwork that I like a lot. All of these are from deviantart.com. What do you think?

From SaveMe620. Absolutely beautiful and should win an award of some sort.

From twlt4hcore. I LOVE how crazed Edward looks. And Jacob looks normal. And Bella looks depressed. All how they SHOULD look!































From Grodansnagel. I dig this. No Jacob - but Edward is all ghost-like and surreal and that makes me giddy with delight.

Survery Says! No, Thank you!

I give you... the first original New Moon artwork. And I warn you; I'm not happy.

Forks or bust!

Check out this great article about Forks (in the Penninsula Daily News) from Marcia Bingham of the Forks Chamber of Commerce. I totally want to go to Forks and La Push. Let's just get that out on the table right now. The TwiTour will be fun - but how much would I love a girls' weekend in the Olympic Peninsula?! WHO'S WITH ME?!

Dear Nikki, You rock. Love, Carol

This is... in a word: awesome. I feel so much better, knowing we have an advocate in that cast who is pushing for them to stay true to the books. Check out this excerpt from an MTV interview with Nikki Reed:

"Reed did promise us, however, that she won't be going to Italy with hopes that Weitz will see her on set and decide he might as well interject Rosalie into some additional scenes. "Absolutely not," she promised. "No. I feel so strongly about them sticking to the books.

"In fact, there was a scene in a very early draft of the 'New Moon' [script] that they had invented that was not in the books," Reed revealed. "And there was a discussion, and that scene is no longer in the script.

"I don't want to be in more of the movie just to be in more of the movie — and I think if they do that with any of the other actors that it is ridiculous, because I think that the only way that we can succeed is to stick to the books," she insisted. "If you are worried about how to please the fans, you will fail if you don't stick to the books."

LOVE her! (said in my high-pitched voice). Forget what I said about the bad dye job they gave her in Twilight. It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that she - and hopefully others in that cast - are working to make sure the films are as close to the books as possible. And that rocks.

The big Breaking Dawn re-read...

"Like a junkie with a limited supply, the day of reckoning was coming for me. The more hits I took now, the harder it would be when my supply ran out."


Dear Stephenie,

My supply will soon run out. Again. How many times can I re-read the Twilight series? (OK, don't answer that.) Please, oh please, won't you go to your quiet place and start writing something Twilight-related again? Whether you finish Midnight Sun... or continue where Breaking Dawn left off... or start a kick-ass prequel of Carlisle's turning or Edward's life before being turned... it's all good. All of it. You have lifetimes of material to work with. So please, for the love of all that's holy, work with it.

You most sincere and humble (addict) servant,
Carol

A Few Good Twihards

So I went out with some of my Twilight buds last night. Jen L, Shannon C, Jen M. Great women - who are just as over-the-top as me where Twilight is concerned. (Well, maybe not Jen L. She wouldn't take pictures of yellow Porsche's in parking lots.) Oh and note to self - COSMOS ARE THE DEVIL. But what's funny is that we feel like we have to whisper in the parking lot at school - or go out at night - to discuss Twilight. Because Twilight mania is going on everywhere - yet still a somewhat underground thing. And I have become a major supplier. A Twilight go-to girl, if you will. I feel like Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men", doing a dirty job that I love - in secret. My existence - while grotesque and incomprehensible to you - saves lives. The lives of women who just need an escape from kids or work. So I chat up Twilight or write a blog or buy the books for my friends and family, just to spread the word. And here's the bottom line. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you WANT me on that wall. You NEED me on that wall. Yup. I deal Twilight. And I like it. PS - Guess who grew up in my little area of the Jersey shore? If you guessed Jack Nicholson, you are correct. He came back a few years ago to go to his 50th high school reunion. Once a local, always a local.

Eclipse Trailer

Oooh dang. Pretty darn good.

Happy Birthday, Rob!

Of all days for a Twilight blog owner's internet connection to go on the fritz, Robert Pattinson's birthday should NOT be one of them. (Cablevision sucks in ways internet providers should not suck.) So - sorry I'm a bit late in getting to the big webby party... but I wanted to throw a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY out there to our favorite vegan vampire. Now get out there and party (preferably in front of lots of camera phones) so I'll have something to blog about tomorrow!

Awesome New Moon Trailer

Here's a new fan-made New Moon trailer. Honest to god, it made me cry. I am so sad over Jacob right now (maybe because I'm early on in my reread of Breaking Dawn) and this just drove a knife right through my heart. I am BEYOND STOKED for this movie (insert nervous laughter here).
