Rob is a great Edward (hiccup!)

You know what's so funny about this article? When I read it, I was trying to think of my old Irish alcoholic uncle's name. And then it hit me. Uncle Ed! (no lie!)

We interrupt this Twilight blog...

True Blood. Just watched the Season 2 premiere. I think I've officially dumped Bill Compton for Edward Cullen. Loved the show but so did NOT love the last scene with Bill and Sookie. Yuck. I fear they've lost the magic and as a couple have jumped the proverbial shark. I will say HOO-RAY for Lafayette! Yey! He's alive! And Eric might be my new fav True Blood vampire. Stay tuned...

"That's too much hair for one woman!"

I love the bald guy so I will ignore the fact that he called Taylor Lautner a vampire. PS - Chelsea, please no more blaspheming...

Why I love Kristen Stewart this week

I've already made no bones about the fact that I am beyond impressed with Kristen Stewart for agreeing to cut off her hair for her role as Joan Jett in The Runaways. But I haven't shared with you my feelings on what she's doing for the fashion sense of today's youth.

When I first started paying attention to Kstew in the media, I was less-than-thrilled with her wardrobe choices. I wanted her to girl it up a bit and maybe trade in the Converse for a day here and there. But I have done a complete and utter 180 - and here's why.

I went to the movies the other day... and my online Twi-bud, Kim, can attest to how (some of) the young girls are dressed at our local movie theater. They tend to look like - how can I put this mildly? BIG FAT HO'S. Pants with rises so low they have to get a Brazilian just to be seen in them. Shirts with so much cleavage showing you could hide your car keys. And I'm talking about kids in highschool, people. But...when I went to the movies the other day, do you know what the kids were all wearing? Skinny jeans - hoodies - and Converse sneakers. They looked like friggin kids and not hookers. It was a beautiful thing. And I am giving 100% credit to Kstew. And PS - I am loving the hair. I think it's fabu. A little framing around the face never hurt anyone and I think it does wonders for her.

As if we CARE?!

Yeah - like this would matter?!

Behind-the-Scenes Coolness

It must be Video Day because I cannot stop posting them. Thanks to kyleandjackieo.com for this way cool behind-the-scenes video with copious amounts of Jacob-muscles. Never fear, you'll get your Edward fix at the end...

Why I love youtube

This... cracked me up. "Alice" is KILLING ME with the pitching.

LOST and Edward; Perfect Together

Oh holy hell - here is a LOST parody video - complete with action figures - I found on Lauren's Bite. One word: HILARIOUS. And believe it or not, it's got TONS of Edward mixed in. Even SPARKLING EDWARD! You. Will. Die. And seeing as "Edward" is filming a movie with "Claire" right now, this is even kindof topical.

Uh...it's nothing personal

OK I sortof hate that I'm doing this... because from the beginning I've said this is a blog about Twilight - the books - and that I hate getting all caught up in the actors' lives. And yet - here I am - giving you the latest links to interesting tidbits about them in the media. I guess I'm in New Moon Filming withdrawal... and I need to put SOMETHING out there. But I really hate contributing to the feeding frenzy - because, let's face it - that's what keeps the crazy-assed paparazzi on their tails. And I really do feel bad for them. But then I console myself by telling myself that no one reads this stupid blog and I'm not really doing any damage. But, you know... if any Twilight actors want to contact me to ask me to stop posting this stuff - I'd be all over and and I'd cease and desist immediately. (A girl can try, can't she?) So...without further ado...(aka annoying commentary from me):

Rob P. leaving the Bowery last night

KStew's new hair - I had to post this because I have SICK respect for her for doing this. She looks AWESOME and she looks EXACTLY like Joan!! I dig Joan Jett and have since I was in the 8th grade (Yeah I'm old whatever, get over it) since m'girl is originally from Main Line like me. She and Pink pretty much are primo examples of the tough Philly chicks. (OK Philly Burb Chicks. LOL) I. Love. It.

Kstew and Dakota at the Roxy - love that these two are BFFs. Poor Dakota needs all this limelight after the train wreck that was War of the Worlds. Tom Cruise almost ended her career before her what - 13th birthday?

Ebola is putting it NICELY!!!

Oh holy hell this made me laugh uncontrollably and I am utterly and completely in AGREEMENT with Lainey Gossip on this one. If he dares go near her I will rank on him mercilessly regarding his love of black hoodies. I might even go after "the hands". (Thanks to Jenn M for the tip!)

I. Love. This.

Dear Carlisle,

This cool little page on your website is so cute it makes me want to have your half-breed, fast-growing, long-haired vampire babies. Shhh... Don't tell Esme.

Love,
Carol

Guess who showed up at my doorstep today?!

Jenn M. and Shannon C. - the two of you are PRICELESS and you better believe Edward will be front and center at my 100 Days til New Moon party in August!!!!! Video to follow...

More Vampires?

Twilight meets True Blood meets Dawson's Creek, Dudes. I don't even know WHAT to think about THIS.

ohmygodohmygodohmygod

This... is like 8 million times BETTER than the REAL trailer. Honest to god. It gave me the chills. KUDOS to tiffanyd666. She has truly put together a work of art - AGAIN!

Well ALRIGHT!!

Must throw out huge props to Rob P. who has taken my advice and done a SPECTACULAR job of trying to disguise himself better. Of course, it's not exactly working... but whatev. Love the baseball hat. And I'm thrilled to see he's ditched the black hoodie and all-black ensem for some good, old-fashioned Levi's and an... interesting plaid shirt. He probably should ditch the Wayfarers if he really wants to seal the deal though... but I love my own Ray-Bans and would probably not be able to part with them, either.

Just finished Breaking Dawn. Again.

I realized I've barely mentioned my big Breaking Dawn re-read... probably because I've been taking my time and picking it up here and there. Here are my thoughts at present:

- Caius... is a douche.
- As with the other books, I loved this so much more the 2nd time around. I didn't race through the visiting vampire stuff toward the end and I frankly cannot WAIT to see who they cast in the movie. I would give my left ovary to see a little Jonathan Rhys Meyers action... or possibly a Jude Law casting, perhaps? (And PS I had him on the brain days ago BEFORE they started asking RPattz about him in the media. Word.) OK Back to the book:
- Every time Edward and Jacob have "a moment" I'm so verklempt I want to send someone a sappy Hallmark card.
- Why can't Alice "see" half-immortals? I thought she couldn't "see" things when Renesmee was around because she was tied to Jacob. But she couldn't see Nahuel, either. And if you don't remember who Nahuel is, you need to get your ass in gear and re-read Breaking Dawn, too.
- Why does Stephenie throw Esme so few crumbs in this book? They might as well save their pennies and send poor Elizabeth Reaser back to Grey's Anatomy during the shooting of this movie since she's barely in the book. And believe me, I love her, too. I need more cowbell - and Esme.
- Bella and Edward = Sappy and Sappier in this book. I love 'em - and I loved the book - but man they are so gooey at the end. I half expect them to call each other schnookems and stay up late watching "7th Heaven" reruns.

It is a-ma-zing to me to see the difference between "Breaking Dawn Bella and Edward" and "Twilight Bella and Edward". In Breaking Dawn, Edward's home entertaining the guests on the Steinway while Bella's taking Renesmee to her father's for a lovely afternoon visit (um, not actually. Can we say J. Jenks?) Certainly is a far cry from the high school days when Edward was stalking half the junior class' brains for Bella tidbits in the middle of English class. Or was it Geometry class? Uh oh....I can't remember. And you know what THAT means?! Yup! The big, ol' MIDNIGHT SUN RE-READ!!! Stay tuned!

No no no no no no no no

Nope. Don't like it. AT ALL. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent Kelly Clarkson tune; I dig her a lot. But this song is too angry underneath the surface. Bella did not think this way about Edward leaving. She never ever uttered a negative word about him while he was gone. She was just... sad.

***There is some discrepancy about this song. It's supposedly a demo from 2007 called "Did You" - but I'm not finding anything called "Empty as I Am" so maybe they've renamed the demo? She says Empty as I Am has a "sweet melody" - and this isn't a sweet song. So maybe it's not the right song? If someone can clear this up, please let me know.

Rob and Obama: Perfect Together

GREAT article from MTV about Rob Pattinson's sudden, massive fame. Honestly, it creeps me out to no end. I don't know how he handles it so well. I'll have to ponder that this summer when I'm in the city stalking him with Jenn and Shannon. Oh chill, I'm kidding. Everybody knows I'd rather stalk Jeffrey Dean Morgan...

Rob who?

Thanks to Twilight Moms for putting this interview with Peter Facinelli - aka Carlisle Cullen - on their website and thus reminding me to watch it. He is so adorable I've almost forgiven him for blowing us off in Parsippany. Chelsea Handler is so friggin funny I can't contain myself. I have to laugh that her book "My Horizontal Life" is my BOOK CLUB BOOK for this month. We all complained about having to read too many depressing books involving kids and someone suggested a good smutty book. I was kindof hoping for a smutty romance novel but whatev. She's funny so I'll get some much-needed laughs.

Twilight Guy

OK so this funny dude - Twilight Guy (check out his site) - has a cool little contest going where you can win all sorts of signed Twilight goodness for just subscribing to his youtube channel (that means push a little "subscribe" button - not too difficult). So of course, I did. Here's what I want: The signed copy of Twilight (with the signed New Moon coming in second) or the signed photo of Kellen Lutz riding with his head out of the hummer; one of my absolutely FAVORITE shots from the movie. SO Emmett.

I have been playing with some possible video ideas for a while now. If I make something, it might feature Jenn M. and Shannon C. - and maybe everyone who comes to my 100 Days 'til New Moon party - if they'll give me their consent. (insert evil laughter here)
