When vampires collide

This absolutely made my day. If you are a fan of True Blood, you will crack up. Stephen Moyer who plays Vampire Bill Compton on "True Blood" said Rob Pattinson is the "Slim-fast, Diet Coke of Vampires". HOW FUNNY IS THAT?! Now he's obviously talking about Edward, but still. But wait. He's talking about Edward? OUCH! Bill Compton WISHES he could be Edward Cullen. He should just PIPE DOWN and go back to Sook-ayyyy! PS - How cool would it be to see an Edward/Bill bite-off? I'd offer up some pretty sick coin to see that.

New Moon book cover DELICIOUSNESS!

Can. Not. BREATHE!!!! Edward's in the moon. Did you hear me?! Edward is in the %$#@ing MOON for the love of god. I am verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. There are 149 days until New Moon. Discuss.

This takes the cake. Ba dum bum.

Pretty amusing little Twihard tale. This would so happen to me.

Go. See. The. Proposal.

I went to see The Proposal tonight with Jenn M. and Shannon. (And must throw a shout-out to Desiree! Thanks for the candy!)

If you think I'm silly enough to be one of those people who would see The Proposal just to see the New Moon trailer, you are absolutely right.

What transformed in front of my eyes was mind-boggling. Not just the trailer; the audience. I have never, EVER seen such a huge crowd of people go nuts over a movie, let alone a 90 second trailer. When Jacob appears on the screen in all his nekidness, holy cow... everyone flips OUT.

Before I go to bed... I have to do two things.

One - I have to throw another shout-out to Maria at the Bonefish Grille because she is such a faithful Twihard and it's always fun to go and discuss the books with her.

Two - I have a confession. I hate to admit this - but I can't stop myself. Are you ready? OK - here we go. Rob Pattinson is BE-YOND beautiful on the big screen while playing Edward Cullen. I was so totally not prepared for that. All the telling myself he's "just a hoodie-wearing kid" went out the window for 90 seconds. I cannot imagine what I'm supposed to do with 2 hours. Thank god he's in South America for most of the film.

And that, my Twihard friends, is all I've got to say about that. Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

PS - The movie was actually really good!

MY proposal

I have to wonder how much of THIS is due to Twihards wanting to see the New Moon trailer on the big screen since it's confirmed to be showing before "The Proposal". Normally I'd think that was ludicrous. But since I am going with my friends on Monday for that exact reason (and OK a margarita or two beforehand...) I think it might actually be possible. Check this out from deadbolt.com:

New Moon Trailer Gets a 'Proposal'

Beyond the Twilight Saga, Twilight and New Moon, every now and then a trailer boosts the box-office receipts of a movie that may not quite have performed as well at theaters as expected. In fact, one highly anticipated trailer puts butts in the seats ahead of a completely unrelated movie. This week it was the Twilight sequel New Moon, which previewed at an advance screening of the latest Sandra Bullock comedy The Proposal, which hit theaters on Friday, June 19.

Keep a close eye on the final weekend box-office for The Proposal. If it breaks records, the final numbers may reflect the true power of The Twilight Saga.

Yet another New Moon Playlist update

I added a couple songs to my New Moon playlist. Um, does anyone else think it would be way rad if Robert Pattinson recorded an acoustic version of "The Killing Moon" from Echo and the Bunnymen? Cuz I do. And PS this is SO going on my Eclipse and/or Breaking Dawn playlists. Read the lyrics. It's so Jacob singing to Bella about when Edward will turn her. I don't even know why I have it on my New Moon playlist. I just... dig it. But I digress. Another song I added is "Pray the Stars" by Joe Hedges. Beautiful song. Reminds me of when things are going so well with Jacob and Bella but you know it can't last. He also has another song that is GORGEOUS called "Mitral Valve Prolapse" that wasn't available at the playlist site or I'd have added it. "I try but nothing's ever gonna fill me up" - so totally perfect for the hole in Bella's chest. I actually emailed him and told him to submit it to Summit. What's there to lose? Anyway - another song I added is "A Forest" by the Cure. But instead of playing this when Edward leaves Bella, I'd play it when Bella is looking for the meadow, with or without Jacob. I would say I feel the strongest about "Dream On" from Kelly Sweet being played while Bella is lying in the forest after Edward dumps her. oooooh SUCH an impact. I'm also very attached to "Summer Skin" from Death Cab for Cutie early in the film. Notice how - in the beginning of New Moon - Stephenie Meyer wrote that Bella had the best summer of her life, but never really gave us any details? That's why this mellow song would be perfect in the beginning. You can actually feel the end of summer while listening to it. It's just totally sad - and foreshadows what's to come...

How cute is this?

Taylor Lautner is in Toronto to present at the Much Music awards. While out-and-about in the city, he stopped into an ice cream store with his family. Is that adorable or what?

PS - Dear Taylor,

Love the black hoodie look. Just please don't overdue it like RPattz.

Your pal,
Carol

Happy Birthday, Edward Cullen

No photos, since they don't exist. No commentary, because nothing needs to be said. Just a quiet little "Happy Birthday" to the greatest character who ever walked into our lives via the written page...

PETER FACINELLI WON THE TWITTER CONTEST!

Yeyyyyy!!! I WANT THAT TWILIGHT CHAIR BACKING!!!!!!!

The Runaways

A couple questions. 1 - How happy do you think Kstew is that they didn't make her sport THIS 'do for the movie? YIKES. 2 - Which one is Cherie Currie who Dakota is playing? I am happy to say The Runaways were slightly before my time. I'm thinking I was rockin' the 5th or 6th grade when this was made...

I Love Rock and Roll Part Deux

I realized some of you younger TwiFans aren't really that familiar with Joan Jett - so I thought I'd suggest some cool vids for you to check out. "I Love Rock and Roll" was big when I was in the 7th or 8th grade. Check out how early on in the video, the band had to actually act. Not as much splicing and perfection like in today's videos. Another good Joan Jett tune was "Bad Reputation", which, might I say, has graced my iPod for quite some time. Clearly it was no big thing to see someone wearing black leather skinny pants and a tight blouse with puffy sleeves at that time. But one song that stands out that Joan Jett did was a remake of Tommy James and the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover". Check it out. She was Just. So. Cool. And I know Kstew is going to pull it off.

No. Way.

New Moon Makeup. They used it on RPattz. Maybe that's what's got all the chickies' knickers in a twist...

I Love Rock and Roll.

While some people are posting info about Rob Pattinson and his barely happened cab encounter... or photos of him kissing Emelie de Ravin on the beach... or filming in his skinny tie... I would MUCH rather post about THIS very cool union between Joan Jett and mini me. It's outrageous how much Kristen Stewart has JJ spot-on in these shots. I am really looking forward to the film. Rememeber me? Not so much. But that might change tommorrow... depends on my mood.

More Twitter goodness...

If you find yourself sick to death of Rob Pattinson's fan woes - but still want to get your Twilight on - you can mosey your rear-end over to Twitter and follow some other awesome Twilight series actors:

Click here to follow "Charlie Swan".

Click here to follow "Billy Black".

Click here to follow "Carlisle".

All these guys are a lot of fun to follow. They're funny and intelligent and don't seem to take themselves too seriously (if at all). And they're all integral parts of the Twilight series films. So go follow 'em!

omg please follow Carlisle!!!

I WANT THAT CHAIR BACKING!!!!!

WTF??????

Dear RPattz,

It's clear in this scary-assed video that you need new security detail. My 4 year old could protect you better than this.

Love,
Carol

I have been accused in the past of being "protective" of Robert Pattinson because I don't believe most of the trash people write about him. I found this video to be disgusting and the over-protective mom in me comes out in a big way when I see it. Dude he's got BOTH hands in his hair. Clearly he's nervous. Get OFF of him and let him do his job. I can only imagine how his poor parents feel when they see something like this. These freaky aggro chicks were TOUCHING him. FIRE THE BODYGUARDS because they SUCK.

Happy almost birthday Edward

OK so this is sooooo silly of me to point out but I had to. Saturday - June 20th - is Edward Cullen's birthday. Get your silly on and have a drink in honor of the greatest fictional vampire who ever never lived!

Twitter me this, Carlisle

OK I wasn't going to post this because I have like 5 readers and some Twilight sites have 5 million. LOL But every little bit helps. If you are on Twitter, make sure to follow Peter Facinelli who plays Carlisle. He made a bet with a friend that he could get 500K followers by Friday at Midnight. So far he's in the 214K range. If he loses, he has to hand over the back of his director's chair from Twilight - and that would suck. If he wins, his buddy has to dance down the street in LA, dressed in a bikini, singing "All the Single Ladies" by Beyonce. And that would rule. And PS - I was following him long before I heard about this bet because he is truly a genuinely nice guy. I love to read his updates about planting trees in his front yard or watching Blues Clues with his kids. Makes me feel a little better about my boring life. ;)

Kstew, love her or... not

Seeing as I'm one of those girls who really likes Kristen Stewart, I really hope she cuts down on the Camels. I am not one to lecture anyone about smoking... and people who do get on my nerves. But seriously - if you are chain smoking Camels at 19... I am afraid for you. And your lungs.

Whoa. Scary aggro chicks attack Rob Pattinson.

OMG. Scary pics from Lainey Gossip of a bunch of Twilight fans throwing themselves at RPattz in NYC. Although, frankly, he doesn't seem that upset. He's either really good at keeping up appearances... or finding this all somewhat comical. Except the one who attacked him from behind. She's definitely cuckoo for cocoa puffs. And OK maybe the one who's taking her picture with him. She's a bit wonky. But I think he's actually digging the chick with the hat. Maybe it's just me. And I LOVE the stop sign in the background. So very fitting.

***UPDATE - after seeing the video I have totally changed my tune and realize I was a bit too nonchalant about this. God bless this guy for dealing with all this BS. I would be losing my shizzle if people were touching me like that. I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw the video.
