NEW New Moon Trailer
Dear Jacob,
It's not my birthday. But can I ask for something? Kiss me.
No wait, you're 17. Nevermind.
Love,
Carol

Teen Cheese Awards
OK so while Tom was asleep on the couch next to me I decided to just check FOX and see what was happening on the awards. Oddly enough, Josh Duhamel was introducing the cast of Twilight. Wow. Just... wow. It was an odd ensem. The first thing I noticed was Justin Chon - aka Eric ("La Push baby... La Push"). I noticed him because boyfriend was wearing a short sleeved shirt, a scarf around his neck and black Buddy Holly glasses. And what I'm noticing in this video from the awards is a new Rob Pattinson Patented hairdo which he runs his hands through no less than twice while speaking. That seems to be the thing to do these days. At any rate, my sister refers to him lovingly as Bobby Trendy - and the title
just seemed to suit him well this evening. Anyway, they all got up to accept the award, and as usual, Taylor Lautner sounded like he was running the show. Totally professional. Now here's where it gets weird. When I watched it on TV, Rob Pattinson sounded like a complete dope. Like he couldn't think of what to say and was laughing at inappropriate times. Yet when I watched this clip from the BBC News site, I realized they cut up his speech. So we only saw the beginning - and the end - but it seemed like he just didn't know what to say. So yeah...I'm thinking I'd be mad if I were him. I'm also thinking someone in Teen Choice Editing isn't too much of a fan...
Breaking Dawn Hilarity
My comedian sister, Jill, is reading Breaking Dawn... and just referred to Bella and Edward's daughter as "RENESMERELDA".

Laurens-bit the dust?!
OK I just went to check Laurensbite - AND IT WASN'T THERE! I admit, I haven't checked it in a few days, so if she said she was pulling it down, I don't know anything about it. I checked her Twitter page and that's gone, too!!! SOB! She's my absolute favorite Twilight site on the planet (and lord knows there are many.)
If anyone knows what's going on with Laurensbite, please let me know! :(

Twilight wins BIG at the Teen Choice Awards
NICE. Twilight won 11 Teen Choice Awards last night (big shocker.) The awards air tonight on FOX so they'll have 24 hours to bleep out Britney and Madonna, but it's not necessary for the Jonas Brothers, gosh darnit. SET THE DVRs!

Let's get this party STARTED!
So check it out - many cast members are in Vancouver already for Eclipse and you can feel the lurve jump right off the web page! I hate to say it, but it's somewhat refreshing to see the rest of the Cullen clan (as well as Riley and Miss new thang Bryce Howard who looks awesome) - WITHOUT Rob and Kristen. These people deserve their rightful comeuppance. There is more to the Twilight series than Edward Cullen. (ROFLMAO did I just say that???) A big THANK YOU goes out to Alison Genet over at Twifans for the awesome post. And PS - I am so, so sorry Rachelle. I love you and I miss you as Victoria. I truly do. You were ROBBED and I hope you don't take this shit lying down. Not only am I upset for you, but I'm upset for me and everyone else in the Twilgiht blogosphere. It's uncomfortable to keep saying "I dig Bryce but I miss the hell out of Rachelle". Bottom line - I dig Bryce - but Rachelle IS Victoria. No further comment, your honor.

I am so not kidding..
My sister and I had a debate today, which started over email and ended in a phonecall. We were actually discussing - get this - whether or not Edward Cullen would ever go commando. No, I am so not kidding. It started because my sister, Jill, is feverishly reading Breaking Dawn so she can come to my "100 Days til New Moon" party on Wednesday. Here's how it all went down:
Tracey: Are you still reading????
Jill: They're on Esme Island
Me: Oh mother of god.... to merely be the tree he leaves his undies on when he goes for the moonlight swim...
Tracey: How long have they been there???
Me: "a while..." ;)
Tracey: Undies??? MY Edward goes commando.
Me: Edward Cullen is way too high brow to go without undies. He knows his real mother would be mortified if he didn't wear any - and he would have ended up mocked on the Chicago society pages if it was ever found out. PS - Ok then his PANTS he hung over the tree branch!
I just thank god I'm not alone in my Edward Cullen obsession.

Vampires. They're not just for breakfast anymore!
I received a very cool email today from Van Jensen who has written a new vampire graphic novel called Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer. It's coming out in September and the main graphic is in our favorite Twi-colors. (Sounds like my decor for my "100 Days til New Moon" party. ooh another gratuitous mention!) Sooo...for all of you who dig graphic novels about vampires, you'll definitely want to check this out!
My Eclipse playlist needs some explanation
So I know I only have 3 songs. But I couldn't wait. I had to post it. I'm impatient like that. All the actors are headed to - or in - Vancouver. And I am a giddy little girl.
OK so I just finished telling Jenn M via email that I am loving Ray LaMontagne right now. And it's no coincidence that his style makes me think of RPattz' musical style. When I was on vacation, I was trying to get my internet connection to work, and OK maybe saying a bad word or two under my breath. When all the sudden I heard a song on a commercial on TV and whipped my head around to stare. I swear I thought I was hearing Rob Pattinson. But I wasn't; I was hearing Ray LaMontagne. And that's when I started researching his music and realizing "Holy CRAP this guy is good." Since I'm only happy when it rains (Thank you Shirley Manson and Garbage) I absolutely love the pain that comes through in his music. OK so I'll shut up because some of you are saying "What in god's name does this have to do with Twilight?!" But I LOVE his song "Burn" and put it on my Eclipse soundtrack from Edward's perspective, while Bella's trotting around La Push with Jacob. And kissing him in the forest. Don't get me started. But check out the lyrics:
To see you now with him
is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
an I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Mother of god. It's like Edward just jumps out of the page and cries on your shoulder when you're listening to this. Le sigh. I think I need to read the saga all the damn hell over again now. Not even Sookie can save me! ;)

A little something about My Eclipse Playlist
Yes, I do mean to have both versions of "Ain't No Sunshine". One for Edward when Bella is at the bonfire with Jacob. And one for Bella when Edward's hunting and she's laying in the dark in his room on his couch. I get chills just thinking about this. And as much as I love the Bill Withers version, how about a ROB PATTINSON version?!?
That would be... awesome. (said like Jim Carrey)

Fabu New Moon Trailer
Feast thine eyes on this New Moon trailer from "Sanyiaa" on Youtube. Better than the real one!
Major delving...
I swear I don't know if I'll make it through this movie unscathed.
1st, read this article. Then go and read the last paragraph in my blog post from April.
Then come to my house bearing tissues and slap me across the face and yell "SNAP OUT OF IT!!!"

It's ON!!!
OK this photo and story from newmoonmovie.org about Kristen Stewart getting prepped (physical, wig-fitting) to head to Vancouver for Eclipse filming made me SQUEEEEE like the silly fanchick I am (fangirl is a little too kind considering my age). And look at her! She's smiling! SMILING! .... KSTEW! No more Joan-tude! No more dark clothes! It's a brand new day.

Hardwicke vs Weitz; Who got it right?
Thanks to A. Luper and newmoonmovie.org, we have this cool new comparison of the Twilight vs New Moon visuals. (You MUST click the link to see it larger. You'll thank me in the morning.) The photos on the left are from Twilight and the photos on the right are from New Moon. What do you think? Who got it right? Not "Which photo looks better?" but "Who got it RIGHT?" Here's what I think:
Victoria: Twilight - she looks too 5th Ave in the New Moon shot.
Esme: New Moon - she looks too Gidget in the Twilight shot.
Laurent: New Moon - he doesn't look sinister enough in Twilight - just, aggro. And his coloring is way better in the New Moon shot.
Bella: Twilight - she looks too Kristen Stewart in the New Moon shot.
Edward: NEW MOON!! Clap hands! Squeee! Luvs it luvs it luvs it!! He looks very high brow like Edward Cullen SHOULD look. We all know how I feel about his ridiculous "scary" look in Twilight. As if a Volvo and two medical degrees could be scary. Snicker.
Jacob: New Moon. Two different looks for two different faces of his character, so it was close.
Alice: I like each for each. She looks a little wifty for her intro of "was in a psyche ward" in Twilight.... and she looks perfect for her "lover of all things Prada" persona in New Moon.
Rosalie: Neither. First - Nikki Reed is gorgeous as a brunette in "real life". I've always maintained I like her moxie - and her portrayal of Rosalie. But she's not blonde and she's wigrific in New Moon. I've just never been able to embrace her as the character no matter how hard they try to make her look the part. I agree whole-heartedly with whomever said she would have made a great Victoria.
Jasper: Yikes. The photos are both bad. Jackson Rathbone has a truly beautiful face (see that episode of Criminal Minds for confirmation). Neither photo does him justice.
Emmett: New Moon - he looks more menacing and vampirific. The Twilight shot looks like his yearbook football photo.
Carlisle: New Moon. HOT HOT HOT. Much less Ward Cleaver, which is what the Twilight shot looks like.
My thanks to M'GIRL Jenn M. for bringing this to my attention. This was one of the most fun blog posts I've ever worked on. :)

The Edward Strikes Back?
OK this is a little strange. NewMoonMovie.org is reporting that there is a total rumor about Breaking Dawn being made into a three part trilogy. I have read previously that Stephenie Meyer even said she thought it should be made into multiple films. But three? That's an interesting concept to ponder. Again - total rumor - I am so not "reporting" anything here.Here's a quote I am not overly thrilled with:
There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the novel due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating.
I don't like the word "tweaking" in this case. No way. The book is the book. The story is the story. Trying to avoid an R rating is something I find really upsetting. Ya know, as a more mature Twilight fan, I have had to endure a different Volvo... dark clothes on Edward... an attempt at "Dark and Scary Edward" ("AS IF I WOULD NEED ANY OF THATTTT")... and lots of strange fashions from Bella (girls, leave your converse at home while attending the prom) - all so they can pander to the teen market. Clearly they weren't expecting the onslaught of 30 and 40-somethings who love these books. And now they've made a weird one-dimensional, shooting practice-esque Edward for New Moon... so the teens can get their fill of Robert Pattinson....even though Bella only heard Edward's (velvet) voice in the book. (Which is an insult to teens, btw, I think they can handle only hearing Edward's voice. The whole point of him being gone is that. HE'S GONE. It makes the reunion so much better because you haven't SEEN Edward in so long). OK, whatev - I'll deal. But come on. Changing anything about Breaking Dawn so they can get a younger rating? That doesn't sit well with me. That birth scene is intense! It's raw! It's full of emotion! How do you tweak it for a less-mature audience?! Ugh. OK I'll shut up now because a) it's a rumor and b) I'll give myself agida.
*Thanks to newmoonmovie.org for the info and the WAY COOL photo.
Ready for your Close-up?
I would be lying my rear end off if I didn't admit that I LOVE this cool new Twilight Makeup line that I just read about on Amanda Bell's Twilight Examiner. There are two kinds to choose from, Luna Twilight and Volturi Twilight. A slightly giddy giggle escaped from my mouth when I saw the Volturi logo. Squee! I must own this stuff! (Fangirl, party of 1? The beach! The truck!)

TwiCon Video
Check out these TwiCon videos on twilightmoms.com. Very cute. Especially Peter Facinelli. They'll make you want to talk to him on the phone until one of your parents comes in and makes you hang up.

Great RPattz Photos - A Purgatory EXCLUSIVE!
My sister's friend (who is in the media) snapped these after the MTV awards last month. I love the one with his hands on his neck. You know he's freaked out by all the fans. Well Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?
