Twilight Cruise
Want to go on a Twilight Cruise. Well check out all the info here.
So who is in? I say we get a little or large group going.
Twilight Magazine
Getting sick of scavenging across the Internet to get your daily dose of Rob, Kristen and Taylor? Us Weekly is helping to make satiating your “Twilight” addiction easier by releasing “Sexy Stars of Twilight,” a 72-page homage to the vampire, his love and their pals.
The book, available today for $9.99 on newsstands and for order on Barnes & Noble, features posters, photos, cast interviews and “New Moon” secrets.
The seven pull-out posters included will feature four posters of heartthrob Robert Pattinson, one of Taylor Lautner, one of Rob and Kristen Stewart and one of the cast.
Most of the photos and cast interviews with Rob, Kristen, Taylor and Stephenie Meyer have been run in Us Weekly, but not all, says a source from the magazine. So fans looking for new material will be pleased with “Sexy Stars.” The 140 photos included in the book were compiled from a variety of sources, and the cast interviews are a collection from Us, which go all the way back to the beginning of “Twilight” fanaticism.
The book also includes photos from the “New Moon” set (including ones of Bella and Edward’s reunion kiss!), which we, for one, can’t get enough of.
That still hasn’t gotten you hooked? The book contains an essay on the Bella and Edward love story, pictures of Kristen Stewart chronicling her ascent into Hollywood, a look at the stars new to “New Moon” (ahem Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen), some photos of the Quileute wolf pack and a peak at the stars when they’re living their lives off-set.
I did purchase this magazine. Not too much new stuff, but fun to add to the Twilight collection.

Michael Welch Talks New Moon
It's a beloved moment in the "New Moon" novel, a rare moment of comic relief as Bella Swan attempts to get over her Edward Cullen-induced heartbreak by going on what becomes a three-way date with the love-struck Jacob Black and Mike Newton. Recently, actor Michael Welch made big news by assuring Twilighters that the scene would be in November's "Twilight" sequel — and now, we've got the scoop on the key tweak masterminded by director Chris Weitz.
"I really should've checked with someone if this is information I can give away or not," grinned Welch, the fan favorite who plays puppy dog-like Mike Newton in the blockbuster series. "But, whatever — here we are."
Welch stopped by the MTV studios to discuss such far-ranging topics as his concern for Robert Pattinson's safety and the "three-way date," a scene that has Bella, Mike and Jacob at a movie theater, watching a horror film. But, in the grand tradition of such films as "The Player," "Bowfinger" and "The Purple Rose of Cairo," director Weitz is inserting his own mini "movie within a movie" into the mix.
"The film is called 'Face Punch,' " revealed Welch, telling us about the tongue-in-cheek movie that Bella, Mike and Taylor will be seen watching on the big screen. "It's an action film."
When the cast of "New Moon" began planning out the pivotal date scene, they got a laugh out of some of the silly, fictional action-movie names that Weitz and his crew had assembled. But in the end, "Face Punch" was the winner.
"We started out with a few other comical names, but it turned out those were actual films so we couldn't use those titles," Welch laughed. "I forget the first few titles, but it was like 'Crazy Explosion' — and it turns out, there actually was a 'Crazy Explosion.' "
"Chris came up with the title," he continued. "And apparently there is no 'Face Punch' that we know of."
And although Welch and the other "New Moon" stars weren't able to watch "Face Punch" while they shot their scenes inside the movie theater (they were repeatedly shown the trailer for "Defiance" while Weitz's camera caught the flicker on their faces), he hopes that the filmmaker will shoot some silly action footage for his "Face Punch" mini-movie.
"That'd be interesting — maybe for the DVD, if there's a 'Face Punch' trailer," he grinned. "That's actually not a bad idea."
New Moon Trailer is shown on Transformers 2 and The Proposal, just letting you know.

Happy Birthday Edward Cullen!!
Today our Edward Cullen turns 108 years old. Of course we know he cannot age because he is a vampire, but it if could, he would be 108. (I know he is a fictional character, but sometimes I just don't want to know.)

Rob Pattinson hit by a cab
RadarOnline.com witnessed the Twilight star get clipped by a cab around noon in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street. He was not hurt. The 23-year-old London-born actor had been inside most of the morning filming scenes for his new movie Remember Me. A team of five security guards were trying to fend off a crowd of teenaged girls when Rob was leaving the bookstore. It was pouring rain as they tried to hustle him quickly across the busy street to the safety of his trailer. Some of the teen girls were hysterical and Rob rushed across the road. As he did so, a taxi grazed him. The cabbie slammed on his brakes as soon as he realized what had happened.
While these reports are undoubtedly sad and shocking, Summit commented to E! Online and stated that the reports are exaggerated:
A spokesperson for the studio [Summit] states:
“Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't he have dented the cab?

Earlier this evening I attended a press screening for the new romantic comedy The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It is a moderately amusing film wrapped in a formulaic “chick flick” pita but that’s not the reason for this post.
The first trailer that ran in front of The Proposal was none other than Summit Entertaiment’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
“It’s a really emotional experience when people are screaming at you all the time,” the Twilight star, 23, told EW.com about the fan frenzy that follows him. “When I was in Italy, all these people started screaming in this bookshop. Your immediate reaction is you feel like you’re going to start crying. It’s so not how I thought I would react. When people are pressing loads and loads of energy, you can kind of feel it. It’s overwhelming.”
RYAN EGGOLD & KELLAN LUTZ
Just how close are 90210’s Eggold and Twilight’s Lutz? The two 24-year-old stars joke about everything – including meeting on the online dating site, Match.com. “He had a great profile,” says Lutz, while Eggold jokes, “We had similar interests. Tennis. Badminton. We set up a man date.” The truth about their bromance? “We met through friends and then worked together on 90210,” Eggold finally admits.

Eclipse News
Twilight: New Moon isn’t even in theatres yet, but we are already gearing up for the third film, Twilight: Eclipse. We crashed a David Slade signing at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, California, where he was signing a new line of toys based on 30 Days of Night. “One of the cool things about shooting a movie based on a book is that it is not a film the studio can really change,” he tells us. “Not that the studio would want to change anything, of course.” David promises that they will stick close to the book – there is no sense in changing the story at all.' Hit the jump for more.
What will differ about Slade’s Twilight? “I don’t really know. We haven’t even started shooting yet.” While the director says he has a basic idea of what he wants to do with it, he is more concerned with telling a good story than being “different.” “It is darker, and there is a lot more action than the previous two,” he admits. “The third book is from Bella’s point of view, but the film will be more objective.” And just how will he do that? “We are going to focus on the origin stories of several characters, like Jasper, and show how Bella will decide between Edward and Jacob.”
David didn’t read the books until the studio was interested in bringing him in – then he did his homework. “It was tough for a middle-aged man to get into,” he admits, “from the point of view of a 17 year old girl. But once I got past that, I found them to be really good stories.” He is especially excited about the great script from Dexter writer/producer Melissa Rosenberg. Right now, they are still in preproduction, with plans to start shooting later in the year.
When asked about his list of genre credits (including 30 Days of Night, Hard Candy, and mind-bending music videos for bands such as Aphex Twin, Stone Temple Pilots, and System of a Down), Slade admits to being a genre fan. “How many other chances do you get to create your own world from scratch?” He also tells us: “When I first got cable, I watched FEARnet constantly. I really loved Midnight Meat Train. I wanted to direct it – the studio sent me the script – but in the end I was a little too late.” While nothing post-Eclipse is written in blood, he is looking at a few other projects, all in the horror/fantasty/sci-fi genre.

5.8 Million View New Moon Trailer
These fresh stats are astounding. Summit Entertainment has a count of 4.2 million views for the New Moon trailer from MySpace, and another 1.6 million from MTV.com, so that’s 5.8 million combined views in the first 24 hours from its two domestic online launch partners. By comparison, the 3rd (and last) trailer for Twilight received 3.2 million views in its first 48 hours on MySpace, piddling compared to viewership for the sequel’s trailer. This is what’s causing the traffic jam.

Eclipse News
E! Online is reporting that they’ve get ahold of a casting notice for at least three characters for the third film in the Twilight saga, Eclipse. Who are these three new characters? Read below for more details, but beware of possible spoilers:
We got our hands on a casting for at least three characters in Eclipse. Find out just what director David Slade is looking for. However, we must warn you that there are a few spoilers…
Riley “is a handsome, blond, clean-cut college boy who falls victim to Victoria,” the notice reads. He’s in his early to mid 20s and “plays an integral role in Victoria’s attempt to murder Bella Swan.”
There are two more members of the Quileute tribe and La Push wolf pack in Eclipse. Like New Moon, they are looking for Native American or First Nations actors to fill the roles.
“Seth Clearwater is a “tall, gangly-limbed boy with a huge, happy grin,” the notice reads. “Seth idolizes Jacob.”
Seth’s big sister is 19-year-old Leah Clearwater and the only female member of La Push: “She is tall and slender with beautiful skin and short cropped black hair. She would be considered gorgeous if not for the perpetual scowl she carries due to a broken heart and her anger issues.”
Now that Eclipse is up and running, what about the fourth, Breaking Dawn? As much as everyone in the cast wants it to happen, it still sounds like nothing’s official…yet.
“I’m signed for three,” Peter Facinelli told me at the MTV Movie Awards. “I’m hoping that they make four. I mean, if New Moon does well, I think they’ll make four.”
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have said they want to make Breaking Dawn, too.
When asked about four, Ashley Greene said, “I can’t even think that far in advance.”
Or maybe she can.
“They’re just going to have to make a Twilight Five,” she cracked. “I will be forever known as a Twilight girl.”
Greene and Kellan Lutz said they’ll start shooting Eclipse in August.
