What's Gonna Work? TEEEAAAMWORK!

'Twilight' stars join forces to negotiate contracts :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Bill Zwecker



The holy Twi-nity sticks together. WEEE! Other reasons this is awesome, deals were already inked previously for 4 movies, meaning Breaking Dawn will almost certainly be TWO films (necessitating a contract for a 5th movie.)


HIGH FIVE!



Or not. Way to leave a girl hanging.

Remember Me Trailer. Oh Yes.

Remember Me



Trailer Park | MySpace Video

We get to watch Rob slam things around AND nekkid? I'm in. Sign me up. Good God yes.

On The 8th Day, He Created Rob

Just as I was starting to fret about having nothing to blog about because I've been so distracted the past few days that all the info I had went stale, the heavens parted and tiny cherubs slid down a sunbeam and delivered the new issue of Vanity Fair and His most perfect creation, Rob...

I will only post one, and push you over to Thinking of Rob for the rest of the untagged glory since I am in no way responsible for this thin slice of heaven and TOB presented them so nicely.

It seems fitting that these would appear, almost miraculously, on a Sunday since they take my ass to church and make me fall to my knees and give a prayer of thanks:

Dear God, on behalf of my sisters and brothers (who are also sisters), thank you for giving our eyes, if not our loins, the gift of Rob Pattinson. Heavenly high five on this one.

Amen.

Monday TwiHard Report

Eclipse filming is a wrap and New Moon is rapidly approaching (huzzah!)

The media meltdown for New Moon is starting to bubble, so far the holy Twinity has been booked for the Today show and Regis & Kelly (hopefully Reeg has learned Kristen's name by now) but Ellen may have scored the crown jewel...booking Rob Pattinson all by his lonesome. Let's see if he brings the whole family back to sit in the audience again.

If you somehow missed the new "Save Her" spot...here you go!




Have I mentioned lately I'm excited? I am...a little...I hope I don't piddle on the rug.

Those kids at Summit know the second New Moon premieres, the Eclipse onslaught begins in earnest. So via the @twilight twitter acct, they treated us to the title treatment for Eclipse:

Ooooh ominous! Well, as ominous as a few words can be, but I like it, it's a start! There is going to be a LOT of time to fill before Eclipse hits theaters in Summer of '10. New Moon was somewhat balanced with Eclipse filming tidbits (and the uberstalking of it's cast), but if they don't film Breaking Dawn in whatever way they're going to do, it's going to be a long dry winter.

Whenever, and however they approach Breaking Dawn, it would be nice if the cast didn't have to hideout...most notably Rob & Kristen nee Robsten.  My friend Tracy (@rosenfie) but together her first video about just that topic. Pretty damn good for a first shot!  :)

Thursday TwiHard Report

The hits just keep on coming! Yahoo has posted a new fight scene with the Volturi, when Edward intervenes to save Bella. I don't care what anyone says, this makes me want to see the movie MORE not LESS! (The thumbnail links to the video since they've disable embedding.)

Bad. Ass.

Tuesday TwiHard Report

Yep, I totally edited this to just make it the post du jour. Why? Because I can!

Jacob haters be damned, this gave me a serious case of the giddies. Now if only Alex Meraz would stop making me love him via twitter so I could concentrate on my hatred of Paul, we'd be all good.




The clip is now available for download through the new iTunes Twilight store

Do Regis & Kelly have magic booking fairies? They must because they pulled this off, via their twitter account: @Regis_and_Kelly EXCLUSIVE! New Moon's Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner on our show Nov18,19,&20!

A) Having one on each day certainly hints that they'll be doing so much press that all three can't be spared at the same time, no surprise there. Have caffeine and cigarettes, will travel.
B) Does this mean I'm going to have to watch Regis & Kelly? THREE TIMES? *groan* If I must.

I love the smell of media blitz in the morning!

Pssst only 252 days until Eclipse is allegedly released, just in case that New Moon count was getting old.

Twi-Slacker Report

Yep. Been a few days. Maybe I was feeling a little Twired (bad as I think that was?) or maybe still reeling from post-Lautner contact, whatever...I slacked. But I promise you haven't missed out on anything too earth shattering.

Most important news, the New Moon soundtrack is out!!! And IMHO, AWESOME! I've had a new favorite song every day so far. The only track I really dislike is the Editors song, dude's voice creeps me out, but to each their own. Yes, it's a whole lot of emo, but hey, that's New Moon. The collection of music on the soundtrack does a great job of capturing the emotion of reading New Moon, making me even more excited to see the movie, if that's at all possible. Even those outside the Twi cult should check out this soundtrack as a collection of some very interesting up and coming bands. While you're at it, check out more from Band of Skulls, a personal favorite.

Though it's very much putting-the-cart-in-front-of-the-horse, will Muse be back for a third time with the Eclipse soundtrack? MTV has posted a new interview with Muse's Dominic Howard, discussing their history with Eclipse's director David Slade and being a part of the world of Twilight. Check out the interview and a great write up at Eclipsemovie.org

I hate getting too texty. So, how about a New Moon promo pic of the FULL wolf pack, including Jacob?

The first rule of Wolf Pack is never talk about Wolf Pack, but apparently the second rule is to only wear dark neutrals. Anyhoo, still pretty hot.

Whilst in the wolfy vein, the Spike TV Scream Awards taped this weekend, and while I won't give spoilers to anyone hell bent on watching and being surprised (good luck with that) Mr. Taylor Lautner WAS on hand.  Several fan sites have reported however that the New Moon clip presented was NOT new. However, there could still be a different clip inserted for the actual airing, to avoid leaks. Those movie execs can be crafty little monkeys. See for yourself when the Scream Awards air on Spike on 10/27.

Jumping on the Twi-merch cash wagon, Nordstrom has introduced their own line of New Moon clothing and merch. To sweeten the pot, Nordstrom is offering tickets to private advance screenings of New Moon with every $50 purchase from their collection. $50 seems pretty steep to me, but you do get bragging rights for seeing it first.  The merch is toned down considerably from it's Hot Topic counterparts, most of it being less overt and more wearable by anyone over the age of 12. Many of the t-shirts are actually pretty cute, like this "Dear Alice" shirt:

Cute right? But then there are a few pieces, that while not awful, I can't for the life of me figure out what they have to do with New Moon, or anything Twilight related for that matter. This tunic being the perfect example:

Do the Cullens have their own tartan I'm not aware of? Is this reminiscent of something Bella wears in the movie we just don't know about yet? (With that many ruffles I highly doubt it.) Is it a wink and a nod to all the plaid sported off set by Rob Pattinson? I have no answers for you. Not one.

Finally there is a special New Moon issue of People magazine on stands now. It is chock full of pretty pictures from New Moon and it's even prettier stars and this gem, the first still from Eclipse. With the release of New Moon just about a month away, it's good to prepare for the fervor and speculation to swing Eclipse's way.

God, I could stare at that profile all the live long day. Now please go buy the magazine so I don't get in trouble for using the picture, because I'd really miss seeing it if they made me take it down.

Who Doesn't Want RPattz For Their Birthday?

With frosting no less!  Mmmm.

Whatever, being an adult is overrated anyway.

TwiHards Stick Together

Rather than the usual Twi-post today, I'd rather plead the case of some fellow Twi-Hards.  Some of you may have seen posts and ads for a Rob Pattinson dvd collection called "Robsessed". Some of you may also know that there was already a ROBsessed blog in place long before this dvd ever existed. It was bad enough that Revolver Entertainment jacked the URL that ROBsessed had been working on aquiring, but they are now highjacking the blog entirely. They are using material directly from ROBsessed and several other Twi-tweeters (@RPLife @CarinaOlsen)  and making it look like they are writing FOR Revolver Entertainment. This is NOT TRUE. The material is being STOLEN from the creators. Revolver Entertainment is cashing in on Rob's fame, while ROBsessed work purely for the love of doing it. These girls work really hard for the benefit of all Twilight/Rob Pattinson fans and are deserving of more than a little loyalty. Frankly most days I wouldn't have a whole hell of a lot to show you without them. I will not post a link to the dvd site in question, as I don't want to give these asshats one more click, and I ask anyone that may have been thinking about purchasing this to spend your money elsewhere.  Stand up for the little guy. Trust me, follow @ROBsessedblog and http://www.robsessedpattinson.com/ and you will have no need for the dvd anyway. These Twiladies are ON it and will give you your fix DAILY.

Read all about it, in their own words: http://www.robsessedpattinson.com/2009/10/robsessed-dvd-and-revolver.html

If you want to do one better, email usa@revolvergroup.com and voice your opinion. Try not to use phrases like "suck it" and "pound sand", no matter how tempting. You can also leave a comment on the Amazon page for the dvd. (Ooh, crafty, I like it)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reading.

UPDATE: Per @ROBsessedblog The #RevolverEntertainmentSucks losers are back online.They removed our content and went back to just selling their bullshit DVD.THANK YOU!!

YAY! Good to hear it!

Wednesday TwiHard Report

The video for Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me On The Equinox", the first single from the New Moon soundtrack, debuts tonight at 7 pm Central/8 pm Eastern on MTV and MTV.com. While DCFC couldn't swing getting Rob Pattinson in the video in new footage, the video (peek below) does splice together some of the more sob-worthy movie bits we've see. Curious to see if anything we HAVEN'T seen makes the final video.




Wednesday seems like a good day for video day, so I'll throw in another clip just because it gave me a case of the smirks. Peter Facinelli describes what he thinks was the funniest moment on the set of New Moon. A) Peter is so damn cute (as is Jackson "#2" Rathbone.) B) Imagining a befuddled Rob makes me grin like an idiot. C) Imagining Rob always makes me grin like an idiot. D) I grin like an idiot a lot and that must be creepy.



Thanks to TwilightGuy.com and www.robsessedpattinson.com for the video.

Ooook, The Haunted Airman

So, I watched it. It being The Haunted Airman, starring pretty pretty Rob Pattinson. It wasn't terrible. It was..well...a head scratcher.  The most baffling point being why this was rated R? Does the BBC rate things FAR differently than the MPAA? The scariest part of this movie was the idea of a world where RPattz can't function from the waist down.

Let's examine the pros and cons of The Haunted Airman:

Cons:
Too many spiders. Spiders crawling on Toby (RPattz) was the creepiest image in the entire movie. I generally hate spiders but them messing up that mug is even worse.

English subtitles I could not get rid of. English subtitles ON AN ENGLISH MOVIE.

The building is a seemingly neverending Escheresque maze of stairs, and yet Rob's character seems to navigate it with ease...in a wheelchair.

Yet another movie shot with filtered color. Will we ever see Rob in full Technicolor outside Goblet of Fire?

Toby's nickname is "Juggler", which just makes my inner 12 year old giggle.

Toby's creepy infatuation with his Aunt, only by marriage, yet still creepy.

The ending, which I won't spoil, left me with a seriously unsatisfied "whaaaaaa" feeling.

There is only one bathtub scene.


Pros:

There is a bathtub scene.

There are several partially clothed massage scenes.

Lots of jaw porn...profile porn...hand porn...

The accent, OH the accent.

If the tobacco industry was smart they'd be using Rob for marketing. I've never seen anyone make a disgusting habit look more graceful or hot. It's so wrong, yet so right.

I eagerly await a period drama starring Rob. Between the voice, the accent, the face and the costumes, I'd be first in line.

Toby's relationship with his aunt, though creepy, is cougarlicious.

The entire movie is worth a watch just to watch Rob's mouth move. Several times I caught myself focusing on that instead of the plot (still trying to figure out exactly what the plot was anyway.)


Go ahead, pile these on your scales and decide if it's worth your time. I'm guessing if you're reading this though, 70 minutes of RPattz would probably get you through Weekend At Bernie's 2.

OOH! OOH! GUESS WHAT I GOT!

Tada! Advance copy! The release date is 10/13/09. Score.

The Haunted Airman, starring my favorite puma prey!

I am not at all pleased with the number of spiders featured on the cover alone, these things usually don't bode well for little ole' arachnophobic me, but at the same time it holds the promise of such magical things:

Let's face it, if there was anything that was ever going to cure me of my fear of spiders, it will be a half nekkid Rob Pattinson. If he would only go the full monty, I'd be cured of everything forever.

I am volunteering myself to give The Haunted Airman a whirl and report back!

Monday TwiHard Report

Oh, so it's going to be one of those days is it? Fine, I see how it is...and I LOVE IT!  New stills from the dream sequence of New Moon. I swear if this movie turns out to be even a fraction as beautiful as what we've seen so far, my offer to Chris Weitz to be his baby momma stands.

Never have I ever wanted to be a makeup brush so badly

So beautiful it hurts my heart

4 more months until I officially comment on this one

More details on the scene and the full gallery of still photos at Twilight Examiner

Oh Robsten...

Regularly scheduled TwiHard Report later, but this just came across my path from backstage last night at the VMA's and it had to be shared.

A picture says a thousand words? Maybe. This one at the very least says "Oh hey Taylor, when'd you get here?"

Young love, sigh.

Friday TwiHard Report

The headache pressure behind my eyeballs is reaching critical mass, but I've been remiss with blogging the past few days, between slow news and full calendar, but now there is much to share, so here we go! Bloggity blog blog blog.

As previously mentioned, there is to be a new "New Moon" trailer making it's debut at the VMA's this weekend (and possibly before Sorority Row, which opens today?) and there are now details about what's included in that trailer. I will not spoil it for anyone that wants to be surprised, but for info freaks like me, NewMoonMovie.org has the goods from MTV. All I can say is SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. As soon as I'm done here I'm going to start counting the hours.

For everyone that watched this week's debut of "The Vampire Diaries" on the CW this week and thought "um..hi Twi-Lite", Twilight Examiner has writer Kevin Williamson's explanation of why TVD (I typed "The VD" first, got the giggles, and think TVD might be more appropriate) is not like Twilight...but how he plans on incorporating Twilight anyway. I watched and saw the similarity, but to be perfectly honest, I'd watch just for Ian Somerhalder being all smoking bad vampy. I'd probably watch if it were just Somerhalder sitting staring into the camera for an hour.


Instead of closing with the sad news, I'll rip the band-aid off and save a little salve for after. A new message popped up on StephenieMeyer.com this week regarding "Midnight Sun"...and how any spam ads you see offering you a chance to win a copy are just hoaxes.  Sigh Stephy....BIG SIGH. There is still a little room in my heart where the belief lives that Stephenie Meyer won't let her fans down, is over the original leak of this story, but is finishing it under dark of night to avoid any further leaks...that we just won't hear anything about it until it is ready for release. But that room is slowly being bricked closed, and I know we may just never get closure there (you can read the first 300 or so pages on Meyer's website, but I warn you, it's your heart). Meyer has spoken in the past that if she were to continue along the Twilight path, she would most likely write from a new perspective, such as Leah or Nessie (if you don't know who that is you need to keep reading and stop looking at my blog until you have). This got me thinking...who's story would YOU like to see? I would love to know what happens to Leah. We're introduced to her and just as soon as we start to feel for her, her story just sort of fades into the ether. What happens to her? Nessie would be great because we would still get to see glimpses of those Cullens we know and love.  I, for one, would most like to know more about Alice and Jasper. Their relationship seems most fated in the way of Edward and Bella but coming from far darker origins. Or, maybe a lesser character takes a starring role. Are there any secondary characters you're in love with? Personally, I have a weird attachment to Kate (of the Denali clan), and in turn, Kate and Garrett. I have no idea why I'm so fascinated with Kate, but I adore her. It could be the way she pushes Bella, is smart and strong and fiercely independent. Her history...and future...intrigues me. This also makes her the character I most nervous about seeing cast in "Breaking Dawn" because I have such a strong mental picture of what she looks like, and who she is.  Of course, there are also endless stories down the Volturi route as well.  Jane and Alec could be a book in themselves. So what about you? What would you read?

WOW, got wordy there...but it's been rolling around my head for some time now.  I promised salve. Balm for the festering wound left by an unfinished "Midnight Sun." How about some stills from the filming of Eclipse?

How about some Team Edward!

Team Jacob, I didn't forget about you!

More over at twilightscoop.com including a pic of Taylor and Kristen's stunt double that amuses me.

Tuesday TwiHard Report

Let's address the 500 lb gorilla in the room shall we? It's been buzzing around today that there is a video of Robsten leaving a Bobby Long show in Vancouver the other night when some brain donor "fan" decides she just must call K Stew a bitch. Why? Good question. You camp out there for god knows how long just to hurl an insult? Has she offended you personally? Spread vile rumors about your mother? Or is it because she got the man who will never exist outside your imagination? Because THAT will be the thing that makes Rob realize the error of his ways and sweep you, deranged creepoid, off your feet? I tend to think you're just mental, and pretty much the picture perfect example of why I'd never want to be famous. Congrats, you got your 6 seconds of fame and everyone thinks your a douche for it. Mazel tov! In the end she gets the taste knocked out of her mouth by yet another fan as Robsten make a scramble for it anyway. That's all I have to say about that. If you simply must see this yourself here you go.


Enough with the czars of too far, here's some more pleasant multi-media Twi-Fun! Check out this clip of the first single from the "New Moon" Soundtrack, Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me On The Equinox." Sadly it looks like DCFC was not able to snag one of the almighty Twi-nity (Kristen, Rob, Taylor) for the vid, but I'm sure it will not disappoint. Just a reminder, the video will premiere this coming Sunday on the VMA's along with a new, promised to be more Robilicious, "New Moon" trailer. I'll also be tweeting along (@Bashville) with the awards as best I can after spending the day at Octoberfest. Let's see if I can once again break Twitter's max tweet rule. I'm a rebel like that.


In "Um....ok" News...someone thought a little Team Edward/Team Jacob rivalry was EXACTLY what their cornfield needed. No. Really:

In case you want to try your luck at wandering through the maze (I feel like there should be a Bella searching her way through her maze of feelings for Edward & Jacob somethingerother here...oh hey, there you go) and find yourself in the neighborhood of Syracuse, Utah here are the deets.

And should find yourself in a totally different hood on 11/16/09...say Los Angeles...at the Village and Bruin Theatres, you will probably find yourself in the midst of the screaming Twi-throngs as that is where and when EOnline is reporting the "New Moon" premiere will take place. Get in line now! No...don't. And for goodness sake don't call anyone names!

To make up for the harshness of my rant and the stupidity of one that reflects poorly on us all, I leave you this parting gift of a still shot from Rob Pattinson's "Haunted Airman."

You're welcome.

Vampires, They're Everywhere!

I didn't want to call this a Twi-Hard report, because I had vamp-news from other fronts this time around.

To dig in immediately...for all you True Blood/Team Eric fans...LaineyGossip.com is reporting that Alexander Skarsgard is dating recent True Blood co-star Evan Rachel Wood. If Lainey says this comes from infallible source, I believe her. She's not one to throw out info to get it out first or...make it up...then hide behind some penises drawn on the victim of the week like...ahem...some gossipees. That, and she understands what a delectable little morsel Jackson Rathbone is...but more on that later. More on the Skarsgard/Wood coupling here.



In new-to-the-vamp-world news, I used my post-wedding incapacitation yesterday to catch up on the first season of the BBC's "Being Human." A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in a house together sounds like the setup for a joke your 8 year nephew just can't wait to tell you for the 5th time, but it's better, I promise. "Being Human" seizes the supernatural hotness of the moment without coming off as just a rip-off. All three are clinging desperately to the last of their humanity, trying to live in the human world, but the ghost doesn't know why she hasn't crossed over, the werewolf is a meek worrier who can't accept the beast as part of himself and the vampire is being persecuted by other vampires for his alternative lifestyle and his human/vamp love story has a much darker ending than Twilight or even True Blood. Don't worry though, one thing remains constant, the vamp is HOT. All but the first episode are currently available on-demand through BBC America.


Ok Twi-Hards, you've been patient, it's your turn! Picture time!

New "New Moon" promo pic of Nikki Reed/Rosalie Hale. Meh. Some of you have issues with the wigs, I kind of hate the contacts. I know they are the only practical solution, and in action they are fine, but in stills they always look like they aren't positioned quite right. I'll get over it.


A new Bella & Edward-centric "New Moon" poster has been released too. I don't understand how from every trailer and clip I've seen, "New Moon" looks so beautifully shot, and yet the posters are all so harsh. Of all the shots they took, the faces were the best in this? KStew and RPattz are prettier people than this. Tone the contour powder down a skotch or twelve.


This is what I'm talking about...see...film stills, beautiful! Soft, gorgeous and crackling with Robsten chemistry.


Back to my homage to LaineyGossip. She sees this and she GETS it. Jackson is the pocket pet of the Twilight cast. If you also feel like branching out your Twi-love tree a little, check out more Jackson Rathbone and the lovely Christian Serratos (Angela) over at LaineyGossip.com
