“Twilight” Tatoos Make Stephenie Meyer Cry

MTV Previews Archie “Twilight” Parody #2

What do you think of Stephenie Meyer’s comments on people tattooing themselves with imagery from her books?  Do you have any Twilight-inspired tattoos?  If not, would you get one? 

Kudos to Kellan for his hard work in New Orleans.  The city and many other towns along the Gulf Coast are still reeling from the devastation that Hurricane Katrina brought ashore.  It’s heartwarming to know that their needs are still being acknowledged by so many five years after the storm.  It will take many more years to restore that region. 

I am really looking forward to seeing “Welcome To the Rileys”.  I love James Gandolfini and it will be interesting to see Kristen in a different role. 

What do you think of the Taylor Lautner RV lawsuit/push-up challenge?  In all honesty, I wonder if Taylor even knew about the suit being filed before it went viral over the Internet.  It’s not uncommon for managers for actors and musicians to file such complaints without their clients being aware due to the Power of Attorney that they’ve been granted.  With that said, I love the owner’s response and willingness to donate the money to the children’s hospital if he loses!

What do you think of the Archie comic parody? Have you purchased the first one yet?

Jodelle Ferland’s “Case 39″ Gets Release Date

From DreadCentral.com:

We’ve been reporting on Paramount’s Case 39 so long now that we think the film’s child star Jodelle Ferland is probably an adult already! After around three years of dealing with false starts, clips, trailers, and Renee Zellwegger’s seemingly frozen face, we finally have a firm release date.

Paramount announced today that they have locked down an October 1st, 2010 release date for the Christian Alvart (Pandorum) directed thriller.

Aside from all of the reports of Rob and Kristen stopping at an LAPD station to escape from the papparazzi following them from LAX, it’s been a pretty quiet weekend in the Twilight world.  

What do you think of Boo Boo and his sister’s single?  Does it bother you when actors try to branch out into other areas of entertainment or is it no big deal to you?  Do you think that someone can truly have success in both arenas – acting and music (outside of Broadway)?

Nikki Reed Would ‘Do Anything’ For A Guest Spot On ‘True Blood’

Being the fans of the fang-ed that we are here at Hollywood Crush, nothing delights us more than learning that the actors who portray the vamps in our favorite films and TV shows would love a vampire-on-vampire-type crossover as much as we would.

Case in point: “Twilight” actress Nikki Reed, who’s been filming “Catch .44″ with “True Blood”‘s Deborah Ann Woll , is an admitted “True Blood” fanatic.

McAfee, Inc. Names the Most Dangerous Celebrities in Cyberspace

For the third year in a row, McAfee researched Hollywood’s glamorous stars and pop culture’s most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrities on the Web. McAfee’s latest report found that searches for Barack or Michelle Obama posed a lesser threat compared to others.

Young Hollywood – Just as Dangerous to Search as They Are Famous

Young Hollywood starlets (and popular tabloid subjects) Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale and Lindsay Lohan all edged out Heidi Montag and Jessica Alba who appeared on last year’s list. They also ranked higher than other young personalities including “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson (#30) and Kristen Stewart (#20), the Jonas Brothers (#23), Taylor Swift (#16), Lauren Conrad (#25) Vanessa Hudgens (#17) and Zac Efron (#21).

Stephenie Meyer still among highest-paid authors

usatoday.com: So, can an author make as much as a hip-hop mogul?

Just days ago, Forbes put out its list of Hip-Hop “Cash Kings.” Now it has just come up with a new list: The 10 Highest-Paid Authors.

No. 2: But you could say Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is smarter. She came in at second place this year, even though she didn’t release a new title in 2009. She still earned $40 million. About $7 million of that came from movies adapted from the Twilight series, says Forbes.

ECLIPSE Director David Slade Likely to Helm WOLVERINE 2

www.collider.com: It looks like one of two directors is going to be taking Wolverine to Japan.  Vulture reports that the contenders to helm Wolverine 2 are David Slade (Hard Candy, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) and Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler’s Wife, the upcoming Bruce Willis action flick Red).  While both men have been approved by 20th Century Fox brass, the decision comes down to Hugh Jackman, and Vulture says he’s going to choose Slade.

Breaking Dawn, Motorcycles, Alternate Endings & Spoilers…

photo/twilightseriestheories.com

twilightseriestheories.com: This week we are bringing you some good stuff about Breaking Dawn!  We did discuss the upcoming movie at length, so there is more to come next week too!  We talked in this segment about how the series was going to only be three books!  It would have ended with Eclipse, and Stephenie even has an alternate ending!  There was also some talk about ‘Book-Characters’ vs. ‘Movie-Characters’, and all the spoilers that come with movie previews!

Matt: Okay, so Stephenie we were talking a little bit about how…like how in the tent scene Jacob the first initial scene he wasn’t even touching her because you know sometimes they have to censor it. What is your viewpoint…What is your opinion about how they censor some of the stuff to film from your books? Like some from the past books. Some from the present. Or the future books.

SM: Right. Right. Some of the future. I really want my kids to be able to watch these. Eclipse is a little bit for them…I mean, not that it’s like graphic in any way but just you know, when I read the kids Eclipse I did the chapter when the younger ones were asleep. And it was kind of a thing for me and my son like: “Do you understand what this is about? Let’s talk about it. Let’s have this conversation.” I think my younger ones are a little too young for you know: “What are they talking about, mommy?” And I’m like: “Okay, well when a man and a woman love each other very much…” And I just don’t really wanna go there yet till they’re ready for it! Um, and so I mean, there…I do want them to be something that…You know the fans who are nine? They’re gonna go see them anyway. And I don’t want to have their parents pissed at me you know? I’m okay with them because that’s what our imaginations are for. That’s what, you know,…we have our version of the scenes and if they did them exactly that way? Yeah, okay the rating would be prohibitive. And uh, not everybody could go and see it. And I think that we’ll…In the next one that we’ll have some nice steamy stuff. I think it’ll be good, but I think it’ll also be something that thirteen-year-olds can get into. Which is being true to your audience.

Elysa: There’s also the gory things to consider too, though.

(chatter)

SM: There are the gory things. And the birth scene’s gonna be tricky you know? Particularly because directors love that kind of stuff: “Alright!” We were just talking about like: “We gotta have this and that!” I dunno. It’s so funny how people are so freaked out by the birth scene.

Vampires don’t suck as ‘Eclipse’ passes ‘New Moon’

www.hollywood.com: Even though “Vampires Suck” got knocked down to third after a first place Wednesday debut, all is not lost in the romantic world of bloodsuckers and werewolves as Summit Entertainment’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Thursday surpassed the $296,623,634 domestic box office total of “New Moon.” On Thursday in 1,212 theatres, the third installment of the mega-blockbuster franchise earned $190,143 and that was enough to bring its total to $296,649,934 and take the domestic gross crown away from its worthy predecessor.  See full story at Twilight about to eclipse “New Moon!’

Third Place - Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg’s latest pop culture parody fest Vampires Suck took aim at the beloved Twilight franchise and dropped to third in its second day of release with $2.3 million at the box office on Thursday.  The comedy opened to a number one debut on Wednesday with $4.02 million in almost 3,000 theaters nationwide.

OK, it would be so hilarious to see Nikki in True Blood. Now that she knows Deborah, those two would drive Bill crazy, but she did mention that she would like to be a werewolf… What do you think of the crossover idea? What would be a good character for Nikki?

I loved Stephenie’s new fan junket interview. I think this was a really great idea from her because we really get to know more about the books and her thoughts about the movie and characters that what we usually already know. If she does have an alternate ending it would be so great to read it, maybe one day she’ll be good with the fans and give us a sneak pick ;) I’m still curious about that twilight saga guide, there are so many characters I would like to know more about. I’m not even going to into Midnight Sun. What did you think of the new audio interview? Anything that caught your attention?

This is totally out of theme, but I would really like to see a new Wolverine movie, the plot sounds really great and David has had his share of comics so it could work out. 30 Days of Night is a great movie and he did a great job with Eclipse :)

What do you think of Robert and Kristen being on the McAfee list?

Have you seen Vampires Suck? What did you think about it?

James Franco NOT Joining “Breaking Dawn” Cast

There were reports last week speculating on whether James Franco would be joining the cast of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” after he was seen at an interview for Esquire with a copy of one of the Twilight books.  GossipCop.com has confirmed that there is no factual basis for the speculation and that Franco is not going to be joining the cast.

Filming Schedule for “Breaking Dawn” Revealed

According to a recent tweet from Production Weekly:

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” has opened up new production offices in Baton Rouge, filming is scheduled from November 1 – March 15. 

Peter Facinelli Pimping Himself Out For Lunch

Peter Facinelli recently tweeted that he’s pimping himself out for lunch for a good cause.  It turns out that fans can bid via eBay for a lunch date with the actor and the proceeds will benefit the Onyx and Breezy Foundation, an organization that benefits the welfare of animals. 

Click here to place your bid for lunch for two guests with Facinelli in New York on a date to be determined between the months of October and December 2010.

More Goodies from Stephenie Meyer’s Press Junket

Twilight Series Theories has posted more transcript along with the audio of their interview with Stephenie Meyer during her recent press junket for the promotion of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”.  In this clip, she talks about Jacob and love, the angrier film version of Edward, reshoots of the tent scene, and knitting on the set of the film.

SM: See, and I love Taylor. He’s really sweet. He brought kinda that element that I feel like Jacob needed where you see the nice kid who’s really trying. You know he screws up because he’s a dumb teenage boy, but he’s trying. He wants good things. His motivations are very good all along.

Kallie: I did have to…I had to confess to her [Kassie] after re-reading Eclipse that she [Kassie] was right in some ways about Jacob! I love Jacob, but after reading Eclipse…

SM: And he’s someone…And there’s something that I think rarely comes across, which is that, you know we all love the vampires, right? We know the Cullens. We know they’re good people. We know that they’re not what Jacob thinks and so we don’t give him any credit. We think that he’s being…[That he’s] hating them even knowing the good in them, and that’s not true. He really feels like they are the way that we kind of feel about um…My brain is so messed up…

 What do you think of the news that James Franco will NOT be in “Breaking Dawn”?  Disappointed? Glad?  I, for one, am actually relieved.  Sorry…not a big fan.  I am, however, excited at the prospect of Lee Pace playing Garrett!!

So, will anyone be bidding on the lunch date with Peter Facinelli?  I wish I had some extra cash to throw down for that.  I actually would probably want his wife to join us so that I could pick her brain about her time on 90210 back in the day.  I had such a crush on Dylan McKay! 

What do you think of the Stephenie Meyer interviews?  I love hearing her point of view on differences between the books and the films and am thrilled that she will be a producer for “Breaking Dawn”.

Anna Kendrick Gets Her ‘Twilight’ And ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Knowledge Put To The Test!

hollywoodcrush.mtv.com: Anna Kendrick is not new to dealing with passionate fans. She has worked in all the “The Twilight Saga” films (albeit as a human instead of a supernatural creature), has a small role in the upcoming “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and has been a long time fan of “Lord of the Rings.”

Fortunately, we at MTV don’t allow such self-proclaimed passionate fandom to go untested, so while Anna was promoting “Scott Pilgrim,” MTV News’ Josh Horowitz decided to give her a little quiz to see how well she knows “Twilight” and “Lord of the Rings.”

James Franco Writing a Vampire Romance Novel?

nymag.com: In Esquire‘s cover feature on scholarly General Hospital star James Franco, we learn that the actor recently read Twilight:

“for a project … It’s crazy how much sexual tension there is [in Twilight]. It just builds and builds. I mean it never stops.”

He continues: “You probably know I have a lot of projects. But that one is way, way off,” he says. “It’s just something I’m thinking about … I want to write a children’s book. Someday.” And he’s apparently serious about it — of the book that inspired his current project, this weekend’s Eat, Pray, Love, he says only this: “My character mostly appears in the first twenty pages … And I can definitely say I read the first twenty pages.”

Jackson Rathbone Wants to See Kristen Stewart as a Vampire

Be warned though that if you haven’t read the books or anything then you may be SPOILED a little later in this article.

I can’t wait, it’s always a reunion. I’m really looking forward to seeing Bella’s transformation, that’s one of the things that has been building up for a while.”

So Jasper is ready to see the goody-goody Bella finally transform into the species of her possible true love.

I’m excited to see how Kristen Stewart really works with that. That’s going to be fun, she’s an incredible actress and, I know this is a pun, but she’s chomping at the bit in order to play that transition.”

Anna Kendrick on Scott Pilgrim, Meeting Edgar Wright, and Surviving the Oscar Gauntlet

www.movieline.com: After earning a supporting actress nomination at the Oscars last year for her work in Up in the Air, Anna Kendrick again provides valuable support as part of the ensemble cast of Edgar Wright’s hyper-caffeinated comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs the World. So how does the 25-year-old actress feel about shooting her role as Scott’s sister Stacey, her part in the upcoming cancer comedy Live With It, and the rigors of an Oscar season she’s finally put to bed? She told Movieline.

I’ve heard that Edgar was a big fan of your work in Rocket Science. Did he get in touch with you based on that?
Yeah, I think so. We had a meeting — God, it was a couple years ago, now — and it was actually at 6:30 in the morning before my flight to go shoot the first Twilight film. [Much later], I went in to read for Stacey and got hired. Standard stuff, really.

A 6:30am meeting sounds less than ideal.
Yeah, I was basically falling asleep. It was so early, and food sounded so gross to me, that I thought I was going to throw up at the breakfast table. It went good, though. It was a good enough impression, I guess.

Now, Comic-Con this year…was that your first time going?
It was my first time going and getting to have the full experience. I’d been with New Moon, but that was more of a Twilight-centric thing and we were sort of sequestered in Twilight world. This was the first time I got to go on the convention center floor, which was amazing.

Christina Ricci on Robert Pattinson: Great Guy, Awesome Kisser!

www.thehollywoodgossip.com: In the upcoming movie Bel Ami, Robert Pattinson makes loves to a lot of women.

His character rises to power in Paris by sleeping with and manipulating many females, one of whom will be played by Christina Ricci.

Asked by E! News what it was like to work so closely with the Twilight Saga hunk, Ricci said there is some “naughtiness” between their characters and summed up the shoot with this praise for her co-star:

“Working with Rob was amazing. He’s such a great guy, so talented.”

Breaking Dawn to be biggest paperback release of the year

www.thebookseller.com: Retailers are expecting the publication of Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn next week to be one of the “biggest paperback releases of the year”. The fourth and final novel in the Twilight series is to be published by Atom in paperback on 19th August after being out in hardback for two years.

Sarah Clarke, Waterstone’s children’s buying manager, said: “Despite the fact that the hardback has remained at or near the top of our children’s chart since publication – it’s still number three now – we have no doubt that Breaking Dawn is going to be our biggest children’s paperback of the year. We’ll be supporting it accordingly, and look forward to some very impressive sales.”

Twilight’s Charlie Bewley Talks Breaking Dawn‘s Birth Scene

www.reelzchannel.com: Volturi actor Charlie Bewley (Demetri) is the latest member of The Twilight Saga cast to chime in with his thoughts on Parts 1 and 2 of final movie Breaking Dawn, and the ever-popular topic of Bella’s somewhat gruesome birth scene.

On the subject of Bella’s much anticipated birth scene, Bewley has very specific ideas for how it should all play out.

I think they should just go all the way and do it in 3D! The baby kind of like pops out and floats above the audience’s head. Everyone who goes to see the movie with a bunch of kids going, “What?!”

On a serious note, he said “I have no idea. [But] they have to keep it in there. It’s part of the book.”

Is Stephenie Meyer Team Edward or Team Jacob?

www.twifans.com: The Stephenie Meyer fan-junket interview was all roses & hollyhocks until we delved into the most contentious subject of all, Team Edward vs Team Jacob…yes, of course we had to go there! Both sides battled vigorously (I’m not going to lie…Alison & I fought HARD for Team Edward!!) It was a heavy debate but in the end Stephenie Meyer really is…Team Switzerland :)

Have you ever wondered about who would actually win in a physical fight between Edward & Jacob? We’re talking the nitty gritty here people! Depending on what team you’re on the answer seems obvious but Alison & I wanted to know what the goddess who created the whole Twilight world, Stephenie Meyer, herself had to say. So we asked:

Anna Kendrick on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

PHOTO BY JACK SIEGEL

www.interviewmagazine.com: Taglined “An epic of epic epicness,” director Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s popular comic book series, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, hits theaters with Biblical force this Friday. Archetypal awkward youth Michael Cera plays the titular character, a 22-year-old bass player who falls in love with a girl only to learn that she has seven evil ex-boyfriends, all of whom are hell-bent on killing him. Anna Kendrick, who plays Scott’s reliable sister Stacey, says her character is “the voice in the back of [Scott's] head that he knows he’s not going to listen to.” We spoke to Kendrick about filming Scott Pilgrim, Comic Con, and Twilight mania (or lack thereof).

CAROLINE BANKOFF: Hello, Anna! Where are you calling from?

ANNA KENDRICK: I’m in Toronto. We have the Toronto premiere of Scott Pilgrim tonight–we filmed it in Toronto, so it’s a homecoming of sorts.

BANKOFF: How’s your summer been so far? What have you been up to?

KENDRICK: I don’t know, really. Just kind of doing the press tour and stuff. And watching a lot of movies.

BANKOFF: And you just went to Comic Con to promote Scott Pilgrim, right?

KENDRICK: Yeah. It was great; it was amazing. I mean, the film is obviously for comic fans, and they seemed to love it, which is a huge relief. Those are your toughest critics, in a way.

I’m really loving Anna’s interviews lately, she tends to be pretty funny and an easy going person. For what I’ve seen Anna is good for comedy, we still have to wait and see how she’s in other genres. Her MTV interview was funny, but she did good guessing, I can only remember Frodo’s name ;) What do you think of Anna? What did you think of her interviews?

I’m with Jackson, I can’t wait to see how Kristen will look all vamped up and little Nessie. I loved his “Twilight Saga: Origins, Jasper’s back story” idea, I would definitely pay to see that ;) What did you think of his interview?

What did you think of Charlie’s birth scene idea? How do you picture they’ll do it?

Is James Franco Joining “Twilight” Cast?

Source: MTV 

So what are we to make of this new Esquire interview, in which Franco hints he’s getting involved with “Twilight”? When the interviewer first meets the 32-year-old actor, he’s cradling a paperback that he reluctantly admits is the first volume in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series, saying, “It’s for a project.”

Does that mean he could be joining the cast of “Breaking Dawn,” which is set to begin filming in the fall? Or is this mysterious project just about vampires or teenage drama? A rep for Franco did not return MTV News’ request for comment by press time.

All we can say for certain, at this point, is that Franco is a fan of the book. “It’s crazy how much sexual tension there is,” he said. “It just builds and builds. I mean it never stops. It’s sort of explosive by the end.

Franco did say that the project was “way, way off” and only “something I’m thinking about,” so Twi-hards should proceed with their Franco dreams with caution.

Frances Bean Turned Down Role of Bella Swan?

The Internet is buzzing with the story that Kristen Stewart was not, in fact, Catherine Hardwicke’s first choice for the role of Bella Swan.  In a recent interview, Courtney Love says that her daughter, Frances Bean, turned down the role before it was offered to Kristen.  She says:

“Frances is so beautiful, but she doesn’t want to be famous,” Love told Britain’s You magazine. “She was offered the part of Bella in the ‘Twilight’ movies, and Tim Burton wanted her for ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ But she wants to go to college – she’s very good at graphic novels… Frances will be fine.”

“Edward Sullen” Talks About Twilight Spoof

Source: MTV

Matt Lanter plays “Edward Sullen” in the upcoming film “Vampires Suck”, which spoofs the Twilight Saga.  MTV recently spoke with the actor about his character and the movie. 

 

 

I love that Peter Facinelli turns his appearances into events to help others.  Alex’s Lemonade Stand is a fantastic charity that makes it simple for anyone of any age to get involved in the fight against childhood cancers.   Sadly, research for finding a cure for childhood cancers are seriously underfunded.   Here are a few facts about childhood (pediatric) cancers-  Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States.  The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) federal budget was $4.6 billion. Of that, breast cancer received 12%, prostate cancer 7%; while all 12 major groups of pediatric cancers combined less than 3%.  So, if you have a chance to meet Peter Facinelli and pay for an autograph or a photo with him, it is money well-spent!

What do you think about the rumors of James Franco joining the Twilight cast?  If he were to join the cast for “Breaking Dawn”, who do you think that he might play?  Perhaps he could be Jasper’s friend, Peter? 

As far as Frances Bean turning down the role of Bella Swan, I’m calling bullsh** on this one.  Considering the fact that the source is Courtney Love of all people…  There’s no filmography profile for Frances Bean on iMDB as an actress and she would have been around 14 years old when the casting for the film took place.
