TWILIGHT SAGA NEWS FEBRUARY 5TH

KRISTEN STEWART DOES CIVIC DUTY; COURT OFFICERS IN TROUBLE FOR PHOTO

from eonline.com:

Kristen Stewart was just trying to do her civic duty. Too bad it’s put two men into some real doodie.

The Twilight starlet (and reigning Vanity Fair covergirl) appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week to serve jury duty. Apparently, one of the security guards was a Twi-hard and asked K.Stew to pose for a quick camera-phone photo. Obviously, she was in the giving mood, she obliged.

However, it appears that perhaps K.Stew shouldn’t have been so generous. The guard’s pal (who was also there) then allowed his wife to post the picture on the Internet…and now the two men could lose their jobs because of it.

VIDEO PREMIERES FOR HURRICANE BELLS’ “MONSTERS” FROM NEW MOON SOUNDTRACK

from spinner.com:

A supernatural video treatment is fitting for the song, which can be found on the soundtrack for ‘New Moon,’ the second film in the vampire-werewolf world of the ‘Twilight’ series. The track didn’t make it onto the debut Hurricane Bells album, ‘Tonight Is the Ghost,’ but it did come to fruition during the same time period.

“‘Monsters’ was written a while back, along with a batch of songs that later became the Hurricane Bells record,” Schiltz explains. “I liked the combination of the kind of catchy little melody with the more sinister lyrics. I recorded it in 2008 and decided it didn’t fit on ‘Tonight is the Ghost,’ so I left it off, and eventually the ‘Twilight’ folks got a hold of it.”

With regards to the photo of Kristen and the court officers.  Would they have asked for a photo with “Joe Schmoe juror”? The court officers know better.  ‘Nuff said.

The Hurricane Bells video cracks me up.  That’s one of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack.  The possessed shopping carts make me think of Stephen King’s “Christine”…on a much more benign level.  LOL!

As always, Peter Facinelli is endearing in an interview.  I would love to see a blooper reel from the shooting of all of the movies.  I’ll bet that there are some really good ones!

Do you plan to bid on the celebrity snowboard?  No luck here…too steep for my wallet already.

I wish that I had DirectTV.  I’d love to watch Kellan and Taylor playing in the celebrity football game.
