The New Jacob Black Doll!


MTV has the exclusive on the new Jacob Black doll by Tonner!
Last week when it was announced that Taylor Lautner got cast as “Stretch Armstrong,” we made note that with that project (and “Max Steel”) he was “quite literally becoming a boy toy.” Well, we’re back now to reinforce that claim with an exclusive first look at the brand new Jacob Black doll!
The limited edition Jacob action figure, which comes a few (long-awaited!) months after Tonner debuted its Laurent, Victoria, James and “Hungry Edward” dolls during last July’s Comic-Con, will be shapeshifting released this summer. The cost of the 17-inch-tall, hard plastic and vinyl figure will be $149.99 and there are only a limited number (3000 to be exact!) being made, so Twilighters, this is a chance to own a piece of cinematic history!
Er,  $149.99? 
This is a collector’s item and different from the Mattel’s Jacob Black Barbie Doll for $24.99, which has less clothes. :D
What do you guys think?  Do you like the Jacob Barbie doll better?

Robert Pattinson Spills on Costar Emile De Ravin!

Chemistry between actors is super important, especially when you have to act out a romantic relationship on the big screen! We all know he and Kristen had a great connection in the Twilight saga movies, which totally brought Edward and Bella’s love to life! It seems like Robert Pattinson lucked out again with his costar Emile De Ravin in his upcoming film Remember Me! In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rob talked about his first glimpse of Emile and what he thought of her! Rob said that he had received Emile’s audition tape through email from the director and tried to watch it: “My Internet connection was so slow that I could only get the beginning, which was her messing up for about 35 seconds. She was really funny, you know, messing up and kind of quite charismatic.” Rob found it cute even when Emile wasn’t perfect on her first take!

Confirmed: 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' trailer will not appear during 'Percy Jackson'


'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Summit Ent.
There are a ton of reasons why you might go to see Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief this weekend, but the potential for a The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer should not be one of them.
I've just received confirmation from a studio representative that the trailer for Eclipse (while no release date or venue is yet announced) will not be appearing in the previews during Percy Jackson's opening weekend. 
The rumor began on IMDb, apparently, and some websites helped to propagate the story, but it is absolutely false.
As you know, there is also a lot of speculation that the first trailer might be revealed during the opening of Robert Pattinson's Remember Me (a film produced by the Twilight film studio). This has not been confirmed or denied, but it seems like the more reasonable guess.
In any case, the first Eclipse trailer will not be appearing this weekend via Percy Jackson, for sure.

I have to admit, I've been losing sleep over which NM DVD to pre-order ever since last years Twilight debacle in which I missed out on Target's 3 discer. (Grrr) It's still
early (51 days away!) so, let's try to break this whole DVD cluster F%#k down so as to make the most TW-educated decision possible on which version of the New Moon DVD to pre-order, shall we?


Standard 2 discer
Special Edition includes
(cheapest on Amazon.com ,$20.49):

....Audio commentary track with director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert (Boo, no cast members); a 6-part behind-the-scenes documentary; band-rehearsal footage with Muse; music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, and Mute Math.


Differences between other versions:
Borders($29.99)-


Exclusive packaging that
compliments our existing Borders Exclusive Twilight packaging. Exclusive medallion necklace, gold side with wolf-pack tattoo, silver side is the Cullen crest on a silver chain. Includes previously unreleased EXTENDED SCENES; INTERVIEWS with cast members Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, The Cullen Family, The Wolf Pack, The Volturi and Director Chris Weitz; unrivaled RED CARPET FOOTAGE from the movie premiere; front row seats to The Twilight Saga: New Moon WEBCAST.


Barnes & Noble -

Standard 2 discer Special Edition with Dreamcatcher Bag Clip, a metal dangle finished in antique brass that combines a circular dreamcatcher, a sculptural Wolf Pack-tattoo charm, a Wolf Pack jewelry tag, feathers, and crystals.


Target
($26.99)-
Standard 2 Discer special edition plus a third disc of never before seen content and a bonus collectible film cell. Sounds TW-amazing if they would tell us what's on that damn 3rd disc! Their website states to "check back for further details" regarding the illusive trifecta. (Quick note: if you go with Target, the films cells they're offering are limited quantity, so make sure you ask when you pick up your pre-orders at the store.)

Walmart Fab Edition -
Exclusive Eclipse 7 min. world premiere. The 1st teaser for NM was only 1:47 mins. Imagine what they can do with 7 whole mins!



Although
Walmart basically had me at Eclipse, I'm not betting on them till their site is updated (pre-order for Fan Edition available tomorrow) and Target let's the wolf out of the bag about that 3rd disc. And then there's the issue that Borders is the only retailer officially stating it contains the "extended scenes" Chris Weitz promised us. Now, I'm not sure if they will be included in the Standard Special Edition 2 discer and it's just not stated, but that may be a deal breaker for me. Extended scenes are vital!

Rumor Alert — ‘Eclipse’ Trailer to be Shown Before ‘Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief’? No!

*RUMOR** According to a user on IMDB.com the first Eclipse trailer will be shown with the movie Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief opens in theaters this weekend. We have not received any official confirmation if this is true or not.
As I said in the title: Rumor Alert. My personal thoughts are that yes — I really do hope this is true. But my gut tells me that it will come out with Remember Me.  I hope I’m wrong!
UPDATE: The awesome Amanda from the Twilight Examiner has confirmed that the Eclipse trailer will NOT be shown Before Percy Jackson -
I’ve just received confirmation from a studio representative that the trailer for Eclipse (while no release date or venue is yet announced) will not be appearing in the previews during Percy Jackson’s opening weekend.

Scans of Ashley Greene in ‘Savvy Magazine’



New interview with Eclipse Vampire Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen) in Savvy Magazine, including new pictures.
In the interview Ashley talks about the Twilight Saga, on playing a Vampire, and her new movie Skateland -
Chatting with Ashley Greene, it’s hard not to let the conversation drift to a certain topic — vampire superpowers. Ashley’s take? “Being invisible would be kind of cool. You could be a fly on the wall and really see what makes people tick. Understanding people and their motives is important.”
Spoken like a true actor. After all, when much of the Twilight Saga phenomenon is stripped away, Ashley Greene is nothing if she’s not one thing — an artist committed to her craft. Moving to Hollywood at only 17 from her home in Jacksonville, Florida, her rise to fame is somewhat serendipitous. “I was still working at a restaurant and then I got Twilight. To get a big break — and to have it something like Twilight — is just really incredible.”
But as much as she credits Twilight and New Moon for skyrocketing her stardom, Ashley has more on her plate than merely waiting for the Eclipse release. She’s the female lead in the independent film Skateland, which premiered on January 25 at the Sundance Film Festival — one of only 16 feature-length movies selected in the U.S Dramatic competition. In this coming-of-age story set in the early 80’s, Ashley stars as Michelle Burkham, the best friend of a 19-year-old rollerskating rink manager (Shiloh Fernandes). “This is a project I really care about and worked hard on,” she says. “When I found out Skateland was going to Sundance I was so excited. You feel a sense of legitimacy as an actor hearing news like this.”
Check out more scans from the article including the rest of the interview after the break!


If that weren’t enough, Ashley recently landed the starring role in the Warner Bros. thriller The Apparition, being produced by Joel Silver (The Matrix). “It’s a big stepping stone,” she reflects. “To actually be the lead of a studio film and to have input on it is just really cool.” The movie begins shooting early this year in Berlin.
When she isn’t busy filming — a rare occurrence of late — Ashley keeps a full docket of philanthropy. She is the spokesperson for DonateMyDress.org, a national organization that provides gently-used, donated formal wear to those who can’t afford a brand new prom or special occasion dress. She also recently participated in a PSA for The One Campaign, confounded by U2’s Bono, to combat HIC/Aids and extreme poverty in the third world countries. “Hopefully I’ll be going over to Africa this summer to see firsthand the work that we’re doing.”
It’s no wonder then that Ashley draws inspiration from legendary actress and UNICEF ambassador Audrey Hepburn. “She was a great humanitarian. She did really great things with her fame, and that’s where I’m looking to go. I mean, acting is incredible and I love it. But it’s just a smaller piece of the bigger picture.” It’s clear that even in the midst of her sudden fame, the young actress seems to known an important, albeit mysterious, truth — a rising star rises higher when grounded.
Personal Style
“It’s pretty classic and chic. I like to wear things that are simple and have accent pieces as opposed to wearing something completely overwhelming.”

Acting Idols
“Kate Winslet would be incredible to work with. She’s an amazing actress. Also Meryl Streep, although that would be a little intimidating! And Johnny Depp, he really is a true artist.”
Twilight Hours
“Everyone is always joking around and the mood is usually light and fun on set. Jackson (Rathbone) always has the ukulele and it cheers people up…reminds me of Hawaii!”
Simple Pleasures
“I’m in love with the soft serve vanilla ice cream cones from McDonald’s! And I’m also a big fan of Cheez-Its, unfortunately.”
Eternal Optimist
“I try to be pretty upbeat and optimistic like Alice. Of course, she takes it to a whole new level…”

Jackson Rathbone’s ‘The Last Airbender’ Sokka Action Figure!









Jackson Rathbone has now been immortalized in TWO action figures!  First, the Jasper Hale ‘action figure’ and now Sokka from the Last Airbender.
MTV has an exclusive on The Last Airbender action figures.
“We worked very closely with M. Night, the rest of the Paramount team and our in-house design team, along with our partner Spin-Master, to come up with the right assortment, the right size for these action figures and make sure we we had representation of all the nations within the ‘Arbender’ series,” said Nickelodeon’s Lourdes Arocho.
For those looking to mark their calendars, Wave 1 of “The Last Airbender” toys arrives June 1, Wave 2 will hit shelves closer to the movie’s release date in July, and the final batch will arrive closer to the holidays.
OMG!  Where is LMC & Bean?!  It’s Sokka!  You all can have TWO Jackson dolls!  Now if they come out with the Eclipse Jasper doll in uniform………. LOL!
