Stephenie Meyer among Forbes’ Highest Paid Authors

Forbes.com has released a list of the highest paid authors, and Twilight scribe Stephenie Meyer takes the number two spot, topped only by James Patterson.
Vampire romance author Stephenie Meyer ranks second this year. Her Twilight series has become such a juggernaut that despite not releasing a new title in 2009, she earned $40 million over the year. About $7 million of that came from movies adapted from the Twilight series. In June the third Twilight installment pulled in $175 million in its first six days, the most successful first week of any movie of 2010.

Twihards among Time’s Top 10 Offbeat Fan Followings

 

Time has listed the “Top 10 Offbeat Fan Followings” and Twihards come in at number 4.  If you are wondering what they mean by “offbeat” they also describe the list as “phenomenons that have particularly intense fan bases.” Yeah, I guess that’s about right!
If you’re going to be a Twihard, you’ve got to pick a side. Will you join the vamps on Team Edward or run with the pack on Team Jacob? Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-human romance novels (and the subsequent films) spawned a vampire mania that has manifested itself in the form of screaming, crying, hyperventilating, white-painted, fake-fang-wearing fans. Some favor the caring vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), while others root for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), the underdog werewolf who has big muscles and rides motorbikes but somehow still doesn’t get the girl. Whole families form tent cities for days outside premieres, hoping to catch a glimpse of the often shirtless Lautner or the brooding Brit Pattinson. Young girls dream of finding a “real” love like Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward’s and gossip endlessly about the rumored ups and downs of the couple’s real-life romance. While seeing gaggles of frenetic teen fans is nothing new, seeing grown women fight over life-sized Edward cutouts and obsess over 18-year-old Lautner’s abdominal muscles comes as a bit of a surprise. Twimoms may have been introduced to the Twilight series by their daughters, but they have created a bloodthirsty fan group all their own.

Peter Facinelli Discusses Being Surrounded by Women

This is a cute piece about Peter and his family. Somehow I think he manages being surrounded by all those beautiful women in his life!
The hunky actor shot to fame back in 2002 starring in the television crime series Fastlane, and more recently achieved international fame for his role as vampire Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight movies.
The star has three daughters; Luca Bella, 13, Lola Ray, nine, and Fiona Eve, three, with his actress wife Jennie Garth, meaning he is constantly in the company of the opposite sex.
He says that being the only male at home can be testing, but he consoles himself by appreciating how gorgeous his family is.
“Being the only man in the house isn’t always easy. But then I think: ‘Hey I am destined for being surrounded by beautiful girls’,” he told Bravo.
“I am glad about every day I spent with my girls,” added the loving father, who revealed he has nicknamed his family “Facinelli-Five.”
Peter and Jennie met on the set of An Unfinished Affair, a 1996 made-for-TV movie, and married five years later.
“He is our angel,” gushed Jennie. She praised her husband for looking after the family and admits she’s lucky to have found such a great man.
He isn’t one of those guys to watch sport shows or do pub tours with his buddies. There aren’t many men like Peter,” she added.

Stephenie Meyer is second highest-paid author


According to Forbes, Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer is the second highest-paid author overall, just below James Patterson (I, Alex Cross).
"Her Twilight series has become such a juggernaut that despite not releasing a new title in 2009, she earned $40 million over the year. About $7 million of that came from movies adapted from the Twilight series," Forbes reports. In 2009, Twilight was released to DVD and The Twilight Saga: New Moon hit theaters.
Just below Stephenie Meyer on this list is Stephen King.
This isn't the first time Forbes has taken notice of Meyer's success. In 2009, she was #26 on the Forbes' Celebrity 100, and this year she was ranked 59th.
Meyer's successes with the Twilight series this year are also worth mentioning. She released the best-selling The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella this year, and it sky-rocketed to landmark sales right away. Because of the success of the book, $1 million (or more) was donated to the American Red Cross.
She's one of Amazon.com's best-selling authors of the decade, and it's been suggested that 2000-2009 was Stephenie Meyer's very own decade for success.
Looks like 2010-2019 won't be too shabby for this author, either.
