Twilight' star Billy Burke to appear at VH1 Save the Music Foundation 2010 Gala



This November 8th, Twilight star Billy Burke will be making an appearance at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation 2010 Gala thanks to his work with the organization during the release of his solo album, "Removed," according to Top-40 Charts.
"The 2010 Gala celebration will mark thirteen years of restoring music education programs in America's public schools."
Burke partnered with Save the Music for the release of "Removed," donating a portion of the album's proceeds to the organization.
After Burke's album was released, he blogged about its immediate success (hitting the Billboard "Heatseeker's List" and reaching number one on label CD Baby's bestseller list), saying "There is no ugly corporate monster pulling switches and manipulating the sales or promotion of this album. There’s no motive other than the desire to provide you all with some music that in turn, just happens to provide ME with an artistic outlet I’ve kept bottled up for more than a few years. In short, (and at the risk of sounding ridiculous) it’s just about LOVE, people. Love and music– the two undeniable, universal languages. It is solely the love and support that’s coming from all of YOU that is fueling this machine and with a portion of the album’s proceeds going to Vh1′s “Save The Music” program, we couldn’t be prouder or more ambitious to spread it as far and wide as we can."
More information on the 2010 Save the Music Gala can be found here.

Stephenie Meyer reveals the status of 'The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide'


'

In another release from the Stephenie Meyer Eclipse fan junket, Twifans.com has gotten the details on progress of The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide - the guidebook which has been on most Twilight  fans' pre-order list for years by this point.
"[I]t's continuing," she said, "It just … it keeps evolving. So then we have to catch up … I don't know. I hope that when it comes out, it's amazing. Because it seems like a lot of effort has been put into it at this point. And it is kind of evolving, and 'let's do this, no let's do this'. It's going to have a lot of great information, and it’s really cool. I think my favorites are the genealogy charts for the Quileutes. They are beautiful....they're lovely . . . So it's my mission that this has everything correct. Which would be great. Hopefully, not forever.....to go on it, we'll see. You know....movies interrupt things a lot. Movies are a time-sucker!"
You can listen to the audio and read the full transcript from the interview here.

Melissa Rosenberg gives us a ‘Breaking Dawn’ update

Melissa Rosenberg took to her official Facebook page today to give us an update on the work she and director Bill Condon are doing on Breaking Dawn!
Hi Guys – SOOOO great to read your thoughts on important moments in BD. I’m very much in agreement with almost every single thing you’ve mentioned, which makes me happy. And relieved. Still working away on all of it – it’s far from finalized. But grateful to you all!!! xoxo Mel

Vote Rob/Kristen as the “Hottest Vampire Hookup

HollywoodLife is asking who the hottest Vampire Hookup is, and Rob (Edward)/Kristen (Bella) are on the list! Head over here to vote for the Twi duo!  Here are the other pairings they are up against:
  1. Edward & Bella, Twilight: Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) & Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) get hot & heavy in the Twilight saga.
  2. Katherine & Damon, The Vampire Diaries: Katherine Pierce (Nina Dobrev) & Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) gave into more than a century’s worth of temptation on the second season premiere of The Vampire Diaries.
  3. Eric & Sookie, True Blood: Fearing he would soon meet “the true death,” vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) said his one regret would be not having kissed mortal waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) on True Blood. So he did!
  4. Buffy & Angel, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Years before Sooki, Elena or Bella found their vampire lovers on-screen, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) flirted with danger on a weekly basis. As a vampire slayer, her romance with Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire with a soul, wasn’t just forbidden — it was also totally hot!
  5. Stefan & Elena, The Vampire Diaries: After reaching a new plateau in their relationship, vampire Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) and human Elena Gilbert finally decided to sleep together on The Vampire Diaries.
  6. Bill & Sookie, True Blood: Anna & Stephen Moyer aren’t just a hot couple in real life. Their True Blood characters, human Sookie Stackhouse and vampire Bill Compton, are ALWAYS shacking up. They even had sex in a graveyard once!
  7. Buffy & Spike, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: When Angel left town, Buffy found new love in the arms of another vampire, Spike (James Marsters.) There’s still a heated debate to this day as to which vampire she truly belonged with.

Eclipse soundtrack artist Florence (+ the Machine) loves her some Twilight

Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine discusses reading Twilight and recording a song for the Eclipse soundtrack.  Read more at People.com.
3. She’s a Twi-Hard
With her music prominently featured in movies and movie trailers (including Eat Pray Love most recently), Welch was excited to write an original song, “Heavy in Your Arms,” for the Eclipse soundtrack. “I thought I could write a song that would kind of suit the atmosphere,” she says.
Plus, she had done her research: “I went on holiday with my family [and] me and [my sister] Grace only had one book between us,” Welch recalls. “We were sharing a room and we’d be reading Twilight to each other at night. She’d fall asleep and be like ‘You can’t read ahead of me!’ And I’d be secretly reading faster than her.”

Coming soon: The Twilight Saga Triple: The Story So Far (Blu Ray)

UK online retailer Play.com currently has for pre-order a three-disc Blu Ray that features the entire Twilight Saga thus far: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse!

Jackson Rathbone Interview


Courier-Mail has an interview with Jackson Rathbone.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:

Don’t worry if you’ve not heard of him before. The 25-year-old Texan isn’t exactly a household name, but thanks to roles in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and now The Last Airbender, Rathbone is fast-tracking his way to box-office glory.

“It’s very exciting,” says Rathbone. “When I was a young actor starting out at 19, I could never have imagined this scenario. Being a part of two franchises is really an amazing feeling.”

MTV: Top 4 Renesmee scenes to look forward to in ‘Breaking Dawn’

[I'm just going to start this post with a SPOILER ALERT because there is no attempt to retain the secrets of Breaking Dawn. Consider yourself warned.]
And a wonderful happy birthday today to miss Renesmee Carlie Cullen! In celebration of her birth,  MTV has created a list of scenes they are looking forward to most in Breaking Dawn that feature the dear child Nessie.  Here are their picks:
1. The birthing scene
Sorry, Nessie, but this is one we’re dying to see. How will Bill Condon and Melissa Rosenberg make the birthing scene terrifying without making you seem like a monster? After all, you become one of the most beloved characters in the film by “Part 2.” We’re glad that’s their challenge to deal with and not ours!
2. Jacob’s imprint
Once again, this is a challenge we do not envy Taylor Lautner for having to deal with: falling madly in love with a newborn baby right out of the womb after just one look. Hopefully it will come across as beautifully in the film as it does in the book and doesn’t just end up being really creepy. Also, we’re really interested to see what exactly Jacob will imprint on, which leads us to our next item.
3. CGI or actual person?
This has been the big question all along: Will Renesmee be CGI or an actual girl (or many girls, we guess)? To use a CGI newborn instead of a cute, cuddly little baby seems like the wrong choice, but also, how else will they be able to get across the very many unique characteristics that Renesmee has? We’ll be interested to see what the crew comes up with.
4. Supernatural abilities
Renesmee is supposed to be a completely unique creature, and she is definitely something we’ve never seen in the “Twilight” universe before. It will be interesting to see what special effects are used to represent her abilities on the big screen, and how much time will be spent developing how special Renesmee actually is. After all, that will pretty much be the main plot line for the second film.

Second trailer for Cam Gigandet’s film ‘Priest’

Want to see Peter Facinelli play Ronald Reagan in a new biopic?

A new film is being made based on the life of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan, and MTV has made some suggestions as to show they think could play him.  One of their suggestions is Papa Cullen himself, Peter Facinelli!
Peter Facinelli
Obviously some of you are going to think that Peter Facinelli is on the list to placate the “Twilight” fans. This is MTV; you’re a big part of our audience. No. Facinelli is actually a strong actor, he could be made up to resemble the former prez and, as he’s proven in “Twilight,” he can play an older man as well as he does a younger man. A good pick for capturing Reagan at the varying stages of his life.

Two New Rumored Breaking Dawn Cast Members?


IMDb has listed two new ‘rumored’ cast members to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.   Drew Roy is rumored to play Nahuel and Guri Weinberg is listed to play Stefan.   The Twilight Examiner’s Amanda Bell has information on these two rumored cast members.
The first is Drew Roy, who the site notes is “rumored” to play “Nahuel.” That character, if you can’t quite place the name, is the one which [*spoiler alert*] which comes in at the very end as proof that “Renesmee” wasn’t the only one of her kind in the world and that she would grow up to normal size like the mortal that she is. As the Twilight Saga Wiki points out,  ”Nahuel is described as an extremely handsome young latin man with rich dark brown skin, eyes the color of warm teak, and extremely attractive features. He wears his black hair in braid past his shoulders.” Drew Roy is a film and TV veteran of Hannah Montana, Greek, and others, and you can check out a picture of him here.
The second is Guri Weinberg, who IMDb.com has listed as “Stefan.” “Stefan” was one of the two Romanian vampires who had a particular distaste for the “Volturi” and hoped to see them fall once and for all. Per Twilight Wiki, “He has black hair and dresses in all black.” Guri Weinberg has been in films like Munich and You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. A good photo of him is available here.
