Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!

As part of my recovery program lol!, and for all you Edward fans I have written a small piece on Edward Cullen, but first some pics from Germantwilighters and Newmoonmovie.org on the 36th annual Vision Awards, kristen out and about and other stuff. Enjoy.

Generous Peter Facinelli  has given up his time to appear at a major Affliction store in LA to sign autographs and encourage the fans to donate money to charity. Affliction has pledged $10,000 dollars and any purchases made will bring you right up the queue to see Peter. What a kind man he is.

Taylor Lautner  and Ashley Greene  among others went to the 36th annual Vision Awards. You could pretty much talk to anyone, except Taylor’s publicist was not letting Taylor talk to or sign autographs but he did take to the podium but it’s not clear if he presented an award or not. Gil Birmingham also attended among others.

  Kristen (right) heading for her car in LA. What looks like beer bottles on the curb could be the recipe for a staged photograph. But we know better eh!

The now famous lip venom by DuWop and pretty Christian Serratos (left) at the awards.

And here’s a clip of Rob DeFranco at the salon preparing to get waxed. Ouch!

Melody!

Edward had been still for a long time.

Seated as he was, one could not imagine a more lifeless form. Like a beautiful marble sculpture he remained frozen in repose, his long fingers rested on the polished ebony and ivory keys of the even more polished grand piano. Like Edward, the piano he touched merged with him into the sculpture. A large piece of art in a mostly vacant room.

Edward could sit like this for a very long time. He was a vampire and vampires could do this. But he was only still on the surface. Deep in the happy recesses of his mind a movie was playing out.

There was a girl with warm brown eyes and pale skin framed in beautiful dark brown hair. Through the camera lens he watched her watching him. Her face a study in consentration as she tried to unravel the mystery of him. She turned her head then and looked out across the sunlit meadow. There was no fear in those brown eyes. There should be fear.

Instead a crease deepened between her brows and her teeth caught her lip the way it does when she was about to ask a question and thought it silly but really wanted to know the answer anyway. She looked down, her hooded eyes hiding the burning desire to know. Soon she would breathe in and quickly blurt it out and colour as red as a rose would rise up and settle on her pale cheeks.

Edward smiled at the memory. Her blushes were precious to him and he recorded forever each one. As the movie played out in his mind he studied her face. He had started to play the melody but it drifted from him and he followed it into his mind, where he found it again, with her.

As if a coin was dropped into a nickelodeon Edward’s fingers began to move again. The melody wove it’s way around the room and up the wide staircase in the hall. It searched the long passages and open doorways until finally it drifted into a room at the end of the hall. There, a young girl, beautiful in slumber rested on a bed. The glass wall on the far side of the room allowed the pale morning sunshine to cover the sleeping girl.

She did not notice. She was not really there. The music had drifted far and had found her. Her back was to the light and she was dreaming. Dreaming of Edward in the sunshine, his diamond skin a brilliant sparkling white. Dreaming of the first time he had put his arm around her in the school yard before going into class, with the whole school watching. Dreaming of the first time he had kissed her in her bedroom. Happy dreams!

The music retreated, retracing it’s journey back down the stairs to Edward. As it reached him , as gently as it started, the melody stopped. It was finished. Bella’s lullaby!

Edward rose smoothly and went to stand by the window. He looked out over the forest before him as it met a new day. He had no need for sleep!. He was vampire and vampires had no need for many things.

There he stood, quietly in suspended animation until it was necessary to move again.

Take care and…Welcome to my world…Annie

We’ve got your back!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie,

Now before I get into whatever is bugging me today, I want to welcome a new blogger on our  www.twilightmovies.org site. Her name is Micaela and you can find her blog at www.twilightmovies.org/blogs/mac , so check it out and show her your support. On behalf of everyone…welcome Micaela.

 Here are some interesting links for you to watch. Enjoy!

Now Taylor Lautner has been the subject of some strange and in some cases pointed remarks of late.  My Park magazine has this to say. aboutTaylor.                                                                                                                

[Friday, 26 June 2009

Taylor Lautner really needs some support.

Robert Pattinson has so many fans that it's making Taylor look unpopular.]  pic Daily Telegraph.

Hollywood Crush has a higher reading from IMDB’s starmeter for Zach Galifianakis  (of Hangover fame) for hotness over Taylor. WHAT?????

From HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: OK, well maybe IMDb’s STARmeter isn’t saying that Zach Galifianakis is technically hotter  than Taylor Lautner, A reference to Zach being higher on the starmeter than Taylor.

No offence intended to Zach (who is hilarious) but that is ridiculous. Zach is simply more popular because he has just starred in the popular movie “Hangover”.

From the National Enquirer:    Pic from My Park magazine.

TWILIGHT vampire Taylor Lautner, who is said to be the star of the sequel, is dateless and living in the shadows of heartthrob Robert Pattinson

The 17-year-old “dumped his girlfriend after he made it big - and now he is desperate and dateless” a source reportedly told US tabloid The National Enquirer.

Given the source and inaccurately calling Taylor a vampire you can be pretty sure this piece was very badly researched and only sensationalised to get a rise out of people like me…which of course it did ! The article below is infinitely more pleasing!

The envelope had this article:

Now that “New Moon” hottie Taylor Lautner is all buff and tough, he was spotted last night suspiciously sporting Calvin Klein at the CFDA Awards in New York.

Wearing a designer usually implies a “fashion relationship” in the works.

Will Taylor soon be gracing a Calvin Klein underwear billboard?

We can only hope and pray….

What do you think of Taylor’s trim and tailored look?

To that question a staggering 91% said they loved it. Way cool!.

This only goes to prove that Taylor is popular and it’s the media that drive this nonsense to the surface. Yes! Robert Pattinson has a huge following but wait til New Moon comes out..you’ll see. We as humans have a great capacity for compassion and after watching New Moon and Eclipse too, when it comes out, people will feel a sense of kinship with Jacob, the continuous heartbreak he goes through and all for the love of Bella Swan.

Like I said before, Jacob Black’s day is coming and he will rise from under the shadow of Edward Cullen. Just as Edward comes to realise that Jacob has Bella’s affections, the rest of the world will come to feel the same way too.  

The Jacob fans are loyal to the end (and not as hysterical as Edward fans) he he!.

But seriously, let’s show some support for the whole team and support the movie.

That reminds me of something else that bothered me. Why are some of the cast supporting Team Edward. This is wrong. There should be no supporting of Team anybody by the cast. They should be supporting the film and each other. When asked to choose, they should say…“I choose neither, I support Team Twilight Saga and all the cast members, we are like a family now and we don’t take sides”. I can’t believe Peter Facinelli  would insult Taylor like that. I know his character is Edward’s Dad but it’s still not right.

What do you think?

As always you are welcome.  Take care  Annie  

Icons!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie,

Can I start today by passing on my condolences to the friends and family of two great icons of music and TV and screen. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, the king of pop and the queen of the red swimsuit and an original Charlie’s Angel, passed away today a short time from each other. May they rest in peace.

Time and tide wait for no man…

I hear Twilight fans are retracing the steps taken by Bella Swan in the woods of Olympic National park, Washington. Park rangers have recorded a 30% increase in tourists visiting the park. Some…get this…have even turned up with capes and black lipstick. …!…Nah! I’m not goin’ there lol!. I’ll let you guys make your own jokes. But hey, they’re out in the fresh air. See…not only has Stephenie Meyer gotten young people to read more but now they’re taking more exercise, way cool. source: screenstar.com

Stephen Moyer  (pictured below) is not a Robert Pattinson fan according to MarieClaire. I’m sure right about now he’s regretting ever opening his mouth about this, but here’s the quote anyway.

“He’s a p*ssy! He’s the Slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires.”

Moyer plays Bill Compton on HBO’s True Blood. The series is in it’s second season and I’m sure he was just being loyal to his show which is based on Charlaine Harris’ truck load of vampire books on Sookie Stackhouse (human girl in love with a vampire). FYI written way before Twilight. So don’t start the hate mail on him…unless of course he really meant it personally, which I doubt.

Paparazzi waiting outside a restaurant for Ashley Greeneto leave witnessed an accident. The fenderbender happened right across the street from the restaurant and apparently a woman driver tried to leave the scene of the accident but the paparazzi stopped her. Ashley saw the accident seconds late but wisely got in her car and left. I don’t have the clip but I believe the woman was later arrested.

Lmao !!!!! Cullenboys.com have this pic and ask the question…“Have you ever wanted to be a cup?” haaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha. Could you obsess a little less people, this is dericulous (like I said before, so too a real word).                                 

Peter Facinelli has denied that he is a Team Jacob fan, even though an earlier post of his said just that apparently. His Twitter post according to The National ledger first said he was team Edward and a later post reversed this.

He had this to say.

“There’s been some confusion. “The Team Jacob was a RT-retweet from someone else. I am and always will be Team Edward. Sorry. I know, Nepotism.”

I say he should be Team New Moon and not for or against a character. It seems most of the stars in the movie are for Team Edward. This is unfair and unsupportive of a cast member.

Twilightsweden has this pic of Chief Swan’s house in Vancouver, Canada. well not really in Vancouver…er…well yes really in Vancouver, but supposed to be in Forks, Washington. D’ya follow? Never mind.

Anyway I thought of a caption for it.

“Big Mac for Bella’s house”. lol. get it?

On a day that we find two of our stars have gone out, we search the heavens for comfort and inspiration. For those of us firmly rooted in the trials and tribulations of terra firma, we look to the stars to imagine a better life, to get lost in the magic and forget our troubles.

The creature that is human is less so without the sunshine of imagination,  the dull and dark and subdued become animated in it’s light, to be entertained is that shiny thing reflected.  Dany Brean 2009.

They are gone from us now and whether you liked them or not, the music will remain and so will the memory of the most popular calender pin up girl of all time with a Charlie’s Angel smile. They may be still and forever quiet now, but around the world a single thought is given wings and sent with them.

Icons!

RIP.

Take care and drive carefully! :)   Annie.

Edward in reality!

Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie,

As some of you already know I have posted over 48 pieces over the last two months. To view my older work just scroll down to the bottom of the page and view the older posts, or just click on the months (top right).

Now today’s discussion is Edward in reality  but I’ll get back to that.

First here’s Kristen falling on the set of the Runnaways.                                                                                    

She certainly took a heavy fall. That concrete must have hurt but Kristen got up straight away and kept going. That’s what I call being a pro.

Those pics from twilightmoonlighter:

And speaking of falls Robert Pattinson looks like he had one with this make-up from the set of Remember  me.

 Ashley Greene went for a little retail therapy with a friend. She looked happy and relaxed as she browsed her way through the stores.

I love her bag. It doesn’t matter what you wear,  or how your dressed…a good bag will erase all! lol!.

  Take a look at Dakota fanning…I hardly recognised her!  But she looked stunning in this 70’s style hotpants. Pic: Twicrackaddict.

 Oh! My God!… that’s all I have to say about this tattoo. This girl had a line from the book tattooed on her back on a red ribbon and a flower . The now famous line reads “Take care of my heart…I left it with you”. It looks pretty swollen. I hope she’s alright by now and the swelling has gone down.

 Alex Meraz has gone country and salutes the photogs as he takes to horseback riding in the woods. Pic: twilightportugal.

Today’s discussion is called In reality Edward!

If a real live living person  met a real live undead vampire, it probably would not go so well.

Let’s say for arguments sake it’s Edward. He’s handsome, he’s charming and your already melting into those dark honey coloured eyes.

But let’s face it he would be cold to the touch and when going to bed at night, he could not lay beside you. No one can sleep next to a cold block of marble all night, even if he is on the bed and you in it. Now that you’ve realised that this relationship has flaws, you go and do the unthinkable and fall head over heels in love with him.

In reality this could not work. Edward is too strong and you’d never get used to the cold feeling of his skin. Sure you’d enjoy the piggy back rides and the going so fast that everything is a blur but alas the sad fact is, Edward would crush you, (not meaning to) sooner or later. There would be a tragic event surrounding your existence in his life. If not by his hands, then some other vampires .

What do you think?.

Let me know and as always…welcome to my world.

Annie.

Young Lions!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie.

Have a look at these two New Moon book covers and see which one you like best. They are supposed to be out September 15th. For me there’s no contest. I don’t care if the whole world loves Edward, this is Jacob’s book, the cover should reflect that. Let’s keep some artistic integrity please and stop pandering to the obsession with Rob. pics: newmoonmovies.

 Heat Magazine has named Robert Pattinson the “sexiest man on the planet”.  Yes, they know what sells magazines. And quote…

The mag’s editor Julian Linley said the actor “is obviously very easy on the eye, but a lot of his popularity has to be down to the character Edward he plays in Twilight – strong, brooding and tortured, basically most women’s fantasy boyfriend”.

Speak for yourself please! He’s not MY fantasy boyfriend!, the star or the character. (that’s a personal opinion, not a personal attack)

 Edward has everything, looks, money, longevity. Jacob has nothing but becomes everything, to his people, to his brothers, to the town of Forks. As he grows taller and stronger, so does his self esteem, his capabilities, his friendship, his love and his loyalty. He fights for everything, feels pain and heartache intensely and his constant struggle with his body and his emotions give him a maturity way beyond his years. It is for these reasons that Jacob is by far the more interesting to me. Edward had everything from the start, Jacob’s struggles defined him and I respect his courageous handling of each new painful revelation. 

Melessa Rosenburg who wrote the script adaptation for Twilight and New moon has said that she saw no reason to veer off the book and for that we are grateful. She says of Eclipse that it is in progress. Melissa also works on Dexter about a serial killer. I love that show

Check out this trailer for The Last Airbender, which is directed by the one and only M. NIght Shyamalan. I have all his movies and love his style of storytelling. It stars our own Jackson Rathbone. Go see it ! No really go see it.lol!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC5dYClhRmo Jackson Rathbone’s new movie trailer.

And don’t say I never do nice things for the Rob/Edward fans…watch and enjoy!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcacur6N1eg

 A couple of posts back I wrote about all the Twilight cakes…well here’s another dessert of note. If your ever in the Tribeca area of new York, check out Robert DeNiro’s restaurant. The food is fantastic. It’s got scaffolding outside but don’t let that put you off. Check out the desserts, they really are a work of art.

I have two young actors in my house and I thought I’d introduce them to you. These two up and coming are brothers Cyril and Jacob.

First a portfolio pic of Cyril. He’s a natural! Loves the camera unlike Jacob whose a bit shy. Cyril has one blue eye and one green and yellow (like a marble). His favourite food is cheese, favourite hobby is climbing palm trees or sleeping and is close to his brother Jacob. They are in a movie together right now. Cyril is fond of method acting and in this next still he plays a buttercup talking to his mother. This was eventually left out as the buttercups actual children were in the frame and so it was cut.

Now Jacob doesn’t go in for all that “be the buttercup stuff”. He gets on with the job and goes home. Jacob is a fitness fanatic and exercises constantly. While Cyril was named after a cartoon character, Jacob was named after a character in a Stephenie Meyer novel. His eyes are a yellow ochre colour. Unlike Cyril who doesn’t work out, Jacob does his own stunts as shown here. Jacob must jump from a high wall to save his brother from an angry hornet’s sting. They used a stunt double as the hornet can’t act and stings for real every time. And this last pic is of Cyril from his last movie playing a vampire cat who seeks revenge on the cat who turned him . OK so yes…I’m kidding. But the antics my kittens get up to make me laugh so much I thought I share them with you and I needed a link so I made one up.  They are also responsible for misspelt words and chewed up notes. Jacob even tried to flick off the letters on my laptop keyboard. That kitty can’t sit still for five minutes.!!!!  I fished him out of the pond already.

As always, welcome to my crazy world.  

Slade to the cause!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie.

Now today’s discussion is called Slade to the cause,  but first some interesting musings!

Ever wondered what type of sunglasses Robert Pattinson wears…Answer lots, but here is one of them. They are Ray-Ban wanderer sunglasses in tortoiseshell and here’s a pic. Photo: RP-Portugal.

Check out Taylor Lautner in Toronto ,Canada having a wander round and seeing the sites on Saturday. He looks in good form and enjoying some time away from all the hype. Canadians don’t seem to hassle him too much so it’s probably why he’s smiling and relaxed.

Now you know Peter Facinelli won his bet with Rob De Franco right?  But did you know that there was a problem with so many twittering him that they thought it was spam and started to delete them. Check it out here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu0cql23rr0&feature=fvsr 

Smoking is a bad habit…a very bad habit. Do ya think someone at some point might have said to Rob “Listen Dude, it’s not good that you smoke, for your own health and everyone else’s”, not to mention the smell on your clothes and everyone around you.  This picture shows an ugly side of smoking. You get a cough as your lungs try to cope with the tar that’s smothering them. Maybe he had food go down the wrong way in this pic but it doesn’t change the fact that smoking kills. Wise up youth of the world, it’s NOT cool.

And here’s a pic from dangermagnet to appease all RPattz fans who think I am a Rob

hater. It’s simply not true, I just present a different point of view from you guys. It’s mass hysteria is all. Someday I must research the subject and find out why so many women young and old get a fixation on a star and where does it stem from. Pic: RP-portugal.

Now we all know David Slade is directing Eclipse but did you know that some of his early work was a bit scary and freaky. Yes David  directed some movies namely 30 days of Night and Hard Candy but he also did the Warp Vision videos which were pretty weird and creepy. I didn’t upload one cos I don’t know the age group of my readers. Given the “…just shoot me ” tirade and the nasty salute he gave to Twilight, will his irreverence affect Eclipse. I don’t know is the simple answer. He could be brilliant, a stroke of genius in hiring him. But what will he get out of reading the book?. Certainly not what we got out of it. I hope he does it justice, if not I’ll be sharpening pencils at dawn.

  David has committed himself to “…making the best film I am humanly capable of”.

Ok David, we will keep an eye on your progress and will ourselves do the best that is humanly possible not to be too impatient or cross if we don’t understand what your doing or you change scenes from the book.

Chris Weitz is not safe yet as the film wrapped, it’s all in the waiting game now for him. We hope, we hope, we hope .

So Twi’uns let me know what you think or not..I’m easy.

Take care and don’t smoke lol! Annie :D.

Lost and found!

Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!

I’ve been told to put my education to better use and write something decent. Oh! gawd. Fine!

But first this :D…

Ok Twi’uns,

So Peter Facinelli has won his bet and you know who lost and half a million hits later that someone (we won’t mention the poor guys name, the shame you know!) has to get on some very embarrassing strutting and girl singing in LA. lol!!!

Peter has been thanking the fans and letting us know that Rob has conceded. Can’t wait to see that. Pic from robmyworld.

The man can do no wrong, (stunningly handsome as this pic shows) who could refuse him.

So what’s the story with all these Twilight cakes that are turning up everywhere…and why aren’t there any New Moon cakes.  I have even seen a picture with Kellan Lutz and Edi Gathegi with a cake. Can’t find it now. Typical !

Some of the cakes are a work of art and it would be a shame even to cut into them and some… well, it’s probably good  that it’s a private party and no one else will see it. But hey it’s just a bit of fun. Just so I don’t entirely come from a “What do you know” point of view..I have made a lot of birthday cakes on various themes and it’s not easy. I had the most problems with Lilo and Stitch. Getting the colour right for one thing was a nightmare and then the super wide grin and peg like teeth was tricky.  Was I proud of it …yes!. Would I float a photo of it on the big ol’ WWW?. Eh!…there are no snowballs in hell.

This one though from cakecentral.com is pretty cool!                   

Check out the stunning Ashley Greene’s new movie Summer’s Blood when it comes out. Looks to be sharp as a blade and thrilling, judging by the poster.

Here she is at the Lakers official championship win celebrations. Pic from Twicrackaddict.

Ok so Edward is one hundred and eight years old today June 20th. It’s funny to mark a fictional characters birthday isn’t it? but we do, the followers, the ever faithful… we happy few…we band of brothers…er sisters. To the person the world’s women is really  in love with..Happy Birthday Edward!

  Kristen Stewart had this to say about Dakota Fanning according to Life and Style .

Now excuse me for sticking my two cents in, but I think Dakota has been “Acting” just a teeny weeny bit longer than you Kristen. Yes! she’s definitely controlled and poised and good natured and well mannered and polite and articulate and very hardworking and she’s also a very very good actress. She, in her young life to date has turned in some of the most incredible work on screen. True , there may actually be some liplocking between Kristen and Dakota’s character Cherie Curie, in the runaways movie but even at fifteen Dakota is a pro and she can handle it. (Hope it’s not too graphic though, I still see her as a little girl). Kristen is well suited to her part though.  pic from watchtwilightmovie.                                                                       

 Now I’m an honest and fair sort of person and I know I’ve said that Rob and Kristengate make me yawn but I do think that Rob has a sensitive side. 

Upon seeing the little notes on the door handle, he would not have the heart to throw them away. He would consider the little girls that wrote them and ponder them running home full of excitement and joy, knowing he had a little piece of them in his pocket.  Put it this way…he BETTER!.

They are only hysterical little girls and in a few years they will fall in love for real and wonder what the blazes they ever saw in Robert Pattinson. Some of course won’t, they are destined to live out their days in conscious and collective delusion. Apart but joined by some madness that prevents them from  spending a happy and fulfilled life with someone who loves them and not the idea of them. Someone they probably pass everyday on the street, who secretly loves them and they in their madness are too blind to even notice. Sad…so very, very sad! Sigh!.

On a very different and far more interesting note, I fished this piece out of the Internet sea. A curious mind went searching for some interesting lore about Italy and this is what they found. If your screamish don’t read on. Oh! what the hell do…it won’t kill you. Just might give you nightmares though but think of poor Bella and what she had to go through.

In March, the Associated Press reported that the remains of a woman believed to be a 16th Century vampire was dug up north of Venice in 2006.

Apparently, it was an old Italian tradition to bury believed vampires with a brick in their mouth.

This is the first instance of actual archaeological evidence of real vampires. The remains were dated and the woman was believed to have died during a plague. There was another mass grave nearby.

 Hmmm! actual archaeological evidence. All I see is a woman’s skull, dated 16th century with a brick in her mouth. (may she rest in peace). She was believed to be a vampire. The 16th century was a nervous time and the religious were just as likely to condemn you for combing your hair differently as deciding you were a vampire.

I liked history. The 16th century would put Italy in the renaissance period and the plague would put her in around 1629-1630’s so she’s over 370 years old. But that’s the 17th century!. And the older plague was in Italy in the 14th century. The 16th century is from 1501-1599. Maybe there was another plague. Maybe things were not recorded much back then. I thought the printing press was invented around that time?. Anyway cool story.

So post if you like if not …don’t like then. Your welcome either way. 

There are no words…

Seriously there are no words…lol!!

Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie.

Today I just wanted to share some pics…a sort of pictorial collage… a montage of the stars of Twilight…a visual story from unknown to famous…er…sort of…a…er…

Oh alright!!!! I’m just lazy…but it took absolutely eons to find all these pics and I have credited where I got them from and everything, so there ! 

Enjoy.

That last pic is of Jackson on the set of his new film and of course Taylor with his own screaming fans. As you can see all the Cullen boys are in great shape.

I put Emilie de Ravin in because she is Rob’s new love interest in his new film.

So what do you think?  Who is the most handsome and the most beautiful?????

Let me know what you think.

Talk soon ,      Annie 

Driven to distraction by fans!

Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!

Today we hear that things are getting a bit out of hand in New York as Robert Pattinson appeared to be hit by a cab whilst rushing away from fans whose hysterical screaming probably drove the poor guy to distraction.

Here’s the article….

RadarOnline.com witnessed the Twilight star get clipped by a cab around noon in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street.

He was not hurt.

It appeared as if the cab hit Rob in the hip. He stood there for a moment looking stunned. The bodyguard next to him checked if he was okay and then screamed at the fans: “You see what you did, you almost killed him!”

Pattinson will be shooting around Manhattan for the next four weeks.

His co-star in the film is gorgeous Lost TV actress Emilie de Ravin, who he has been seen hanging out with in the evenings.

(Photo: WENN)

Summit has put out a statement that Rob is ok so chill people!

It’s a mad mad mad world!

And some other news…

Newmoonmovie has these pics of the new Twilight calendar for 2010. (I know it’s only June…but the fans are getting restless). It’s out sometime in July so watch out for it.

  Twilightguide had this pic of Kristen… what could have inspired that expression, I wonder!. I kind of make that face when somebody cuts me off. Might be what happened here. Or somebody cut in front and stopped and took a photo. There is no end to some peoples bad manners.

But don’t get me started on other peoples driving!!!

Dakota seems to find it funny though!

Taylor Lautner has ( a few weeks back) auctioned his shoes for a special charity. He even auctioned a bag that he signed and kissed. Wonder how much that sold for. The stars for a cause charity has promised to give half of the money raised by the star to his particular charity. Now that’s a worthwhile thing to do on your day off. Go Taylor yay!!!!

And here’s some more pics of Taylor in New York.

 Courtesy of newmoonmovie.org Taylor on the red carpet in that beautiful suit and (right) arriving at a hotel in New York yesterday.

He looks tired, probably from crossing the country. To be constantly in motion must be very tiring what with all the comings and goings.

Even when he’s not working on a movie he’s in the gym every day. God! I’m exhausted just thinking about his life.

My discussion today is by way of a question. What do you think David Slade will do with Eclipse, given the irreverent remarks in the past for Twilight and the style of direction and movie choice in his past work?

With New Moon finished filming, we look to Eclipse to ask the next questions.

Will David Slade do a good job?, Is he the right person to direct? Who will play the next set of new characters.

I am most interested in Leah, Seth and Riley…not to mention the hideous Royce! Ugh! I hate that character and was so glad when Rosalie went back to settle the score.

let me know what you think…and as always welcome.  

To be or not to be…

Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!

Today we’re gonna be talking about fame.

How you got it!…how to keep it!…remembering where it came from!…and of course, the price of fame!

I’m also going to be talking about how people (especially young people) mistake celebrity for acting greatness.

But first this.

 Kristen Stewart just winds up the paps no end when she ignores them. (See the clip).

 Not that I mind too much, they are persistent and it’s hard sometimes to see them as people. However the way you treat people is a good indication of how they will treat YOU in the future.

Ya know, paparazzi have a keen sense for what’s news, that’s how we get to hear about stuff right?…so somethings up if they are doggin’ her so closely.

I like Selena Gomez’s new hair style. It’s kind of a bob I guess and the sixteen year old can smile like sunshine when she’s on camera and very professional. Sometimes though I see her look down as she walks and there’s that little far away look. Hmmm! Here’s some clips of Selena (Who is not dating Taylor Lautner (Obligatory to mention him) but he thinks she’s a “Great Girl“) at her bubbly best. She just makes me smile cos she a happy girl.

 All pics are googled and you probably can’t save them from this page…sorry!.

To be or not to be…

Now we all know that before Twilight, most of the cast were virtually unknown in the global sense, especially Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

The popularity of the Twilight Saga books and the subsequent making of the movie sky rocketed the trio to fame and fortune.

Were it not for the unique love triangle and the fact that one is a werewolf and the other a vampire, it would just be another love story and people would go home and dream happy dreams. But the story appealed to teenagers and that was the demographic that created a tsunami of hysteria about Edward and Bella and a phenomenon was born.

The media tapped into that to syphon off some of the magic and corner the market on gossip for their respective news shows, blogs and celebrity mags, which in turn boosted their all important ratings. The stars became stars and some developed a persecution complex, some remained aloof and others learned how to make it work for them. (I’ll leave it to you to figure that out!). Some are learning that this is a gift that can be taken away and have developed humility and gratitude and try to give something back.

Some take the fame and money but run from the people who made them famous (I’m not talking about crazy here) and the responsibility that comes with that. Some rehearse every answer or possible question so as to be in star persona constantly and reveal nothing of themselves. Some take everything in their stride because they have been here before.

To keep your fame you simply have to remember how you got there, who made you and develop a huge amount of patience for the photographers. Smile, stop for a few seconds, say hello and don’t put skeletons in your closet. Don’t be devious or underhanded…your sunk if you get caught being less than a star, less than a perfect person. If you cheated, lied or did something naughty, they’ll hunt you down and snap away until you see different stars.

Taylor Lautner is basking in the sunshine of fame while Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have just been given the bill.

Now one thing that’s sure to annoy me is when an actor ( I include female actors of course!), who has only been an actor five minutes, gets called the greatest star ever or the best actor in the world (the world must be a very small place indeed).

We all know young stars are rarely brilliant actors because they have not had a lifetime to perfect their craft. (Occasionally there is a rare find and a young actor is unusually gifted.) So when I hear about polls for the best looking man in the world, I just yawn at the absurdity. That’s all a matter of opinion and some people are totally deluded.

 But the great actors long since passed on would be turning in their graves to have today’s “celebrities” included amongst their much honoured greatness. ( No I’m not Edward Cullen’s age) I can only conclude that teenagers are running the mags and rags these days and God save them they have no better sense. Most of today’s celebrities are famous for being famous and not for being proficient at their craft. That to me that is just plain wrong.

To that end Twilight fans…I give you…just some of the true greats …who shaped the movies and showed us what can be achieved with commitment and self belief.

What do you think????? How many of the Twilight cast will join the ranks of the truly great. Let me know what you think.

Until next time..take care!

And welcome to my world!  Annie
