There and back again!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!
First of all…Many thanks to those of you who complimented my work or contacted me regarding an interview or to post an important update. I appreciate the trust and time it took to contact me.
OK so I see a lot of “Stuff” has been happening while I was away. Here are some highlights.
Comic con 2009 seemed to go well, if you call incurring serious hearing loss going well and the really asinine questions some people asked. 
Ok so we don’t want the questions censored, that would be wrong, but geez could someone not get an idea of what people are going to ask.
Doesn’t anyone want to know about how a particular stunt was done, or how Taylor brought out the emotion in particularly painful scenes. Especially the scene where Bella chooses to save Edward and leave him yet again. He’s only seventeen…who would break his heart?. What did he use to draw on?
And what did I think of the new clip? Well what I could hear of it above the screaming fans…the motorbike scene…was interesting but clipped. The flow was not there as it should be. Teeny tiny little gaps whose absence allow a smooth transition from one frame to the next. The sound was funny but that could be just the acoustics where it was played. Now the scene where Bella tells Jacob - your actually sorta beautiful or whatever the wording was…. That scene should have been slower I thought. It’s a poignant thing for a boy to be told he’s beautiful, without mirth and with a trusting intimacy.
Imagine, your a sixteen year old Jacob. The girl of your dreams,…is sitting in the dirt, blood flowing down her face. She stuns you by apologising for bleeding. You smile at how funny and silly and vulnerable she can be all at the same time. You take off your shirt to stem the flow of blood from her head. And she tells you, your beautiful!. Time slows as the words reach you. You look into her sad eyes and the world around you disappears. You dare to hope. On film this is mere seconds but it should have a more pregnant pause than it had, before Jacob’s uncertainty returns and he jokes about her head. These are moments you store and relive over and over.
I did not really see the Montepulciano clip, but I have it here for you, below.
Now let’s see hmmm!

Robert Pattinson said in response to a question at Comic Con that he had read Midnight Sun!. The book is finished??? For those of you who don’t know (there might be one) that’s the book from Edward’s point of view, leaked and then unfinished by Stephenie Meyer. Can this be verified? The book is finished? Anyone?
OK so in my absence I hear Rachelle Lefevre was dismissed by Summit and will not now be in the third installment of the Twilight Saga -Eclipse. What happened?
pic: examiner.com
Well it seems Rachelle obligated herself to work on another project that will place her in Europe during a shoot when she should be in Canada filming Eclipse. The bone of contention seems to be around a ten day period. Ok some actors are accommodated in this regard and leeway is given. Summit say they were not informed in time (not quoting here) and went ahead and hired Ron Howard’s daughter Bryce Dallas Howard.
Fans are upset. Rachelle is upset and defended what she did. Petitions are up on YouTube already. Is there too much ground to make up now? I say no …except for the one nail in her coffin that cannot be retrieved. Summit put out a statement defining their motives and blurring Rachelle’s. Sounds to me like they laid this saga to rest. Lesson?…Don’t leave it too late to inform your studio of scheduling crossovers, (if that’s what actually happened).
If you took emotion out of the equation, I’d say this. A contract is a contract is a contract!. But I’m human and I feel for Rachelle. Who knows what really happened.
News in brief:
Michael Welch had a birthday on the 26th. Happy Birthday Michael, hope it was a good one!
Taylor Lautner cheated on Selena Gomez…yawn!!!! Seventeen year olds don’t cheat, they hang out, buy frozen yogurt, then they get bored and hang out with someone else! So what!.
David Slade is storyboarding and location hunting and drinking coffee and sleeping. Slade to the cause eh!
Joke: A vampire bat returned to his cave to roost. His face was covered in blood and his hungry friends asked excitedly, “Where did you get the blood from”? ” Follow me”, he said and off they went into the dark forests of the night. “Do you see that ledge jutting out over there beside the trees?” He said. “Yes” they replied salivating. “Well I bloody didn’t”.
Take care and keep watching the movies and reading the books.

Vampire!
Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!
There is no earth shattering news, no real gossip, no remotely interesting new facts on New Moon or anything else for that matter, so here are some pics and I made up a story for you guys to pass the time!
Pics courtesy of: www.newmoonmovie.org www.twicrackaddict.com www.radaronline.com www.fanpop.com and the National Parks and wildlife service , Louisiana. Enjoy!
Vampire!
They came through the mists of time!
Shadowy creatures of the night. Human and yet…not human!. Always they were met with suspicion and hostility. Their reputation racing before them like a tidal wave of fear and resentment.
No one invited them into their homes and no home was complete without wooden steaks and garlic over the door. Children wore silver crosses to keep them safe and were never allowed out after dark.
As a result the vampires were rarely seen and kept to themselves. People would go missing and then turn up days later dazed and confused. These abductees lived a half life. By day they would go about as normal but by night they would do the vampires bidding when called upon. This was achieved by placing the subject in a trance, implant specific orders and commands and wake them from the trance with no memory of their ordeal. Secret words and phrases were all that was needed to awaken the willing slave in them.
Others would go missing and never return. Vampire slaves brought them to their masters. These were often men or women who openly called for the extermination of all vampires and their deaths sent a message loud and clear. Speak out against us and those will be your last words.
Centuries passed and although people still went missing, the vampires were not heard of again.
They faded into the mists of time once more and disappeared. That is…until now!
Evangaline County was a picturesque haven for back packers and tourists who came from all over to be at one with nature. Rangers patrolled the favourite tourist haunts making sure everyone had a pleasant visit and kept safe. The bayou was a no no though, as even the most knowledgable tourist eventually got lost and had to be located via bloodhounds and angry rangers who had to put in overtime to locate them.
Locals paused to listen every time the baying hounds were heard in the bayous and forests. They’d shake their heads and return to their swept porches and creaking screen doors. Every year, same thing. Some idiot would go missing and the bloodhounds would keep half the county awake at night. The rangers wore out the words “Read the signs and obey them. They are there for your protection”.
Ranger John William Cordes, JB to his friends, had been out patrolling the east bank of Lake Valentine. The evening was still and warm, disturbed only by the cacophony of insects in the trees and at the waters edge. His face was a sea of tranquility as he looked out over the water and the setting sun sinking below the horizon. Cordes loved this place, loved his job too and if he were to die right now he would be at peace. No regrets!
Such was his harmony and oneness with nature that he did not notice the sudden whisper of a breeze that rustled the leaves on the trees behind him.
“Good evening Ranger”.
The voice was deep and rich and the body it belonged to emerged from the treeline with the easy grace of a cat. Of average height and build, he was perhaps thirty, wearing only jeans and a t-shirt. No shoes!.
JB spun on his heels when he heard the voice. Startled, the words flowed from him. “Where in blazes did you come from? Are you lost? You know your not supposed to be on this side of the lake”…
“Valentine is beautiful, is she not?” the stranger interrupted, sweeping a hand across the lake. “You love her do you not?”
JB held his gaze. “Yes”, he said slowly, more composed now. “It’s where I met my late wife”. JB paused, looking more closely at the man. “You know, it’s dangerous to be out here alone”.
The stranger smiled and looked around him. “The alligators and bears hold no fear for me. I was born here”.
He turned back to JB still smiling. “You are alone”.
“Yes, but I am a Ranger and …” JB started to say ,but as the stranger moved in close to him he realised not only was he much taller than he was, but his eyes were an unusual colour, like burnished bronze.
An eerie chill began it’s life in the pit of JB’ stomach. He could not move though his mind screamed at him to do so.
“You have been happy here, in this life. But now it’s time to leave Valentine, for she has always been mine”.
The vampires words were gentle, soothing almost and even as JB saw the fangs slowly emerge from the corners of his mouth he realised his earlier fateful words had been true. He had been happy here and he had no regrets.
The lifeless body of Ranger JB Cordes fell to the ground. The vampire Lalique turned and faced the trees once more as three more vampires emerged from the treeline. Lalique was no longer smiling, his mood gone.
With a resigned sigh he said. “Emil, swim down to our pets and give them their supper”.
Emil, a tall blond, grinned immediately and ran to the water, grabbing the dead rangers leg as he went. With a loud “Woo hoo” he leapt into the air and hit the water with a loud splash some thirty feet out, then disappeared, taking the body with him.
“Welcome to Evangeline my friends. It is good to be home at last”.
As Emil swam to the shore and shook the water off, the others moved back to the trees and were gone. A shiny object caught his sharp eyes and he bent to pick it up. Even if there were no moonlight Emil would still have been able to make out the words engraved on the inside of the gold wedding band.
“JB + Cordelia love Valentine”.
“Hmmm, a sentimental people” he said quietly.
Emil spun on his heel and flung the ring out over the lake. Before it hit the water he was gone.
Well it ’s untidy but it’s a short story I made up on the spur of the moment so don’t be too harsh ok?
I did not do the usual research or detailing I do when I actually think about a story. Sorry it’s rushed.
Hope you liked it anyway.
As always take care and keep reading Twilight.

Peter Facinelli in Dublin, Ireland!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!
Today I thought I’d give you a little taste of Peter in Dublin.
Well there was a huge Cead míle failte (a hundred thousand welcomes) for Peter at Forbidden Planet recently.
Peter appeared at Forbidden Planet, Dublin, Ireland for a signing and as you can see Irish fans and (as you can hear…U.S and English fans!) can scream just as loud as anyone else.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCXlStFtfQM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYd1ZTO5Urc&NR=1 Ever danced sideways in the pale moonlight?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGizNQkZqsc Another little gig. (Type of Irish dance)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT3yG-Zx-38 More meeting the crowd outside and dancing.
Dublin were the proud hosts for a few hours as Peter signed autographs and ever the gentleman even asked if it was ok to allow a pregnant woman with a small child to skip the queue.
Ahh! isn’t he so nice. The good ones really are all married. eh?
Ireland’s national TV station RTE had this to say. 
Twilight star in Dublin to
meet fans
‘Twilight’ star Peter Facinelli, who plays Doctor Carlisle Cullen in the movies, is currently in Dublin.
The actor will be signing autographs and meeting fans in the Dublin comic book store Forbidden Planet this evening.
After appearing in last year’s film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s first novel in the ‘Twilight’ series, Facinelli will return to the big screen in November for the sequel, ‘New Moon’.
The actor, who flew to Dublin this morning following an appearance at London’s Comic Con yesterday, will be in Forbidden Planet from 7 to 9pm this evening, Monday 20 July.
And… here’s a long clip all about handsome Peter and his work. Enjoy!
As always take care of yourselves, talk soon. Annie :)
Wolves!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!
Our discussion today is called “Wolves”.
Now I love wolves, whether they are real or in werewolf form, (well…depending on the film. In “Dog Soldiers” they were great, in “Teen wolf” not so much… and now I anxiously wait for “New Moon”).
Real wolves are a wild beauty. Some people don’t like them. They think they are evil, cruel and violent. Apart from that just being man trying to attach human frailties onto a wild animal, a wolf cannot hope to match man in that respect. And they don’t have self pity.
” I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough with out ever having felt sorry for itself “ D.H. Lawrence.
Man fears what he cannot understand or tame. You might think you have tamed him, but you can never tame a wolf. If his spirit is not completely broken and he gets a chance to be free, he will take it. He will kill to survive, fight to the death for his pack, defend his borders against all enemies and always, always respect and obey the alpha male.
That is… unless your Jacob Black.
But then Jacob was different from the start. He was born Alpha. In the beginning he didn’t care about that. That is, until the very thing that compelled him became the thing that released him from his bonds.
Loyalty!
But we’re only at the beginning of Jacob’s journey, so let’s not jump ahead.
One day Jacob Black became a werewolf. In the beginning this was frightening for him, but he was not alone. In the midst of his rage and fear he became aware of other minds close to him. Not human minds with thoughts made out of words but something other. The minds seemed near but far away at the same time.
They were trying to communicate but he couldn’t understand, didn’t want to understand. He fought against the minds and raged on, but they persisted. One in particular, familiar but different.
His body quivered and shook, phasing and shifting until the anguish in his soul could be borne no longer. He screamed and the sound was not his but a more primal, wild sound.
wolf!
The one voice came to him again, this time more soothing, calming. The howling wolf that was Jacob began to listen.
The voice seemed closer now as it spoke. It told Jacob wolf he was not alone, there were others like him. Not in words but more like thoughts or a sense of thoughts. Jacob wolf could not explain it right but he felt the voice. And the voice was familiar to him, but who was it.
As if in answer an image came to him…Embry.
Tears welled up in Jacob’s eyes and slid down his fur covered jaw leaving a dark slick trail. Embry was this monster too. ” Not monster…wolf ” Embry wolf’s thoughts came to Jacob clearer now. ” There are more of us… We must go now, he is waiting for us, come”.
” Come where “, Jacob wolf thought but the other mind was empty except for a need to go somewhere, a compulsion.
Jacob’s ears pricked up and turned this way and that, listening. The world outside his home took on an eerie silence and then.
He could hear the sighing of the trees across the yard from his house. He could hear the rustling of small animals on the forest floor some distance away. Other sounds came to him as he reached out with his mind. An owl overhead, a creaking gate, the bark of an angry dog. How did he know that?. He didn’t know…he just…what? sensed it?, felt it?. Cars sped by on the highway. Could he tell if they were coming or going? Yes! he could.
Then he heard it.
Running!
The soft padded footfalls of paws on earth. The rhythm was steady, even, sure of its path. Wolf. Embry! Embry’s mind reached out to Jacob. ” Hurry Jacob, I’ve reached the river, you can catch me up. You were always faster than me. Hurry, they’re waiting for us. Run!
Jacob knew where the river was. He and Embry had been there many times. But it was miles away. How could he hear that far away?. As he thought about that, another voice came to him. It was deeper and older somehow and it resonated with authority.
” Jacob come, come now “.
As he took off into the forest outside is home with a speed and strength he hardly recognised, he heard the padded pacing back and forth of nervous paws on earth, retracing his steps over and over. Embry was waiting for him some 
distance away. Jacob sensed the urge in his friend to be running again and fast.
Jacob breathed in the crisp night air and immediately his nostrils were assaulted with an array of scents that made him gag and cough. One was a disgusting stink, but he found he could close it off from the others and tried again. There, a familiar one, many times over. It crisscrossed the ground in front of him as he ran.
The wolves had been to this part of the forest recently and again some time ago. As if looking for something. Argh! what was that stench?. He raced on ignoring it, concentrating on Embry’s scent. Did they know he would be one of them soon? Is that why Embry was so close tonight.
?
There were many things that Jacob suddenly just knew at that moment. He knew his life had changed forever. He knew his father’s crazy Indian folklore was true. He knew he would never be able to tell this to Bella Swan. How could he explain this?. With that thought he also knew he was a freak now, a monster and he had lost forever his chance to be with her.
He bunched his muscles and ran faster, tears stinging his eyes. A mournful, plaintiff howl broke from him into the night air and was followed shortly afterwards by several more joining in, one much closer.
And Jacob knew he had brothers.
Billy Black pulled away from the window and let the curtain fall. He had heard the wolves and knew Jacob was with them. ” It’s up to Sam now “, he thought.
He rolled his wheelchair to the doorway and picked up the picture of Jacob that sat on the dusty sideboard. The happy smiling teenager beamed back at him surrounded by his friends.
” You will smile again my son “, he said as he placed the picture back on the sideboard and headed for the bedroom, flicking off the light as he went.
Pics from: www.summit.com, www.firstpeople.us, www.interview.com
This of course is not in the book but merely a short piece based on Stephenie Meyer’s Jacob Black from the book New Moon. As she was fascinated by Edward and Bella, I am fascinated with Jacob. And if all goes according to the book Jacob Black will rise from the shadows and into the light on November 20th.
He better! or Team Jacob will have something to say about it. lol .
As always take care, Annie
Polls, Paparazzi and Presents!
Hi and welcome to discussions with Annie!
Soon we will be hearing about what’s going on, on the set of Eclipse, in Vancouver, Canada. This August all the stars will be back at work on the second sequel to Twilight. Some will be tanned and well rested from the summer break only to be pasted white again as vampires on the set.
If Taylor’s got a tan it will fit right in as he’s shirtless most of the time in Eclipse so should look tanned. Some will have worked through the summer and have had little time to relax. I am reminded of the constant screaming and grabbing fans Robert Pattinson has had as his daily torture on the set of “Remember me”. The media frenzy surrounding him is beyond belief. It must be suffocating to be him right now. It seems to me if the fans really did love Rob they wouldn’t be making his life a misery.
In the meantime…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlPLkLCw0jI “yesterday’s” with Rob and Kristen.
“Riley” has been cast.
It seems at last the part of “Riley” has been filled and we can now look forward to little known actor Xavier Samuel as handsome, besotted and totally under the influence of evil vampire Victoria being in the third installment of the Twilight Saga. 
The Australian actor, 24, is joining the cast of Eclipse, the third film in the extremely popular Twilight franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Samuel is set to play Riley – a good-looking vampire (are there any other kind?) – who joins the villain Victoria in a plot to kill Bella Swan, in revenge for Bella’s Edward Cullen killing Victoria’s beloved Vampire James. (pic: People.com )
Harry Potter stars beat Twilight stars!
A recent popularity poll shocked the Twilight world by revealing the results which showed that Robert Pattinson, Taylor lautner and Kristen Stewart scored lower than their Harry Potter counterparts Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Of course the new Harry Potter release had to factor into that. Take the poll again on November 20th and see if the results are the same. Hmmm!
… Anyway here’s the pictorial results.
Peter Facinelli is a carpenter in his spare time!
When the actor’s not working he disappears into his workshop to create new furniture for his home and sculptures for his family.
He tells People magazine, “I made my wife a big, beautiful birdcage, and I made a huge swing set in our house with a trap door and a sandbox.”
The fact that he calls it beautiful tells me that it turned out really well. Speaking as someone who is familiar with power tools and wood, It’s not easy to get things right…it takes a lot of patience. I bet he’s very patient. (pic: celebutopia.net)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gBIN5UfD9c Peter and family. Great pictures!!
Kristen harassed by paparazzi.
Paparazzi taking pictures and film of Kristen Stewart while she is trying to concentrate on the road and other cars is dangerous and not on. Their comments are designed to get a rise out of her and she could have had a accident. They should not be allowed to get this close to stars in moving vehicles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDg088UOyfI This is not on…
Do you think paparazzi should be allowed to interfere with stars going about their business? Post a comment and let me know what you think.
Rob on set with Ruby Jerins.
Here you see Rob with little Ruby Jerins on the street. Rob has been given a pink sleeping bag and Ruby carries a boxed gift.

Take care, comment if you want, or not. Annie:)
Interview with a Werewolf!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie.
Now my Mother site has this story already but I thought I’d give you the interview in full (well almost full!)
This exclusive interview has Taylor Lautner talking about New Moon with Michael Martin for Interview magzine and with photographs by Alasdair McLellan here’s the story…enjoy!
MICHAEL MARTIN: How is the Twilight phenomenon sitting with you?
TAYLOR LAUTNER: It’s the weirdest thing. Nobody really saw it coming. I mean, we knew we were making a movie of a very popular book, but we didn’t know how well it was going to do. When it opened, it exploded, and that was not something any of us saw coming. Filming New Moon is a lot different than the first one because this time we know what we are getting into.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_QvBnHGIeM Taylor interview.
MARTIN: Do all the expectations psych you out?
LAUTNER: I don’t think so. It puts a little more pressure on us than it did before. But for the most part, it’s been a blast.
MARTIN: So what’s in store for Jacob?
LAUTNER: He’s a lot different than he was before. He transforms mid-story—in the first half, he’s Twilight Jacob. I’m wearing a wig. My character’s very clumsy, outgoing, and friendly. When he transforms into a werewolf, he becomes something very different. It’s like I’m playing a split personality. Which is tricky, because sometimes I’ve had to play pre- and post-transformation Jacob on the same day of filming.
MARTIN: Is the premise similar to the book’s?
LAUTNER: The coolest thing about the series is that we stay very true to the books; it would be silly for us not to, because the books are exactly what the fans want to see. There’s an action side to it, which I love, and there are werewolves now. There aren’t just vampires. There’s a wolf pack.
MARTIN: What does it mean to turn into a werewolf?
LAUTNER: I think the most important thing with Jacob is that pre-transformation, he’s clumsy. He trips over his own feet. As soon as he transforms, he’s very agile. At one point, he flings himself through Bella’s window and lands at her feet, and that’s the first time Bella realizes this is a new Jacob: He never used to be this agile. I loved bringing out that side of him. The bummer is, when he becomes a wolf, that’s not actually me. When he does the cool fight scenes, he’s transformed into CGI.
MARTIN: You had to bulk up for the part.
LAUTNER: Absolutely. As soon as I finished filming Twilight, I knew I had to get to work right away; there could be no waiting involved. The day I finished Twilight, I came home and started bulking up. For New Moon, I’m 30 pounds heavier than I was in Twilight.
MARTIN: Do you feel like you’re walking around in a different body?
LAUTNER: I don’t at all. I haven’t noticed much of a change. I grew out of a lot of my clothes, though. I went from a men’s small to a men’s large.
MARTIN: Are you turning more heads?
LAUTNER: I don’t know. I should pay more attention to that. I hope so.
MARTIN: How does it feel to be the source of that sort of worship?
LAUTNER: I don’t even know. I don’t know if it’s really hit me yet. They’re just passionate for the series and for the characters, and we’re just lucky enough to be a part of this. I don’t think it has much to do with me personally; it’s more because I’m playing the beloved Jacob Black.
MARTIN: Were you a Twilight fan before?
LAUTNER: I was not a vampire or werewolf fan at all. I’d never even heard of the series. I auditioned for the role, and as soon as I got it, I started reading the books. I’m not a reader, but I really did get hooked on them.
MARTIN: Do you hang out with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?
LAUTNER: The whole cast is really close. It would be difficult for our characters if we weren’t. It’s a love triangle, and we need to understand each other. So the fact that we’re close and can talk things through in rehearsals, and if we’re out at dinner, we’ll just randomly start talking about the scene we’re shooting the next day . . . If we weren’t able to do those things, I don’t know where we’d be.
MARTIN: What’s in store for that love triangle?
LAUTNER: Twilight develops the relationship between Edward and Bella. In New Moon, Edward leaves, and Bella needs someone to bring her out of this depression she’s in, so she turns to her best friend, Jacob. It looks like it could go past friends. Bella’s very confused. Jacob wants nothing more than to be more than friends. He wants Edward to get out of there so he can move in for the kill.
MARTIN: What would you like to do next?
LAUTNER: I love action films. I’d love to do an action drama. I’m always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do.
MARTIN: Is the third Twilight movie happening, and are you in it?
LAUTNER: Yeah. We’re all staying focused on New Moon right now, but that’s in the back of our minds.
MARTIN: What would you be doing if not acting?
LAUTNER: I always played sports when I was young. I played football and baseball for eight years. I loved football. So maybe I’d be doing some kind of sport. I also loved writing and directing. So maybe that could be in my future too. I’d love to get into that.
MARTIN: You want to be a screenwriter?
LAUTNER: Possibly. Right now I’m an actor. But I could see that in my future.
MARTIN: You’ve got some time.
LAUTNER: Yeah, I’ve got a few years ahead of me.
See the full interview (Yeah it was even longer) at www.interviewmagazine.com/film/Taylor-Lautner
Take care. Annie
Rob’s fed up!…
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie,
Robert Pattinson fed up with New York?.
Is this true?…yep!… I’d say it is. The bodyguards shadow him where ever he goes. He can’t go anywhere alone. He is constantly deafened by screaming fans and paparazzi who yell things at him. He went from happy and fun on the set of New Moon to downward looking and glum on the set of Remember me. Back home in London England, things would be different. Rob would not be as harassed as he is in New York. Check out the photos and see how time in New York has worn him down.
Pics: sponkit.com , cullenboysanonymous
Security have told Rob not to look at fans directly which is why you see him with his head down all the time. Even though reports have said that he is losing weight due to stress, it’s not obvious to me. He was always skinny.
He just looks unhappy. Emelie, who seems a happy person, is a good distraction and Rob supposedly has been teaching her to play pool (read that somewhere, forget where). Here’s what Fanbolt had to say.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyx-GOJLCF0 Paparazzi everywhere, Rob’s fed up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9d_RhPTa3Y Rob, Emilie, and Pierce Brosnan on set.
Lee Safar’s song “I’m Here” could be on New Moon sound track!. source: Hollywood crush.
[Rumors have been swirling for months about which artists will be featured on the hotly anticipated New Moon soundtrack, from Coldplay and Kelly Clarkson to a "Twilight" member himself, Jackson Rathbone and his band 100 Monkeys. Well, if Facebook rumors are true, you can now add Aussie artist Lee Safar to that ever-growing list.
The Facebook pages of both Lee and "Twilight"make reference to the possible inclusion of Lee's song, "I'm Here," on the soundtrack. Lee describes her sound as "Evanescence meets Sarah McLachlan," and after listening to the track in question on her MySpace page, I couldn't agree more.] Here’s the song.

http://www.teenchoiceawards.com/index.php Vote for your favourite at Teen choice awards. Don’t forget okay? and go on! you might as well vote for the other vampires as well, they’re not in the same categories as Twilight so no direct competition. Keep the vampire universe going. Yay!
Now my family have a fondness for board games and the like so I thought I’d show you the new Twilight Scene it? one. Now like the other Scene it? games it’s interactive. You get a disc to put in your X-box or whatever you use and you are asked questions about Twilight. Question formats change and you could be watching a clip, or unscrambling an image and sometimes it’s timed. I’ve played a horror one and it was scary and fun…but once we got through the whole collection of question scenarios, we would remember answers and got bored with it. I think we still have it somewhere though. Worth a buy though, for when the family are together.
Speaking of buying, I heard about the supposed competition between Harry Potter and New Moon. This is more unresearched rubbish and I’ll tell you why.
1) Whilst the Twilight Saga is hugely popular and I am a huge fan, it has to be said that Harry Potter by far out sells Twilight. It’s been around far longer than Twilight and the books were a sell out the nanosecond they reached the stores. (I know for a fact in my neck of the woods, staff at stores didn’t even bother to put them on shelves, they sold right out of the boxes).
2) There is no competition between them as the movie release dates for each are carefully staggered.
3) And finally some hard facts. The Twilight books were best sellers and the movie made $382 million dollars in the U.S (and I don’t doubt for a second New Moon is going to be even better). The Harry Potter series however made (are you sitting down?) 400 million in book sales and 4.5 billion all in, between the movies (box office) and merchandising and so on. Source: Google.com.
Harry Potter is so popular that a New york company ” Bauman Rare Books” has a first edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998) for $13,500 dollars. By shocking comparison the same book store has a first edition of the great Ernest Hemingway’s “For whom the bell tolls” 1940 for only $2,700 dollars. ( I once sat in Hemingway’s chair in a bleached white coffee house over looking the sea in Antigua. The heat was oppressive and as I ate lunch I wondered how much it had changed since his time.) Little side tracked there!
As always send us your thoughts and beefs if you want.
Take care Annie

Vanessa Hudgens and pal Taylor Lautner are just two of the many confirmed presenters for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards in August. The duo will be joined by Kristen Bell, Ashley Greene, Daren Kagasoff, Shawn Johnson, and Emma Roberts among others. The Black Eyed Peas will also be performing! Pic: Idazzleyou.com.
Speaking of Taylor, Alyson Stoner (right) has come out and said she is not dating Taylor, they are just friends
. Allllllllrighty then Alyson!.
Remember the prom scene in Twilight? Well, that location, the View Point Inn in Portland, Oregon, is currently in trouble and needs donations.
They are also petitioning for Edward and Bella’s wedding to be held there for Breaking Dawn. As we know, they got married at the Cullen house.

Below is a cool Scotti Hughes photo of Jackson Rathbone with his hair cut Sokka style from the Last Airbender movie and below that, the actual Sokka avatar cartoon character. Cool eh!
Now as most of you know by now the first premiere of New Moon will be in Knoxville, Tennessee and I thought you might like a little look see at the locale to get an idea of the place in case you’d had it in mind to get tickets and visit. Details are not finalised yet but will be soon. Photos courtesy of the Department of Tourism, Tn. Beautiful place.
And before I go check out this really cool photo Gil Birmingham posted on his website of Alex Meraz (Facing the camera) who plays Paul and 6′2″ Chaske Spencer(pointing) who plays Sam Uley setting up for a scene in Vancouver , Canada a while back. Kristen Stewart has her back to the camera.
Take care Annie
