If you thought Twilight was great then just wait until you see New Moon.
Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene think New Moon is going to be miles better that Twilight.
Ashley told Reelzchannel: “New Moon is kind of a step up.
“In Twilight we built this foundation, it was almost like an indie film, we didn’t have that high level budget.
“Now, because of the success of Twilight we have this budget to go on and so everythings a little bit improved.”
Edi Gathegi added: “I think it’s just more active, things happening from the outset and I think there’s more forward movement in that scipt.”
We can’t wait to see Robert Pattinson and the rest of the Twilight gang again… we just hope November comes around fast.
Not being a fan, or the mother of a teen, I’ll admit my limited awareness when it comes to fashion accessories related to Twilight. Actually, until very recently, my knowledge went only as far as the abundant flair (virtual pin back buttons to the uninitiated) traded freely by Edward Cullen’s crew on Facebook.
Recently though, I was looking through a shoe-related newsfeed and ran across an article about some cleverly painted shoes crafted for specifically for Twilight’s diehard fans. It just seemed like a shame not to share them with you.
Digging a little deeper I found the shoes, primarily old school Converse Chuck Taylor high tops and other varied athletic shoes, are hand painted by a number of different artists. “There are a few of us that customize Converse Chucks, though similar, we all have our own unique style,” said English artist Sandira Reddy. “I also customize hoodies and wrist cuffs.”
Information on Reddy’s business, Canvas Warriors, can be found on MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/464986127. This includes ordering instructions for the shoes, which will set you back $140 a pop. Be sure to turn up your speakers and enjoy my favorite Muse tune, Supermassive Black Hole, while visiting.
Oh, I did write about decorating your own shoes not long ago, and quite frankly, I’m still not sure that’s a good idea unless you’re an artist like Reddy. If you are, rock on! .

Twilight film crews were rolling cameras at David Thompson secondary in Vancouver Monday — and an insider tells The Vancouver Sun they’ll be back again Tuesday.
Vampire fans were craning their necks to catch glimpses of the Twilight stars at the high school on East 55th Ave.
It’s unclear which New Moon cast members were on location, but stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are currently filming the blockbuster sequel in Vancouver.
Pattinson was seen dining at Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar in Vancouver’s trendy Yaletown last week. A call to the manager confirmed that the teen heartthrobs frequent the restaurant “two or three times a week.”
In the past few weeks, fans have been running off their feet to catch glimpse of the stars around the city. Filming crews have been spotted at Minnekhada Regional Park in Coquitlam, in Pitt Meadows and on location at Tofino near Long Beach.
Pattinson also attended the Juno Awards reportedly was friendly towards fans, even giving a hug to a waitress who served him at Azia Restaurant in downtown Vancouver.
Here is a massivee article about the twilight news we read every day…
On April Fools Day last week, I noticed something significant when it came to the news surrounding the Twilight camp. If you’re like me, you have Google alerts set up for Twilight, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (at the very least) and you browse though article after article looking for some new awesome piece of information to fulfill this Twilight void in your heart – rereading the books over and over again can only do so much for a girl. But, if you’re like me and you keep up with the Twilight news everyday, you might’ve noticed something: almost all Twilight articles are fake gossip rumors or one of fifteen stories written on the same subject.
So, April Fools Day passed like any other in the Twilight news realm. I glanced at the titles and then quickly dismissed them as just another hoax in a long line of hoaxes. When it comes to being an actual Twilight fan, these so-called Twilight reporters are starting to frustrate me quite a bit with their simple yet repetitive tactics. I’ll go over a few here.

More on…Twilight >>What lengths will they go to in order to include Robert Pattinson’s name in the title of an article?
I read articles every day that have absolutely nothing to do with Robert Pattinson. Just today, I read a blurb about Nikki Reed going to Sushi in LA with her friends even though the article had Pattinson’s name in the title. I’ve read articles that didn’t even relate to Twilight or any of the cast members that used Robert Pattinson’s name to get fans to visit the site.Rob rumors, although sometimes fun, can strive to be malicious just to get fans riled up.
So evidently Robert Pattinson leads a quiet life that just isn’t good enough for the overactive media. “There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me,” he says. “I never do anything.” But people want every little Rob detail possible, so they start making up controversial stories. For instance, it came out that Robert Pattinson had been stinking up the set of New Moon due to his lack of showering. Turns out, according to Rob, “I haven’t even been on the set yet!”Crazy Twilight hookups aren’t happening, but “sources” seem to report new ones each week.
Obviously some fans would love Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to hook up, but Kristen is in a long-term relationship with Michael Arangano so it’s not going to happen. After Kristen came out to specifically explain the Rob hook-up rumors and said, “It’s just totally false… Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close. But if we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him. And it’s like, I know this guy really well [laughs]. It’s only natural that we’re sort of leaning on each other, because we’re put in the most psychotic situations.” People got bored of the Rob and Kristen speculation so they moved onto Rob and Nikki Reed rumors. Nikki Reed visits Rob’s place so they obviously hooked up, right? Wrong. There are even plenty of Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed rumors. Until you give me proof, I don’t want to read about it.I’m sure there are plenty other fake stories out there. The only real stories come by once in a blue (new) moon and then every media outlet under the sun puts their own spin on it. Ninety percent of the writers haven’t read the Twilight series. Long story short, I’m tired of Twilight news for now. I cannot wait until real reports from the set of New Moon come out.
Luckily, I’m working on snagging a trip to the set and in May, I’ll be visiting Forks. That’ll keep my Twilight-centric brain busy for a while.
What do you think? Are you fed up with the Twilight news? Do you still like reading Rob stories even though they might be fake? What do you think?
t seems like we see something related to Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series everywhere we turn. From “Team Edward” T-shirts to movie release parties, it’s hard to escape the phenomenon that stemmed from four poorly researched books about the supernatural.
Bella Swan moves from Phoenix to Forks, Wash., and falls in love with the mysterious Edward Cullen, whom she later discovers is a vampire. Anything that could keep Edward and Bella apart ensues, putting off the inevitable: her becoming a vampire.
The characters are very obnoxious. Bella has grown up being painfully average and not outstanding at anything, so she is quite taken aback when the kids at her new school seem to want to be her friend.
Edward at first tries to keep as far from her as possible. He eventually admits that he is a vampire and spends his sleepless nights watching her.
Jacob Black, from the Quiluete tribe in La Push, becomes Bella’s best friend. He tips her off to Edward’s true identity, but also says that he doesn’t believe in tribe superstitions. When he becomes a werewolf, he is forced to believe in these legends.
Common knowledge about vampires no longer applies. Edward and his family do not drink human blood; they hunt animals and call themselves “vegetarians.”
They do not die a painful death and turn to dust in the sun; instead, it makes them sparkle. That’s right; apparently vampires sparkle.
The plot is predictable and relies heavily on coincidences the readers do not yet know.
In “Eclipse,” an army of young, untrained vampires is unleashed on Seattle. The Cullens plan to intervene to stop the slaughter, and lucky for them, Jasper just happens to have experience with the training and destruction of “newborns,” new vampires, from his living through a vampire war in the south.
There are also a lot of “duh” moments, when it seems unbelievable that one of the supposedly-intelligent characters hasn’t figured the problem out yet.
If you can get past the flaws in the two most important parts of any book, you might see it as more than literary trash. Reading tip: Pretend you’re 13 again. It won’t make it any better, but you might actually enjoy it… like I did.
Summit is trying to pick up the story Elevator Men, which is a darker look at the kind of vampires who don’t sparkle in sunlight and won’t try to resist chomping on your neck.
“It’s a reaction to all of these stories now — TV shows and movies — that play this kind of romantic, fantastical, sexy aspect of getting involved with monsters. This is the dark, sinister version of what really happens when you decide you’re going to get close to really bad things.”
In Stephenie Meyer’s imagination, Forks High School is a bustling place where students go to classes and proms, oblivious to the fact that handsome-but-deadly bloodsuckers walk amongst them. But could Edward and the other Cullens really be hanging out these days at one of America’s oldest high schools? Or are the students similarly letting their imaginations run wild?
On Wednesday, police were called to Boston Latin School, a nearly 400-year-old public school whose prestigious alumni include Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, John Hancock and Sumner Redstone. The reason? Rumors were running wild that the school had been infiltrated by vampires.
“I seek your cooperation in redirecting your energy toward the learning objectives of the day. Please do not sensationalize or discuss these rumors,” pleaded the school’s headmaster, Lynne Mooney Teta, in a notice sent to faculty, students and parents on Thursday (March 26) addressing “rumors involving ‘vampires.’ ”
According to The Boston Globe, gossip recently began spreading throughout the high school that vampires were at Boston Latin. The headmaster issued the notice after becoming concerned that some students’ safety might be jeopardized, particularly if they were accused of being members of the undead.
“I’m not sure whether [the supposed vampires] were among the student body or whether they were inhabiting the old corners and crevices of the building,” Officer Eddy Chrispin, a Boston Police spokesman, said after police went to the school Wednesday. “We did go over there and speak to some of the students and quelled the rumors that were going and kind of told them the effect those rumors could have on the rest of the student population.”

Read some moments form his DVD commentary below..
Rob’s obsession with Edward’s perfectly-groomed eyebrows begins when he first gets a whiff of Bella in the biology class scene: “We have very similar eyebrows,” he observes.
It continues when Edward dismisses Bella’s version of the car accident at the hospital: “The moral of this scene is never trust a guy who plucks his eyebrows. You know, there’s always something up. Something suspect.”
On aging “six years” during production: “I look haggard. Might as well recast. Where’s Efron?”
Picking up on his own intense yet somehow blank look as Edward walks away from Bella in the greenhouse: “I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie.”
After glimpsing some definition through his T-shirt: “See, that’s when I had pecs!…I had pecs for about two days.”
In response to the suggestion that he could have made Edward’s trick with the apple more elaborate by adding in a few extra moves: “People would be in hysterics if they saw that…It’s like, wow, he’s a superhuman moron…So he wears lipstick, has a little bouffant, and does little circus acts as well?”
As Edward and Bella encounter her pals outside the restaurant: “Sometimes I think I look like I’ve had facial reconstructive surgery, like after burns or something. My whole head is like I’ve had a face lift.”
On noticing his bendy hands while in the forest with Bella: “I’ve got such effeminate hands. I could never be strong…They’re flappers.”
During Edward and Bella’s kissing scene: “This is quite difficult ‘cos I have a really flat head, and so it’s quite difficult to get a correct angle…And you can’t go up from down below as well, ‘cos I’ve got, like, rock solid gelled hair. And so, like, it was odd. I don’t know, sometimes I feel like my head is being, like, turned inside out. Like that episode of Ren & Stimpy when he’s inside his own belly button.”
On the intimidating sight of Edward in his baseball get-up: “Looking scary with a baseball outfit on and a little bouffant, you know, it just does not work. Especially with sculpted eyebrows….I’m really scary in reality.”

Robert Pattinson jokes that he is in danger of being replaced by Hollywood rival Zac Efron for the Twilight sequels after the phenomenal success of the first movie.
The British actor joins co-star Kristen Stewart and director Catherine Hardwick on the audio commentary for the DVD, which was released in the US over the weekend and is available in the UK from April 6.
And, in between obsessing over Edward Cullen’s impressively sculpted eyebrows and “bouffant” hair, Rob suggests that movie bosses can now afford a high profile star for the lead role, rather than “an unemployed actor from London.”
“Where’s Efron?” he quips.
Thankfully, Rob’s casting suggestion has been ignored and he has started filming on the second Twilight installment, New Moon.
