News Round-Up: October 30
If you can hear buzzing, that's probably because Twilight is pretty much everywhere, and once again, we wouldn't be surprised if Twilight breaks the Internet. There's so much news, I am typing this fearing for my Google Chrome. I have so many tabs opened, I hope poor Chrome can still take it and doesn't crash on me. *takes a deep breath* Here we go.
MTV has a feature on Vampires, where they survey how Buffy, True Blood, The Dark Path Chronicles, 30 Days of Night, and Twilight stack up against each other. Not that there should be comparisons, really. There's room to enjoy all of those, and each has something special to offer. (Personally, I'm really hooked on True Blood right now. :D )
The Twilight Lexicon has a great interview with master dollmaker, Robert Tonner. Mr. Tonner described the process of making the incredible dolls that Tonner Dolls sells. He also revealed that the Bella and Edward dolls will be coming out during the first quarter of 2009, and is expected to sell for $150. Click here to read the full interview.
It's 22 days to go before Twilight is released in the US *sniff, sniffle* and the LA Times has posted today's installment of their Twilight Countdown. This time, they have a feature on Edi Gathegi, and wouldn't you know it, he's a hardcore Twilighter!
Everglow has several new stills from the film in their galleries.
BAE has posted scans of OK! Magazine (Philippines) provided by our own defune_hime. :) Once again, this issue of OK! Magazine is available in newsstands and magazine shops now for PhP140.
Empire Magazine has included Rob Pattinson in their list of 28 British Stars Taking Hollywood By Storm. They are also featuring Twilight in their new issue (the one with the Star Trek cover).
The same picture from Empire Magazine also appears in the New York Post's Popwrap section here.
Entertainment Weekly has posted a full review of the Twilight soundtrack (Grade: A-) here, along with a new movie still.
Inkworks is giving out a free promo card from the Twilight Movie Trading Cards series. If you want to avail of the offer, make sure to click here for instructions for International requests.
New TV spots have appeared on US TV: TV Spot #5, TV Spot #6. Thanks to BAE for the links.
TCP's friend in Plurk, katatonia, sent us a link to this Google Trends page showing how Robert Pattinson's popularity on the Internet has skyrocketed starting from the time he was cast in Twilight. And, we're not sure why, but in the Regions section, we're seeing the Philippines on the number one spot. Does that mean Filipinos just keep googling Robert? I really wouldn't be surprised. Apart from his stint in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, not too many Filipino Twilight fans really knew a lot about Robert and his work before the casting announcement, that's why there's so much interest in him. Well, everyone knows who he is now! :)

I've read them all. “Breaking Dawn”? I finished that in two days. I have to tell you, every time I finished one of them, a little piece of me died. I’d become invested in that world. I really felt sad. After the fourth one, I was like, ‘What am I going to do with my life.’
