News Round-Up: October 29

Today's MTV Twilight Tuesday sees the return of the Answers to Fans' Burning Questions series: Ashley and Jackson talk action figures (Ashley says Alice will beat up Barbie), Kellan talks about Rob's music and does a lousy Rob impersonation, Taylor picks a team, Cam talks about what it's like working with Rob, Kristen talks about high school, and Rob talks music. Oh, and this is my favorite part:

Reed: He's asking, "Who would you say is the least athletic?" We'll have the same answer.

Lutz: Let's hear yours — go ahead.

Reed: No, let's say, "One, two, three," and then say it.

Reed: One, two, three ...

Lutz and Reed: Rob.

Lutz: Yes! Awesome.

Reed: Rob is the least athletic person.

Lutz: But he runs cute! His running is cute — and I rarely ever say "cute" as a word.

Reed: He runs like a mountain goat.

Lutz: They'll tell me, Emmett, to run in front of him to block him out, so he looks cool.

The rest of the article is here.

The LA Times continues its Twilight Countdown with a feature called "Before They Were Vampires", where we see photos of the cast before they were cast for Twilight. Check it out here.

Entertainment Weekly reveals their list of Entertainers of the Year, and Stephenie and the Twilight cast have made it. Stephenie was picked because "...she has created a phenomenon so huge that few other entertainers can compare. Love it or hate it, the Twilight saga is a culture all its own." The Twilight cast was picked because... well, they are all made of awesome. ;)

MTV Buzzworthy has posted a 30-second clip of the "Decode" music video, which we have posted previously. The main MTV article is here. MTV also has a feature about Robert in "Little Ashes" here.

News Round-Up: October 22

There's a lot of Twilight Saga news today, so let's round them up and let's try to forget yesterday's depressing news for a while....

CrepusculoMeyer.com has posted more new photos from the Twilight film. Seen here is Angela Weber and Eric Yorkie. HGE has collected them here in their gallery.

Media Blvd has an interview with two of the coolest guys in Twilight who don't get as much love as the Cullen boys do: Edi Gathegi and Taylor Lautner. They discussed their respective roles in Twilight and talked about filming and working with Catherine Hardwicke and the other actors. Taylor talks action figures and asks "Who's Edward?" (LOL), and Edi talks about his inner vampire and admits to being a Twi-hard. Read the full interview here.

Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News writes "In Defense of Twilight... and the Oh-So-Dreamy Edward" in response to the reactions of the hardcore male geeks and horror fans to the increasing popularity of the series. Read the article here.

Read the interview here.

Anna Kendrick is featured in this week's Twilight Tuesday at MTV. Although the real Jessica Stanley loved to gossip, Anna says she tries her best to steer clear of them. She also revealed that most of the Twilight cast have become good friends, and mentioned seeing Rob Pattinson play one night. What happens when you go googly-eyed over Rob? find out by reading the Movies Blog post here, the main article here, and viewing the accompanying video interview here.

BAE also has scans of the issue of Empire Magazine where this photo appeared. It's the same issue where Rob Pattinson was infamously quoted as saying: "Edward is a 108-year-old virgin, so he's obviously got issues." :p

Amazon.com also has an image of a new cover for the movie tie-in mass market paperback edition of Twilight.



They've posted a different cover before, one which shows the other members of the Cullen family, so we're not sure which one is really the final cover (unless the first one is for the trade paperback).

A Crazy Week for Twilight!

So much has happened in the Twilight world over the past week, it's hard to keep up! Hype around the movie is definitely building up, and we couldn't be any happier about it!

The folks at MTV in particular have been dutifully giving Twilight fans heaps of news and updates:

"I don't know - they've got brooms!"

This video had Twilight fans buzzing with delight as MTV had its first encounter with most of the movie's main cast.

Twilight Tuesdays @ MTV

"Every Tuesday is "Twilight Tuesday" here at MTV News! Check back here each and every week for the hottest scoop on the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's beloved vampire series, and we'll still bring you breaking "Twilight" news throughout the rest of the week. And make sure you check out the MTV Movies Blog for our ongoing "Twilight" discussions each and every day."

"No one bothers Stewart between takes as she comes back from whatever place she has to go to find her sorrow. On almost every occasion, it is Pattinson who will eventually walk over, give her shoulder a light rub, and bring her back for the next take. If chemistry is a concern to the "Twilight" fans, they can sleep well from here on out."

A Special Message To The Newly Named ‘Twilight’ Fans, Straight From The Stars

"You might also notice that throughout the piece, we’re calling the “Twilight” fanbase one name. And that’s because our recent “Twi-Hards, Twilighters or Something Else?” poll has officially come to a close!"
