Site Update

August 12, 2009

We have a nice site update for you all this evening. First, the Lexicon timeline has been finished through Breaking Dawn. As usual, there were some dates that had to be played around with to get everything to fit in nicely. But as far as we know, what we have is correct. Thanks to everyone who does keep us on our toes about the dates though.

We also have three chapters from Breaking Dawn to add to the discussions. First up, from nissanmamma, is Chapter 25: Favor. Visit the message boards to discuss Jacob’s explanation about Bella to Charlie.

LadyDi has provided the discussion for Chapter 26: Shiny. Be sure to add your thoughts at the message boards to the discussion on Bella’s new strength and abilities.

And lastly, thanks go to CullenGirl for her help with Chapter 27: Travel Plans. Hop over to the message boards to chime in on Bella’s worries about the Volturi.

Jack Huston To Play Royce King in Eclipse

August 12, 2009

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jack Huston will be portraying Royce King II. To jog your memories, Royce is Rosalie’s fiance back when she was human.

Congrats, Jack, on playing what is probably the only character that every Twilight fan hates! Don’t take it personally, it just comes with the territory on who he is. 🙂

Peter Facinelli Plays with Legos For Charity

August 12, 2009

According to the NBC San Diego Afiliate:

“Some of the hottest celebrities including Al Pacino, Brooke Shields, Heidi Klum, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Hoppus, Peter Facinelli, Steve Carell, Thomas Gibson, Tom DeLonge and Tony Hawk have built their own ocean-themed Lego mosaics. The mosaics will be auctioned off on Celebritybuzz.com, and all the proceeds will go to the Surfrider Foundation.

“We have no idea how much these mosaics are going to go for, I think the sky’s the limit,” said Beth Downing with Sea Life Aquarium. “This is the first time we’ve ever done anything like this so it could be a little or it could be a lot, but of course we’re hoping to raise as much money as we can for Surfrider.”

Jackie Earle Haley on Kellan Lutz

August 12, 2009

IESB has an interview with Jackie Earle Haley who stars in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Kellan Lutz co-stars and is mentioned in the interview.

“Q: Kellan Lutz from Twilight plays one of the characters in the movie. After playing Freddy Krueger, did you trade any advice with Kellan about how to play a better vampire?

Haley: No, we never talked about that, but I’m sure thrilled that he’s in the movie. I actually just met him here at Comic Con. I never saw him, when we were out there. He’s a really nice guy. He signed a couple of Twilight books for my nieces, so I was a hero there.”

You can find the entire interview with Jackie Earle Haley on IESB.

Christina Radish, who conducted the interview, is multi-talented and shot some great photos for Jet Set Jen at the Teen Choice Awards.

Twilight Twittering

August 11, 2009

Actress Rose Mc Gowan, probably best known for her stint on Charmed, just rented Twilight and Tweeted:

“Just rented Twilight. I know, I’m a little late.Don’t know if I can keep watching. A little deer just got killed. ;(“

and

“Edward cullen is very moody.”

___________________________________________________________

So this brings us to our semi-monthly or so Twitter round up. Here’s the run down of who has a real Twitter and who doesn’t.

Here are a listing of the real Twitters
relating to the Twilight Saga

Updated as of 8/12/09

Cullen Family Members

Peter Facinelli (also on Twitter is Peter’s fabulous wife Jennie Garth)

The Volturi

Forks Humans

Quileute Tribe Members

Other vampires

Directors

The Twitters supposedly run by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed are all fakes. Ways to tell: mislabeling of photos stating where & when the pics were taken, Tweeting while clearly performing , all created around the same date, claiming they are posting personal photos when in reality are actually recycled paparazzi shots, official sites of actors don’t list a Twitter, etc.

First Book: What Book Got You Hooked?

August 11, 2009

We first brought this incredible organization to everyone’s attention last year. They are a group that encourages reading and literacy.

They have several ongoing projects, but one happening right now is called What Book Got You Hooked?

According to the site:

“What Book Got You Hooked?” invites readers everywhere to celebrate unforgettable books from childhood and help provide new books to the children who need them most. First Book asks visitors to share the memory of the books that made them readers and then vote for the state to receive 50,000 new books from First Book, helping to get more kids hooked on reading.

Past winners include Oklahoma in 2007 and Kentucky in 2008, with each state receiving 50,000 new books for children in need.

Join us this year in sharing the joy of great books with kids who need them most.”

We’ve heard from so many people over the years that Twilight was the book that actually got them hooked on reading. No matter what that book is from Goodnight Moon to Harry Potter, something out there captured your imagination and made you want to read more. Please share your experiences over at What Book Got You Hooked and vote for teh state that you’d like to see get 50,000 books for needy children.

Alphie and Pel decided that the books that hooked them were the Anne of Greene Gables series for Alphie and the Little House on the Praire series for Pel. And if by any chance Pel’s 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Jezniack is out there reading this, you gave all the girls in your 2nd grade class Little House in the Big Woods as a Christmas present in 1973. Pel still has her copy and wants to say thanks for turning me on to reading!
