Ashley Green: Face of the Future

HollywoodNews.com is running a story on the progress and journey Ashley Greene has been on in the last few years.

Ashley didn’t always have the acting bug. She wasn’t a five year old dancing around in makeup saying she wanted to be a “movie star.” The bug hit her when she was around 15. She convinced her parents to let her graduate early from her Jacksonville, FL high school and move to California. From there, she auditioned for parts as small as non-speaking roles before getting a call to audition for “Twilight.”

Official Twilight Convention Arlington, VA: Day 3

Want a free Eclipse poster?

Speaking of the LA Book Festival (See the post below), Gather.com is reporting that you can get a free poster for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse at booth 858, the booth being manned by Summit Entertainment.

“Now you may be wondering, will there be any left posters left if I go to the Summit Entertainment booth  later today or tomorrow? Good question. I asked the staff this very thing and was told they have boxes of posters to give away so they shouldn’t run out not even tomorrow.”

So if you live in the LA area, pop over to UCLA and booth 858 for your free poster.  Who knows, you might see Michael Sheen there, too!  The festival ends Sunday, April 25.

Fan Encounter with Michael Sheen

Just because he tops the list of Twilight stars I would love to meet, I couldn’t resist sharing this encounter a fan had with Aro – er, I mean Michael Sheen.

“I was with my family at the Festival of Books at UCLA and looked up to see Sheen right next to my husband. I said, “Hi Mr. Sheen” and he turned around and said “hello”. I asked if I could take a picture with him and if not because it might start a crowd it was okay and he said “of course”. He was so gracious and sweet. We took a picture, which I was not photo ready for, and after quick talk and we were off. What a nice addition to our afternoon!”

Congrats to you, Monica, and thanks for sharing your story.  I’m jealous!   Be sure to follow Michael Sheen on Twitter.

Kellan Lutz in People Magazine

Kellan eyesPeople Magazine has a few tid bits from Kella Lutz in their current issue – six tid bits to be exact.  The page is titled “6 Revelations from Kellan Lutz.”  He talks about his role model, who he would most like to meet, and what makes him feel famous.  By my personal favorite revelation is that Kellan prefers to be hugged when greeting someone.  Having been the recipient of a hug from Kellan, I have to say that he is a wonderful hugger.  (Is that a word?)

Thanks to KellanLutzOnline for the story.  Visit their site to read more.

Reelz Channel Trailer Analysis

Reelz Channel is chiming in with their thoughts on the final trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclispe.  They take it scene by scene and very nearly frame by frame.  The commentary is rather quirky and somewhat snarky with lots of little bits that made me laugh such as: “From the worldwide bestseller” appears on screen, y’know, just in case you didn’t know the movie was based on a book.
