Time: Twilight Still Influencing Baby Names
According to Time Magazine”
“Isabella and Jacob, names of the female protagonist and her handsome werewolf from Twilight, reign supreme on the list for the second straight year. (Sorry, Team Edward.) True, Twilight‘s Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner — i.e. the first actor you think of when wondering whose abs you could do your laundry on — isn’t entirely responsible for the popularity of the name. We know this because that appellation has been in the Top 10 for the past 12 years, but this is only Isabella’s second year to make the cut in recent history, arguably courtesy of author Stephenie Meyer.”
Time also goes on to cite the name “Kellan” rising up on the list, though it didn’t crack the top ten.
See the whole list and their analysis here. Do you really think Twilight and shows like Teenage Mom are affecting name choices?

Collider: Michael Sheen Talks Breaking Dawn and Bill Condon
Collider has one of the better Michael Sheen interviews that we’ve seen where they’ve really got him talking about Breaking Dawn.
“What can you say about what you’ll be doing in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn?
MICHAEL SHEEN: It’s the same part that I played before – Aro.
Was there anything you got to discover in playing him this time around, that you hadn’t learned the last time you played him?
SHEEN: He’s more of a presence in these films than he was in New Moon, so I got to explore the character a bit more and probably fleshed it out a bit more. I don’t think that there’s anything that I learned. I just was able to go into the insanity of the character a bit more. I got to show what’s under the surface a bit more this time, which was fun.”
See more especially what he has to say about Bill Condon on Collider.
Michael Sheen: Breaking Dawn II Confrontation Scene With Volturi Won’t Be Anticlimactic
This is pretty big coming from Michael Sheen. Just from his experience in the Underworld and Tron movies, he has a keen understanding of what makes a good movie climax in a fantasy film. So what do you think of this news?
Saoirse Ronan Chats With Glamour UK and Mentions The Host
We have to give kudos to TwiMoms for figuring this one out and jumping on it. Saoirse Ronan did a Twitter chat with Glamour UK starting at around 9:00am eastern time when many US fans were not up or not near computers. Here are questions that TM’s asked and us asked trying to get some Host type info out of Saoirse. We will update this post with more info as the chat progresses.
Question from @TwilightMOMS What do you think of playing Melanie & Wanderer from The Host?
Answer Saoirse: I’d love to be involved. Let’s hope.
Question @TwilightLexicon: What do you like about roles that are more physical like Hanna and Ember?
Answer: It makes me feel better about not exercising between roles.
Question Unknown Account: What did the cast do to get into the mindset of living rough (on Hanna)?
Answer: We trained in the wilderness in -30. That was rough enough.
Question Unknown Account (important because this would have been a HUGE conflict and was still listed on the IMDB): Are you doing The Hobbit?
Answer: I’ve been asked about doing The Hobbit- unfortunately I won’t be able to do it. It breaks my heart. I love Bilbo & NZ.
You can follow Saoirse Ronan on Twitter here http://twitter.com/#!/saoirse_ronan she confirmed that this was actually her account during the last moments of the chat.
Twilight Makes Best Movie Love Triangles List
The Female First site in the UK picked Twilight to top their list:
“Twilight: Not easy to choose between a bare chested wolfman and a glittering vampire – especially when they fight so well over you in a two man tent; while you are sleeping.
The Twilight Saga has taken the world by story as Stephenie Meyers’ novels have been adapted for the big screen – are you Team Edward? or Team Jacob?”

Male TwiHard Highlights MTV Movie Awards Omissions
The Male TwiHard blogger on Next Movie is talking about some of the omissions for Twilight actors in the MTV Movie awards. The two that really stuck out to us were Best Villain and Best Line in a Movie. Here’s what the Male TwiHard had to say.
“The most glaring omission is here is that neither Bryce Dallas Howard nor Xavier Samuel were nominated for Best Villian, a category where “Gossip Girl” Leighton Meester made the cut for remaking “Single White Female.” It’s not easy taking over a character from another actress — fans are always going to compare you to the previous version — but Howard owned Victoria like I own the acne on my back. I don’t even remember Rachelle Lefevre’s name (I looked it up, okay?). And Samuel, he is nominated for Breakout Star, but why not here too? Tom Felton’s Draco is the Easter Bunny next to Samuel’s Riley.
Then there’s Best Line From a Movie. Perhaps because the first two “Twilight” films gave us so many great lines, the members of the MTV Movies Awards Academy have just come to expect it. What about Edward’s line: “Bella, would you please stop trying to take your clothes off?” Not only is that hilarious, it more or less sums up the entire “Twilight Saga” in one sentence. Yet here is where the MTV Academy chose to honor “Grown Ups” for the line “I want to get chocolate wasted.” Clearly, they were chocolate wasted.”
