The Wolfpack Goes InStyle

JuliaInStyleTinsel Korey, Chaske Spencer, Julia Jones, and Alex Meraz are all featured in the current InStyle.

““This is you. This is your role.”

The Eclipse casting directors weren’t the first to think Jones, a part-time model and Columbia graduate, was perfect for the part of Leah, the only female wolf. “One of my closest friends read the books before the first movie came out,” she reported, “and she always said, ‘This is going to be you. This is your role.’” Nevertheless, Jones admits to some trepidation about taking on Twilight. “Everybody has an idea of who the character is in their mind, and there’s no way I’m going to be that person for everyone,” she explained. “I just have to hope that the way I bring Leah to life wins people over.”
Tinsel, Alex, Chaske, and Julia all have individual coverage. See the entire write up on InStyle.

Chaske Spencer Creates Hostess Cupcake Art

Chaske Spencer, along with other celebrities, has created art based on the iconic Hostess cupcake.  It’s all going up for auction to benefit children in need in the New York City area.

“A drum set made of cupcakes. A cupcake moon shining its squiggles on the Las Vegas desert. A cupcake enveloped in a valentine made of lentils. All of the above are among the original artworks created by celebrities including Rosie O’Donnell, Padma Lashkmi (Top Chef), Chelsea Handler, Chaske Spencer (Twilight), Jordin Sparks (American Idol) and Kelly Rutherford (Gossip Girl), among others, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic squiggle on Hostess CupCakes and benefit Free Arts NYC, an organization dedicated to providing educational and arts programs to under-served children.

Hostess is hoping these celebrity squiggles inspire cupcake lovers across America to submit their own original artwork featuring the famous squiggle in a way that reflects their own personal heritage, experience and personality. Five winning “portraits” from among public submissions will be chosen to be painted on Hostess delivery trucks across the country. Winners will also receive a $1,000 cash prize.”

This project is one of the UNITED GLOBAL SHIFT project’s that Chaske is championing.

Since the PSA has gone live on February 23rd over 6,000 letters have gone to Capitol Hill from people going to shiftthepowertothepeople.squarespace.com.
