Box Office with Taylor Lautner
Box Office recently caught up with Taylor to get the inside scoop
"Everybody has been talking about the muscle that you've put on. The furor around actors and their weight changes is something you usually see happen with older actors who are more established. You're 17 - what is that like to have people paying so much attention to your biceps?
It's different. It was all for the job, and that's all. I knew that Jacob was going to transform not only mentally, but physically as well, from Twilight to New Moon, and I wanted to be able to portray him correctly for all the fans. That was my motivation. It was a lot of hard work, though.
People could say that you're half-alien, half-prince.
And everyone would be believing it. That would not be good. It's different. This whole franchise is unlike anything else. Which is a good thing, it's awesome.
Do you avoid Googling yourself?
Absolutely. That would not be good if I did that. Definitely try to stay away from that or it could get in your head."

Ashley Green & Saturday Night Magazine
Ashley Green is once again in the spot light starring on the front cover of Saturday Night Magazine! In addition to lots of great new pictures of Ashley, they have an interview with here (sneak peak below!)"What was the process of being cast for the role of Alice? Were you familiar with the book series beforehand?
It was a really long, tedious process. I hadn't read the books, but I read them because they wouldn't release the script or breakdown. My manager told me to go into the audition and to do a good job and not to mess up because the casting directors were sticklers. So, I was like, "How am I supposed to do a good job? I don't even know what I'm supposed to be playing! I originally auditioned for Bella, and so I read the first book and kind of fell in love with it. I went in and auditioned and actually they called me back in and said, "No, you're not right for Bella, so I was bummed, and then they brought me back for Alice. I worked more on it -that was all I did for a couple of days before I went in. I came in probably like five times before I actually got the role - and then I went home for Christmas and literally just had to wait and wait. I thought that I didn't get it again, and then I got the call that I was Alice and I freaked out and called my dad and mom."

Tweets for Good Cause
How can you combine Twitter, Twilight, and helping people? Easy, do what Peter Facinelli did!
In June, Facinelli began a bet with his friend, Rob DeFranco: If Facinelli could attract 500,000 followers on Twitter, he would get a $10,000 donation and a chance to see DeFranco run down Hollywood Boulevard in a bikini. Another friend from Affliction Clothing became interested in the bet and joined forces with Facinelli. An Affliction employee has a son who suffers from a spinal cord injury, so after Facinelli won the bet he and Affliction donated the $10,000 to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, an organization dedicated to curing spinal cord injury and helping those living with paralysis.
"Question: Can you tell me a little about Raise Hope For Congo?
Facinelli: Well, what I know is that Omnipeace is a global brand whose mission is to end extreme poverty by 2025. Every year, Omnipeace picks a charity and donates 25 percent of their profits for that year to that charity. This year they're partnering with UNICEF Campaign to stamp out violence against women and girls of the Congo."

Edi Gathegi on RadioOnline: Scares Stephanie Meyer!
RadioOnline has a sweet new interview with Laurent actor Edi Gathegi!!! Check it out:
"Radar: How scary is your scene?
Gathegi: Let's just put it this way. I told Stephenie Meyer that my goal would be to scare every 14 year-old girl, and she looked at me and said "Edi, you're so sweet and you have such a little baby face, no one is going to be scared of you at all." Then she saw the movie and the dailies said, "OK Edi, you scared me!" And I said "That means a lot coming from you," especially since she told me I wasn't even going to be able to BE scary!"

Contest Winner Announced! Congrats Melissa!
Congratulations to Melissa for winning the Gold Tickets to Eyecon!!!
Melissa's Entry:
"There are so many reasons why Twilight is awesome- it's addicting, intriguing, thrilling, and romantic. When I read the books, I not only got sucked into the series just to find out what happened next, but my entire body came alive and reacted; my heart was racing as Bella tried to escape from Alice and Jasper at the airport in Phoenix, my breath was caught as Jasper eyed down Bella at her birthday party, and I could not stop crying when Edward left Bella in New Moon. These books are more than 'just' books; they have become a passionate collection of characters that many people can connect to, relate to, and admire.
Then, as fans of the series, we became lucky enough that the books were made into a movie series. Being able to see depictions of these beloved creatures (human, wolf, and vampire) brings the world of Twilight into a completely new level of fandom and awesomeness. Not only did the books bring out visions in our heads, but now, as fans, we were given the opportunity to sit and watch actors and actresses delve into the book and really give it a breath of life, laying it on a large screen before us. Seeing the Cullens walk across the cafeteria made the hairs on my arms stand up because it was real, right in front of my face.
Conventions have become a way for fans to meet the celebrities who portray these characters which have affected us so deeply. It's a way to meet other fans and connect with them, building friendships and sometimes even family. It's nice to sit in a room full of people who feel the same emotional and physical responses that I do-it's an indescribable feeling. I'd love to go to Eyecon because I'd love to meet other fans, and I enjoy the excitement of being in the same room as the people who have brought Carlisle Cullen, Laurent, Ashley Greene, etc. to life. It's so invigorating to have the opportunity to be able to talk to and hang around the actors and hear from them what it was like to be on set, and thank them for bringing the series to the big screen."
Can't wait to see you at EyeCon & congratulations!

Eclipse: "More Guy Friendly"
In a recent interview with MTV, Alice Cullen actress Ashley Greene, shared many things - including the fact that Eclipse will be more guy friendly!!!
Like the novel, which builds up to a climactic battle of vampires and werewolves, Greene said "Eclipse" has a lot more action than the first film and might appeal to more than just screaming teen girls. "The first one was very focused on this love story and really sweet and it was beautiful, but it didn't have a lot of stuff that guys would go, 'Yeah, I want to go see that,' " she said. "There's going to be a lot more focus on [action], and the fight scene will have more emphasis on it. I definitely think it will be a little more guy-friendly."

The Twilight Effect: Jodelle Ferland
Leah actress Jodelle Ferdland talks about the hype of the Twilight saga, how it was affected her life, beauty products, and tons more in a great new interview with Examiner! Although she hasn't started filming Eclipse yet, I'm sure she'll do a great job!
I understand that right after the news broke that you had joined the Twilight family, fans went crazy and you got some intense reactions from your friends. Has the hype died down at all for you?
Yeah. I mean at first everybody was going crazy and everyone was congratulating me. They're still all really excited and it hasn't no, they haven't calmed down that much. *laughs* I have a Twitter account, and that hasn't calmed down at all, I'm still getting the same amount of followers. Everyday. On the first couple of days I was getting A LOT, and now its not quite as many everyday. But it's been about the same pace. My friends have calmed down a little bit, but they are still really really really excited.
