Happy Birthday Stephenie Meyer!!

Stephenie Meyer is the wonderful women that first brought us into the world of Twilight. Today we want to celebrate her and wish her the Best Birthday Ever!!

What started out as a dream has turned into a best selling book series and now record breaking movies. Stephenie Meyer has awakened a spark in all of us that we forgot was there, inviting us to explore a side of vampires never explored before. Twilight is an original vampire story where vampires sparkle and prefer a “vegetarian” diet. The romance between Bella and Edward is similar to classic relationships such as Romeo and Juliet, but somehow it also reminds us all of our first love. Stephenie Meyer has got us all reading again,  We will forever be thankful to her!

Stephenie, Twilight is exactly our brand of heroin. Have a wonderful Birthday!!

Tinsel Korey Spreads the Love

When Christmas Rolls around we all can’t help but feel a spirit of giving. Well, Tinsel Korey has raised the bar this year! Tinsel Korey plays Sam’s beautiful fiance and “mother” figure to the wolfpack.

Most of you know that the Quileute tribe featured in the Twilight saga is actually a real tribe that lives in La Push, Washington. Tinsel made a visit down to La Push in September and really hit it off with Quileute nation, especially the students. When she went back to Vancouver for filming, she left a piece of her in La Push and thinks of them often, tweeting about them and mentioning them in basically every interview. So we should not be surprised that Tinsel decided to spread her Christmas Joy in their direction.  Since she does have a name that is also a common Christmas decoration, I guess that gives Tinsel an extra dose of Christmas Spirit because before she left La Push, Tinsel signed personalized autographed photos for every student at the reservation, they received these photos as a Christmas present and they were all very touched. Twilight Lexicon reports that Jackie Jacobs shared this story about how it all went down:

“I was moved to tears when she requested the student list from Stephanie at the front desk of the Tribal School and when she proceeded to write each students name on her photo I actually did cry knowing how much that would to mean to the kids”, says Jacobs.

But even as much as she loves the Quileute’s they are not the only ones that received some love from Tinsel this year. Twilight Examiner tells us that she also sponsored an coat drive to benefit the Navajo children and elderly in Rough Rock, Arizona. We are told that this event was very successful and I am sure that they all appreciate it in this cold weather.

Tinsel Korey plays the sweet Emily so well on screen, and now we know why. She is really a great example of what we all should be doing this holiday season. Nice Job Tinsel!!

What do you think of Tinsel’s gifts? Have any holiday stories of your own? We would love to hear them!

Hidden New Moon Easter Egg’s

With Chris Weitz as the new director for New Moon, we all expected some changes. In this case I think we all can say those changes were good, his CGI was amazing and he really helped bring the characters to life. But that’s not all he did, Chris also added some hidden surprises in the movie exclusively for the real die hard twihards!! We have heard rumor about these “Easter Egg’s”, first from Taylor Lautner, and now there is even an iTunes app that reveals the five Easter Eggs. But don’t rush off and go spend your money, Twilighters, TwilightBlogs has the scoop!!

1. Hidden Wolves- New moon is all about the wolves so should we really be that surprised the Chris Weitz hid some through out the movie? Next time you watch, look a little more carefully and you may spot the wolves. There is an upside-down engraving of a wolf in the shot of the bowl in which Carlisle burns his first-aid equipment, one on Jacob’s T-shirt when he meets Bella in the school parking lot in the beginning of the movie, and a wolf trinket on the dream-catcher that Jacob gives to Bella.

2. Volturi Elevator Music- Remember the scene where Jane and her Volturi posse are taking Edward, Bella, and Alice to see Aro and they are riding in the elevator? In the background you can hear music playing. That music is from Strauss’ Die Fledermaus (a.k.a. The Bat).’

3. Chris Weitz Baggage-  In the scene where Bella goes looking for the meadow and finds Laurent, there is a Golden Compass clipped to her backpack, homage to Chris Weitz own baggage.

4. Speed Trick- One of the things we love about the vampires is they are super fast. In the scene after Bella’s birthday party when Edward is driving her home, Edward demonstrates that speed when he opens the car door for Bella. But how did Rob, not being a vampire, actually do that? A little movie magic. They put Rob right next to the camera but out of sight, and used a double dressed like Rob in the driver’s seat. When Edward gets out, it’s the double, and then Rob steps in front of the camera, and it looks as if he got there faster than humanly possible.

5. What Did Jacob Say?!- Number 5 is still up for debate, or at least it is in my mind. By now we all know and have talked about the scene where Jacob whispers sweet Quileute nothings into Bella’s ear but what exactly he says is a mystery. All Chris Weitz will tell us is “Ask a Quileute.” Well, the people at the Forks store Dazzled by Twilight did and the storyteller Morgonroth says that Jacob said “kwopkalawo’li” (pronunced quo-p-kah-lah-WOH-oh-lee) which means I love you in Quileute. You can listen to Morgonroth say it here.

The casting call took place today and will be continuing on until tomorrow.

Forks Reality Show?

We definitely live in the era of reality TV. TV is more reality shows than anything else it seems. With everyone jumping on the Twilight bandwagon, I guess we shouldn’t be so surprised to hear about a Forks Reality show. That’s right, Los Angeles-based television producer Zig Gauthier has issued a casting call for Forks locals. What the show is about specifically has not been announced yet but here is what we do know.

Zig Gauthier is proposing to film a reality show in Forks that will star local residents. My guess is that it will be something along the lines of how there town has changed since Twilight and the Twilight craze. A post to the Forks Forum posted the casting call to their locals, giving them all a chance to be a part of this experience. Before you sell your house and move to Forks, Zig Gauthier is looking for permanent residents of Forks to be in this show.

In a phone interview with Zig Gauthier Forks Forum got us a little more information. Apparently Zig Gauthier has been working with Dazzled by Twilight owner Annette Root, and he stated that she was very helpful with the interviews. He also gave some more details about the casting call and what was going to be expected. Apparently Forks locals will be asked to fill out a one-to-two page questionnaire and will have their photo taken.

It will be interesting to see what come from this, what kind of show they make. We will keep you posted on all the little details, so stay tuned!

Do you live in Forks? What kind of Reality show do you expect? Join in the discussion!

What to Expect From Eclipse

The New Moon dust is just beginning to settle and already we are hearing what is coming up for Eclipse. The stars are on all their promo tours and they just can’t stop talking about all the Eclipse excitement!!

Ashley Greene, who is deeply involved in the charity Donate My Dress, was recently on the cover of Teen Prom, and she took a minute to talk about the excitement of Eclipse. Anyone who has read Eclipse knows that it has more action then any of the other books. Ashley has been training like crazy and has the bruises to prove it. Check it out, and Ashley’s beautiful prom dress!

Bryce Dallas Howard has been out promoting her new movie The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond. Bryce is a new addition to the movie, replacing Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria, and trust me she got the best of the 3 books that Victoria is in. Eclipse is Victoria’s shining moment and Bryce really brought her character to life. In an interview with Saturday Night Magazine, Bryce talks about what it was like being the newbie on the set.

Rachelle did an extraordinary job at creating Victoria and part of the joy of a franchise like this is getting to see not only the characters grow but the actors continuing to grow with the characters…It was really unfortunate for everybody that Rachelle left. I did feel, I don’t know if I should say a pressure, but an enormous responsibility because the fans felt really strongly about the role of Victoria and they felt a deep connection to Rachelle, which they should because she is also beautiful and talented. I really did do my best and I hope that whatever work I did can somehow honor what had been created before and what was created by Stephenie. I felt really grateful to this because Rachelle and I have connected. She’s an amazing woman and has been enormously and overwhelmingly helpful.

Bryce only had great things to say about Eclipse and I think we will not be disappointed. Check out more from Bryce:

There is plenty more to come Twilighters, this is only the beginning!

What scene are you most looking forward too? What do you think of Bryce? Share your opinions with us!!

Jacob’s Secret to Bella

Okay so by now I would hope that you all have seen New Moon, and if you haven’t, then leave and go see it right now, because yes it was that good!! If you haven’t seen it, beware this post has spoilers!!

In the movie, after Alice returns and Jacob is in the kitchen with Bella, he whispers something in her ear. It is obviously in a different language and the most common guess is of course that he was speaking Quileute. But neither Taylor Lautner nor the Quileute’s are saying what it is he said. The rumor is that he whispered “I Love You”, but there is no confirmation.

Taylor says it is an “Easter egg that only the most hard-core ‘Twilight’ fans will be able to crack.”

As for the Quileute’s they feel that they should keep Bella and Jacob’s secret and have even prepared a statement about this very thing. “Please know we would love to translate the phrase for you, but out of respect for Jacob and his feelings for Bella, we are going to keep that private for now,” Jackie Jacobs, tribal publicist, said.

Well, whatever he said it was fabulous and had girls all over the theater sighing with pleasure. The Quileutes were very pleased and said he spoke beautifully and they loved the way he represented them. Good Job Taylor!!

Taylor Launter’s performance in New Moon was amazing and it will be hard to compete with, but Taylor will have another chance at it coming with the release of Eclipse in June. We Can’t wait!!

Do you know what Jacob said? Have theories? Share them with us!!

Breaking Dawn Casting Scams

Hey Twilighters!! I know how excited you all are about casting for Breaking dawn, I get your questions by the Hundreds!! And although I have NO news about Breaking Dawn casting, it was for this very reason that I wanted to alert you guys about a current scam going on.

Hopeful twilighters everywhere are being trapped by a scam advertising casting for Breaking Dawn and it has gone far beyond the simple ads in the sidebar of webpages. Recently I received a question about casting because someone had the scam texted to their phone!! it is getting so bad that Lana Veenker, the local Oregon casting director of Twilight, is posting about it on her blog. Here is what Lana has to say and what tips she has about avoiding these scams:

ALL CURRENTLY ADVERTISED CASTING CALLS FOR BREAKING DAWN ARE FALSE.

Breaking Dawn is not yet in production. When it does go into production, professional casting directors will be hired to cast it.

Any website or company claiming that they can get you an audition for “Breaking Dawn” and then asks for ANY money whatsoever is not a real casting company.

Real casting directors don’t have websites where people are required to pay money to submit themselves for jobs.

They will never see the supposed audition tapes that the “casting scouts” on these websites are promising to forward on to them.

Real casting directors in the US are usually members of CSA

The CDs that Summit hires will work with professional talent agencies to hire the principal roles.

Real talent agencies do not charge their talent any money to be represented. They only make commissions when their actors book jobs.

Real agents represent established, professional actors who were either referred to them by other professionals or whom they have previously seen perform on stage or film.

They do not scout for talent in shopping malls, on Craigslist, in banner ads or in spam emails.

Real agents do not run acting or modeling schools, especially ones that charge thousands of dollars.

In the US, they are usually franchised by SAG

They will not seek to hire extras who live outside the shooting area. They are not interested in dealing with travel complications that could arise from hiring an out-of-town extra. And they certainly won’t hire someone who doesn’t already have working papers.

If you want to be an extra on a film, the harsh reality is that you need to live in the area where it is shooting and there’s no guarantee you’ll even be chosen to work.

These are some really great, very clear tips about avoiding the scams. The most common element I see over and over again in this post, casting agencies will NEVER charge money. If a company asks you to give them your credit card information in order for you to get a part in Breaking Dawn, it is a scam.

Hope that helps!! Got to keep my fellow twi-hards safe!!
