All-American Boy Beats Brit Heartthrob

People magazine has named Chace Crawford the hottest bachelor. Yes, even hotter than Robert Pattinson.
I support their decision wholeheartedly. As I have mentioned before, Chace was my mental image of Edward Cullen, and I would have loved to see him star in Twilight. I think Edward’s creepy stalker tendencies would have been less distressing to [...]

Finally, an Adult Is Cast as a Volturi

Michael Sheen has joined the cast of New Moon as Aro, the leader of the Volturi, the mysterious Italian leaders of the vampires. I have been supremely unhappy with the choices of child actors for most of these leaders because as good as they may be, they simply do not have the gravitas I believe [...]

Do You Still Like Vampires?

A literary agent posted a poll on his blog asking whether the vampire genre is over. Responses were 40% for over and 60% for still kicking. As a writer who is working on a vampire novel, I am happy to see that my love of vampires is shared by other writers.
But how do I feel [...]

Please Stop Talking about Robert Pattinson's Odor

I think Robert Pattinson is a fine actor, even though I’ve made no secret of my desire for a different actor to play Edward. I don’t care how often he bathes. I think I will scream if I hear or read one more thing about how stinky he is.

Twilight DVD

Well, I was one of 3 million people who went out and bought the DVD of Twilight on Saturday. That puts it in the top 5 for first-day DVD sales of the last two years (this is so specific that its as if I’m giving a sports statistic), with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s [...]

Dakota Fanning Will Play Jane in New Moon

Sources have finally confirmed that Dakota Fanning will play Jane in the adaptation of New Moon. It’s funny, I like their choices in women much more than their choices in men for these little Twilight films. Okay, really it’s just Edward. I think Edward is a controlling jerk who forces Bella to marry him and [...]

Twilight Sequel Will Need New Director

Catherine Hardwicke has left the Twilight sequel, saying she just can’t commit to the release time line. Summit Entertainment has not announced her replacement. What does this staffing change mean for the franchise?
My guess is that the next film will have a higher budget, allowing more, shall we say, believable special effects. The change is [...]

Kristen Stewart to Play Joan Jett in Movie about The Runaways

I have now been reduced to squeeing fangirl.
When I was in high school, poppy heavy metal was huge. I was a huge fan of Motley Crue, Poison, Joan Jett, and Lita Ford. One day, while reading a profile of Lita (I believe it was in Metal Edge, but it may have been in Circus, I [...]
