"Perri's currently on tour with Jason Mraz, and in promoting her shows she spoke with 96.5 TIC FM about her involvement with the Saga and teased, “I might have seen the last film too, and it’s pretty amazing … I might be involved in that. I’m not really allowed to say though… just a hint."Source: Examiner.com
EXAMINING TWILIGHT THROUGH A BIBLICAL LENSBuy it here!
People around the world are asking the same question, enraptured with Edward and Bella’s forbidden romance in the Twilight Saga, a four-book serial phenomenon written by Stephenie Meyer. The bestsellers tell the story of a regular girl’s relationship with a vampire who has chosen to follow his “good” side. But the Saga isn’t just another fantasy–it’s teaching girls about love, sex, and purpose. With 48 million copies in print and a succession of upcoming blockbuster films, now is the time to ask the important question: Can vampires teach us about God’s plan for love?
Touched by a Vampire is the first book to investigate the themes of the Twilight Saga from a Biblical perspective. Some Christian readers have praised moral principles illustrated in the story, such as premarital sexual abstinence, which align with Meyer’s Mormon beliefs. But ultimately, Beth Felker Jones examines whether the story’s redemptive qualities outshine its darkness.
Cautionary, thoughtful, and challenging, Touched by a Vampire is written for Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and pop culture enthusiasts. It includes an overview of the series for those unfamiliar with the storyline and a discussion guide for small groups.
Last night, the “Cosmopolis” star appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and revealed that he recently purchased a car for $2,500 off Craigslist. And it gets better: the Chevy Silverado pickup truck is over a decade old. “I got a 2001 Silverado. It’s beautiful. Solid car,” Pattinson gushed, noting, “I buy everything off Craigslist. Every single car that I’ve bought.”How in the world did this guy not recognize Rob? Is that even possible? I can't imagine going thru life not knowing his beautiful little face lol. If I was Rob I would have said something like "Soooo how about those Twilight movies, ehhh? Bet that Bella chick is a cheating lying whore...."
This particular purchase was made three months ago and brought Pattinson out to Chino Hills, California, a rather random spot in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The seller, who didn’t recognize the world-famous star, “was this guy who lived with his parents,” Pattinson recounted. “We were talking about gas prices, going, ‘I know man. It’s crazy.’” The wealthy movie star, who described himself as “incredibly cheap,” went on to detail the negotiation process with the seller. “He didn’t really understand the concept of negotiating,” he laughed. “I [talked him down] 300 bucks and his comeback was, ‘What about 50 bucks more?’”

"You've probably already heard about the cast dance number surprise which took place during filming (so the story goes, some of the castmembers got together and choreographed a little surprise dance number which they then surprised director Bill Condon with on the set after filming began to roll), but in this week's issue of EW, Condon himself revealed another one."I'm equal parts excited to see this and embarrassed for the participating cast members. Pretty sure none of them can dance so it could be potentially catastrophic to their future careers.....ok maybean exaggeration but still. It could be a big ol EPIC fail.
"As explained by Bill Condon to EW, the filmmakers tinkered with a robotic version of Renesmee - used to portray one of the many rapid growth stages the character undergoes during the film - and it was a disaster ... a creepy disaster at that.OH. MY. GAWD. How terrible would that have been?! K and I were going to protest BD 2 if any sort of robotic baby monster creature was going to be in the movies. We were really praying for no CGI baby. There was a little in BD 1 and luckily is wasn't too bad....I say too bad because I didn't really like it all that much, but it could have been a lot worse.
"Truly, it was one of the most grotesque things I've ever seen. It was a horror show! there was one shot where I call 'Cut!' and suddenly she turns her head and mechanically stares right into the camera. It was incredibly disturbing," Condon explained, promising the publication that he'd work to get it into the DVD extras for Part 2."
Based on Guy de Maupassant's classic novel, this tale of temptation and obsession chronicles Georges Duroy's (Robert Pattinson) rise to power from his meager beginnings as a penniless ex soldier by using the city's most influential and wealthy women. Set in turn of the century Paris, Duroy seduces Mme de Marelle (Christina Ricci) then marries a former comrade's wife, Madeleine Forrestier (Uma Thurman). Fueled by his insatiable quest of lustful greed, Duroy conquers Madame Walter (Kristen Scott Thomas), only to learn that every conquest is marred by betrayal and true love eludes him.
