The French Magazine, One, just released an interview they had with the hottness duo of the Twilight saga, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. These two are fantastic and really feed off of each other. Love them!

"Rivals in New Moon, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black are, in reality friends. Together, they reflect on the filming of the saga and on their new life as stars tracked by fans and paparazzi.

Both of you have very devoted fans. But have they become too intrusive?
Taylor Lautner: I believe that Robert and I have very different experiences concerning our relationship with the fans. As far as I’m concerned, I still credit them with Twilight. Without their support, the producers would have without a doubt replaced me for the role of Jacob after the first film.
Robert Pattinson: I remember that before the release of the first film, the fans hated me. On the internet I only read bad critiques of myself and it was really difficult to feel all this hate. Back then director Catherine Hardwicke had forbidden me from reading what people said about me on the web. I told her that it was my mother who sent me the links to the forums where they criticized me. Then she advised me to boycott all the emails that my mother sent me! [laughs] All that to say that the frenzy that I spark today doesn’t make me forget the horrors that I read about myself online.

We’ve heard the stories that certain fans act poorly on the filming of New Moon…
Robert: Usually, the majority of them are happy just to watch us film or just get an autograph. But some of them are crazy and recently it’s Taylor who gets them excited…
Taylor: oh yeah, it’s really embarrassing. A forty year old woman insisted on pulling down her pants so that I could sign her! On top of that, my name was printed on her underwear, so that was really strange! Unfortunately, you can’t expect that from all the Twilight fans…

Taylor, you hated the wig that you had to wear in the first film. And yet, it’s still present in the second!
Taylor: Unfortunately I still had to wear the cursed wig in the first part of the film. Even so I have to admit that it is more realistic and makes my head itch less than the first one did. At the beginning of New Moon, we see Jacob as we’ve always known him, friendly, nice, and a little clumsy. But when Jacob transforms physically and truly becomes a werewolf, I finally wear short hair. I don’t believe that Jacob would have been able to seduce Bella with that horrible wig! [laughs]
Robert: I almost had to wear long hair in Twilight, too. During rehearsals, Catherine Hardwicke had the idea that Edward should have a very romantic look with long hair flying in the wind, you know the kind. So she had me get extensions. I sat still for eight hours while a hairstylist put extensions in place and I hated the final result. Fortunately, Catherine respected my opinion and I didn’t film like that.

What is your favorite scene in New Moon?
Taylor: The one where Jacob declares his love to Bella in an indirect manner by making her understand that they can no longer be friends. He just transformed into a werewolf and he cut his hair in order to mark his change/evolution. Then Jacob announces to Bella that they can’t stay friends any longer because he likes her too much and hates Edward who is his sworn enemy because he is a vampire.
Robert: Me, I loved all the hallucination scenes with Bella that are very stylized. Edward is semi-absent in the book because the action focuses on Bella and Jacob. The screenwriters have added some dream-like scenes where Bella imagines that she is followed by Edward. I had the opportunity to play another role and it was very interesting to show a more dangerous and sinister side.

Robert have you regretted being less present at the filming?
Robert: On the contrary, it allowed me to rest. It was one of the most restful roles that I’ve ever played! [laughs] It’s true that I had the opportunity to play a sort of different role, but it was essential that the audience had the time to appreciate Jacob. They had to feel the effects of the break-up and her hesitation between her desire for Edward and her love/friendship with Jacob. During the first three months, it was a job without stress. All the pressure was on Taylor’s shoulders.
Taylor: That’s true, and it was a great responsibility. That said, I had the impression that the fans would have loved any actor who portrayed Jacob because the character is truly nice. I am simply lucky to be the one that was chosen.

Taylor, your physical transformation is spectacular. Was it difficult?
Taylor: It demanded a lot of work, but I saw it as a challenge, and as I rose to the challenge, I appreciated all these efforts. My main goal was not to deceive the fans and those who had confidence in me. And on top of that, I loved to play the werewolf.
Robert: You impressed all of us on the film set. Your physical transformation really had us glued. In a few weeks, you changed yourself into a mountain of muscles! I hate doing sports, and I never would have gotten there!

Christ Weitz succeeded Catherine Hardwicke. In what ways is he different from her?
Taylor: Catherine was very funny and we laughed a lot with her. Chris is a lot more calm and concentrates more. Catherine was a ball of energy compared to Chris who is very zen. Though in spite of this, his attitude is very detached. He strives to work quickly and well. It’s surprising how effective he is without ever raising his voice.
Robert: Chris has a lot of talent and I found his presence very relaxing. We hit it off.

How has filming gone with the newly hired actors in New Moon?
Taylor: Filming with the new actors who play the werewolves of the Quileute tribe was a real pleasure. In the first film, I felt a little alone compared to the vampires, who formed a close-knit group. So then I had my own tribe, in some way. All the actors were nice and we often went out together after filming so that our bond on the screen had a more natural feel. We really became friends and I believe you can see that in the film.

What scenes were the most difficult to film?
Taylor: All the scenes that I filmed during March in Vancouver while it snowed! [laughs] The weather didn’t spare us. Over the course of the weeks, the sun peeked out, but, when we filmed in spring, the temperatures were freezing and I had to film without a shirt on and pretend like I wasn’t freezing to death.
Robert: Even though they are my favorite scenes, the visions that Bella has are very difficult to put into place. They are greatly reinforced with special effects. I was constantly filmed in front of a green screen and integrated into the action after Kristen filmed the scene. My movements were calibrated to the millimeter and it was very complicated. But on the screen, the result is impressive.

Did you do your own stunts?
Taylor: I did them whenever it was possible, because I love that. In particular the motorcycle scenes. In the first part of the film, I fall a lot in order to show how clumsy Jacob was before his transformation to a werewolf. These scenes aren’t dangerous but very repetitive and it’s possible to sprain something. I must say that my experience in martial arts helped me a lot because the first thing that you learn in that sport is to fall. So I tumbled, stumbled again and again without hurting myself. Then I had the opportunity to show at what point Jacob had become agile after his transformation to a werewolf. Fortunately, I did the majority of my stunts or else you would have seen my stunt double on the screen the majority of the time!

Are there aspects of your character that irritate you?
Robert: It bothers me that people continue to describe Edward as a romantic hero. He is much more complex than that. On top of that, usually, the hero saves the damsel in distress in the classic stories. And yet, on the contrary it’s Bella who saves his life in the majority of the books. Edward needs Bella more than she needs him. At least, Bella can always count on Jacob. Edward doesn’t have anyone else to turn to…
Taylor: Playing someone who ends up being rejected by Bella isn’t an easy role. If I could, I would have re-written the script so that Team Jacob wins this fight! [laughs] But in reality, I can’t complain about being Jacob. In New Moon, I have the opportunity to play two roles in a certain way. Jacob is so different before and after his transformation that it’s like I play another person.

How do you put up with the constant attention from the paparazzi?
Taylor: I don’t believe that someone can ever really get used to it., because it isn’t normal to see people photograph your every little move. You just have to try to not pay attention to them. That said, I’m not as tracked as Rob…
Robert: It isn’t clear to me, I can’t sort it all out. I haven’t found a place in the world yet where I can disappear. Even in the most removed corners, someone always ends up asking me to take a photo with them. That makes me feel like I work non-stop. At least on set the level of security allows me some intimacy. It’s a relief. But I’ve found ways to cope/ways to have fun, like using a fake name at the hotels where I stay. In Paris, for example, I call myself Mr. Handjob, that makes me die laughing! [laughs]"
This one is a short one and so will part 8 but the i'll try to make the rest a little longer :D

Bella's pov

Edward carried me to the car while my head was laying on his chest, he put me on my seat and he was trying to get the seatbelt around me.
“Edward, stop it “ I sort of screamed at him “ I can do that myself you now” still looking at him.
“alright, he said back and walked around the car and is just a few seconds he was sitting next to me in the car.
“What’s wrong” I asked him while he started the car. “ I want to help you but … and I interrupted him “but you’re getting...

It’s my first time I’m writing a story, so I hope you like it, sorry for the mistakes I’m not that good in English :D Please leave comments, if the comments are good, I’ll put the rest of the story up too :D

Bella’s pov

Months has passed now since Renesmee was born and I was turned into a vampire by my beloved husband Edward. It all feels so strange, like it all happened yesterday, maybe it’s because the days are a lot longer now from since I was human. As a human I needed sleep but now I don’t need to sleep anymore. I don’t regret any of it, I can spend more time with Renesmee,...

Bella’s POV
    I didn’t know how long it had been since I passed out. I woke up to see light coming through the cracks where there were boards on the window. But it still wasn’t enough to see into the dark room. But I could see some things.
    I saw something lying on the floor by my feet. I got up only to feel the pain in my back from my brutal beating. I slowly crawled over as far as the chain would let me go and reached out to the thing lying on the floor.
    I picked it up. Or should I say, I picked up pieces of whatever...

My name is Hayley Williams and I'm in a band called Paramore. There are four other people in our band,Josh and Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis, and last but not least Taylor York. We are waiting in Jeremy's living room waiting for a conformation to play in Italy. We were going to play privately for a very royal family, like kings or queens. I think there names were Aro, Caius, Marcus, and all of there 'guard'. I was so anxious for the call, in fact we all were. i was practically jumping in my seat.Suddenly my phone started ringing and i screamed and reached into my pocket to get it.

STARLESS

“Of course, Nessie’s going to college. Do you just expect her to spend the rest of her life here in Forks?” Aunt Rose answered haughtily.

“Which college?” Jacob asked in a controlled voice.

“Dartmouth, of course!” Aunt Rose answered immediately.

“It’s still up to Nessie.” Dad said looking directly at Jacob.

Aunt Rose made a face. “Nessie’s going to college. She knew better than to let a good opportunity pass. Not everyone gets to be accepted in an ivy league.” Then she turned to Jacob once again, “So if I were you, dog, I’ll give up on the illusion that Nessie’s...

It seemed like my bedroom was spinning before me. Could half-vampires even faint? It felt like I was about to. Every surface of my room was covered with the disgusting flowers.

“Nessie, what’s wrong?” My father took in the scene before us. What he saw made him growl. He instantly put his arms around me. I clung to him like a little girl – a frightened little girl.

“Sweetie, tell us…” My mom crossed the bedroom floor to the windows, crushing the roses in the process – the sound of snapping stems made me wince. The windows were now opened wide. I was absolutely sure I shut them...

Pictures of the cast and set are appearing. The anticipation is growing. And the fans are speculating.

Alot of the fans are also wondering how they are going to play out Bella's hallucinations of Edward. There are many ways they can do that.

When she is in Port Angeles, she goes near a bar. This is the first time she hears Edward's voice since his departure. They could possibly do a voice-over. And same with the bike incident. I think a voice-over would be best.
But, for the cliff diving, I think it would be really awesome and more emotional if he appeared in physical form.

I stared at my reflection in the huge gilt mirror - flawless perfection - as it has been, always. I used to revel in my own - gloriousness(?), perfection. I always thought, always believed, this beauty - that I was blessed and cursed with - could give me everything I could possibly wish for. Until Fate proved me wrong, so wrong. I sighed and turned around to face him.

"Is that your new hobby, Edward? Lurk in corners?" I asked haughtily. Edward, arrogant and perfect, stood in a corner.

"I apologize for the intrusion, Rosalie - for lurking as you put it. I wanted to play the piano. Nevermind, I'll...

I know this is short but I didn't have a lot of time. I had stuff to do but you don't want to hear about it. I will write a longer part for Chapter 26. Enjoy! (And just something else, I appreciate and value all of you comments and opinions but please don't say you hate my fictional characters. They don't like it and neither do I. Thank you!)


I threw my arms around his neck and kissed his snowy lips. He wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up and kissed me back. The passion that was behind that kissed only proved to me more that he loved me. I couldn’t believe that I had doubted...

So, I had a really hard time writing this chapter, I know it's not that good, which is due to the fact that I didn't want to write it. I hit backspace way too many times. I guess I didn't want this to happen to Edward and Bella, its like when I was reading New Moon, I didn't want to keep reading, cause it made it more true.
So after an hour and a half, this is what I came up with...



Silence has never hurt me so much. Neither one of them said anything. I could imagine Alice was doing all the talking, explaining, trying to make Edward understand, to see the futures that laid out before all of...

I found this and I wondered what everyone would think. Do you agree or disagree?

1.
Carlisle's History-- It's clear that the Cullens operate with a different set of rules than most vampires. However, without knowing that it took two centuries of "torturous effort" for the clan's patriarch to perfect his self-control, or that now, nearly 300 years later, he's developed an immunity to the scent of human blood, you can't really grasp the struggle that the relatively young Edward faces each time he's near Bella. Or for that matter, the way his actions put the entire Cullen coven at risk.

I dozed off for a while on the plane, and woke up with a jarr as the plane wheels hit the ground. I grabbed my bag and started to walk off the plane. It had been a five hour plane ride and all of the other passengers were stretching before leaving. They were uncomfortable, but I wasn't. Anyhow, I set my bag down and wasted a few minutes to stretch before trying to leave again. I was always forgetting to act human.
I took a shuttle to Brenton which dropped me off right on the campus, giving me the full view.
I looked around in awe. The campus seemed to stretch for miles in every direction!...

Indigo has issued a press release stating their figures indicate that this year Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series did more sales than J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series did last year, which included the final Potter book. Good timing for Twilight, of course, as the movie opens tomorrow. Haven't read the books? Don't fret, "Canada’s Twilight Saga headquarters" surely has plenty of copies left.

For more, read Mark's story (and interview with Meyers) on the occasion of the release of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and "final" book in the Twilight series.

Here is the full Indigo press release:

So, the past week had been filled with Twilight pictures. Everyday we got at least 2 amazing pictures. Well, now that the Twilight Illistrated Movie Companion is out, there are scans of pictures from the movie in the book on the internet.

And someone from LiveJournal really caught my eye... in a bad way. This particular person is saying stuff like "**** Summit" or "**** Twilight Illustrated Movie Companion". What I don't get is... Why do they choose to look at the pictures?! The person who posted these pictures warned that they would be spoilers, and announced not click the link if they didn't want to see them.

Those who want to be surprised by the movie, that's fine. But they shouldn't go around cussin Summit or Stephenie Meyer or any other fansite because they chose to view them.
"So you're tellin' me that this girl kills vampires?" Paul said in astonishment.
"She isn't the only girl capable of doing it!" Leah growled.
"Take it easy Leah, Paul didn't mean any harm." Sam tried to calm his ex down.
"Sexist pig."Leah mutterd. Ignoring her, Edward spoke up.
"I told Bella and Esme what was going on, and Bella wants to know what she can do to help." he said with a certain desperation in his tone.
"Good, bring her over here Jake." Sam commanded his second-in-command. Jacob was almost as supportive as this plan as Edward was.
"Bella, come on." he said in such a sad voice....

Twilight: Fiction or Friction?

We call this story fiction, but is it creating more then that?

Wow.

Since when did a book create so much controversy?
Am I the only sane person who has read Twilight? For example, the web sites dedicated to hating Twilight is absolutely childish, now I am no professional on crap, but I assure you, making hate-websites is the most pathetic attempt I have yet to see. Don't they have anything better to do? Honestly, how much more of a infant can they be? For the most part I find it completely humorous that people who hate Twilight would spend hours dedicating time toward...

"Carlisle!" Edward yelled as soon as he reached the door even though it wasn't necessary. By that time Edward's entire family had appeared out of nowhere of course, and converged in the living room.
"What is it Edward?" Carlisle said in a worried tone.
"We have a problem." Edward simply said.
"What is it?" Emmett asked, unworried.
"Charlie knows everything, about us, about the pack, everything. I'm ashamed that I didn't see it sooner. Bella, I'm so sorry." Edward told his family, and his bride-to-be. Who had this blank, morose look on her face.
"What do you mean?" Esme asked.

What would happen if Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the gang went to Forks? Well I imagine it might go something like this. . .

"Oh come on Giles, you can't be serious." Buffy moaned.
"I kind of like it here." Spike mentioned.
"Shut up Spike." Buffy said.
"Well I'm just sayin' pet, this place is perfect. Almost always no sun, and that means no bursting into flame. Which is a plus if you ask me love."
"Lord, Spike nobody cares." Buffy started. "You can move here for all we care."
"If you two are going to behave like children the whole time we are here, then I'll send you both back to Sunnydale."...
