TwilightMOMS interviews MTV’s Larry Carroll
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by AmyO.
Back when the Twilight movie was first being made news was scarce. We had to search high and low for news about our beloved books being made into movies. The media circus that surrounds New Moon simply did not exist with Twilight.
We were lucky that MTV caught wind of a little indie vampire movie being made in Portland and assigned Larry Carroll to cover the movie. Larry’s coverage of Twilight turned into our weekly Twilight fix- Twilight Tuesdays. We would not have survived without his stories. We quickly dubbed Larry “Mr. Made of Awesome” and it was a name he lived up to every Tuesday.
Larry was covering the Peter Facinelli and Rob DeFranco Twitter Bet Event on Tuesday and after the bikini dance was over he sat down and chatted with a couple of our TwilightMOMS, Mary and Kim. They talked about the growth of TwilightMOMS, Larry’s recent trip to Forks and much more. Check out this great interview-
Let’s show Larry a little TwilightMOMS love!! ♥♥♥♥ He mentions that he would like some more TM friends in his life- here are the links to his Facebook and Twitter. Make sure you send him a friend request and start following him.

A Conversation with Gil Birmingham
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by Golden_Topaz_Eyes_42.
Twilighter’s Hub recently interview Gil Birmingham about his life and career.
TH: Tell us about your personal experience of being cast in the Twilight Saga. Did you ever expect to be cast and did you ever think it would be this big?
Gil: Twilight was one of the most fun and rewarding acting experiences I’ve had so far. I knew when I signed on that it would be a significant film with a huge following. I have been swept away by all the attention and all the fans.
TH: Being an actor, what parts of yourself have you incorporate into Billy Black’s character, and what part of Billy, have you taken with you into your everyday life?
Gil: Billy Black is an awesome character to play. We are both down with the kids and we both try to keep it real. An actor always digs deep inside himself to draw out the personal experiences that bring life to the character he plays. I am not Billy, but there is a part of him in me and vice versa.

The British Invasion
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by Golden_Topaz_Eyes_42.
Thelondonpaper.com has posed the question: Could Jamie Campbell-Bower be the next Rob Pattinson? There is some talk and predicitons that the fair haired London boy could be the next big thing. The article discusses all of Jamie’s wonderful merits. What do you think? Can a Volturi outshine a Cullen in the end? Only time will tell. I for one am wishing both of these talented actors the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Mike Welch is a Busy Boy!
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by Golden_Topaz_Eyes_42.
Here is yet another interview Mike did recently - this one is with Celebuzz. He dishes about New Moon and Robert Pattinson. Here’s a sneak peek:
When we asked what part of New Moon will surprise fans the most, he said that the biggest shocker, hands-down, will be the scenes with the Volturi in Italy. “Chris Weitz is one of the best directors out there…visually just really knows what to do with the camera, so I think Italy is going to look amazing,” Welch offered.

The Oddest Mike Welch Interview Ever ~ Rob vs. Chuck Norris
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by Golden_Topaz_Eyes_42.
Ok, so this interview certainly threw me for a loop! Mike Welch has been asked to evaluate his current Twilight Saga co-star, Robert Pattinson against his former co-star Chuck Norris. Mike did an episode of Walker Texas Ranger back in the day. So what did he have to say?
Who’d win in a fight? “I have to go with Edward Cullen, although you know Walker was pretty invincible, but I don’t think that Walker’s fractured slow-mo could save him against Edward. In fact, in real life Rob’s no slouch in the ring. He could take somebody, but Chuck, I don’t quite think so.”
Who has a better beard? “You gotta go Chuck Norris with the beard. Nothing beats that thing.”
Read the whole article and cast your vote in the Edward Cullen vs. Chuck Norris battle!

NY Times- From Film to Fashion: A Trend with Teeth
Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by AmyO.
The New York Times has an article discussing the recent popularity of vampires. Of course, Twilight is mentioned more than once.
Given all that baggage, what keeps vampires so alluring?
One might point to their combination of deathless good looks and decadent sexuality. Their faces, as described in “Twilight,” “were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you never expected to see except perhaps on the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine.”
Read the entire article here.

Jackson & Edi at WordTheatre Benefit
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by JulieAndJasper.
Last week Jackson Rathbone and Edi Gathegi participated in a benefit event for WordTheatre in NYC. Each of them read from one of the short stories, poetry or essays included in the Pushcart Prize.
Check out this great picture of Jackson flashing a mischievous smile at the event. Jackson Rathbone and Ben Graupner of 100Monkeys performed at the event also. The duo played songs they wrote together, so it was a rare treat for 100Monkeys fans as well! (Jackson, literature and music at the same time, *sigh* I think I’m in heaven.)
The WordTheatre organization is dedicated to keeping the love of language and literature alive through the tradition of oral storytelling. The Pushcart Prize is an annually published collection of short stories, poetry and essays from small presses around the country and is “among the most influential projects in the history of American publishing” (Publisher’s Weekly).
You can find more information about WordTheatre HERE and the Pushcart Prize HERE. Sarah Clarke has also participated in events for the group in the past.

Will the Real Charlie Swan Please Stand Up
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by JulieAndJasper.
The Twilight Lexicon has posted a video from Summer School in Forks Symposium - a talk given by the real “Charlie Swan,” Forks Police Chief Mike Powell. I gotta admit, I laughed out loud at the autograph joke at the beginning. 
he was asked about the representation in the movie he thought it was pretty acurrate and he thought that Billy Burke did a great job playing a chief of police. The only part he said wouldn’t have happened was that he would never have been cleaning a firearm while drinking Rainer beer as was the case with the movie.

So You Think You Can Dance - Twilight Style
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by JulieAndJasper.
I can’t find a video of it online yet, but Twilight made an appearance on (the best TV show ever!) So You Think You Can Dance tonight. Choreographer Sonya Tayeh created a “vampire-esque” dance/story set to Blue Foundation’s Eyes On Fire (from the Twilight Movie Soundtrack) with dancers Kayla and Kupono. The piece was amazing, dark, beautiful and intriguing. Think of Bella while she is transitioning from human to vampire, and Edward pulling her through.
And based on the way Sonya reacted when one of the judges mentioned Twilight as her inspiration (she jumped out of her seat and shouted, “Yes!” 
) I’d say that was exactly what she was going for. As I say all the time, “See, Twilight is everywhere.”
ETA: Thanks to Stacey for the link! Here’s the video, enjoy!
I do love it when two things I love overlap. (And if you’re not watching So You Think You Can Dance - you should be!)

Stephenie Meyer: Inspiring Moms everywhere
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by AmyO.
“Aprilynne Pike’s WINGS is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds.” ~Stephenie Meyer
Last night the lucky women over at Mundie Moms were able to chat with Aprilynne Pike, author of Wings. Sadly I wasn’t able to attend the chat (I hadn’t finished the book and didn’t want to be spoiled) but Katieb did send me a little bit of the conversation with Aprilynne.
Aprilynne was asked what inspired her to write and here is her answer:
Aprilynne: I was inspired by the publication story of a woman I met from my mother-in-law’s writing group. She was about to have her first book published. A little book you all may know about called Twilight….So anyway, Stephenie showed me that even a regular old housewife could write a book and go on to get it published and I have been working at that goal almost every day, ever since. The fun thing is that since I have gotten published, I have met TONS of moms who are also authors. I think Moms are uniquely suited to write for children of all ages.
I am continually amazed at the inspiration Stephenie has provided to so many women. I love stories like this!
So, I’m curious- What has Stephenie, a stay-at-home Mom turned best selling author, inspired you to do?
