The oh-so-fabulous Kaleb Nation (aka Twilight Guy) has put a little humor into the whole situation, as only he can. Thanks for the laugh Kaleb!!!

Chaske sets the record straight
Posted on 08. Dec, 2009 by JulieAndJasper.
Chaske Spencer has posted an honest and candid message addressing his rehab stay on his official site, ChaskeSpencer.com:
Personal Message from Chaske Spencer Setting the Record Straight
To all the wonderful, incredibly loyal fans:
For those of you that read that I was in rehab, I wanted to make sure you heard the truth from me directly. Yes it is true, that I was in rehab, however it was over 19 months ago, long before NEW MOON was even on my radar. It was a pivotal time in my life where I was lucky enough to have supportive friends and family to help me get healthy. I am grateful that I have been clean and sober now for 19 months and cannot imagine my life if I had continued using drugs and alcohol. Almost everything else that was written about this is blatantly false and we are exploring our legal options. That was my past, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to create a new future for myself. I encourage anyone who is in a similar place to seek support from their friends and family and know that without them, I would not have had the chance to be where I am now.
I want to thank all of you for the support you have shown, and continue to show. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Chaske

Kristen Stewart on MTV Radio
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by AmyO.
Kristen Stewart talked to MTV Radio about Chris Weitz and Bryce Dallas Howard:
“Chris did a very different thing that I’ve never had a director do,” the 19-year-old explained. “He put together a syllabus of what we were supposed to achieve and how he was going to make it easier for everyone — sort of an introduction to how he likes to work. It not only introduced the idea of collaboration but said, ‘Please, everyone, love it and be invested and work hard.’ It was very encouraging. It had technical aspects of [the shoot] — how he was so sorry that so much of the movie was going to be CGI stuff that we would have to react to — but that he was going to always make us aware of what we were acting with and never leave us high and dry like a lot of effects movies [do], because you don’t know what you’re reacting to. It was a full rundown of how he planned on making the movie. Most directors are like, ‘Have you put together notes for our meeting?’ and it’s like, ‘No. That’s your job.’ “

TwilightMOMS Book of the Month Update
Posted on 06. Dec, 2009 by AmyO.
Due to the crazy holiday season that is upon us we will not be having a book of the month for December. If you missed any of our outstanding books during 2009 this would be a great month to get caught up! You can see all the books we’ve read this year here.
We have some really exciting changes planned for our book of the month in 2010. To give you a head start on all these changes here are the books that we will be spotlighting in January:
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, “Call me Ishmael,” the first sentence of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage–tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families–in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters.
‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.’ So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.
The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg
Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating. So she vows: no more. It’s a personal choice. . .and, of course, soon everyone wants to know about it. And a few other girls are inspired. A movement is born: The Lonely Hearts Club (named after the band from Sgt. Pepper). Penny is suddenly known for her nondating ways . . . which is too bad, because there’s this certain boy she can’t help but like. . . .
You can order each of these books from the TwilightMOMS Amazon store by clicking on the book’s title. Elizabeth’s book The Lonely Hearts Club isn’t out until December 29th but you can pre-order it now. (Can’t wait to read that one! As a single TM I can so relate to the nondating club 
)

One of our TwilightMOMS, Judi (aka IsabellaCullen) sent me this picture of the t-shirts available at Build-A-Bear. Aren’t they adorable?
I don’t think they were being advertised as Twilight merchandise but there is no denying the Twilight Saga influence over those t-shirts. I love it! Twilight is everywhere!
Thanks for the picture Judi!!
