And now, I'm telling you where you can find it...The US Weekly Special Edition
Here is another sneak peek
You can find all the info at Barnes & Noble, but you don't want to click on the details if you're trying to avoid spoilers. (The plain B&N link is fine, just not the details, make sense?) There are Italy pics included. The issue will be available June 26.
Well, I have to say that I was underwhelmed by today's interview. After the Kristen interview, I was expecting something on the same level, but that's not exactly what this is. It's no surprise that Robert recently watched 30 Days of Night considering that it was directed by David Slade, who will be directing Eclipse. Glad to know he's checking out the work of the new director. He talks about his new fame and hoping that it doesn't change him. We hope that too. And I still think it's funny that he isn't really a vampire fan.
Snarkier Than You and Jenny Jerkface are the women behind Twitarded. Their posts frequently cause me to laugh so hard I nearly cry. The Hubs is used to hearing their posts read to him between my breathless fits of laughter. You have to check these girls out. (I love you ladies, but I do have to post this warning. The language there is frequently R, and JJ would be the first to tell you this.) Click here to get info on their contest and let them know how Twilight has changed your life.
Lauren is also celebrating her 100th post with a giveaway. Of course you remember all the hilarious adventures of Pocket Edward. I have to say, making enchiladas is still my favorite. And who can forget when Lauren found PE in the oven! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, get yourself over there and read through her old posts now, hurry, run like Edward! You will be laughing for hours! Read all about the contest and the gorgeous necklace that she's giving away here.
I haven't always been the biggest fan of Kristen Stewart. Don't get me wrong, I've always thought she was the right choice for Bella. I suppose I just didn't get her, if that makes any sense. I think she's gotten a bad rap in the media and some of the fans have been really rough on her and her portrayal of Bella. If you're one of those who wasn't all that thrilled with her acting in the movie, especially the hospital scene, watch the DVD with the commentary on. When you know what was really going on there, she acted it beautifully. It was more real than you might think. Plus, the commentary is just wonderful, so you really need to watch it. Add to that the golden popcorn drop at the MTV Awards and then this interview, and I'm amazed at how much my thoughts on KStew have changed. I think she's kind of like that person you always think is so stuck up, but they're really just shy. Do you know what I'm talking about? I think she's good at what she does and she really cares about her characters. And what matters most, she really "gets" Bella, and that's all we can ask for. (Which also reminds me of the interview when she talked about doing the CGI for Bella jumping off the cliff. She really does totally get Bella.)What are the changes in this second installment? Your character Bella takes risks again…
Well, she loses what basically gives her the drive to do anything in her whole life. She loses the man she’s in love with, but she also loses her entire life plan, and she’s so young to have to be forced into a decision like that. It’s just a glorified, elaborate version of the worst breakup you’ve ever been through. All of a sudden you question everything. All of a sudden you know nothing and you’re dropped in the middle of a freezing cold ocean.
Oddly, we have a character that’s warm enough and bright enough to bring her out of that, and it’s truly gut-ripping. Because as perfect as Jacob is for her, she holds on to an ideal, the ultimate fiery love that she has for Edward even though it’s not comfortable, it’s not practical and it’s not a good idea. So it’s really a very strong thing to do. It takes someone who really trusts themselves.
So basically the movie starts out and everything’s great, and then it gets absolutely terrible, and then it gets maybe OK again, and then it’s" no, no, no, no – life is hard." It’s going to get hard again because he comes back again.
Is she introverted or just seeking an ideal?
It’s not that she’s incredibly introverted. She’s just yet to have found a connection that is truthful. She’s a seeker of the truth. She’s not one to get wrapped up in something that is a fantasy. She doesn’t set herself up for disappointment. So that’s what makes the story with her and Edward so compelling, in that this is a girl that normally wouldn’t do something this crazy.
So what does Kristen prefer, the werewolf or the vampire?
Kristen shouldn’t open her mouth (Laughs). Kristen is entirely torn. Kristen should stop using her name in the third person.
I love that last part. She's got a great sense of humor. You can read the rest of the interview here. Tune in tomorrow for their interview with Robert Pattinson.
Q. Let’s get to your character, Jacob. He is actually in love with Bella…
You must read this article. That's right, I said must and I meant it. Drop all else you are doing and go directly to the full article. Wait! Instead, read this post first then drop everything you are doing and go directly to the article. Do not pass go, and if you do happen to collect $200, don't you think you should send me a commission? Okay, I digress...
I thought Peter and Elisabeth just looked fantastic! Is that Mike Welch over Taylor's shoulder?
Choosing my favorite parts to post here was just impossible. You really need to read the article yourself, especially if you don't understand the fascination that this man holds for so many smart girls and women. (Although I must admit, as the only female in a house of all boys, I more frequently refer to myself as a girl than a woman.)

"Ready? Action! Jacob fastens a necklace on Bella. “It catches bad dreams,” he tells her. But Bella only dreams of Edward, played by Robert Pattinson. The British actor is leaning nearby on a car, a figment of Bella’s imagination. She is continually haunted by memories of this impossible love.
There's just something so awesome about actually seeing it in the theater!
