ABC: Moms Crush on Twilight

August 31, 2010 – 5:06 pm

ABC examines older women crushing on the younger actors on Twilight.

“Jill Etesse was hooked on the “Twilight” books the second she cracked the series opener. She ripped through the saga on paper and rented movie No. 1.Then the madness began.

“I joined the lines of teens for ‘New Moon,’” said the 38-year-old mom of two. “My husband is deathly embarrassed. Half my friends think I’m crazy.”

Etesse, from Leesburg, Va., won’t let her 8-year-old daughter anywhere near Team Edward OR Team Jacob, but did she take herself to “Eclipse” this summer? “Oh yeah.”

Is there something, um, icky about moms lusting after the boys of “Twilight” or other morsels of ripe screen candy? Heck no, said 54-year-old Toni Downey of Limerick, Pa. We’re not dead yet!”

You can see the rest of the article on ABC.

All of this makes us wonder why people find any of this surprising. Do people question 50-year-old men crushing on Megan Fox? Hugh Hefner who is over 80 has been surrounding himself with 20-year-olds for decades.

In case anyone is wondering, after New Moon came out the entire original cast of Twilight except for Taylor Lautner were all over 18, and Taylor reached that benchmark as few months later. Currently, the only members of the principal cast who are under 18 are Jodelle Ferland, Booboo Stewart, and Cameron Bright.

Booboo Stewart and Tinsel Korey Punking Each Other

August 31, 2010 – 9:06 am

Posted by Twilight_News – 25/08/10 at 12:08 am

At the Parsippany, New Jersey stop of the Official Twilight Convention by Creation Entertainment, Booboo Stewart and his dad decided to pull a prank on Tinsel Korey.  Booboo and his dad constantly do things behind the scenes to trick the members of the wolfpack. It’s hilarious to watch them plotting because Booboo has this angelic, butter-won’t-melt-in-his-mouth innocent expressions and his dad (a stuntman, who is the size of an NFL linebacker) turns into this giddy, 13-year-old boy.

Anyway, the two of them get it into their heads that they are going to sneak into the back of Tinsel Korey’s Q & A session and then hit her with a prank question when it goes to questions being opened up to the floor. What they didn’t anticipate was the instead of staying on the stage, Tinsel decided to walk around the audience as she answered questions. So, she spotted them and turned the tables.

We got tipped off to what was going down about 10 seconds before Booboo snuck in. We had to record it all on Laura’s IPhone because there was no time to get a better camera.

So check it out. The audio is really clear. The video wobbles a bit because Laura was laughing really hard.

Booboo is winning us over in a really Mike Welch entertainer sort of way. You may just spot Laura wearing a Team Booboo shirt in the future.

Puerto Rico: Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz Are Coming For Dominoes

August 31, 2010 – 5:06 am

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are headed to Puerto Rico for Dominoes, and we don’t mean the pizza chain. Dominoes is a really popular pastime in many Spanish speaking Caribbean islands. So Kellan, Ashley, and a bunch of other celebrities are going to play in a tournament for charity.

According to the translation from the Primera Hora news site:

“A group of Hollywood celebrities is all set to travel to Vieques during Labor Day weekend. They will be participating in this year’s Hollywood Domino A-sea benefit. Hollywood Domino A-sea is a nonprofit foundation that helps children who are burn victims…Dayanara Fernandez, creator of the event, said that among his list of guests this year include at least ten Hollywood celebrities.”

See the Spanish version here and the Google Translation here.

French Fans Get to Pick Breaking Dawn French Translation Titles

August 31, 2010 – 1:06 am

Apparently the French Twilight fans get to pick out what Breaking Dawn 1 & 2 will be called when the films hit French Cinemas.

The French fans recently had a similar opportunity to name the The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. They called it “The Call For Blood”. We guess it’s all down to translation and what works better culturally in different countries.

The movie will also open in France slightly ahead of the US release dates. According to the Google Translation of the press release of the French distributor, Breaking Dawn will open “You will find so Bella, Edward and Jacob in the cinemas of France from November 16, 2011 with the release of Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and November 14, 2012 with the release of Breaking Dawn – Part 2.  !”

You can find the full translation here or you can read the original version in French on Twilight France. You get exact details how you (if you live in France) can participate in the process. Thanks to our friends at Twilight France for letting us know about this unique opportunity.
