♥ ♥ The Forbidden Fruit Tastes the Sweetest



Even though it hasn't come out yet, i'm sure that twilight is going to be the best movie ever. I'm already in love with the book and the male cast. Just looking at the adverts i'm sure most people will judge twilight, and think it's not their kind of movie, but it actually appeals to all ages. Twilight is a fantasy/romance adapted from Stephenie Meyer's book, directed by Catherine Hardewick.
A question that twilight really emphasizes on is 'When you can live forever what do you live for?' Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) moves to the rainy town of Forks, Washington from Arizona to live with her father. Bella meets the dazzingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Edward can run faster than a cheetah, stop a moving car with his bare hands, and has been 17 since 1918. Most importantly he's a vampire, well a 'vegetarian' vampire (he only drinks animal blood), which is quite rare among the vampire population. Bella is exactly what Edward has been waiting 90 years for. The thrill begins when a new vampire finds it a challenge to hunt Bella down for her irresistable blood.
Twilight has been branded as the new Harry Potter, which is ironic, seeing as Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. I think that the characters were cast well, and after watching the different trailers (over, and over again), I think Kirsten and Robert are an amazing Bella and Edward. I love how Kirsten Stewart is probably the most well know person in the movie, yet she's not exactly a household name. The movie doesn't need any big names to make it a good movie. I think the soundtrack (that is released on Nov.4) goes well with the movie, and are most of the authors personal favourites.
I can't wait until Twilight comes out on the 21st of Novemeber!
Here is the final twilight trailer:

♥ ♥ Stephenie Meyer♥

Some one i would really like to meet (Other than the Jonas Brothers) is Stephenie Meyer, the author of my favourite book. She seems like a really down to earth person, and i think her life story is interesting (well actually quite ordinary) for a the author of an international bestseller.
Candy and Stephen Meyer had Stephenie on Christmas eve, 1973. Stephenie was named after her father (that's why she has her unusual spelling) Even though she was born in Conneticut, Stephenie was raised in Arizona. She is one of 6 children. Stephenie has two older sisters, Heidi and Emily, and three brothers, Paul, Seth, and Jake. I think Stephenie had a fight with Heidi, because in the twilight series, she 'borrowed' her brothers names for the reliable werewolves, Emily's name for a beautiful character everyone is jealous of. Whereas Heidi's name is for the cruel vampire that resembles the ice queen. She got a National Merit Scholarship and used it to get into Brigham Young University in Utah, where she majored in English. Stephenie met her husband when she was 4 years old, but only fell in love with him when she met him again sixteen years later. Now they have three sons together, Gabe, Seth and Eli. Stephenie's favourite authors are: Orson Scott Card, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Maeve Binchy, Charlotte Bronte, Daphne DuMaurier, L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Eva Ibbotson, William Goldman, Douglas Adams, Janet Evanovich. I think Stephenie has a really cool and young sense in music. Her favourite bands are : My other favorite sources of inspiration are Muse, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay, The All American Rejects, Travis, The Strokes, Brand New, U2, Kasabian, Jimmy Eat World, and Weezer. Stephenie listened all these bands while writing twilight, to influence. It took Stephenie 3 months to write Twilight, which is unbelievable. Stephenie had never read any vampire related books before writing twilight, but had a dream about a girl and a vampire in the forest, which is actually chapter 23 of twilight. Stephenie wrote twilight around that chapter. Now there are actually 4 books in the twilight saga, a series called the host, and the movie of twilight.

♥ The Daily Snail: Is actor Robert Pattinson Actually Acting? Nick Jonas Elected for President!




Is Robert Pattinson A Vampire?
Actor Robert Pattinson is actually a vampire! Just a month before the release of his new vampire movie, photos of Pattinson in the act leaked the internet. The baby is claimed to be (well was) the daughter of Rob's co-star Nikki Reed. No wonder he didn't find it hard playing the role of Edward Cullen, the teenage vampire, in the movie of Stephenie Meyer's bestseller 'Twilight'. Robert is currently refusing to comment. All I can do for now is wish for Robert bite me, while we wait for further confirmation. Watch this space :)
President Jonas

Popstar Nick Jonas is the new president. Nicholas Jerry Jonas was elected as president last night and beat his rival candidate Paris Hilton pretty bad. I guess their are more disney channel fans in America than airheads. At least the white house won't be pink (watch Paris's election video on youtube). Nick's father Paul Kevin Jonas (Senior) said ' We always knew there was presidential potential in Nick' He can Sing, Act, Play 3+ instruments, has amazing hair, and understands politics. What more can this boy do? What's the future got in store for the band? His brothers are really happy for him and have been supporting him the whole way. The band are kicking off another tour, But President Jonas will be checking in regularly at the White house.
