Cafe Press: Taylor Lautner Switches Teams

Cafe Press has a cute little feature on Taylor wearing a Team Edward shirt last night on SNL. Both shirts worn in the Twilight sketch were from Cafe Press.

Check it out here.

Taylor's Team Edward vs Team Jacob SNL Skit!!! AWESOME!

OK this is just HILARIOUS!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this, Taylor was great, didn't even crack a smile.

Taylor on DNL Tonight

Don't forget that Taylor Lautner will be hosting Saturday Night Live tonight! I'll bet there'll be some Twilight spoofing going on :-)

Wondering Why Edward Wore a Suit? Why Jacob Wore Tight Jean Shorts??

EW talked to Trish Monaghan, Costume Designer for New Moon and Eclipse about the looks we saw in New Moon ansd will see in Eclipse. I found this article extremely interesting and love how much thought and research went into it! I think they did a much better job this time with the costuming.

.....he’s getting into his graduation year, he’s in a relationship. He had worn hoodies and jeans and sneakers, and Robert, the director [Chris Weitz], and I all wanted to portray him more as a gentleman, more elegant and classic. With our vampire characters, I always went back to the time period in which they were turned to see if there’s any element I could try to simulate in contemporary clothing.....

....You had to be very careful with where the shorts fall on the hip bone, we had to make sure everything sits at the same place when they run. Each individual actor had their own request, but we also had requests from the visual effects department, because if we had big, loose shredded shorts on when they morphed into wolves, it’s too much work and too many hours to magically get rid of that clothing on camera. They wanted the shorts as close-fitting to the leg as possible, whereas the natural tendency of the guys would be to have something baggier so that they didn’t look like they were wearing hot pants. [Laughs] So if I knew they were going to morph, then they had tighter-fitting shorts.....

A Word on the CG Wolves and Taylor's Eyes

from LA Times.

SCENE STEALER
Patrick Kevin Day spoke with effects legend Phil Tippett about creating the werewolf effects for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," (and no, we're not talking about Taylor Lautner's supernatural 16 pack)......

Darkness may be a visual effects artist's best friend, but his biggest enemy isn't bright sunlight -- it's the overcast day. So adding all those CG werewolves to scenes shot in cloudy Vancouver, Canada, was a particular challenge for "New Moon" visual effects supervisor Phil Tippett and his team. "On a sunny day, you get
really nice contrasts, but with flat lighting and a furry thing -- the fur really soaks up the light and everything appears flat," Tippett said. "So to make it appear three-dimensional, we had to goose reality. We emphasized their shadows and used rim lights" to make the wolves stand out from the background. But that's not the only way Tippett and company played with reality. When that wolf checks out Bella, it's not a wolf's eyes, it's Jacob's. "We brought Taylor [Lautner] in and had him haul his eyelids back as far as possible and shot close-ups." They then added those eyes to the giant animated timber wolf used in the scene.

Previews of Rob on Ellen and Taylor, Rob & Kristen on Jimmy Kimmel

Here are some previews for upcoming New Moon cast appearances. I LOVE Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel so I'm really looking forward to seeing both of these episodes. They look hilarious. Ellen is on today and I believe Jimmy Kimmy will run this appearance on Friday night.

New Moon Cast Appearances

The New Moon Cast is making the Talk Show rounds. Yesterday we saw Dakota Fanning on Ellen, here are some clips from other appearances.

Kristin was on with Conan O'Brien. This is really a lot of fun to watch. A few pieces seem to be missing, if I find a better video I'll switch it out.

Taylor was on with Jay Leno, there's a part missing, but I don't have time to look for it right now. Sorry

Exclusive Clip revealed of Jacob visiting Bella's room...

So Much New Moon Stuff I Don't Know Where To Start!

The New Moon Press Juncket was held yesterday in Hollywood, the Hot Topic Tour Kicked off, and the stars of the Twilight Saga:New Moon are everywhere!!! There are SO many interviews, articles, pictures and videos, I cannot keep track of them all!

Here's a good place to start. The Twilight Examiner, Amanda Bell has a nice summary of last night's appearances and kick off to the Hot Topic Tour.

I will try to post more as I can.

New Moon Media Blitz

The Media Blitz for New Moon, which hits theaters in 17 days, 15 hours and 40-something minutes (not that I am counting or anything), is in full force.

Kristen and Taylor spent the weekend in Sao Paulo, Brazil, click here to read about their press conference and for a translation of their interview.

Rob, on the other hand, headed to Japan this weekend.

The three of them are scheduled to make a LOT of appearances the week the movie hits theaters, a few in NY (The Today Show, Regis & Kelly). Anyone planning on heading to the city to catch a glimpse of our favorite actors??

New Eclipse Set Pics

Some new set pics have leaked from the Eclipse filming. They seem to be from 2 different parts of the book....Jake showing up at the school after Bella & Edward return from Florida, to 'talk' to Edward AND Jake showing up at the school when Edward is away and her riding off to spend the day on the 'Rez' (as Jacob would say). Since they are wearing the same clothes, however, I am assuming it's one scene...hoping they don't change things too much, but as always trying not to form an opinion until I see it play out.

OK so not only is the wig questionable (which they have graciously covered with a hood), but the eyebrows too?? Click on the picture to enlarge it and tell me it doesn't look like someone painted her eyebrows on!?

What the heck is up with the volvo? Pictures of it have been popping up all week and I was refusing to believe it was Edward's, I am really hoping there is an explanation for this. I'm beginning to think that Summit worked out a deal with Volvo to showcase a different one in each movie.

Edward & Bella

Jacob looking very 'buff & tuff'

Jake & Stunt Double Bella on the bike, notice the clothes she is wearing are indeed the ones Bella is wearing above with Edward.

Because I feel bad for being so critical of some of the above pics, here's one that I think will take us all to our happy Edward place...

Hair & Make-up Crews touching up the Edward Bouffant!!! Who doesn't love the bouffant?

Teen's Choice Awards

Enjoy some pictures of the Twilight cast on the Red Carpet at last night's Teen's Choice Awards.

The Cullen Brothers are looking GOOD!

This interview by Entertainment Tonight was conducted after the show. I included it because I find it particularly funny the way they talk about Rob & his hair. I also don't think I have ever seen Kristen so.....(searching for a word).....likeable. (Sorry, I mean no offense by that comment).

Eclipse

According to LaineyGossip.com the Eclipse cast members who are in Vancouver had dinner together last night. (Jackson/Jasper, Nikki/Rosalie, Ashley/Alice, Taylor/Jacob, Peter/Carlisle, Bryce/Victoria, Kellan/Emmet, Elizabeth/Esme and Xavier/Riley)

They are reportedly invloved in pre-filming workouts and fight training. AND (get this) according to Lainey Jackson is involved in some horseback riding lessons!! It took me a minute to figure that out, but I assume it's for flashbacks when he is telling his story to Bella. love it!!

New Jacob Movie Still

ShockYa.com has these New Moon movie stills of Jacob, Bella & the motorcycles. I'm not sure if these are new or not, they look familiar but I don't remeber where I saw them lol.

MTV has posted a new interview with Chris Weitz. He talks about "Apparition Edward", Dakota Fanning as Jane, Taylor Lautner as Jane and much more.

Check out interview here.

Clips from Comic Con

Someone managed to get some video out of Comic Con yesterday. Here are videos of the 2 clips shown at the New Moon panel. The quality is bad, pretty hard to see, and a lot of background noise BUT we can at least get the idea of what was shown!! I am a bit surprised by the 'tension' in the first scene. PLEASE leave your comments below - I really want to know what everyone thinks!

Interview with Taylor

It's a good day for the member s of Team Jacob/Taylor, this is my second blog about him today!
