MTV Movie Awards - Help Pick the Nominees!!

MTV has opened voting for this year's Movie Awards.  Lots of Twilight Saga nominations. 

Check it out and vote here!

There's also a write-in campaign underway, check it out at Twilight Lexicon.   I think it'd be a great thing if we could 'vote' Rachelle in after all that's happened.

New Moon Press Screening

Members of the Press were treated to a New Moon Screening last night. They aren't allowed to say much about it yet. Twilight Lexicon gathered up some Tweets from various people who were there....

THANK YOU CHRIS WEITZ!
“I was very impressed not only by the visual effects and the movie, but by the acting itself. Chris Weitz is bad ass.”

“Just saw New Moon. Better than Twilight and crowd just applauded at end. Leaves on a soap opera sting….”

“I’m not allowed to say anything! But be sure to follow me tomorrow at @celebuzz – Big day for RPattz news!”

“I enjoyed it more than Twilight, lot of frenching! RT @mytwitherapy: @JasonKennedy1 so….how was the new moon press screening?!?!? ”

“@shaunssanctuary just came frm seeing NM.I guess it’s every girl’s dream to have a vampire & werewolf fighting over her!”

“One word: amazing! I was very impressed all around – visuals were stunning. The underwater scene..le sigh. And Summit was fabulous!!”

“ @LarryCarroll: “New Moon” was genuinely awesome. A lot of people are about to be very happy.”

Breaking Dawn Lawsuit

As you may have heard, someone is accusing Stephenie Meyer of plagiarizing Breaking Dawn. I suppose that when someone or something has as much success as Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight series you're bound to have stuff like this happen. It's still a shame.

The Twilight Lexicon have done some digging in the matter and have a statement from Stephenie's 'people' here.

Cliff Diving Like Bella? Oh No!

According to the TwilightLexicon, another report of fans behaving badly!

Cliff Diving: Don’t Try This At Home, KidsBy Twilight_News

We feel really, really stupid saying this, but for the love of Pete, don’t try cliff diving at La Push, or for that matter don’t try to attempt to get to the islands off-shore where there are cliffs. Jacob and pack are not on hand to save you when it goes bad. For everyone’s sake let’s respect the Quileute lands and use basic common sense. We don’t think there is any kind of mass psychosis that is causing hoards of Twilight fans to lose perspective, but please be aware that the waters off La Push are incredibly rough and unpredictable. check the picture to the left and you can see the waves and current.

Apparently the following occurred at La Push:

“There was a full scale US Coast Guard rescue operation conducted in La Push, WA on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 in La Push, WA. A Twilight fan visiting Quileute from Georgia was rescued from an Island they surmised could be the location where the main character Bella Swan goes cliff diving in the 2nd book of the Twilight Saga New Moon.

Chairwoman Carol Hatch released the following statement following the incident.
The Quileute Nation has been very welcoming of all visitors to La Push, but does condone behavior that could result in bodily harm to anyone visiting this beautiful land. We understand the eagerness of fans to seek out every detail that is part of the story, but please remember this is a work of fiction.

The Quileute Tribe appreciates the professional service of the Coast Guard.”

This was one lucky fan. Thanks God there is a US Coast Guard Station right there, but let’s not field test their rescue skills unnecessarily!
