Sep 29 2009 'New Moon' Posters: The Most Thorougly Unlikable Collection of Faces
Summit has released some new posters for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, amassing all the main characters in three one-sheets, making it very convenient to decide whose expression deems them most worthy of being slapped in the face over and over and over. Convenient, yes, but definitely not easy. This decision is far from easy. Just when you think the dubious goddammer in the upper-right has it locked, that he's definitely the one to slap and slap and slap, you notice all these guys making a strong case to also be slapped:

Sep 14 2009 'New Moon' Trailer: Being a Teenage Girl Torn Between Vampire and Werewolf Boyfriends is Rough
The Twilight saga continues! And now there's a vampire king or something! Which is a bit ridiculous, because it isn't Dracula. If a vampire king is named, it's obviously going to be Dracula. Who's going to run against Dracula in a vampire king election? Get with it, Stephenie Meyer.
Anyway, here's the new New Moon trailer, Twilightiacs.
Jun 16 2009 Will Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning Girl-Go-Wild for 'Runaways'?
Girl-on-girl kissing. Aside from drinking, it's the most heavily encouraged activity in your dorm. Everyone wants to see it, but what if you can't find two drunk, attention-starved coeds to deliver it? Where do you go then?
Answer: to The Runaways, the upcoming biopic on Joan Jett and her early days with the all-girl band, which apparently involves girl-on-girl kissin'. Oh, but did I mention the kiss would involve 15-year-old Dakota Fanning? Yikes. Your woooooo!-or-not-to-woooooo! judgment call:
Life & Style reports that there's a makeout scene between Kristen's Joan and Dakota's Cherie Currie in the film, which is currently in rehearsals in Hollywood.
(Thanks for the link, Alena.)
Well, now we know what scene will get so blown out of proportion that it will incite controversy that completely overshadows every other aspect of the film.
Not here, though. At I Watch Stuff, I say we are done discussing a filmed kiss between consenting teenagers. Let's be mature. In Europe, it wouldn't even be a big deal. No one would be spit-taking the wine they're allowed to drink at an early age. Grow up, girl-on-girl kiss controversy-makers. End of discussion. Instead, let's blow out of proportion the even-less-actually-controversial subject of how Fanning's character, Cherie Currie, apparently went from being a Runaway to being a master chainsaw artist on the local news:

Jun 11 2009 Twilight's Haircut Indicates Fondness for Rock & Roll
Sorry to remind you, hardcore Joan Jett fans, but Kristen Stewart is playing Joan Jett in an upcoming biopic called The Runaways, and now, as you can see above, she's got the haircut to prove it.
I'm still not completely sold on the idea of the Twilight star playing Jett, but now that I'm seeing her with the hair and everything, I'm thinking she might do a pretty decent job as Keith from Voltron:

Jun 1 2009 'New Moon' Trailer, Girls
It's Bella's birthday, and you know what that means: time for the annual kiss from her undead boyfriend! It's every girl's dream; the perfect birthday--someone even bought her an intricately decorated cake from a Food Network contest! But when Bella experiences the most dramatic paper cut scene ever committed to film, one that leads to Yacht Club Vampire attacking her, Edward realizes they come from different sides of the vampire tracks. He knows what he must do: abandon her in the forest, home of the Rastafarian vampires who wear colored contacts so that you'll know they're bad guys.
Who will save her birthday now? Answer in the Twilight Saga: New Moon trailer:
May 28 2009 New 'New Moon' Photos: I Get the Sense This 'Twilight' Thing is Being Targeted to a Specific Demographic
Shock Till You Drop has posted 60-some shots from the set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and, of course, that means a bunch of photos of shirtless Young Dracula's pale limbs coolly embracing his non-vampire girlfriend. Really giving the people what they wanted. The fans said, "OMG EDWARD + BELLA 4EVER ID LIKE TO SEE HIM SHIRTLESS YUM LOL," and the filmmakers listened. Good to see that even with the change in director, there will still be just as much pandering.
Now time to lie on my stomach across a canopy bed and write out a few glittery diary pages on how I can tell Bella and Edward are still totally in love.
May 19 2009 'New Moon' Poster, Same Rustic Portrait Studio Backdrop
I don't know what it is about this cryptic image, but I get the feeling New Moon might hold some kind of love triangle involving Vampire Luke Perry, Angry Meathead, and Avril Lavigne Protégé. Don't ask me why. I just have this sense that we're finally going to figure out if girls prefer vampires or werewolves to not have sex with.

Dec 3 2008 'Twilight' Girl to Play Joan Jett
Kirsten Stewart, also known as girl from Twilight, has been cast in the role of Joan Jett in Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways. From THR:
Fresh from the success of "Twilight," Kristen Stewart is set to portray Joan Jett in "The Runaways," the rock 'n' roll biopic of the 1970s all-girl band.The Runaways were hugely influential as the first successful all-girl hard rock band; its members included guitarists Jett and Lita Ford, drummer Sandy West, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox. The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley, who thought a novelty act of teenaged girls performing in leather and lace would be an easy sell, but the girls ended up proving to be serious and influential musicians with songs like "Cherry Bomb." The band lasted about four years together, falling apart over management and money issues.
The film will revolve around Jett and Currie and follow them from the band's meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment.
While Stewart will take on the role of Jett, Cherie Currie will reportedly be played as a thin, pale, poofy-haired guy who is deeply in love with her despite differences in their lifestyle.
