I can't wait - a month from now I will be wrapped up in Eclipse Filming and Set-Stalking and Cast Sightings and Blogging and Giggling and ..... right now - nothing... there is nothing interesting going on... I mean, Remember Me is still filming, as is The Runaways... and everyone is doing their thing... Location Scouts are out and About already here in Vancouver as there are only a couple sets being reused.... There was some yummy wolf-pup interview and clips on Twilight LExiconMARTIN: What does it mean to turn into a werewolf? LAUTNER: I think the most important thing with Jacob is that pre-transformation, he’s clumsy. He trips over his own feet. As soon as he transforms, he’s very agile. At one point, he flings himself through Bella’s window and lands at her feet, and that’s the first time Bella realizes this is a new Jacob: He never used to be this agile. I loved bringing out that side of him. The bummer is, when he becomes a wolf, that’s not actually me. When he does the cool fight scenes, he’s transformed into CGI. MARTIN: You had to bulk up for the part. LAUTNER: Absolutely. As soon as I finished filming Twilight, I knew I had to get to work right away; there could be no waiting involved. The day I finished Twilight, I came home and started bulking up. For New Moon, I’m 30 pounds heavier than I was in Twilight. MARTIN: Are you turning more heads? LAUTNER: I don’t know. I should pay more attention to that. I hope so. Taylor, you are *defffffffo* turning a few heads....rawrRead More Here

The London Free Press posted an interview with Rachelle Lefevre where she discusses rumours around Rob & Kristen (and their "love child" ha!) as well as director changes and much more.
"They have fantastic chemistry together on-screen and you know that's the kind of thing that becomes the source of rumours," Lefevre says.
"People want them to be together. People would love to hear that -- that they fell in love on the set and so they read that into everything they see.
"But all I've seen are two people who have beautiful chemistry on-screen and are bonded. Kristen, before Twilight, already had a huge resume and had worked with some heavy hitters, but she had also flown under the radar.
"And Rob, he was in Harry Potter (and the Goblet of Fire), so he had some experience with fame, but it was nothing remotely like this. So when two people go through that experience together -- the fandom and everything -- it's going to bond them."
This has been said time and time again and seems to be true. When you are tossed into this new world of crazy-fandom-success.... you tend to bond and share that experience... if there's more to it than that, they'll let us know if they want to... right?
Also regarding the director switch:
Usually when a film succeeds, a studio clings to its creator. But in the case of New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke is out, replaced by Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass).
"It could have been bad," Lefevre admits. "But I think because Harry Potter went through it first to their benefit, we were like, 'The Potter kids went through a director shift and they were OK, so we'll be OK, too.'
"And we were. Chris came in with such a clear idea of what the movie was. And he paid respect to what had come before -- so it was kind of seamless."
A third transition will happen later this year in Vancouver when another director, David Slade (30 Days of Night), takes the reins of the next sequel Eclipse.
"It's perfect timing for David because Eclipse is darker than the other two. There's more action. It's not a horror movie, but it is darker."
I am so excited about David Slade directing, I have said many times before how he is so much "darker" and even known for his gore and rawness... I think it will play out beutifully for Eclipse, just has Chris Weitz and his magical abilities will do wonders for New Moon...

From the July 8th episode of SYTYCD:
Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi danced Disco to the song “Move On Up” —Destination choreographed by Doriana Sanchez
Wow, Ade was powerful in this.... Melissa, as always, was beautiful.
Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi danced Waltz to the song “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” —Mary J. Blige choreographed by Ron Montez
I really enjoyed the "raw"ness of this routine.
I think they may be bottom three, however, because they didn't really stand out... at least to me.
Kayla Radomski and Kupono Aweau danced Contemporary to the song “Gravity” —Sara Bareilles choreographed by Mia Michaels
This was absolutely amazing to me. Kayla without make-up, very emotional, the clip before def. showed the closeness Kapono felt to the theme (Addiction) and I think it was amazing and beautifully executed.
Kayla Radomski and Kupono Aweau danced Broadway to the song “The Dance At the Gym” from West Side Story choreographed by Joey Dowling
I really liked it a lot but i preferred their first routine.
Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover danced Foxtrot to the song “Minnie the Moocher” —Big Bad Voodoo Daddy choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
I love Caitlin and Jason and I really liked this routine.
Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover danced Lyrical jazz to the song “Show Me Heaven” —Maria McKee choreographed by Mandy Moore
This was so beautiful and graceful and wonderful.... Still, I think they may be tossed into the Bottom 3 again :(
Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb danced Russian folk dance to the song “Kalinka” —Barynya choreographed by Youri Nelzine and Lilia Babenko
I agree with "Dizzy feet" it wasn't great... I felt it very.... commercially Russian... if that makes sense...
Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb danced Jive to the song “Stuff Like That There” —Bette Midler choreographed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin
I thought they did wonderfully in this but I fear it may not be enough to keep them out of the tbottom three, despite Phillip's huge following
Randi Evans and Evan Kasprzak danced Hip-hop to the song “Halo” —Beyoncé Knowles choreographed by Tabitha D’umo and Napoleon D’umo
Um - hello? WONDERFUL! I was so very impressed with the way they did this, I agree that NappyTabs chereographed to their strengths, allowing them to be themselves within the hip hop and it worked... well!
Randi Evans and Evan Kasprzak danced Samba to the song “Ritmo De Bum Bom”—Jababa choreographyed by Anya Garnis and Pasha Kovalev
This was a good routine but they weren't passionate enough, they are so cute together, I am sad to see the couple split next week.
Janette Manrara and Brandon Bryant danced Argentine Tango to the song “Libertango” from Forever Tango choreographed by Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo
This was amazing. I am not an expert so I wasn't sure if they were nailing those leg moves or not... but the judges say they did and they are the experts...
Janette Manrara and Brandon Bryant danced Jazz to the song “Ruby Blue” —Róisín Murphy choreographed by Wade Robson
A-friggin'-MAZING.... Wade Robson is freaking awesome, these two dancers are freaking awesome, if they were in bottom three i'd wonder what American was smoking ...
So bottom three - my predictions - - -
Jeanine Mason and Phillip Chbeeb
Melissa Sandviga and Ade Obayomi
Caitlin Kinney and Jason Glover
Not that I WANT that I just predict that...
And without seeing their solo's I would say Jason and Caitlin go home... *shrugs* I really don't know.... I worry Evan and Randi may be bottom 3 and that would throw things around.... also Phillip may have come as far as he can, he always rocks the solos and he is growing with all these new styles and his fan base is high... as is Kayla's.... despite being thrown in bottom 3... argh! I don't know this week... I really don't!

Of course we all know that Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire (4th movie)
 Now Jamie Campbell Bower has been cast in the last Harry Potter film (Deathly Hallows part I and part II, both being filmed now) as Gellert Grindelwald.
I have to say I love the HP/Twi connections....
FYI - November 2010 and July 2011 are the release dates for the final two films, though both are being filmed currently.
There are connections between the two and also a lot of debate... "pick one, which is better"
I have to say that both movies/books are great.... but the connections are interesting...
Some connections others have noticed:
The buzz words tag on Twilight specifically and the Bella Swan novels in general as “the new Harry Potter” is justifiable beyond the popularity it enjoys with young readers; it’s in many ways the same story.
Like Harry Potter, Twilight’s themes resonate with postmodern core beliefs while illuminating a few of its blind-spots. Certainly we have the celebration of the misunderstood “other,” the tribe(s) alienated by the predominant metanarrative, as the secret keepers holding the answers longed for by those despising them as evil and inhuman. And there’s quite the conflation of sexuality and spirituality, a real signature of our times...
...both Harry Potter and Twilight are “cross-genre bildungsroman novels laden with postmodern themes and religious meaning.”
Who would win in a fight? Harry or Edward? 
I saw, who cares.... the more important question is who would you bang ;) *ahem* yea...ha
When it comes to sizzling hot (or marble pale smooth cold....) It's clear that Edward would be the man to bring home... forever.... however, I love both stories very much and find that both series have gotten kids (and moms) reading again.... both contain great magical, mystery and I'd never "choose" one over the other. The fact that the Twilight Series is being filmed locally makes me a tad biased and more involved in the whole thing... but if HP was filmed here I'd be equally thrilled!!!
And the cast from Harry Potter supports Robert:
According to the Digital Spy, both Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) who were once castmates of Robert Pattinson in the Goblet of Fire movie voiced their support of Rob’s career.
Daniel Radcliffe stated, “I won’t pretend we’re best mates or knew each other really well but we really enjoyed working with each other, or at least I enjoyed working with him! He’s doing brilliantly, which is fantastic.”
Tom Felton said, “It’s just great to see someone who has been in Harry Potter have a life after it, and a much bigger one! So I wish him all the success and I will see Twilight soon, I promise!”
Can I just add - for the record... um - wow! (Used to be a HUGE Draco/Tom fan... still some photos make me go yum... don't judge me!!! *hides*)
