I, along with three other journalists, enter a conference room waiting for the arrival of Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, uber-stars of the Twilight franchise. With the second installment New Moon hitting theaters today, it makes me wonder if press is even necessary for this film. All they had to do was slap Robert Pattinson’s [...]

Well, he kind of showed us his six-pack.
Tonight, stars of New Moon, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were welcomed by throes of “Twi-hard” fans at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco.
First they stopped by Nordstrom and then they went on to the Goth headquarters of all that is Twilight, Hot Topic and they ended the [...]

When I say Alice and Emmett, I am referring to actors Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. The two stars of New Moon will be doing a free (yes, FREE) Q & A at the Stonestown Galleria 7:30 p.m., Monday November 9.
Lutz (who portrays the super-strong vampire Emmett) and Greene (who plays the pixie clairvoyant vampire [...]

I can’t help myself. I know I just did a post about New Moon and how it is going to be “edgier,” but I feel my inner tween breaking out of my skin like a bad case of Hannah Montana gums.
I realize that I am behind on New Moon news, but I just saw [...]
