When moving to a metropolitan city, huge commercial stores are scarce. You start to realize that when you used to live in the suburbs, you took things for granted – like Target, which just happens to be the most magical store on the face of the Earth.
That said, it is a Christmas miracle that they [...]

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 [...]

Just in case you didn’t know, New Moon comes to theaters Friday (Nov. 20) – and December issues of magazines are here to remind us. Constantly remind us.

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.

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 [...]
