As has become typical in the Twilight world, the news is abounding about The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and its cast.
First things first, the US Weekly special entitled "The Sexy Stars of Twilight" apparently did so well that it absolutely had to be followed up with "The Sexy Stars of New Moon." According to Twilighters Anonymous, the magazine is available for pre-order at present, but it will not ship until September 25th, 2009. You can find out more details about that here. Once again, Robert Pattinson commands the cover.
Others are speaking of Robert Pattinson, it seems, as well. Paul Wesley of the CW's television series The Vampire Diaries had a few choice words about the actor as well in this video - and being compared to him.
Says Wesley, "Is it the hair? . . . I don't know, I don't know, I'm not sure but . . . I do know that women absolutely love him, so the idea of being compared to someone that women absolutely love is flattering."

Also speaking of Pattinson, Catherine Hardwicke's weekend words have turned the curious to archive-digging, and what emerged was this photograph of Pattinson with long hair extensions. As a reminder, she stated that when prepping Pattinson for his role as Edward Cullen initially, she wanted the character to have long, romantic hair, but after trying on the hair pieces suggested by Hardwicke, Pattinson simply said no. Glad that he did?
In the tradition of hair extensions (wigs in this case), Kristen Stewart's post-The Runaways hair-do for the set of Eclipse proved to be quite the conversation-starter in today's Twitter-fest. She was spotted by Lainey Gossip's sources with on-screen mom Sarah Clarke filming outdoors for the Florida sequences.
Stewart was recently nominated in Spike TV's "Best Actress in a Fantasy Movie or TV Show" category for Twilight. Twilight was also nominated for "Ultimate Scream Best Fantasy Movie," and Pattinson was nominated for "Best Actor in a Fantasy Movie or TV Show." Cam Gigandet was also nominated for "Best Villain."

Speaking of Pattinson and Stewart, they are both among the stars that (recently announced official) contributor to The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack, Death Cab for Cutie, wants to see in their video for "Meet Me on the Equinox." Said Death Cab's bassist Nick Harmer to MTV, "I'm of the mind-set that the more Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner you can throw in the video, the more popular the video is going to be. Nobody wants to look at us, so we'll probably be standing in the shadows."
Speaking of the New Moon soundtrack, the Mitch Hansen Band (who was spotlighted at TwiCon 2009 and interviewed in July) was the focus of a recent MTV article.
Said MTV, "As impressive as arena-rockers like Paramore, Linkin Park and Thom Yorke may be, a vocal segment of the fanbase is hoping Summit will finally give a big break to a Twi-band and incorporate a song with lyrics about the tale of Edward and Bella into New Moon." Below is their just-premiered video entitled "By You." It is the one most vehemently pushed for by MHB to become a part of the New Moon soundtrack as it compliments the notion of the cliff-diving scene with Bella so well.

he would have looked cool no matter what xD
That song is terrible.
Song is horrible...wow
"Swans were meant to fly?" come on! What a waste of 4:13! They took every line from New Moon and made it so cheesy! I think the artist made a list of rhyming words to use as the end lines of the lyrics... talent like Thom Yorke is needed in the soundtrack, not these wannabes
hell to the no. all the twi-bands sound like crap cause they are just mimicking the story and not actually experiencing it themselves. THAT is what makes twi-songs bad.
The phrase "twi-songs" is horrible.... it represents the opposite of all that is good and pure in twilight!
The song sucks! It would seem like they are trying to hard. And as for the hair extensions on Rob, while I believe it looks beautiful in almost anything not sure that would have worked out so well. Thank goodness it was decided against.
Honestly, if Kristen is wearing a wig, I don't think it looks bad.
Everyone go look at that photo at Lainey Gossip's site of the supposed Kristen Stewart. No way is that Kristen! It has to be her double!?!? It just doesn't look like her in the face enough to be her. What's everyone else think?
Near to You I think is PERFECT for new moon... Near to You by A Fine Frenzy :D PERFECT! her wig looks really bad lol I love her she is amazing but that wig! They can do better than that!
the first shot of he wig from the graduation day had me worried. These shots aren't bad at all IMO. Much more natural with the middle part. On film, it will be even better. Just wait.
BTW, that song is really bad! Nooooo!
With hair or no hair I take Robert Pattinson anytime.
• Rob with long hair? Thank God Hardwicke didn't get her way (or the helm of any more Twilight movies.)
• Kristen's wig? Damn the mullet. Nothing's going to help that hair, I fear.
• I'm unable to play the song video but from the other comments, apparently that's a good thing. They should stick with established bands for a production this big. IMO.
I love dirty long hair on a man...
i love that song!! its realy good!!!
Rob: thank God Rob said no to those extensions- his hair is perfect as is. Catherine really is crazy.
Kristen: I don't think the wig is that bad on Kristen, it's much better than some of the others- and it is a million times better than that horrible black mullet.
By You Song: Really horrible, it is trying WAY too hard to fit in the whole story of new moon. Really cheesy, I hope it doens't get put in.
Death Cab video: I hope they do the video, but something silly
Kristen's wig looks horrible, it really does look like they recycled Jacobs wig from twilight and used it again in New Moon on Kristen....ugh!!
Robert looks MORE amazing than usual on the cover of the New Moon magazine; didn't know that was possible. Glad they nixed the hair extensions - he looked like a skateboarder.
Kristen's wig is OK, but they could do better. Her hair looks stiff. However, I've NEVER seen Kristen look so happy; she looks like a new woman! Rob must have given her some happy pills, or something....
Rob's Hair: I usually like the longer hair look, but not on Rob and not for Edward. The hair they went with worked well for all involved. Silly Catherine.
Kristen: *Mehhh* on the wig. It is ok, not horrible but clearly they have the budget to make it great. I think the wig I have seen Jacob wearing in NM {via stills} has got to be the worst by far. BLEH. I hope it is not long into NM they show the nice cropped look on him.
The music: I can not see or hear it with what I am running, but it sounds like that is a good thing. Hopefully they will step it up when the soundtrack is finally released. I always thought *In Pieces* by Linkin Park would be a perfect song for NM and I think Stephanie would agree ;o}
song suck!!
rob is gorgous in any form, shape...i love uu rob
kristen is beautiful too... the wig looks pretty good
song sucks!!

Absolutely amazing! The song captures Bella's life in much of New Moon.
If they don't pick it up for the soundtrack, I will still have to have it for my collection.
damn SUMMIT DONT CAVE!!!!
THIS SONG IS PATHETIC!!!!!
musically speaking it is really amatuer, and has no merit.
SERIOUSLY.... IT SUCKS BIG TIME....
The words to the song are not too bad. However, We could really use a better group than this! They are very amatuer sounding & the lead vocalist is too high pitched for this song.
I think they need to keep searching for a different group & a different song!
Thank God that Robert demanded not to wear those extensions. Ick! In no way is it romantic.
Oh, Summit. Why such a bad wig? I hope that if Breaking Dawn is made her hair will be long enough and they will dye it. That would look 10,000 times better.
And I have NO PROBLEM with weight, fyi, before I say anything. She looks like she might've gained a little weight or something. She looks different.
i love so much robbert is the moust hotteds guy that i see in my life i love and i will be her friend i think that i'm the first fan :) iloooveeeeyouuu robbert pattison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(L)
