Just in case you haven't seen the new Twilight trailer...

Here it is, the brand new Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer:



I may be one of the only people that feel like this, but the movies are so much better than the books! When reading the books, I just wanted to strangle Bella. She was so stupid and clumsy. The movies always put the annoying, 100 page stretches of Bella obsessing over Edward's God-like charm or crying because he left her into one nice little montage. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are amazingly talented and they bring so much to these characters. The one weak link (which can be seen so clearly in this trailer) is Taylor Lautner. Boy can't act. The other two literally steam-roll over him and he's left looking blank-faced saying cheese-tastic lines like "I'm going to fight for you until your heart stops beating." Although that line would be difficult for any actor to say, his rendition is so cringe-inducing you have to wonder why it made the cut?

WEZ SEZ: Twilight Saga: Eclipse - The movies are better than the books (minus Taylor Lautner).

-The Hobbit will begin filming this June. The film is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and will be released in two parts, the first in December 2011, and the second the following year. Peter Jackson is writing the script, and Guillermo del Toro will be directing. So far, Ian McKellan is the only cast member from the original films confirmed to reprise his role. It still remains to be seen if Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett and Andy Serkis will return. Read more at Screen Rant

-Jennifer Lopez told Latina Magazine that she thinks she should have won an Oscar for El Cantante. “I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don’t even think the academy members saw it. I feel like it’s their responsibility to do that, to see everything that’s out there, everything that could be great.” She also wants one for her work in Gigli, Anaconda, and Maid in Manhattan.

        -Taylor Lautner has become the highest paid teen star making 7.5 million to play opposite Tom Cruise in the film Northern Lights. Lautner is 17 years old. He will play a gifted pilot who faces off with his controlling, billionaire father. Controlling? Billionaire? Sounds like Tom isn't stretching to much with this role.














-Katy Perry and Russell Brand are engaged! Congrats to the strange happy couple.


-Take a look at what Madonna sees everyday. Her model boy-toy / boyfriend, Jesus Luz posed recently for Erik Asla whose shots will appear in a photography book entitled Icon. Jealous much?

-The NY Times finally reviewed Sarah Palin's Going Rogue. It's definitely worth a read / laugh HERE. Here's a highlight to wet your sweet tooth:

Her nasal voice, pitched in the upper register, with the upsy-downsy, singsong delivery of a kindergarten teacher, became, rather improbably, a great electoral asset. Her diction and accent were shaped more by class than region, and spiced with faux-genteel cuss words like "dang," "heck," "darn," "geez," "bullcrap," and "bass-ackwards."

-Jennifer Lopez (41) performed in Times Square last night wearing a skin tight jump suit that left nothing to the imagination. The star is well known for risqué fashion choices, and this one seems to be paying off - she was the top Yahoo search this morning. Full story HERE
