30 Seconds To Mars Play With a Rob Cut Out During Interview

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

At the end of an interview with MTV, Jared Leto pulled out a Rob cut out and proceeded to “interview” it. Sure, he called him Rob Patterson (don’t act cool, Jared. You know his name, you’ve met him before and have bragged about it on your Twitter by posting his correct name! tsk, tsk…) but he still couldn’t stop checking out the cut out. Watch the video above.

You’re a fan, Jared. It’s ok. We know.

Entertainment Weekly’s Ultimate Sexy Beast Winner Is…

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries! … :( Sadly, his twitter following took over the poll after Ian posted a tweet asking for help. We tried as hard as we could to give the title to Edward/Rob, but oh, well. You were a strong competitor, Ian! I salute you.

Here’s how it went down:

Still, the final Edward-v.-Damon showdown trumped ‘em all. Our polls were open for 72 hours, and midway through the final day of voting, the virile vampires were separated by less than 200 votes. With six hours remaining, and our finalists still locked in a statistical dead-heat, EW.com’s Sexy Beast special-ops team decided to hide our poll results, and began to plan a special issue of Entertainment Weekly commemorating a tournament that had becoming nothing short of an Internet sensation. When the blood, sweat, and broken fangs were wiped away, who was the winner? Let this be the official reveal: Damon Salvatore eked out a mild upset victory over Edward Cullen by a margin of 138,630 to 134,728, a difference of just 3,902 votes.

Vampires Bring New Life to Hollywood Worth More than $7 Billion Dollars

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

The Hollywood Reporter has a great article in which they talk about the success of vampires that started thanks to Twilight in 2008.

Just this week, the Fox/New Regency “Twilight” parody “Vampires Suck” grossed $20 million, and 5 million regular viewers are rabidly following HBO’s newest hit, “True Blood,” as it swoops toward its season 3 finale Sept. 12. Meanwhile, Justin Cronin’s “The Passage,” Stephenie Meyer’s “Breaking Dawn” and Charlaine Harris’ “Dead and Gone” hover on best-seller lists.

Globally, the three “Twilight” films, released in 2008, 2009 and 2010, have a $1.76 billion cume at the global boxoffice. The first two each has grossed another $160 million or so in home video sales (the third hits Blu-ray/DVD in September). That’s more than $2 billion right there.

If the coming two installments of “Breaking Dawn” — which Summit will release in November 2011 and November 2012 — do similar business in theaters and the home-entertainment market, that would add another $1.7 billion to the coffers.

Sales of the first “Twilight” soundtrack total 2.6 million, with all scores and soundtracks related to the Meyer films nearing 5 million. Assuming $10 per unit, that adds another $50 million or so to the tab.

The book world, swarmed as it has been with vampires since Stoker popularized the myth, has gone bonkers with bloodsuckers since Meyer published “Twilight” in 2005. Her four “Twilight” novels, plus the “Eclipse” offshoot “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner,” have sold in the neighborhood of 100 million copies.

Global magazine estimates that “Twilight” alone has generated nearly $500 million in merchandise.

Read the full article and see how much True Blood and Vampires Diaries contribute with for this 7 billion sum. Hint: Not as much as Twilight.

Stephen Moyer Apologized To Rob For Calling Him “The Diet Coke of Vampires”

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Actor Stephen Moyer from True Blood revealed in an interview that he apologized to Rob after calling Edward Cullen the Diet Coke of Vampires.
Like the class act that he is, he regretted the comments he made and sent him a note apologizing and making it clear that he was referring to his character, and not him, when he made the comments.

“I sent him a message saying, ‘Dude, I hope you realize that this is a joke’.

“I did call him a wuss. But I didn’t call HIM that. I referred to his character.”

In another moment of brutal honesty, he revealed he has never read the Twilgiht books or seen the movie. And forget about meeting Rob. That hasn’t happened either.

“I haven’t even seen Twilight. I don’t even know the books.

“All I know is that one thing – I think he drinks cow blood instead of human blood.”

No, Stephen, Edward doesn’t drink cow blood.

Twilight Twitter Haiku Day 1

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

We had some really nice submissions last night for our #TwilightHaiku contest on Twitter where you can win official Eclipse merch like t-shirts and bookmarks. I originally thought only a handful of submissions would be sent, but I got many, all of them very good!

What is a Haiku?

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, it’s 3 line verse and it doesn’t have to ryme. The first line must have 5 syllables. The second line must have 7 syllables and the third line must have 5 syllables.

I asked users to send their Haikus. They could be funny, silly, sexy, serious, as long as they were Twilight related.

There is still time for you to join our contest. Read all the rules and information here. We’ll start re-tweeting new #TwilightHaikus tonight and tomorrow morning I’ll make the Day 2 post :) .
