Is "Twilight" Worth Reading?
I have not been living in a cave for the last 6 months so I am fully aware that "Twilight" is headed swiftly to theaters, that it's a riff on Romeo & Juliet and is based on a series of insanely popular books. Despite not being a Twilighter (the preferred name for fans) I am looking forward to the film, especially since speaking with stars Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz and hearing first hand how this won't be a "Harry Potter"-style saga. So here's my question: should I read the books before seeing the mo

Lisa Edelstein from House looked sweet in a retro blue dress and her tiny clutch. I want her haircut. I love Niecy Nash in her purple get-up and flower, but then you all know I'm a sucker for bright colors. Creative Arts Emmy winner Sarah Silverman looked like she was late for class in her school-girl inspired ensemble. New dad David Spade looked like hell, but what else is new. Jennie Garth looked fantastic in her little black dress, with husband Peter Facinelli on her arm. Dania Ramirez brought some s

Nicole Kidman At Elle's Women In Hollywood Event
Call me crazy, but I think that laying off the Botox during her pregnancy has really done Nicole Kidman's face some good. I can actually see some tiny wrinkles and expressions! She's even revealing a little bit of silver in her roots. Personally, I'm loving these little flaws--they're actually making her look human! To top it off, she's wearing a gorgeous green dress, paired with a complementary jewel-toned purse on the red carpet for Elle's Women in Hollywood event. Not to be out done, fellow new mo

Nuove foto dal set, riflessioni sui sequel e novità sulle scene aggiuntive
Ben ritrovati! Oggi vorremmo ringraziare di cuore tutti coloro che ci hanno inviato materiale su Elizabeth Reaser. Ci spiace se non siamo riusciti a rispondere a tutte le mail, erano davvero tante! Ma le abbiamo lette tutte con piacere. Purtroppo sembra che Elizabeth non parli mai di Twilight e del proprio ruolo nei panni di Esme, neppure nelle pochissime interviste che concede. Vi proponiamo comunque questa intervista per la tv americana, che ci è stata segnalata da Antonella (grazie mille!). Ahimè, nepp

Nuova foto, info sul trailer e intervista a Mike Welch
In queste ore gira voce che il full trailer di Twilight (previsto per la seconda metà di ottobre, come vi annunciavamo ieri) potrebbe essere abbinato al film Sex Drive, prodotto dalla Summit. Il film esce negli Stati Uniti il 17 ottobre, ma il trailer potrebbe essere online già uno o due giorni prima. Si tratta comunque di un rumour, ma speriamo di potervi dare conferme e/o smentite nei prossimi giorni. Poco dopo l’uscita in inglese, dovrebbe essere disponibile anche il trailer doppiato in italiano.

Poster inglese e interviste varie
Certo che in questi giorni ci sono davvero poche novità… In attesa che esca qualcosa di grosso, oggi raccogliamo alcune piccole news sparse in rete negli ultimi giorni. Poi continueremo anche a tradurre i vecchi Twilight Tuesday, visto che finora vi sono piaciuti :) Meno male che domani è martedì: chissà cosa ci aspetta su MTV questa settimana… Comunque devo confessarvi che su Elizabeth Reaser (Esme) non si trova proprio niente… neppure una foto minuscola!

Un sacco di nuove foto!
Dai commenti al post precedente, mi par di capire che ci sia un po’ di confusione sulle modalità di trasmissione del trailer di Twilight. Allora, ricapitoliamo: Un PEZZO del trailer (uno “sneak peek”) sarà trasmesso alla tv americana il pomeriggio del 9 ottobre (in Italia, per il fuso orario, sarà la notte tra il 9 e il 10); Subito dopo, il trailer INTERO sarà messo online, per un’ora soltanto (dalle 5 alle 6 del mattino ora italiana) nel widget che è presente sul sito ufficial

Ryan Eggold on Kissing 90210 Costar Jennie Garth: ‘Isn’t That Scary?’
Ryan Eggold’s character on 90210 may seem too cool for school, but the actor is still learning how to keep his cool when it comes to kissing costar Jennie Garth. “Isn’t that scary?” Eggold told reporters Sunday at the Emmys. “She’s married too, so I feel like I’m breaking another line.” Eggold plays English teacher Ryan Matthews, a new love interest for Garth’s character Kelly Taylor on the show.

Jennie Garth goes Stepford Wives
No, this is not an ad for Crocs. It’s Jennie Garth’s family, who are a little too… matchy? Too flawless? Too perfect for words! Kelly Taylor has come a long way from stealing Dylan McKay out of girlfriend Brenda Walsh’s grip on Beverly Hills, 90210. Jennie, in her Ralph Lauren–esque getup and with her perfectly put-together children (10-year-old Luca, 5-year-old Lola and Fiona, 18 months) and husband of seven years, Peter Facinelli, look more out of Stepford than Beverly Hills. Somehow we c
