Stephenie Meyer: If you're a "Twilight" fan, I'm sure you've heard of Forks, Washington before. But that question is: have you already been there? If not, you should definitely on going, because ever since Stephenie Meyer's books became a hit, the town has seen an increasing number of visitors curious to see where Bella fell in love with a vampire. Forks is the setting of the "Twilight" books, which chronicle the romance between a 17-year-old who moves to the town and falls for Edward Cullen, a vampire. CNN today posted an interesting article about how the books have helped Forks become a top destination for die-hard "Twilight" fans: "In a town framed by towering Douglas fir, hemlock and spruce and the occasional western red cedar, where rough, blue col Read full story at www.screeninglog.com

Last we heard from scifi/horror writer Stephenie Meyer, author of The Host, she was on Bummer Watch after a partial draft of Midnight Sun leaked, and the author subsequently put the Twilight companion on “indefinite hold.” Amid her doldrums, she’s been working on a melancholy music video for the Southern California rock/emo band Jack’s Mannequin. Who? Why? It seems Meyer—who’s never directed before—gave the band a shout-out or two on her site. And Jack's Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon told

'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer Tries To Drown Jack's Mannequin In 'Resolution' Video
MALIBU, California — "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer has a love/hate relationship with the sun as she makes her way around the set of the new video for Jack's Mannequin. It could be part of her thing for vampires. On the other hand, it's more likely her propensity to burn that has the writer ducking into a car, then under a tent, finally seeking shelter under a parasol someone else holds up for her, as if she were royalty. But right now, Meyer desperately needs the sun — no matter how blazing

Nearly 1,000 Twilight fans swarm into Forks FORKS — "What Obsession?" That was the message printed on luggage tags sold in Tillicum Park by TwilightMom member Lucy Crow, one of several vendors offering Twilight memorabilia to the nearly 1,000 fans of the series of novels about teen love and vampires who converged on the small town Saturday.

Is True Blood the Adult Substitute for Twilight?
The new queen of vampires, Stephenie Meyer, has quite the cult following thanks to her internationally bestselling “Twilight” saga. Her books are chock-full of romance, excitement, danger, and moral questions. While fans are loyal to her stories about Bella and Edward, it seems like HBO might sway them to try something a bit more…mature. HBO’s latest drama “True Blood“ is wild and sexy, pushing the limits of what people define as acceptable in society. “True Blood” as

Stephanie Meyer’s Midnight Sun leaked online
I don’t understand how this could have happened unless she did it herself. Stephanie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series and probably the only author who has come close to one smidgin of JK Rowling’s success, is upset after a first draft of her next book “Midnight Sun” was leaked online (you can read it here: Midnight Sun Leak). Understandably, she is upset. This whole thing sort of reminds me of the whole Harry Potter Lexicon trial, with obviously major differences, but still

Twilight Moms Clean House, And We Announce the Winners
Are you too busy reading about vampires to pick up your socks off the bedroom floor? Have you been spending your nights posting on message boards under the alias “LoveSpunkOME,” rather than emptying the overflowing trash can in your kitchen? We know, Twilighters, we’ve been there too. Which made us laugh all the harder when we heard about the TwilightMoms “Clean House” Contest. As you may recall, in the weeks before the release of “Breaking Dawn,” the one and only Stephenie Meyer requested th

Twilight Author Directs Jack's Mannequin’s Video

No End in Sight for Twilight
Don't mess with a vampire -- or his author. Stephenie Meyer has stopped work on Midnight Sun, the fifth and final installment of her Twilight series. She decided to put the book on hold after a partial draft was released on the Internet. Meyer handed out only a few drafts of the book -- all to what she believed to be trusted sources. "I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited, and published," the author stated on her site. "I think it is important for everybody t
