Brandon Michael Vayda as Jared in New Moon?

Brandon Michael Vayda New Moon Jared OK Magazine has an article that touts “7 Secrets of the Twilight Sequel”. Thing is, loyal readers of this site probably already know most of the “secrets”. Some of these are a bit gossipy–it is OK Magazine after all–but, if you’re just joining us, it’s a great place to start on your New Moon education:

#1: No Narnia in New Moon: Despite speculation that British actor Ben Barnes, last seen as Prince Caspian in the Narnia movies, would play Aro, the sinister leader of the vampire world, his L.A.-based agent, Nick Reed, sets the record straight: “Although Ben has enjoyed much of the speculation, we haven’t had any calls. There’s no truth to it.”

#2: Bella’s Boy On Set: Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, will crush the rumors of romance with Robert Pattinson by keeping four-year-love Michael Angarano close. “Her boyfriend will come to visit her on set,” an insider tells OK!.

#3: The Best is Still Unwritten: With filming just weeks away, the cast (with many roles still undecided) haven’t seen their lines! “I am waiting to get my hands on the script. I am looking forward to getting to work!” Justin Chon, who played Bella’s onetime suitor in Twilight, Eric Yorkie, tells OK!.

#4: 90210 Stars Sign Up: AnnaLynne McCord will sink her teeth into the role of Heidi. Gal pal to Emmett Cullen, aka Kellan Lutz, she says, “I’m so obsessed with vampires!” 90210 actor Brandon Michael Vayda will play Jared the werewolf.

Woah!–hold it right there–this is the first we’ve heard of Brandon Michael Vayda playing a part in New Moon…..could there be two 90210ers in New Moon?

#5: Paramore is Back on Track: Rockers Paramore helped launch the Twilight soundtrack to No. 1 with their single “Decode.” Now, sources tell OK! that the group is penning New Moon’s title track. Meanwhile, RPattz, who contributed two songs to the first soundtrack, may sit this one out. “I really didn’t want it to look like I was trying to cash in,” says the modest immortal.

#6: Taylor: From Wuss to Wolf: How did Taylor Lautner pack on 25 pounds of muscle to play Quileute tribe member and werewolf Jacob Black? “A diet high in carbs and protein,” Mark Beier, personal training manager for Crunch in Chicago, tells OK!.

#7: Dakota Goes Gothic: The author describes the evil vampire Jane – who inflicts pain on blood-suckers by thought alone – as having a face that would make a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle.” And Dakota Fanning is a shoo-in for the part! The Push star tells OK!, “It would be a fantastic experience.”

    I went to High School with Brandon Michael Vayda's Sister and they definately have Native American Indian in them. I think they are like 1/4 Native American, i dont know exactly i just remember their mom picking her up from school or going to after school sports games and she definately looks Trueblood indian.Oh Well !!! i think he would make an awesome Jared.I think Brandon Michael Vayda is Hilarious in 90210 as well.He's the only comic relief to the show.As for Twilight , With some contacts on he is what i imagined Jared as in the book.

    I didn't really have a metal image of Jared in my head, so he looks great to me ^.^... I love the wolves, so as long as they're HOT, they're good with me.... -winks-
  • Alex-Erica
    Michael Copon as Sam then if they are not going to stick with native americans.

    Yay! I hope Paramore will do the title track for New Moon =D! I simply love "Decode". Anyways.. I think Brandon is not a bad choice for Jared, BUT I do think it's better if the part is given to a Native American. That was their first intention, right? Otherwise they wouldn't have held those casting days. Well.. until it's confirmed.. it's still a rumor. Let's just keep our fingers crossed ;)!

    seriously who gives a flying f*&* he's not going to look that in the movie they will make him look more rugged just like they did with taylor. i am so sick of people freakin out over the whole native american thing i'm part native american and I seriously could not care less if real native american's play the part of not do you have any idea who mean people play spanish or asian people on tv when they're actually african american or something America isn't called the melting pot for nothin people come on get over it. no one they pick is going to have the perfect look for the part that would be impossible to find everyone hated taylor before they saw him in twilight saying he didn't look the part and then some of those same people couldn't say enough positive things about him people need to chill and just wait till the movie comes out. Let the people who were hired do their job
  • TaylorLautnerLover

    It's OK magazine so there's no point in believing what they have to say.
  • claudia
    I think they should cast native american's, why go with some pretty boy, I also understand that this is just a movie, but all the fans want the best for this movie..we are just pointeing out in what they are doing wroung...
  • homemade_fishfry
    agreed. it's a movie. if they make a bad choice on one or two things the earth won't implode. take a breath. relax.
  • Jewels
    OK magazine is a lying piece of paper and unless actors themselves say something about it, then it probably isn't true.

    i love this series as much as the next vamp but honestly you guys, calm down... speculating is fun but no need to go overboard....
  • lion_lamb715
    noooo rob pls come back for the new moon soundtrack pls babe?
  • Rachaael
    I'm from the UK so i have no idea what "9201" so i can't say YES or NO!
    It's only a rumour, and most rumours aren't true. You guys seriously need to calm down :L!
  • Sarah
    Do they realize he's not Native American?

    And I really don't think I can stand more than one 90210er.
  • Matt
    I dunno who this is exactlly but I mean make up is good these days anythings possible especially with all these rumors.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • It's a small part, but he doesn't look very Native American?
  • Sarah
    just like there should be NO disney, there should be NO 90210 people!

  • minibrunette
    hmm well he is so pretty haha, with a darker skin he can play a good jared thought
  • i wouldnt mind if he was jared but i do think the part should go to a native american for that part and all of the wolves but thats just my opion u know
  • Angie
    Good lord, he doesnt even look native american Indian, what the*&*^#? I mean really what is up? Even some hispanic and phillipino actors cant fake the real deal--I think the closest fake would be to have corpon to play Jacob he has a more sinister yet kind at times look. I didnt care for Lautner to baby like for the part. And there are twin Indian girls who are models actresses who tried for Emily--I hope to god one of them gets it instead of a blondish bimbo from some tv series. Makes me wanna scream.

    SUMMIT!! FOR F**** SAKE! Native americans!

  • ennta
    And here I thought Summit was actually trying to fill the Native American parts with Native American actors. Or did I miss the part in "New Moon" where Jared was described as a generic dark-haired pretty boy?
