Ok, take this with a grain of salt until we get official confirmation–but it’s not looking good for Solomon Trimble, who played Sam in Twilight. We recently told you about the Baker Twins, two Native American hopefuls for the role of Emily. Well, they are reporting through an email to a fan that–

ShaunaMissMae: … A couple of my

friends were casted as ‘Paul’ and ‘Sam’.

I’m sooo excited for them.

Hopefully one of us get’s ‘Emily’.

We can only cross our fingers that Trimble wasn’t recast, but as of a few days ago he had “not been contacted yet at all“, which doesn’t bode well.

Thanks for the tip, TeamSolomon!

90210 star AnnaLynne McCord is still in negotiations to play Volturi temptress Heidi in New Moon, saying there are still some scheduling conflicts to work out. But what is quite interesting is that she revealed in a new MTV article she almost played Rosalie in Twilight–

Something that few Twilighters realize, however, is that the vampire-loving actress nearly played Nikki Reed’s part in the original film. “They wanted me to play Rosalie,” she recalled. “I met with the producers when ‘Twilight’ was casting, the original. I was on ‘Nip/Tuck’ at the time. And they were like, ‘We’d love to have you in this little film we’re doing called ‘Twilight,’ but the family only has small roles.’ They were like, ‘It shoots in Oregon, so you probably couldn’t do it anyway.’ And I was like, ‘If it shot [in L.A.] that would be cool.”

“Then this little film ‘Twilight’ blows up, crazy,” she laughed, enjoying her seemingly predestined participation in the franchise. “So, I came back in for a [recent 'New Moon'] meeting and was like, ‘Hey, remember me? I supported you way back when!’ I’m like, ‘Let’s do this!’”

Italian newspaper la Repubblica has a great interactive Google Maps mashup covering 6 sights from Volterra as seen in New Moon. It’s in Italian, but the pictures are interesting and easy to navigate. There is also a video, article and 11-picture photo gallery. [translated]

Well, Canada–don’t say your friends to the South don’t have a special place for you in our hearts. This new edition of Twilight for HMV Canada takes the cake, perhaps trumping the Borders Special Edition and Ultimate Blu-Ray Edition. What makes it so special? Besides the fact that it includes a film cell if you pre-order between the 9th and 15th–like the Hot Topic version–it also includes a third bonus disc with 45 minutes of exclusive content! What’s on it?

• A 22 minute Conversation with Stephenie Meyer
• The Evolution of Bella’s Lullaby (5 min.)
• Becoming Edward: Rob Pattinson’s Journey (5 min.)
• Becoming Bella: Kristen Stewart’s Journey (5min.)
• Catherine Hardwicke’s Vampire Kiss Montage (2 min.)
• Catherine Hardwicke’s “Bella’s Lullaby Remix” Music Video (3 min.)
• Robert Pattinson Piano Montage (3 min.)

Best of all? It’s only $19.99 Canadian–which is only about $16 in US dolla’ bills. I see a Twilight smuggling ring as Nancy Drew’s next case!
