Here’s a video from MTV news from when the cast was at Kitson in LA pimping out their designer Twilight gear and the Twilight DVD release last weekend. It’s a humorous look at their signatures–or more precisely, their autographs.

According to Marc Malkin at E! Online, Noot Seear has been cast as Heidi in the New Moon movie.

I can exclusively reveal that Canadian supermodel Noot Seear has won the coveted role of the beautiful human bait in the Twilight sequel.

Heidi is described in Stephenie Meyer’s novel as a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She has “exceptional, unforgettable” beauty, which includes stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes.

The 25-year-old dark blond stunner hails from Vancouver, Canada. (Yup, that’s where director Chris Weitz just started shooting New Moon). She’s 5 feet 9 inches tall and has blue eyes, according to her agency, One Model Management. Her measurements? 34-24-34.

What do you guys think? I think for the all of five minutes she’ll be in the movie, she’ll make a fine Heidi–she lures people for a living, and it’s not even acting! Check out the whole scoop over at E! Online. [thanks, Maryann!]

The more interviews I read with New Moon cast members, the more I get the gut feeling that the New Moon movie will have a sort of parallel plotline that gives Bella’s perspective and Victoria’s perspective. It certainly hints at this with the last scene of Twilight–and the same screenwriter is writing both movies. Rachelle Lefevre hints to this in a new interview–

“The books are all from Bella’s point of view,” she told me. “So there are things in New Moon that get talked about and are referred to, but don’t get described. Victoria spends all of New Moon trying to get to Bella. As a result, she fights werewolves and has encounters. They’ve basically tried to show more for the film. We want to keep the love triangle going, but we’ve kept more of the dark action, vampire-y stuff to keep those fans happy.”

Coupled with the “flittering images” of Edward Cullen that Ashley Greene mentioned , it seems that we’re closer to understanding what they’ll be shining a spotlight on in the movie. I wouldn’t be upset if this was the case–film is a very different medium than print, and the movie doesn’t need to be strictly first-person perspective like the book is.

Some of the top Twilight Saga fan sites have offered some advice to Chris Weitz for the New Moon movie in the form of a group post at ReelzChannel. Among the advice–

• Please don’t think of New Moon as just a cash cow! Many of us have imagined this book in our head for years. -TwilightersAnonymous
• If he gets nothing else right, Chris Weitz had better get the pacing of the movie right. The book is slow — some people think it’s too slow, but most fans agree the slow pace is necessary to show how devastated that Bella Swan becomes. If he tries to speed up the movie too much to appease the taste of people who haven’t read the book, the fans will be in an uproar.” -NewMoonMovie.org
• Contrary to beliefs that we want Rob in every scene, it is not true. How can we feel the same emotions as Bella if we are still seeing Edward every 15 minutes? It will make the reunion all the sweeter in the end if we are missing Edward just as much as Bella. -Twilight20Somethings
• Don’t be afraid to bring the emotion into the story that I felt was somewhat lacking in Twilight. This is, first and foremost, a love story riddled with strife and angst. Let those emotions out and the story will flow. -TwilightMoms

Queen Bee Stephenie Meyer has updated her official webpage to post two things she is excited about–a new CD and a new book:

I’m excited—today two things I’ve been waiting months for finally are available! So I’m off to the store…

Blue October’s new album comes out today, including “My Never” the gorgeous song Justin performed during the Breaking Dawn tour. It still makes me cry. (Other favorites of mine: “Been Down” and “Should Be Loved.”)

At last! The conclusion to the Mortal Instruments series is out. Now I can FINALLY talk about what I know. I loved this one (Thanks again to Cassandra for the early peek—you rock)!
