At one point, New Moon author Stephenie Meyer suggested that actor Henry Cavill could have made the perfect Edward Cullen in the movies based on her Twilight Saga books. By the time the movies were made, Cavill was a tad bit too old–and three years is a century in Hollywood, where being young is so valued. Do you think he would have been right for the part?
Flashback to the early days of the “Twilight” movie, when casting was about to begin and Meyer posted the following thoughts on the movie’s lead: “Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I’m most passionately decided upon. The only actor I’ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill. Henry was Albert, the young son in ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ Can you see it? I know I can!”

Proving that the New Moon phenomenon has hit just about everywhere, Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily Rose was spotted lounging back, engrossed while reading a copy of New Moon on a yacht. Ah yes, like we all do.
Johnny Depp and… Twilight?

Uh-oh gals, looks like there is romance afoot on the set of New Moon–Taylor Lautner is reportedly hanging out with Selena Gomez quite a bit in his free time, Lainey Gossip is reporting–
Both 16 and both in Vancouver – Selena Gomez arrived in town last week to begin work on a new movie called Ramona and Beezus.
My sources tell me exclusively that she and Taylor Lautner, of Twilight of course, have had dinner 3 times now, and that he’s been visiting her onset at her lunch hour when he’s not shooting.
Are you overloading on the cute?
Let me take it one step further:
One night they went to the Spaghetti Factory!
Awwwwww…
Lainey didn’t get the facts correct on Taylor’s age, so who knows if this is true. They’d make a cute couple though!
[thanks, Lisa/LMCullen!]
