Rachelle LeFevre is set to star in a new Lifetime network movie called Do You Know Me, which will premiere on May 17th. She’s recently been spotted by Punkd pics on Lainey Gossip lending a helping hand on the streets of Vancouver to a fellow redhead–what a doll! Lainey also shares this news in today’s update about New Moon–
As for what’s happening today on set:
They’re shooting a scene around the woods involving Edward and Bella. Edward has to go, then leaves, then seems to be in anguish. Something about “taking his soul”. It’s the break up.

Everyone’s favorite big bro Kellan Lutz has a new interview for the Australian release of Twilight, and he talks about his favorite part of filming Twilight–
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE TO SHOOT?
Favorite scene to shoot, I would have to say (pause) probably the ballet scene, that’s where I was rigged and we did a lot of stunts and that’s my forte – I love doing stunts and getting dirty and hurting myself so it was really fun when we jumped off the balcony. You land on the ground fifteen feet below but it’s really a free fall because we have to act like vampires so it’s that rush of being safe but not feeling safe!
Check out the rest of the interview with Kellan over at Dolly.

Some of you may have read about a supposed lawsuit gumming up the production of New Moon. I decided when I first received the story a few days ago not to mention it, because it set off my BS-alarm immediately, and I didn’t want to perpetuate the falsehood. But now, so many media outlets are reporting it that Stephenie Meyer herself has been forced to issue a statement. In the interest of putting this one to rest for good, here is her letter–be sure to check the last paragraph for her thoughts on the progress of New Moon so far!

30 minutes have passed, and you know what that means–another mini-video from ET’s exclusive New Moon coverage. Hey, I’m not complaining! In this video, Thea Andrews tries to take you inside the mind of Robert Pattinson.

One of the big complaints with Twilight was the absolutely cheesy effect used to make Edward Cullen sparkle in the sunshine. Rumor has it that this effect will be improved in New Moon–apparently even the script notes that the sparkle is “better than in Twilight”.
How do you imagine the sparkling skin? Is it closer to the fan art above or something else entirely? Post what you think the sparkles should look like in the comments.

ET is really having a ball with these teasers for the exclusive segment on New Moon set to air Thursday. Here’s another video that is a 12-second clip of Taylor Lautner, with his Jacob Black wig on. This is torture!
