Fearnet has a list of the ten scenes they can’t live without in New Moon. Spoilers abound if you haven’t read the book, but here are a couple of the big ones–
Laurent Materializes in the Forest
This scene is important for so many reasons. We learn that the fiery vampire Victoria is planning to avenge the death of her mate and turn Bella into vamp food, but not before torturing her for a while. We also find out that Laurent has fallen off the veggie bandwagon and Bella is looking like a big slab of human bacon to him. We get the satisfaction of hearing the now-departed Edward in Bella’s head again and our theory that werewolves are real is finally confirmed.
Jacob and Bella’s Near Kiss Experience
We apologize ‘Team Jacob’ fans. We know it must break your heart to even think about this moment. Bella and Jacob are so close to wolfing out, but in the end, Bella is a one vampire woman. Plus, it’s the major turning point in the story! It wasn’t totally Bella’s fault. How could she have known Alice would see her drown? And for that matter, how could she know that when Jacob answered the phone, it would be Edward and not Carlisle on the other end? Well, she did watch Romeo and Juliet about a thousand times. That might have given her a hint as to what was coming next.

Punkd has served up some awesome new pics of Robert Pattinson to Lainey Gossip from Sunday out and about in Vancouver. He’s not wearing his usaul beanie, so we get to see his gorgeous hair in all its glory. Lainey says–
My sources tell me exclusively he, Kristen, and Taylor are all back at work today shooting in the water. She goes under, sees his face, then gets yanked out.

Ashley Chow, a student at David Thompson secondary in Vancouver, has less than kind words to say about the fact that New Moon filmed at her school–
It seemed pretty cool at first, but when you mix in the hottest celebrities with a horrible film crew, the school turns into chaos. Closing the cafeteria for two days, taking over the foyer and forcing students to make detours and stop dead in our tracks during our break and lunch because they were filming a big-shot movie was not cool.
If they had wanted us to be quiet, perhaps they should’ve thought that through before taking over our school for two days. The crew acting like our school was theirs didn’t help either.

Here are some new pictures of Bella Swan’s new house for New Moon–rebuilt from the ground up in Vancouver as a replica of the house used in Twilight. What do you think, did they do a good job in duplicating it? Check out the rest of the pics over at Twilight-Gossip.
Queen Bee Stephenie Meyer has a new interview in coordination with the Australian Twilight DVD release, and she talks about how secretive she was while writing the Twilight novel. She kept the whole process of writing the book a secret, but finally had to spill the beans and let her husband know–
“I didn’t tell him what I was doing,” Meyer says. “So he was mystified. And a little irritated that I was hogging the computer all the time. I had as hard a time telling him I was writing a story about vampires as Edward did telling Bella he was one,” she laughs.
After finishing the manuscript, Meyer’s sister persuaded her to approach a literary agent. Letters were sent to 15. Five of those didn’t bother to reply, while she received nine rejections. The last eventually led to a three-book deal and film rights.
