Woo Hoo!
I can't wait!

YAY! looks like a good emily.

I agree, I think she looks like she fits the part really well. Not sure about her acting background, but I still think it's a good choice so far.

i agree too...shes just what i pictured emily to be except for the huge scar lol

I dont think she can pull off the part she isn't what i would picture as the "stunningly beautiful Emily" as the book describes.

very happy for her congrats on getting the role tinsel u will be or i hope will be a wonderful emily

WHOOO!!! IDK WHO SHE IS BUT I THINK SHE'LL MAKE A GOOD EMILY LOL... even tho this isnt about rob still love ya rob =]

I just can't wait to see Emily and the whole wolf pack together....I need some pics or something

I agree. I really hope they make some as promotional pictures

Congratz to her... I think she looks like the Emily in my head =]
Wish her tonz of luck!!

for sure! she looks a lot like the emily i pictured! her and the one who is playing sam are the few characters that are looking like the pictures i made of them while reading.

Congratulations Tinsel!!! This is awesome news! I was rooting for you!!!! I'm sure you'll do a great job!

YAY! I have my original Emily! This is so exciting! I have been following Tinsel for a while now and I am thrilled for her! Now I want to hear Crystle Lightning as Leah for Eclipse.

OMG I just googled Crystle Lightning that girl is GORGEOUS!!! I hope she's Leah

Isn't she! I think she could pull off Leah. When I started reading Leah, in Eclipse, Crystle wouldn't get out of my head.

Same thing happened with Gil and Billy Black and now Tinsel and Emily. :-)

Except I did have Eddie Spears in all his sexiness pegged for Sam.

Me too! I had Crystle in mind for Leah & was considering Q'orianka for Emily, but then I saw Tinsel in a movie & just absolutely adored her. She's so versatile, I knew she would be great in either role, but I'm just so happy she's confirmed now :) Congrats Tinsel!

Cool!! Someone else for Crystle! I did think of Q'orianka for Emily. In fact, had they not cast Tinsel I wanted Q'orianka. She is so gorgeous and talented! I wouldn't mind having her brother Kainoa Kilcher to portray Seth.

gahh i LOVE seth. he is one of my favorite characters! i feel like him and alice go hand in hand with their tolerance and lovable-ness lol

Omg, Teamwolfpack you have to contact Melissa and tell her to cast Crystle as Leah! That girl would totally kick butt playing her. She is gorgeous and stunning, Native, and trained in weapons! That doesn't get better than that and she is a good age for it too. Just wow, you hit the nail on the head!

haha! If someone can find Melissa's e-mail address then I will give Melissa the name! I adore Crystle. I have seen a couple of her films and fell in love with her. She is uber talented. Her mom Georgina Lightning is a kick arse director/actress. I had her mind for Sue Clearwater, but yeah. lol. I can get carried away with the Native parts.

I try so hard to keep up with Native actors/artists/musicians/ect so I can support them. I sorta had a "wish list" of who should be cast in New Moon and Twilight (for Billy & Jacob).

she is an absolutely beautiful girl. I wish her luck and look forward to see her in NM.

Awesome!! Usually I'm pretty skeptical on some people but she seems like a very genuine person. Perfect for the role of Emily!! :)

the discription in the book explains a beutiful sweet warm -hearted kind of person. I think Tinsel korey will be a perfect Emily! When will new moon come out? (I know nov. 22) but icant wait!!! Then I cant wait for Ecclipse & Breaking dawn (please be PG-13!!!) to come out! I cant wait to see what Claire looks like because we share the same name! I hope she's not a blode!!! ( Nothing against about one - tenth of blonde people some of them are smart and nice like Stephine Myers.) ((by the way taylor beats robbert anyday!! Tayor rocks!))

awww another musician joins the twilight cast!

She will do a great job as Emily! good luck Tinsel!

Yay, glad to see this "official"!

do we know who will be playing leah?

Melissa Rosenberg says Leah isn't in New Moon so I don't think they've cast her yet... But someone else may know more.

Another musician. Robert, Jackson and now Tinsel. Why don't they get together and make the movie soundtrack themselves? lol

Congrats Tinsel! Glad she's finalized. Now...the Volturi...where are they? Apparently they've already been cast.

Your forgetting Kristen, Nikki and Alex, they are all musical as well, can you imagine the jamming sessions that go on in there hotels and trailors!

Congrats Tinsel!

Can't wait for New Moon. I just heard tonight that Eclipse will begin production in August. I can't believe how back to back everything is for this series, but I suppose you have to keep the momentum. Hey there is a cool Widget you can add to your blogs that you can vote for your favorite New Moon fan poster you might check out.

Definitely a good look. She is perfect for Emily, jeez I can' t wait for New Moon!

im sooo excited!!!
xD

OMG Teamwolfpack you have to get in touch with Melissa ASAP and tell her to cast Crystle Lightning,lol! She would be perfect and she is stunning! Wow, she fits the description to a tee and she is Native and young enough too. She would really hit the nail on the head and kick ass if cast as Leah. I repeat PERFECT.

OMG TeamWolfPack you have to get in touch with Melissa and tell her to cast Crystle for Leah, lol! That girl is stunning and perfect for Leah. She is native and even the right age and trained in weapons and everything! That chick would kick ass as Leah for real. Right down to a tee Crystle Lightning would hit the nail on the head. Good looking out TeamWolfPack!

OMG Teamwolfpack, you are so right! Please contact Melissa because Crystle Lightning would totally kick ass as Leah for real. She is perfect to a tee. She Native,young, and trained in weapons, lol. Not to mention stunning and gorgeous, just wow. You hit the nail on the head, good looking out. Really the total package.

congratulations =)

TeamWolfPack: I love your choices. I'm not Native American (I'm a Latina) but I LOVE Native American movies. I too would have LOVED to see Eddie Spears play Sam. Then they could have thrown in Michael Spears as an extra somewhere. Who else was on your wish list?

Eddie and Michael Spears are so yum! Anyway this was my little wish list. I didn't have everyone picked out specifically for the movie, because a lot of the actors/actresses I had in mind were just too old. However younger version I could easily see....
Billy Black - Gil Birmingham
Rachel Black : Jana Mashonee
Jacob Black : Nakotah LaRance (nobody ever agrees with me on him. he was the only younger, native actor I could think of when I heard they were casting for Jacob)
Jacob recast : Eddie Spears (I was against recasting jacob and I *heart* taylor but I was even more again Michael Capon. Anyone that has seen Eddie's work knows he could pull off Jake's bitterness and attitude. After Taylor earned the role I wanted Eddie for Sam.)
Quil Sr : (my personal fav actor but I seriously doubt this character will be in the movies) Eric Schweig
Jared : Noah Watts
Kim : (Jared's imprint) Teneil Whiskeyjack
Harry Clearwater : Wes Studi (I wouldn't be surprised if the character didn't make it all)
Sue Clearwater : either Georgina Lightning or Sheila Tousey

Tinsel is so pretty.
:)

I'll admit she was not my first choice for emily but I think she'll do well with that one minute screen time

Okay I was playing around on you tube and I found a Tensil video. It's a little video that contains more of her acting. I thought that since some of you have not seen her stuff you would be interested.

Tinsel is going to be amazing as Emily.
Chaske Spencer aka Sam Uley is soooo cute.
