New Moon star Robert Pattinson was spotted in Beverly Hills this weekend walking with a friend after leaving his Beverly Hills hotel. He’s taking a break from the New Moon shoot in Vancouver in order to test screen for his upcoming flick Remember Me.

Check out the rest of the 15+ pictures over at Just Jared Jr.

UPDATE: Mystery gal is actress Shannon Woodward, who apparently dates a friend of Rob’s.

According to Austin, TX radio DJ Bobby Bones who has a role in Bandslam, an upcoming film from New Moon studio Summit, the full-length trailer for New Moon will premiere before Bandslam. Bandslam is a fish-out-of-water high school story set for release on August 14th–

The music oriented film BANDSLAM tells the story of Will Burton (Aiken), whose life changes dramatically when he is transplanted to a new school where rock-n-roll rules the scene. Perpetually a misfit, Will strikes up a friendship with like-minded outsider Sam (Hudgens). They are both surprised when the school’s “it” girl, Charlotte (Michalka) recruits Will to help her assemble a band to compete in the tri-state battle of the bands.

The timing seems about right, and the demographics for this movie seem to match fairly well with Twilight, too. Let’s hope we won’t have to wait any longer than August for the full trailer!

[thanks to everyone that sent this in over the last few days!]

The New Mexico paper The Daily Times has a really sweet article just in time for Mother’s Day about the close bonds people of all types–but particurly moms–have found within the world of Twilight. The article focuses on the excellent TwilightMoms website, and also notes that family bonds are strengthened with common interest in Twilight–

This entire family is swept up in the world that is “Twilight,” yet there are other stories similar to theirs, according to Hansen. She said “Twilight” continues to bring people together.

“It’s brought me and my sisters closer together. It’s brought mothers and sons closer together,” she said.

“Twilight” also is multi-generational, appealing to people of all ages.

“The older generation and the teenage generation, we’re able to relate on a different level,” Hansen said. “It’s more than this awesome vampire book that we’re all obsessed with. It opened up lines of communication between all different people.”

Hopefully I can speak for every TwiSon and TwiDaughter and let the TwiMoms know: We♥You! Have a Fantastic Day!
