AshleyGreeneCouchSaturday Night Magazine has an exclusive interview with New Moon vampire Ashley Greene (aka Alice Cullen).  They have some stunning shots of Ashley and a video from the photo shoot.

How has it been with the other Twilight castmates? Is there anyone on set that you happen to be closer with?
Kellan [Lutz] and I are very close. I have different relationships with different people – and it’s really great, I kind of get the best of everything. Rachelle [Lefevre] and I have this, like, zest for life. She and I can just go and have a glass of wine and unwind, and we work out together and stuff like that so she and I have that kind of relationship – I think we’re both easygoing, fun people. Kristen [Stewart] and I recently got closer. I feel like in the first film, we were friends, but with our schedule we were never in the same place at the same time. So, with the second one, it was more intimate as far as the amount of people involved. After the first week or two of production, it was just me, Kristen, Rob and Taylor [Lautner], and then Rachelle was there for a little bit. Taylor’s super, super sweet, and Jackson [Rathbone], I adore. I love them all. They’re great.

What do you make of this Robert Pattinson craze? It’s starting to get to the point where the pandemonium is putting him in dangerous situations. What’s your take on that?
It’s sad for Rob! It’s a hard thing because we absolutely adore our fans, and he does too, and they helped us get to where we are now so you have to be thankful for that. I applaud him – with my fan encounters, there’s a process. It’s kind of like this chisel effect where there’s one and then it’s two and then it’s five, so I was kind of able to ace it. But he got slapped with 25,000 screaming girls so I definitely think he’s taking it in stride. They love him so much and I know they don’t want to hurt him, but people just don’t realize that when they’re that many people coming with a force, it can be very dangerous sometimes.

Now that you are in the public eye, how do you deal with people speculating about your personal life all the time?
It’s kind of laughable because it’s amazing that people are so intrigued by who I have lunch with and whatnot. This is my thing: If I was in a relationship with someone that I really cared about, it would upset me if they speculated something about me and someone else because that other person has to read it. That’s the part which I haven’t encountered yet because I’m not in a relationship, but I’m just waiting for it – and then I’m sure I’ll hate it. It’s something I have to get used to, I guess. It’s all apart of this job. It’s like the little fine print of dating me – “You will now be thrown into this Twilight whirlwind.” The fans embrace everything that we do, so if I started dating some guy they would probably embrace him too.

    We adore him and applaud him every day.
    Sh*t, I would have already had a break down if I was in his position!
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    *hug*

    just because you used "you're" properly. yup.
  • CC; MiamiCoven'sJane
    Lmao!
    I'm guessing you're a grammar freak like me.

    I slip sometimes though (especially on Rob posts).

    The power that man has over women is beyong me.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    oh yeah, i'm def. a grammar freak, and a spelling freak too. (= but i wholeheartedly agree that posts with twiguy stars reduce us normally verbose fans into incoherent puddles of speechless, bumbling goo!
  • CC; MiamiCoven'sJane
    "incoherent puddles of speechless, bumbling goo"

    Lmao!
    You are my new bestfriend.

    Those are the perfect words to describe the entire female population when the twimen stars are involved!
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    LOL i do my best to convey exactly what i mean. words are all we have, and when they're stolen from us by hot twimen, i don't think it's fair to expect us to be lucid! (=
  • MrsSpunkRansom
    Aww, i love Ashley! She's absolutely freaking gorgeous and seems like the sweetest girl ever :)
  • cutesweetiezzz
    Ashley, she's dead dead gorgeous!

    I would love to be her best friend!
  • Riss<3Twilight-TeamBELLA
    I was close to breaking the top 10. lol I love Ashley, she really is such a sweetheart.

    Most of these post I've already seen thanks to the wonderful community of NMM.org.
    I don't know how I would have survived the dry spell without you.

    No offense to Will or LMC I understand you two have lives:)
  • 17th....I think...Yeah!!! lol

    Ashley, looking gorgeous as usual. She is always great at interviews, very well-spoken and classy. She did wonderful at the VMA's....she has alot coming for her in the future!

    whoa top 20... that hasn't happened in a while. (= poster posts are nice but I heart me some interview news!!! and i know know if any of y'all saw the whole "What if twilight was made in the 80's?" post, but ashley's TOTALLY rockin the ally sheedy hair in that second pic LOL!
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    Dude dude dude!!!!!

    I'm pimpin' Blackout on this board. IT'S AMAZING. Seriously. You write in Edward's voice better than Steph did in Midnight Sun, no joke. This exactly how I envisioned Edward would write.

    <readies new post with her favorite quote...>
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    YAY!!! i'm so glad you like it (= (= (= really, it means a lot to know people like it. it's been incredibly difficult to write even as much as i have b/c i know if i mess this up i'll have hordes of rabid fans lunging for my throat lol!
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    --
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    When I started reading it, you were like reading my mind. I was about to email if you followed the quotes and the general actions and decisions the characters made or if you went off script at all, even in the scenes Bella was in, and you answered me almost immediately LOL. I'm gonna refrain from commenting on the content because I'm going to post in the snap-aggrandizing post I'm about to write up. But I just have to say that I started crying walking down the street imagining Rob's perspective in the break-up scene. Literally crying and going to my happy place because that's gonna be so rough to read.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    oh honey, believe me it was so rough to write!!! it took me days to work up the courage to even sit down to do it, and when i finally did it took another couple of days to get it out. gah, i'm tearing up just remembering it!!
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    I can only imagine. And I'm sure that was why Steph didn't write the saga from Edward's perspective. Not only do you have to think like a mind reader thinks (hearing all those voices in head all the time is like what exactly??), you have to be cognizant of what the other characters are thinking AND how they'd perhaps speak differently from what they'd think. It's hard work.

    And anyone who tackles Alice in a fanfic deserves praise. You'd literally have to have the entire work completed before you started from the beginning with her. So, I bow down to you.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    Yeah, believe it or not Alice is actually harder for me to write than Edward. Edward is very extreme but that also makes him easier to write on a broad spectrum and then work on the details pre-posting. But with Alice I really have to try to stay away from writing her as being too playful (and trust me, the temptation's there) because when you think about it she has a really dark past and has a lot of history as well as a big burden on her shoulders with the expectations of her family. The whole "fashion-loving pixie" persona is so easy to fall into and you have to remember that's just one facet of her very intricate personality; if you get to carried away with it she comes across as air-headed and I really want to avoid that.
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    I never thought of her as an air-head for some reason, although I'm unsure if Stephenie wanted her to be since she was into all that girly stuff. But since she's a peripheral character, I would think since you're adapting Stephenie's work, your readers would come in with their own perceptions of Alice in mind. Unless you made her a red-leather wearing vixen (hah!), I don't think you'd be able to ruin her.

    Now besides wanting to know and create what the heck Edward was up to in South America, (that's one reason why I'm assuming you're writing this) why New Moon? As began to read this, of course my mind went wild thinking about what Edward was thinking during the leg-hitch scene in Eclipse, or the headboard-breaking scene in BD... yeah, my mind is simple that way. No, but seriously lol, why NM?
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    OK, hol' up one sec.

    Who did you photoshop Robstenlor's heads on??? It's not the chipmunks. It's not the animaniacs. Gawd, this is gonna drive me crazy.
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    OH MY LORD. I AM SLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW.

    I GET it now LOLz. GENIUS, as usual.
  • snapcrakklepop_needsNMnow
    ROFL!!! i love it. you're awesome.
  • ohmy_feathers
    I like her wavy hair look! ♥
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    Oh Ash, you're so purty.
  • ahhhh!! *looks at NTJB avvi* what.....hm..im confused...what is that?
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
  • whoooa haha thank you VERY much! lol
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    LOL no prob.
  • woah, robs sexyness never ceases to amaze me.... :)
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    RIGHT!!!
  • Nay (Team Up Against The Wall)
    Love ya Miss Ashley. You're just a gorgeous sweet girl.

    Glad that the schedules were different this time around and you got closer to the other cast members too.

    I'm sure whenever you starting dating someone everyone will be happy for you. So pick a nice boy okay with tough skin because you're right he'll get thrown into the whole Twilight craze.
  • marie_C - Team switz

    She´s a true star too!!!!

    Sooo.... gooooo Ashley!!! :D
  • mschicklet
    Well okay. I can see why she'd be cautious about wanting fans to come up to her, at this point.

    But if I ever saw her on the street, I would approach her cautiously and respectfully, and I hope other fans aren't so scared of upsetting her that they miss out on their once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet her....
  • TheHoneyBear
    She looks gorgeous as always.
  • TEAM SETH
    60th!!! Woo!

    Oooo...I'm so totally envious of that red dress, its amazing!!!

    *glares at picture*

  • My_brand_of_Leg_Hitch
    Ashley, so sweet. Nice to know they're not all completely put off by a few crazies!
  • TheHoneyBear
    They are... but I definitely don't mind the 'intellectual and physical foreplay'...

  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    OK, I don't read fanfics to avoid the usual horrid grammar and/or the verbalization of fantasies and impulses rather than a well-thought out inspired adaptation. But I took a chance with snapcracklepop's "Blackout" and fell in love with it from the first paragraph. I wanted to share it with you guys because it's literally Edward's voice. I think she grasped his essence exactly, even better than Stephenie does in Midnight Sun.

    Here's an excerpt I LOVED:

    “Well, that’s a shame…” before I lowered my lips gently to hers and allowed myself the delightful indulgence of her mouth against mine. Almost unconsciously, she swiftly locked her arms behind my head and pulled me into her passion. I smiled to myself at her predictability, but gently untangled her grip from my body even though every cell in mine was screaming to bring her closer, closer than close, until I could feel that wet warmth from the inside out… But ah, my imagination was running away with me almost as shamelessly as hers was. With a plea of “Please… behave...” said softly against the softer skin of her face, I gave her one more brief kiss before crossing her arms against her torso gently.
    I could literally hear her heart pounding in her chest, and, unbidden, memories of her sweet blood flooding my mouth that made my mouth fill with venom in anticipation. But all it took was one look at her face as she brought her hand up to her heart and felt for herself how wildly it was thrumming.

    To read Edward's fascination for Bella is just so gratifying. Thank you so much for doing this snap. I really don't know how I'm gonna get through the break-up scene without sobbing.
  • The Popper
    well... snap is the best...
  • TheHoneyBear
    What's it about?
    And have you read Wide Awake?
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    It's New Moon from Edward's perspective. Amazing. I've yet to get into other fan fics for fear of slamming my head against my monitor of irritation and/or boredom. But I have heard of that one, many times actually. I'll look it up after this.

    I like how your avis are different but not drastically so. It's always a close-up of Kristen during her red-hair days. Awesome.
  • TheHoneyBear
    Actually, I haven't read Wide Awake. Because I have a fear that if I read it, I would be SO distracted and get addicted to it. And I won't be able to do my own work. And I would be less social than before because I would be stuck in my room, holed up, reading Wide Awake. So I'm saving that.

    Oh and thanks for the compliment! I just really miss Kristen's long hair :(
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    OK, now I have to do it...

    <Jessica>I know RIGHT!</Jessica>

    Especially in that Vanity Fair shoot. Her hair was super awesome in that shoot. I hope when she plays vampire Bella, they give her that diva hair LMAO.

    And I'm with you on being addicted to fan fics and being more holed up in my room than I already am. I literally spend my entire weekends on this board already. It's so lame. I'm such a loser. Jeez.
  • The Popper
    what!??!... u are not!
  • NTJB-TeamNOtoMRforBD!
    It's OK. I accept being a loser lol.
  • The Popper
    lol... thats horrible... shut up!
  • TheHoneyBear
    This looks... sane. (Considering ALL the other ridiculous products they're selling.)

  • just_hyper (JB)
    huh...it is pretty cool!
  • scaredtoadmit
    Ok so this is off the par here and people have probably already discussed this topic buut is anyone pissed off by the fact that they are changing the character for Victoria in the future films.... i think its kinda lameo.... changing the cast looses its affect for me... i like following the journey.....
  • I just really think that Ashley is so adorable and sweet, not to mention have you seen her hair it’s gorgeous. I love how this cast is so close and friendly with each other.
    *tilts head and smiles at new post*
  • I would totally accept whomever you choose to date Ashley :) (as long as it's Jackson :))

    lol
  • Justine [TEAMNOVEMBER18th]
    I do love the " [click to continue... ] .. it's like you don't know what you're going to find, and then you're like "WAOUH" or "WOOOOO" or "WTF?!!" or just "!!!" .. it's a great feeling x)

    She looks so beautiful :)
  • TheHoneyBear
    For a moment, I thought you said, "[lick to continue... ]".

    LOL.
  • Justine [TEAMNOVEMBER18th]
    LMAO !

    I'm not a pervert ! XD (not that much... :P ! x) )

  • TheHoneyBear
    No, I'M the pervert.

    I have too much innuendos in my mind.
  • Justine [TEAMNOVEMBER18th]
    Lol !

    Don't worry, I guess it's the same for everyone ! It happens a lot for me (I just keep them to myself.. some of them are... a little TOO much.. you know x) )

    Were you a "pervert" when you saw all the new Rob's pictures ? ;) ^^
  • TheHoneyBear
    Heard there was a New Moon/Bella reference on Vampire Diaries?
  • TheHoneyBear
  • good job!! =) *claps loudly*
  • IsabellasLoveRob -TeamNovember

  • Moni (TeamLegHitch) & Proud!

  • robfan1st
    She musttttttt date Jackson! I have to see them as a couple in real life, and I'm not really even much of a Jasper/Alice fan, but I just wanna see that happen!
  • They all talk about Rob like they REALLY know him and beeing his friend is such a casual thing...and they seem so happy to be able to say stuff about him but they act so casual about it...All of them, except Kristen
  • iceandfire
    LOVE ASHLEY!!! Oh and I'm sure she does adore Jackson!! Uhuhm... I need them to be together...
  • Nay (Team Up Against The Wall)
    Okay Ashley just tweeted an hour ago that she dyed her hair red. She said good thing she wears a wig at work.
