In this in-depth article Vanity Fair sits down with America’s favorite doctor/dad Peter Facinelli, and  breaks down not only the Twilight Saga but also his personal life -

As the patriarch of the Cullen clan, have you assumed a similar fatherly role with the cast?

You know, on Twilight I feel like they looked to me as the father figure, but because we became so close, I’m more of an older brother now.

Has there been a difference in the way you interact as a cast since you filmed Twilight?

Rob[ert Pattinson] has more security guards hanging around him! [Laughs] Other than that, not really. We really enjoy each other’s company, and we’ve been working so much on this movie that we really haven’t had as much time to hang out with each other. We’re putting in these long hours and then just heading home. Usually we just try to catch dinner with each other then get back up the next morning and do it all over again.

You seem pretty dedicated to them, too, judging by your Twitter page.

You know, I love connecting with the fans because I’m a fan of the books myself. They’re all so dedicated and wonderful to me that I love to be able to give back. So if stopping for a picture or signing a book of theirs puts a smile on their face, then that makes me happy, too. I kind of go out of my way to make sure—if there are fans hanging around the set—to try to stop and say hello to them before I get in the van. It takes five minutes to make people happy. I love interacting with them.

Have any of your daughters seen Twilight?

All three of them have seen it! They’re ages twelve, six, and three. They love it. The 12-year-old has read the first two books, so she loves the movie. My 6-year-old loves it even more; she wants to watch it all the time! Now the 3-year-old, because the 6 year-old likes it, wants to watch it all the time, too. I asked her what she liked about it and she said, “I like the scary parts.”

Gosh this man is just as genuine as Carlisle himself! I agree he really treats the fans wonderfully.

MTV.com scored a very insightful interview with the hunky beefcake, Kellan Lutz.  Kellan breaks down his take on the 3 films, and the different styles of the directors -

MTV: What do you see as the biggest difference between the tales in the “Twilight” saga?

Kellan Lutz: What’s the biggest difference? That’s an interesting question. Because the books are already about different subjects. Stephenie [Meyer] wrote them with the Romeo and Juliet aspect, and then, each one has a different persona. It’s a really cool concept. But as far as the directors go, each director is different. Catherine [Hardwicke] was very energetic, and she made this beautiful movie. Chris [Weitz] had this really cool, really laid-back [vibe], but has a great sense of how to do CGI and how to make these wolves look real and bigger than life versus just some computerized image. Then David Slade, with his action background and his indie style, just mixed the two. The movies are going to be unique in their own aspects, and that’s what’s really interesting — it’s not the same director doing each one. We, as actors, got to see different styles of [directing]. So it doesn’t feel old, ever.

It could be the little kid across the street directing and it still wouldn’t get old for me! Kellan also dishes on how his favs are the Volturi and that he actually auditioned for the role of Edward.

Looking for a Twilight poem for those days where it’s chilly and wet outside and you need a pick-me-up? Well, it’s cold and rainy in my neck of the woods today…in fact, it’s just like Forks where I am! Yay! Instantly I feel great!
Luckily, I came across the cutest poem ever!

Twilight Oath:
I promise to remember Bella
Each time I carelessly fall down
And I promise to remember Edward
Whenever I’m out of town
I promise to obey traffic laws
For Charlies sake of course
And I promise to remember Jacob
When my heart fills with remorse
I promise to remember Carlisle
When ever I am in the Emergency Room
And I promise to remember Emmett
Every time there’s a huge boom
I promise to to remember Rosalie
Whenever I see something that holds pure beauty
And I promise to remember Alice
When I’m at a mall and a cute outfit spots me
I promise to remember Renesmee
When I see that beautiful bronze hair.
And I promise to remember Esme
When someone tells me they care
I promise to remember Jasper
Whenever my stomach isn’t curled
And I promise to remember the Volturi
When someone speaks of dominating the world
Yes I promise to love Twilight
Wherever I may go
So that all may see my obsession
Because I know what the Twilighters know.

*Sigh* November needs to hurry up already, patience is not a virtue when it pertains to our beloved New Moon.  Does anyone have any short poems or limericks you’ve written about the saga? Or am I the only one that suffers from extreme obsessive Cullen disorder?

Kellan Lutz , Ashley greene, Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed of the New Moon cast have a new interview with MTV where they reveal what they keep in their cast trailers while they are filming. Some of the items may seem a little….odd but mostly it sounds like stuff that makes them feel at home.

Juiciest bit? Nikki and Elizabeth and their cashew battle!

In order to help pass the time while we wait for New Moon to be released, today marks the start of a brand new feature: the New Moon Community Re-Read.

Every day, we’ll post a thread for each chapter in the book, counting down the days until the official release of the film on November 20th.

To get started, dig out your old copy of New Moon (or buy one of the swank new movie editions of the book), read the chapter together with us, and discuss anything you find of interest that you might have missed the first time around.

Here are some possible topics:

• What is your favorite quote from this chapter of the book? Do you hope to see it word-for-word in the movie?
• What detail or scene are you most hoping to see from this chapter in the movie, and why would you be mad if they left it out?
• What part of this chapter is just filler and you could you live without seeing on the big screen?

[thanks for the idea, Cjean!]
