Amanda Bell at the Examiner has a great multi-part interview with Jackson Rathbone. She talks about his early days, his band, Twilight and New Moon among other things. I thought this segment was really interesting–
With his wit in mind, I decided to ask Jackson about a concern that some fans, myself included, had about the potential for inconsistencies between his character in Twilight and New Moon. I asked, “In Twilight, Jasper was dancing around the fire while Bella bled out from her James-inflicted wounds, and in New Moon, a little papercut is supposed to send Jasper over the edge. Some fans worry that this inconsistency will de-legitimize some of the scenes in New Moon. How are you and the crew planning to handle this?” Jackson says,
It’s all in the old saying, ‘Location, location, location . . .’ Once you realize the immense animalistic impulses a vampire has, you realize . . . every little thing is more intense. The smell from a vampire-burning bonfire, the adrenaline from the kill, and the exhaustion from the chase . . . basically, in terms of scent, the difference is between a dance studio filled with smells [of] burning and violence, as opposed to the Cullen Family living room, which is filled with the smell of birthday cake. There is no inconsistency, don’t worry.
Check out Part 1 and Part 2 of the Interview! [thanks, Amanda!]

Jackson Rathbone has been spotted filming his episode of Criminal Minds, which the Auseillo Files reported on back in February–
Someone better make room on the crowded Twilight bandwagon, ’cause Criminal Minds is jumping on.
The CBS procedural has tapped Jackson Rathbone — a.k.a. Twilight vamp Jasper Hale — to guest star in an upcoming episode directed by Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander.
Rathbone will play a college student on spring break who may or may not be the target of a serial killer.
His episode is slated to air in April.
I’m not so sure he looks like a “college student on spring break” here–more like a maintenance guy, or handyman?
UPDATE: Donna shares that the episode will be on this Wednesday, April 8th at 9pm on CBS!

Jackson Rathbone’s band 100 Monkeys played last night in Anaheim, CA and reader Scotti shared these great pics from the show. She has this to say–
Jackson actually wasn’t originally even going to be there! i had spoken with the club owner earlier about photos there and he said that.. but he showed up! having just come from Greenland and vancouver!
You can check out the rest of the pics over at Scotti’s photo page, where she’s going to upload 600 (!) pictures eventually.
Two lucky fans met up with the cream of the vamp crop in a Vancouver restaurant recently–
My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to chill with some “vampires” a couple of weeks ago. The guys were very friendly and flirty (especially the guy that plays Emmett) and quite possibly drunk. Seriously cool guys.

Jackson Rathbone’s band, 100 Monkeys, is offering a really sweet poster if you send in $5 plus s/h. The poster shown is from the San Francisco convention, no word if you’ll receive the same one but it’s likely. Check out the details at their MySpace page.
In other news, 100 Monkeys is playing on April 19th at The Rio Theatre in Vancouver, in the very city that New Moon is shooting in. I defintely wouldn’t be surprised if the cast showed up to support Jackson during the show!

Lainey Gossip has another report on the state of the New Moon cast in Vancouver–apparently they’re some of them are headed out of town for a bit now that pre-production is over:
Last night several cast members went out for dinner including Kristen Stewart and of course Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, and Rachelle Lefevre and Edi Gathegi. Robert Pattinson was not with them. In fact, Robert Pattinson has completed his preparation and is not required at work in Vancouver for another several weeks. Vampire vanishes…
Here he is Jackson Rathbone at Vancouver airport taking off today with his new Jasper hair. Very well worn pair of pants, non? Seems like a confident, easy going, not awkward all the time dude. Good.
Also Jackson’s castmates – Ashley Green with whom he arrived at the airport (there’s a teddy bear in her bag) and was seen on a coffee run the other day… is there something going on? Rachelle yesterday morning with all that amazing hair, and Elizabeth Reaser who has some odd footwear options considering it’s only Starbucks.
Kristen Stewart left Vancouver today too. These are photos of her at the airport. She’s on Kimmel tonight. Hopefully more chatty than she was with Letterman.
Check out the whole post at Lainey Gossip. [thanks, TwiCrack!]
My-oh-my, well Hell-oh Jackson! He’s looking mighty fine and all smiles in Vancouver with Ashley Greene. Also spotted: Kellan Lutz and Elizabeth Reaser. Lainey Gossip brings it again–
Am not Team Edward, am not Team Jacob… but am now definitely Team Jasper. Only not when he’s in costume.
Dude, Jackson Rathbone is a sexy ass beast. BEAST!
Anyway, these were from this morning before work.
It looks like Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone arrived in Vancouver last night, both looking quite handsome–totally digging Jackson’s formal/casual black and garnet look! And of course Kellan is as hunky as ever. Check out more info and pics at Lainey Gossip. [thanks, TwiCrack!]
