The Jonas Brothers, who admitted to having never seen Twilight despite buzz they might contribute a track to New Moon, have high praise for the first movie–

“I just recently saw the first one, actually,” Kevin Jonas told Access Hollywood at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on Saturday. “I watched it on the plane and it was really good. I was blown away.”

BuddyTV gives a play-by-play blogging of their thoughts while watching the Twilight DVD. Some of this is HILARIOUS! The whole thing is worth reading, but here are some of the comments towards the beginning of the movie:

KW: Native Americans! Really, really bad wig on Taylor Lautner.

MC: She and Jacob have the same haircut.

OD: “Eww…look at the new girl”

KW: The GAYSIAN!

DC: OMG, I love gaysians.

MC: Why is he wearing a tie??

OD: We know she’s suffering on the inside because she said, “I’m suffering on the inside.”

KW: Is this a Diablo Cody film: “Chilax”?

DC: Um, because he’s gaysian.

MC: This is an absurdly diverse small town high school.

KW: Mike has pretty blue eyes. My favorite character is Jessica.

MC: This girl is on coke, right?

DC: Jessica sounds like she is mildly impaired.

….

DC: What’s with this dialogue?

KW: She’s so abrupt with him.

MC: “You were gone.”

KW: Why is it weird to ask someone about the weather?

MC: This is like conversations I have on the bus with homeless guys.

DC: Cold, wet thing,

MC: HES COLD.

DC: ! And she’s wet!

MC: Like the rain.

4tnz has an interview with the hand model from the cover of Twilight–

That’s right, we met the apple holding hand model at the Twilight DVD release part this past weekend. And she was sweet enough to give us an interview!

Check out the vid below to hear what she has to say about how she got the awesomest job ever, whether she’s on Team Jacob or Edward and whether she’s squeamish about handshakes. Yikes!

A fan visited Forks, WA for some Twilight sightseeing and sent me her exciting tale. It was quite an adventure–despite getting into a car wreck and being saved by locals, just like Bella, talented NMM.org reader WoodenDance got some amazing photographs and wrote quite a trip report to let everyone know what it’s like to visit Forks and La Push. Read on for her report!

Ashley Greene was interviewed by Access Hollywood during the Twilight DVD release event, and the always-kind actress had a few words to share on how much she is enjoying working on New Moon–

“I don’t think really any of us have done sequels before and it’s so cool to bond with someone and become a family,” she said. “I’m just…I can’t even explain how excited I am about ‘New Moon’ coming out.”

Ashley said most of the fans would have one thing on their mind at the midnight party – the guy who made the undead sexy again – Robert Pattinson.

“Rob, Rob,” she said with a laugh when asked what is the first thing Twi-Hards ask about. “Everyone’s like, ‘What is Rob like?’ And, ‘Rob’s fantastic!’ The hair thing is still a big topic of conversation.”

While we’re on the subject of Twilight release madness, here’s a vid from Access Hollywood that shows the cast that visited Kitson–

On its first day of release, the Twilight DVD sold 3 million copies, making it onto the list of the top five selling DVDs of the last two years. MTV has this to say–

“Breaking Dawn” sold 1.3 million copies on just one memorable day. The movie adaptation of “Twilight” had a $70 million opening weekend in November. Now the juggernaut that is Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance franchise has continued its dizzying streak of commercial hits with the film selling more than 3 million DVDs on the first day of its release, according to distributor Summit Entertainment.

In Salt Lake City, 2,500 devotees braved lines, while 2,000 attended in Los Angeles and 700 showed up in New York. Several “Twilight” actors made appearances at the events, including Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale), Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria) and Edi Gathegi (Laurent). Director Catherine Hardwicke held court in Dallas, even though she will not be helming the next film in the series, “New Moon.” Not in attendance, however, were the film’s biggest stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

  If you couldn’t make it to one of the Twilight DVD release events with one of the stars this weekend, pretend you were there with this exclusive video report from NewMoonMovie.org chat masters Walking Disaster and Princess Kris.

After going through all these vids from this weekend–I just have one question….Ashley gave out like a bazillion hugs to fans. Does she have a gallon of Purell from Costco backstage to get hosed down with afterwards? I’m just saying this out of love, and my never-ending-fear of germs, but jeez–I would die from all the TwiSquee all over me from that many strangers!

Also, check out the cool pics from reader CraftyMama at her local release event. She made an amazing Alice costume! She says–

I went dressed as Alice in a dress I made. I even bought a wig! (My hair is blond and just below my shoulders) I won 1st place in the Alice look-a-like contest & 2nd over all.

UPDATE: Also meant to add this awesome vid that Elena sent in from NYC with Edi Gathegi, and for those wondering about Ashley Greene’s earrings, the wonderfully talented bloggers at Letters to Twilight have another account of the evening that might explain them!

Hopefully by now everyone is safely at home with their Twilight DVDs and has a few replays in–I’ve been buddying up with the Blu-Ray edition from Target, and have collected some of the massive coverage from all over the place this weekend.

MTV hangs out with Ashley Greene at Hot Topic

Later, as the Twilighters chanted down the minutes to midnight as if it were New Year’s Eve, Ashley appeared. They went nuts. She ducked inside the Hot Topic, jumped behind the counter, and started greeting the fans as they picked up their DVD. There were lots of hugs, shrieks, and tears of joy – but enough about me.
