In lieu of MTV announcing that not only will Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Launter be attending the MTV Video Music Awards. They’ve decided to make a list of their Top 10 Twilight MTV Moments -
Spunk Ransom Is Born In one of his first interviews for the “Twilight” franchise, MTV News had nearly an hour alone with the soon-to-be A-lister on the set of the film. Among the many questions we brought him was: “What do you think of your nickname RPattz?” He responded in his usual charming, rambling manner, insisting that he wanted a new nickname: Spunk Ransom. The term has stuck, been officially defined, yielded some very cool “Twilight” merch and is reportedly the easiest way to get a smile out of Rob — er, Spunk — if you should ever meet him.
Don’t Count Out Taylor Barely a month after “Twilight” opened at the top of the box office, young Taylor Lautner had become the J.D. Salinger of the series — disappearing from the spotlight and leaving many to wonder whether we’d see him again. Just when the consensus among fans seemed to be that his role would be recast with a more physically impressive actor like Michael Copon, we found Taylor at a tiny red-carpet event. Noticeably larger, he revealed that he’d been working out around-the-clock, was about to meet with “New Moon” director Chris Weitz and vowed to return as Jacob. Finally, “Twilight” Nation could breath a sigh of relief.
Kristen’s Near-Death Experience We all know that Kristen Stewart is a great dramatic actress, but when she said that filming the next film “killed me,” that took it to a whole new level. As KStew’s quotes rocketed around the Web, Twilighters became even more eager to see her “New Moon” performance.

MTV has a cute article giving their guess as to what Twilight would be like if it were made in the 80’s. For all you kids/teens of the 80’s I’m sure you’ll get a great laugh at this post! I know I did!
Twilight director Catherine Harwicke recently revealed that the other candidates to play Edward Cullen were while at Twi Tour in Phoenix -
Jackson Rathbone
Ben Barnes
Shiloh Fernandez
She also stated that she referred to them as Bachelor’s 1, 2, 3, and 4 (that is including Robert Pattinson!). As we all know, Jackson was cast in the movie as Edward’s brother, Jasper Hale.
What do you think? Loaded question I know! We obviously are very happy with Robert as Edward Cullen. Can any of you see Jackson, Ben, or Shiloh as Edward?
Two of the actors from Twilight auditioned for roles in Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s upcoming modernized adaptation of Hamlet. Catherine won’t spill the beans on who, but she notes–
“We’re shooting at the same time as ‘Eclipse,’ ” Hardwicke explained. “So it has to be people with smaller parts [in that film], so that they can sneak over and do ours.”
Hardwicke also added that her Shakesperean stars could be “somebody who’s already been killed [in the 'Twilight' films by 'Eclipse'],” she explained, responding to a question about whether the dearly departed Cam Gigandet could be one of her candidates. “Exactly.
Who are you best guesses for which two Twilight alums will be in her version of Hamlet?
A seat filler at the Teen Choice Awards wrote up an extremely detailed account of her experience at the Teen Choice Awards last night. Among the revelations were a list of things she learned at the Teen Choice Awards–
Robert Pattinson is hilarious. (technically, I already knew that, but I was proven correct)
Nothing impresses Kristen Stewart (except for Robert Pattinson)
Taylor Lautner is bigger and has whiter teeth in person.
Nikki Reed loves Ellen Degeneres
Kellan Lutz is so huge that it’s almost scary
The seat filler, Sara, was also quite impressed with Robert Pattinson last night, of course!–
Catherine wouldn’t keep her hands off of Rob! She always had a hand on him! Either on his chest of his arm or his leg! Ew! Rob would not stop talking! The guy wouldn’t shut up! The only reason I know this is because I was watching him instead of the show. It sounds creepy, but I don’t care. He kept talking and talking and talking! Not only that, he was making jokes! Kristen and Taylor were cracking up at things he said. He laughed with them and, let me tell you, the world becomes a better place every time that man smiles.
Right now she has an Autographed Twilight Soundtrack up for grabs. It has been signed by: Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, Kiowa Gordon, Michael Welch, Christian Serratos, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Reaser, Billy Burke, and Rachelle Lefevre!
It is currently going for $305.00 (US) with over 6 days left of bidding!
The classic Wuthering Heights by badass scribe Emily Bronte is receiving new Twilight Saga influenced covers, mimicing the monochromatic black and white with red flourishes of the iconic Twilight books. Given the spelling of “Favorite” between the two, I’d say the left is the UK version.
