According to ABC News, the role of songwriter Jeff Buckley in an upcoming biopic about his tragically short life is down to two actors: Robert Pattinson and James Franco.

Jeff Buckley, son of musician Tim Buckley, got popular in the ’90s playing cover songs in the East Village before focusing on his own material. In 1997, Jeff accidentally drowned in Memphis at the age of 30. Since he only had one studio album, several songs were released posthumously, including his cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which earned him chart success over a decade after his death.

There’s a new gallery of photos from New Moon big hubba vampire Kellan Lutz, including some peculiar preppy-chic shots. Not sure if I like the hipster glasses on Kellan–but the new photos are still great.

Check out this hilarious video of the panel at Chelsea Lately discussing Robert Pattinson. It seems the gals are a bit at a loss for words, but the bald fellow at the end is spot on with the heartfelt and hilarious commentary!

According to a reader, the New Moon trailer that was first shown at the MTV Movie Awards may begin showing up in theaters on Friday with, at the very least, Sandra Bullock’s new film The Proposal, as it was shown at a sneak preview of the film last night–

I just thought I’d let you know, because there has been a lot of speculation as to when they would start putting out the trailer for New Moon…I SAW IT TONIGHT AT THE THEATRE. It was AWESOME! I went to see the sneak peak of The Proposal (which by the way is a hilarious movie, go see it) and it was the first movie trailer. I about freaked when they showed the shoreline, I knew exactly what it was! It was the same as the “sneak” we saw during the MTV Movie Awards, but seriously it was 100% better to see it in the theatre.

Some of you have already noticed the New Moon poster showing up in theaters, as well–as shown in this shot that another reader sent in.

With the HBO Southern gothic vampire series True Blood starting its new season tonight, Interview magazine recently caught up with the stars of True Blood to ask what they thought of the Twilight vamps–

Can the vampire universes of True Blood and Twilight peacefully coexist?

I don’t know…I think maybe the True Blood vampires would be jealous of the Twilight vampires for being so sparkly and shiny in the sun…they are the supermodels of the vampire world…and I think that we have all seen that supermodels and humans have difficulties with peaceful coexistence…a la the Naomi episodes.

What would a rumble between the two casts look like?

I think it would a little like the rumble in West Side story…with lots of hair product and fancy dance numbers and lots of hot men! And Yes I think the True Blood Vampires would definately crush the sparkly Twilight Vamps, without question.

[thanks, everyone!]
