Tonight, Kristen Stewart will be on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Show to promote her new movie Adventureland. Wonder if he’ll ask her any New Moon questions? Tune in to see! [thanks, Linda H!]

People interviewed Nikki Reed, and she talks about how proud she is of Taylor Lautner working so hard to land the role of Jacob Black on the New Moon cast–and how she first heard about him getting the role: while in Africa!

“Everybody knew he was going to have to fight for this,” says Reed, 20, who plays vampire Rosalie Hale. “He was at the gym twice or three times a day. He was on a nutrition and workout regime for the last year not knowing if he would be in this film.”

“We were all on edge,” Reed says about waiting to hear if Lautner had been cast again as Jacob. “It got closer and closer, and it was heartbreaking. Kristen [Stewart] and I were in Africa when we got the call saying he got the part. She’s so stoked.”

I’m starting to get New Moon deja-vu! I thought I had posted this interview already–maybe even in video form around a week ago– as I remember in particular the Africa detail, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’m going New Moon loco! Thanks Chyla T. for calling it to my attention (again?)!

UPDATE: Thanks, Emywoo, for letting me know I’m not going crazy–there is the very similar video interview with Nikki Reed from Access Hollywood.

YouTuber sunnykins has spotted some potential New Moon set activity, with a UVO–unidentified Volvo object–on the side of the road, and some folks painting a shed red–

I have heard from a good source that this property is being rented for the Twilight sequel New Moon….The only people on the set at the moment were set designers painting the shed/barn red. I live in a pretty small town or Port Coquitlam B.C and i’m pretty sure this will be used for the scene’s Jacob and Bella spend fixing up the dirt bikes comment, and pass it around, let me know how much you think they will be filming here? or if you think its going to be used for something else!!! xoxo Sunny

I have to say, I can definitely believe this is real–why else would such a large crew be painting a shed out in the country? And what exactly is that “rubber” UVO? [thanks, Miranda!]

Today, for Wolf Cub Friday, we have a 14-day old Arctic wolf cub. The Wild Spirit Wolf Cub Sanctuary sez–

For the first time in 11 years, we had a birth of pups at the Sanctuary. Sierra, a beautiful arctic wolf from Oregon came to us pregnant in early March and gave birth to five beautiful babies. Two, Frost & Flurry are being socialized while the other three are being raised by Mom and Dad.

I was really surprised by the amount of comments we received on the first set of New Moon Set pictures related to the cast smoking. The Examiner has an article on just that subject, saying–

Rob and Kristen have both been documented smoking before, and it has fans in an uproar. Some say “it’s gross,” and that the film stars, who know that a large part of their audience (for more on the demographics of Twilight fans see here) are teenagers, twenty-somethings and women generally.

Others say that, as they are all adults (for more information about the castmembers, see here), they have every right to make the choice whether or not to smoke, and that people should respect their rights to make that decision.

Though I know smoking is an awful habit, at the same time I think there is some difference between the cast smoking in (relative) private, being documented by paparazzi, and smoking during an interview when they are representing themselves professionally. What do you guys think? Here’s a poll–

If you missed Robert Pattinson in GQ with photos by Nathaniel Goldberg, you didn’t see the best picture of Robert Pattinson yet.

If GQ made a door-size poster of this picture like the ones you can get of sports stars, I think it would be the hottest piece of Twilight Merchandise yet. Anyone with me?

E! News had a “So True, So False” for Twilight last night , and mentioned a few rumors surrounding the Twiverse recently. They also have some Twilight bloopers. So, if you’ve been wondering if Rob is getting naked for a new movie or if he’s dating a Brazilian model, you’ll probably want to check this out.

In addition, TwiCrack found a video that Spunk-Ransom digitzed covering Rob’s appearance in GQ.

MTV has posted a special feature from the Twilight DVD, which is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the hospital scene.

Only a little more than a week till the DVD is released! [thanks, Maddie]

LA Times has an excellent take on today’s news that Juan Antonio Bayona was picked to direct Eclipse–news based primarily on reports from Nikki Finke and Variety. In fact, Summit President of Production Erik Feig tells the LA Times Big Picture Blog–

“The ‘Eclipse’ directing job hasn’t been offered to Juan Antonio or anyone else,” he told me. “We’ve met with three or four talented filmmakers and we’ll be meeting with three or four more other candidates before we make any decision. No one has been offered the job.”

further, it’s not ever certain that Bayona wants the job–

As it turns out, Bayona was in town and had a Wednesday meeting with Summit execs, who are certainly impressed by his resume. Bayona has also met with “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer, who has a lot to say about any key creative choices made on each film in the series. On the other hand, Bayona has told friends that he isn’t sure he wants to tackle the film. Though he also admires the series, he’s concerned about how much creative involvement he would have coming in to direct the third installment in a series, where most of the casting and character development is already in place.

The whole blog post is a good read, and a good lesson on believing any rumor on the web before official confirmation from the parties involved. Summit hires new ‘Twilight’ director, right? Wrong!
