Say Hello! to Twilight Moonlighter!

Can't get enough smexy Robert Pattinson news? Check out Hello! Magazine's newest blog, Twilight Moonlighter.... which is me, btw...

I'll be updating it a few times a week with a more in-depth look at what Rob's up to, along with the rest of the Twilight Saga and cast!

Here's a teaser of my first post:

Robert Pattinson: Reaching beyond the Twilight saga

In the wake of Robert Pattinson's 23^rd birthday and reprisal of his role as Edward Cullen in New Moon comes a wave of speculation among critics. Has Robert become typecast as a suave romantic lead?

The dreamy-eyed Brit's portrayal of Edward Cullen in teen flick Twilight has roused the libidos of women young and not quite so young around the world. The gasps heard every time he saunters into the cafeteria in his opening scene echo throughout the movie, culminating with his final, anguished kiss with Bella at the prom.

Not one to become caught up in the outpouring of screaming teens, Rob has aligned himself with a variety of roles - a true testament to his desire to submerge himself in the character at hand and not simply a money-making franchise.

Go to Twilight Moonlighter to read the rest!

Twilighters compared To Trekkies

Aha- I KNEW it would happen; I just wondered when and in what media outlet.

The Vancouver Sun, who's had the delight in observing Twilighter pandemonium in their optimum habitat, has finally compared us to *gulp* Trekkies:

"Sharing information and thoughts about something like Twilight creates a feeling of involvement in the process, in this case of filmmaking.

"In recent years the period of adolescence and adolescent cultural interests and styles has extended itself into adulthood. And knowing that so many people share your interest implies permission to pursue those interests even if they seem juvenile, she said.

"Devotion, or obsession, with actors and television shows is not exactly a new phenomenon either, Baxter said. Supermarket tabloids and fan clubs have long traded on obsessive fan interest.

"Even the in the mid-sixties, the fan literature and fanzines for Star Trek were created mainly by women at least as old as the actors in the show," she said. Star Trek fan lit in particular was often explicitly sexual, which might make Spock the first modern pseudo-vampire.

I hate to say that the thought has crossed my mind on several occasions, but really? Are Twilighters the same as Trekkies?

Urban Dictionary: The New Reference Bible for Twilighters

4TNZ mentioned Twilighters were in the Urban Dictionary, but oh. friends. There's so much more. At least the definiton of "pillow biter" is closer to the Twilight version than others that I've seen on-line:

Twilightin' (Note: this is my malady) The state of being so completely consumed by one's obsession with Twilight that one's work suffers, friends are neglected, schoolwork is ignored in the pursuit of one's next Twilight fix. "Is Renea coming to work today?" "I don't think so. She and Abby were up until 2 AM twilightin'.

Twilight Whore any fan of twilight (preferably a girl) who flaunts her love of twilight like a 10 cent hooker.* although reasons for such whore status are unknown, some theories include: ~ to get attention ~ because her friends think its cool ~ because she has no life *not to be confused with a TRUE twilighter. Twilighter One: Ugh that girl has been wearing that Edward shirt for the past two months. Doesn't she shower? Twilighter Two: Oh she's a twilight whore. Her and the others haven't showered since they first saw the movie. Twilighter One: Is that healthy? Twilighter Two: Not at all.

Twilighter A human being who is a fan of Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight Series', consisting of 'Twilight', 'New Moon', 'Eclipse', and 'Breaking Dawn'. Twilighters are usually quite addicted to the series, and would be considered 'obsessed' by some. (Also known as 'Twi-Hards') Example: On the set of the "Twilight" movie, Twilighters have been seen camping out so that they can both see the actors and perhaps sneak onto the set.

And my favorite- the most frustrating:

Twilight teenie Can be related to any other teenie, for example a 'My Chemical Romance Teenie'. Someone who has caught on to the craze of the 'Twilight' novel series by Stephanie Meyer and tries to catch up with the trend, but fails terribly. A Twilight Teenie will most likely read the first three chapters of 'Twilight', will not be bothered to read the rest and will find out what happens in 'Twilight' and the rest of the books by reading what it says on Wikipedia. *Twilight Fan attempting to have a conversation with a Twilight Teenie* Twilight Fan: I wonder what will happen in the next Twilight book...? Twilight Teenie: I know! OMG do you think Edward will have sex with Bella, coz you know he has no blood so he can't get it up... Edward is so HAWT! TF:... Okay, but I've been wonder what will happen to Jacob, if he'll actually go to the wedding or not. TT: Well, duuh he'll go to the wedding, he's Edward vampire brother! TF: Erm... You mean Jasper? Or Emmett? TT: Oh yeah yeah. And Charlie is the werewolf. TF: Erm... No he's Bella's father. TT: Oh that's it right and there's the wierd Italian vampires who, like do stuff to other vampires, like that time they were gonna kill Edward coz Bella was dead. TF: Yeah... Erm, Bella doesn't die... TT: Yeah, yeah, that's right, because Bella is the vampire that can see the future. TF: No... I can't have this conversation with you anymore.
