New Moon author Stephenie Meyer’s website has been updated with the following information–

It has been a while since the last time I posted anything—I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to bring your attention to a couple of things.

First, in case you didn’t see it, New Moon: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion is already available for pre-order (even though the cover art has not been released). For those of you who haven’t seen the Twilight Companion, it is filled with high-quality images and behind-the-scenes information. Please note that Stephenie does not write these books, but I really enjoyed the first one.

Also, Random House (the company who produces the Twilight audiobooks) is hosting another contest through their subsidiary suvudu.com. They will be giving away the entire Twilight series on audio books (you must be a resident of the United States and 18 years of age or older to enter). Please note that this contest is not at all affiliated with StephenieMeyer.com, although I do enjoy listening to the audio books.

Good luck!

New Moon wolf hunk Taylor Lautner was at a Los Agneles Dodgers baseball game last night in the front row. Radar Online has the full report and says–

Jamie Campbell Power, who will play Caius of the Italian Volturi vampire sect in New Moon, was seen at the London premiere of Public Enemies yesterday.

Public Enemies is the true-life tale of Great Depression era crime and the birth of the FBI. It stars Christian Bale and Johnny Depp, the latter of whom previously worked alongside Jamie Bower in Sweeney Todd.

Check out more pics at SocialiteLife.

There is also a video interview at Digital Spy, where Bower noted that–

“Rob’s genuinely just a normal guy. It was weird being around it all because we couldn’t go out to dinner because there would be 40 paparazzi and screaming girls waiting for Rob,” he explained.

He added that [New Moon] “looked awesome” and praised director Chris Weitz for doing “a really fantastic job”.

New Moon star Robert Pattinson was on the set of his new film Remember Me this morning in a park in New York lounging on what looks like the Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park.

Check out all the rest of the pics at Celebrity-Gossip.

Ashley recently talked to E! about the possibility of real-life relationships behind the onscreen romances of Twilight–

Why do you think fans either need Rob and Kristen or you and Jackson to be together, or need you to be apart?

I think maybe part of it is the fans see that relationship onscreen and want it to be real, which is great for all of us to hear because at least we’re doing a good job portraying the fact that we’re absolutely enamored with each other. And of course, there’s real chemistry there. On the other extreme, it’s usually because they really just don’t like one of us!

 

New Moon star Robert Pattinson is still in New York filming his new movie Remember Me, and lucky us there are some great new pics coming out from his activity today.

Of the new pictures over at Lion & Lamb Love, most noatable are the one above of Rob giving a grin in a brown button up shirt while leaving his trailer and the picture shown after the break where he shows off the tiniest bit of skin and the waistband of his undies.

Multi-talented New Moon star Robert Pattinson was caught on camera holding a guitar on a New York roof for his new film Remember Me. He appears to be shooting a scene where he’s playing the guitar while a male co-star works out on free weights.

Check out more pics of Rob on the guitar at RobertPattinsonWho. There are additional shots at Celebrity-Gossip.

New Moon megastar Robert Pattinson continues to take a beating on the set of his new film Remember Me, he was seen with cuts and bruises on his face again today, though not looking as gruesome as he had before.

SocialiteLife has all the pics of Rob with the scary makeup on. Popsugar has a few more. Also, X17 has this video of Rob filming in Central Park yesterday

Celebuzz chats with New Moon civilian Michael Welch, and he says people will be really impressed with the Volturi scenes in Italy–

When we asked what part of New Moon will surprise fans the most, he said that the biggest shocker, hands-down, will be the scenes with the Volturi in Italy. “Chris Weitz is one of the best directors out there…visually just really knows what to do with the camera, so I think Italy is going to look amazing,” Welch offered.

There is also this new video interview that Mike did with Reelzchannel

New Moon hunk Kellan Lutz will be hosting a special event on July 4th in Watermill, NY for Social Life Magazine. It’s a sneak preview of the July issue of the magazine for which Kellan is the cover boy.

The fancy-sounding event will take place at the Social Life Estate from 7pm to 10pm on Independence day–I’ll be knee deep in fireworks, hot dogs and adult beverages at my own party by then I hope!

New Moon hunk Kelllan Lutz has a new photoshoot for Social Life Magazine, for which he’ll be hosting a July 4th Party. OK Magazine has a new interview with Kellan along with some new pics from the shoot–

What is your typical day like on the set of New Moon, the sequel to Twilight?

New Moon was a very relaxed film to work on and it all starts with how easy going director Chris Wietz is. That vibe rolls down to the crew and actors. It makes it so easy when we’ve all worked together before. Everything was so well organized, making it easy for the actors to do our job. We had more time to just laugh and make jokes and hang out; it’s important to have a cast that gels the way we do and you’ll see that more in the second film.

The entire cast of Twilight and New Moon has gone from Hollywood new faces to overnight international sensations – has that been a bonding experience for all of you?

It’s amazing what Twilight has done for the cast! It has opened up so many doors for us all. It is such a blessing to be a part of the phenomenon that is Twilight. It’s a dream come true! We are all very close and stay close on set as well as off. We play board games, go out to dinner and just hang out. It’s amazing to be able to work with such a talented group of actors.

Here are some new pics of New Moon stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who are currently working on the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways together after a stint on New Moon. Also, here’s a pic of the whole gang getting into a car!

I have it on good word from a couple of tips sent from people on-set that the duo of Kristen and Dakota have filmed an intense lesbian makeout scene for the movie. Just wait till the mainstream press gets their claws on that one!

Check out the rest of the pics or Kristen and Dakota at SocialiteLife. There are also some pics at LaineyGossip.

Here are some new pics of New Moon bad vamp Rachelle LeFevre with two handsome men–Jamie Thomas King and an adorable puppy.

According to Ashley Greene, Breaking Dawn will be filming soon after Eclipse–

“We’re going to start right after Eclipse,” says Ash.

So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?

“I don’t think so,” says Ms. Greene. “[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet.”

Kiowa Gordon, who will play Embry Call in New Moon, has a new interview with Indian Country Today from his first major public appearance–a graduation–since he filmed the wolfpack scenes. He reveals–
