Did you view the leaked Breaking Dawn Pictures? I won't lie and act like I haven't seen them. A simple hazard of the blogging world is that you are often inundated with emails with links and pictures embedded, often with little warning, other than a "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS 11!!! ELEVENTY1!!11" kind of heading on the email.
I would have seen these picture, even if I hadn't been on twitter that night watching it all go down, pic link by pic link, over a succession of hours, headed towards 1am. It was like Christmas. I won't lie. I just can't. I refuse to watch the video as always, as I maintain belief that pictures do not spoil the movie, but actual visuals, sound and video, even clips given to us by the studio, can spoil it when given in overload (Hello, New Moon anyone? You didn't have to work so hard to get us into the theaters Weitz, we were all going anyways).
So I've seen them. But I don't know that I was prepared for Rob's comments. For the first time, I think I might feel a bit of fan guilt over viewing them, and I rarely do when it comes to Twi leaks. I know I vowed with my fellow BFF/TwiHard that we'd view each and every leak and fan moment this year because it's the last time we can do this experience at all. I'm not passing on days when Twihards can make Twitter fail and the interwebz break. But Rob is quite serious in his anger about this leak. And I mean serious. This is the first time he's really addressed the power of Twilight fans to mobilize and take action. And he surely picked his finest hour to call us all to do something about this.
Does this change your opinion? I feel bad.... but those pictures still made my month. Sorry Rob!!
But on that note, while we can't talk about the Vampire Schmexing in those Breaking Dawn leaks, he can at least address Vampire Sex

Kristen confirmed at Snow White
The Co-Producer and Script writer tweeted that Kristen Stewart is officially Snow White in The Huntsman
Stunt Training at Bella's House
So this video from Vancouver of stunt training came out a few days ago- think it's obvious that this is Edward leaving Bella's room the night before the wedding

Breaking Dawn Surprise at Oscars is announced as Musical Number
I guess we'll get a musical number out of Bill Condon before this is all over. It was just revealed about an hour before show time that the Surprise tonight for Twihards is not the Breaking Dawn trailer or even the logo, but rather a musical number by Hathaway and Franco and sounds like it involves Florence and The Machine.
Seacrest confirmed it on his radio show:
Seacrest confirmed it on his radio show:
Ryan Seacrest "Just talked to one of the Oscar producers, that rumor that we've been hearing about.. I just confirmed a huge Twilight musical moment on tonight's show. They say it's act seven, so I think that's about halfway though the show. If you're a Twilight fan, you'll want to see that in the actual Oscar telecast.

Script Leak for Snow White and The Huntsman... wanna read?
So this has become an item of popular interest since Kristen Stewart was recently discussed as an option to play Snow White. The script quickly lept onto the internet and can be downloaded for free at mediafire
It's 111 pages... My thoughts? Well it's full of spoilers, so if you don't want to read the spoilers on this one, then please close it now. But know that the spoilers are so Twilighty that it makes me giggle.
Well it opens with apples. So of course Twilight fans are already excited. APPLES PEOPLE, APPLES!
The bad? By page 3, it's VERY DISNEY. I mean Disney. The description of Snow White's beauty starts to rival chapter long descriptions of Edward's face alone, but then the animals enter, and they chirp and sing and smile and act all Disney-Animal like...
And our happy sappy heroine washes them. With happy soapy bubbles and giggling
And it's all so simple. Snow White is pretty and natural and her evil StepMother is beautiful, but in a Stepford Wife Housewives of Beverly Hills kind of way. She's even accompanied by three evil BEAUTICIANS. I'm sorry, evil beauticians? Those people work magic and I don't think it's ever evil.
Well ok when you put them side by side, I can kinda see the point.
And it gets more Twilighty. On about page 6 we get wolves. Red Russet colored HUGE wolves. Huge red colored NOT BEARS.
And. Well you might as well guess this one.
THEY SHAPE SHIFT INTO MEN.
Now it starts to turn interesting as we find out the role of the Huntsman in this entire tail. Snow White escapes her evil Stepmother and runs to the woods. The Evil Queen decided long ago that beauty is power and she has been capturing young beautiful women across the land and locking them away. She uses some magical power to drain their beauty into a potion and drinks it to maintain hers . The Huntsman does what you might imagine-- he hunts down beautiful girls.
Snow White reaches the age of 18, and her beauty becomes the FAIREST in the land overnight, so says the mirror. That night the evil queen kills the king, and Snow White escapes into the night, similar to the scene from Narnia and Prince Caspian.
The Huntsman takes the challenge, and hunts down the escaped Snow White. He captures her very quickly, by page 14, so this movie is not fraught with the Huntsman merely looking for Snow White while she giggles and coo's in the woods at birds and bears, I mean Not Bears who might be men.
The Queen states to the Huntsman that his prize is "The WhiteWolf". The White Wolf killed The Huntsman's wife about 10 years prior to our current situation. The Huntsman's wife was the "fairest in the land" at the time. Snow White spills the beans, while shackled and crying, that the White Wolf actually SERVES the evil Queen and the Huntsman, feeling betrayed and used, calls the deal off.
So he yanks Snow White with him, narrowly escaping the guards, and they run to the Dark Woods. No cooing birds in there.
Now we break to Prince Charmant, Snow White's childhood love. He lives in a different kingdom, through the dark woods. He is at the age to marry and is being offered all the beautiful girls in his land, but of COURSE he's bored and none are good enough.
SOMEHOW in the midst of courting a billion hot girls that bore him, he finds out that his precious Snow White, whom he hasn't seen since he was 11, is in trouble and on the run. He mounts a mother fracking WHITE HORSE and goes off to find his love.
Cut back to the dark woods. Snow White and the Huntsman (named Eric) are finding their way through the dark and shadows. The woods play tricks on them. They retire for the night, and we see Snow White develop a spine and personality. She's snarky and funny and tells jokes to pass the night. Sort of, but hey, she's only had birds to talk to her entire life.
She warns Eric of trolls under bridges, and he scoffs. A page later... just go ahead and guess for yourself.
Flash to the past. We discover that The Evil Queen's mother was a witch, who enchanted her to be beautiful "forever" as well as invincible. Her kryptonite is "except one girl". We don't find out who "except one girl" is, as the King sweeps in at that moment to take Young, Newly Beautifully Enchanted, Scared and Vulnerable Sorta Evil but not yet but soon to be Evil Queen.
Back to the woods. Eric promises to teach Snow White how to survive in the woods, starting with self protection and axe chopping/throwing/wielding. Snow White stops him from killing a hungry wolf, and feeds the wolf their food instead. She teaches lessons of "animals aren't all bad". He teaches her to defend herself and how not to be a pansy.
They finally make it through the woods to a village, to find beautiful women in the village have all scarred their faces in an effort to not be kidnapped by the Queen. This is how they survive.
They sleep and we see the Huntsman softening towards Snow White, WHO STILL DOESN'T HAVE A REAL NAME. While they are in the village sleeping, Eric drunkenly tells this story:
EXT. RIVER VILLAGE - THE NEXT MORNING
In the predawn twilight, a BURKA WOMAN scatters seeds for a
brood of chickens in front of her cottage.
Out of nowhere, a HAND snatches the burka away, revealing the
woman’s scarred face. She SCREAMS.
I have to admit, the feministic tones are almost TOO much, as it tries to shove home the idea that this is not your standard Disneyesque fair damsel story, but this line was nice

INT. ANNA’S COTTAGE - THAT NIGHT
Snow White sleeps on a tiny cot. Eric sits beside the bed, a
mug of ale in his hand, a bottle at his feet.

ERIC
(raw, tired)
Once upon a time... there was a
wicked Queen... who had a beautiful
stepdaughter... with lips as red as
blood and skin as white as snow...
With glazed eyes, he whispers a STORY to the sleeping Snow
White, knowing full well that she can’t hear him.
ERIC (CONT’D)
This Queen, she desired above all
else to be the fairest woman in the
land... so she sent her finest
huntsman to kill the girl. But the
huntsman, he was a good man... he
saw how young and innocent the girl
was... and he couldn’t bring
himself to kill her...

ANNA (O.S.)

how it ends.

EXT. RIVER VILLAGE - THE NEXT MORNING
In the predawn twilight, a BURKA WOMAN scatters seeds for a
brood of chickens in front of her cottage.
Out of nowhere, a HAND snatches the burka away, revealing the
woman’s scarred face. She SCREAMS.
Somehow from here we take a staggering turn to introduce The Evil Queen seducing some gross old king who has lots of money in an effort to combine their kingdoms.
And then dwarfs enter the picture, Prince Charmant shows back up to rescue the girl, a big show is made about feminism and that the "damsel does not need rescuing". We figure out the mystery of the White Wolf who transforms into a man.
The dwarfs are actually a little more like those in the Lord of the Rings. They mine in caves, and there are 7 in the end after a battle kills the youngest of the group.
I have to admit, the feministic tones are almost TOO much, as it tries to shove home the idea that this is not your standard Disneyesque fair damsel story, but this line was nice
If you had saved Snow White, she would never have learned to save herself.
A plan is made for Princey Prince, The Huntsman, the badass Dwarves and Snow White (still with no real name despite the plays for obvious equality in this story) to all storm the castle during the Evil Queen's wedding to the old evil King she seduced earlier in the story. The Queen knows they are coming and devises a poisoned apple to feed to our no-name heroine. She transforms into a raven, flies to the Dwarf lands, and hands an apple to Snowy. For some reason, our logical and now well trained heroine, takes the fracking apple and eats it.
Plot holes abound. Is she a strong female or not? Does she need rescuing or not? I'm a little sick of the back and forth. The mood swings are giving me whiplash.
The prince DOES rescue her, somehow putting some magical potion in his mouth, and feeding it to her through a kiss after she's frozen in ice or some shit. It just gets wonky from there. It falls apart faster than a 14 year old girl spying Robert Pattinson across the street.
Suckily, the coolest character with the most depth, the Huntsman, dies in the battle and Sorta Newly Strong Never Named Snow White ends up with Prince Boring and the movie ends.

Kristen Stewart in talks to play Snow White
I'm not sure why I'm so over the moon excited about this possibility, but I really think a darker, more adult version of Snow White could be genius, and I'd love to see KStew in that role. Viggo Mortensen is on to play the Woodsman and we hear Charlize Theron is an option to play the evil Queen.
Other actresses being considered are a commendable group and those girls have already been through a series of screen tests. The top contenders listed are Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. Emily Browning tested this past weekend. Kristen is at a point now where she no longer needs to screen for roles-- she is instead courted by Universal instead of needing to vie for the role.
Interesting that Emily Browning was the original name listed for Bella Swan. Stephenie Meyer herself saw Emily as playing our Ms Swan, so to imagine Kristen stealing another role from Emily is quite ironic.You'll recognize Riley Keough as the granddaughter to Elvis Presley. Riley was in The Runaways with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.
Kaleb Nation did a rendering on Photoshop to give us an estimation of what she might look like. Beautiful no?

Bill Condon explains why he chose the Honeymoon as the first picture to release of Breaking Dawn
I'm sure most of you have seen this, but the first picture released from Summit is a doozy. We get a shot of Edward and Bella.. in bed..in their first night as a married couple.

Bill Condon explains his choice of this photo
Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive first look at The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. The shot, which is only available in Entertainment Weekly's print edition, features Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) as husband and wife…on their wedding night. “It’s one of the most anticipated scenes,” Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon tells EW. “I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. The anticipation is part of it and you want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.”For more information about Breaking Dawn (in theaters Nov. 18), check out this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Twilight names also topping Pet Naming lists
I know we've discussed Twilight topping baby naming lists, but it seems to be taking over pet names as well. I find that to be pretty obvious given that a large number of characters are animals, specifically shape-shifting into wolves. It's not that big of a stretch to name your pet dog after a wolf-life character.
This is our Leah. We figured a Husky was pretty darn close to a wolf
Pretty Wolfy
She's also pretty diva-ish like Leah.

Wyck Godfrey confirms more Breaking Dawn information
A recent interview with Wyck, producer on the Twilight Saga, confirms some info most of us already know, but I'll still tell you that it's spoiler-ish if you are attempting to stay away from any information. The interview does give us some great tidbits since we are all holding our breath in anticipation for the first picture/spoilervideo/trailer/clip/award show awkwardness introducing the newest clip that we'll see this year.
A few points of interest include the questions surrounding how they will show Jacob's POV, the actual birth and sex scenes (the words "not soft porn" are uttered) and the final answer as to whether or not we'll get a dance number out of Bill Condon.
Interview below, SO HERE GOES THE OBLIGATORY SPOILER CAPTION

Interview below, SO HERE GOES THE OBLIGATORY SPOILER CAPTION
From USATODAY
What does the future hold for Bella and Edward in 'Breaking Dawn'?
Torrid honeymoon sex in tropical Brazil.
The most horrifying pregnancy since Rosemary delivered her devil child.
The threat of a vampire massacre on a nuclear scale.
No wonder the film version of Breaking Dawn is coming out in two parts — the first arrives Nov. 18. (The second is due Nov. 16, 2012.)
The wrap-up to the film franchise that began in 2008 and has grossed nearly $1.8 billion worldwide is truly the event-filled mother-of-all Twilight tales, based on the massive fourth volume of Stephenie Meyer's literary phenom.
Even the most rabid Twi-hards have been nervous about how the sometimes graphic 754-page tome would translate on screen as the mixed-marriage spawn of courtly bloodsucker Edward Cullen and beloved human Bella (played by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) leads to friction with the Volturi, who act as vampire royalty, and the werewolf-prone Quileute tribe.
But never fear, says producer Wyck Godfrey.
Speaking from the Baton Rouge set where both installments of Breaking Dawn are shooting simultaneously, Wyck answered some of the Twi-faithful's more pressing questions.
Q: Where does the story split in half?
A: "We basically want to take the audience through the emotional part of Bella's journey as she becomes a vampire. The first part will cover the wedding, the honeymoon and the birth." The film ends just before she embarks on her supernatural transformation.
Q: The book has three segments, two of which present Bella's point of view and a middle that's devoted to the perspective of her rejected werewolf suitor, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). How is that handled?
A: "The story will break from her and follow Jacob throughout the course of the movie as he struggles with his own dilemma. There is a sense that as Bella and the Cullens (Edward's makeshift vampire clan) deal with her pregnancy, the world is still turning outside with Jacob."
Q: Why was Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning filmmaker best known for his musicals as the screenwriter of 2002's Chicagoand the director of 2006's Dreamgirls, selected as the director of the finale?
A: "These films have the most difficult stuff from a performance standpoint. With his history of directing, I can't think of anyone who would be better at bringing out the best in an actor." Plus, the director, who did the 1995 sequel to Candyman, is a fright-fare enthusiast. "He has an appetite for the genre and a passion for the Twilight books and movies."
Q: Considering what goes on during the torturous birth process, how can the rating be PG-13?
A: With Twilight's core of under-18 fans, "it would be a crime against our audience to go R-rated." However, "this is based on a much more mature book. We need to progress and be more sophisticated."
A compromise: Having the bloody, bone-crushing delivery be seen only through Bella's eyes. "She is looking through the haze, experiencing pain and everything rushing around her. We only see what she sees."
Q: How is the long-awaited consummation of Edward and Bella's love portrayed?
A: Even though their physical relationship goes way beyond what was shown in the first three films, "it does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual."
Q: At the end of Breaking Dawn, about 70 or so vampires from around the world gather to face off with the Cullens and their allies plus Jacob's wolf pack. How can you keep both portions of the storytelling equally compelling?
A: "The second half is more of an action film in terms of life-and-death stakes." But the domestic moments of the first film possess an emotional punch. "There are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film. Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was."
Q: Is there any chance that Condon could sneak in a musical number?
A: There might be traditional dancing at the wedding. But don't expect any of the wolf pack to suddenly howl a tune or do a soft-shoe shuffle.
Although, as Godfrey jokes, "We just had a whole line of actors marching toward the camera. We could have them practice a chorus line with vampires doing kicks."
Rob falls in love on Water for Elephants set with unlikely costar
I know this is old news by now (it's been out for at least 3 days) but I really love the fact that Rob was unsure about committing to the role of Jacob in "Water for Elephants" until he met Tai, the elephant he'd be filming next to for months.
For Robert Pattinson, it was the elephant that sealed the deal.
The Twilight star, 24, was on the fence about taking the role of Jacob, a veterinary student who joins a traveling circus in the upcoming Depression-era romantic drama Water for Elephants – until the actor met Tai, his 42-year-old, nearly 9000-lb. costar.
"Rob was non-committal until he saw the elephant," recalls the film's animal coordinator Paul 'Sled' Reynolds. "After he met Tai, he knew he wanted to do this movie. He absolutely adored that elephant."
The adaptation of Sara Gruen's bestselling novel, which arrives in theaters on April 22, tells the story of a love triangle that develops between Jacob, Reese Witherspoon's Marlena, who is the show's bottle-blonde star performer, and her husband August, the circus's abusive ringleader, played by Oscar-winning Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz.
Chemistry Lesson
While it was important to the filmmakers that Pattinson bond with Tai, their chief concern was making sure sparks flew between him and Witherspoon, 34.
"I saw early on that those two had a real on-screen chemistry," the film's director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) tells PEOPLE. "There was just this thing that happens between the two of them when they are together as those two characters that was very exciting."
A Sensitive Guy
Lawrence became convinced that Pattinson could pull off the challenging role of Jacob shortly after a meeting with the British heartthrob to discuss the part.
"When I sat down with Rob, I found that despite his success, there was a real sense of humility with him," says Lawrence. "I found that he was kind of uncomfortable in his own skin, and maybe even uncomfortable with everything that was happening to him. Rob is a very sensitive guy who very much loves animals."
Adds Lawrence, "I found that, wow, this guy kind of already is Jacob."
Carter Burwell, composer on Twilight, MIGHT return to Breaking Dawn!
I don't know about the rest of you, but the score on Twilight seemed to surpass New Moon and Eclipse. So the idea that Carter Burwell, the composer on Twilight, might return to Breaking Dawn is super exciting. Indiewire is the only one so far to report this, so we can't truly confirm it until we hear more from Summit, but they do make a convincing argument.
Coen Brothers and Spike Jonze regular collaborator Carter Burwell is set to return to the ‘Twilight’ since working on the first film to perform scoring duties for the final installment of the series, the two parter “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.”
Burwell has an existing relationship with the director of the final two parts, Bill Condon, having collaborated on “Kinsey” and “Gods And Monsters” and will return to the position after Alexandre Desplat followed him for “New Moon” with Howard Shore stepping in for “Eclipse.” Shooting began this past November with all major cast members such as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Michael Sheen, Anna Kendrick and Ashley Greene reprising their roles. The two parts will be shot as one project and will then be respectively released on November 18th, 2011 and November 16th, 2012. And in case you haven’t do so already, check out Burwell’s score for “True Grit,” it’s ace.
