Olympic Australian Ice Dancer a Twilight fan?

This is a total stretch, but the Australian Ice Dancer Cheltzie Lee is dancing tonight to Muse. Well technically, it's the Michael Buble version of "Feeling Good". And yes technically it's a song from a musical, and was written in 1965. And Muse is not the first band to cover it. But to me, it's a Muse song, and they do it the best! So yes it's a real stretch that this song means anything Twilight related, but since Muse and Twilight are so connected to me, hearing this song just makes me assume that Cheltzie Lee is a fan as well.

And Thankfully my husband loves Twilight and Muse with me, because as we were watching tonight, he yells at me to come listen to her song choice, because he already caught that it was both VSQ and Muse

This is the musical form of the song by Michael Buble


This is the 2009 version of her short program. She is dancing tonight on the Olympics to the same song, and I believe using the same program


Do you hear it too? Is it the same song? I know you can like Muse and not like Twilight, but Miss Cheltzie Lee of Australia IS 16 years old, so I can only assume! Have to say, it was a great program. This young lady only found out a few days ago that she was EVEN GOING to the Olympics, finding out less than 2 weeks ago.

On a side note, she scored a 52.16 score tonight for the short program, a personal best for her, so congrats girl!

Her coach Kylie Fennell said a Michael Buble instrumental, Feeling Good, would accompany Lee's short routine, in which she needs a top-24 finish out of 30 girls to continue.

Vampire Obsessions documented through the years

To Twifans goes the credit for first posting this article from Slatebut it's a pretty good point- we keep hearing in the media that Twilight has sparked the Vampire obsession, but this really isnt the case, even though Twihards would love to believe this is true. Slate compiled a pretty exhaustive guide to the Vampire craze for the last 50 years

You could be forgiven for thinking we're in the midst of an unprecedented madness for vampires. "True Blood Season Premiere Looking to Capitalize Off of Vampire Craze," headlined the Associated Press in June. "CW joins vampire trend with 'Diaries'," announced the Philadelphia Inquirer last week. The Hartford Courant asks, "Why Vampires Now?"

A better question might be, why vampires ever? Looking back, it's hard to think of a period when we weren't in the middle of a vampire craze. In the late 1970s, Anne Rice started raking in the money with Interview With the Vampire, and movies like Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre and the comedy Love at First Bite were critical hits. Then came The Lost Boys, Near Dark, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Innocent Blood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie), four more Anne Rice books, and Interview With the Vampire (the movie)—which could all be lumped into a rage for vampires that lasted clear through from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Vampires were back again in the mid-1990s, with Buffy (the TV show), the Blade movies, Southern Vampire Mysteries (the book series), and From Dusk Till Dawn. And now we've arrived at the highly touted mid- to late-2000s vogue of Underworld, Twilight (books and movies), True Blood (based on Southern Vampire Mysteries), and The Vampire Diaries.

They go on to detail how the real periods of time that should be evaluated are more so when we are in Vampire famine

How did they document this?

To figure out whether there really have been any vampire-free periods, we dug through online compendiums, from Wikipedia to obsessive fan sites like the Vampire Library, and compiled a list of the most important vampire-related books, films, and TV shows of the last half-century. In total, we included 169 movies, 106 books, and 62 seasons' worth of TV.

It turns out there were indeed a few periods—four, to be precise—where the vampire genre seemed to hit a mini-recession. Here's a rundown of each dry spell and the vampire works that brought the genre back from the dead.

The First Half, beginning in the 1960's showing the first real drought. I LOVE that they throw in the Count!


Part Two, beginning with Lost Boys!

Lyrics to Death Cab For Cutie, Meet Me On the Equinox

Twifans posted Lyrics to the brand new New Moon Soundtrack song, Meet Me On The Equinox

Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
When the sun is perched on its highest peak
In the middle of the day
Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh darling understand that everything ends

Meet me on your best behavior
Or meet me at your worst
For there will be no stone unturned
Or bubble left to burst
Let me lay beside you darling
Let me be your man
And let our bodies intertwine
But always understand that everything ends

A window
An open tomb
The sun crawls across your bedroom
A halo
A waning moon
Your last breath moving through you as everything ends

Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
When the sun is perched on its highest peak
In the middle of the day
Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh darling understand that everything ends
Thanks to TwilightQuebec

Kellan and Annalynne at Dinner

Well, well, well! I thought these two were no longer an "item". Or so the majority of blogs/magazines would have you believe.

This was taken at the birthday dinner of Noemie Lenoir, a model and actress. None of the sources report that this is Annalynne but its certainly not the birthday girl Ms. Lenoir!


Pictures brought to you by KellanLutzOnline. See the rest here


Edited to add that Kellan and Annalynne were seated in the same row at a fashion show during Fashion Week in New York on Sept 11th 2009, 2 days prior to this picture. Maybe there was a kiss and makeup session? HOW did I not read about this till now? They were both at FW, then a birthday dinner two days later for a model!?


Again credit to Kellanlutzonline for these pics

Happy Birthday Isabella Marie Swan Cullen!

Although you are a fictional character, and are also not Kristen Stewart despite the picture I have posted above, I'd like, well love, to wish you a Happy Birthday Mrs Isabella Marie Swan Cullen. Yeah yeah, I know, just Bella.


You were born September 13, 1987 and despite the fact you are immortal and also frozen at 18 (you were SO close to 19!), Happy Would Have Been 22nd Birthday.


Wrap your arms around that husband of yours



and kiss that precious little girl, enjoy the rocking party Alice is going to throw you, win the arm wrestling match Emmett will propose as he always does on your birthday, thank Rosalie for the lessons on changing your oil, enjoy Jasper making you the happiest person by messing with your already ecstatic emotions and thank Carlisle for starting this entire family. Hug Esme just because she's cute. OH and forgive Jasper for that one bad year... maybe the cake just smelled too good for him and he thought you weren't going to give him a piece?


I love this from TwilightGuide.com

Twicon confirmed for Vegas in 2010

TwiCon Las Vegas 2010, July 29-August 1, 2010, Planet Hollywood Resort



However the event will change from totally Twilight based to an overall Vampire type convention. The staff also had this to say:

So, we want everyone to know we are listening! Have a great idea for a program or breakout session now that we have all new offerings included True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Black Dagger Brotherhood and more? Feel free to share those ideas here!



We'll be looking to book actors that aren't going to the Creation events. But to answer your question, yes, we are still going to have Twilight actors!

Honestly I was PUMPED to go to Twicon again this coming year, now not so much. I dont want to focus on Vampire culture, I want to talk TWILIGHT. And I want to see actors. So I'll probably be heading to a Creation convention

Mitch Hansen band debuted on MTV

I guess I'm a little slow (and also didnt realize MTV even plays music anymore), but apparently the Mitch Hansen band had a video finally FINALLY debut on MTV and I couldn't be more excited for them!




MTV even did an article about them vying for a spot on the New Moon soundtrack.

FORKS, Washington — He's arguably the most talented and popular of a collection of musicians who compose songs about Stephenie Meyer's vivid "Twilight" universe. Yet, if you've only seen the "Twilight" movie, you may not be aware of Mitch Hansen. He's hoping all that will soon change.

"It's called 'By You,' " the affable frontman of the Mitch Hansen Band told MTV News of his latest song and video, which he's premiering with us and hoping to get onto the upcoming "New Moon" soundtrack. "It's essentially from Bella's perspective, and it's kind of a very edgy rock-type song. It's about 'New Moon' through her eyes, all that pain she felt. Then at the end it resolves — in a more happy place, I should say. It's a very emotional song."

Although "Twilight"-themed bands like the Bella Cullen Project, the Twilight Music Girls and the Mitch Hansen Band have become enormously popular with the fanbase since the saga's pop-culture explosion — and improved dramatically as musicians while playing songs to ever-increasing crowds — the folks behind the "Twilight" movies have continued to largely ignore them. As impressive as arena-rockers like Paramore, Linkin Park and Thom Yorke may be, a vocal segment of the fanbase is hoping Summit will finally give a big break to a Twi-band and incorporate a song with lyrics about the tale of Edward and Bella into "New Moon."

To see the video now though, watch here! Notice some of the clips are from Twicon!!
