* Last day is the Meadow



Attached – thanks to fans who waited to see Robert Pattinson after his birthday dinner the
other night at Glowbal for sending their photos. As you can see, Kristen Stewart was ripped.
Love it.

And Ashley Greene left Vancouver yesterday. Here she is at the airport. THAT is a pretty,
pretty girl. She looks like a doll.

Today is Pattinson’s final day on the set of New Moon barring any crazy cataclysmic setback.
They’ve had to postpone these scenes due to weather, now must rush him through the
shoot to get him out on schedule. It’s supposed to be a beautiful day in Vancouver today.
Which is perfect because – get ready for it Twi-hards – today they are shooting in the Meadow.

It’s a dreamy sequence. In the Meadow, Bella sees herself get old, looks like her grandma.
And Edward wishes grandma happy birthday. Then they’re young together and lying in the
field and looking at each other and it’s pretty.

* Nikki Reed: Spending Time with Sage



Enjoying some time away from the “New Moon” set, Nikki Reed was spotted out and
about in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (May 14).

The “Twilight” hottie headed over to Sammy’s Camera Store to pick up a new camera,
looking cute in a navy blue cardigan overtop a white shirt with relaxed fit jeans and sandals.

From there, Nikki made a brief stop at home before picking up her gal pal Sage Dill and
heading over to a nearby Starbucks Coffeehouse for a pick-me-up.

The day before, Miss Reed and Miss Dill were spotted hitting up a yoga class at a Los
Angeles studio, laughing and chatting all the while.

* Ashley Greene: Back in LA



She’s been plugging away on the “New Moon” set in Vancouver, Canada as of late, but
yesterday (May 14) Ashley Greene was spotted arriving back in Los Angeles.

The “Twilight” hottie passed the time by texting on her mobile phone as she waited for her
luggage to come out at the baggage claim, looking cute in a black t-shirt, slim fit jeans, and
beige UGG boots.

The day before, Miss Greene helped her costar Robert Pattinson celebrate his 23rd birthday
with a night on the town in Vancouver.

Joined by fellow Twilight-ers Kristen Stewart and Jamie Campbell Bower, they hit up the
Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar where they sipped champagne and feasted on Kobe beef
meatballs, lamb, steak, salad, and roasted vegetables. An eyewitness told press, “Everyone
enjoyed a hearty meal and had a good appetite.”

Enjoy the pictures of Ashley Greene making her way through LAX Airport (May 14).

* Native American Twilight Lore and New Moon Quileute Legends



Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga has introduced a deep historical layer of Native American
history into her popular series of Twilight novels by delicately mixing fact and fiction. Native
American lore has long been a source of interest for anthropologists and historians who have
dedicated scores of books to the stories of different tribes that include everything from
creation stories to the changes in weather and placement of the sun and moon. Twilight
brought parts of the La Push legends of the Quileute tribe to a mass audience. La Push itself
is a real location and the home of the Quileute tribe in northern Washington State. The
characters of Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner, and his father Billy are members of the
tribe as well as a much bigger secret that has been well hidden for years. In the Twilight
sequel New Moon, Stephanie Meyer allows her characters to tell their own stories concerning
the legends, especially Jacob since he is an integral focal point in Meyer’s layers of Native
American history.

Although the story of vampire versus werewolf is nothing new, the conflict raises a compelling
question. Why choose that particular duel? Meyer herself has stated that the Twilight Saga is
a completely fictional story from the vampire clans to the werewolf pack. The only part that
was borrowed from real Quileute legend was the lore that the tribe was descended from
wolves able to convert themselves into humans. Like the allure of the vampire, the werewolf
story is far from defined. There are basic guidelines, for example, that reveal how the Twilight
werewolves can change on a full moon or that a silver bullet similar to their vampire
counterparts can kill them. In weaving her own creative Twilight tapestry while using both
convention and her own originality, Stephenie Meyer has given Twilight Saga readers and
New Moon fans an ultimate battle, pitting one supernatural creature against another, both
with their own strengths and weaknesses.

History and the Werewolf

Although the Quileute tribe is said to be descended from wolves, there are a variety of Native
North American tribes that have similar folklore in their rich lineage. The Navajo tribe (also
known as the Navajo nation), the largest tribe in the United States, has a legend that is
almost akin to the werewolf clan in the Twilight Saga. The Navajo version of the werewolf
originates from the “Skinwalker” who actually attains the power to shape-shift. But in order to
acquire the “evil” abilities of these shape-shifters, tribe members, as the legend goes, must kill
a family member. On the other hand, the Quileute legend is much less gruesome as a
Skinwalker is said to have encountered a wolf and then transformed it into a human being,
thus the legend’s origins.

In relation to Twilight and New Moon, Stephanie Meyer takes it one step further by
explaining in great detail how Jacob and the rest of the werewolf clan actually transform from
human to werewolf from the angle of inner turmoil and the experience of the transformation.
In New Moon, the transformation of Jacob Black is filled with questions surrounding mental
pain and how the change is also linked to self-control. What’s different about how the legend
and lore play out in New Moon with regard to the actual transformation, as compared to
other werewolf based stories and films, is that it goes well beyond the visual transformation
to a intriguing human level of emotion.

The Vulnerable Warriors

Although werewolves have long been looked at as villainous monsters , Meyer’s Twilight Saga
exposes the emotional vulnerability of the creatures. Since the Twilight novels are deeply
romantic in nature, what works so effectively for the Saga and New Moon is that the fear and
intimidation associated with its “monsters” gets stripped away to large degree by pitting
vampire against a werewolf for the love of a girl. And making Bella Swan human is all the more
appealing since it taps into the timeless classical elements of the “forbidden” love story.

Twilight actors Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner already bring their striking physical appeal
and charismatic charm to the Twilight films. Although Pattinson joined New Moon in relatively
the same shape as Twilight, Lautner had more to prove for New Moon since he worked
tirelessly to add 30 pounds of muscle to his frame in order to meet the physical requirements
that Jacob Black endures in New Moon. Interestingly, both Jacob and Edward are not the
typical, bloodthirsty monsters that they could have been portrayed as in similar stories.
Instead they both fight their true non-human natures, rebelling against them with Bella’s
help. Edward is eternally beautiful and elegant but deadly. Jacob is strikingly handsome but
vicious. Their conflict is much more internal than solely overtly physical, which adds involving
and relatable layers to the Twilight Saga.

Facts, Fiction, Legends and the Twilight Future

There’s no doubt that the Twilight Saga has generated an incredible, even phenomenal,
amount of interest among fans, but it has also cast a huge spotlight on Native American
culture and the origins of the Quileute legends. Unlike so many characters that are as fictional
as the storylines surrounding them, Native American lore, whether from the Quileute tribe or
others, is still being passed down through new generations while still being recorded by
anthropologists and historians eager to preserve the various versions of similar stories. After all,
the United States and Canada didn’t exist first, but the legends were alive well before
borders were drawn on a map.

In Vancouver, British Columbia where New Moon is almost about to wrap up production, the
Haida tribe off the B.C. coast in the Queen Charlotte Islands also have their own legends of
shape-shifting, which center around bears instead of wolves. Interestingly, legends about
shape-shifting humans are also similar to vampire lore throughout the ages and the ability of
various bloodsuckers to change and transform. Still, Stephanie Meyer conceived two lead male
characters, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, as surreal heroes while tapping into similar stories
and legends of the past to create a fresh new stage to showcase their supernatural abilities.

New Moon shifts the visible focus away from Edward and Robert Pattinson and directs it to
Jacob and Taylor Lautner who undergoes an emotionally gripping, perhaps startling and
compelling physical transformation. The challenge for director Chris Weitz and the production
crew will be how they manage to create the transformations while maintaining the storyline
from the New Moon novel.

Since Stephenie Meyer has created a new awareness concerning Native American culture,
Twilight and New Moon have turned a bright spotlight on the many rich and deeply intriguing
legends that have existed long before European vampires first settled on the shores of North
America. In relation to New Moon and Native American legend, Jacob and his Quileute wolf
pack have to prey on the facts in order to get the most out of the fiction. New Moon is a
challenging responsibility for Taylor Lautner. If Lautner can execute the internal character
evolution in concert with the physical challenge, Twilight and New Moon fans will get their
money’s worth from the final edit of Jacob Black and his transformation.

* Sometimes Fans Take It Too Far With Robert Pattinson



Gross is an understatement for this one!

Robert Pattinson has some crazy fans... and when I say crazy, I mean crazy. The 'Twilight'
actor who is known around the world for playing Edward Cullen, admits he was appalled when
several female fans approached him with bleeding cuts on their necks.

“One time there were these four girls - in Chicago I think - and they had all scratched their
necks until they bled, and then when they came up to me they had these bleeding scabs. It
was gross.”

* Rob’s Italian Double Chosen



Twilighters Italia have discovered that Rob’s body double for the Italian shoot has now
been chosen. Alan Cappelli (an actor currently appearing on regular Italian TV commercials)
has been chosen for the job.

There is also quite a bit of other news coming from the set in Montepulciano. It’s now
thought that the number of walk on-actors to appear in the square scene has been
increased from 500 to 1500 and Twilighters Italia have informed us that one of their staff
has actually been chosen as a walk-on actor for the film!

* Fan's tattoo of Robert Pattinson's signature a little too far?



Robert Pattinson, star of Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, How To Be, and Little
Ashes, has developed an enormous fan-base the world over for his work, his good looks,
and his charming candor.

Notoriously, his fans thirst for (pun intended) as much information about the beau at any
given time as possible. For instance, photographs are circling the net as we speak of Pattinson
going to and fro between Los Angeles and Vancouver whilst speculation about his potential
up-coming flicks such as Bel-Ami surface as a result of an interview he did overseas. Most
recently, photographs of Pattinson leaving director Peter Berg's house have come to the
fore, causing quite the stir as to whether he might be pursuing a project with the Lions for
Lambs and Hancock actor.

Paparazzi swarm him at his every step. His name is in the news every single day, and it seems
that no stone has been left un-turned when it comes to speculation about Pattinson's
love-life, personal interests, and future endeavors. Yet, all this seems trivial when compared
to one fan's devotion to him.

A fan by the name of Stephanie posted this photograph on her Twitter account. It is of her
wrist, tattooed with the signature of Robert Pattinson. While it is not unheard of, or
completely extraordinary to have signatures or insignia tattooed on one's body (I've seen the
likes of Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon autographed into the skin of die-hard fans, and even
the Earth symbol from Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons etched into someone's arm), but
is this taking fandom of Pattinson too far, or is the decision completely ordinary?
