* '90210' Star AnnaLynne McCord Explains Why She Passed On 'New Moon'
'I really just needed a break,' says the avowed 'true-blood 'Twilight' fan.'
Are you ready for a sneak peek at tomorrow's blockbusters today? Check out
our new series "Behind the Screen" Sunday night at 11 p.m. on MTV for the
broadcast premiere of the "Brüno" trailer, an exclusive clip of Brad Pitt in Quentin
Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," the very first visit to the set of Russell
Brand's "Get Him to the Greek" and much more!
Back in February, when the cast of "New Moon" was very much in flux, there
were reports that "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord might be joining the cast.
And at the time she was both very eager to join Robert Pattinson and Kristen
Stewart, and also deep in negotiations.
"We are in negotiations," she said of her talks with "New Moon" filmmaker Chris
Weitz and his team. "It's definitely something I would love to do; as most people
know, I am obsessed with vampires. I'm a true-blood 'Twilight' fan all the
way. ... There's some scheduling conflicts, and we're trying to work that out
now," she explained. "We'll see what happens with it, but hopefully — fingers
crossed — it'll smooth over and we'll be able to work it out."
But cut to May, and McCord will not be appearing in the film. It turns out that in
the process of negotiating a part in the film, she eventually made the decision to
drop out. "There was scheduling conflicts and I really just needed a break," she
told MTV News on Thursday. "I worked two years, I came straight off 'Nip/Tuck'
and on to '90210' and it's wonderful to work, but I needed some R&R."
McCord, who described herself as a "hard-core" fan of the series, said that
although she decided to pass on "New Moon," that doesn't mean she didn't want
to do the film.
"I was [upset] 'cause I really love the film, all of them, the books and everything
and I have a lot of friends on the movies," she said. "But in the end, I got to go
to Europe for two months ... so I can't say that I'm too pissed."

The faux St. Marcus Day Festival in New Moon, which will involve up to 1500 extras, has begun to ramp up. Extras in red garb have started appearing on the streets, as recent pics from TwilightersItalia show. They say–
Each one of them was clad in red. Hoods, robes, t-shirt, caps…everything was red! They couldn’t really say anyhing because the producers have told them that if they were caught they would be expelled from the set and nobody wants to lose the chance to be in the movie.
It’s said that this afternoon there was a little commotion and they think Robert Pattinson was there, but nobody would say that plainly. There are no pictures of him at the airport because he went out through a side exit allowed to the airport staff only.
Today the porsche crew finished working and, from what we understood, tomorrow Robert Pattinson himself will shoot some scene, maybe something related to Edward’s desperation before the Volturi’s verdict.
It won’t be Kristen Stewart to jump in the fountain but her stunt double, an Italian girl. Right now, Alan Cappelli, the stunt double for Robert Pattinson is waiting in his car to be called to set. We don’t know though what scene they’ll shoot.
New Moon wolf star Taylor Lautner returned to Los Angeles and in the LAX airport he gave some wicked funny faces to the paps in order to play along. Check out all the adorable pictures over at Just Jared Jr.
Summit has updated the official Twilight Saga Website to reflect New Moon. The site is pretty sparse right now, but you can now download wallpapers, send e-cards or grab the official New Moon widget.
