TEN Gossip

I Finally Have Peter Facinelli’s Autograph!

Posted by taylor blue on August 1, 2009 | No Comments

Look what came to my mailbox the other day…my two autographed pictures of Peter Facinelli! One of them is to Taylor and the other one is in my real name.  I am so happy to see them! They are courtesy @vampirefreak101 who went to see him and Alex Meraz at the London Film and Comic Con on July 19, 2009.

In the spirit of TEN Gossip I asked her to answer ten questions for me. Katie is quite active at going places to meet the cast. Yes, I’m quite jealous of her. Here are her answers to my questions.

1. How many cast members have you met? 9 in total, so far! I’m now determined to meet or at least see, all of them, at conventions, on set, premieres or gigs. I’m keeping a diary of my progress. It’s become a mission.

(Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) twice, Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan), Charlie Bewley (Demetri Volturi), Jamie Campbell-Bower (Caius Volturi), Alex Meraz (werewolf Paul), Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie) twice, Christian Serratos (Angela Webber).)

I have also met New Moon director Chris Weitz, in Italy. and although I wasn’t lucky enough to meet them, i have seen Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), Dakota Fanning (Jane Volturi) and Daniel Cudmore, (Felix Volturi) from 5 metres away.

My next convention is Eternal Twilight 2, in October, when I will meet Edi Gathegi (Laurent), Billy Burke (Charlie Swan) and Gil Birmingham(Billy Black), and I will be going to the New Moon premiere in London in November where I hope to see most of the cast.

2. How many Twi-conventions have you been to? Only one, Eternal Twilight, in February. London Film and Comic Con is a general Film convention, not a Twi convention, but i think we Twilighters pretty much took over ha ha.

3. What is the furthest you’ve traveled to meet one of them? So far, Italy, for the filming of New Moon but I’m planning to go to Vancouver, for the filming of Eclipse, in September.

4. Your favorite experience and with whom? My ‘guest encounter’ with Peter Facinelli at the Eternal Twilight
convention in Northampton, England, in February. Basically, there’s an auction, and the top 10 bidders get to spend 1 hour in a room chatting with Peter. The best hour of my life!

5. If you could meet any cast member again who would it be? Peter of course, I want to meet him as many times as possible. Also Kristen, as I only got to speak to her for a few seconds, I would love to be able to chat to her for longer.

6. Where is the location you would love to go to meet them? This is probably going to sound strange, but I would love to meet Peter s family, so at their house? or somewhere in Los Angeles, where they hang out together as a family. His wife Jennie Garth and his children seem so nice. Peter and Jennie are so much in love, it’s so cute.

7. What was the experience that went along with the picture you got for me. The crew write names on sticky notes on each item(So she had two pictures for me and two sticky notes). And I then walk up to the table where Peter is, his assistant takes the items from me, whilst he finishes talking and signing with the person before me. I just stand there and stare at him. His assistant passes a photo to him (for Taylor) and he says ‘good name’ and signs it. (You can see the picture of him signing my picture in the first thumbnail, I think that’s awesome that Katie took a picture of it for me!)

8. What is your favorite part of a Twi Convention. Surprising its not meeting the cast, its being able to chat about Twilight with other fans, and not being told to change the subject!

9. How overwhelming was it to be in the midst of all the twilight fever? very. it’s crazy most of the time, but it’s great that it has such a loyal fanbase that brings people together, and I’ve made some life long friends because of it.

10. If you could be cast as a character who would you like to be? The obvious answer is Bella or Esme right? Actually, I’d love to be Alice, because to see the future and therefore possibly being able to change it, would be the greatest ability I wish I could have.

Below are the pictures from Katie’s personal photo album from the event. Please don’t steal the pictures. The link to her album is here. The last thumbnail is of Katie and Peter in the picture they had taken together, yes, again I am jealous. Thanks again Katie for these pictures, I will cherish them forever!

Ed Westwick Couldn’t Talk To David Beckham In The Washroom

Posted by taylor blue on January 4, 2009 | 3 Comments

I haven’t had a chance to talk to any celebrities about this lately, but, when you are in the washroom it must be embarrassing when people come up to you and want to talk or to get an autograph from you.  I feel it’s supposed to be a private moment in there and I try not to even not look in the mirror at myself.

Ed Westwick explained an encounter he had with David Beckham that really showed we are all human…

“I had a Beckham shirt when I was a kid and he was the one I watched growing up,” the native Brit said. “I went to the toilet and there was David Beckham. I couldn’t say anything, I just ran out. There have been a couple of times I’ve been in the same room as him, but I just can’t. I can’t do it.”

But at other times too Ed gets all conflustered. I bet David would be happy to talk to him. They are both from England right? They seem a lot more agressive than the people here in the States or even Canada are. Poor Ed!

Milo Ventimiglia And Masi Oka Hit Australia

Posted by taylor blue on September 3, 2008 | 2 Comments

How lucky is Australia? They got a visit from Milo Ventimiglia and Masi Oka in a store where they meeted and greeted fans while promoting their show Heroes.

Milo still doesn’t understand why some fans need autographs…

“If I’ve ever been a fan of a musician or an athlete or an actor I think even when I was kid I never asked for autographs. I’d just walk up and say, ‘Thank you, I like your work,’ and walk away.  The kind of clamoring for that celebrity I’ve never really understood so much.  You’ve got to wonder what The Beatles must have felt like.”

I guess some of us just don’t know what to say and we want something to say that we met you later. I can easily say, ‘Hey, I met Milo and said I was a fan of his work.’ And people would ask for proof…and I would just have my word. I would love to have an autograph or a picture to remind myself of that moment I would never forget. It’s probably the same for other’s too.
