‘Nightlight’ A Funny ‘Twilight’ Parody

Posted by taylor blue on November 4, 2009 | No Comments

I am an avid reader and right now I’m reading, The Mortal Instruments Series. I’m almost done the second book but feel heartbroken about the characters so I must admit that I haven’t been reading as much as I used to.

I had heard about Nightlight by The Harvard Lampoon a couple weeks ago and how it was a parody of Twilight. I know that when I was reading it I had some silly questions about the characters. The book finally came out today and on the EW website they posted a chapter of it.

The main character is Belle and she is moving from Phoenix to where her dad lives, Switchblade. And the main character that she falls in love with is a computer geek named, Edwart. I have to say that I read through the first chapter quite quickly laughing and getting stares at the other people in my house. Here is my favorite excerpt from the first chapter.

It was then that I saw him. He was sitting at a table all by himself, not even eating. He had an entire tray of baked potatoes in front of him and still he did not touch a single one. How could a human have his pick of baked potatoes and resist them all? Even odder, he hadn’t noticed me, Belle Goose, future Academy Award winner.

A computer sat before him on the table. He stared intently at the screen, narrowing his eyes into slits and concentrating those slits on the screen as if the only thing that mattered to him was physically dominating that screen. He was muscular, like a man who could pin you up against the wall as easily as a poster, yet lean, like a man who would rather cradle you in his arms. He had reddish, blonde-brown hair that was groomed heterosexually. He looked older than the other boys in the room — maybe not as old as God or my father, but certainly a viable replacement. Imagine if you took every woman’s idea of a hot guy and averaged it out into one man. This was that man.

”What is that?” I asked, knowing that whatever it was it wasn’t avian.

”That’s Edwart Mullen,” Lululu said.

Edwart. I had never met a boy named Edwart before. Actually, I had never met any human named Edwart before. It was a funny sounding name. Much funnier than Edward.

I can’t wait to get the whole book and read and giggle through the whole thing! I hope they end up writing all the books. I know there is a couple of the characters like Dr. Cullen and Emmett and how they would make them really funny.

Kellan Lutz Halloween Sexy

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

Kellan Lutz ripped up Tao last night in Las Vegas where he hosted a Halloween party with co-star, Ashley Greene.  Kellan decided to be a ripped in his costume, is it Robin? Or maybe it should just be called sexy. I have huge issues with masks around this time of year but I might be convinced to try and not run away if I saw Kellan in his mask.

Recently Kellan did an interview with Vanity Fair talking about New Moon, how busy he’s been and what he likes to read. Here are the highlights:

On what he does on his downtime: I love to read. I have a Kindle, and it’s nice to be able to download books that people refer. Rob[ert Pattinson] reads all of the time and he refers so many great books, Jackson [Rathbone], as well, and Kristen [Stewart]. It’s nice to just download books because we have so much downtime. I have close to eight hours a day to read. I finish so many books it’s amazing. I’m also doing Rosetta Stone, learning some French.

On what he’s reading right now: Right now, Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. Also Jessica Bendinger, I did a movie with her called Stick It—she’s the director—and she wrote her first novel, The Seven Rays. I have an advanced copy and it’s amazing.

On what books cast members have recommended: [Addressing Jackson Rathbone, who is also in the room:] Jackson, what’s that book that you recommended? Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, which I’m going to read next. Jackson’s reading my Kindle right now; I’m passing along Letters from the Earth.

On one thing that has changed in his life since Twilight has come out: I’ve never been so busy in my life. I’ve never gotten my frequent flyer miles so high that I feel like I can travel around the world for free. I’ve been on a plane every weekend trying to come back to L.A. to see my dog. I feel like I’ve been so blessed to be working, but everything I shoot is out of L.A., so I don’t really have too much time to spend with my number one love: my puppy. (She’s not really a puppy—she’s five—but she’s close to my heart.) We have so much press stuff that we get to do—I love doing the conventions and meeting the fans. November’s going to be pretty crazy, what with being on a plane every day, landing, appearances, flying to another city that night … It’s a roller coaster.

On how he copes with it: We all have our passions that we enjoy. Rob and Jackson will bring their guitars everywhere. As long as you have that passion where you can just disappear and be normal, feel normal, bring your iPod or favorite books, and just do the things that you would do when Twilight wasn’t around—that’s all keeping us who we are. We’re all really blessed, and we’re humble and down to earth, anyway.

On the cast leaning on each other more now: Yeah, definitely. It’s one of those things where we kind of are this family, especially going through all this. We’re all going on this insane adventure and fantasy as an actor with Twilight, and it’s nice to do it with someone. We’re all friends, which is nice, so we can all go out to dinner, have a great time, relax, play games, go out to concerts. Kings of Leon have been up here, Jason Mraz … It’s nice to disappear and do stuff together. All of our friends are back home, and we try to have our friends come up here and hang out. But realistically it’s kind of tough to do that, so it’s nice to have the cast members to count on. That’s the great thing about this franchise—we hopefully get to look forward to making all of the books, so you never have to really say goodbye [to each other] like you do with other projects. You get to say, “See you soon,” or, “See you in L.A.” We get to pick up where we left off.

Kellan Lutz & Peter Facinelli Hit LAX

Posted by taylor blue on April 21, 2009 | 2 Comments

I know I’m late with these pictures of Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli (my two favorite people in the world!) but I just got my hands on these today. Kellan and Peter were returning from the New Moon set in Vancouver and were hamming it up for the cameras at LAX airport. Peter’s smile is really adorable and has pretty much melted me to the ground.

I wonder what part of New Moon they are reading I hope for their sake they have already read the book or at least the parts that they are in. But I know how they feel, I haven’t even finished Breaking Dawn yet! I hope I do before that movie comes out.

More pictures….

Britney Spears Hits The Pool In Miami

Posted by taylor blue on March 10, 2009 | No Comments

It seems like Britney Spears is getting alot of time to spend with her children, Sean Preston and Jayden, during her Circus tour. That probably really helps being on the road that much easier too. She looks happy and relaxed with them around.

Here they were hanging out at Miami pool. That shot of Britney reading the magazine really scares me. These paparazzi have really good cameras now.
