Alex Meraz looked so happy at the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon last night at the Mann Village and Bruin Theaters in Los Angeles, California. I love Alex in a suit but I was hoping maybe he would adopt what he wore in the movie, maybe showing up on the red carpet shirtless but that may have been too much pressure for him.

Alex was tweeting about it a lot in the last couple of days and it was neat to hear him so excited. Just before he went to the premiere he tweeted this.

Just got my hair cut and I actually shaved for once…I look like Nick Lachey…could be a good or a bad thing…don’t know.

And then just as he was pulling up he tweeted this.

In the limo about to pass out with nerves!! I’m amazed at how may people came out.

I think he looked great. Alex can sure clean up.

Alex Meraz was in Aventura, Florida today at Aventura Mall at a private meet and greet for a lucky 75 fans. Alex was also on the Rachael Ray show today. I didn’t get a chance to see it because the little boy in my life decided that he needed to watch cartoons.

I have been following Alex on Twitter and he’s really funny. I’m not surprised though Alex looks like he would be fun to hang out with. Yesterday he tweeted this…

Highlight of the night: A girl walks up to get my autograph with a disappointed look on her face and says “your not as Cute in person”

Poor Alex. I would think that he was cute no matter what.

The countdown to OneRepublic’s Waking Up continues with the release of another track from the album.  “Secrets,” along with “Everybody Loves Me” and the band’s current single “All The Right Moves,” is now available for download  in advance of the album’s November 17th release.  Head over to the iTunes store today to grab the song early.

OneRepublic is currently holding a contest for fans to create a new Twitter background for their official account Twitter.com/1republic.  Check out all of the rules here for the chance to become a featured design.

We have been waiting all week for the new video by Britney Spears. Finally, this morning she released the video on Twitter. I have to say that I like it. And then I take a listen to the lyrics….

Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?

Is this a song about threesomes? I guess this is the new open-minded world…

Adam Lambert released the artwork for his album last week on Twitter. Honestly, I thought that it was totally Adam. The glam rocker type thing. But what do I know? Adam took to Twitter again to explain the cover to the people that didn’t get it.

“Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy. It’s an [homage] to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don’t get it: oh well… Glad to have gotten your attention.”

“Debut single is called For Your Entertainment get ready to shake yo asses to this song. It’ll make ya dance for sure. ”

I know that his record will be an amazing hit. He was the only one I rooted for on American Idol.

I am realizing before New Moon comes out that the werewolves might be just as hot as the vampires. (Okay only Alex Meraz and Taylor Lautner are the cute ones.) Finally Alex is getting the love he deserves. He did an interview with Vanity Fair where they discussed all things Twilight. Here are the highlights of the interview.

On if he had seen Twilight: No, I hadn’t, but after I got the role, I bought a bootlegged version and watched it while I was on set.

On his favorite scene to shoot: The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.

On if he had a stunt double: No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.

On what they did on their downtime: We showed each other exercises. Taylor would show some of his workout, I would show some of mine. We’d practice martial arts tricks … just goof off! We had a great time. That’s part of what our characters were like anyway. We’re supposed to be frisky, friendly—like brothers. I think everyone on set was affected by it because they were always looking forward to the days when the Wolf Pack would film … everyone was really excited. They knew we were going to bring a different kind of energy.

On his thousands of Twitter followers: I know! It’s only been like a week and a half since I got my Twitter [account]! It’s pretty cool. For the first week, no one believed it was me, so I had to put a picture of me holding my name. It looked like a mug shot! It was pretty ridiculous, but it’s really cool knowing you have really enthusiastic fans that want to hear about what you do on a day-to-day basis.

I think it’s been a full week of John Mayer here but someone has to love him and if it’s me, so be it. Today is his birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! He also released the cover of his new album Battle Studies today on Twitter. I am really looking forward to this album.

There are tons of impostors on Twitter. These people think it’s cool to impersonate these celebrities.  I know that I am all for putting out the word that there are posers out there. Peter Facinelli promised before that he would get Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner to leave a message for everyone on his twitter. (He already has had Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz leave messages.)

Here’s what Rob left on Peter’s twitterstream:

Thanks a million. Here’s Rob… Hi, it’s Rob… My first and last tweet. My dad made me do it.

Yes, it makes me excited to think Rob actually typed that out. And he doesn’t have a Twitter. Out with all those posers.

It seems like every week these days we are writing posts about someone dying. Today it happens to be Patrick Swayze who lost his 20 month fight with pancreatic cancer. I know many people said it was bound to happen. But I was hoping maybe Patrick could last forever.

I want to remember Patrick the best way I know. As Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing. I used to watch that movie as a little girl and wish that I could be Baby and dance with him. I even bought the soundtrack on record so I could listen to it all the time. Yes, I said record.

Celebrities took to Twitter to pay their respects to this amazing actor that we will all miss dearly.

@emmyrossum: RIP. My heart hurts

@Alyssa_Milano: RIP Patrick. You were a great talent. And more importantly… a true gentleman.

@amandabynes: I have a great deal of faith in faith; if u believe something strongly enough, it becomes true for u. Patrick Swayze RIP.

@seankingston: R.I.P Patrick Swayze ;(

@jamie_oliver: sad news Patrick Swazey the actor from dirty dancing just passed away, very sad i met him once he seemed nice, very sad night.

@DonnieWahlberg: Moment of silence and respect… We just lost the subject of one of our best songs ever… And a true star… R.I.P. Patrick Swayze.

@rosemcgowan: He was so brave&he fought so valiantly.yet another RIP Patrick Swayze.

@billyraycyrus: Patrick Swayze. An inspiration to all. A great man and your work will live forever. May God be with you and your loved ones……… Amen.

@yvettenbrown: I’m sad to hear about Patrick Swayze’s passing. My heart breaks for his wife.

@TheRealJordin: Awww RIP Patrick Swayze. He was such a fighter! He doesn’t have to be in pain anymore.

Our thoughts are with Patrick Swayze’s family and friends as they get through this time. I hope they can find peace soon. I hope that Patrick is happy where he is because his fighting and pain are over. You will be missed my Johnny Castle, you will be missed.

Kanye West has been causing trouble all over the place. Tonight at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards he went up to Taylor Swift while she was accepting her first VMA and interrupted saying that it was Beyonce that had the better music video. I watched the clip so many times and even sat through the Awards again to see if it would change the second time around. But of course, just like the Titanic sinks every time I watch the movie this one did too.

I was on Twitter after wards watching the reactions. That place has really changed the way we do news these days. Anyways, I overheard  that Kanye’s twitter account had been suspended. It was probably a really good idea they did that considering all the hate messages that would be delivered there.

And then Mike from Mike’s Bloggity Blog was telling me that Kanye  is making an announcement about his tour with Lady Gaga tomorrow (Monday) and is on the first episode of the new Jay Leno show. So for the first time I’m thinking maybe he did it on purpose to drum up publicity for himself? I don’t know if it turned out the way he wanted since his performance at the VMA’s was canceled. Please tell me that he was just being stupid? It’s a whole lot easier to explain then what it is.
