“Twilight” Hand Model Seeks Fame And Fortune

Ami AngelowiczOctober 4, 2010 //

Kimbra Hickey, the hands holding the forbidden fruit on the cover of the first Twilight book, was featured in the in The New York Post yesterday and I’m kind of obsessed with what a loon she sounds like. The 40-year-old massage therapist, who occasionally works as a “parts” model, likes to let everyone know that she’s the face behind the hands. She actually admits to standing by the register at Barnes & Nobles and telling customers who she is or pointing out her hands to strangers on subway billboards. But my favorite tidbit about Kimbra Hickey (that can’t be a real name) is that she’s been going to “Twihard” conventions to sell apple scented hand lotion. Amazing! I want it! Oh, and naturally, she’s trying to break into acting. She wants a bit part in the next “Twilight” movie. More! More! [NY Post] Keep reading »

What Would Kristen Stewart And Robert Pattinson’s Kid Look Like?

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 29, 2010 //

It’s the question Twihards can’t stop thinking about as they drift off to sleep at night. If Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, err, Bella and Edward, were to breed—what would their baby look like? Well, casting directors are trying to figure that out as we speak, as they audition young actresses for the role of Renesmee in “Breaking Dawn.” Rumor has it that 9-year-old Mackenzie Foy may be the lucky lady and is closing to signing a deal. She looks like a pretty believable combo of the two to me. What do you think? [NY Daily News] Keep reading »

Is “Hunger Games” The Next “Twilight”?

Kelli BenderSeptember 17, 2010 //

Though The Hunger Games has nowhere near the level of pop culture saturation as Twilight, the young adult trilogy is quickly gaining the same rabid fan base. But the similarities between the two fiction phenomenons end about there. The Hunger Games books present a world much darker than Stephenie Meyers’ land of glittery vampires and sullen girls. The story revolves around a post-apocalyptic society controlled by a greedy government working from a place called the Capitol. Keep reading »

Care To Take A Tinkle In Your “Twilight” Toilet?

Leonora EpsteinSeptember 1, 2010 //

Out of all the crazy fan products out there, this “Twilight” toilet decal is among the more deranged we’ve seen. (Seriously, the bathroom is a place where you leave all relationships at the door.) But, for “New Moon” die-hards, they can now go pee with Robert Pattinson staring them right in the ass (or, if you stick him on the inside of the lid, guys will go full-frontal).

We were going to end this post by making a joke about how people who deck out their toilet might as well just make their bathrooms completely “Twilight”-themed. Until we realized that, yup, you can get shower curtains, hand towels, and even toilet paper in the drama’s theme. Images after the jump. [GalleyCat/Mediabistro] Keep reading »

After Edward: What Will Be The Next Big Post-Vampire Craze?

Julie GersteinAugust 25, 2010 //

Team Edward or Team Jacob. “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries.” It’s clear that blood-sucking vampires are having a cultural moment. In fact, since the first “Twilight” movie was released in 2008, vampire-related products have grossed more than $7 billion worldwide. That’s a whole lot of blood at the bloodbank.

But “Twilight” and “True Blood” won’t be around forever (sad but true). So we’ve provided a list of several hot-to-trot contenders ready to replace the vampire craze with all the Burger King merchandising tie-ins your heart desires. Keep reading »

Quotable: “True Blood” Creator Alan Ball Takes A Shot At “Twilight”

Annika HarrisAugust 18, 2010 //

“To me, vampires are sex. I don’t get a vampire story about abstinence. I’m 53. I don’t care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.”

– Alan Ball, who brought “True Blood” to the masses, takes a well-deserved shot at Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight series, which I hear has implied sex in the fourth novel that I’m too frustrated to read. [Just Jared] Keep reading »

How To Write Like Stephenie Meyer

Amelia McDonell-ParryJuly 26, 2010 //

The website “I Write Like” analyzes a block of text and tells you which famous author the writing is reminiscent of. Depending on what article I put in, my writing style is either similar to Jane Austen (um, boring?) or Stephen King (supermarket trash?). Writing like Stephenie Meyer, the woman behind the hugely popular Twilight series, is even easier. Clearly. [via BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Quotable: Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg Majorly Spoils Key Moment In “Breaking Dawn”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 14, 2010 //

“The childbirth—all the scenes, I feel—should be on screen. Would we actually see Edward’s teeth through the placenta? I don’t think so. I don’t think we need to see that.”

—Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter behind all three “Twilight” flicks, talks about how they plan to take out a few gory details from the childbirth scene in “Breaking Dawn.” Now, I know I’m the only person on the planet who hasn’t read the book—but thanks for ruining it, Melissa. [People]

“Vampires Suck” Looks Like It … Sucks

adminJuly 9, 2010 //


I’m still reeling from the atrocity that was “Date Movie,” but now Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are back to make fun of “Twilight” and all the other fangy movies and TV shows with the flick “Vampires Suck.” I’m not sure why they wasted all that production value on churning out these movies. But even more so, I’m annoyed at how out of control they’ve gotten. Is it really necessary to parody like 40 movies at once and insert a zillion pop culture references? What does “Alice in Wonderland” have to do with vampires? And why do the actors look more like the actors from “Twilight” than the actors from “Twilight” look like themselves? I’ll admit that the Black Eyed Peas joke made me chuckle, but it just seems silly to parody a movie that is already so ridiculously silly half the time. That paper-cut scene actually happened! That’s not parody. That’s just mimicking. [NYMag.com] Keep reading »
