Rooney Mara-Â star (Lisbeth Salander) of the highly anticipated "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Click here to see the awesome photos!
Movie out December 21st. Will you go see it? I'm looking forward to it! [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/DqQe3OrsMKI" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
The Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo in theaters Dec 21st. I thought the book Rocked, but it has been a while since I read it. I may have to do a re-read before the movie comes out. Or maybe not, so I don't compare the 2 too much.Â
Kristen, on shooting the wedding scenes: âItâs a trip to watch the wedding scenes especially. It was so volatile and emotional - I was being such a crazy person.â
Rob, on ripping pillows during the anticipated sex scene: âI wanted to have it as a line so much. [In an American/Edward accent] I bit through all the pillows. Every. Single. One. And then heâd start crying. By the way, thatâs what he should be ashamed of in the morning. All those beautiful pillows! Egyptian cotton! [Laughs] I ruined this bed!â
I'm about 3/4 into 'Breaking Dawn' again. I thought a re-read would be good. Refresh on a bit more detail, but not close enough to movie time in November that I compare the movie to the book too much. Kristen Stewart is definitely going to have to bring her 'A Game' for Bella these last 2 movies, with Bella's transformation. If that doesn't come across believable, then I fear the movie will be lacking for sure. I have faith in K.S! :)  I have no worries with Robert! He needs to just keep Rockn 'EDWARD'! SO EXCITED!!

Robert Pattinson thoughts on the 'birth scene'.. "The birth scene is so different from everything else in the movie. For a fantasy series it goes quite far. It's hardcore, it's graphic. There's no other way to do it. It was fun," he told the audience at Comic Con on Thursday"
Kristin Stewart: âSheâs literally choking on blood sheâs been drinking, literally out of her mind. It was always in my head that sheâs been able to fight harder than anyone because of that little bit in her, literally," she laughed ."And at that part I got to play with having venom run through your veins and start to feel the hell that that is, and thatâs after a moment of sheer exuberance of looking at your baby for the first time.â
Stephanie Meyer" "I'd love to have the birth scene be every bit as awful -- I know it freaked people out, but for those of us who have been through childbirth a couple times, it is a scary, terrifying experience," she told MTV News last year. "This is just taking that to an exponential power, and I love going there."
411 on the Wedding & more 'Breaking Dawn Part 1"
KS:"It had a kind of feel of everyone kind of excited to see how it's all going to go down," she continued. "I don't want to say it felt like a real wedding, but it definitely felt like a ceremony. It definitely felt ceremonial and celebratory."
HP and the DHP2 got over 168 Million dollars this weekend, breaking and smashing records.
Tonight, you can catch the Lifetime movie based on J.K Rowling and how her Harry Potter

It was a Hot weekend, but a good one! Thank goodness
for my complex pool. A must have when temps are
over 90 in May! Over the weekend, I ran into this at Sams Club...
*Grab it if you don't have it and want to know
what was in Stephanie's heads..more about the characters,
their story and history.. A little something to tied us over
until November 18th!! Breaking Dawn Part 1.. Can't wait!
I was craving 'Lemon Cake' over the weekend, so I made my 1st one.
It actually turned out yummy. My Honey Ted isn't a huge
fruit tasting cake fan, but he admitted it was YUMMY!!
I added to the box recipe to put a bit of flair
to it! It's Easy & Yummy to make! :)
Cake 1 Box of Lemon Cake Mix
1 Box of Lemon Pudding
3 large/jumbo eggs
1/3 cup of margarine (melted- 5 1/3 TBs) 1 cup of Fat Free Milk
1/3 cup of Italian Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer
1/4 tsp Lemon Extract (could also use real lemon juice) 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
Frosting/Topping 1 container of (Classic) Vanilla frosting
1 cup of white chocolate chips (I had to get chocolate in there .. LOL) 1 square of Bakers White chocolate
1 TB spoon of the Italian Sweet Creamer
1 TB spoon of Fat Free milk
Sugar(1/2 cup)
Cake: In a large mixing bowl mix together cake mix, pudding mix, 3 eggs,
1/3 cup of melted margarine (5 1/3 TBs),1 cup of milk & 1/3 cup of the
Italian Sweet Cream with the 1/4 tsp of Lemon Extract in it and
1 tsp of Vanilla. MIX for about 1 minute..then beat for 2 minutes!
I used a bundt pan that has the side come off- I sprayed it w/ Butter flavored Crisco/Pam and then coated the sides with sugar (Ted suggested Lemon Zest mixed with the sugar next time).I also lined the bottom of the pan with parchament paper (cut out the circle in the middle to fit the pan).  Put in a pre-heated oven 350! Take about 35-40 minutes to bake. Golden brown on top and clean tooth pick comes out. Shake some more sugar over the top of the cake before it
cools! Â Let it cool on a rack if you have one. within 1o minutes take the
side of the bundt pan off for it to cool completely.
Frosting:
Melt the white chocolate square and 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips
in the microwave starting with 30 seconds..then a few here and there each time
adding a splash of milk and creamer to make it smooth. Let it cool a bit
then add it to the Vanilla frosting. If the frosting seems like it's more melted, put
in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes just to set back up, not get cold.
Once cake it cooled, take out of the pan and on a serving plate or where you are
Keeping it. Frost and finish up with the rest of the white chocolate chips scattered on top!
It's pretty Easy & Yummy! Good Cake to go with the Texas Heat. Serve it
 up with a bit of Lite Cool Whip or you favorite cool whip topping! :)

Wanna help 'Bella & Friends' add to their $670 Million plus
they've raked in so far when it came out June 30th..
Â
*Kristen Stewart: (on her "Twilight" character, Bella)" People like her, oddly enough,
and she has no idea why. Then she falls in love with a vampire.
What I like about it is that the characters are really unique. "
Would you go to see it? I actually liked the Novella & when I read it wished that 'Bree's Life 2nd Life' hadn't
been so Short...I think Bree & Bella could have been Buds!!Â
#1..NOT Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight Saga"
/ came in #2- $40 MILLION... #1` James Patterson - $70 Million

James Patterson, $70 million: He'll put out 17 more books by the end of 2012.
Stephenie Meyer, $40 million: Vampires pay.
Stephen King, $34 million: He's even got a musical in the works with John Mellencamp.

in sales the past year... NOT BAD!
'Breaking Dawn Pt 1'-November 18, 2011
'Breaking Dawn Pt2'-Novemeber 16, 2012
No Confirmation yet on any 3D action... tongue wags about Pt 2... Director: Bill Condon Yes, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson & Taylor Lautner are ALL ABOARD!!!
*Filming is expected to start this November in
Baton Rouge, LA &Â Vancouver, British Columbia!!!
*Looks like  Double Feature  'Breaking Dawn' will be
PG -13... Do you do the Birth scene & others more graphic
like the Book?? Or tone it down a bit for the Movie???
Director Bill Condon would love to be more 'Graphic', but
it seems the consensus is 'TONE IT DOWN A BIT'... so it can be
PG-13!!!1st part of 'BD' is out next November..
But jumping a head of myself... The Countdown
to Eclipse is on... not long 'til June 30th!!!
NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!
... In the meantime you could always snatch up
a 'Bella Charm Bracelet' to get ya in the 'E-Spirit'...
I did.. actually enjoyed it.. a very quick read...too bad
her character doesn't have a Happy Ending. Many wondering..
Why the Novella about Bree since she's such a minor character
in the book... she seems to make a bigger impression in the movie
'ECLIPSE'... [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/U3V-ysvoD5I" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /] ... Might want to grab the Novella...just so you're on your game
w/ Bree..Riley & the New Vamps of Victoria's Crew during the movie! :) Â
Here's another 'Newbie-Eclipse Clip' tide ya over 'til the 30th.. [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/HFEA5vtxykE" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
*Also- 20 Things to do before Eclipse!!
I gotta do #18!!! :)
Stephenie Meyer has a Novella
coming out... (GIRLIE SCREAM) *According to Stephenie:
June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at www.breetanner.com.
"Stephenie Meyer isn't done with the world of sparkly vampires just yet -- and this June, she'll release a "Twilight" spin-off book centering on a character from "Eclipse."
According to the Hachette Book Group, the 192 page novella, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner," will be told from the P.O.V. of Bree, a newborn vamp in the third book.

..Here's something to try... [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/xfysMXFrUY4" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
*Coming close to the end of last book 'Breaking Dawn'
in the 'Twilight Series'... (IT'S SSSSOOOO GGGGOOOODDDD!!!) ...I'm really looking forward to 'New Moon' the movie
expected to drop in November...
Another possibility for the cast as
'Leah' (Female Werewolf).. .. *Zac better watch out if she starts doing
some 'Pro-Active Research'!!!
**Update 1/14/09...
..Okay, so I was thinking "Leah' wasn't very BIG in
'New Moon'... Others were too.. Looks Like Vanessa
IS NOT up for 'Leah' at least not for 'NEW MOON'..
Maybe..she could hold off for 'Eclipse'Â or 'Breaking Dawn'...
I'm game for those to hit 'Big Screens' too...
*If you are  a 'Twilight' Lover like me... I know my niece Kaiti will be VERY HAPPY TOO.. *Taylor Launter..AKA... 'Jacob -Movie Twilight'
Is coming back for the sequel "NEW MOON"... ..

for ALL THE BOOKS... IF SO... Taylor will be VERY BUSY!!!

Well.. Some changes for ... ... ...The movie:
