From Vanity Fair:

“For the July issue of Vanity Fair, Norman Jean Roy photographed the spooky beauties of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse—five vampires (Dakota Fanning, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Elizabeth Reaser, Bryce Dallas Howard) and one lone lady werewolf (Julia Jones). Nancy Jo Sales was on set, where, between takes, the girls mused on the gothic romance that has everyone palpitating.

Nikki Reed plays the disapproving Rosalie Cullen. Here’s her take on the story’s appeal: “Bella and Edward’s love is very taboo and forbidden,” says Reed, “and I think that kind of represents all youthful relationships, because that’s what all first loves feel like. … It’s sort of borderline, like, insane.”

Elizabeth Reaser, who plays vampire mom Esme, exclaims on the attractive young men of Twilight: “Oh, it gets so old, you have no idea,” says Reaser. “It has no effect on me. They’re all gorgeous and lovely boys. … You just want someone interesting and weird at a certain point. I have a massive crush on Larry David.”

Bryce Dallas Howard, a replacement actress playing vampire-with-a-vengeance Victoria, is a Twihard: “I had seen Twilight
innumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with Robert Pattinson’s face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed. My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’”
Ashley Greene, who plays psychic vampire Alice, anticipates success: “You don’t have to be psychic to know how this movie’s going to do,” she says. “Obviously, it’s going to be a hit.”

Aussie Twilight Mum Gen had a wonderful experience at Luna Park Last Night, here’s what she said:

Dreams Can Come True: You just have to believe..and campaign hard!

“As soon as they released the information that Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner were coming to Australia for a promotional tour I got so excited! I thought, here is the chance for me to try to break into the media game and see if I could get an interview!

Getting an interview with ANY celebrity is hard and basically this was going to be near-to-impossible, but it didn’t stop me from trying! I started a Facebook campaign to “Let this Twi-Mum Interview Kristen & Taylor”. I campaigned hard, contacted every media outlet I could think of, including publicists! I had over 400 group members who were also helping me along! By Tuesday I realised we needed to step it up a notch, so I asked for people to send me their pics holding a sign saying they wanted me to interview them. We ended up with almost 100 photos! It was amazing. I recorded a quick video and put everything together and uploaded to YouTube! I had everyone sending it around the world and all over the media!

I hadn’t received any nibbles at all! On Monday morning, the day of the Q&A I was going to be attending the outdoor Q&A with fellow Aussie Twilight Mums. I was going to have fun no matter what the weather was like! I had heard that the stars would walk the carpet to greet fans at 7pm so thought as long as I got a glimpse then I would be eternally happy!

I received correspondence early Monday afternoon asking to contact a publicist. Wasn’t sure what was going on, but phoned immediately! He informed me that he had seen my campaign on Facebook and the video! Channel 7 wanted to do a news interview on me as a Twi-Mum! Rushing through my day I got to Luna Park and was met with the publicist for Nova radio. He said that the news crew as well as the “Drive Team” consisting on Ryan, Monty & Whippa wanted to meet me. We taped a small interview piece and then the Drive Team congratulated me on the campaign and said they had a surprise! They then presented me with the last indoor pass into the Q&A!!!! I was so incredibly excited!!!!!!!!!
There was a pre-function where we had yummy food and drinks! I chatted with some lovely ladies and we quickly found out that we were all “Team Robert Pattinson”!!!!! We moved into the Big Top and the stage was beautiful! They had fairy lights everywhere, blue tones. They had 2 side screens and a settee for Kristen & Taylor to sit on. Behind them was a screen with the Newborns in the water. Light boxes with flowers and Eclipse signs plus more fairy lights completed the setting.

The Q&A was fun. Throughout the interview it was apparent that Kristen & Taylor are close friends. During the showing of the clips, they’d be whispering in each others ears, laughing or pushing each other with a shared joke! The energy between them made everyone smile.

Afterwards both Kristen & Taylor headed outside to greet everyone that had been braving the cold and rain. It was great. I had the opportunity to find a spot that no one was standing at and I waited! At one time I didn’t think they were coming down our way, but then it happened!! Both Taylor and Kristen passed in front smiling, signing autographs and speaking to the fans. When the publicist said no pics so that Kristen could get to everyone she was still more than happy to offer a hug!

It was a night I’ll never forget! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would get to meet Kristen & Taylor!”
