RollingStone Q & A with Taylor Lautner...

Rolling Stone.com has a bonus Q & A with Taylor Lautner who is the cover story for the December issue of Rolling Stone magazine. Taylor talks about the love triangle between Bella, Jacob and Edward.

Don’t you think that when some fans see New Moon, they may be disappointed, because you’re kind of the villain in a way ~ I have some pretty passionate team Jacob fans [laughs].

Right. But you’re also the obstacle getting in the way of the great romance between Bella and Edward. ~ I can see where you’re coming from. The thing is, Jacob and Edward are two completely different guys. They are opposites. And it’s just what kind of girl you are. If you like that more mysterious, dangerous type, then that’s one guy. I personally love Jacob and Bella’s relationship, and how they began as friends. They are so much more open, and can tell each other anything. And Bella and Edward’s relationship, it’s always tense. It’s always serious. But Jacob and Bella’s friendship starts growing stronger and stronger and you just wonder if they can go past friends. It looks like that at some points.

But when your character hangs up on Edward in New Moon, it sets off the whole chain of events that almost lead to a major tragedy. That’s something a villain would do. ~ Yes. that is part of Jacob’s character. He can’t really control himself. When he gets mad, he gets mad. And all Jacob has on his mind is on Bella. That’s who he cares for. That’s who he loves. If somebody gets in his way, it’s not good. And he will explode. So I guess you could see that either way.

And then Bella is always lying to Edward so she can see you. This is supposed to be like true love forever, so why can’t she just be honest? ~ You know, she’s serious with Edward and then she meets best friend Jacob. She gets confused.

But you’re not really her friend. You have an agenda with her, and you’re always making snide comments about Edward. ~ If I was Jacob, and I feel like I have lived as him, it gets so annoying. Because she’s in the car with you one moment, about ready to kiss you and then she leaves and is with Edward. And then she’s back with you, you know.

Why do you think Jacob and Edward likes Bella so much? ~ Because she’s different, meaning she’s more of the plain Jane type. You know, she’s not fake. I know that attracts me too. Just somebody who is down to earth and themselves. I mean, apparently Edward likes her smell. But Jacob’s relationship with her is — Jacob has just always liked her. They used to be friends because their fathers are best friends. And he’s just always had a crush on her since he was a kid. Now they are getting to that stage where things can start!

Spin Magazine Q & A with Nikki Reed

SPIN magazine has a great Q & A with Nikki Reed [Rosalie Cullen] about her musical favorites and t-shirts collection.

Name a song that you’ve listened to in the past 24 hours. ~ “She’s Only Happy in the Sun.” It’s nonstop Ben Harper in my apartment. My first boyfriend played me this song when I was 14 because my life back then was all about going to Venice Beach. Luckily, we didn’t have a bad breakup, so I don’t have any painful memories attached to the music.

On that note, what song do you associate with your first kiss? ~ D’Angelo’s “How Does It Feel” was playing at the time — in my head. Honestly, the most memorable make-out sessions I ever had were in the 2003 movie Thirteen. Those were hardcore.

Who would you like to portray in a rock biopic? ~ Rickie Lee Jones. Last year I went to see her at the Largo in L.A. on Valentine’s Day by myself. She seems eccentric. She started telling stories about her childhood, and I was thinking, “Oh, maybe this is the night when she wants to make this a personal experience.” But it turns out she does that all the time.

What’s the first album you bought with your own money? ~ The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I liked her in Sister Act 2. Also, I grew up in an area where I was a minority, so it was culturally diverse.

Do you have a go-to karaoke song? ~ I don’t drink, and karaoke is something you should only do drunk. But I’m obsessed with Adele. I put on “Chasing Pavements” and sing it in my apartment. The great thing about Adele is if you put her on top volume, you actually sound like her while you’re singing. I’ve gotten a few complaints from the neighbors.

What’s the most prized T-shirt in your collection? ~ Friend and New Moon star Kristen Stewart and I share a lot of clothes, so I wear a lot of Joan Jett shirts.

Kristen is playing her in a movie. ~ Yeah, Joan made replicas of the ones she used to wear in the ’80s and gave them to us.

What’s the last concert you attended? ~ I saw the Dead Weather in Vancouver, where we’re shooting [the third Twilight film] Eclipse. I got really into Jack White two years ago because of my friend Sage. She quizzes me on rock music, asking me things like “Who’s your favorite Beatle?”

So who is your favorite Beatle? ~ I guess Paul McCartney. This is going to be a controversial thing to say, but I don’t really understand the Beatles. If Kristen were here right now, she would slap me across the face. Then again, if I ask her, “What’s the first line of Biggie’s ‘Juicy’?” she wouldn’t know. Why don’t people sit around and talk about Ol’ Dirty Bastard the way they do the Beatles?

I love Peter Facinelli! He is Gorgeous

I'm Betting on Alice...

i finally got to see New Moon! i am in love...
Here are some of the highlights of the movie that i loved!

Alice with her birthday present for Bella. i love how she exuberantly jumped
off the banister of the school like she did, not a care in the world if anyone noticed.
' "Happy Birthday Bella!" Shh! i said no birthdays." "You'll like it. Wear it to the party, seven o' clock." '

Jasper gets to use his powers. i just love this picture of them too. Hate his wig though.

' "Jazz, shh. Shh, it's okay, it's just a little blood." ' She then looks to Bella with her arm covered in blood. ' "i'm sorry, i can't." ' Yes! Jasper gave me the creeps! He was in character.

Even though this is behind the scenes, i love this part.

i loved when she walks in, and turns around and Alice is there. Makes you jump! it was a cute jump into Alice's arms.
' "Bella, what in the hell is that god awful wet dog smell?" "I think that may be me." then along the lines of, "Jacob is a werewolf or something."
Jacob enters...

Alice excuses herself.
' "Alice, you aren't leaving, you're going to come back?" '
' "Just as soon as you put the dog out." ' *smile!

i love the deep bond that Bella and Alice have. i also love that the feelings of taking their lives for one another is mutual. The Volturi creeps me out... way to go Chris Weitz!

The Voting scene.

i loved it.

Alice:

' "i already see you as a sister." ' [Hugs] ' "So yes." '

i <3'd how well they got the dialogue of Rosalie's part perfectly [i think.]

[this isn't word for word. i just loved it.]

' "i am really sorry for what happened. I appreciate how brave you were to go save my brother, but this isn't a life i would've chosen. i wish someone could've voted no for me." [pause.] "So no."

Emmett's:

' "Hell yes, we can fight the Volturi some other way." '

i loved how Esme's just full of love.

i loved Carlisle's response to Edward's:

' "Why are you doing this to me?" '

simple.

Something along the line of ' "yada yada yada. I can't loose my son." '

All in all I loved Alice in this movie!

And as for Kristen, Kristen's performance was amazing!

She got the emotions so well.

i would've hated doing that part.

All the emotion tied in to it.

i loved the transition from Wolf, to Sam carrying Bella home to Charlie.

i hated Bella's pain, because i'm sure some day, in some way or another i'll relate.

i loved and hated the emails she narrated in sending to Alice.

i loved Jessica and her rambling.

i loved the ' "Hall Monitors on Steroids." '

i loved the movie scene with Mike and Jacob.

i loved the ' "Bella, i know what he did to you, but i will never hurt you," ' or something

' "He is weird." ' [After Jacob attacks Mike verbally]

i loved Bella going to Jacob. ' "You've cut your hair, and gotten a Tattoo." '

i hated Jacob telling her to go away.

i loved Jacob climbing the house to get in.

i loved Bella just staring at Jacob, then putting her fist to his abs.

i loved Jacob telling her to remember.

i loved that Bella remembers, for Jake's sake.

i loved Bella going into the Black's house, and opening Jacob's room. He was a little to big for the bed.

i loved Bella seeing the boys, and confronting them.

i loved Bella slapping Paul.

i loved Jacob rushing in to save the day.

i loved the fight between Paul and Jacob.

Emily: She's gorgeous.

Emily: ' "Save some for your brothers, and ladies first." '

i loved the, ' "Who's this?" "Bella Swann." "So you're the vampire girl?" '

and... Bella's response.

' "So, you're the wolf girl." '

And Emily's response: ' "Well, i guess you could say that. i'm engaged to one."

i loved the love and adoration in Sam's eyes when he came in and saw Emily.

i loved that Bella and Jacob go and talk.

i loved Bella's and Jacob's lines in this part:

' "Jacob, you've killed people." "We're only killing what we're trying to save you from." "Jacob you can't kill vampires." "Killing the bloodsucking leech with dreads wasn't hard and the red headed one is next." "Victoria." "We don't know what she wants." "i know what she wants. [pause for dramatic suspense.] Me."

i loved the chase between the wolf pack and Victoria.

i hated the fact that Mr. Clearwater went bye - bye.

i loved the scene in the car, Jacob explaining how Sam

got angry for a split second, and she got in the way.

i loved how he was protective enough to slam the door closed to save her from the leech Victoria, to find out it was Alice Cullen!

i hated how Jacob overstepped some boundaries on the phone thing.

i hated Edward calling and ruining the 'almost' kiss.

i hated that Jacob begged and begged Bella to stay, and Bella didn't.

i loved that he reached into the car.

i loved Alice's driving.

i wished they put in Alice sweet talking to the guard.

i loved the run through the square to save Edward.

i loved the first embrace with Bella and Edward.

i loved Demetri and Felix come in.

i loved Edward's: ' "Go to hell." '

i loved Alice's: ' "Guys, come on, it's a festival. You wouldn't want to cause a scene." '

i loved the stupid receptionist for the Volturi.

i loved the elevator????

i loved the dialogue about the stupid receptionist for the Volturi.

"Does she know?" "Yes." "Does she want to?" "Yes." "She'll become it," - Jane - "Or dessert!"

i loved the fight scene.

i loved how creepily accurate they made Aro creepy. He was a CREE - P!

i loved how Marcus acts old. i loved his dismissing them.

i loved Caius. He was legit.

i love, love, loved when they're leaving, the boy vampire says to the girl vampire ' "Save me some" ' after she says, ' "don't they look juicy?" '

i liked how they portrayed the screams going to a dream that Bella has.

i loved Charlie... all through out the movie.

i loved the voting scene, and how beautiful it was.

i loved Jacob in the middle of the road.

i hated how it ended. i won't spoil it. i promise

i can't wait for Eclipse!

Is it worth it?

Waiting in line for this? Yes.
Waiting only for that. Maybe.

Chocolat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lately I've been craving chocolate - chocolate chip cookies, with white chocolate chips, so here's a creat recipe. Go here, and enjoy! [You can substitute the chips for anything you want. I decided to substitute the chocolate chips for white chocolate.] I decided on a Double Chocolate Walnut cookie!

Enjoy!

1 c. ghiradelli milk chocolate - chocolate chips, 1/2 c. shortening, 1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla, 1 egg, 2 tbsp. Milk, 1 1/2 c. flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. chopped walnuts, 1 bag ghiradelli White chocolate chips

Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in double boiler. Cream together shortening, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Blend in melted chocolate. Mix in egg, beat well. Stir in milk. Combine flour with baking powder and salt. Blend flour mixture into batter. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by teaspoon about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Stephenie Meyer was on Oprah today...

Stephenie Meyer came on to Oprah, for her only interview ever [?!?!?] Let me tell you, it was probably not that great of a show. I mean, Oprah, gives money away. How about the 'Molly is a poor college student' fund? Anyhoo...The show starts off with I guess some Kareokee contestants. She had eliminated 5 the friday before, and today, it was down to three more. The five the friday before, all recieved a check for $25,000. EACH! That's $125,000 dollars total. The winner will recieve $250,000 dollars, so I'm sure the two that don't win will get something amazing...Anyway, back to Twilight. Stephenie Meyer, as we all know is an amazing woman! She would not have made the books, she would have been a no go...Without her, we wouldn't have the beloved books...Oh yeah, I said it. They talked about how the Meadow scene and ch. 13 in the book, was how it started. It was a dream Stephenie had, and in her own Fantasy world, she wanted to know the characters better... Aww! There was a different ending, but her mother persuaded her to add more action, and that warrants the introduction of the Volturi. When Stephenie first met Edward, he was someone who in a good way, 'didn't' look like anyone else. He was different. Different is good. I'm just look forward to seeing that amazing set of abs on, you know who... JACOB BLACK or TAYLOR LAUTNER for that matter! A librarian, some teachers and a few students from a middle school in Missouri, or Mississippi or somewhere with an M, clad in New Moon T's said that there was a waiting list of 1000 for the book. So, Harpo, lovely Harpo being the beautiful woman she is, told the group on skype, she'd be sending 600 copies of the book, and not just Book 1, or book 4 or one of the other two, but a full set of all 4 books!

The dude that came in 3rd got $50,000
The dude that came in 2nd got $100,000
The dude that came in 1st got $250,000 and some other junk! The first place winner reminded me of Rueben Studdard, who beat the Gay Clay Aiken out unfairly...

Oprah's site here, and This site here, are great sources for new Moon, etc!
