In Other Important News....

Wow, this week has definitely been a big one!  

To start: Daddy Cullen himself tweeted about wardrobe fittings for production!! This just makes it more surreal, doesn't it?

Then word came around that all of production will take place in Baton Rouge, including the final "battle scene". Vancouver will still be used but only for rough outside shots. Now some are concerned with this "battle scene" but I think it's a good thing. (pun intended) I mean, when you get to the final few chapters, it's dull. We need some excitement towards the end.  For one, I can't wait to see what GCI peeps do with Bella's shield!! 

Also, over on Ebay, there is currently a charity auction going on for StandUp2Cancer! They are auctioning off for an official and legal (as they put it) visit to the Breaking Dawn set in Vancouver for two! To bad they couldn't do that for here, I would so be on the next street corner with the highest traffic! LOL


And then, the BIGGEST news of all was of course a sighting of Robert Pattinson and company. Apparently, he is on a ROAD TRIP and passed through Lubbock, Texas the other night. No word on his whereabouts today or where exactly he's headed, but with KStew here in New Orleans, that's where my money is. Besides, they will all be in Baton Rouge shortly and New Orleans is just a hop skip and a jump! 


Okay, a little BIG news as well, Summpid is re releasing Eclipse back into theaters this Friday nationwide in honor of Bella's Birthday this Monday, September 13th! I am totally stoked and can't wait to see it on the Big Screen just one more time. I really don't care spending anther $5 on it!! 


So, there you have it! All the news wrapped up into one! All my sources are on Tweeter and I totally forgot to write them all down! Kudos peeps!

Kellan Lutz and the St. Bernard Project

As you know, Kellan Lutz has been a BIG SUPPORTER of the St. Bernard Project lately and now he tells us that he would like to get the "cast" involved while they film here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana beginning in November!

According to the Twilight Examiner: He told OK Magazine the following:
He told the publication that he hopes to bring the set to this work when possible. "It would be a great surprise for everyone" if he could get someone like Robert Pattinson to help, he said, "Although I would have to take video of Rob trying to hammer a nail, he might hurt himself

This is awesome news and makes me think!!!

Kellan Lutz and the St. Bernard Project


When Kellan Lutz aka Emmett Cullen, first join Twitter, my twitter page blew up with my friends screaming at me... "He's in your back yard!!"

I was like WHO? and they were all like KELLAN LUTZ!!! I was like okay...

So I journeyed over to Twitter to stalk out Lutz and lo and behold, he did join Twitter!!!

But what impressed me the most was that his first tweet was about a service project he was working on, called the St. Bernard Project!!
He had been in town working on a movie and went and helped the St. Bernard Project build some homes in the still slowing rebuilding city of Chalmette, LA.

When Hurricane Katrnia hit in 2005, this community was shattered because of a water outlet called the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, or MR GO. As Katrina's storm surge was approaching, the water came in through the MRGO and flooded the entire area. Much like New Orleans, these homes in the Chalmette area had water to their roof tops. And for me personally, I knew a few people who I worked with and were friends with, that lost EVERYTHING.

So, as this area slowly rebuilds, the St. Bernard Project, along with Habait for Humanity are rebuilding affordable homes for people to return to their roots and other family members that have return.

So yesterday, as I am researching for news, I spy this little post on TwilightersAnonymous.com about Lutz and the St. Bernard Project and then, while eating dinner out, there is a commerical on the TV about the St. Bernard Project!!! I'm telling ya it's fate that I can do this!!! LOL
