September 22, 2009 at 8:44 AM | by Jennifer Kester | 0 Comments


Team Jacob will approve of the trip to Montepulciano and this photo.

If you get bloodthirsty for Twilight, plan a vacation with some bite through CheapOair. In time for Halloween, the website is offering vampire-themed travel packages that include flight and a hotel in cities right out of the Twilight books and films.

The best spot for Twilighters to visit is Vancouver. Not only is the coastal city home to many of the vamps in the saga, it's also where the cast is filming the third installment in the series, Eclipse. So you just might be able to run into—or stalk—the gorgeous Robert Pattinson around town. The package includes a stay at Plaza 500 Hotel, starting at $95 a night.

More Twi-travel packages after the jump.

Roll Like An Old-School Movie Star In The South Of France

Where: Blvd. J.F. Kennedy, Antibes, France, 006601
July 16, 2009 at 1:17 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

Last one in's a rotten egg! We're finding the best places in the world to stick our toes in this summer (or next winter) for our World's Coolest Pools map. Know of any pools we must check out? Let us know.

Ask the old lady with the full complement of well-traveled Louis Vuitton suitcases: Sometimes the deluxe original is still the best. If you'd rather look to the young and hip, they'd have to agree with the seasoned jetsetter that the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc and its infinity pool is still one of the greats of the world. Twilight star Robert Pattinson will even vouch for it.

The grande dame hotel popular with the Cannes crowd was originally a mansion rented by loaded Americans during the Jazz Age—in fact, it inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald to write Tender Is The Night after a stay with his friends in the uber-plush environs. So snooty is the hotel that, until 2006, it didn't even accept credit cards. And don't even think of stashing that cash in a non-designer bag.

The seawater-filled pool faces the Mediterranean and, if you remembered to bring it, your yacht. TripAdvisor commenters note that it can get crowded for those without the wherewithal to arrange for its private rental, so stake your claim to a chaise early.

Robert Pattinson, Bummed by NYC, is Heading Back to Vancouver Next Month

July 8, 2009 at 11:19 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Boy, we sure wish we had this kind of problem when visiting New York City. According to the NY Daily News, Robert Pattinson is, "seriously bummed by New York ... and its women!" The Twilight star is in New York City filming the indie flick Remember Me and has been mobbed by female fans on set.

An insider told the paper:

“He’s embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He's afraid that if he gives a hand, they’ll take the whole arm. He’s being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn’t even look up anymore."

The NY Daily News also claims he has been taking solace by going out on the town, hitting bars like Black and White and Webster Hall, both in the East Village.

Robert Pattinson Takes Manhattan (And Girls Try to Take a Piece of Him)

June 17, 2009 at 10:23 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Robert Pattinson began shooting his latest movie, Remember Me, in New York City this week. His character in the movie, Tyler Roth, is a young man whose family is torn apart by his brother's recent suicide. It's not exactly an uplifting summer blockbuster but it might give him some street cred with critics who were less than impressed with his work in Twilight.

Naturally, he still can't escape the Tween Twilighters and Pattinson caused quite a stir when he filmed exterior shots in Washington Square Park on Monday. Over 200 girls lined the perimeter of the park watching him film and as he emerged onto the street once the shoot was over they descended on him, pulling at his clothes, screaming his name and literally, throwing themselves on him.

Date Night For The Super World Travelers in Antibes, France

Where: Antibes, France
May 21, 2009 at 9:31 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Please welcome our favorite super world travelers back onto the scene. Tuesday night in Antibes, France, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a romantic dinner at Michelangelo's restaurant. The two are in town while Brad promotes Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds at the Cannes Film Festival.

The restaurant, located about seven miles outside of Cannes, is known for serving a variety of Mediterranean cuisines and being a nice dinner escape for celebs at Cannes. Last night's entree came with more than just a dose of Brangelina; Twilight star Robert Pattinson also made an appearance at Michelango’s, although he was a third wheel, dining with Emile Hirsh and his girlfriend.

In other date night news, The new Captain Kirk, Chirs Pine, was spotted out with Audrina Patridge at the Red Lion Tavern in Silverlake, CA. The two are reportedly dating, or at least Chris wishes they were dating. The Red Lion is known for their extensive selection of German beer so maybe he can blame it on the alcohol and move on before he ends up a special guest star on The Hills.

Twilight Cast To Fend Off the Volturi in Italy

May 20, 2009 at 9:46 AM | by juliana | 0 Comments

While Robert Pattinson may have just landed in Cannes for the film festival, word is that the cast and crew of the new Twilight movie, New Moon, will leave their Vancouver set soon and head to Montepulciano, Italy to film the movie's crucial showdown with the Volterra vampire faction called, the Volturi.

In real life, Volterra does exist but the Montepulicano is being used instead as the stand-in. (Much like Vancouver is being used instead of Forks, Wash.) The vampire-free town (we think) is located in southern Tuscany, about an hour from Siena.

According to its website, the Twilight folk will roll into town the last week of May to start filming scenes. Considering Volterra/Montepulicano is where Edward Cullen bursts out into the sunlight to kill himself, we expect the movie will have no problem getting extras to film its "crowd scenes" in its Palazzo dei Priori which we are guessing will be filmed instead at the Palazzo Comunale. Also for Twilight geeks, Saint Marcus Day has already passed.

Road Trip To The First Twilight Fan Convention In Dallas This Summer

Where: 400 North Olive Street [map], Dallas, TX, United States
April 24, 2009 at 9:14 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Want to show your neighbors and friends you bleed "Twilight" red? You could plan your vacation around Forks, Washington, the real city where Bella and Edward met for the first time. Or you could set your sights for Dallas, Texas, which this summer will host the first TwiCon July 30-August 2.

The brain child of a Meyerverse podcaster, a vlogger and two PR people, TwiCon will gather the devoted masses at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel for a "Twilight" screening, panels on "The Female Role in 'Twilight'" and "Writing To Get Published" (for your mothballed vampire novel), and a Masque Ball to show off your darkness-inspired finery. Stephenie Meyer has not been confirmed as a guest, but several supporting actors from last year's movie will be there including Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen), Billy Burke (Charlie Swan) and Mr. Jennie Garth Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen).

Where To Run Away With Edward Cullen Forever

Where: 157151 Highway 101 [map], Forks, WA, United States
April 14, 2009 at 11:28 AM | by egw | 1 Comment

Who doesn't want to relive the magic of discovering the creepy boy in school is not only undead but also a 104-year-old virgin? "Twilight" fans now have an extra-special place to stay on their next pilgrimage to Forks.

Kalaloch Lodge in Forks just announced a one-night $149 "Bella package" for its log cabin accommodations. Vampire hunters get a map of Forks with clearly marked locations and "a special Twilight dessert," which we hope includes some kind of thick, delicious red sauce. But hurry up and read, because it's only available through May 31.

Meanwhile, on the Vancouver set of "New Moon," word got out that actor Michael Sheen ("Frost/Nixon," "The Queen") will play a vampire in the sequel. But this could be the last one shot in Canada if some members of the Washington legislature have their way: The state senate just passed a bill offering additional funding for TV and film crews who shoot there -- pretty clearly designed to recapture the "Twilight" dollars which are now flowing British Columbia's way. (The first movie was lensed in the southwestern city of Kalama.)

'Twilight's' Rival Vampires Set Up Shop In Vancouver

Where: 1419 Pendrell Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6G 1S3
April 9, 2009 at 9:26 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Last week when we wrote about fan furor in Vancouver around the shooting of vampire sequel "New Moon," we suggested another production could sneak in under the radar and get a lot of work done while local teens were distracted. And look, someone was listening! Specifically, the CW, which is moving in with its own vampire show.

The network behind Gossip Girl recently ordered a pilot called "The Vampire Diaries," based on a '90s YA series by L.J. Smith about a girl in a small town who falls in love with the mysterious new guy in town only to discover that he is a, say it, vampire. "Dawson's Creek" creator Kevin Williamson is executive producing and "LOST"'s Ian Somerhalder has been cast as one of the vampires. And guess who was just spotted hanging out in Vancouver this week? So the network isn't just jumping on the bandwagon, it's biting the scene too.

'Twilight' Sequel Forges Ahead Amidst Fan Frenzy

April 1, 2009 at 9:41 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

"Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner finds out he has fans at the Vancouver airport yesterday, despite disappointing millions when he accepted an award at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in place of super-sparkly costar Robert Pattinson.

Hey, you know what would be a very mean, yet awesome April Fool's Day joke? Posting on "Twilight" message boards today that the Canadian-shot sequel was having an open call for extras today. Not that fans are having a difficult time finding the set of "New Moon" in Hollywood North.

'Twilight' Vampire Spotted at Vancouver Pub

Where: 1111 Mainland Street , Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6B 2T9
March 13, 2009 at 9:16 AM | by juliana | 2 Comments

Why should you spend money on a Twilight Vampire Baseball Tour when you can probably just hit up some of the pubs in Vancouver for a chance to spot the only Vampire that you have eyes for--Edward Cullen played by British hotness Robert Pattinson.

Perez Hilton who is equally obsessed with Twilight and Pattinson (or perhaps, just the traffic they both drive to websites) posted a photo of Pattinson and a lucky fan at the Yaletown Brewery where apparently the entirely cast was knocking back a few drinks.

Ah yes, pubs are a wise choice for the cast because it can keep out most of their tween-adoring audience. (Heh, heh, but they can't keep us away! We're way over 21! Yes!)

The Yaletown Brewery is located at 1111 Mainland Street. It's been voted the Best Brewpub in Vancouver several years running and its also a 160-restaurant serving lunch and dinner. What gives us pause for concern is that it actually boasts about being a great place for after-work parties and corporate events. And now apparently, it can add Vampire covens to its list. But they probably aren't the ideal customers seeing as they don't drink or eat.
