Twilight Spawns Its Own Reality Show in Forks, WA
First, life imitated art when The O.C. became the inspiration for a little reality show called Laguna Beach. Then, Desperate Housewives served as the basis for the original Real Housewives, and now it looks like The Twilight Saga may be spawning its own reality show too.
Once upon a time, Forks, WA was a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere, but thanks to Stephanie Meyers, who set the Twilight books in Forks, the town has become the destination for fans of the franchise. There is even a documentary about the community called "Twilight in Forks," which will be released on DVD with "New Moon." So its no surprise that reality TV execs have come knockin' on Forks' door looking for the next big reality TV stars.

The Two Taylors Take Their Love On The Road...To Benihana
It looks the two Taylors (Lautner and Swift that is) spent more quality time together over the weekend in Los Angeles, even though neither one of them will admit they're dating. First, they were spotted having dinner together at Benihana in Beverly Hills before stopping for a frozen yogurt at Menchie's.
Benihana, a chain of Japanese hibachi steakhouses, was a solid choice for an awkward teenage date. They cook the food right at your table so when conversation runs low you can giggle at the "performing chefs". Menchie's was a good choice too, it's popular with the young Hollywood set, Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Amanda Bynes and Selena Gomez have all been known to stop in and it was voted the #1 frozen yogurt shop in L.A.
After their date night, the New Moon star reportedly visited Swift's dressing room at the Nokia Theatre Saturday while she performed at the annual Jingle Ball. Sources claim he seemed right at home with the singer's family and entourage, he was even spotted chatting up Taylor's mom while she was on stage. Unfortunately for the fans, Lautner never went into the audience nor did he watch Taylor perform from the side of the stage, instead he stayed hidden away in her dressing room all night.

It's A Cozy English Countryside Christmas For Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Now that that the New Moon juggernaut is slowing down, most of the cast is getting some time to relax too. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart just arrived back in L.A. last week but Rob's apparently already planning a romantic holiday getaway. According to OK! Magazine, Rob has been working on securing a cozy cottage in the English countryside where he and Kristen can spend some time alone. “He’s enlisted the help of his mom, Clare, to find a cottage where he and Kris can spend a few days together,” an insider revealed to OK! Magazine. “They [Rob's parents] think she’s perfect for Rob and told her they’d like her to join them for Christmas dinner,” the source added.
Not everyone can be luckily enough to have dinner with RPattz and his fam this Christmas but you can enjoy a relaxing holiday in the English countryside. Several U.K. agencies specialize in renting country cottages including the aptly named English Country Cottages which rents vacation homes in England, Scotland and Wales. Most of the cottages come equipped with all of the necessary creature comforts, like washer and dryers, TVs and full kitchens. You can see pictures, maps, rates and available dates for all of the homes offered by English Country Cottages on their website.

The 'New Moon' Cast Is Coming To A Mall Near You
Last year's "Twilight" mall tour at the Hollywood and Highland complex in Hollywood, Calif.
Twihards are going to have the opportunity to see the New Moon cast at their local mall this fall. Summit is sending the Twilight kids on a 15 city tour to promote the next installment of the saga. At each stop along the tour there will be a Q & A with "select" Twilight cast members, prizes and other surprises. Some of the events will also feature performances from bands on the New Moon soundtrack.
Summit is also giving some fans VIP credentials to special events with the cast. To get one of the coveted VIP wristbands, you have to be at the Hot Topic store in a participating mall by 8 a.m. on October 31. VIP credentials will be given to anyone who buys one of the store's limited edition New Moon Tour t-shirts while supplies last. Select Nordstrom stores will also be giving out passes for special New Moon events at participating malls on October 31. For more information visit, nordstrom.com/newmoon.
The tour kicks off at L.A.'s Hollywood & Highland Center on Friday, November 6. Death Cab for Cutie, Sea Wolf and Anya Marina will also be on hand performing songs from the New Moon soundtrack. We actually (totally randomly!) hit up last year's Twilight Mall Tour at the Hollywood & Highland and it was pure chaos. Even scarier, the mania for Twilight last year wasn't as bad as it is this year. So be prepared before you go for angry, emo, vampire-loving teens. Also, R-Patz and Kristen Stewart were not in attendance at many of these mall events.

Only A Few Days Left To Catch The 'Twilight' Cast in Vancouver
It's official; filming of Eclipse in Vancouver is coming to a close. On Tuesday, the movie's director, David Slade tweeted, "Just one week and a few days to go to complete principle photography, the finish line seems still so far." It probably can't come soon enough for Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who get stalked daily by fans and paparazzi. A higher up at Summit (the film's production company) told E!, "Civilians are flying in all over the world to hunt down whoever they can find. It's bad. Literally [Rob and Kristen] have no choice but to stay inside."
It's gotten so bad, the couple has reportedly holed up together at the Sheraton Wall Centre and spends most of their time watching movies or listening to music when they aren't filming. It sounds like they have a pretty sweet set up though so we don't feel too bad for them. Apparently, they have two separate hotels rooms joined by a door plus a third suite on the same floor where they can watch TV on a huge flat screen.

'Twilight's' Kristen Stewart Demonstrates How Not To Handle A Passport
With current hot starlets like Twilight's Kristen Stewart constantly flying out of LAX all the time, it's no wonder the paparazzi stake the place out. However, when Stewart flew back to Vancouver on Alaska Airlines to continue filming Eclipse after the weekend, she wasn't looking much like a starlet at all. In fact, she kinda resembled how we might look if we traveled after having been bailed out of jail after a fight with a bartender over the ratio of margarita mix and tequila. In other words: she don't look good.
On top of it, she is barely hanging onto that passport. Note to impressionable young international travelers: this is how not to handle your personal documents in public places. We're not asking you to wear a fanny pack or even get one of those hidden stash pocket things, but just don't be so careless with it. And with Kristen surrounded by grabby paparazzi, you'd think she'd be extra careful with her personal information. One slip while shuffling that heinous bag, and she's got no passport to return to filming in Canada and some guy has a new lot to add to the eBay.

Take A Spa Day With 'Twilight' Star Robert Pattinson In Vancouver
Will Twilight mania ever end? Based on the number of Twi-hards traveling to Vancouver to see the cast filming Eclipse, it won't end anytime soon. Just this past weekend, fans waited for hours outside of Bella's house on 28 Ave in Surrey while the movie's stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson filmed inside.
But for some fans, standing on the street in a Vancouver suburb isn't how they imagined their first encounter with Robert Pattinson. Maybe they'd prefer a luxury spa date instead? Apparently, the world's sexiest vampire enjoys getting pampered too. Pattinson has been spotted several times at the the posh Vida Wellness Spa at Sutton Place Hotel.
