We at Twilighters Anonymous, are really excited to bring you constant coverage from Vampire Baseball on the 4th of July! You can tune in starting at 2pm Pacific Standard Time tomorrow for live twitter updates, constant picture updates and even live interviews from the cast. TA will have someone there to make sure you don’t miss a minute of the Vampire Baseball fun!
Vampire Baseball is taking place in Portland, Oregon and will benefit the Make-a-Wish® Foundation of Oregon. A real baseball game will be held and you can look forward to a star-studded July 4th celebration, filled with many stars from Twilight and New Moon. Stars attending include: Rachelle Lefevre, Edi Gathegi, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Michael Welch, Christian Serratos, Solomon Trimble, Alex Meraz, Ayanna Berkshire and Catherine Grimme.
Radar Online has a great interview with Peter Facinelli as he makes his way to Vampire Baseball in an RV with his whole family. He talks about driving, filming The Twilight Saga and his family.
Peter Facinelli is on a family road trip driving up the West Coast in an RV with Jennie Garth and their three daughters heading to the Vampire Baseball Game in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, July 4. As Carlisle Cullen, Peter has become a Twilight fan favorite and RadarOnline.com spoke with him Friday while he took a break from driving and Jennie cooked up bacon and eggs for the family breakfast in the RV.
RadarOnline.com: How is the trip going? Peter Facinelli: It’s really pretty; I’m sitting outside the motor home park right now it’s really beautiful. There’s no coast but it’s beautiful. It looks a lot like Twilight. There are lots of big tall pine trees.
RO: Are you a safe driver? PF: Well I had a rough patch last month, I got four tickets in three weeks all for different things, I was some kind of police magnet, I don’t know why. I’m going to fight all of them; you never want to admit you’re wrong. I should go there in person and fight all of them.
RO: Tell us about the baseball game tomorrow? PF: We’re going to test our vampire baseball skills in front of a large crowd and I think a lot of people are going to find out that a lot of the cast member s don’t know how to throw a ball and they just made us look good. The Make-A-Wish Foundation asked if I would play and I thought it was for a really good cause. I like doing charity events because I think it’s important to give back. I played baseball when I was younger but I haven’t played in a long time, so it should be fun. I hope Rachelle’s on my team. She’s the one with the wicked curve ball, right? I don’t know, I’m showing up with my old oiled glove and waiting to see where the coach puts me. I don’t even know who the coach is. I might be the coach for all I know. I think Carlisle should definitely be the coach. The difference is tomorrow there are no special effects, whatever speed we run and however we hit the ball is the real deal. We’re going to have no stunt doubles tomorrow.
RO: What do your girls think about Daddy getting recognized on the street? PF: I think they’re getting used to it. It’s a little time consuming but I just try to give back to the fans. When I was growing up and I went over to the guy to get an autograph and he said no because they were too busy you would go home with that, so I try to really go out of my way to make sure that I’m good to the fans because they’ve been so good to us.
RO: Are you looking forward to getting back to Vancouver? PF: Yeah, it’s so quick. It’s like a blink of an eye and we’re shooting the third one already. I had a little time this summer to hang with my family, then we’re going to New York to see my folks, and then I think we’re going to Hawaii for a week. I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with my family because in August I’m busy with the clips and then I’m going to do the second season of Nurse Jackie.
RO: Have you read the script for the third movie? PF: No, I haven’t. I’m supposed to be getting it next week.
RO: Is there anything you would change for your character? PF: I wish that he didn’t disappear so much. I would have had him go to Italy and do more. He knows the all the Volturi and he could have helped smooth things over. Maybe had a cappuccino with them and said “Hey, you know, this isn’t cool.” And I don’t want to give it away for people who haven’t read the fourth book, but like any typical doctor when the baby is due, he’s not there. He’s off on the ninth hole somewhere playing golf; I was like, what’s going on?
RO: What is filming like, do you have a good time? PF: We like to be around each other. We hang out a lot together after work. For me it’s very much like a family, I like being with them and I like when we’re all together. Especially when we’re all in scenes together, that’s always fun. It’s a good cast; it’s a good bunch of people. We all like each other so that’s important. Rachelle is the tour guide when we’re up there, she’s Canadian and she tells us all the good places to go.
Peter is so funny! I wonder how he got four tickets in three weeks, that is just crazy. I really think it’s cool he’s driving up with his family, what a great way to spend time together.

Knoxville.com is reporting that there will be a fundraiser event/premiere for the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, which will take place in Knoxville, TN. The details don’t specify a date, ticket prices, or even who will attend, but they’re hoping to find out more soon. Read more below:
The dawn of a new “Twilight” will bring star power to Knoxville this November when “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the sequel to the 2008 breakout film “Twilight,” is premiered at Regal Cinemas’ Pinnacle 18 at Turkey Creek in advance of its scheduled Nov. 20 release.
Although confirmation of the Knoxville premiere of the movie is set, several key details are yet to be determined, including ticket prices, just which star or stars of the movie will come to town, and even the date of the event.
“I’m hoping to have the details pinned down within 30 to 60 days,” said Greg Dunn, chief operating officer of Regal Entertainment Group.
Since 2003, Regal has annually presented a major-film premiere in Knoxville to benefit Variety - The Children’s Charity of Eastern Tennessee. In every case, the top-billed stars have come, including Brendan Fraser and Josh Hutcherson for 2008’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” Jessica Alba and Dane Cook for 2007’s “Good Luck Chuck,” Will Ferrell for 2006’s “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott for 2005’s “Dukes of Hazzard,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for 2004’s “Walking Tall,” and Cuba Gooding Jr. for 2003’s “Radio.”
No matter who ends up in Knoxville for the “Twilight” sequel, Dunn said this premiere is “probably the biggest fundraiser we’ve had to date.”
Dena Pinsker, executive director of Variety, agreed. “I think (it) is just going to be extraordinary. … All the (’Twilight’) stars are fantastic crowd-pleasers,” she said.
Now judging from the article (and their past fundraiser premieres) , this will not be the premiere, but rather a premiere. There are no further details at this point, but the event sounds like it will be a fundraiser and not the sole location for the U.S. premiere. We will update you on this further once details are made available.
What do you think about this fundraiser event? Will you go out of your way to try to attend this?
TA fan Ashley shares the details of her trip to Forks:
Getting to Forks, by Ashley.
Forks. The very name screams rain, mythical beings, and love among the spruce trees. To twihard Twilighters, there is no greater mecca; one’s experience of the Twilight story, I daresay, is incomplete without visiting the otherwise inconsequential town on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state where the saga began. Having finished the novels for a second time, I decided in mid-January that Forks was my spring break destination of choice—though my mother took some convincing. Her visions of an exotic London vacation did not die without a fight, and it took some ingenuity on my part (I was not beyond scattering random Twilight paraphernalia creatively around the house) to assure her that it was either Forks or nothing for me. She at last agreed, God bless her, and began reading the series in preparation for our little pilgrimage.
I had originally intended to write a large exposition on our trip, complete with pointers, interesting facts, and experiences. It was when I reached the sixth page of type and realized I had only made it through 24 hours when I decided that that was a project for another time. So I decided instead to simply explain one aspect of the trip, a subject easily overlooked, yet absolutely essential in enjoying your Twilight in Forks experience: actually getting to Forks.
OME, I laughed so much whilst watching this video. The “I can still see you now” and the whole Jake turning into a guinea pig! So hilarious!! This is one brilliant parody, one of the best I’ve seen so far!
Did you like this parody? What was your favorite bit of this parody?
E! Online recently caught up with some of the Twilight cast members to talk about a possible fourth movie in the franchise, and while one caster said he’s only signed on for three, another member sang a different tune:
“I haven’t seen a page,” exclaimed Ashley Greene, who’s heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.
Even though we’re getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what’s in store for the final movie.
Read on:
“All I know is that, as of now, I only signed on to do three,” B.B. told us. Coyly played Billy.
But Breaking Dawn isn’t exactly as far away as you all would think.
“We’re going to start right after Eclipse,” says Ash.
So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?
“I don’t think so,” says Ms. Greene. “[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet.”
And as much as everyone adored Chris, that’s not going to happen because of “scheduling conflicts,” we’re told.
I find this all very interesting. I would (sorry in advance) like to point out that there is no official confirmation that the fourth film will be made, and that we should all just sit tight until we hear any final word from Summit Entertainment. Aside from that though, I’ll just say that you can find me weeping in the corner that Chris Weitz’s reported scheduling conflicts may keep him from returning for Breaking Dawn.
What do you think of this new report? Who would you like to see direct the fourth film if it happens?
TA Staff member Emily is back with chapter 15 of Twilight:
Chapter Fifteen - The Cullens By Emily
After a physically and emotionally eventful date, Bella wakes up to find that she is living a dream come true, complete with her very own Prince Charming waiting for her. Chapter Fifteen, “The Cullens”, marks the beginning of Bella and Edward as an official couple as they take the next step in their relationship – the formal introduction of Bella to Edward’s family.
Waking up from her groggy state, Bella is pleasantly surprised to find that Edward had stayed the night with her and is currently sitting in the rocking chair. She enthusiastically jumps into his welcome arms before she takes a human moment to clean herself up for the day. In the bathroom, she is shocked to see how happy and bright she looks in her reflection in the mirror – the simple result of being in love.

Twilight Twibble Contest- August Quote Is Up!
What is a Twibble you may ask…..it’s a Twilight Drabble – or what we like to call, Twibble! For those of you who aren’t familiar with drabbles, a drabble is a work of fiction that is extremely short, less than 1000 words long. Drabble contests allow an author to test their skills at expressing interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space. In our Twibble Contest, you will be given a quote from the Twilight Saga and you must use that quote somewhere in your twibble. For our purposes, a twibble can be no longer than 250 words and must be related to the Twilight universe. Each month’s winner will be given some TA bookmarks. Come and enter our Twibble Contest, click here.

MTV Predicts Who Will Be On The List Of Highest Paid Actresses In 10 Years
Forbes has ranked the highest paid actresses, and while that list has no Twilight connection, MTV made a guess at who will be the highest paid actresses in ten years. To see their list, click here.
Back in 1999, Twilight star Michael Welch, who plays Mike Newton, appeared on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger with none other than Chuck Norris. Fast forward ten years and he’s starring in one of the year’s biggest films with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, Robert Pattinson. In what is quite possibly one of the weirdest interviews ever, Celebuzz asks the question that everyone is (not) really interested in hearing the answer to…who’s better: Robert Pattinson or Chuck Norris?
Who smells better? “Robert Pattinson…he smells like heaven.”
Who has a better beard? “You gotta go Chuck Norris with the beard. Nothing beats that thing.”
Who looks better in tight jeans? “That becomes a matter of taste at that point because you can’t beat Walker in a tight pair of pants, but Rob… I guess I gotta go with Rob [laughs].”
Who’d win in a fight? “I have to go with Edward Cullen, although you know Walker was pretty invincible, but I don’t think that Walker’s fractured slow-mo could save him against Edward. In fact, in real life Rob’s no slouch in the ring. He could take somebody, but Chuck, I don’t quite think so.”
And naturally, Celebuzz wants to know who you think would win in a fight: Edward Cullen or Chuck Norris. To weigh in on this faux battle, click here.
(Thanks Noor)
Chuck, I’m sure you could win against Rob in a fight but you’re no match for Edward Cullen. Sorry, bud. Stick to the title of having the best beard.
