TWILIGHT ODDS AND ENDS WEDNESDAY 4/15/09

We’ve got a somewhat short, but very good set of odds and ends for you today. Ted Casablanca wonders out loud if a potential hook-up between Rob and Kristen would help or hurt New Moon, Drew Barrymore talks about ‘almost’ directing Eclipse, Peter Facinelli is set to attend the London Film and Comic Con, and more:

Drew Barrymore Talks About Almost Directing ‘Eclipse’

• Drew Barrymore may have made the shortlist of directors up for the chance to helm “Eclipse,” the third installment of the “Twlight” franchise, but that distinction reportedly may go to Juan Antonio Bayona.

I adore that project and I adore the team that’s making it,” she said. “And I am very honored to now be a director and going up for other movies and being offered other movies as a director. I’m now an actor/producer/director! How lucky am I!” Read more here.
