New Moon Update: R-Patz and K-Stew up in a tree…

Don’t cry, girls. No one said that life was fair. We felt the same way after the director of New Moon confirmed that the pouty leads, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, are in fact dating in real life, unscripted. Enjoy, Kristen! We’ll try not to hate you too much.
Bet you’ve got your New Moon tickets already! Don’t be embarrassed. We’re not here to judge.
I’m curious about New Moon. I suffered through all four books of the over-hyped Twilight series last winter and was quite disappointed, with the exception of the gorgeous male lead, with the first film. It was low budget and rife with cliché teenage angst. Just like the written version. Maybe that’s what some people like about the books, though? So, if the best part of the first film was Robert-as-Edward, then I’m definitely not rushing to see the second film, especially since, in the book anyway, Edward isn’t even around for much of New Moon.
As you’ll remember, the second novel opens with a severely depressed Bella moping around Forks with a perma-frown as she longs for Edward, who is in Italy. And who stays in Italy for most of the story. Except for a few hallucinations in which Bella stupidly puts herself into danger and sees a vision of Edward’s lovely face just when she think she might die (she doesn’t), he’s pretty much M.I.A.
With Edward gone, Bella starts using Jacob (who is actually a werewolf) as her understudy boyfriend. They hang out, go for motorcycle rides. Jacob falls in love. Bella doesn’t. She’s still pining for Edward, even as she and Jacob become more buddy-buddy. It’s not until the end of New Moon that Edward resurfaces again. At least the moviemakers chose a sexy (edit: very sexy) actor to play Jacob. Good move, casting crew. You know us well!
True or false: Based on the New Moon trailers, Jacob looks sexier with his crew cut than with his shoulder-grazing hair? I say “true.” Those abs make our eyes rejoice, too. Lucky girl, that Taylor Swift is, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now that she’s dating the actor who plays Jacob, who also happens to be named Taylor (Lautner).
Also true, it’s kind of weird to date someone who has the same name as you. But in the case of Swift and Lautner, we get to nickname them “TayTay” – and that’s a catchy name we’re definitely into!

Nothing has been confirmed on TayTay or Robsten officially, Its all still just rumors at this point, and yes Twilight was a BIG disappointment, and yes Eclipse was my least favorite book, but Im still excited to see it tonight, because they changed Directors and put more money into it, and they even got another A-list actor in it, Dakota Fanning. So Ill be there with 100′s of others 3 hours early tonight waiting in line to get a decent seat. Enjoy everyone.
