Ben Barnes Talks About his Audition for the Role of Edward Cullen

Thousands of actors auditioned for the role of 'Edward Cullen'. Catherine Hardwick (Director of "Twilight") revealed Ben Barnes was one of the finalist to snatch the role. In an interview, he reveals how his audition was, there he mentions Rob.

"Speaking of playing vampires, "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke says you were one of the final four actors to be considered for the role of Edward Cullen. We all know that Robert Pattinson ended up getting the role, but what were your "Twilight" auditions like?

There were quite a few auditions. I was the first person they kind of approached about it. It was all right. I very quickly read the first ["Twilight"] book. I really enjoyed it. I think Kristen Stewart is great. I think she’s a really good actress. And I really like Catherine Hardwicke.

But then there were two things: First off, they didn’t want to mix "Narnia" and "Twilight." I think it’s dangerous to mix characters from franchises while you’re doing one. So she definitely didn’t want Prince Caspian being Edward Cullen. It doesn’t make sense. And secondly, I’d still be shooting at age 30, playing 17, and nobody wants to see that. That would be kind of sad.

And course you wouldn’t want the kind of craziness with fans and paparazzi that Robert Pattinson has to deal with in his life.

So true!"

Ryan Seacrest Reads New Moon: Bella's B-day Party

Oh Ryan and his funny ways. He read On-Air a piece of the book "New Moon" in a very comical way.
Oh, and by the way, we're still waiting for that "Amazing" info he has of New Moon, so I hopes he hurries and dishes whatever he knows.

Nordstrom Offers New Moon Merchandise

While we wait for Nov 20th to arrive for the premiere of 'New Moon'...we might as well start preparing with NM jewelry, T-shirts, make up, perfume, etc. Nordstrom.com have available very cool New Moon T-shirts expressing your passion for either "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob". The make up "Twilight Luna" is available for pre-order .

I'm personally loving the T-shirts and also curious on how the make up is going to be...On the premiere I'll be wearing Venom lip gloss or Femme Fatale Lip gloss they look like they can make your lips look very inviting, which is what I'm going for if I have the chance to see Rob-boil-my-blood-Pattinson.

Driving Like a Cullen = Speeding Ticket

Among my family and friends, I've always been known as a real fast driver. I've always driven at least 80mph on the freeway, and if there aren't that many cars around on the road, I step it up a notch by going 95-100mph. But, the whole time that I'm driving at those speeds, I'm praying to God that I wont get pulled over by the police, because in California, the speeding tickets could go over $1,500. Thats quite a lot for a person who is pretty broke. But for some reason, my brain doesn't register that and still goes to that speed. Up to the date, I've been lucky enough to have gotten away with it. Ever since I read Twilight and learned how much Edward loves his speed and vehicles, I've considered myself a Cullen Driver.


Now, Forks Washington seem to have a different effect on people and the lack of fear for those speeding tickets. The Police in that famous town have been really busy giving out tickets to Twilighters.

"Police in the little town are noticing that fans are cruising

for a wallet bruising during their visits by purposefully trying to get a ticket!

“The last 16 tickets I gave out were to Twilight fans,” says Field Deputy Bill Cortani of the county sheriff’s office. “And they were actually loving the experience. Normally people are not happy about the experience. But some Twilight fans feel this is all part of the Twilight experience.”

“It’s strange, but I do have people wanting to get speeding tickets from the Forks police department,” he says. Some have gone to even greater lengths for that small piece of paper: “I’ve had people flash me to get an indecent exposure ticket.” So far, “it’s only been women.”

 Is this hilarious or what? At least the Fork Police Station is not bored by the craziness that Twilight have brought among its fans. This might sound crazy from me as well, but I'll probably do the same thing....Of course counting that the penalty for speeding tickets aren't that much and be able to have the means to pay for it.
