My day has been made. (I may or may not have helped talk Jessica into posting this--she was afraid of the Twihards. In fact, I may or may not have suggested that GFY send any angry fans to me. BRING IT IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT. BECAUSE IF YOU BRING IT, I WILL POLITELY TELL YOU THAT SNARK IS KIND OF WHAT I DO AND IF IT DOESN'T SUIT YOU THEN YOU MAY BE HAPPIER READING ANOTHER JOURNAL, AND IT WILL BE BROUGHTEN.)

(On the EW site itself: 'Twilight' hits Hollywood; Stephenie Meyer's vampire empire. Meanwhile, the LA Times reports fan outrage at the tackiness of the cover. No, I'm not kidding.)

ETA: New ‘Twilight’ Footage Unveiled! at MTV, because it is the movie that keeps on giving.

Neil Gaiman has also benefited from free e-books.

'True Blood' Has Own Mythology. "Alan Ball, creator of HBO's new vampire drama True Blood, told SCI FI Wire that he didn't know too much about vampire movies or lore, so he created his own mythology." WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE BLITHELY WRITING ABOUT VAMPIRES WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THEM? IT TAKES FIVE MINUTES TO READ UP AT WIKIPEDIA, YOU GUYS. The least you can do is read up and then go, "Okay, I want to do it differently. But at least I know that I am doing it differently."

The Disappointment Of David Tennant [Doctor Who].

'Primeval' Is No 'Who' Clone; Fans Stoke 'Primeval.'

'Werewolf Women of the SS' Hits the Comic Book World!

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Racy Ad Campaign Makes Little Brother Jake Uncomfortable ("I'm in Heathrow, and there's a 12-foot picture of you upside down in a negligee").

The woman who decides what movies you get to see.

Images: Six New Badass Max Payne Promo Photos; See the Gort That Could Have Been (but why is he wearing high heels?); First Look At James Cameron's 'Avatar' Alien? ("I have to concur... that it looks far, far too much like a furry").

So glad that she mentioned the lipstick. SO GLAD.

Genuinely, last night, when I got my magazine, I had to turn it over so that the cover didn't creep me out.

What does it say that I've never even HEARD of Twilight?

I'm so unhip.

Oh, well, it seems twee. Or is that Twii?

Oh, man, if anything's ever deserved to make GFY, that cover is it.

Haha, YAY. Well done for talking them into it. It deserved a giant fugging.

P.S. Look at my latest journal entry - there's a raffle starting soon where one of the prizes is a keyboard Neil Gaiman used to write stuff and will sign for the winner. Also a ton of other fun stuff. :)

It's about a vampire who literally sparkles in the sunlight, and the emo teenage girl who loves him. I recapped a couple of the books in May. (http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/Twilight)

I linked to them yesterday. Basically, you see Victoria and James and Jacob and they all have terrible, terrible hair. The black and white shot is actually fairly nice, except that it looks like Edward's fantasy of killing Bella and hiding her in the woods.

because it is the movie that keeps on giving.

LOL! MTV better be careful. If they give away too much, the fans might be too bored to see the movie for the 2nd time when it finally comes out. Just sayin'... =P

I've been waiting for GFY to do that cover. Whoot!

That Doctor Who article ticks me off, since it's less that people hate David and want to see him leave, and more that he's going to inevitably going to be replaced and speculation keeps the show as hot as it is, tbh.

Also, Russell T. Davies, in response to your belief that AMY WINEHOUSE would be brilliant as the Doctor...I have none, because that is MIND BOGGLING.

Also, I don't know if you've heard the Mamma Mia soundtrack, but Pierce Brosnan has got a decent voice. I was shocked.

Dunno how closely you're following the "literary agent sues the whole innernets" story, but here's a fundraiser for the laundry list of defandants:

Some of us are also holding our own legal defense fundraisers and would be muchly grateful to appear in linkspam!

(Info about my own legal defense fund is here:

and

Big McThankies from McSpanky's! :D (And if you've already seen it/linked it, thanks!)

URGH. You getting the same impression I am looking at those, that the photographer thinks Bella's dim and Edward's creepy? 'Cause ... yeah.

I get the feeling that the entire staff of EW has it out for them (and I mostly just feel sorry for Stewart and Pattinson, who seem like troupers).

I think I posted a general link a while back, not legal defense funds--thanks.

I think you posted about it the day Wikipedia got the suit against them thrown out. (Hopefully the beginning of a trend for the rest of us...)

I do admit that I'd like to see a female Doctor. Though I'm fine with Tennant staying.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought about South Park upon seeing this headline.
