A new still from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 was originally featured in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly ..
Jack Morrissey , Bill Condon's partner ) has explained a few details about what's going on in the image.
In his latest "Team Jack" Q&A, Morrissey explained that these vamps are "trading war stories, after the snow starts to stick." The Romanians and some of the new witness vampires are among those sharing tales, he explained.
This would make a great deal of sense to those of us who've read Stephenie Meyer's The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide since in that book the backstories involving both the Romanians and the Egyptians against the Volturi were explained. Good to know some of this material will be included and alluded to, right?
The picture shows some of the new Breaking Dawn - Part 2 vampires sitting around a campfire with the Cullens. Included in the pic (from left to right) are Amun (Omar Metwally), Kebi (Andrea Gabriel), unknown, Tanya (MyAnna Buring), Garrett (Lee Pace), Kate (Casey LaBow), Vladimir (Noel Fisher), Stefan (Guri Weinberg), Carmen (Mia Maestro), Eleazar (Christian Camargo), Emmmett (Kellan Lutz), Rosalie (Nikki Reed), Esme (Elizabeth Reaser), Liam (Patrick Brennan), Siobhan (Lisa Howard), Maggie (Marlane Barnes), Zafrina (Judi Shekoni), and Senna (Tracey Heggins).
Robert Pattinson's next film, Mission: Black List #1's book is available for Kindle readers :))

The story is well known by now: stay-at-home mom from Arizona writes books at night while her husband and children sleep. Her books sell wildly, and soon she is the top selling author in the world. Yes, the world.
Her books are made into movies, and she becomes wealthy. Her characters enter the lexicon of everyday language: Bella and Edward become as well known as the Scarecrow and Tin Man.
How can this happen to someone who was just “writing for fun”? Will she ever be able to repeat her success? What happens to an average woman who suddenly finds herself wealthy beyond her dreams?
And, why are Bella and Edward and their family and friends so popular?
This is story of Stephenie Meyer, of course, author of “Twilight,” “New Moon,” ”Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn,” which tell the vampire love story of teenage Bella and ages-old Edward, who appears in the books as a high school student.
And, it is, indeed, a fascinating one, with many questions to be asked and answered. And it’s a particularly relevant Arizona State University story since Meyer was a student at ASU, albeit briefly, and once readily agreed to speak to a class taught by James Blasingame, associate professor of English at ASU.
To answer all of these questions, and many more, Blasingame, who specializes in young adult literature, decided to write a book about Meyer and the “Twilight” phenomena.
For various reasons it turned out to be a “rush job,” so he recruited two of his former doctoral students, Kathleen Deakin and Laura A. Walsh, to help him write the book.
Blasingame had put in a proposal for the book, and Scarecrow Press had accepted it. But before he could write the book he suffered a mild heart attack, and then had a burst appendix while he was hunting on the Kaibab Plateau, on the Grand Canyon North Rim.
“I received a note from the publisher saying, ‘We have to have this book – the last movie is about to come out. Can you get some help?’”
Blasingame turned to Deakin and Walsh and they divided the work. “Kathy and Laura split up the books and movies and I did everything else,” Blasingame said. “We finished it in three months.”
The book, “Stephenie Meyer: In the Twilight,” opens with a chapter on “How a Young Phoenix Housewife Became the World’s Most Celebrated Author in Her Spare Time,” and includes a critical analysis of the “Twilight” Series; a look at the characters, setting, theme, style, conflict and motif of each of the four “Twilight” books, plus two other books and a short story by Meyer: “”The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner,” Midnight Sun,” and “Hell on Earth”; and a brief discussion of the “Twilight” movies. The book concludes with an examination of Meyer’s life in the public sphere.
“Stephenie Meyer” also covers criticism of the books, such as that offered by fantasy writer Stephen King – whose own books had been roundly mocked by literary critic Harold Bloom..............
Hypable is doing a series of interviews with various YA authors this summer. Jenny Han referenced Twilgiht During her interview.What is one YA book that is out now that you wish was out when you were a teen?I liked The Babysitter’s Club but then I also started reading Flowers in the Attic and Stephen King when I was really young. I wish there had been more adventure or scary stories that were age appropriate for me. I wish I had things like The Hunger Games or Twilight because you are ready to read that and it is an appropriate story for teens.

but with these new additions to the roster, we’re even more excited for
this thing. The 2012 Do Something! Awards will air on VH1 on Tuesday,
August 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and it’s not too late to vote for your
favorite do-gooder celebs right here. To find out who’s nominated and what else to expect at the show, check out the press release below.
The upcoming musical comedy Pitch Perfect boasts a funny trailer, writer Kay Cannon of 30 Rock, and Elizabeth Banks and her husband as producers. Oscar nominee Anna Kendrickstars as Beca Mitchell, a college freshman who reluctantly joins an all-girls competitive a cappella group. Brittany Snow, who showed off her musical abilities in Hairspray, also joins a cast that includes the hilarious Rebel Wilson of Bridesmaids and Adam DeVine ofWorkaholics.
I traveled to the Baton Rouge, LA, set of Pitch Perfect last November and caught up with Anna and Brittany between takes of a competition scene. I found myself dancing along while watching the women perform their a cappella mashup of “The Sign” by Ace of Base, “Eternal Flame” by The Bangles, and “Turn the Beat Around.” Somehow, those songs worked together!
Just keep reading for my conversation with Anna and Brittany, who told me that songs by Coolio and Etta James are among their favorite to sing.
You show off your singing skills in this movie. What’s your favorite song to sing?
Brittany Snow: My karaoke go-to is “Gangster’s Paradise” by Coolio. That’s what I usually do, and B-52′s “Love Shack.”
Anna Kendrick: I like that song. My answer sounds stupid now, but that Etta James song “I Just Want to Make Love to You.” When she says, “All I want to do is cook your bread,” it’s this weird reverse sexism thing that makes me . . .
Brittany: What? She what?
Tell me about your characters and their role in the singing group The Bellas.
Brittany: I play Chloe, an original member of The Bellas. She’s going to be a senior, and she takes over the reigns to bring in new Bellas. She is kind of the optimistic one. She likes the group of misfits that we encounter and is more positive about the diversity of their expertise, even though sometimes it’s a little weird. She thinks it’s funny, and she really likes Beca, Anna’s character, and they have a connection from the beginning.
Anna: I play Beca, and I come in sort of dealing with some anger issues. I think a cappella’s pretty lame, but I’m really interested in music. I find myself coming around to it and staying for the girls more than anything.
