It’s been exactly one year since Twilight, the teenage-vampire book series turned film franchise, became a worldwide phenomenon, launching brooding, reluctant star Robert Pattinson into the celebrity stratosphere. Not since Leonardo DiCaprio’s Titanic era has there been a young actor so rabidly hunted by teenagers and paparazzi alike—enough that mere sightings of him with his co-star and rumored paramour Kristen Stewart make for international front-page news. For the cover story of Vanity Fair’s December issue, contributing editor Evgenia Peretz interviews Pattinson, Stewart, and a host of Twilight insiders for an intimate profile that describes how he landed the role of Edward Cullen, distills the essence of his appeal, and explores his discomfort with the hormone-fueled frenzy he inspires among his fans.

This isn't a review and I didn't feel like posting this on 4.0I've read this book when it first came out and I have to say it's pretty darn cute. Doesn't advocate anything really and is based on true story.

The “Harry Potter” books may be complete, but there are still three full length films coming, to make a whopping eight Harry Potter movies in total. The movie version of the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be in theaters at the end of this November. And the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was chock full of plot that sped by at a breakneck pace, is going to be split up into two films in order to cover all the stuff that happened.

Like any good geek, I'm a Harry Potter nut. And if you too are a Harry Potter nut, you're probably suffering the same withdrawals and anticipation for the next book, which is rumored to be the last in the series. If you have a mac, you can download the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown and News widget, which will serve as a daily reminder of the Potter delight that lies ahead.
