Ashley Greene Has the Party Scene Covered

PopSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Ashley Greene was in NYC last night to celebrate her December Maxim spread at the club Avenue. She gushed about the cover, saying, "I absolutely adore it and I don't think it could have come out any better for me. I'm very much a Jacksonville beach girl. I love jean shorts, T-shirts, the beach." It's been a busy week for Ashley, even though the rest of her New Moon costars are taking things easy after their successful box office debut. She was in an interesting outfit from Bottega Veneta's resort collection for her Monday appearance on the Late Show, where she opened up about being an accident prone child. Ashley's dedicated to doing as much promotion as she can for her blockbuster movie, but hopefully she'll settle in for the next few days to enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Ashley and Kellan Wrap Up Work on Record-Setting New Moon

PopSugar — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:52:00 -0800

After all of last week's excitement over New Moon, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz still had some final work and travel to do. She headed to Woodridge, IL for one more screening of their film on Friday, while Kellan took off from NYC to LAX following their late night out celebrating. Ashley, Kellan and all their costars got a very pleasant surprise this weekend when their movie broke all sorts of box office records, but after all their hard work they should be ready for some relaxation.

New Moon: Love Triangle and New Additions Live Up to Hype

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:00:00 -0800

The wait is almost over, as New Moon hits our cinemas on Friday! The huge anticipation for the second installment of the Twilight saga puts a great amount of pressure on it, but I'm pleased to report it lives up to the hype. The story starts with Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) 18th birthday, and the rivalry between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is set up from the outset. The three leads all bring intensity and passion to their roles once again, and there are several stand-out performances from the supporting cast.

To find out more about the movie, and see tons of stills from the film, just read more.

An incident at Bella's party leads Edward and the Cullens to leave Forks and a heartbroken and hunted Bella behind. Jacob and Bella's friendship deepens as she becomes an adrenaline junkie and Jacob undergoes his own major changes. The ancient battle between vampires and werewolves is reignited, and we learn more about the hierarchy as the action moves to the Volturi in Italy. The film benefits from the change in location, and the additional characters raise the excitement levels and keep the saga moving forward.

The addition of the Wolf Pack and the Volturi bring depth and context to the battles between individuals. Jacob and his boys spend most of the second half of the movie shirtless, but it's not all bare torsos, as the back story of Sam (Chaske Spencer) adds another dimension to the dangers Bella faces. Dakota Fanning shines in her small part as subtly sinister Volturi guard Jane, and Michael Sheen is impressive as Aro. Michael Welch also deserves special mention for bringing some much need humour to the film as Mike, another of Bella's suitors who frankly doesn't stand a chance when faced with Edward and Jacob as competition.

New Moon definitely puts Jacob in the spotlight, and the lack of Cullens airtime will disappoint Team Edward fans. I found the first half of Twilight dragged a bit and the sequel follows the same formula of a slower beginning, but it has more action than the original and the running time of 130 minutes doesn't feel quite as long as the first film (although it could do with being tightened up). The deeper storyline of the love triangle and the new characters ensures the second film in the saga goes further than the first, and fans will find plenty to adore.

Get yourself in the mood for New Moon by checking out the first, second and third trailers, and by reading my interviews with the cast. Are you planning on seeing it on Friday?

Kristin Is Team Jacob and a Comeback Queen

Molly — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:00:08 -0800

Kristin Cavallari showed off her love for Team Jacob with her water bottle as she stopped off at the Trina Turk boutique to shop with a friend in LA yesterday - get her look here. She's at odds with Team Edward member Ashley Tisdale as Hollywood divides along those very important party lines. New Moon is out now, so perhaps she'll be among the many fans who make it a big opening weekend for the movie. Kristin had her own success to celebrate this week when she was named Comeback of the Year on Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood List.

Happy Hour: Twilight

partysugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:13:04 -0800

Well, folks, the moment everyone's been waiting for is here. The second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon, finally comes out today. Whether you're dying to see it or excited that the hype surrounding it will die down, there's only one way to celebrate - with a cocktail! Not just any boring old drink, but an aptly named concoction created by one of San Francisco's illustrious bar owners, Jon Gasparini. A couple of weeks ago when Jon (of one of my favorite bars, Rye) tweeted about a new cocktail called Twilight, I knew I needed the recipe.

Jon describes it as having a beautiful color and balance, and I couldn't agree more. The complex gin and Prosecco drink is easy to put together and elegant enough to serve at a Thanksgiving dinner or holiday soirée. To get his recipe, read more.

Twilight
From Jon Gasparini of Rye

Ingredients

3/4 ounce creme de violette
1 1/2 ounces gin
dash orange bitters
dash simple syrup or agave syrup
1 ounce Prosecco or other sparkling wine

Directions

Combine the violette, gin, bitters, and sweetener in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Strain into a chilled Champagne coup and top with the Prosecco.

Makes 1 drink.
