Stephenie Meyer’s “The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner”

Given the fanfare and publicity typically granted Stephenie Meyer whenever she types or breathes a new word, the famous author has been relatively quiet about this Saturday’s release of her “Twilight” novella, “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.” But thanks to a Q&A posted on TheTwilightSaga.com by publisher Little Brown, fans now have a little more insight into why Meyer focused this book on the character Bree, and why she wants fans to read the story before they go see “Eclipse” in a few weeks.

Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has written some great love stories during her impressive career, but her Twilight scripts brought us Robsten, the biggest offscreen and onscreen couple there is!
And although it was Stephenie Meyer who originally penned the Twilight vamp books, Rosenberg’s scripts—arguably lacking as they may be—have made the movie series what it is, for better or for worse.
Rosenberg recently answered some questions about her work, and she confirmed and elaborated about the utter deliciousness that is our favorite couple:

Rosenberg recently participated in a Q&A at the University of Southern California, and one of our Twi-hard spies got some deets straight from the writer herself.
When Rosenberg was asked what it was like to be responsible for the filmic love-story phenomenon of the time, she told the audience that Rob and Kristen’s hot stuff is pretty special.
In fact, she said their chemistry is like “lighting in a bottle”—such poetic words that only a writer would use to describe sexy Robsten love! Or are we overreacting with our Robsten adoration here?
Clearly not.
When Rosenberg (who really could be a Geena Davis doppelganger) answered the query, she practically trembled with oozing excitement when she discussed Rob and Kristen. Even though she was doing her writerly best to remain cool.
And although Rosenberg admitted she doesn’t “pay attention” to the offscreen happenings of the cast, she stated that she “really lucked out” having the chance to pen amorous happenings for the gorgeous young real-life couple.
Indeed, Rosenberg added that she “couldn’t have asked for anything better” than to have that very opportunity.
Uh, great and all, but we still say we’d like to see what Diablo Cody could have done with the hotness that is Robsten.

Dear Ted:
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are no longer BFFs, according to Demi in a Q&A session with her fans, via Twitter. What happened?
—K
Dear So Dunzo:
Maybe Selena got as annoyed as us hearing Demi gush about Joe Jonas all the time and finally kicked her to the curb. Or maybe, like most Disney BFFships, their fight for top darling (now that Miley is trying to ditch her mouse ears) got between the previously tight twosome. We hear the former more than the latter.
Dear Ted:
OK, so what’s up with Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift going to lunch together with their publicist—and not to mention the day after she hangs with Cory! Please tell me they were just talking about an upcoming project!

Dear Lunch Date:
Ugh, please tell me they’re not dishing on an upcoming project. I don’t know what would be worse—T.L. joining T.S. in a duet for the Breaking Dawn soundtrack or an

A lot of ink has been spilled discussing the immense pressure James Cameron must have felt after “Titanic” became the all-time box-office champ and then he didn’t release any proper feature films. Now, just a few short weeks before Cameron’s “Avatar” hits theaters, the filmmaker and his stars sat down with MTV for an exclusive live-stream Q&A. As they took questions from the fans, Sam Worthington gave thanks that all that attention on the director took the expectations off people like him.
