Ruby Jerins is one lucky little girl....

TwiCrackAddict posted this - and I *THOUGHT* that was her....

Super-sleuth Joel found a connection between the little girl who plays RPattz's sister in Remember Me and also plays 'Grace' from Nurse Jackie.



According to IMDB, Ruby Jerins appears in several episodes of Nurse Jackie alongside Peter Facinelli.


Allen Coulter, the director of Remember Me & the pilot episode of Nurse Jackie casted her for both roles

My own personal vampire.... the allure of the dark side...

My husband says I am obsessed with vampires.... I reply "I'm not... I just really liked Twilight...." and he says "and now True Blood?" well... yess.... "but it's more adult than Twilight" good... and then he says "and what about Buffy?" ok, he's got me.... the allure is there.... "i was a kid then dear!" nice try Mandy, totally busted....

I never *thought* i had a vampire obsession.... but it seems I do.... From Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel the tortured soul... well... souless.... I was hooke don the magic, darkness, mystery of the vampire life... so much I really imagined how it would "BE" if vampires truly exsisted...

then came Twilight, and if you're reading this, well, you all know how that went ;)

recently True Blood got me hooked, and as often happens, once I am hooked I force everyone else to try it and they become hooked too!!!

It's become an obsession, or maybe more of an escape.... I mean, there aren't any "REAL" vampires are there?

Maybe.

I dated a vampire... omg I can't believe I am going to share this.. imagine he reads this...

I was 15 or 16... he joined a rec centre teen committee I chaired and his name was JR... as in "Jay-Are" not "junior"

he had blonde hair which he slicked back and always wore all black.... people joked he was a vampire... he had the fangs... but people have fangs.... he confessed that he was allergic to the sunlight (this was true, he couldn't be out in the sun for long with out breaking out in hives) and also to garlic... LOL.. i never tested this - we only dated a month or so....

he wrote me poetry, worshipped the ground I walked on and was seemingly a perfect man, besides the fact that he creeped everyone out...

if vampires exsisted, i would have believed he was a vampire except for one thing...

we sang a duet one night, the Grease Soundtrack.... I don't think vampires like Grease... but I could be wrong...

Anyways, that was my "vampire" experience.... I am going to go hide in my closet while you all laugh....

Anyways - what is the ALLURE of vampires?

TwiCrackAddict posted this from NY Times:

“The vampire is the new James Dean,” said Julie Plec, the writer and executive producer of “The Vampire Diaries,” a forthcoming series on the CW network based on the popular L. J. Smith novels about high school femmes and hommes fatales. “There is something so still and sexy about these young erotic predators,” she said.

This generation of undead prowls high school hallways and dimly lighted dance clubs as menacing — and as seductive — as they have ever been. The June premiere of the second season of “True Blood,” in which Sookie, played by Anna Paquin, is reunited with her imperious fanged suitor, drew 3.4 million viewers, making it HBO’s most-watched program since the “Sopranos” finale in 2007.

Charlaine Harris has just published “Dead and Gone,” the ninth novel in her Sookie Stackhouse series, variations on Southern Gothic fiction on which “True Blood” is based. The publishing world has been intrigued by “The Strain,” a first installment in a planned trilogy written by the film director Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, about bloodthirsty predators run amok in Manhattan.

The style world, too, has come under the vampire’s spell, in the shape of the gorgeous leather- and lace-clad night crawlers who have crept into the pages of fashion glossies.

Vampires, of course, are part of a hoary tradition that harks back to Nosferatu and Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” at least. Anne Rice updated the genre, introducing the ghoulishly aristocratic vampire Lestat. But the undead are returning with a vengeance, in part because they “personify real-world anxieties,” said Michael Dylan Foster, an assistant professor in the department of folklore at Indiana University in Bloomington.

“Especially during these post-9/11 times of increased vigilance, representations like the ‘Twilight’ series reflect a kind of conspiracy-theory mentality, a fear that there is something secret and dangerous going on in our own community, right under our noses.”

Given all that baggage, what keeps vampires so alluring?

One might point to their combination of deathless good looks and decadent sexuality. Their faces, as described in “Twilight,” “were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you never expected to see except perhaps on the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine.”

Breaking Dawn filming starts sooner than we think?

Not that this is the most reliable source, but.... E!Oneline says:

After Robert Pattinson confirmed he was signed on for the fourth Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, back in Cannes, we've all been dying for more juicy deets on the hypersexualized film. (More on exactly how much naughtier the flick will be, next week.)

Yes, we know we're getting overeager since the script for the third flick, Eclipse, which starts shooting Aug. 17, hasn't even been finished yet.

"I haven't seen a page," exclaimed Ashley Greene, who's heading back up to Vancouver to shoot the third Twi flick this summer.

Even though we're getting a tad ahead of ourselves, we tried to pry any dirt out of Ashley and Billy Burke last weekend on what's in store for the final movie.

All I know is that, as of now, I only signed on to do three," B.B. told us. Coyly played Billy. Maybe he's just trying to keep all Twi dirt on the down-low, or it could be that the secondary castmembers haven't started negotiations. Rob and Kristen Stewart are locked in (after so much drama you have no idea—but you're not interested in that, right?), so that's all that matters.

But Breaking Dawn isn't exactly as far away as you all would think.

"We're going to start right after Eclipse," says Ash.

That doesn't come as surprise to us, as we exclusively told you how Summit would be pumping out this franchise as fast as possible to avoid any "bumps" in the road.

So will we see any repeat directors for the fourth film?

"I don't think so," says Ms. Greene. "[Eclipse director] David [Slade] and [New Moon director] Chris [Weitz] will both be busy in postproduction, and Catherine [Hardwicke] will be doing Hamlet."

Well, like we said in last week's Truth, Lies, & Ted, there's no friggin' way Catherine would be back even if it was possible! Despite all the success and money C.H. brought Summit, insiders insist she's so crazy she wouldn't get the gig if Robsten themselves demanded it.

And as much as everyone adored Chris, that's not going to happen because of "scheduling conflicts," we're told.

So there ya have it. Who do you all think should do the fourth one?

Thoughts?

director picks?

input?

*excited*

Love Peter

Loved this lil bit from Peter Facinelli see it all at Sunday Paper I found it via TwiCrackAddict

We know “Twilight” fans can get pretty batty. Any close encounters?

They save all that for Rob Pattinson! My character is more of a patriarch figure, and the fans have been very respectful. I’m pretty easygoing and I stop and take a lot of pictures with them. Sometimes I find the more you try to run away from it, the harder it is. For Rob, it’s very overwhelming. For me, it’s the right amount. The perfect amount.

Ever run into a fake Peter Facinelli on Twitter?

There’s a Peter Faceinelli that just came onboard. He has 14 followers. The guy can’t even spell my name right, so he is obviously not me, but for some reason those 14 people think he is.

How do you deal with the paparazzi?

They’re going to take the picture anyway, so I tend to stop and wave and then keep going on my way. I try to remind myself it’s a picture in a paper, it’s going run and it’s going to be gone. It sucks if you’ve been on an airplane for six hours and you’re tired and you look like junk and they want to shove a camera in your face, it’s annoying in that respect, but I try to take it all with a grain of salt and move forward.

Poor Rpattz

I was out of town for the 4th of July but turned to TwiCrackAddict for my fix this evening when I got home... this was one post that stood out - - -

See full story at "NY DAILY NEWS"

On-set sources from the hunky Brit’s new film, "Remember Me," now filming in the Big Apple, reveal that the actor is hopelessly homesick for London.

"Robert is dying to get back home," says an insider. "He's so over everything. He's overwhelmed by all the girls — they terrify him! He says girls grab his neck and clothing all of the time, and he’s not used to that. Fans don’t do that to him in London. Everyone there is a little cooler about the fame thing, which is what he’s used to.”

The star’s blatant unhappiness even has his "Remember Me" co-stars concerned. "He's so skinny and stressed. Everyone on set is worried about him," confesses our source.

Clearly Pattinson, who shot to fame as teenage vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight," isn’t enjoying his heartthrob status — or the female attention. "Robert doesn’t understand why everyone is going so crazy over him," continues the insider.

“He’s embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He's afraid that if he gives a hand, they’ll take the whole arm. He’s being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn’t even look up anymore."

Also in the story:

This isn’t the first time that Pattinson’s public paranoia has reared its head. He told an Australian magazine back in June that he started crying while shooting “New Moon” in Italy because, “I [cry] when people are screaming at me.”

No mention of Vancouver *phew* but I feel bad for the guy... truly!

Big Brother - New Season

FINALLY - the HGs are posted on the website....

Based on PHOTOS ONLY - My opinions:

Braden - smooth talker, egotistical


Casey - friendly, conservative


Chima - Kinda, feisty when you mess with her


Jeff - friendly, social, gets along well with everyone, schemer


Jordan - southern belle mentatlity? plays innocent, ditzy, but smarter than she lets on


Kevin - more of an odd ball, perhaps shy at first then goofy and funny, probably gay


Laura - pretty, knows it, that's all


Lydia - love the tats, outspoken, unique, firecracker


Michele - seems quiet, calm, i dunno


Natalie - Maybe the firecracker


Ronnie - nothing to say, nerdy?


Russell - playboy


??? - hmmm... someone from the past? i wish!

OK - now I am reading the bio's and adjusting my opinions:

Braden - smooth talker, egotistical
Ya, I pretty much stand by my 1st photo impression

Casey - friendly, conservative
A teacher, this makes me like him more.... a 19 yr old AND a 9mnth old son?!?! holy!!

Chima - Kinda, feisty when you mess with her
military brat makes me stick to my first impression of a feisty side... journalist... hmm... sneaky too!

Jeff - friendly, social, gets along well with everyone, schemer
still seems like the get along with everyone type - we shall see

Jordan - plays innocent, ditzy, but smarter than she lets on
don't know if she is southern but small-town keeps me first photo impression in tact.

Kevin - more of an odd ball, perhaps shy at first then goofy and funny
Well "He affectionately calls himself "blackanese" as a tribute to his African-American and Japanese heritage. He describes himself as ghetto, fabulous and inappropriate, and warns his fellow Houseguests that, although he doesn't have a temper, he can get bitchy."
Still sounds gay... LOL... but... he is JW and I am pretty sure they frown upon the "gays" ha

Laura - pretty, knows it, that's all
"This 21-year-old bikini model knows how attractive she is and uses it to her every advantage" boy did I nail that one - i have great first judgemental opinions down to a tee eh... and this is hilarious "While in the house, she plans to live in her bikini (which will surely show off a lower back tattoo that she refers to as her "Tramp Stamp") and feels that her body will be her secret weapon. For her, the hardest part of being confined in the house will be abstaining from sex."

Lydia - love the tats, outspoken, unique, firecracker
"Lydia, this single woman has been up-close-and-personal with fame as she used to be a nanny for a high profile couple, which surprises people given her tattooed body and eccentric personality" hmm... wonder who?!?!

Michele - seems quiet, calm, i dunno
"Ph.D. in Neuroscience" nerdy... who knows... doesn't stand out to me

Natalie - Maybe the firecracker
"This feisty Latina has no problem lying, cheating and stealing to win the game. She'll do whatever it takes to keep the heat off her and turn it onto others, and believes her petite frame will throw off her opponents." again, i am good!! Tae Kwon Do expert from Chino... watch out!

Ronnie - nothing to say, nerdy?
"He is obsessed with video games and often plays more than six hours a day, even to the point of ignoring his wife. Ronnie is a collector of all things sci-fi, especially Star Wars collectibles. " ok i am doing great on my "calling it" based on photos LMAO

Russell - playboy
"Known to his friends as "Russell the Lovemuscle,".... yup


Predictions:

Russell wants Jordan then is involve din a love triangle (or 3way ;) bow chicka wow wow) with Braden and Laura after Jeff and Jordan hook up, Natalie and Lydia hit it off at first, then Natalie brawls with everyone, Ronnie and Michele become friends, intellectual types, i dunno... mystery guest will REALLY make a difference...

The new house is "green" and "enviro-friendly" and the video of all the HGs saying "It's the best season cuz I'm on it" is hilarious - they are zoomed in on each guest except Laura, as to show her boobs, while Jordan talks about having just done her bewbies a few weeks ago...

My pick to win it and love is def Jeff at this exact moment with no real info except for lil video clip of them saying "watch it" and reading bio/seeing photo

Thoughts?
