I have it and love it..

My baby daddy, Hardwicke & Stewart
Director Catherine Hardwicke won’t be coming back to do the Twilightsequel, New Moon, according to Variety.
It was a timing issue, says the report.
The studio wants to rush the movie out in 2009 and wasn’t willing to give Hardwicke the time that she wanted to develop the sequel script.
In a statement, Hardwicke said, “I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct ‘New Moon’. Directing ‘Twilight’ has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel — it is a great story.”
And the studio issued this statement, “Catherine did an incredible job in helping us to launch the ‘Twilight’ franchise, and we thank her for all of her efforts and we very much hope to work with her on future Summit projects. We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created. We are able to pursue an aggressive time frame as we have the luxury of only adapting the novels into screenplays as opposed to having to create a storyline from scratch.”
So sad, but Hardwicke at least has this under her belt — she delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a woman with Twilight. Congrats!

The Grammy Awards have long been known as the annual telecast where fun goes to die. But this year the Grammys finally met their match, in the form of “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night.”
The nominations show, which aired Wednesday night on CBS, may have been the recording academy’s attempt at injecting some life into the process, but it was also aggressively dull. It turns out there isn’t much tension in announcing the five possible best things in a category, or in watching the Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion perform “classic songs from Grammy history.” Which by the way was completely boring.. I had a snooze fest… At least the Grammy folks did a credible job of picking the best music of the 12 months between October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. (Even if their ancient rules still haven’t adjusted to how most people keep track of a year.)
Leading the way with eight nominations is Lil Wayne, the tiny mixtape-making, cough syrup-swilling stream-of-consciousness New Orleans rapper whose Tha Carter III truly was one of the best albums of the year. His competition in Grammys’ glamour category comes from Coldplay’s slightly overhyped Viva La Vida, Ne-Yo’s Year of the Gentleman, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ elegant Raising Sand and Radiohead’s In Rainbows.
Nominees for record of the year — which actually honors the best song — are Adele’s “Chasing Pavements,” Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”, Leona Lewis’s agonizing “Bleeding Love,” M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” and Plant and Krauss’ “Please Read the Letter.” Nominees for song of the year — which actually honors songwriters — are “Viva La Vida,” “Chasing Pavements,” “American Boy” by Estelle, featuring Kanye West, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz and “Love Songs” by Sara Bareilles.
In the overall nominations race, Coldplay garnered seven nods, while Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West got six each. (See the full list of nominees here.)
In the competition for best new artist — an award that ought to be called best artist new to Grammy nominators — are British singers Adele and Duffy, country act Lady Antebellum, Philadelphia soul diva Jazmine Sullivan (who?) and the Jonas Brothers, who, despite being just out of adolescence, actually released their third album in 2008. They’re new-ish.
To find out who’ll win, tune in to CBS Feb. 8.
Britney is back people! Even though I’m still a little unsure of her performance abilities at the present time, she seems to be doing just fine. Her dance skills don’t seem as up to par, like the much younger britney, but this suits me just fine for now. Brit Brit’s latest and newest album “Circus” just dropped today. And I’ve only listened to a few song’s but so far so good. I really like “If You Seek Amy”, it has a total double meaning and written was written so cleverly! good job Brit! Keep it coming! I’m already gearing up to buy tickets to her next show!

I wasn’t disappointed but neither was I impressed. I’ve been waiting for weeks to go see Stephanie Meyer’s ”Twilight” translated into reality on the silver screen. I’ve been anticipating the release, mentally marking off the days in the back of my head and in the mean while reading the rest of the 3 books in the teenage phenom saga. So this past Friday I made my way to the theatre dragging my bf along with me. I originally wanted to go the night before at midnight but opted for the later due to my propensity to fall asleep in movies that long, a whole 2hrs and 15 minutes long. After watching the movie I was happy I picked the later.
We got to the movie just in time for the trailers, which I love and can’t stand missing. And mentally buckled in for our cinematic adventure. Much like many other movies that are adapted from a book, the first half went pretty fast and was close to accurate but in my opinion didn’t do the book justice. Which Harry Potter has been able to due literally seamlessly. So much was left out and unexplained, it pained me to see the look on my bf’s face as he wiggled and grunted due to his apparent confusion as to what was going on in the film. If you haven’t read the book first I would recommend you do! Otherwise you are bound to be lost like countless others in the theatre. There was moments of sillyness. Cheesy love scenes not much different from those well known soaps on network tv, I would’ve very well done without. And without Robert Pattinson’s performance of Edward Cullen, the movie may have been a wash. I hope for the next one that the pay more attention to the twist and turns in the plot and less to the slick MTV look of the movie. I realize that the books were directed to more of a tween audience but they (they screen play writers) should also honor the following of older women that are enjoying this uniquely told love story between vamp and girl and eventually werewolf… all in all it was just O.K.

Pls watch the video and inform all your female loved ones about this. Miss Jaz sent this to me and we agreed that all you needed to be informed asap.

Guy Ritchie reunited with his sons, Rocco and David, this morning in London, free from the controlling and completely irrational death grip of Madonna. Oops, no, wait. Scratch that last part. The Daily Mail reports:
“The Mail has learned that the 50-year-old has issued a list of demands that Ritchie must meet while the children are with him in London. It includes a ban on TV, non-organic food and clothes not sent by her. Eight-year-old Rocco looked delighted to be back in his father’s company and threw his arms around him after walking through the gates at Gatwick. Guy also shared a hug with David, three, whom he adopted from Malawi in 2006, later hoisting him on his hip as they made their way through the terminal. An onlooker says: ‘Rocco shouted, “Dad!” in the loudest voice.’ ‘Both he and David were smiling. Guy literally threw his coffee aside to free up his hands and run over. You could tell they were all so excited to see each other.’”
Holy hell.. Thank god he got out while he did. It a surprise he lasted this long.. YIKES!!
