The Five Greatest 'New Moon' Trailer Reactions
Filed under: Romance », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Fandom », Trailers and Clips »
Honestly, I have no idea why any fan of Twilight would film themselves in full fan-girl mode and put it out into the world to open themselves up for ridicule and contempt on a global scale, but that's is precisely what they have done. To date, hundreds of fans have posted videos of themselves giddy with the prospect of a shirtless Taylor Lautner or a glimpse of the brooding 'deer-slayer' Edward Cullen in the first trailer for New Moon. The trailer premiered during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, and was released on the net soon after, and the dedicated have been streaming/downloading it ever since. According to MTV, there have been, "4.2 million online views in the first 24 hours, contributing to a total of 7.8 million streams in the first seven days." And those fans are showing no signs of stopping.
I don't know why, but watching these videos is fascinating; I mean, this is like a tween version of the 2 Girls 1 Cup Reactions. You have your choice of seeing girls watch it in stone faced silence (but you know their inner fan-girl is squealing) and then there are those who frankly you just kind of feel bad for them (if you want to see an exercise in humiliation take a look at some of the comments that follow these videos). Personally, I like to play a game where I try and pinpoint the exact moment that Lautner or Robert Pattinson appear on screen by the glazed look that slowly takes over, but I've got a strange sense of humor.

Filed under: Fandom »
If you thought the New Kids on the Block cruise was bad, and if you laughed at the Goth Cruise, then get ready for ... The Twilight Cruise! You'll have to wait until 2010 but that will give you plenty of time to work yourself into a lather at the thought of cruising on the seas near where Edward sparkled in the sunlight. Fans will start off in Seattle on August 8th, do some cruisin' and glacier-watchin', and make port stops at Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria, B.C. before heading back to Seattle. Activities include trivia contests, giveaways, movie screenings, a costume ball, and a Q&A and autograph signings with actors Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) and Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) and others who will There's also a 3 night pre-cruise package to Forks, WA., the location of the veggie vamps' adventures, where I can only empathize with the residents of Forks, who are surely not used to their idyllic, lush town being turned into Times Square for hordes of Twi-hards. (Hey! They call themselves that!) This part of the package costs $749 per person if you're going it alone; the best deal is to gather three of your besties for the four-person rate of $349. According to the site, this includes transport from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the ship, 3 nights in Seattle with hotel accomodations, a tour of Forks and some Seattle sightseeing.
You can also tour the set and stalk the cast.

Woman Arrested For Handcuffing Herself To Hugh Grant on Red Carpet
Filed under: Comedy », Music & Musicals », Romance », Celebrities and Controversy », Fandom »
I guess because I'm not a dedicated Hugh Grant fan I don't quite understand the impulse to handcuff myself to him. It might not have been the actions of an overzealous fan, but that's what happened to the star at the Dutch premiere of the romantic comedy Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore. Hollywood.com reported that Dutch TV personality Cielke Sijben from 101 TV approached Grant as he walked the red carpet at the Amsterdam Pathé theatre and without saying a word, calmly shackled herself to him. It is assumed that Sijben was performing a prank for a show for the network but that didn't make the incident any less bizarre for those nearby.
An onlooker at the event commented, "It was incredible. She appeared from nowhere and Grant couldn't believe it was happening." Police later arrested Sijben, but not before Grant had to stand attached to her for almost ten minutes before fire fighters could arrive to cut the handcuffs. Grant said nothing while waiting to be freed, but as soon as the cuffs were off he went back to working the press line alongside co-star Drew Barrymore. After Grant had fulfilled his publicity obligations he was described as seeming to be "relieved when he disappeared into the theatre--she could have been a maniac." Not to mention that the sensation of wearing handcuffs probably brought back some unpleasant memories.
