Ashley Greene aka Alice in Twilight

I'm sure we've all seen pictures, or at least heard of by now, of all the cast of The Twilight Saga. For me though, I am drawn to one cast member more than others, Ashley Greene. She is an amazing actress, beautiful, and just an all around likable person. It is a little weird, though, to see someone star in movies and be on the covers of magazines, when she used to walk the halls of your highschool with you. Yes, I shared some classes with Ashley, and maybe that's why I'm drawn to her. Part of me still can't believe that someone from Jacksonville, Florida could be a star and so successful in Hollywood. There have been others that went to Wolfson High that dabbled in the LA Scene, but none that have had the success that Ashley has had. This aspires me. Aspires me to reach for my goals and do what I love doing, no matter the cost and eventually it will pay off. Seeing what her success has brought her, and where she is going with that success, makes me just want to watch her more and more in awe (and maybe slight jealousy). Having appeared in Maxim, not once, but twice now.... Ashley, I say to you, keep it up. You're an amazing person. Even though we were never that close, more acquaintences than friends, you have inspired me to reach for my dreams and goals. I wish you all the more success in whatever the future may bring for you!

Twilight: New Moon

I thought this was an appropriate first celeb post since today is the opening day of the movie. Ok so New Moon got three out of five stars. Hm... did the movie critics read the book?? All I'm seeing is that Bella (Kristin Stewart) is very 'depressed' in the film because Edward left her, and this makes the whole thing dark and gloomy. Well guys, I'm sorry, but that is exactly what happened in the book. And the number one sign of a good movie making, based on a book, is one that actually follows the book. I may be speaking too soon, since I'm not one of the people who are obsessed and stay up til 12am to see the opening showing time, but I have a pretty good feeling my accusations are not far off.

-Bella, you have a right to be depressed! Dont let them get you down! The man of your dreams has left you!~cough. Ok, let's be real. The number one thing that I am drawn to is her hairline. She dawns a wig due to her role in The Runaways as Joan Jett, which she chopped her hair for... literally. It seems as though she took a razor blade to her hair and just went nuts! In my opinion, I would have worn a wig for THAT role, and kept the natural locks for The Twilight Saga. BUT.. that's just me.

-Now on to Jacob (Taylor Lautner). I have to say that the transformation he made from scrawny indian boy in 'Twilight" to hello muscles werewolf in "New Moon" is impressive. He must have added a good 20 pounds in muscle.. and let's hope he did it the legal way, with working out and weightlifting, as opposed to the illegal way, with steroids! So to Jacob, I mean, Taylor... touche!

-Edward, Edward.. the star of the show... I am quite tired of seeing and hearing so much about you, really. But.. THEN.. I heard his voice. His real voice... a british accent, not leaving much to the imagination. He definately made up for his, I want to be different and not announce my admiration for Kristin Stewart to the world, and won himself some stars in my book. As far as his acting in the movie, well I guess I'll figure that out once I see it.

Until then..
