Successful Women Entrepreneurs Examiner.com web page that she is launching a look-alike contest in conjunction with establishing her new cosmetics line called Twiology, make-up inspired by the “Twilight Saga” books and movies.
“I am looking for individuals out there who love the books and movies and think they resemble one of the key characters like Bella or Alice,” Ward says. There will be 1 finalist chosen from each of the 7 categories and from those finalists, 1 grand prize winner will be picked. Category winners will become the new faces of Twiology Makeup for up to, but not limited to, 1 year.

Examiner Interview With Daniel Cudmore aka Felix
In New Moon, the stunts on the screen are all Daniel, and mostly Robert, for that matter. Anxious to perform his own stunts, Daniel found out quickly that the stunt coordinator for New Moon was the same one he’d worked with in AVPR. “I hadn’t gotten the script yet, so I called him up. He was familiar with my abilities and said for sure I could do the fight scene.”
The burning question posed by fans who adore both Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen: Which did you enjoy more- throwing around Wolverine or Edward Cullen? No question about that one. “I definitely enjoyed throwing around Edward,” Daniel booms. “Wolverine was one toss.”
Daniel went on about working with Robert in the fight scene, and is proud of the fact that Robert took on a lot of the work himself. “Robert and I worked together on a lot of it. He was a little apprehensive at first, but he enjoyed himself. Robert did one of the main sections of the fight.” Fortunately, Daniel and stunt man Simon had worked together on AVPR previously, so their rapport was intact. “Simon took some pretty hard hits on the ground, especially the ones where I’m throwing him on the floor from six feet above.”
When I asked if he created the illusion of slamming him from six feet above, making for a softer blow, Daniel simply chortled in response. “No, he took some really hard hits,” he said. “He was a good sport.”
Purist Twilight Saga fans can relax. Daniel worked hard to find the proper inspiration behind the rage in Felix, considering that the books provide little reference. Having Stephenie Meyer nearby to bounce ideas off of made for the perfect scenario. “I read as much as I could to try and build the back-story, but it was great having her on set. I asked Stephenie as much as I could, and it all worked its way out. It made me much more confident.”

When students find out about the Defining Twilight series, they are shocked, ‘You mean I can raise my scores while reading Twilight? It feels like cheating!’”

-Students define the words on their own before turning back to the workbook for actual definitions
-Drills and quizzes help readers review and integrate what they’ve learned

‘Twilight’ meets ‘Grease’ in ‘I Kissed a Vampire’
Lucas Grabeel talks about the new web series “I Kissed a Vampire.”
MTV reports, “The ‘rock musical,’ explores the life of Dylan (played by “High School Musical” alum Lucas Grabeel) as he falls in love with girl next door Sarah (played by newcomer Adrian Slade), all while transforming into a vampire … and you thought you had it tough! Don’t tune in expecting to see another Edward Cullen-like hearthrob though, as Lucas admits he hasn’t even seen “Twilight” (gasp!). “I’m actually pretty bad about pop culture,” he told MTV News, slightly embarrassed (as anyone who has not seen the movie should be).”
