New York Magazine’s Vulture have paraphrased what we’ve all been thinking about the imminent Breaking Dawn movie:

Really, can you imagine any actors besides Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner starring in the probable fifth Twilight movie in which characters will be impregnated with demon babies, given C-sections by vampire fang, and made smitten by preternaturally talkative half-vampire infants? We sure can’t. As such, if the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, is indeed split into two films, Summit Entertainment will have to open up its wallet: The Hollywood Reporter says there are still no deals in place to bring back any of the principals past a fourth movie — “and they’re not even close,” apparently. Given that Twilight has made Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner the world’s three most famous people, it’s unlikely they’ll return for cheap, so you can probably consider this confirmation that Breaking Dawn will be shot in ticket-price-raising 3-D. And if any scientists out there discover a fourth dimension before Dawn starts filming this fall, Summit would probably like a word with you.

Actor Brandon T. Jackson (whom you might recognize from the upcoming Percy Jackson movie or Tropic Thunder) and singer/actress Eve made a Twilight spoof.

Walmart has announced the DVD that they will be carrying of the The Twilight Saga: New Moon.   This will be the two-disc version of the DVD, but will include some great Eclipse goodies:

In addition, Walmart will be carrying Twilight-themed apparel.

According to MTV Hollywood Crush,

“Awards season is in full swing, Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow, and it seems like the early months of the year are only here to celebrate the best of the best films. (It’s definitely not to watch them. Cough “Leap Year” cough cough.) In the midst of this industry patting on the back, one awards show stands out from the rest. Today the Razzies announced its list of nominees for the 30th Razzie Awards and — sorry “Twilight” fans — “” met the cut over and over and over again.

While the film will be sure to get plenty of love in the fan-choice awards shows to come, “New Moon” definitely was not a critical favorite. It has been universally ignored by the various awards shows except for being shortlisted for best song (which really doesn’t mean much), but not so by the Razzie’s. “New Moon” was put in the nominations categories for Worst Screen Couple (Kristen Stewart and either Robert Pattinson or Taylor Whatz-His-Fang), Worst Supporting Actor (Robert), Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Screenplay (Melissa Rosenberg).

But don’t worry, “New Moon” wasn’t the only film getting plenty of flack. “” (affectionately referred to by the Razzies committee as “Trannies, Too”) and “” tied for the most Razzie noms with seven a piece. The leading men in both films took plenty of flack, with the Worst Onscreen Couple nom for “Trannies, Too” being Shia Lebouf & Either Megan Fox or Any Transformer, and the Worst Onscreen Couple nom for “Land of the Lost” being Will Ferrell and any co-star, Creature or “Comic Riff.” Guess who the Razzie committee didn’t like.”
