Name a song that you’ve listened to in the past 24 hours.
“She’s Only Happy in the Sun.” It’s nonstop Ben Harper in my apartment. My first boyfriend played me this song when I was 14 because my life back then was all about going to Venice Beach. Luckily, we didn’t have a bad breakup, so I don’t have any painful memories attached to the music.
On that note, what song do you associate with your first kiss?
D’Angelo’s “How Does It Feel” was playing at the time — in my head. Honestly, the most memorable make-out sessions I ever had were in [the 2003 movie] Thirteen. Those were hardcore.
Who would you like to portray in a rock biopic?
Rickie Lee Jones. Last year I went to see her at the Largo [in L.A.] on Valentine’s Day by myself. She seems eccentric. She started telling stories about her childhood, and I was thinking, “Oh, maybe this is the night when she wants to make this a personal experience.” But it turns out she does that all the time.
What’s the first album you bought with your own money?
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I liked her in Sister Act 2. Also, I grew up in an area where I was a minority, so it was culturally diverse.
Do you have a go-to karaoke song?
I don’t drink, and karaoke is something you should only do drunk. But I’m obsessed with Adele. I put on “Chasing Pavements” and sing it in my apartment. The great thing about Adele is if you put her on top volume, you actually sound like her while you’re singing. I’ve gotten a few complaints from the neighbors.
What’s the most prized T-shirt in your collection?
[Friend and New Moon star] Kristen [Stewart] and I share a lot of clothes, so I wear a lot of Joan Jett shirts.
Kristen is playing her in a movie.
Yeah, Joan made replicas of the ones she used to wear in the ’80s and gave them to us.
What’s the last concert you attended?
I saw the Dead Weather in Vancouver, where we’re shooting [the third Twilight film] Eclipse. I got really into Jack White two years ago because of my friend Sage. She quizzes me on rock music, asking me things like “Who’s your favorite Beatle?”
So who is your favorite Beatle?
I guess Paul McCartney. This is going to be a controversial thing to say, but I don’t really understand the Beatles. If Kristen were here right now, she would slap me across the face. Then again, if I ask her, “What’s the first line of Biggie’s ‘Juicy’?” she wouldn’t know. Why don’t people sit around and talk about Ol’ Dirty Bastard the way they do the Beatles?
While his Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson admitted to reporters that he doesn’t worry too much about his red carpet looks, saying “I guess I see which one fits and which one looks all right, ” Kellan Lutz says he’s “a fashionista.” At the D&G and Cinema Society-sponsored screening of New Moon in N.Y.C. last Thursday, Lutz came camera-ready in a sleek Dolce & Gabbana suit. And while costars Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart twirled around the party in designer frocks from Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino respectively, Lutz opined to Stylelist.com that the sexiest thing a woman can wear is “my clothes. A long business shirt. Maybe just that. That covers enough. I like when my girlfriends wear my sweatpants and my Ugg shoes and my tank tops and t shirts.” Not that they can keep them — Lutz told PEOPLE emphatically, “I never let my girlfriends keep my clothes! No!”– reporting by K.C. Baker
Okay you Jackson fans, satistfied?! He crouched down just for this pic! So drool dammit!
Ben Johnson is the King of Cool! He doesnt have to say much, he has a presence that's overwhelming. And when he sings I get tingly all over, he owns each song he sings. Okay it's official I *heart* Ben Johnson!! 
Now if you're in the Los Angeles Area, the 100Monkeys are playing twice on the 29th. At noon @ the Mint and later that evening @ the Viper Room at 9pm! Get your tickets....wait I better get a ticket too!! If you're coming stop and say 'HI' I'll be at the bar!
If you read my review on the New Moon Soundtrack you know I didn't like most of the songs. 'Monsters' have been on repeat on my ipod for weeks now. Due to me being a grown up with a job I had to pass up a chance for a phone interview but HB was ok with me submitting questions for the TS blog!
Enjoy!
Are you Twilight Saga fans? (its ok if you¹re not I won't yell or scream!:))
yes absolutely! but i am a newbie....i have had to catch up. at this point ihave read all 4 books and seen both movies...
Have you read any of the books?
yep.
Was 'Monsters' written especially for New Moon or did someone hear it and wanted to add it to the soundtrack?
i had the song written before. i recorded it along with the songs that makeup the hurricane bells record, "tonight is the ghost". at the last moment idecided it didn't fit with the record, and so i left it off, and just a fewmonths later it was picked for the movie.
(Answer this question ONLY if the song was written for New Moon) Was this song written with our favorite vampire Edward or Bella's best friend Jacobthe werewolf?
ha! even though i just answered i am going to have to say edward anyway. i am team edward.
I like the fact that Monsters has a dark undertone with an upbeat tempo, it seems to soften the the blow about things that creep in the night, was this intentional? Or a complete accident?
well it was intentional to have a catchy melody with darker words. i thoughtthey balanced together well, you're singing "situations are critical" butyou're still kinda interested to see why.
You were at the premiere in Los Angeles, what do you think of Twilight fans?
oh i saw them before that! we did some hurricane bells shows on the new moon mall tour. the twilight fans are rabid. but from my perspective it was onlygreat. everyone is so excited, and the movie and the music makes them very happy.
Ok, I could not find a bio on the group so I¹m going to ask a sillyquestionŠwho¹re the members of Hurricane Bells?
ha! i'll have to see about that! the record and song in the movie were recorded entirely by me. i'm steve, and i have also been the singer and guitar player in a band called longwave for almost 10 years. i played everyinstrument and recorded every note on the hurricane bells stuff, on the same laptop i am typing on now.
How long have you been together?
well for the shows i have asked some friends of mine, in other bands, tocome and play. the first live hurricane bells show was in september.
Because there's more to you than the New Moon soundtrack , How would youdescribe your music to new fans?
it's got a lot of heart.
Musical influences?
m ward, daniel lanois, t bone burnett, dave fridmann.
Did you grow up in a musical household?
not really. i learned when i was older that my dad had sung in high school.but i never heard him.
If you could do a duet with anyone dead or alive who would it be and why?
hmmm i'm going to say ashen keilyn, who sings live with hurricane bells. shealso has a band called scout that i play guitar in/produce. she is great.
Not only I'm in love with Monsters but 'I Can't Remember' made me cry the first time I listened to it. What was the inspiration of the lyrics?
wow thanks. that was an important song for me. i had that a while and didn'tknow how to record it until i just sang it for kicks with the echo on. afterthat it was the easiest song on the record. as for words, i am not sure ican explain any better here than what i wrote, sorry...
Favorite cover songs to perform?
hurricane bells has just started playing "will you still love me tomorrow",just ashen and i. i have always loved that song, and i thought someoneshould do a guy/girl version.
When are you coming to Los Angeles? (Yes this is a strictly selfishquestion!)
ha! i would guess around february. that is when the HB record will bereleased in a physical form, as it is only available now on itunes/amazon.we will be doing some touring around then.
Again thank you for taking the time to speak with Twilight Sisterhood, as much as we love the Twilight Saga we also love good music and I personally thank you for giving us that.
thank YOU!
steve
How kickass was that?! Go check out Huricane Bells on itunes and myspace!
"There will be a commentary track," Weitz revealed, saying that he'll soon head into the recording booth with his three big stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. "It'll just be us riffing off each other in our intimate way," he grinned. "We kind of like each other, so that should be fun."
In addition, fans can look forward to picking up a copy of "Twilight in Forks," the independently made documentary that teased fans with brief glimpses of its exploration into the real-life town that inspired Stephenie Meyer, only to be snatched up by Summit in September. An insider told MTV recently that the film will not be re-edited but will hit DVD alongside "New Moon" with all-new packaging and artwork.
There will be probably about 20 minutes of deleted material," he explained, promising some meaty footage. "It really is good stuff and a bonus for the fans."
Among this bonus footage could be several moments MTV knows were shot but did not make the final "New Moon" cut, including:
» A scene with Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria driving to Forks in a car, snacking on a dead human. It was one of the final moments the actress filmed as the nomadic vampire.
» A scene with the human characters eating Burger King.
» Another scene with the humans, this time with Justin Chon and Michael Welch expressing jealousy over Edward's car.
» More scenes with the Volturi in Italy.
» An extended cut of the scene where Mike Newton quotes Shakespeare to Bella in the Forks High parking lot; in it, he does a Marlon Brando impersonation.
» Scenes alluding to the ongoing breakup between Newton and Anna Kendrick's Jessica.
"When I made the film, I wanted it to arrive at a certain kind of flow and cadence," Weitz said of why he had to leave so many scenes on the cutting-room floor but hopes to restore many for the DVD. "[They would have affected] how the movie worked, and they didn't completely fit. But there'll be some groovy stuff in [the DVD]."
It could fund a small research array to identify genetic changes in a type of malignant tumor.
It could purchase enough reagents, equipment, and supplies to conduct an experiment on a novel cell signaling pathway and how it affects tumor development.
It could pay a large part of a graduate student’s salary (sadly enough, ha) as well as travel funds to a meeting to meet other scientists and senior researchers.
It could fund the development of a novel tumor cell line which could be used to screen novel therapies.
It could do any of these things or so many others. The amount that WE have raised TOGETHER is already enough to help impact childhood cancer in a MEANINGFUL and SIGNIFICANT way. I hope you all understand that what we have raised has the potential to be an entire research grant, or to fund a nursing grant to expand on the current care options for sick kids.
Perhaps even more importantly, it’s enough to send an entire family to another city for several weeks while their child receives treatment.

"I played the trombone growing up and my lips developed and I thought it was because I was playing the trombone," Kellan told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson. "You have to use that buzzing, so I thought that's what made me have big lips and I was very insecure about it. I was like, 'I have huge lips!' "
However, "Now it's turned into something good," added the movie hunk. "It's funny, I just heard [a rumor] that I'd been getting lip injections ... collagen or something like that."
