CAST MEMBERS ATTENDING
Peter Facinelli - Carlisle Cullen - SATURDAY ONLY

Kellan Lutz (Emmett) was previously scheduled, but will now be filming those days so is no longer able to attend.

If you cannot attend, but have questions for the cast members, you can send questions to the Twilight Lexicon link listed up above. Added that just for you, Nicky. ;)

Thanks! :)
I will convert 1 million people to Cullenism by July and then get RPattz down here!
Now .. only if a 13 year old girl had any real power in these issues - lol :)

You need Jane's powers! :D

Yes! Or that chick that can will anything into reality, I think it was Maggie from the Irish coven (right?)

Maggie has the gift of knowing when she is lied to and therefore is firmly trusted by her mates.

Siobhaun does not think she has a gift, but it is believed that she can influence events by wishing or concentrating very hard.

You had me there coz I was trying to remember who had which power. Thought it was Siobhaun, but wasn't positive, so had to look it up to refresh my memory.

That's right, thanks :) My brain is frizzling out in the heat, that with my bad memory, it's a catastrophe (sp?)
If I have Siobohaun's gift, then I'd get the WHOLE Twilight/New Moon cast down here :)

Here's a real cutiepie Downunder for you, Nicky: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/slideshow_ajax.aspx?sectionid=9016&sectionname=sl...

Keep clicking on NEXT to see all 10 pics. Awwwww.

Thanks so much Hermee for the Chicago one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh, you live in Chicago? I lived there for six months once just off North Michigan and loved it. All those cozy little bistros, a wonderful theater (saw Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat there which was amazing), amazing museum (the Metropolitan), the best factory outlets mall I've seen in the States and the people are so nice. Was really sorry to leave it ... well, except for that wind chill factor during the freeeeeeeeeezing cold winter. Coldest place I've ever been in my life. Brr.

How exciting that you get to go. You'll have to tune back in with all the goss. Would love to hear all about it. Can you give Carlisle a hug for me? He's positively scrumptious. :D

LOL I sooooooooooo hope i get to go!!!!!!!! I live close to Chicago, but my Dad works over there. Its nice and your right about the cold! I also saw Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat ans it was at Drury (sp) Lane. Where do you live?

Live in Southern California now. Was in 1995 that I saw Joseph and His Technicolor Dreamcoat and it starred Donny Osmond who was amazing in it. They also had a children's choir in it and all the children sang like angels. It was so beautiful.

Chicago sounds cool :)

It is. Hermee, thats cool

:) There are so many places I need to travel! After university, I'm going to go all over the world before I settle down!

What are you planning on studying in uni?

Psychology. I want to be a psychologist :) I think it'll be fascinating.

A good profession. What do you want to do after gaining your degree? Work with children or adults?

Both! :) Mostly teens, I think :)

What made you choose psychology as a career path? Does one of your parents work with children/teens in foster care by any chance?

Me and my one friend are in a huge fight over who gets Edward! Me of course! I'm gonna win and I'm not given up!

Message 23: Nope, I watch alot of crime shows like Criminal Minds (my fav), CSI, House, NCIS, Law & Order (another fav) and I always loved how they got into their minds and determined the truth.
Message 24: Your fighting is pointless since Edward and I are happily married :P

Not uh! Oh and has anyone ever heard of David Lubar? He scares me...

I want to be a book editor working for a majow publishing company :)
Any advice on that Hermee?

Have tons of info. for you so will post it on your page, Alice. :)

At least you'll be better than SMeyer's editor, Alice, Megan Tiggley obviously can't read very well, lots of typos. Oops, I come across as ungrateful NOT TRUE - I just take my English VERY seriously :)

I recall a few missing words within the series, but no typos. Are you sure you're not confusing them with words spelled differently in the States, Nicky? For example (and the first spelling is the spelling in Australia):

Favorite = favourite
Recognise = recognize
Realise = realize
Theatre = theater
Jewellry = jewelry
Practice and practise = practice
Defence and defense = defense
Up-to-date = up to date
No-one = no one

If you look a word up in an Aussie dictionary, the Aussie spelling is listed first with the U.S. listed second. It's in the reverse in an American dictionary.

Having said that, books here are usually published overseas using the English language instead of American English and vice versa so it could be that the publisher responsible for those published in Aussie hasn't changed the American spelling of some words.

The word stopped is spelled "stoppedd" in Eclipse.
That is one of the errors I caught.
There were a few others that I don't remember.

Nope, there were definitely typos :) A couple of times she spelt Rosalie as Roaslie. And a few others I can't remember. I saw that too, Alice :)

Oops. Made a typo above. I put favorite in the Aussie column so it should be reversed with favourite.

Don't remember those typos and I have a good eye for them so I must have forgotten them. I only remember missing words.

Aren't those typos too? Or are typos only incorrect spelling?

Typos means incorrect spelling.

Wait ... do you mean is American spelling correct? If so, yes it is. It's just classified as American English.

No. I meant does typo only classify incorrect spelling, not other grammatic mistakes :)

Oh, no it means anything you type that's incorrect so would cover both.

Oh, right :) Thanks.

You're welcome. :)

:) All works are flawed. Nothing is perfect :)

Yet Rob's a work of art. ;)
