Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is giving all her fans the unique opportunity to read “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” for FREE online from June 7th until midnight EST on July 5th. CLICK HERE to start reading!

Who is Bree Tanner? She is one of newborn vampires of the third book (movie) of The Twilight Saga, “Eclipse”. The new Twilight series’ novel will focus on the life of this new vampire, who will be executed by the Volturi. Stephenie Meyer wants us to read this book before watching the movie “Eclipse”. Why?

“Personally, I always want to read a book before seeing the movie,” Meyer said. “I like to make my own mental pictures before someone else’s picture intrudes. Probably most of my readers don’t have the same hang-up, but for those who do, I wanted to give them the chance to create their own mental pictures of Bree and the gang.”

Who is a fan of Bree Tanner? Bree will be played by Canadian teen actress Jodelle Ferland.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter amusement park is set to open June 18th at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and here is the latest teaser. Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe all give the viewers a quick peek into what is coming for the attractions and rides.

Check out some more info on Ollivander’s Wand Shop here.

Of all the memorable moments in the Harry Potter film series, the first visit young Harry takes to Ollivander’s Wand Shop is truly magical: from the bell ringing as he enters the dimly lit store to the moment the wand ‘chooses’ Harry, the scene draws the viewer into his new wizarding world. That experience will be had first hand by visitors to the upcoming amusement park at Universal Studio in Orlando, Florida. The ‘Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ will have a unique and interactive attraction with the wand shop as part of the theme park opening this spring.

When the guest enters the wand shop to speak with the wand keeper, he or she will be asked a series of questions to start the matching process.

“The questions that will be asked from the wand keeper to the wizard are very individual, very tailored to each person based on their birth date and other questions which will determine the kind of wood and kind of narrow down the choices of wands,” [VP of Creative Development, Thierry] Coup shared.

From there, the wand keeper will offer the guest a series of wand options until the right match is found. Like in the “Harry Potter” story, a series of “magical mishaps” will occur before the right wand is found.

What more could you want from your immersion in the world of Harry Potter? Butter beer of course! That will be available too at a Hogsmeade tavern. Check out the vid with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton giving you their impression on the park.

Logan Lerman, Brandon T Jackson and Alexandra Daddario attended the New York premiere of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief on February 4th. Check out the super new combined movie clips below and get ready for the Greek mythology movie based on the great books by Rick Riordan.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson will be the star of a 32-page comic book, which tells the actor’s story since his first performance in “Tess of the D’Urbervilles” at London’s Barnes Theatre to his Harry Potter role and, finally, his big break as the sexy vampire Edward Cullen.

Robert’s Bluewater Productions biographical comic is titled “FAME: Robert Pattinson” and will be available for $3.99 in May 2010. Other celebs that were also honored with biography comics include Lady GaGa, Tiger Woods and David Beckham.

Logan Lerman is getting used to Daniel Radcliffe comparisons. The actor is the star of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief due in theaters in February, and the similarities to Radcliffe’s popular role (the title character to a very popular series of hero quest books turned into films,) Lerman is trying to differentiate the two:

“I’m being compared to Daniel Radcliffe a lot these days,” says Lerman. “Honestly, my character doesn’t have much in common with Harry Potter besides the fact that he’s an unlikely hero who’s thrown into a huge situation.”

The actor, who is costarring with some of Hollywood’s biggest talent (Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman)  says he is focused on his character but would be up for the massive fame that is potential with this movie.

“I’ve been studying mythology for months, reading about Perseus, Poseidon, Apollo, Medusa,” Logan says. “I don’t know if the movie will reach Twilight levels of obsession, but if it does, I’m ready for it!”

I hope this movie does well. The books are enjoyable and the trailer looks like it will do justice to the novels by Rick Riordan.

The movie hits theaters February 12, 2010. Anyone else looking forward to this?

This is just one more item to add to the Twi-hard collection: the book, the soundtrack (complete track list here) and the movie that finally comes out November 20, 2009. We cannot wait!!

Death Cab for Cutie has just scored a nice bit of publicity and been added to the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Their song ‘Meet Me on the Equinox’ has been chosen to be the first single released from the upcoming CD and it will get it’s debut on MTV.com on September 19th – coinciding with MTV’s VMA’s.

“I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through: There’s a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love,” bassist Nick Harmer told MTV News in a recent interview.

In addition to Death Cab, Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Muse have been announced for the movie soundtrack which is out October 20th. The official cover art (we’ve seen this before…) is above.

I just want to say thank god I don’t have to sit through hours of another lame MTV awards show crap to hear the song. So happy it will premiere on the web.
