Rob: At ComicCon or trying out for the role of Mr. Snuffleupagus?

Hey Rob, we understand your climb to fame was meteoric. One day, you’re chillaxin’ with your guitar in coffeebars and, then the next day, the gates of hell are threatening to open up to suck you in.

But never fear, my brother, the Twilight Newborns have launched their own PR bootcamps for “Men Would Have Been Cast as Edwards in Twilight Movie Adaptations.”

Our sessions include:

• “How to Diplomatically handle pushy reporters”
• “The Art of the Snarky Comeback”
• “Pretending to sleep to avoid annoying questions”
• “The ‘What Game” (“What? What did you say? I can’t hear you, what!?!’)”
• “Dressing for Success: Choosing a Slimming Beanie”
• “Using your British accent to lull reporters into a false sense of security”
• “It’s Ok to say you aren’t dating your co-worker”
• and finally “So Your Fans Sound like the Gates of Hell”

Hot Pocket buffet lunch and continental breakfast are included in the cost.

Also, invite a friend and save! Only good for male British actor friends you know who might have put their foots in their mouths during Sundance Film Festival <cough, Orlando>.

OUR 100% GUARANTEE: After this boot camp, quotes like “I’m allergic to vagina,” no matter how true, will magically never be uttered again.

Happy February!

Check out the rest of our videos at our youtube channel, youtube.com/user/twilightnewborns. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Even Newborns can appreciate Team Wolf Pack. Pictured from the left: Paul (Alex Meraz), Sam (Chaske Spencer), Jared (Bronson Pelletier) and Embry (Kiowa Gordon).

Dej is a Associazione Calcio Milan fan!

Photos from the New Moon set in Montepulciano, Italy, start here.

New Moon set photos!

But Pranzo has been instructed to play it cool. Exact directives: Do not act ANYTHING like Melissa or Christen when in the presence of fame. Being our podcasting mascot, we expect a call from the U.S. Embassy at any moment.

This report came in from Chris, our Fan of the Week Emeritus, who is goat-sitting Pranzo on his Eurotrip:

Dej's Cretian Goat Brother

At least Dej got to gift shop. He's always thinking of the Newborn Army!

Dej makes his European debut in Crete. May God protect them.

Darn that goat!

We’ve should have known Dej has been working the phones behind our backs and hitched a ride with Chris, our Fan of the Week Emeritus from Las Vegas.

We love Chris, so we’re hoping that Dej plays it cool while he’s travelling the globe. We just don’t have the funds to bail him out if he gets thrown into Italian prigione. That’s prison for the rest of us.

The Italians don’t mess around. Especially with goats. Cuz they eat goats.

And apparently, Dej has absorbed the culture so much, he insists on being called Pranzo while he’s there. Of course, pranzo means lunch in Italian. And that is what he’s going to be when he gets backs to us Newborns.

Stay tuned as Pranzo as he makes his way around Italy. And keep our fingers crossed for a Pranzo/Rob encounter!

Jacob sandwich, anyone?

Like good Twi-hards, the Twilight Newborns went to the DVD par-tay at Borders on March 20. And of course, MOPE (My Own Personal Edward) (aka Pocket Edward) joined us.

Big mistake.

Christen and I hung out in the back of the store, lounging around in the music section, as many teenagers filled the store. We pulled up some comfy seats with our cappuccinos and thought MOPE needed some air on the window sill.

The DVD party wasn't My Own Personal Edward's scene. He wanted to go. We should have listened.

Time passed by, and we were giggling about our impending DVD purchase. Girls came stopping to stare at us, but we didn’t think too much of it since this happens all the time as we’re gorgeous gals.

Over the loud speaker comes the announcement that the “Scavenger Hunt” has started.

First we hear the pounding of footsteps from across the store. Then we hear giggling and squealing getting closer and closer. Christen and I looked at each other puzzled.

“There he is!!” a girl screamed with a finger pointed at MOPE as her six friends stopped running to gather around her.

Just then I snatched MOPE from the window sill for the girls could yank him from his perk. “Um, he’s mine,” I said.

The girls just looked bewildered. “He’s not part of the scavenger hunt,” I explained, clutching my MOPE tighter as the mob lunged forward.

“I told you he wasn’t part of it,” one girl whispered to another. And the girls disbanded, dejected they didn’t get to snatch our MOPE.

Christen and I just started laughing. If a 6-inch plastic replica of Robert Pattinson can almost start a riot, we can’t even imagine what happens when the real one is around.

Moral of the story: Be careful, ladies. Don’t leave your Pocket Edwards unattended

~Melissa

Since the term “Pocket Edward” has exploded, we thought we’d try our hand at renaming him. It isn’t easy. At all.

So while we love the name, we want to give Lauren’s Bite props for coming up with him (Woot! Woot!) And just like when naming a book, naming a teeny tiny version of our god can be very challenging, as well.

Twilight Newborns’ Renaming of Pocket Edward:

• Edward the Ming Reader (Copy editor FAIL on the package)
• Growth Spurt Edward – Just give him time. By Junior year, he’ll be like the other guys.
• Ol’ Stiff Legs – Yet another odd characteristic of our little man.
• Tiny Bad Guy/Tiny Lion/Tiny Monster – Depending on his mood.
• MOPBOH (My Own Personal Brand of Heroin) We like how this sounds…”Where Mop-bo go? The nature reserve, of course.”  (Btw MOPBOH–My Own Personal Brand of Heroine would work for Pocket Bella)
• FakePE – Might as well start this Twitter account now.
• Tickle Me Edward – He does tickle our fancy!
• Sir Sits-A-Lot – Cuz he can’t and we’re just mean!
• Bouffant Ken or Vampire Ken or Sparkle Ken
• Drawde (Edward backwards)
• My Own Personal Edward (MOPE) – Works especially well for New Moon.
• Eddie Idol

and our favorite…

Shrinky Dink Edward (Just add water!)

Add water and watch him grow! Okay, Edward was so sweet to let us dunk him in water. Always a gentleman.

Victoria, the St. Patrick's Day vampire

So I thought it would be fun to take Melissa’s Pocket Edward to grad school with me. Initially, things went well. Edward turned some heads and started to get cocky. One of my classmates even bonded with Edward, and he rewarded her by showing her some funky dance moves to make her laugh. Who knew that Edward is the class clown?

Edward dances the Funky Chicken

From there, things went somewhat downhill. I took Edward over to introduce him to The Bad Girls in the Far Corner. I learned the hard way that they are not called The Bad Girls in the Far Corner for nothin’. They cornered Edward with their pink flask and their Camel Lights. What was Edward to do in the face of such peer pressure?

Can Edward resist?

At this point, The Bad Girls in the Far Corner abducted Edward. I heard Bad Girl #1 say “I’ve got an idea…. I need something like fabric.” Horrified, I tried to rescue Edward, but I was confined to my seat for the rest of the evening! I heard giggling, and I’m pretty sure Edward continued to take some sips from the pink flask. Finally, I was released and rushed over to save Party Animal Edward. He stumbled across the table, collapsed, and it was then that I noticed….

Edward, what had happened??

Edward was wearing pink pasties, and he was experiencing the most shame he had ever been subjected to. I lectured him all the way home about his loose morals and about the dangers of Bad Girls in the Far Corner. He mostly just moaned in pain, said “my head…”, and occasionally he would ask “Where am I?”

When we got home, Edward went straight to bed to stare at the ceiling for a few hours until whatever was in the pink flask wore off.

Why, Edward? Why?

Poor Edward. Corrupted by the evil influences of grad students. Hopefully he will be better behaved tomorrow.

Cullen Coiffure

Edward Cullen’s two greatest desires, his love for Bella and his thirst for her blood, are symbolized in his gelled hair-sculpture. Divided in three parts, his mega-do collides in opposing views, cresting in an apex of wholesomeness.

Free-Range Rob Locks

Here, as you can see, Robert’s precious hair has been parted in the center and styled with waves splashing up. He drives surfers crazy with that curl.

4-H Hair

The season of sheep shearing came early when Robert got his hair cut short in December 2008. Mysteriously fresh, freeing and fiber friendly.

Dirty Do

But no matter the state of Robert’s mega-do, the beanie seems to be the most likely cake topper he’ll be sporting. <sad face>

• New Moon: Where’s Edward?
• New Moon: What smells like dog?
• New Moon: A Whole New Set of Freaks

What New Moon taglines (either silly or serious) would you pitch to Chris?

• Twilight pillow cases
• “I drive like a Cullen” bumper stickers
• Edward Cullen Forks High School ID badge, Edward and Bella driver’s licenses and an Edward “license to bite” (invalid in LaPush, of course)
• Bella’s “bed stuff” – “You like purple, right?”
• Twilight-Movie VIP Birthday Party Invitations
• For Valentine’s Day: A ring set: one with “lion” and one with “lamb” and the box says “i dream about being with you forever.”
• OME! An Edward Cullen paper doll
• “Edward likes brunettes” t-shirt
• RPatz socks!
• Ironic Edward and Bella Zippos (since you burn vampires to kill them)
• Wall clocks, travel alarm clocks…. also ironic since vampires don’t sleep
• H.A.T.E. – Husbands Against Team Edward t-shirts
• Vampire Baseball League. Our fav. slogan,”Team Cullen, Got Thunder?”

What would be your must-have?
