In LUST with a Werewolf.

One of the perks of working for an entertainment show, is getting to cover some of the coolest and highly anticipated movies of the year (not to mention interview all my celebrity crushes!). And for me, one of those movies is Eclipse from the Twilight Saga (or any of the Twilight films for that matter). It took me a while to become a "Twi-hard". I really couldn't grasp the obsessiveness and hysteria surrounding these stories so I decided to pick up all 4 books and at least see what all the fuss was about and technically its work, right?! Ok, I became boba with these books. I could have read these 4 books in 4 days but I didn't want it to end. So beautifully written, such a passionate love story, and so dreamy. I was so sucked into Bella's world, the fascination with vampires, and wolves with 6 packs. I couldn't put them down. It got so bad at one point, that I refused to go to a 4th of July party at a NYC rooftop bc I needed to finish Eclipse. When I was in the throws of Breaking Dawn, I sat in my hotel room in Costa Rica finishing my book before venturing out to the beach. And when I was done, I remember thinking "What am I going to do with my life now?" Major vampire withdrawals. I had to seperate reality from fantasy bc I was going over the edge.

So I watched Twilight about 25 times, forced Coco to watch it, and counted down to New Moon and attended opening day with a bunch of screaming teenagers (I screamed internally bc you know, I didn't want to be uncool to Edward or Jacob).

And tomorrow is the opening day for Eclipse. SWOON. My favorite book. The love triangle. The fight sequences, and if you've read Stephanie Meyer's quick read "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" it is a GREAT companion book to the movie through the eyes of newborn vampire, Bree. Anyways, back to the point of the blog. I was lucky enough to cover the NY screening premiere last night and I was SO pumped. No RPatz which made me sad since I heart Edward. But kind of a good thing bc I would be sweating, getting clammy hands, and flirty laughs that make me sound like a bit of a dork as my husband would say. I get gaga and stupid, basically.

Intv'ed a very cool Kristen. Not as Debbie downer or awkward as usual. And the very cute and dapper Taylor Lautner.

After the premiere, I dashed to the screening on the UWS with my friend and colleague Terri (her daughter, Brit, is like my Twi-hard buddy. Can't believe I'm fighting with a 14 year old over a fictional character, but hey, its fun). I'm not going to give the movie away to those that haven't read the books, but O.M.F.G. I died!!!! Fantastic film. And storyline was tackled perfectly. Romance, tension, fighting, death- a little bit of everything. Oh, and lots and lots of abs and sparkly vampires. And Kudos to newborn vampire Riley! Hello, you're hawt! But something happened that I quite didn't expect. I fell in love with Jacob. I felt like Bella. I'm in a love triangle and SO want Jake to imprint on me! No wait. I want Edward.

Ugh. I am torn. Which team do I belong to? Which water bottle am I going to drink from?? What EW cover am i going to stare at at my desk now? I don't like this confusion. You know what it feels like for me? I feel like Edward has my heart. I am in love with Edward. But I am totally in lust with Jacob. Jacob makes me feel like how i used to get when I was 16 and 17 and completely boy crazy. "omg. hes looking at me!" "omg. hes so hot!" "omg. ill die if he talks to me!". My stomach is in flutters and all I want to do is make out with Jacob!!!! (Um, yeah, I'm 29 hes like 19 and last nite my dream was basically me cheating on Coco with Jacob and frenching like a total high schooler. Heavenly but creepy.)

So for all you Twi-hards out there, bust out those Team Edward and Jacob tshirts, your water bottles, your Teen Beat posters (that's probably just me), bc you will NOT be disappointed! My countdown to the filming of Breaking Dawn has begun (they begin in October which means pics on location will emerge) so until then, my heart will remain split in 2 for Edward and Jacob.

Here's to you. Here's to me.
