She was in War of the Worlds as Tom Cruise's little girl and she was in Secret Life of Bees. I have a feeling you are refusing to give in to Bella with Edward and THAT is why you have not finished Breaking Dawn. You secretly want her with Jacob. VV

I read the book a few years ago and it was great, too.

Signe Wilkinson is a political cartoonist and has even won a Pulitzer for her editorial cartoons. Well, obviously, even she has been "bitten".

Dakota Fanning is supposed to be on Jay Leno tonite, maybe she'll say whether she'll be playing Jane or not

This article says she's "in talks" about New Moon and hopes it works out.

I'm so ready for this. Dakota isn't what I pictured but if I remember the part is pretty small. I just discovered my dvd player is broken so hopefully I'll be able to afford a new one by the time the special edition Twilight comes out..I'm so curious to see the scene the director shot from Edward's point of view. I'm hoping it's when he first SMELLS her in biology class :P

Stephen King quoted in USA Today,"..Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."

The last paragraph of the King article also put down Perry Mason author Erle Stanley Gardner, Dean Koontz and James Patterson so I have a feeling poor King isn't bringing in enough money with his books. Sadly, I used to love Stephen King but his books got so graphically violent I quit reading him.

The article:

Count Stephen King among those not swooning over Edward Cullen.

In what should have been a controversy-free interview with USA Weekend to promote his latest book, the horror master has slammed Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer's writing prowess...by flat-out saying she has none.

What started with an innocent question on the recent juggernaut success of fellow mainstream writers Meyer and J.K. Rowling quickly devolved into a full-scale denouncement of the former's skills.

"The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn," he said. "She's not very good."

Leave it to an author not to mince his words.

Possibly sensing the worldwide fallout from inflaming millions of Twilight loyalists, King went on to say that while Meyer's writing may bite the big one, her storytelling is compelling...at least to a certain, less experienced, segment of the population.

"People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It's very exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because they're not overtly sexual.

"A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that's a shorthand for all the feelings that they're not ready to deal with yet."

While King seemed to reserve his choicest words for Meyer, she wasn't the only best-selling author eviscerated by him. On the contrary, King declared Perry Mason author Erle Stanley Gardner "terrible," Dean Koontz "sometimes...just awful," and James Patterson "a terrible writer" who is nonetheless "very very successful."

well to be perfectly honest, just my opinion..but I really didnt like New Moon and I just can't get into Breaking Dawn. I really think she laid an egg with that last book and it's my least favorite. Don't shoot me

I should add that I don't know if my dislike for the 2 books has anything to do with her writing abilities
