Taylor Lautner Look-a-like!
The hype surrounding the Twilight phenomenon does not look like it will be over any time soon - which is very good news for one young Kiwi chef. Catering manager James Klisser has been likened to Twilight actor Taylor Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the films. The 22-year-old was “discovered” while catering for a women’s magazine event. “They were taking pictures of me (at the event),” Klisser told TV ONE’s Close Up. “And I got a call the next day saying ‘we’d like to do a story on you.’ I was shocked.” In the United States, celebrity impersonators are big business. There are conventions, awards and pay packets of thousands of dollars. Klisser says he has not really thought about milking the opportunity any further. “If people really think I look like him and would like to see more, then I’m definitely more than happy to please people,” he says. “The customer’s always right!”

New Moon Poster getting Snatched from Burger King
From www.TMZ.com :
There's a "Twilight" crime wave sweeping the nation -- particularly at Burger King restaurants -- and all the suspects seem to be the most fearless creatures on the planet ... teenage girls with a crush.
TMZ has learned multiple Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting life-size promotional posters of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are being ripped right off the BK windows in broad daylight ... horrible time for a vampire.
So far, the interstate theft has affected BKs in Maine, Delaware and Montana. One Burger King rep tell us, "The girls just walk up in the middle of the day ... rip off the posters and run ... we've had to replace them over and over."

‘The Blind Side’ Tops ‘New Moon’
In its third week, ‘New Moon‘ was topped by another movie which is Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Blind Side.’
It is the kind of build up you can’t market or manufacture. Ironically, The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock seemed destined to be trounced by the latest in the Twilight series, New Moon. But after holding tough on the first weekend, The Blind Side pulled close to even with Twilight in its second week out and now has taken a clear lead in its third week coming in at $6.8 million on Friday over Twilight’s $5.2 million gross.
It is a rare accomplishment. The Blind Side is entirely story driven and has gone from second place in the box office sweepstakes to number one in its third week, beating out two big budget blockbusters in the process (New Moon and 2012). It is true that Blind Side benefited from weak new entries on week two …
