The Business of Robsten's Fauxmance is the Main Story on CNN

RobSten is front-page news on CNN in this article about the intense obsession over this New Moon fauxmance:

Are they or aren't they a couple? That's the multimillion-dollar question fueling the "Twilight" franchise.

According to gossip magazines, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been hooking up, breaking up, making up and shacking up for the past year. And as long as Pattinson and Stewart manage to keep fans guessing about the status of their relationship, they will manage to keep them captivated, helping to drive the box office sales for a movie that could have one of the biggest opening weekends of all time.

"Rob and Kristen become significantly less interesting as they confirm their love. The intrigue over Rob and Kristen stems from their youthful lust, and passion, and on-and-off, whirlwind relationship," said Jared Shapiro, executive editor of Life & Style Weekly, the first weekly magazine to put Rob and Kristen on their cover. "It's part of the fascination, that while real, they are also part fantasy."

Read the rest of the article at CNN.

P.S. As much as you know I love to read about RobSten, I feel scared that this is the headline story on CNN when there are so many other things going on in the world right now. Eek.

New Moon Breaks All Midnight Run Records

Variety reports that New Moon has already raked in lots o' dough:

Summit Entertainment's sequel "New Moon" has set box office history in breaking all records for midnight runs, grossing a whopping $26.3 million as it unspooled in 3,514 theaters at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

That easily beats the $22.2 million collected by "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" this summer.

Ka'ching.

New Moon is a "Moral Vacuum": Vatican Gives New Moon a Poopy Review

As TwiTarded says, Suck It: New Moon is the Best Moral Vacuum I've ever experienced :-)

Awesome. Even the Vatican weighs in on New Moon:

The Vatican has blasted New Moon, calling it "deviant" and a "moral vacuum".

The Twilight sequel, which hits cinemas this weekend, has been criticised by the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church for its supernatural references.

"This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element," complained the Vatican's culture council leader, Monsignor Franco Perazzolo.

He added, "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern."

The Vatican's stance comes as something of a surprise as they have softened their stance on certain blockbusters recently - approving the most recent Harry Potter film and calling the sequel to The Da Vinci Code "harmless entertainment".

Ha ha.

Ms. TCA's Spoiler-Free and Totally Random New Moon Commentary

Risking being recognized: Ms. TCA and her BFF Alice

So, New Moon may be getting shizzzy reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (wow - 29%, seriously?), but I saw New Moon last night, and I loved it!! Without giving anything away, here is my incomplete and totally subjective list of stuff that I loved:

1) Edward SPARKLES beautifully in New Moon!!! Not like the glitter-glue effect of Twilight. Somehow, they make RPattz even more gorgeous than he is!

2) Vampire make-up is seamlessly beautiful -- It always killed me that I could see Esme's make-up line end halfway up her forehead in Twilight

3) Bella doesn't blink like she's had too much caffeine this time around; KStew gives a really amazing, compelling performance. Loved her!

4) Superior Special Effects -- Now THIS is how Vampires are supposed to move. The stunts were convincing. I love you Chris Weitz!

5) Holy Jailbait -- Wow, I'm a diehard Team Edward gal, but I think Taylor Lautner was amazing as Jacob and I may have to go Team Switzerland from now on. Taylor was great - and so was the chemistry between him and KStew! Who else almost cried during the heartbreaking you-know-what scene? Sob.

6) THE MOVIE's ENDING: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE^100000

Alright, there is so much more to love, but my addled brain is still on a New Moon high. Lorabell will have her own take too.

WHAT DID YOU THINK??

If you haven't seen it, run thee to the theater.

xoxo

Update: Oooh, my tun my turn :D Lorabell's (NOT ENTIRELY SPOILER FREE - I've tried and I can't) New Moon best bits:

1) Victoria - killer music, gorgeous hair and awesome special effects!

2) Months - *tear* that is all!

3) Abs - aba + water, abs + sparkles, just plain abs = holy HAWTNESS!

4) Humans - Mike, Eric, Jessica, Charlie - you rock my socks ;)

5) The very nearly almost not quite - you know what I'm talking about - argh, kill me right now!!!

6) Alice's vision - Wait, what?!?! ZOMFE!!!

7) THE ENDING - *SQUEEEEEEE*!

*Fangirl Squeal* Kellan & Peter Crash Our New Moon Screening - And I turn into a 13 year old again

Not only did Lorabell and I get to see New Freaking-Awesome Moon early last night, but we got a special treat when Carlisle Cullen and Emmett Cullen showed up in the flesh!

We attended the Twilight Mom's-hosted New Moon in New York event and it was a blast! It was a night filled with fun. Not only did we get tons of goodies, including NM Burger King crowns, a bag full of goodies, raffle prizes, and an Edward + Volvo poster, but we got to see Peter & Kellan up close when they made a surprise appearance for a charity auction where the audience bid on a chance to have dinner with the guys.

What a treat! We squealed like fangirls, of course. Loves it.

P.S. Kellan is soooo much hotter in real life than in photos! *Swoon*

P.P.S. New Moon was WONDERFUL!

More to come later. :-)

- Ms. TCA

Lovely Lorabell scowling at her Jacob cupcake

How did you spend YOUR New Moon day?!

Aw, how cute are we all matchy?!

*Siiiiiiigh* after months and months of waiting and anticipation and impatience, we finally get to see New Moon!

Lucky Mrs TCA and I got to spend the day with the Twitarded gals and a few kick-ass readers (I'm looking at you TJB) - not to mention, Peter and Kellan turned up at our screening for Alex's Lemonade - beyond awesome!

Kristen, Rob, Taylor and co did the red-carpet thang downtown and, I suspect, will now go into hybernation for winter!

Sooo, how did YOUR New Moon day go? What was your fave bit of the movie?! Were you lucky enough to see any of the cast?!?! Spill ;)
