i bring you TWO pieces of news...

thing the first:
the sequel to the super successful Twilight, New Moon, is already set to go to pre-production on December 15th. it's quick, folks. so quick that the director of the first movie, Catherine Hardwicke is going to have to bow out and not return to direct the second follow-up film. According to insiders, she wanted to time to make the movie GREAT; to make it better than the first

It is also happening too quickly for Taylor Lautner, who will not be reprising his role as Jacob Black in the sequel. Summit Entertainment deemed him too young-looking and slight of frame to play the maturing werewolf.

So, now the hunt is on to find the person Native American young man who also has good chemistry with Kristen Stewart. no problem...right?

thing the second:

Apparently, Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward the vampire, is too manly to be a model. He started out in the business as a model at age 12, but had to give it up for acting a mere 4 years later.

He tells Closer magazine:

"When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modelling career."
