TWILIGHTAHOLICS PART 4!!!!!~*~Lions, Lambs, and Lunar-tics!!!!

[donald&daisy]

I didn't realize that when you become a celebrity you are suppose to put up with people hiding in trees, on top of roofs and chasing you down in a car. The paparazzi are crazy and dangerous most of the time. I understand that if a celebrity goes to a public place like a restaurant then they should expect to be photographed. However to be stalked and chased down is crazy! To be shooting a film on a set and then have them sneaking around on roofs to get your picture is unacceptable. You know there are some people who become an actor because they love acting, not because they just want fame. I think Kristen just wants to act because she loves it. She loves her fans but I think she is totally justified to give the paparazzi the finger in that situation. How many times have we seen celebrities get into car accidents because they are being chased by paparazzi, and look what happened to Princess Diana! How about Reese Witherspoon who was in a really dangerous situation with the paparazzi while she was with her kids! Celebrities should not have to put up with it just because they are famous! I don't think they "asked for it", that is just crazy.
OK, sorry just my 2 cents!

ITA with all of the above. There needs to be firm guidelines and boundaries, its getting out of control.

Gah! I wanna see how short her hair actually is.

 

[princesspaige]

I wish they had kissed!

I am glad they didn't...it was more intense w/o it.

My b-day is Sept 28th. Hope I am not to late to be included.

I also want to add that I love all the Rob pictures that were posted! Love his smile!!

Oh, and you can add my b-day too! It's Nov. 22, 1975.

I agree with you that the paparazzi are ridiculous, and yes I know people are getting upset with those who think that Kristen should be a better role model, but she has chosen a job that puts her in the limelight, and in a position where many young and impressionable girls look up to her. Like when she was caught smoking pot... when you become someone who has so much media attention you should know right from wrong. I understand her getting upset with the media, but really what does flipping them off do? Show that you loose your temper? Show disrespect to a country that you are not a resident of? I do think she signed up for it, and if she really loved acting that she would do everything she could to make sure she makes a good impression.

I think the media and a lot of fans have it out for Kristen. I mean, a lot of other celebrities have done things she's done, but because she's the new 'thing' and have the fandom hates her (most out of jealousy IMHO), they want to sell. They always focus on the bad aspects, no one ever talks about how great she is with fans and how I've never heard of a fan encounter where she is rude or anything of the sort. It's getting old and annoying very fast.

I have all the birthdays recorded that people have posted. There are several who still haven't. If you want your name on the list, post it or PM me. I am going to post the list tomorrow since we have a few coming up very quickly! You are more than welcome to put the year, but you do not have to. If you just posted your age in this thread but not the year, I didn't put the year on the list. If you want it included, just let me know.

Hey all . My b-day is August 23, '72. I'm going to be 37 soon!!

ITA if you are given such a role, to be a role model for people everywhere, you should be a good role model, it seems that its harder and harder to find geniuniely (sp?) wholesome celebertys in the world...not that I would look up to any them but thats just my honest opinion...

I totally agree that it is very hard to find a genuine and kind celebrity. Like Julia Roberts, Rachel Weiz, Nikki Blonskey, people who just act as if they are like anyone else, not some sort of a god. I don't think Kristen does that, she doesn't come across someone who is publicity hungry.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I don't believe in role models. You should be who you are and you don't have to look up to someone and 'try' to be like them, because then you are not being who you are.

I agree with you! I look up to my Mom. I don't think she'll ever shave her head in a crazy moment..though she might flip a camera off if someone ticked her off.

Twilight Fans -

I've been glancing at this thread for the past few days, and I wanted to share something from the latest issue of Kiplinger's magazine:

"Also watch what you post on social-networking and dating sites. For example, never give out your full date of birth; that's data an ID thief can capitalize on."

It's nice that you want to acknowledge each other's birthdays, but don't forget to be careful about what you post online.

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Uh oh..

 

[ArelysAdriana]

I am glad they didn't...it was more intense w/o it.

My b-day is Sept 28th. Hope I am not to late to be included.

Your birthday is two days after mine!

If any ID thief wanted to really get any good info on someone, I highly doubt they would be trolling the pages of a Twilight thread where we discuss blue bananas

IHe was very charming and gracious-I will give him that. Then the band started playing and they were bad. The music was okay but the vocalist was doing some weird effect with his voice like he was trying to sing raspy. It was very odd. Even my teens were shocked so I don't think it's just that I'm too old to "get" all this.

I have seen a couple youtube bits of the band and Not my cup of tea. HOWEVER, I would go see them just for a chance at an autograph! Shameless, I know.. don't judge

After much cajoling from my SIL I finally read the first book last week and then immediately watched it on Blu-Ray. I haven't read this thread because I just began Eclipse and I don't want any spoilers.

Twilight has wrecked me for reading. None of my non-Edward books seem interesting. The stories where it doesn't rain constantly and no one at all morphs into a wolf just seem dull to me.

My name is Donna, and I'm A TWILIGHTAHOLIC.

My B-day is December 1, 1988.
