Entertainment Weekly brings us our first look at the new cover artwork for the trade paperback version of Stephenie Meyer’s book New Moon which ties in with the release of the movie version of the book The Twilight Saga: New Moon … behold:

Attention Team Jacob: Little, Brown has revealed their cover for the movie tie-in edition of New Moon, which features an exclusive image from the Twilight franchise’s second film. Taylor Lautner fans should certainly pick up more than a few copies (Those arms! That smoldering stare! Remember, he’s only 17!). As for Team Edward…well, at least the image proves that the moon is not, in fact, made of green cheese.

Holy moly! Now that’s the kind of book cover that might inspire the young’ns to pick up a book and start reading. This coverphoto adeptly highlights the focus of New Moon and rightfully puts the character Jacob Black (portrayed by actor Taylor Lautner) front and center with Bella Swan (portrayed by actress Kristen Stewart). I like how Edward Cullen (portrayed by Robert Pattinson) is integrated into the moon (which is normally the symbol of the werewolf). I realize that you cannot always judge a book by its cover … but in this case I think the coverphoto adequately sums up the plot of New Moon. What do y’all think … do you like this book cover?

Jake Gyllenhaal has joined his ladylove Reese Witherspoon in Washington DC (where she is currently in production of her new film How Do You Know?) this week and the couple were spotted on the streets of our nation’s capital looking like they dressed out of the same hamper:

As a world famous superstar, being seen in public wearing the same outfit as someone else is a definite no no. But Hollywood A-listers Jake Gyllenhaal, 28, and Reese Witherspoon, 33, didn’t seem to mind when they arrived at the gym in Washington wearing matching work-out kits today. Of course the happily dating twosome may well have planned to co-ordinate their gym gear of blue shorts and cap, grey t-shirt and trainers. Smiling and laughing, they walked hand-in-hand through the streets after their work-out.

To which I have to give a resounding ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

In previous weeks we’ve seen photos of Kristen Stewart rockin’ the 70’s punk mullet and we’ve seen her chillin’ with Joan Jett in preparation for her appearance in the upcoming new film The Runaways (based on the all-girl band of the 70’s/80’s) and today we get to see K. Stew in action as Jett on the SoCal set of the film. Here are the first pics of Kristen doing her best Joan Jett on the set of the movie that has just began filming:

HMMMMMM … I mean … yeah. Kristen deffo has the Joan Jett look down but … I don’t know that I’m feeling the hair in these pics. It looks different from the pics we’ve seen previously … her hair looks more like a wig in these pics, no? To be honest, I don’t really see Kristen as Joan Jett as much as I see her as Pinky Leather Tuscadero from Happy Days. Granted, you really cannot judge a film from just the pics we seen from the set … and The Runaways just went into production … so I’m gonna hold off on judgment. Minus the hair, I like the look tho … I kinda want to see more.

Earlier today we learned that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick became the proud parents of twin daughters born by a surrogate mother in Ohio and now we have an official statement from the couple on the babies’ birth … including their names. Here is the full text of the just released statement:

“Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters at 3:58 p.m. on June 22 in Ohio. Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 lbs., 11 oz., and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker’s side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon.”

Yay!! Those are some serious names for a couple of tiny baby girls … but I’m sure Marion and Tabitha will grow into their very long names soon enough. Again, much love and congrats goes out to the newly expanded Parker-Broderick family!!
