Dear LA, You Will Be Missed…

By Amber

Dear LA/Hollywood/West Hollywood/everywhere around me that was awesome,

Today, I am getting on a plane and heading back to the normal life in the great state of Oklahoma. I have been in LA for seven, count them, SEVEN DAYS. That is a really long time to be away from not only my hubs, but the kids as well.

But this is not an experience I would have traded for the world. I’ve learned so much in these past few days, and I’d like to pass on my words of LA wisdom to you all:

All this, standing just a few hundred feet from me, was just too much to handle.

1. Rob is way hotter in person then I could imagine. I am happy to report this from my awesomely amazing vantage point at the ESPN Zone at LA Live. Cause yes, even ESPN was all about the Twilight on premiere night!

2. Stars really are normal people who go out with friends, hang at the farmer’s market, etc. Case in point, my new love Jake Gyllenhaal and my secondary love and super nice guy to drink beers with, Jason Segal!

Put a beanie on this man's head, and that's the man I met!

Sometimes, dreams really happen. I mean, I didn’t realize that I dreamed of drinking beer across the table from Jason Segal, but after it happened I can’t think of a good reason why I didn’t.

3. Apparently I am completely incapable of staying sober at a Sam Bradley show. I go in with good intentions of not handing the bar tender my card, but then I do, then I drink, then I take my drunk ass over to Sam for hugs. Yeah. And I have the bestest friends ever who instead of stopping me, decided to take pictures instead. Watch Shack of Soul. They will be up there soon.

4. Seeing Eclipse with 40+ leg hitchers in a theatre that holds like, 600 people, was amazeballs. Granted, I was still a little drunk in the beginning from the Sam show, but seriously. I never felt so entertained not only by a movie, but also by the crowd around me. But I swear, can I see just one Twilight movie without being surrounded by Team Jacob?Yuck.

Not gonna lie, I kind of loved this scene.

5. That because of a book, a movie, and the amazing power of the interwebs, I have made some of the coolest friends ever. And on top of that, I got to meet so many of them in person that I find it kind of insane. While people think that Twilight fans are crazies (which many are, please do not get me wrong), it’s through Twilight that I was able to make this whole trip happen, which is just kind of awesome!

I really need to go ahead and review Eclipse properly, but I think I need to see it again first. Did the beginning really go that fast, or were the beers still getting to me? I must do more research…

I Saw the Rob. In Person. And it Was Good.

By Amber

I saw the Rob. In person. For the first time ever. And now I can die a happy woman.

First things first, this confirms that Rob is real, not just some man I dreamed up in my head. And let’s be real, the hotness is greatly enhanced by seeing it in person. Even when said person is rocking a burgundy suit (which by the way, he rocked it!).

Even from the couple 100 feet I was away, the hair, the smiles, the talking over a microphone which was not transmitted over to me in a YouTube video.

Forget high def, I’ll take the real deal any day!

Now, a few of the crappy pictures I took until some of the girls I was with get their far batter ones up online.

My Personal Goals for Fun Times While in LA… Just 4 More Days

By Amber

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you probably know that I am heading to LA on Thursday. I will be going to the premiere of Eclipse, as well as the LA Film Festival screening of Welcome to the Rileys (hi KStew!), seeing some Sam Bradley, going to a midnight showing of Eclipse! All around, it is going to be epic times, fo sho! Seven days in LA, minus hubs and kids? Holy crap.

And because I’m kind of anal rententive, I’ve been mapping out some of my own personal goals during my time in LA!

The MOST important goal of them all — See Rob in the flesh. I don’t care if he is a few hundred feet away and has

If Rob looks like this at the premiere, then he's gonna need to worry about a lot more then word vomit. Just sayin'.

his back to me, I gotta see that boy in the real life. I promise I will not scream at him, although if he gets within 10 feet there may be a spew of word vomit flying out of my mouth which I will clearly have no control over. All of my girls better stay outta the splash zone during that, cause it will be embarrassing.

Get a hug from at least one of the Twi dads, Peter, Billy, hell even Gil. I feel like Billy is my best chance, but that’s probably just because of his super personal newsletter emails that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ::le sigh:: Seriously, you guys need to be on that list.

Live the Rob experience by eating some In-n-Out burger, drinking some beer and possibly showing up drunk of TMZ. The first 2 should be easy, I’m gonna have to work super hard on 3.  I just need to find another drunk celeb and hang behind them and wait on the cameras.

Get bitch faced by KStew at the WTTR screening. She may or may not be there, so this may or may not happen. No wait, I change my mind. I don’t want to get bitch faced. I want to see the smile. In person. That would be much, much more awesome!

Have a beer with Sam and be uber embarrassed because 1) he recognizes me, and 2) he remembers me from the last show, you know, when I went through the “meet and greet” line like 10 times, then just decided to chill with the men and watch girls try to sneak in Justin Nozuka’s dressing room. Awesome times.

Watch Eclipse at the midnight showing (my first midnight showing EVER, by the way) and try not to squee out loud the first time Robward comes on the screen. I failed at New Moon, so here is hoping I can make up for that.

Being out and about in LA for that long is sure to have lots of shenanigans, and you know you will not want to miss anything! So here is what you need to do:

1. Follow me on Twitter.

My Twitter peeps will get everything first, and probably some stuff that will never make it to my blog. If you are not already following me, then do it now. I am @AmberRMW and I promise you won’t regret following me. Yep, I am that awesome. It’s even in my Twitter bio.

2. Watch for updates on my blog!

It may be a bit weird for the week I’m in LA. First off, I’ll be on west coast time, so everything is gonna get pushed back. Secondly, there may be nights I don’t blog, and other days I may hit ya twice. Who knows? I sure don’t. But as long as you are on Twitter, you will know. You can also subscribe to have emails sent every time I update. That may be the easiest! There is a little button right over there, at the top of this column ————————————————>

Hit that, enter your email, and let’s do this!

I’m still packing and getting ready, and I am so freakin’ excited. Will any of you be there? I will be giving out free hugs, just let me know!

Rob on Leno is PURE WIN! But are you that surprised?

By Amber

What? I bring my "A" game every day.

It is clear that Rob brought his “A” game out on Jay Leno yesterday. It’s like he knows what drives us crazy and just decided to combine all of them into one interview so I would spontaneously combust while sitting here on my couch. I mean, geez we talk about all of these things all the time. Confirmation that he reads our blogs?

If so, well then, touche Rob. You got us back good. You should keep getting us back. It kind of rocks.

I mean, c’mon. First off, you show up in that suit. And you owned that suit, no doubt.

Oh this old thing?

I’m hoping while getting dressed in the fuck hawt suit that you were warmed by the fire that was fueled by the burning of the yellow shirt that made what I hope was it’s first and last appearance in the Eclipse press junket. Seriously, does it not remind of the Jack & the Box?

And then, seriously, those moments with your dad? Wow. First off, I love you even more for what is obviously a close relationship with your dad? Secondly, I think I may be partially in love with your dad. Not in that way, but I could see where he could be a cool father-in-law. Yeah, I said it.

The emails were just too priceless, and I love the fact that you embarassed him on national television. But hey, anything to see you do this again?

Rob's dad taught him a new hand gesture. Much nicer then my fave hand gesture...

Quotes of the night? Well, there were 2 in my book. When talking about nude scenes and the uncomfortable-ness during Bel Ami filming: “Hey! I’m sitting here naked. I want some respect.” Best quote in response to said Rob quote came from greenleafgirl: “I’ll respect you Rob. Now get naked. I’ll respect you nice and slow.”

And the 2nd best came after the interview, when Jay asked Emma Roberts if she was Team Edward or Team Jacob and she looked Rob in the eyes and said Team Jacob. While the audience was picking there mouths off the floor, Rob came back with this little gem, “You have just revealed yourself to have absolutely no taste.”

Wait, what did she say?!?

WIN! Take that Emma, some chick I really have no idea who she is but apparently is important enough to be on Jay Leno.

Wait, you must be tired of just reading about all the awesomeness. How about reliving all of it?!?

Yeah, enjoy that!

My Weekend Roundup, Which Isn’t So Much a Round Up as My Favorite Things That I Could Find

By Amber

Sometimes things take priority over Rob. Not many things, mind you, but you know…

The junket was this weekend and I missed it because I was celebrating my kid’s birthdays. The boy turned 5 officially yesterday and the girl turns 3 officially on June 25, when I will be in L.A. So I had to make this weekend special, and minus Twilight since they were losing me to Twilight and Rob and even Kristen for a whole week at the end of this month. So there, that’s where I was in case anyone was looking for me. :)

So now it’s time for me to play some catch up. Which is essentially me going through the fan blogs and trying to figure out what all I missed over the past couple days. Here are my fave things that I have found, you know, where Rob looks completely adorable!

First up is Rob (and Kristen and Taylor) on ET! I like how TayTay and the Stew seem so serious while Rob is still just Rob. While the filter has finally fallen into place a bit, he still has some of the best interviews. And we promise Rob, the kisses never look quite like that!

And then there was the convention. Oh Summit, please PLEASE never put these three through that again. I can say that because I have been to a convention and I know how people lost their shit for those not even IN the trinity. First off, seriously, stop screaming. Secondly, someone should have let Rob sleep first. The filter, yeah, it came back off. And it was awesome. (Minus the screaming, please be careful watching with headphones. Seriously.)

AND then I went through the pictures for the press junket. Normally, these are so full of win. But with the yellow shirt on a red background, Rob kind of looks like he should be employed at your local Jack in the Box or something. Which is unfortunantly, not hot. Feel free to look and disagree with me, but we’ve seen MUCH better.

Rob wonders why the hell we think pillow biting is hot. Well, mainly because we think of you biting them, while in the throws of passion. Duh, Rob. Why are you surprised anymore?

The best quotes and fun times came from the press junket, at least in my opinion. Let me be honest, I have NOT watched this whole thing. I cheated and read the transcript.

more about “Robert Pattinson Life: Full Transcrip…“, posted with vodpod

If you want to read the transcript, RP Life has it all. It’s not perfect, but you get the gist of his best quotes. All I know is this one made me go awwwwwwwwww….

I can’t remember who said it, but a soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense.

I also received word that Rob’s fly was down during the entire convention. (1) I am sure if this is true, Rob would be completely mortified, and (2) If this is true, someone please to be sending me a picture. Cause I can’t help but have a look. Seriously, hook me up.

We Had a Robtacular Tuesday, Which Makes for a Really Fun Post on Wednesday!

By Amber

I was pretty much offline all of yesterday. And probably will continue to be most of June as I get ready for the fuck awesome trek to LA planned at the end of the month. So I L-O-V-E it when I get online after the end of a long day filled with too much real life crap and find a lot of little Robbie treats waiting for me!

Where to start? I think I’ll go with Robowski for $500 please.

Water for Elephants filming is starting to feel like Remember Me filming. We had tons of photos, each new set seems to be just a little hotter then the last and at the end of the day we all are just wondering, “Can we make it till the movie’s release?” It feels like we can’t but I know we can. At least with lots of hugs, encouragement and pictures like these!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

(It really is irritating that I can’t keep the none WFE pics from showing. Once you see Robward, move along to the next item or you’ll spoil the rest of my post for yourself!)

And speaking of Remember Me…. YEAH!

Frugal coupon queens (AKA me) rejoice! I actually cancelled my Amazon order since an $8 coupon when Target says they will have it for $20 is way cheaper. The coupon is available till June 15, so don’t freak out cause the link isn’t working. You know this things has Rob commentary, right? And even with the serious nature of the movie, you know it’s still gonna be good!

And then, AND THEN…. some new, hot Robward! I’m glad that the tweed appears to have vanished and the hot v-necks have returned! Hallelujah!

Kick his ass, seabass!

Oh yeah! This is the Robward that dreams and fanfic are made of!

How about a little bit of arm porn for ya while we are at it?

And just when you think this is all over, it isn’t. A new interview AND new photoshoot pics, which I think are actually outtakes from another shoot, but hey, I don’t remember seeing them and I will take what I can get.

UNF! I am a sucker for the skinny tie, even with the shiny suit he may have borrowed from TayTay.

Uhhhhhhhh...... ::gulp::

And I don’t know what I like best, Rob’s summary of Breaking Dawn:

The story goes in so many different directions I’m curious to see what it’ll look like. We don’t procrastinate any longer: Bella telling me ‘I want you to turn me’ and me going ‘No, no, no’. She becomes a vampire in this movie. We get married and sleep together. All the tension from the previous movies is gone in Breaking Dawn.

Or the fact that Rob still doesn’t get it:

Like I’ve always said, it’s the character that people love, not me. I hope to be able to reach out to people due to the quality of the films that I make and not because people will hope to see a new Twilight as soon as my name is in the end credits.

Oh Rob, one day you will see that you are more then Edward. You are also a hot 24 year old man that I want to get into the pants of. Hey, just being honest here. Read the rest of the interview on here!

Rob on Oprah… I’m A Bit Afraid

By Amber

Aww crap. I watched this preview of Rob on Oprah, and I’m not sure I’m happy about this.

I mean, yes, I LOVE seeing some new Rob interviews. And yes, I will love seeing some new Eclipse footage.

But, I am concerned. By Rob, the Stew and TayPups being Oprah, that means ::gulp:: my mom will be watching. Cause, believe it or not, there will be a lot of people watching who could really care less about Twilight, like my mom. And now, cause my mom knows about my little blog world here, I’m gonna be forced to talk about it with her.

I’m going to have to explain about the sex hair and the fact that when Rob dresses like a hobo, it’s hot. I’m going to have to touch base on why I did not apply to be on the show (so my mom could come as my guest and fulfill her dream of meeting Oprah). And, I may be forced to have the worst conversation ever known to man with my mom… the explanation of Robsten. ::shudders:: I mean, no matter what side of the fence you are on, you gotta admit, that is not a conversation you want to have with your mom.

I’m not quite sure how to avoid this conversation, short of figuring out a way to sabotage my parent’s DVR from 90 miles away. I can hear the phone ringing now.

Mom: (3 days AFTER it airs) Guess who I saw on Oprah?

Me:  No mom… who?

Mom: That boy from Twilight!

Me: I know mom. Saw it 3 days ago.

Mom: Why doesn’t he brush his hair?

Me: That’s the look he’s going for.

Mom: Has he heard of an iron? I mean, he’s on Oprah!

Me: It’s the look again. That’s what’s in style.

Mom: Well, at least he’s got a cute little girlfriend there…

Me: Let’s not even go there…

I’m pretty sure at this point I will either a) hang up the phone or (much more likely) b) change the subject to something adorable one or both of my children did that will turn my mom from questioning Oprah viewer to Granny of the Year.

Ugh, so not looking forward to the three days after Oprah. But until then, I’m jumping on the couch Tom Cruise style about the upcoming Oprah show!

I Had Way Too Much Fun With the Character Portraits. Lame Manips Straight Ahead.

By Amber

The fine people over at EclipseMovie.org dropped all the character portraits on us, minus backgrounds. I was admiring them when whoever wrote the post made a comment I hadn’t thought of… “makes it easier for editing.”

And since Summit is pissing me off with all of their Eclipse premiere mind games, I decided to have some fun with their characters. Cause I can, and because I needed a quick smile.

Edward, you are looking a little tense. You know the one place you can’t go to without smiling?!? Chuck E. Cheese! But seriously… do not EAT those animals! It will be mucho embarrassing when you realize they are all mechanical and shiz.

And poor Bella… Alice wrangles her into the big foo-foo wedding instead of her real dream, running off to Vegas to marry Edward, do the hibbity dibbity, and then tell no one cause she’s embarrassed that she’s married. Yeah…. whatever girl, here’s helping you get to your “dream” wedding!

Well, Jacob, it was just time to send you where you belong. But don’t worry, I chose a pound filled with adorable puppies!! You are welcome!

Jasper, honey, there was really only one good place for you to go. So get to stepping. I got the appointment all set up for you.

Have you seen the size of Leah’s boobs? Holy crap!! If the whole beta to Jacob’s alpha doesn’t work out, well, there is always a job for you at Hooters. And really, it wouldn’t hurt for you to eat a couple of those chicken wings, just so you know…

Oh noes!! Uh, this is awkward…

Sorry for the lameness, but I haven’t done any cheesy manips in awhile, so I needed to get it out of my system. And….. done!

Am I Nervous About Eclipse? Nope. Not Too Much Anymore.

By Amber

Whereas by this time I knew damn near every in and out of New Moon, Eclipse remains as elusive as ever. The movie we know nothing about (other then the entire story line) is finally starting to coming into focus. Possibly.

Thank you Oprah for this.

Compared to what in my opinion was a lack luster first trailer for Eclipse, this one delivers. I get to see action, I get to see newborns, I get to see non-Rachelle Victoria and I get too see an engagement ring that the prop department clearly got from a $.25 machine outside the local Walmart. Now, officially, I am really excited!

As with what seems to be the majority of peeps, Eclipse is my favorite book in the series. I love the action wrapped around a love story. Makes everything much more interesting. So I kind of have high expectations for this movie. And the fact that everything has been so secret was worrying me a little. I wasn’t sure if Summit learned their lesson from whoring out too much New Moon, or if there was some back room concern I didn’t know about.

Either way, this trailer right here makes me feel WAY better about everything. Now, if they would just announce the soundtrack listing, I would be a happy camper. In a tent. With just Robward.

Grab Bag o’ Crap — Gangstas, SNL & Tunes

By Amber

Now that we are back in to a Rob-light time, this is when I have to start getting a bit creative. Start working the ol’ blogging juices. Since there are a lot of little things going on, you know, things that are worth talking about but not worth dedicating a whole day’s blog too.

Kristen is Straight Gangsta Yo!


Well, if the Stew decided she wanted to look like one of those white middle class girls who think they are straight gangsta, it worked. But you know what. It doesn’t look that bad on her. Maybe cause she is smiling. What can I say? When the girl smiles she is gorgeous. Even with her tomboyish look. Plus, I mean, would I be much more dressed up at an outdoor music festival? Nah, probably not. I don’t like getting sweat on my good clothes.

Rob on SNL?

Ugh, Rob and KStew were the victims of a terrible Saturday Night Live skit. They weren’t in it (duh!) but were impersonated… poorly.

WTF? Of course, this is when I realize and I am too deep in the fandom cause all I can see is everything they could have done to make it better, and didn’t. Like, put them in plaid. Have actual sex hair. I don’t know. Just ick to me.

Of course then I think back to whether or not Rob should just go ahead and make the jump and host SNL himself. Taylor did it, and I have to admit there were some funny moments. I’ve entertained the idea of Rob on SNL before and I go back and forth on whether he should or not. But honestly at this point, it is sheer curiosity of what he would do.

Where is my Soundtrack Listing?

Maybe Lady Antebellum can write a new song about vampire booty calls...

We finally got a teeny bit of word on the Eclipse soundtrack, and I’ll have it in my hands on June 8, or June 4 if someone can get their hands on it and start spreading pirated versions all over the interwebs.

But what gives? How do we still have zero clue who will be on it? It all goes back to I feel like this movie is coming out on June 30 and I know nothing about it. So I pretty much feel like I do about any other movie that is coming out in June. Which really in unacceptable in my privileged, entitled Twilight fandom!! (Kidding… sort of.)

And, although I have no idea where I saw it, I seem to remember Rob saying he may be working on a song himself for Eclipse. Honestly, this is the only reason why I care there is no soundtrack listing. The wait it killing me!
