I’m so excited for New Moon!
Bauer Griffin
I went and saw Twilight again this weekend, and man, I loved it more the second time (could have had something to do with the margarita’s I was drinking)! Just seeing the movie again makes me want more! I can’t wait to see New Moon!! Seeing Taylor Lautner getting ready for all the motorcycle riding that happens in New Moon gives me baby goosebumps!

The countdown to the inevitable Pete Wentz cameo has begun!!
Multiple sources confirm to Entertainment Weekly that singer-songwriter-sometime actress Ashlee Simpson has become the latest tenant of The CW’s in-the-works Melrose Place reboot.
The onetime 7th Heaven star will play small-town girl Violet, a character whose disarming naiveté masks the calculating, shrewd sex kitten within. In other words, the little tramp’s Sydney.
Simpson joins a cast that so far includes Katie Cassidy (as ambitious publicist Ella), Michael Rady (as aspiring filmmaker Jonah), and, if there is a God, original Melrose icon Heather Locklear, who would be slipping back into Amanda Woodward’s office microminis. “Both sides are talking,” whispers EW.com’s Melrose mole of Locklear. “It’s looking good.”
Melrose 2.0, which is considered a lock to land a spot on The CW’s fall sked (most likely on Tuesdays after 90210), is being shepherded by Smallville’s Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin. Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) has been tapped to direct the pilot.
Now for the big question: Did Simpson score the part that Mischa Barton had been circling? EW.com’s sources say no. That means the ex-O.C. siren is in talks to play straight-arrow med student Lauren or revoltingly sweet schoolteacher Riley.
On Friday’s The Oprah Winfrey Show, the talk show host gave a stern warning to Rihanna, who has taken back Chris Brown (who has been charged with two felonies for assaulting her last month).
“Both Chris Brown and Rihanna, if I were your friend, I’d call you up and say, ‘Give it some time. Get yourself some counseling. Take care of yourself. Heal yourself first,’” said Winfrey, who will dedicate a program this week to discussing domestic violence for “all the Rihannas of the world.”
Looking directly into the camera, Winfrey added, “If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again.”
Echoed Gayle King, “If you guys want to get back together, I’m OK with that. But at least take some time. I am so worried she is sending the wrong message to the young fans. And him, too!”
On Friday, Usmagazine.com reported that Rihanna will testify in the Brown case, if required.
“She is planning to do everything that the law requires her to do,” her lawyer Donald Etra told Us. “If she is required to testify, she will do so.”
He added that she is “doing fine. She really appreciates the love and support of her fans.”
Brown, who remains free on $50,000 bail, is to be arraigned April 6.
If convicted, he faces anywhere from probation to four years and eight months in state prison.
“Private Practice” star Kate Walsh and a female friend attended a two-hour Al-Anon meeting in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon. Kate has been attending AA meetings even before she divorced her husband of 15 months, Alex Young. Kate was also seen smoking a cigarette while she was driving from the meeting. She had quit smoking before her wedding last year.
