This past week, we asked you to think of some false and funny “New Moon” casting tales that could top our list of insane rumors. Props to all you fans who commented, because your posts were creative and way out of the realm of possibility – which made them even funnier!
In fact, we want to dedicate this blog post to all of you Twilighters who came up with the best casting rumors. Enjoy!
- Apparently, you are obsessed with Disney stars getting eaten by the Volturi or just getting eaten all together. “JaNuArYMoRNiNgXO” wrote, “I think the best one would be if the Jonas Brothers replaced the Cullen brothers, and they all went to Camp Rock and ate every other cookie-cutter Disney star out there.” Poor Demi Lovato! Oh, and laurenx33 wants Madonna to get eaten too.
- “Xoforbiddenfruitxo” dreamed up this rumor about Dylan and Cole Sprouse playing evil vampire siblings, Alec and Jane. Which one will play Jane? Could it be the “Suite Life in Italy”? Not a bad idea. Get on that Disney!
- Talk about merging two franchises! “Dr.Pepper” “heard” that at the end of the credits of “New Moon,” the Hulk is going to recruit the Cullens to join the Avengers. Carlisle is the new Captain America, and they would just forget about making “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn.”
- “Ellie’ wants the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to replace Emmett. I don’t know how I feel about this rumor. My vote goes to Christian Bale. Why? Because just like Mickey Rourke, Christian Bale is awesome. Awesomely hot.
- “BittenApplE” has a very special announcement! There’s going to be a new character in “New Moon” named Cedward Diggen, but I think “BittenApp1E” meant Cedric Diggory. It’s okay Bitten, because I get all my Robert Pattinsons confused too. I also heard that just like Daniel Radcliffe’s character, Stewart, Cedric will also be carrying around his wizard stick. Then he’s going to fall in love with Bella and fight for her love. There’s going to be an intense fight between Edward and Cedric, but then Jacob jumps into the brawl! Jacob is T.O’ed because he’s been kicked out of the love triangle, so he’ll enlist Teen Wolf to be his partner in crime. OK, I’m going overboard.
- I have one more bogus tale for you fans. You’ve probably heard that Drew Barrymore is rumored to be one of the candidates for director of “Eclipse,” but she’s also going to star in “Breaking Dawn”! She’s going to recruit Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz for the film, and they’ll play the Amazonian coven, Zafrina, Senna, and Kachiri. Beat that!

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Recently, we conducted the first interview with the incomparable Seth Rogen following his announcement that visionary director Michel Gondry would be directing him in the soon-to-shoot movie reimagining of “The Green Hornet.” But we were really intrigued when he revealed that the “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” director had already filmed a key action scene on his own dime.
“To convince the studio to let him do it, he filmed a fight scene on his own,” Rogen told us. “He just hired stunt men and did it by himself! Just to show some of the stuff he could do, some of the weird filming techniques he has and some of the stuff he can pull off. I mean, this is something he did in two days and it was instantly unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”
