That's right guys! You voted for it and it won! New Moon got voted number one on the ALA Teens' Top Ten! Click here to view the results. Congrats to Stephenie and the Twilight series!

StephenieMeyer.com has just updated with the info that the Twilight movie is in pre-production. They also stated that there will not be an open casting call for the movie and that all actors are going to be found in the Screen Actors Guild.

So... is this good news? Or bad?

For those of you who missed the Twilight Mutts comics in the newspapers this week, you can view them online early here. They're pretty cute if you ask me

Edit// I've added all the comics up to now to the gallery, you can view them here.

On a non-Twilight related note. Stephenie Meyer's new sci-fi book The Host has an official release date! It will be released May 6, 2008 and you can already pre-order it off of Amazon.

And last (but definitely not least!), BellaAndEdward.com's first birthday is this week! Well, the actual date is October 22nd but we're celebrating all week since starting this site was not a one day process. Lol, there will be something special up by this weekend, if not sooner. Keep an eye out for that!

No you read that title correctly, I did say Twilight comic strips... can you believe it? Patrick McDonnell’s Mutts comic strip is doing a week-long Twilight-themed Halloween comic! It features a bird and a bat... named Bella and Edward! It will start appearing next Monday October 22, 2007 (which happens to be BAE's very first birthday!). But if you miss it, you can view them on his website (here) starting November 5th.

For lack of a better title (*points up at the title*) Lol, anywho... a couple of updates since I have the time today. First off, there was a mistake that I posted a while back. The release date of Breaking Dawn is NOT August 10, 2007. The Twilight Lexicon has just updated saying that Stephenie said it would not be released on a Sunday, so for those of you who pointed that out to me, you were right! I'm sorry!

Readergirlz is hosting a chat online with Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie gets the special Halloween midnight (Eastern time) chat! It will be on MySpace, click here for more information.

Also, just a reminder that the Character Slogan Contest on StephenieMeyer.com has begun! Don't forget to send in your entries! And while we're on the subject of forgetting. Do not forget to vote for New Moon on the ALA Teens' Top Ten of 2007! You have until the 20th of October! Click here and click the voting link to vote! Results will be out in November!

And last but not least, the Italian publishing company for Twilight is hosting their own contest! It's a fan art/fan film contest, click here to learn more about it.

Just kidding, there's one more thing. Lol, I added a video to the media section of the site. It's the interview Stephenie did with CNN international a while back, and I've also added a new press interview. Go to iForks to view them.

First off, the confusion part. Some of you might have noticed that the "site opened" date at the bottom of the sidebar said October 7, 2006. That might have confused you to think that that was BAE's first birthday. I'm really sorry but I made a mistake on that, it should say October 22, 2006 not the 7th. I've changed it to the correct date now and I'm sorry for the confusion! That means that BAE's very first birthday is coming up soon on October 22nd!

Now for the contest. No, sorry, but it's not a contest on BAE, but something even better! A contest on StephenieMeyer.com! Yep, that's right, Stephenie is having her own contest to see who can design the best character-related shirts! It's called the Character Slogan Contest and all you have to do is submit a two word "catch phrase" for a certain character from the books. Click here for the official rules. They will start accepting entries starting on Monday, October 15, 2007. Good luck everyone!

Four pieces of new fanart have been added to the gallery. The first one was made by Leen who has donated two other magnificent drawings in the past. This particular one is the Bella and Edward meadow scene! Click here to see it! Of the other three, two were donated by Nikki and the other one was made by Bella. Click here to see Bella's and here and here to see Nikki's two drawings. They are all amazing!

I've also added tons of new items to the overflowing (lol) list we have. "You know you're obsessed with Twilight..." go check them out! Also, I've added four new wallpapers sent in by Nikki. Like I said, lots of new stuff!

As some of you have already found out, CullenCast episode 6 has finally arrived! Well, actually it arrived a couple of days ago, lol. But here is the outline:
