Stephenie Meyer Hates Twilight - "I'm So Over It"

If you want to make millions of fans angry, just act like Stephenie Meyer did yesterday. In an interview promoting the movie she is producing, the Twilight author was asked about the series of books and she replied, "I'm so over it. I have moved so far beyond what that was." Yeah. Not a nice thing to say to all the people who continue to buy your books and pay to watch the movie and continue to generate tons of income for you. Stephenie Meyer is a terrible author who got lucky. Very lucky. She should be grateful every second for the fans and think about where she would have been if not for them. She would be trying to scratch out a living instead of producing movies and acting like a Hollywood big shot. She is going to learn that she should not be putting up her own money for producing and when she crashes and burns, she is going to be looking to the same fans she is now trashing. Make no mistake. She is trashing them. She thinks they should move beyond Twilight and move on with their lives like she did.

I said this yesterday on Twitter, but JK Rowling would never say that about Harry Potter. First, she loves the characters, and second, she would never do anything to tick off the fans who keep buying the books. As much as you might dislike Tom Cruise's choice of religion, if you decided to ask him 20 questions about Days Of Thunder, the guy would answer every single one of them with a smile and never make you feel bad about asking them or tell you he was so beyond that. I once asked Anthony Edwards about something in Top Gun and he gave the same kind of answer that Stephenie Meyer did. He came off as a jerk and someone who didn't care. Not a good trait when you are dependent on others for your success and fame.

You know what this is? A CDAN reader wearing a kick butt shirt at the Lindsay Lohan court appearance. I'm disappointed there is no glitter though. I admire the initiative and He says that he will be selling them to help I Do The Robot so hopefully he will post the info in the comments.

Would you pay $2.2M for this bowl? I do need a bowl for my Top Ramen.

Ben Affleck should be my next Lunch With... It seems only fair considering he is the mascot of the site. Ben, have your people call my people, and by my people, I mean the butcher who cuts my bacon. Yeah, way better than store packaged.

So, you know Britney Spears' boyfriend? This was taken yesterday during the day. Interesting that he no longer has a day job.

Bruce Willis gets a designated driver and one missing child from his birthday party. Two, if you count the baby and I'm not talking about Ashton Kutcher.

I have grown a sudden fondness for Cameron Diaz and henceforth will only be praised. I didn't know you could buy ruched workout wear? Yes, I too am amazed that I was able to use the word ruched in a sentence and yes, I am drinking right now. (Sick today. Cough cough.)

David Beckham lands in China. Named Premier. Victoria Beckham will henceforth be called Ming. Yes, I used henceforth twice in a row.

And then the ball was pulled and Charlie Brown went crashing to the ground.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson at the premiere of The Host.

The book was written by this woman. She wrote something called Twilight. Must be an astronomy book.

Hmm, this should have been at the top. I was going to give Stephenie Meyer some props for Twilight. I don't think they are literary masterpieces, but she tapped into something that works.
