The saga continues with rush of ‘New’ blood

REVIEW. No matter how this review of ‘New Moon’ ends, whether this critic loves or loathes the film, is irrelevant. If you’re one of the legions of “Twi-Hards,” you’ll be stepping on heads to see it this weekend anyway.

It's a sisters thing

Anna Christie first appeared in the these pages back in 2006, when she was among the frequent street performers in Suburban Station.

What women want: Wilmer

How does Wilmer Valderrama do it? The actor has dated a bevy of Hollywood beauties, from Mandy Moore to Lindsay Lohan (pre-career implosion) to Hilary Duff. He’s even claimed that Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt have had a piece of Vaderrama-action.

Dark side of the ‘Moon’

With their characters entangled in such a deep, passionate love affair, it’s only natural that fans would project the same emotions onto “Twilight” stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and no one understands that better than the actors themselves. “I completely understand why they want us to be together and all of that,” says Stewart, referencing the endless tabloid stories about their supposed real-life romance. “I just have to not think about it.”

The Word

‘Bachelorette’ a real live girl!

In Monday’s Word, we made a joke about Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski of “The Bachelorette” being in a “fake relationship.” Our rationale behind making that claim was because 1: What reality TV show couple isn’t just a tiny bit fake? And 2: Because People magazine quoted Harris as saying, “I’m looking forward to … making dinners, waking up early, cleaning house.” So we joked: “‘Cleaning house’ is ‘perfect?’ Yeah, total fakery. What real woman would say that?’”

The November MMMpod features interviews and music with a band called Girls, a band of girls called Supercute, and a supercute vampire. Yes, listeners, we have Pattinson!
