Peter Facinelli Visits The Rachael Ray Show
The RACHAEL RAY show is getting swept up in Twilight mania, and has “New Moon’s” Peter Facinelli as a guest this Monday, November 23rd. Peter will be chatting about his wife’s performance on Dancing With The Stars, the craziness of Twilight’s success, and what the cast really does after shooting is done!
Peter on Jenny Garth’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars:
“Yeah I became a fan of the show just watching her dance. She used to dance when she was fifteen… so this opportunity came and I kinda talked her into it cause I thought this is an opportunity of a life time for you because she wanted to be a dancer when she was younger. And then I watched her at fifteen, and she wasn’t very good. So then I said oh no, but she actually got really good!”
Peter on his surprise about the success of Twilight:
“We knew there was a fan base of the books, no where near as big as it is now. We knew we had a responsibility to make a good movie for that fan base. So we went to work trying to make a good movie for that fan base, and then it kind of snowballed.
Peter on what the Twilight cast does in their spare time during shooting:
“Well we can’t go out as much. I remember like on the second one we went out a little bit and on the third one we just basically stayed inside all the time. Yeah in a group we just couldn’t go out. So we ended up spending a lot of time in rooms playing games. We actually played the Twilight game, the Twilight board game. People are like what do you guys do on your spare time, and we’re like nothing.”
I was going to try to attempt a weekend show, but that's like walking into a hurricane. I must say that it is PAINFUL to stay away. I am DYING to see 'New Moon'. DYING!

Peter Facinelli Opens Up To Women's Health Magazine
Peter Facinelli reminds us that Robert Pattinson and Kellan Lutz aren't the only hot vampires in the 'Twilight' series! He opened up to Women's Health about the appeal of vampires, bizarre encounters with 'Twilight' fans, and some advice for women.
Why are women obsessed with vampires?
"The hunger of wanting something so much that you can taste them is very intimate, beautiful, and romantic. It's a metaphor [for sex]."
What are some bizarre encounters with 'Twilight' fans?
"…People always come up to me and say, 'Oh my God, you're Carlisle—can you give this letter to Rob?' I've become the pony express to Rob Pattinson, but I've yet to get one letter from [him]. Maybe he's hoarding them."
What is a woman's most seductive asset?
"Lips are sexy. They're a tool for communication but also a tool for kissing. They're sexy both visually and intellectually."
And finally... what's the number one mistake women make in relationships?
"When women like men, they want to show them. But if they're always in the guy's space…it can be smothering, and the guy withdraws. You have to leave a man always wanting more."
It sounds like Jennie Garth is one lucky lady! You can read Peter's entire issue in the December issue of Women's Health magazine (see the cover below in the thumbnails), which is on newsstands now.

The NYC Premiere Of 'New Moon'
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli and a Taylor Lautner attended the Cinema Society & D&G screening of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema in NYC last night. It looked like a business meeting didn't it?! The event was very low key and a huge step down from their LA premiere. Wonder if the cast appreciated the quiet.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Taylor and asked him who he thought was sexier - werewolves or vampires.
“That’s a hard question. They’re sexier in different ways. But, I mean, I’ll stay true to the pack. I’ll go werewolf.”
The actor was also excited to see Jacob's role expand a bit in the 'Twilight' sequel.
“It was really exciting for me that Jacob has the opportunity to develop his relationship with Bella in this movie,” he said. “Really it’s setting up this entire series, which is this love triangle. So it was great to have them develop their relationship.”
Will Stewart be hitting up a theatre this opening weekend? No way! However, Kristen is honored to play such a great character.
“I think Bella is a really good role model. To be able to play her is just a serious honor.”
I am DYING to see this movie. DYING.

Jennie Garth Talks Marriage And Family In Hollywood
Jennie Garth told E! News that just because you don't hear about her eight-year marriage to 'Twilight' star Peter Facinelli in the tabloids doesn't mean it's boring.
"We have plenty of drama. You just don't hear about it," she confesses. "But I think every couple does. If you don't have drama, I think you must be a robot."
So how do they manage as a family living in Hollywood?
"We just try to stay real as a family, as we were both brought up, and not let it ever go further than that," she admits.
Part of that is simply being active with her kids, supporting them and guiding by example, and knowing that sometimes a creative game can make the most mundane task fun for the whole family.
"Every morning, I pull teeth to get them to brush their teeth," says Garth, who is working with Trident and Smiles Across America, which brings dental health care to underserved kids.
"As a parent, it's challenging to take care of your kids on every level, and this is just one of the many, many things that we have to be really diligent about as parents…
"I do something with my littler ones. We hide a little toy in their mouth, but it's not really even in their mouth. I tell them that there's something hiding in their mouth, and I hide it behind their head and so once they brush their teeth trying to get the little animal out, then they spit, and when they spit into the sink, I drop it into the sink and then they think that they've rescued the animal out of their mouth. They love it. It works!"
Teeth brushing with kids can be quite a chore :)

Rachel Miner Cast In 'Thicker'
I almost didn't recognize Rachel Miner without blond hair! She was out grabbing some coffee this morning, looking fantastic and casual. She's someone we don't see too often. Rachel was just cast in the comedy movie "Thicker", alongside Peter Facinelli, John Goodman, Christopher Lloyd and more. What a great cast! Here's a brief description of the movie:
A brother and sister go to great lengths in an attempt to recover an inheritance that their recently deceased mother was buried with
For those not familiar with Rachel, she's been in a lot of movies and guest starred on quite a few tv shows. What I know her best for is playing the part of "Dani" on Californication, with David Duchovny. She was one of my favorite characters. I keep hoping they'll bring her back but she has so many movies in the works, I'm sure it won't happen.
What do you think of her look?

The New Moon Soundtrack - Try It Before You Buy It
Good news for Twilight Saga fans! As we told you yesterday, the New Moon soundtrack is being released early (Oct. 16) but you can have a listen today! The Twilight MySpace page is letting the world hear the entire soundtrack for free all day today! So, you can have a listen and it's totally legal! LOL!
I'll say that I think it's pretty good. I've been playing Meet Me on the Equinox for days now - I need an intervention. When the Twilight soundtrack first came out (before the movie), I didn't care for it very much but once I saw the movie - I LOVED it. I played it continuously. So, I'm wondering if that will ring true for this one?
Check out the thumbnails below - spreading a little love to the New Moon cast that doesn't get as much press as the Taylor/Rob/Kristen trio. A few "humans", a couple of "vampires" and a werewolf thrown in for good measure. :)

Peter Facinelli Talks Action In Upcoming Movies
I just can't say enough good things about Peter Facinelli. He is involved with so many good causes (like Alex's Lemonade Stand), is an excellent actor, a great family man, and on and on. :-) Peter sat down with MovieFone to share some thoughts on The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
"I think people should be excited about the action that the second one's going to bring. We still have this love triangle between Rob, Kristen and Taylor that grows in the second one, but as a guy I love to see some action too, and we have a lot more action with the werewolves coming out in full form. That's going to be fun to watch. It's something that when you read the books you can imagine, but when you see it it's a whole other thing.
"'New Moon' is going to have a lot more action than 'Twilight,' which I'm excited about, and then take the action in 'New Moon' and double it in 'Eclipse.' I get to be a part of that action, which is fun because Carlisle is this calm figure. I think the vampire brawls are going to be exciting."
They asked Peter if he portrays Carlisle pretty true to the books:
"As an actor I read the books, then I read them again, then I read them again and then I put them down and read the script, which becomes my main focus," he explained. "So by the time the [first] movie came out I didn't remember what was or wasn't in the books. I just saw the movie as a complete entity in itself. Nothing stuck out in my mind that should have been in the movie."
Peter Tweeted that he is now on his way back to NYC to continue filming season 2 of Nurse Jackie. Did you watch season 1? It is AMAZING. The entire cast is so phenomenal! Follow Peter on Twitter here.
