Happy Bertday!

It's Rob Pattinson's 23rd Birthday. On this day 23 years ago, Mama Pattinson gave birth to our favorite Sparkly Vampire and the world is a better place for it.
Happy Birthday, Rob!
Here is one of my favorite Rob moments:

Ah, the good ole days when MTV was allowed on the set of Twilight. Larry Carroll>Dumb people from Entertainment Tonight (especially the seizure-inducing Mary Hart).

But I digress; the point of this post is to recognize Rob's birthday. Everyone should do a Heineken toast in celebration of Rob's birthday tonight. They should also eat microwaved carrots.Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

P.S. Obviously, I'm back. I don't know if I will be posting anymore this week, but I'm going to try to return to my regular schedule next week. Sorry for the long absence, but I think things are finally dying down enough at work for me to start blogging again. And I have numerous things to blog about, so look out!

The Neglectful Blogger

Good title for the Lifetime Movie Biopic of Elle Bunny, no? I'm also considering "New Shoes...Gotta Break 'Em In" (Chronicling my life in shoes), "My Own Personal Brand Of Heroin" (Chronicling my life spiraling out of control as I become dependent on Taco Cabana and Twi-Gossip) and "I Want a Bunny" (Chronicling my relationship with Mr. Bunny and the constant begging for an actual bunny). I would like to be played by either Ellen Page, Anne Hathaway, or Meredith Baxter-Burney (Tori Spelling might be a candidate if she gained 40 pounds).

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take a mini-hiatus from blogging. This will last for at least the rest of April (barring death or marriage of anyone in the cast of New Moon), and may run a little into May. I'm sure this is very upsetting the five of you who sometimes scan the blog, but unfortunately I've got to focus on work for the time being. I can't get into too much detail because it is technical and would put you to sleep, but suffice it to say, I need to spend less time on the interwebs and more time pretending to be a good employee. It's more of a personal challenge than anything else. It's part of what I like to call "Operation Elle Bunny Gets a Raise".

But don't worry and don't abandon my blog--I will be back!

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: Then came the day...

If you're not watching Skins yet, surely this is reason enough to check it out. I've been watching the second season and it is even better than the first. Here is a clip of Michelle and Maxxie working on a play for school called "Osama: The Musical."

This song has been all my husband and I have been singing for the last week. It is so completely ridiculous and just a small taste of the sardonic wit featured in the show. But more than that, this show has such great acting and they are always pushing their characters in new powerful directions. The relationships the kids have with each other and with their parents is so real and heart wrenching, it's just outstanding.

And the accents! This show is so great and it makes me so sad that I'm going to be caught up on watching it soon.

I recommend you check this show out ASAP!

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

New Moon Monday: I can haz movie now?

There were so much New Moon news and so many Twilight cast sightings over the past week that I can't possibly cover them all, so if you want to find out more check out the Twilight Lexicon Blog and Lainey's Gossip Blog...while I'm not a huge fan of the latter of the two, she hit the jackpot by being the only major gossip blogger who happens to live in Vancouver. I can't help but check her site regularly now for my Twi-fix.

So first of all, according to The Wrap, planning has begun for filming Breaking Dawn. I think I'm one of the few folks who want to see this get made into a movie--I have no idea how they will do it (especially things like Renesmee and the birth scene straight out of Alien), but I think it would be awesome to see on screen.

While the cast and crew of New Moon have been sworn to secrecy and it has been a closed set, apparently ET was allowed to come do interviews which they will be airing throughout the week. They gave us this sneak peek:

And this one:

(I'm having problems with the next two playing, so you can click on the link underneath to go the page and watch them yourself if you'd like)

Sneak Peek: Our Robert Pattinson Interview From 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' Set!

And this one:

Thea Andrews Blogs on 'New Moon' Exclusive!
And I don't know who got this footage or how they got it but Viva Italia! It looks like this was taken during filming of the birthday party.
I'm getting so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. (Sidenote: When I was in middle school I performed this song with Lena Cantu and Leslie Reininger at a 7th grade choir concert during the 80's medley. I know I should feel ashamed to admit this fact, but instead it just makes me giggle. And it also makes me feel a sense of solidarity with my sisters in impersonating the Pointer Sisters, Kelly Kapowski, Jessi Spano and Lisa Turtle). But I digress; what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, New Moon -I can honestly say that I'm hopeful for this movie.

Breaking News: Bert the Hobo has an iPhone.

Yet another thing that makes me giggle. I wonder if he actually bought it himself. It's hard for me to imagine Rob walking in the Apple Store. I also can't imagine how he drunk dials Tom Sturridge anymore--I'd imagine he has a hard time figuring out how to turn the phone on when he's sober.

And it sounds like Rob has a fan in Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Check out this interview to hear what Billie had to say about casting Rob as Christian, one of the two main characters from Green Day's new album "21st Century Breakdown".

So obviously there have been a lot of rumors floating around about hookups amongst the cast. You can find a lot of speculation and articles in gossip rags about relationships between Nikki and Rob, Kristen and Rob, Kristen and Taylor, Nikki and Taylor, Rob and Ashley, Nikki and Kristen. I don't know if any of these pairings are for real (my guess is that they are not). All I can say is my one true pairing is, was, and always will be these two.

In my world, RPattz especially like to makes passes at KStew when she wears her glasses.

What you looking at there, Kristen? J/K

Rob and Kristen in a car together. ZOMG!

RPattz-KStew shippers are fairly unpopular in the Twilight Universe--almost as unpopular as RPattz-NReed shippers. We are often encouraged to leave them alone and learn how to separate the actors from their characters. This is because all Twilighters have the hots for RPattz and want them for themselves. While this is a totally understandable feeling, I will forever wait for the day when RPattz and KStew make beautiful pale babies (I respect their personal lives and in no way is this meant to be taken seriously).

In closing, silentscream821 from livejournal is putting together a Birthday Book for Rob. She is accepting entries until midnight tonight (sorry for the late notice). Send your birthday wishes to pattinsonmusicappreciation@gmail.com. It should be no longer than three to four sentences. Here is what I wrote (I only took about two minutes to think about it): Rob,
I wish you happiness, good books, good booze and lots of great things to microwave (you should try a mango).
Happy Birthday Rob!

FYI: Rob turns 23 on May 13.

Have a great day everyone!

Love,

Susan Boyle is Friday's Fun Fearless Female!

If you haven't watched this video yet, you must! She may not look the part, but she has an amazing voice.

Susan's bravery should inspire every one of us to dream the dream.

I know I'm being uber corny and the whole thing was probably a set up, but it still makes makes me tear up.

And Twilighters; for a giggle, check this out:

3 Ways Robert Pattinson and Susan Boyle Are the Same

Congrats Susan Boyle, Friday's Fun Fearless Female!

Have a great weekend!

Is this a commercial or the actual show?

I know we are in the middle of an economic downturn, and trust me, it gives me a case of the sads just like everybody else. But if I want to learn about it, I watch CNN, not the CW. What is up with the constant barrage of product placement lately?

I mean, it's always been around, but in the last few months, I feel that Primetime Television has been inundated with it. I realize that tv shows are hurting for money, too, but it is getting distracting. Would you like examples??

First, and most obnoxiously, the new 90210. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Dr. Pepper (well, actually, I love Diet Dr. Pepper. I loved Dr. Pepper too much for too long and at 19, decided I had to switch to Diet). But this show is 23 flavors of tacky. In more ways than just the product placement (but Domo Arigato Donna Martin for at least keeping me awake during this week's episode; though you may want to lay off the Botox) but the way they are whoring out Dr Pepper products is making me uncomfortable. I also feel that as a long-time fan of Beverly Hills, 90210, I can say with absolute certainty that we would never have seen Dylan McKay pushing Dr Pepper, or Pepsi, or even Hair Products with the apparent fervent enthusiasm that is being exhibited on 90210 2.0. Maybe Brandon Walsh (he was always kind of a tool) but not Dylan McKay. No way, no how. And I think that is why the original show holds up well ten years later (I doubt 90210 2.0 will be syndicated).

But even shows I really love like Friday Night Lights are guilty of it. They've always featured Applebees, which doesn't really bother me too much. But during last week's episode (the finale) they made Buddy Garrity start the show off talking about how great Chevy Trucks are. He knows he's not really a car salesman, right? And Steve Carrell, don't think I didn't notice The Office has been whoring Apple products like it's life depended on it.

There's no escaping it at this point. It is even infiltrating my reality shows. Watching Real Housewives of New York City Tuesday night, I found myself ready to erase it from my DVR about halfway through watching it. It felt like a never ending infomercial. No Discountess Luann Platter, I will not buy your book on etiquette. No Bethenny, I don't want to buy your book Naturally Thin. No Ramona, I won't be buying your Tru skin care line or your True Faith Jewelry because, frankly, I don't think you seem like someone who should be promoting either of these products. No, Jill, I will not be buying Zarin Fabrics anytime soon. And no, Kelly, I don't buy that you jog in traffic in front of a cab with your hair down and flat ironed. Get a life. I'm not buying what anybody is selling on this show. Consider it my own little protest (although I do usually enjoy this show).

So all I'm saying is ENOUGH! I've had enough of the product placement. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Sorry, just had to get that out.

Everyone have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny
