Oh, I had no idea! Yeah, maybe I'll have to make a run to the store. Thanks for the info!

Jessica said...

I know I will be picking one of these up! Thanks for the heads up, I would not want to miss out on this!!!

We're on the same page! I can't wait to get this!

ashley said...

I can't wait! I'm going to pick up one of these right away, and stop by 7/11 for Free Slurpee day!

Doesn't it bother anyone else that they made Edward look more like a Vampire than drop dead gorgeous. Alicia, I need to borrow Eclipse...I couldn't find it in paper back...and this magazine when you are done :)

AOlson said...

Yeah, I am with you Amy J. I pictured him just so dreamy and drop dead gorgeous. This picture I think just makes him look dead. Nevertheless, I will be picking up this magazine today, too and maybe a free slurpee!!! thanks for the heads up Alicia!!

Alicia said...

I think Edward looks perfect. I think they did a great job mixing the white vampire with the hot, sexy guy. I do, however, have a problem with the massive amount of LIPSTICK he is wearing.

Heather said...

Wow, I won't be picking up a copy but it sounds like I'm the only one. Yeah, I agree with Amy I think he looks a little corpsish...

I am a really big fan of all things Twilight, but not of the picture on the front of that magazine. I don't think that is a good picture of Edward.

MichelleB said...

I think the picture is perfect. Edward has to have a kind of non-mortal look right? (Is non-mortal a word?) Now I am paranoid about my use of words Alicia. Don't worry my short term and long term memories are shot so I will soon forget that it means a lot(2words) to you :-)

Jodi said...

I had no idea about the magazine. Thanks Alicia.

Alicia said...

I guess if I was seeing this Edward for the first time it would be shocking, but I have seen pretty much every picture of Edward available since he was cast. I'm used to him by now. I think he makes a perfect Edward.

MichelleB. you crack me up. Brenda was the "a lot" nazi! I promise I am not reading with my dictionary next to me!

Did anyone find an actual copy?! Can you even by EW at a newsstand? I am starting to panic that I won't be able to get my hands on one.

tharker said...

I didn't find a copy, but I read the articles that were linked on Stephenie Meyer's website. They're both pretty good.

As for this picture of Edward, I agree with both Amy's. I'm not a fan of the picture at all. I love Robert Pattison as Edward, but they could have toned down the freaky dead face make-up a bit.

AOlson said...

I went to every store in town trying to find a copy. Hastings in Kennewick said they will have them "soon". The magazine lady is apparently behind schedule. Last weeks edition is still on the stands.

I agree that he is wearing too much lipstick in this picture. He is very handsome but the picture on the cover does not do Edward justice to the picture in my mind.

I finally read the books and now I'm psyched about the movie. But I hope they look a little less "vampy" (sorry!) in the movie. I didn't imagine Bella as so glamorous. I thought she'd look more like a pretty high school student with lots of potential that was currently being slightly wasted due to her low self-esteem. I imagine Edward to be more luminescent, and less surly. He seems like a nice guy when he isn't loathing Bella -- and that's only at the beginning.

Nicole said...

OK - I will finally comment - eeewww!

I'm totally fine with the actor playing Edward, but I thought he was supposed to be able to pass as a HOT high school student. Call me crazy, but wouldn't any high school teacher send this kid to the nurse for looking....um....dead? I just hope he doesn't look like walking zombie in the movie.

michellemybelle said...

alicia, i too have ssen a ton of pictures of Edward, and this is by far the most vampirish. he looks more like what i picture him like in all the other pictures. but belle is way done up in this picture as well. i watched a few clips from the movie and they don't look this extreme.

Alicia said...

Yeah, for people confused about Bella being so done up, it was strictly for the mag cover. This is what I picture her like at the Prom when Alice played dress-up.

ashley said...

I've heard that the magazine comes out this week for the 18th. Hastings gets there Entertainment weekly's on Monday mornings, so hopefully they will be there! I think they picked the "perfect" Edward for the part but, I do agree with Michelle, he does look extremely vampirish in this picture but Bella,..well lets just say she isn't the "seductress" in the book as she is portraying on this cover, she's way over done!

Sara said...

Pretty hot picture!

That doesn't look virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy to me.

Jodi said...

Okay, did you find this magazine?
