Breaking Dawn Covens Cast!

This just in from the official Twilight website:

Summit Entertainment announced today the following have been cast in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN for roles in The Amazon Coven, The Egyptian Coven, The Irish Coven and The Romanian Coven as well as the American and European Nomads



I am so excited! For me the first part of Breaking Dawn is all about romance and family. The second part is all about the action and danger! It's like Stephenie lulls you into this gooey puddle then slaps you in the face with Alice's vision and the arrival of the covens.

Sooooo who are the faces of the coven members??????



The Amazon Coven

Tracey Heggins and Judi Shekoni

Beautiful ebony women to play the part of the Amazon coven. Lets just hope their tall lol. Also I didn't think Zafrina would be so beautiful but hopefully the actress can pull off that gorgeous yet terrifying demeanor. *Aimee: I concur.

The Egyptian Coven

Omar Metwally and Andrea Gabriel



Angela Sarafyan and Rami Malek


Amun and Benjamin look absolutely perfect. Benjamin is among my favorite of the covens. It looks like the actors all have a little bit of Egyptian in them plus look at their names. I'm thinking the casting directors are sticking with specific heritages just like they did with the wolf pack and this makes me very happy. *Aimee: Benjamin is HOT! Seriously... the end.

The Irish Coven

Lisa Howard, Marlane Barnes, and Patrick Brennan


They all look like good faces for the friendliest coven of the bunch!
*Aimee: I'm so looking forward to seeing this coven! But again here I pictured them a little older- maybe not Siobhan but Maggie and Liam I pictured to be a little bit older but I guess they can portray that through makeup and acting. 


The Romanian Coven

Noel Fisher and Guri Weinberg


They both look a little too young to me to play the Romanians. I always pictured them much older looking in appearance. Kind of like the actor that plays Marcus of the Volturi. Does anyone agree with me there? Although the guy that's been cast as Stefan already looks menacing before having a vamp makeover lol *Aimee: I totally agree that they look too young. I thought they would at least look to be the same age as Marcus or Aro (obviously before they were turned). Noel Fisher- didn't he play a bully in Max Keebler's Big Move? (yes... I do like that movie.) Anyways, I'm looking forward to what these 2 do- I personally love the Romanians.

The Nomads

Lee Pace, Toni Trucks, and Bill Tangradi




Erik Odom and Valorie Curry



Joe Anderson



Surprisingly they have brought Peter and Charlotte into the cast even though David Slade did not mention them in the slightest bit in Eclipse. Either they will have a defining role with Jasper in BD or they will be background coven members like the other nomads are mostly. I would rant more but I can't stop looking at Joe Anderson who will play Allistar. Hands down a freaking hottie!!!! He has been nominated as the hottest coven member casting choice by me...oh yeah. He was another one that I depicted as older though not as old as the Romanians hmmm. *Aimee: I'm so excited to see Garret! He's my favorite nomad. Also very excited to see what they do with Peter and Charlotte and if they happen to give more background on Jasper because of them. Allistar I really pictured as older and more crazy- like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future- or Christopher Walken in America's Sweethearts. 


They have also cast the traitor Irina officially and while she doesn't strike me any different then any other beautiful actress she isn't really in the book that much anyway(although her role is significant)


Maggie Grace



And Twilight fans have embraced the lovely little actress that, according to Stephenie Meyer, has been cast as Renesmee. She truly is a doll and if she can act too then she will be perfect. I just hope that Bill Condon can make her aging process work on screen because this angel looks like Renesmee's final stage in the book. *Aimee: She looks like a little Bella- which is perfect.

Mackenzie Foy



So what are everyone's thoughts on the Breaking Dawn casting so far? Do you love it? Hate it? I know you all have opinions so let's hear em! Do you recognize any of those cast in from any other projects because a couple of the faces look familiar to me I just can't think from where. Leave your opinions in the comments!
*Aimee: BTW- even though it was just sporadic comments, this is the first posting I have had in several (7) months on here! YAY!

Cutie Tagged the Blog...Well Crap!



Its a fun little game of round and round we go in a game of Tag Your It! KG over at I Heart tagged her bestie Cutie and Cutie in turn tagged my ass and posted some wild questions to share with the viewing audience. Lets Roll!


1. How do you feel about cereal milk? Drink or toss?

If it turns the milk chocolate I drink if not I toss :-)

2. What is more offensive: A girl with a small dog in her purse or a boy with a popped collar.

Umm both are pretentious and douchy but I'd have to go with popped collar cause that's a sure sign that the guy's name is Chad or Royce and he is a douche with a capital D.

3. Halloween costumes for dogs: cute or a sign that the end of days are coming soon.

As long as the dog looks comfy and its not baby gap on the poor thing cutting off its air then I'm cool with it

4. Bacon vs Chocolate. You decide.

I have a bacon issue. I crave it! I dread when I get pregnant cause I'm gonna get so fat on bacon. On the other hand maybe I'll get lucky and it will make me nauseous.

5. Would your rather fight a hundred two year olds or a hundred chihuahuas?

Chihuahuas cause I wouldn't feel bad for hitting them. I hate them lil basterds!





6. Which do you find more offensive: A stinky belly button or toe jam?

Jesus Cutie both are disgusting where the Hell did you come up with these questions!

7. Tea or Coffee?

I'm a coffee person all the way but I like a good iced tea in summer

8. Michael Jackson. Your thoughts.

You went there didn't you? Great musical artist but wouldn't leave my worst enemy alone at Neverland Ranch




Okay so I'm going to attempt to tag people that I know haven't been tagged yet!

1. Danny aka MrsVanquish
2. Betti
3. A Hungry Vampire
4. Maniacal Matron
5.Eyes of Amber

If you'r
e one of our regular readers and don't have a blog then post your answers to the questions in the comments!

My Questions for You

1. Name one thing you miss about being a kid?
2. If you could afford plastic surgery would you get it and what would you get done?
3. Which is more important War on Crime or War on Poverty?
4. If you had to make one movie star and one musical artist disappear forever, who would they be and why?
5. New Kids on The Block or Backstreet Boys who would you choose?

A Little T.V. Doesn't Hurt

Now that the Fall season is coming upon us it means a couple of things for me...

1. Some of my favorite book series continuations are coming out
2. My television programs are back for the new season


Ahh sweet idiot box how I've missed your precious glow. Let's be honest here...growing up I believe I watched too much T.V., which is probably the reason I have way too much pop culture knowledge and random facts crammed into my head. Now that I'm older I read more(see reason 1) than I watch T.V. shows but there are at least a handful that I am dedicated to, both old and new, that I'm super pumped about.

The Vampire Diaries(September 9th)


I was ecstatic to watch this new favorite of mine this past Thursday. Last season's finale had me at the edge of my seat with the town roundup, the mysterious Tyler reaction, Jeremy's decision, a Damon/Elena pucker moment, and the return of Katherine. Season 2 opener was all I asked for and more and I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy this season's plot turns and character developments.

ALL of my other shows premiere in the same week together!!!!
I freaking love Fall!



How I Met Your Mother(Sept 20th @8pm on CBS)
Watch the Sneak Peek Here!


I've been a loyal fan of this show since I discovered it half way through it's Season 3. As a Xmas present Aimee got me all three seasons on DVD and season 4 this past Xmas. This show proves that something on TV can be just as awesome as Friends once was.

Season 5 left me kind of wanting more as the season itself wasn't half as good as the past ones had been, but the sneak peek looks awesome and I'm pumped for what the writers have in store!


Glee(Sept 21st @8pm on Fox)
Watch Fall Sneak Peek Here!

Don't deny you adore this show! I was raised on musicals, performed in highschool, and we never had a Glee club but this show with all its wonder makes me wish we did! I am so freaking stoked to see what going on with the Gleeks!

Modern Family(Sept 22nd @9 on ABC)
Watch Season 2 Promo Here!


This little Emmy award winning sitcom is also a new favorite of mine from last year. It's witty, creative, and the ensemble cast always is a knee slapping good time. What hijinks will ensue this season??

Grey's Anatomy(Sept 23rd @ 9pm on ABC)
Watch Season 7 Sneak Peek Here!


Wow. That's really all I can say about the most powerful season finale I have ever seen. I thought nothing could top the series finale and most of the season finales of Buffy for me(yeah I'm a hardcore Joss fan and Buffy came before Twilight sorry Stephanie LOL) but I honestly am simply curious as to where do they go from here? After that finale I mean WOW


So that's my lineup for the Fall and I know there are a few new shows coming out that seem kind of interesting but these are my shows for the moment and maybe I'll check the new ones out down the road cause honestly nothing has jumped out at me like Pretty Little Liars did this summer or Glee did when it first came out.

Question: Are there any shows that you are looking forward to starting back up? Everyone has their favorites so what are yours?

Now that everything is Finally Unpacked...



Attention! Attention!


Things are finally starting to settle down to a strict routine in our separate homes! Aimee is settling into her apartment in Alabama(she got a job! I iz so proud!) and I'm finally fully unpacked and living with the stress filled duties of being a caretaker for my parents and grandma. But even with all the stress I have missed posting on our site. I have a couple of ideas lined up and I'm hoping to get back on a strict schedule of posting once maybe twice a week. I have a few reviews to post including the long overdue Remember Me and Eclipse posts(in which I still need to tell Aimee so she can pop over here with her opinion too) and a couple of opinion posts on our favorite RPattz movies due to come out as well. Along with that I've remained very active on our closest bloggy sisters sites doing guest posts and comments since at the moment it's all I've had time for :-)


I just signed up with OnePushyFox and Cutie to do a guest spot for the Beautiful Darkness book discussion later this year.


I'm currently knee deep in the ongoing Hush,Hush book discussion over at Super Secret Twilight Blog.



I also did a guest post over at the Bewitched Bookworms about a month back with OnePushyFox in which we did a Mystery Book Challenge. I'm really hoping to collaborate with the Bookworms again because I have tons of time to read now lol



And I've been keeping up and commenting regularly with my favorite True Blood blogger and loyal follower HG!! Season 3 is almost over :-(

We really want to thank all of our followers for sticking with us during this transition time. You have no idea how grateful we are and I'm hoping not so far into the future we can get a giveaway set up to show our appreciation! Don't forget to comment and say hello!

So GLAD to be BACK!!

Kickin It Off!! The Hush Hush Discussion on SSTB!!

As Alice would say, "It's Time." but this isn't about Twilight. I know right? A Twilight blog that isn't discussing it's purpose lol but we here at AnF aren't always about the Saga I mean jeez we do like other things. Between the two of us we read a shit ton of books(let's just say that Aimee's dad did a lot of eye rolling at the amount of boxes that were just books when we moved). Since we're on the topic of books, over the last year I have been introduced to some amazing new authors and series that I die and swoon over and one of these particular texts is Hush, Hush. I was introduced to the Becca Fitzpatrick awesomeness by Cutie and KG who exclaimed that I must read this book, that I would LOVE this book and ya know what? I DID! This book is everything an entertaining novel should be and more.





The discussion officially kicked off today and to commemorate it we all got together and shared with the world who we envision as our Patch. If you don't know who Patch is then I highly suggest you get your hands on Hush, Hush and join in on the discussion!

We all had our own varieties of Patch. From the original model that portrays him on the book cover to an anime character that embodies his personality. Who's my Patch you may ask?

Well......

created by Fragile Little Human and Cutie


I can't help it. He screams Patch to me and every time I read the book he is who I envision.


Hop on over to Super Secret Twilight Blog and check out all the other Patch choices and join in on our book discussion.

If you've read the book before then I know you have an opinion...voice it! And if you haven't then we'll be doing the discussion weekly by chapters and you can read along with us and hear our opinions. It's a win/win situation and believe me when I tell you Patch and Becca Fitzpatrick's world is something you must experience!

And The Winner Is...

This has been a really fun giveaway! All of your quotes and shirts were hilarious and awesome. Before I announce the winner I just wanted to highlight some of the shirts chosen because some of them made me laugh so hard I wanted to pee my pants.



Meg had one of the best t shirt picks! Team Carlisle baby!





This shirt was popular with several of the contestants







I seriously was not aware we had a hardcore Team Jacob follower. Poor girl couldn't decide on a shirt so she listed a bunch and told me to pick...I liked this one! (I know here we are more Team Edward than Jacob but don't ever feel like you aren't welcome cause we don't HATE the boy)





This was the one that made me laugh so hard I cried! This is why I love Smuttier Than You!


We also seemed to have an abundance of Jacob quotes in the comments. I have to admit Jacob was very witty and funny in both the book and movie so it didn't really suprise me that he is the one everyone quoted lol


So who was the winner? After assigning all the numbers and using the nifty randomizer the winner of our Hiatus Giveaway is





ANNIE CRISTINA


I'm so excited for Annie! And I love, love...LOVE the shirt she picked!



Isn't it perfect*turns green with envy*
