Barbie Collector is thrilled to unveil the newest addition to the famed Twilight Saga doll series – Jane, from the vampire coven known as the Volturi. Vampire Jane is one of the Volturi’s most offensive weapons, possessing the ability to inflict a mental illusion of pain on any opponent. Jane will be available in February, 2011 for a suggested retail price of $24.95, joining the Edward, Bella, Jacob, Alice and Victoria in the collection.

So while this is a really awesome doll, I don’t think I could willing bring “Jane” into my home.

Since we have so many new faces for this next film, it seems only fitting to try to get to know a little about them like we have others in the past. Well hello Erik…

A few days ago, Maury High graduate Erik Odom was delivering gourmet foods for an outfit called Yummy in the Hollywood Hills. A good day included a $50 tip.

Now, Odom, 24, is one of the newest cast members of the wildly popular “Twilight ” movies. The former Norfolk resident landed the role of the nomadic vampire Peter in “Breaking Dawn,” the two-part treatment that will complete the big-screen adaptation of the best-selling vampire novels.

Odom reacted with surprise, tears and jubilation when he learned he got the part. The news came from a friend, who had heard it from the casting director.

The friend told Odom while pretending to repair a video camera. The camera, however, was fully operational – and was recording the moment.

Odom graduated from Maury in 2004 and was captain of the cross-country team. He spent four years at Virginia Tech, where he earned a degree in exercise science and nutrition.

He worked for a while as a personal trainer at Norfolk Karate Academy, where his father, William Odom, a 25-year military veteran, is director.

His father said he encouraged his son to move to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Once there, Odom got callbacks for commercials but no regular jobs.

“I kept telling him that if he was getting callbacks, he was in the ballgame,” his dad said. “Maybe not on the team yet, but in the game.”

“Breaking Dawn ” puts Eric Odom squarely in the acting game.

The film, adapted from the novel by Stephenie Meyer, will be directed by Bill Condon and will star Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

The first film in the two-part finale is expected to open Nov. 18, 2011. The second will open a year later.

Odom’s character, Peter, remains a mysterious figure that may, according to the actor’s father, not appear until the last film. Summit Entertainment isn’t revealing much about the plot.

In the book, the vampire Peter is an old friend of Jasper’s, who is part of the Cullen family, who are central figures in the series.

Odom won the role at an open audition. He met Thursday with a potential agent, one of many who have shown up in the past several days.

“Suddenly, he’s getting offers from everywhere,” his father said. “Whereas, there was nothing a few weeks ago.”

Indeed, the Twilight series boasts its fair share of good looking actors which in turn translates to even better looking vampires on-screen. Glamour Magazine tends to agree, naming several of the Twilight Saga’s movie vampires among their “31 Sexiest Movie Vampires” list.

The following characters made the cut:

31. “Alec” (by Cameron Bright)

29. “Victoria” (by Rachelle Lefevre and Bryce Dallas Howard)

27. “Demetri” (by Charlie Bewley)

25. “Alice Cullen” (by Ashley Greene)

24. “Carlisle Cullen” (by Peter Facinelli)

22. “Jasper Hale” (by Jackson Rathbone)

19. “Rosalie Hale” (by Nikki Reed)

17. “Caius” (by Jamie Campbell Bower)

10. “Riley Biers” (by Xavier Samuel)

4. “Emmett Cullen” (by Kellan Lutz)

1. “Edward Cullen” (by Robert Pattinson)

You can click the number links above to see the individual entries for each selection. Are there any other vampires from the Twilight series you would’ve chosen? I might’ve added “James” or “Laurent.” No doubt, after Breaking Dawn hits theaters, “Bella Cullen” will be making the list!

I know none of us are shocked about number one but I have very happy to see Riley so high on the list! All of our Cullen men made the the list so that is a total win in my book.

Here’s another video from the Eclipse secret footage promotion.

I LOVED the fight practice scene in Eclipse! So nice to see it in “slow-mo” and see the cast having a good time together!

I’ve got Breaking Dawn baby news for you!

Nope, none of the stars are expecting a new bundle of joy (at least not that we know of), but…

Jackson Rathbone tells me that the cast is very impressed by screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s treatment of the much-talked-about birthing scene in BD. “I think people are really really excited and surprised about how tastefully it can be done,” he said at Spike TV’s Scream Awards.

Nikki Reed echoed Rathbone’s enthusiasm. “It’s intense,” she said. “It’s really intense.

“I play a pivotal role in this because this is what Rosalie has always wanted, you know what I mean?” she continued. “So, I’m working really hard. I’m with my acting coach every day…Like three hours a day, I’m with her. I really care about this and I want it to be good.”

Although they’ll be shooting both BD movies until next spring, Rathbone and Reed know that saying goodbye when they wrap won’t be easy. “I’ve had an amazing time working with the cast and you know, the fans have been incredible and they’ve been so supportive of all us,” Rathbone said. “It’s going to be sad.”

“It’s not ending for a long time,” Reed said with a big smile. “But I’m going to be sad and here’s why: I’m working with really great people, people that I love. I’ve worked with some really talented directors. I’ve traveled all over the world with the series.”

I know some of this is repeat but I would rather be safe and not miss anything.

As most of you probably know by now, Kristen, Nikki, and Jackson were all at the Scream  Awards last night. While on the carpet, Jackson and Nikki did a great interview with Collider about Breaking Dawn filming, the scripts, and a side project Nikki and Jackson are doing together so check it out!

PS: Kellan, Nikki, and Ashley were all spotted leaving LAX for Louisiana and Kristen, Rob, and Taylor have been there already rehearsing. Things are starting to heat up with filming already!

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have always been the most high-profile members of the “Twilight” clan, but lately, it looks like the leading men of Forks are being eclipsed (haha! see what we did there?) in real life by one of their supporting actors. Ashley Greene, who got her big break playing the role of Alice Cullen, is suddenly everywhere—canoodling in Hollywood with boyfriend Joe Jonas, opening up her closet for charity, and in a few weeks, cementing her style-savvy status as the host of a new TV special about the fashion industry.”Fashion Forward: Making It” will air on December 8th on The CW, with Greene leading a behind-the-scenes look at the young designers and celebs who’ve redefined the fashion industry over the past decade—so if you tune in, keep an eye out not just for famous tastemakers like Marcus Wainwright, David Neville and Tory Burch, but also for style-conscious celebrities like Gwen Stefani and (of course) Justin Timberlake. (Seriously, is there anything that guy doesn’t do?)

And while there’ll be plenty of glitz, glamor and sequined evening gowns, viewers can expect an eyeful of the gritty business side as well; the show promises a real exploration of what it takes to make it in fashion, from design to branding. Don’t miss it!

Edward and Bella may become proud parents in the soon-to-be filmed Twilight: Breaking Dawn, but it’s Nikki Reed who may be the most excited about the introduction of baby Renesmee.

“Selfishly, I’m really pleased with my relationship with this kid,” the actress, 22, tells PEOPLE while attending a Cirque du Tacori event in Santa Monica, “but I really like the way it affects my relationship with Jacob.”

Reed’s character, Rosalie Hale, has always had a sizable chip on her shoulder when it comes to Taylor Lautner’s shape-shifter, but after reading through the new scripts, Reed is looking forward to exploring her vampire’s softer side.

“In the first part of the books Jacob and I hate each other,” she says, “but we bond over this baby and we develop this connection that is really powerful.”

It’s a connection that Reed says is reminiscent of her off-screen friendship with costar Lautner, 18.

“It feels similar but at the same time more volatile than the relationship that I have in real life with Taylor,” she says. “We’re obviously buddies, but there’s a playfulness that we get to explore that wasn’t there before.”

What an amazing women!

Nikki Reed did it — and then some! The Twilight star teamed up with DoSomething.org and Staples and helped raise more than $800,000 worth of school supplies!

This summer while Nikki had a little time off from filming Twilight she decided to do something, Celebuzz reports.

The Twilight star was the spokesperson for the 3rd Annual Staples Do Something 101 School Supply Drive and her hard work was worth it. Together they raised $807,000!

Since 2008 the program has raised $1.88 million to help students get funding for school supplies.

“I am inspired by and applaud the many teen volunteers who gave their time and energy to help students in need… The donations Staples collected will have widespread effects, helping students throughout the country get their school year off to a great start,” Nikki said of the results. “I’m so happy to have been able to be a part of such a meaningful cause.”
