LA Times Breakout Stars of 2008
Is it the British accent? His alleged negligence of personal hygiene? Could it be his total cluelessness over how to maneuver in his newfound fame? Or is he just the lucky bloke who got cast as hottie teen vampire Edward in "Twilight"? (Answer: All of the above.) And the 22-year-old Pattinson won't be disappearing back into obscurity any time soon. He and "Twilight" costar Kristen Stewart start filming the sequel, "New Moon," in March.
Rob, Edward Cullen and Stephenie Meyer make it on the list, The Mercury's (Philadelphia based newspaper) 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008

#5 Stephenie Meyer
The 36-year-old Mormon mother of two who had a dream one night about a boy and girl in a meadow discussing how much he wanted to kill her, and decided to write it down. Fortunately for us, as her dream became the hugely successful vampire saga abou love and angst Twilight. Though I only discovered the books last August, they quickly consumed most of my time. Not since Harry Potter have I devoured books so fast, and I've turned many friends and coworkers on to the series. They all have the same reaction -- "I just couldn't put it down." "I told you," I reply.
Thanks Stephenie |
