As we reported yesterday, Rachelle Lefevre was fired as vampire Victoria in the third Twilight movie due to a scheduling conflict. Bryce Dallas Howard was swiftly recast, which left Lefevre fuming.

Lefevre claims she was dismissed over a 10-day overlap, but Summit Entertainment wrote a lengthy rebuttal claiming: “If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes, ‘passionate’ about being part of the Twilight saga, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart take note!

Bryce Dallas Howard will play vampire Victoria in the third installment of the Twilight series.

Bryce has swooped in and sunk her teeth into the role, swiftly taking it from the current Victoria — Rachelle Lefevre — who has “scheduling conflicts.”

“The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role,” Erik Feig, president of worldwide production and acquisitions for Summit Entertainment said.

If you’ve ever wondered: if Robert Pattinson were candy– what would he be? Then rest easy, my friend. Necco has released Edward, Bella and Jacob chocolate bars and Twilight-themed sweethearts in flavors like “Orange Obsession,” “Tempting Apple,” “Passion Fruit” and “Secret Strawberry.”

The best part? These Valentine’s Day-like hearts have phrases like “Bite Me” and “Live 4-Ever” scrawled on them.

The massively popular Twilight book and movie series is now getting a weekly television show.

Starting in August, ReelzChannel will introduce “Twilight Weekly: Spotlight.” The show will be a behind-the-scenes look at the series and a rolling promotion for New Moon, which opens in November.

According to The New York Times, the four books have sold 50 million copies and the first Twilight film earned $380 million in tickets.

Fans of the Twilight series (and legions of Robert Pattinson stalkers) will be pleased to hear that a Twilight-themed comic book is in the works.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Yen Press is set to publish an illustrated version of the hit book and movie series. No release date has been set.
