I have 2 words for you :
Edward Cullan

For all you Twilight junkies out there, this last weekend at Wal Mart's
Saturday Morning Meeting for all its employees & their families we got
to see Rob Pattinson aka Edward as the guest star for the meeting
since the movie is coming out this Friday night on DVD.
Wal Mart has these meetings twice a month & is so great about making them very fun & informative at the same time. They always have some sort of famous star there. For intstance in resent months there's been, Paula Deen the cook, Harrison Ford, & American Idiols David Cook. (No, I was not here in AR. yet for these meetings, otherwise, I def. would have posted about them!)
There was a lot of
excitement about him being there. The crowd was filled with camera crazy woman
& when the interview was over, about a third of the audience left to go try &
catch him.


Although his is definitely good looking, I do have to say that I was truly
unimpressed with him in the interview. But! to give him the benefit of the doubt,
it was earlier in the morning & he may have just flown in earlier than that.
He seemed either very nervous or very out of it tired because a lot of his
answers started out with a slow "uhhhh . . ." & then his answers weren't totally
clear at times. He wasn't sure what day it was either as he thought it was Monday, the host said, "Welcome to our "Saturday" meeting." It was funny though & we
all laughed. I guess when your jet setting the world, its hard to keep track.
He did smile though & made us all laugh, so it was def. fun
to be there!
Now! For all of you who are "dieing" to know what was said in the interview,
here are some of the questions & his answers . . . .

He was asked about the next film to be made "New Moon".

He said filming is starting this week on it and he described New Moon as a darker movie than Twilight, and he said that he is "hoping that it will be a little scarier."

When asked what he thought about playing a vampire in Twilight, he replied, "He wanted to portray a regular guy that happened to be bitten by a vampire, and that just happened to live forever."

He described his role as Edward Cullen as the "first time that he has played a real masculine character."

The audience erupted into loud laughter when he referred to Edward as a more "regular" guy.

One question that was asked of him concerned his hair. He was asked if he used mouse or gel to get his famous do.

He replied, " it is mostly because I sleep on it, and a bit of grime, and because I sleep upside down at night!" The audience got a good laugh from that one too.

So, what about the upcoming release of Twilight on DVD? Well, Wal-Mart has plans to have a huge Twilight Party on Friday March 20^th @ 12:01 am. and Wal Mart is the only company anywhere in the world that is selling the 1 disc only version for $17. Twilight merchandise will also be released during the next week and displayed in soft lines.

A great little side note about these Saturday meetings . . .

It is amazing to see what this company is doing & how they are building & maintaining such a huge company, it is really fascinating! For example, Wal Mart is the only company in the world right now that has a hybrid semi truck that runs solely on electricity up to 48 MPH & also has about 5 semi trucks that run off of food grease made from with in the company.

Another example is they are taking & can take for instance, 2 garbage bags full of styrofoam & reproduce it into a plastic lunch size baggie of pellets which is then turned back into plastics such as CD & DVD cases which are then sold in the Wal Mart stores. They are def. an "earth friendly" company & very, very efficient with using their own products again.

Little Bentonville, Arkansas is actually a really neat place to be!
And not just because of Wal Mart (Go Wal Mart!) :)
