There are some fabulous new photos of Jackson Rathbone that are on various sites today.
To be honest, we’re kind of boggling at the irony of this one. PETA has given the Twilight movie an award as being most friendly to animals. Do the PETA people realize that "vegetarian vampire" isn’t literal and that the Cullens drink animal blood? In the first forty or so seconds of the movie a deer is clearly killed. Did they watch the same movie we did?
E! has some info on the New Moon soundtrack.

PETA thinks Twilight is animal-friendly? Wait until Breaking Dawn lol!
January 29th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Lul. That’s hilarious. Haha PETA.
January 29th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
lol.the peta thing is pretty ironic.
January 29th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
wow thats great, haha peta!
January 29th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Haha, and what about Victoria’s sheep fur?
January 29th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
LOL, we forgot about Victoria’s fur!
January 29th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
bahahaha! i laughed. anything to get noticed. just mention twilight!
January 29th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I’m so not even gonna go there with PETA, LMAO!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Haha. The PETA thing… wow.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Sorry PETA. See the whole movie next time! Freaking hilarious. Just because they use the word “vegetarian” doesn’t mean they support you!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Peta is talking about the way the animals on the set are treated, not the animals in the movie itself.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
haha, PETA. Must have been a vote. Twilighters LOVE to vote for Twilight.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Also, the PETA people interview actors and people working on the set. They take into consideration what kind of materials are used in costumes and what kind of food is eaten on set. It has nothing to do with the content of the movie. Many of the cast members DO support PETA. That’s what the award was for. Sorry to burst the bubble of those of you making fun of it.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
PETA is usually ridiculous….no matter what the award was for.
January 29th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
LOL @ peta. ironic indeed
January 29th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
I was also curious about the PETA thing.. I saw that a while ago. >.>; Kind of weird.
But if Potch is right, then it all makes more sense.
Also, Bella was eating veggie burgers in the movie so maybe that contributed?
January 29th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Maybe because:
Vampires>Don’t eat humans>Eat Animals=Compassionate
Humans>Don’t eat animals>Eat plants=Compassionate
Like we’re just one step down on the food chain and “vegetarian” vamps are following the same pattern as we vegetarians do?
January 29th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Potch’s idea makes much more sense though.
January 29th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
What animals were in the movie? I don’t remember any animals.
It’s easy to say they treated animals well when there weren’t any.
January 29th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
peta is craaaaazy
January 29th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
I agree with Potch…although peta should have made themselves clear. Bella was eating a veggie burger, which I found interesting (being a vegetarian myself)…I suppose at least one of the actors is a vegetarian. And Lisa, there was at least one deer in the movie. And some animal the Cullens were stadning over in a flashback.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Maybe the PETA thing was based on the fact that Bella had all vegitarian meals in the movie (but I don’t think they were vegan). Still, it makes no sense.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
PETA…what a joke. We had venison for dinner - much like the vamp in the opening scene of twilight…LMAO
January 29th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
hahahaha good one PETA!!!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
LMFAO at peta… XD
January 29th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
XD Peta…
That’s hilarious.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
yeah, PETA, watch like less than a minute of the movie and a deer is killed!LOL!!!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Bella may have eaten all vegetarian but Charlie ate all steak so that probably cancels it out.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
ha ha. LOVE the PETA award!
January 29th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Stephenie ordered a turkey burger and that’s not very vegetarian.
PETA obviously trying to ride to coattails of the Twilight phenomenon. Kind of pathetic.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
That’s what I thought when I saw the article!
I have noooo idea what they were looking at.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Sure PETA jump on the train. I love Animals too… they’re delicious.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
GO MEAT
January 29th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Not to mention all charlie’s fishing or what the weird guy from the resturant does to his cat.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Maybe PETA meant that the animals they had on set (like the deer) were well treated? I can’t fathom that they meant the plot line was the most animal friendly. I mean, the first 10 seconds of the film is a deer being killed.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Maybe the PeTA award is for all those “free range” humans…
January 29th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
@lofi: That is hilarious! Free range humans LOL
January 29th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Yeeeeah, I was wondering about that…Maybe it really does stand for “People Eat Tasty Animals,” lol….
January 29th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
I think they appreciated that some of the people in the movie ate vegetarian. They are a pretty good organization in general. Over the top sometimes but at least their message is a positive one.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
By the way in response to the earlier comment. I think that guy in the movie just likes cats. You have a sick mind.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
you have a great sense of humor.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Well PETA people have never been the sharpest crayons in the box…
January 29th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I think the whole PETA things is funny & love the pics of Jackson!
January 29th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Omg PETA is hilarious, they must have only watched one second of the movie. I think thats funny that they gave the award to Twilight.
January 29th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
…Honestly? The PETA comment does not surprise me at all.
I think PETA people are frickin crazy and more then half the time do not REALLY understand what they are ranting about.
January 29th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Gee Forget about PETA.. what about Jackson?!?!?!? He’s a hottie!
January 30th, 2009 at 9:53 am
LMAO @ PETA. What a bunch of effing crazies. Makes me want to go buy a shirt I’ve been eyeing for a while…has a pick of a steak on it and says “Meat is murder…tasty, tasty murder” hahahaha
Yum delicious animal flesh.
January 30th, 2009 at 10:58 am
More proof that PETA only sees what it wants to see. Way to make the organization even less credible!
January 30th, 2009 at 11:15 am
sorry, Potch, but PETA are f*cking morons and terrorists. i was never clueless as to why they would consider the film, “no animals were harmed in the production of this film” etc, but PETA is just looking for publicity, by tagging on the catch “Twilight” to their press release.
PETA doesn’t care about animals, just their pocket books.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Potch,
PETA didn’t nominate the cast of Twilight. They nominated Twilight.
Twilight is about a group of people who eat only animals. The hero–who is painted as quite appealing–is a carnivore. Victoria wore fur and Charlie ate beef. NOTHING about this film promoted a vegan or animal-friendly lifestyle (at least, by PETA’s definition). PETA just wants attention.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:57 am
Well… James, Victoria and Laurent don’t eat animals…
January 30th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Yes, but the good guys do. Exclusively.
January 30th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I think PETA is just trying to get on the Twilight bandwagon. If PETA talks about Twilight maybe the mass amounts of Twilight fans will dig PETA. Nice marketing ploy!
January 30th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
According to PETA it would better for us to eat eachother. I loled though, that brought a much needed smile to my face…Flippin’ Hi-larious.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
PETA who?
I love Jackson Rathbone’s new photos!
January 30th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Good one PETA, they must have also missed Victoria’s fur shawl thing. And I agree with Orietta, some PETA people do care more about animals than actual humans.
January 30th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
wow PETA, that’s all i have to say.
love the pics of jackson!
January 30th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I’ve been poking around the PETA2 forums and frankly, I’m appalled by the tunnel vision of the members. A few people started threads questioning PETA’s logic in nominating Twilight, and the threads are filled with people saying stuff like, “they said they’re vegetarians!” and “the book mentioned that they are vegetarians, remember?”.
I…I seriously don’t know what to say to that.
January 31st, 2009 at 2:07 am
I’m amazed at the anger displayed in these comments. It’s really rather childish. Peta is an organziation that is very careful with it’s fact checking. They consider all aspects of film making when they make their choices. It’s kind of childish to think that they were talking about the content. It’s the most animal friendly movie of the year based on production, ect. If you spend any time reading the information on Peta’s website you will see that they are an intelligent organization. It’s kind of silly to attack an organization you know nothing about personally.
January 31st, 2009 at 2:29 pm
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE? Think about it.. Thank you POTCH. I am a non peta supporting vegetarian, and would normally bash them. But they are not deserving in this case.
January 31st, 2009 at 2:33 pm
ps. Everything in public uses popular culture to promote itself. even TWILIGHT.
February 1st, 2009 at 5:34 pm
i agree wit potch #11
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:19 am
Gee if ppl would just think a little bit further, they’d realise that the Cullens out of compassion, *chose* not live on the most obvious diet and that we human beings may also choose to take part in a compassionate lifestyle even though it seems odd to ‘everyone else’.
