Jackson Rathbone 100 Monkeys Performance-Video and Photos

Those ‘Twilight’ kids sure do spend a lot of time together. WTF? Are they trying to replace the Brat Pack? Sorry, Nikki Reed will never come close to Molly Ringwald, or even Ally Sheedy.

So here they are, in Vancouver last night at a 100 Monkeys show. In case you aren’t female or in case you don’t live within a 100 mile radius of one, Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Hale/Cullen) is the lead guitarist and singer of the band.

Nearly the entire cast came out to listen to Rathbone and his band including everyone’s favorite ‘we’re not a lesbian couple’ couple, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart. They can be seen in the video in the front row. At first, I was pretty sure Nikki was having a seizure, turns out that is what she calls dancing. Feel the beat, girl! I have been to many a ‘White Girl Dance Party’ myself. KStew was more subdued and opted for taking pictures of Rathbone as he played. FYI, the paps have way better cameras than that. You should really just invest in some of those pictures.

Others in attendance were Taylor Lautner (anyone else wondering how the 17 year-old got in?), Peter Facinelli, Kellen Lutz, and Ashley Greene who apparently spent her time there playing touch my hynie with Lost’s Ian Somerhalder. Oh! Me likes! It’s like my two favorite things in the world are merging: ‘Lost’ and the ‘Twilight Saga’. Somerhalder is in Vancouver shooting the new series ‘The Vampire Diaries’. I guess fictitious vampires dig Canada, eh?

Notably absent was Robert Pattinson. I don’t think he’s so much the dancing/pose for pictures in a crowded bar full of Twi-hards type.

What do we think of Rathbone’s singing and playing? He’s pretty decent, though the audio is poor. When you’re that pretty, it really doesn’t matter though, does it?

America Ferrera Joins “New Moon”? UPDATED

First Vanessa Hudgens is in, then she’s out. Next Dakota Fanning is offered a role outright. Now, “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera reveals that she may also be jumping onto the “Twilight” bandwagon. The actress admitted on her blog that she auditioned for the role of Emily in the “Twilight” follow-up “New Moon”.

Ferrera states via Crazy Days and Nights:

“I got to audition for ‘New Moon’ today! For the role of Emily. The casting director, you fans of the book will be glad to know, has read the books and loves them. And you can tell. His direction was spot on for the character. I loved the books. I would so love to be in the movie!!!”

For the few men who may be reading this, Emily Young is the fiancée (and imprinting victim) to Sam Uley-the leader of the La Push werewolves. She’s also the second cousin of Leah Clearwater, the role Vanessa Hudgens was once rumored to be up for.

I don’t know about you other Twi-hards out there, but this is starting to get on my nerves. I think I liked it more when the movie was full of no one I had ever heard of and Peter Facinelli (no one forgets Mike Dexter).

*UPDATE- It appears that this might be the wrong America after the role of Emily. Word is that it was a girl named America Young that is up for the role. She is a friend of the “Crazy Days and Nights” Editor and apparently the originator of this story (Celebuzz) got the two America’s mixed up. (Thanks to Steph)
