Vanessa Hudgens…One More Time With Feeling
By Twilight_News | January 13, 2009
So we are about as tired as all of you are on the Vanessa Hudgens did she or didn’t she audition.
Yesterday her management ,when asked by Just Jared, said no. They also linked to a casting call showing the part is not currently being sought. We figured Just Jared had it right because our gut instinct, based on a number of factors, said not possible.
Today Access Hollywood said yes and stood by their source 100% when questioned.
So we thought, OK who would know the answer, and might be willing to give us a quote on the record?"
*Lightbulb…screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg*
So we asked Melissa if Leah Clearwater appeared in her script, because in the novel Leah is barely a blip on the radar. She’s in the spaghetti dinner scene talking on the phone. It seemed to us that they probably wouldn’t be introducing Leah this movie given that fact.
So…drumroll please…according to Melissa Rosenberg, "if Vanessa is auditioning for the role of Leah, she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em. "
Furthermore, EW, is now backing our what we have been saying.
So for the sake of our sanity, let’s save the Leah obsession for Eclipse where it actually belongs. The main female character that we all want to know about in New Moon isn’t a werewolf at all. It’s a pint-sized vampire with a hell of a wallop named JANE!
January 13th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
YAY! First comment and NO VANESSA!
January 13th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Thank you for cleaning this up!
January 13th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I’m glad Vanessa probably won’t be doing it…I have nothing against her I just think she can’t pull off Leah.
But I am sad that Leah apparently isn’t in NM
January 13th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
(I was almost the first to comment! It said no comments when I click on it. Lol!)
January 13th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
lol (#4) sorry Christina Cullen…
January 13th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Haha I’m sure that’s a big slap in the face for Access Hollywood.
January 13th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Ha Ha Ha. Glad to hear it!
Keep voting for Rob.

January 13th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
YES!
January 13th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Vanessa Hudgens couldnt pull off Leah.. she would screw it up because she is made for disney channell movies and Twilight is too big for her..
January 13th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Hah! In yo face Accsess Hollywood! I’m glad that there is gonna be no Vaness Hudgens but I do wish there was going to be a Leah…
January 13th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
there is NO WAY that Vanessa Hudgens is going to get in to new moon! if she does, by some fluke, i shall burn the dvd.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Finally! We have that cleared out.
Worry no more.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
hahah i cracked up at melissa’s statement! im glad it was all false.. let’s just hope later down the road when they ARE casting for a leah… she’s not in line!
January 13th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
YES!
im sorry but i did not want vanessa as leah.
and since leah wasnet written into the scrpit that obviously means they’re sticking close to the book (:
January 13th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
OMG THANK YOU
January 13th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Thank you so much for clearing this up! I am SO relieved that there’ll be NO Vanessa.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Happy; I am so so Happy. Thank you Melissa, Thank You Lexicon. You just made my day. You guys are so smart. Thank you for Quashing the rumors
January 13th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
okay i belive everyone saying that vanessas not in it thank god! but im confused and truthfully mad about that whole melissa rosenburg thing her saying she didnt write anything for leah unless someone made up some fake script cause half the script got leaked on the internet and i read it half the story is changed around and leah so far has like three lines in it and seth is in it too. so idk somethings up.
**Those are fanfic scripts, there is a disclaimer at the top of the entry
January 13th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
ps the site its leaked on is called atwilightkiss.com and just go to previous entries and scroll down youll see it
January 13th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
OMGGG, thank you so much for going to an extremely credible source.
::relief washes over the fandom::
::celebrations across the nation because vanessa won’t be in the movie::
January 13th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Thanks for clearing that up. Im sad to hear that Leah wont be in New Moon. But Im glad that Vanassea WONT he her. Well as of now anyways. But atleast not this one! Thanks again.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
awww thanks u guys!! y’al are ahmazingg!! thank you soo much for clearing all this up!
its cool that know I dont have to go to a billion websites only to get conflicting sources!! Thanks for doing the dirty work for us!! =]=]
January 13th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Thanks lex! & Thank you Melissa.
Glad this rumor is finally done with. ^^
January 13th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Thank god.
Vanessa shouldn’t ever audition for the job when it comes up.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
THANK YOU .
like , really really really .
all this confusion for nothing .
January 13th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
THANK GOD! Melissa Rosenberg could not have said it any better!!!
January 13th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Thank God for the Lexicon. I’m sure we’d have gone crazy already without you guys/gals.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, LEXICON!! You guys rock for clearing this up for us.
And Melissa Rosenberg is brilliant.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
i’m quite confused. is this entry only confirming that hudgens is not auditioning as leah, or is it confirming altogether that she is not auditioning as ANY character in new moon?
January 13th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Oh, burn!!
That was awesome.
Thanks Lexicon!! And thank goodness she won’t be in it!!
January 13th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Thank you for clearing that up. And thank God she’s not in it!
January 13th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
What if Vanessa wants to play Emily?
January 13th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Yes I agree with Sherry. Melissa only says she did not audition for the role of Leah. It does not mean she didn’t audition for another part like– umm lets say “Jane” OME!!!!!!
January 13th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I for one would hate to see her as Leah. But I say if she wants to go after Jane let her. Give her a god forsaken chance people! Remember when Rob was announced as Edward? Everybody hated him! And look at him now! He’s got fangirls asking him to bite them! Just give Vanessa a chance. You never know…she might be perfect for the roll…
January 13th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
AMENNNNNNNN!
“…she’s written her own pages to read, ’cause I didn’t write ‘em.” hahaha, that was awesome Mellisa. And thank you twilight Lexicon for gettin this freakin mess cleared up.
Jeez, I dont wanna hear about Vanessa again.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I dont get why people are making such a big deal about Vanessa as Leah….can someone explain?!?!
im more anxious to know about JANE!!
January 13th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
YAY NO VANESSA! I seriously think she can’t act
and shes not a Leah either..
January 13th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
ugh, i just saw on E! news that it was true that Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for A ROLE in New Moon. obviously it’s not Leah. Leahs name was never even on the casting list that was put out. BUT… there was an EMILY. I don’t think we’re out of the woods with the whole Vanessa debacle just yet…
January 13th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
No Disneyettes in the movies please. No offense to them but they have their place in their own little world and it is not in the Twilight world. We can all sleep alittle better knowing this isn’t happening. Stop freaking the peeps out new media…
January 13th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
THANK YOU. You guys rock
January 13th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Well at least the Leah question is settled. Thanks Lexicon for your resourcefulness, Great idea to contact Melissa. I’d be ok if she was in it, maybe Emily (minor role). Summit has done a good job so far with casting and I will trust their decision. Just look at all the fuss over Rob at the beginning and the mooning over him later on, enough said. I really can’t wait though to find out who they choose for Jane, Aro, Marcus, Felix, and Demitri (and a few others).
January 13th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
YES
thank you thank you thank you!
this is the reason why the Lexicon is the ONLY fansite i get news from - it’s trustworthy.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
woo hoo! way to go lexiconners! you set it straight!!!! yay!
January 13th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
AMEN to EW–who really cares about Leah right now? I’M desperate to know who they cast for Jane too, I mean seriously.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!
Why the Lex rocks!
Now–to see who they cast for Jane XD
January 13th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
I’m soooo excited to find out who they get for the Volturi. I think that Jane will definitely be a hard position to fill. Almost as complicated as Bella. Because, think about all the descriptions of Jane…she looks like a girl yet could be a boy, young, angelic face but her evil faces when she’s mad and all that..so you have to pull all that together AND get someone who fits the physical description. GEEZ I do not envy the casting directors.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
DING DING DING! Light bulb came on! You ladies are geniuses! Thanks for asking Melissa, and I’m SO glad she didn’t add Leah in since shes barely there!!!
January 13th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Vanessa is an okay actress but she is to connected with the whole high school musical that you dont want it part of Twilight.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
jajaja i like the ‘once more with feeling’ somebody likes buffy the vampire slayer
January 13th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
TO ALEXX: that script on atwilightkiss.com is NOT the real script; it’s something that site owner, a Twilight fan, chose to write in response to not liking the movie. You should read the writer’s comments to his/her piece before claiming that’s an official script.
Speaking of terribly written scripts… it’s good to see Melissa is so straight forward but with a twinge of wit in denying rumors. Now, if she would just stick to the facts and personality of the books when she’s writing a movie script.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
to havrvinn thanks cause i wasnt actually sure if it wasnt or was. it was confusing from from the lexicon wrote so yay thank god thats not tha ctual script either cause they messed up half of it. and THANK GOD NO VANESSA ! disney needs to stay in its own little land.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
harvin* sorry i type to fast when i get excited lol
January 13th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Still think Leah should be introduced in N.M. ut not Venessa playing the role. Q’oriaka Kilcher would be the perfet Leah. but oh well. Hope to see her in Eclipse. It does make me wonder now though about how much detail Melissa has put into N.M now though. I’m a little worried.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
woohoo! I can sleep a peaceful sleep tonight
Thankyou dear Lexicon!
January 13th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I hope Vanessa is NOT playing any other characters
in the saga!

January 13th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
uh-uh, don’t be relieved yet… she could be JANE, or HEIDI, or EMILY, GIANNA. ugh… (shuddering) is this a confirmation that she didn’t audition AT ALL?
i hope it is.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
DAKOTA FANNING = JANEEEEEEE
January 13th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
danielle:
I think I could see Dakota as Jane.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Thanks for clearing this up. My sister and I have been so anxious about this since the rumor began spreading the web. But now that it is over we can relax. The only thing I regret is now my sister and I can’t start the anti-Vanessa mob we we’re planning lol.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
You guys are awesome, thanks for clearing this up. As for Jane, I wouldn’t mind seeing Dakota as her - she fits the characteristics.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
i dont know why people are going on and on about leah since she is barely in the book! why would a well known actress be someone who is barely mentioned in the novel.. and probably was not gonna be in the movie.?
and i dont think shes that important to be introduced in the movie because she doesnt turn into a werewolf until eclipse..
January 13th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I totally pictured Dakota Fanning while reading…
I’m just sayin…
January 13th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I’m just happy that Vanessa is not Leah. On the other hand, I agree Dakota Fanning would be a good Jane. If they can’t get her, just don’t get a Disney character.
January 13th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Amen! Jane is who I am waiting for!
January 13th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
la tua cantante–
OMG I totally agree a/b Q’oriaka Kilcher!!! She is my Leah
January 13th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
YAY!! Way to get the TRUTH!! You guys are freakin AMAZING and i’ll never get tired of saying this!!!
January 14th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Okay, seriously, I agree that we should put leah off for another year and a half. Im REALLY curious about the whole Volturi though. I aways imagined Jane as Dakota Fanning, even though Dakota is a bit old. Still, she has that creepy attitude that would be perfect.
January 14th, 2009 at 12:31 am
I can breath easily now.
I wonder if there is going to be auditions for the role of Jane. You know, for people who aren’t already famous. Some Twilight Mom’s might be interested in getting their girls to try out for the part.
January 14th, 2009 at 12:32 am
who’s auditioning for jane? it’s a really big part. as a fan i’m a bit nervous and anxious to see who fills this and other volturi roles.
January 14th, 2009 at 1:48 am

January 14th, 2009 at 11:06 am
thank you for actually going to a source we could trust and knows what they’re talking about, and i totally agree, we should be focusing on JANE not leah for all the obvious reasons, does anyone else realize that we’re going to actually know the whole cast in about 3 months when they start filming, how awesome is that?!
January 14th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
u realize that because of this post the media is going to have a mass craze over Jane, right?
let the debates begin…

Now, I’m worried.
If there are no pages in the script that talk about Leah, then that means that there’s no mention of Sam’s relationship with Leah. If they don’t mention that in New Moon, then it’s going to be hard to understand Leah’s angst in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
..I love Leah, I hope they don’t take her out of the movies altogether. She’s such an important character :/

January 14th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
NO VANESSA!!!! Jessica Szohr is a good choice
January 14th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
What’s so terrible about Vanessa H? She could be auditioning for Jane for all we know. She is petite and her facial features (i think) are very pretty, and doll like.
make up does amazing things (hello! Dr. Carlisle is played by a very tan brown haired man)
Be positive, leave the casting to the professionals- heck! at this point they know they can’t please everybody.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
What about Emily in New Moon?
January 14th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
YES!!! NO VANESSA!!!! she would’ve just killed the movie
January 14th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
YAY!! i think they’re totally right about obsessing over jane instead. lol.
January 14th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I think if Vanessa Hudgens touches any of these movies, I might just die a little inside.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
THANK GOD!
GRACE A DIEU!
GO RAIBH MAITH GO DIA!
thats me saying thank god in every language i know! im so glad Vanessa isn’t Leah that i used IRISH!!
thats excitement!
seriously, how could she go from happy-happy-smiley-smiley HSM girl to angriest person ever? c’est impossible!
whoever started this rumour gets the Volturi treatment as far as im concerned!
January 14th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I can’t wait to find out who plays Jane! When are we going to find out?! Isn’t filming starting pretty soon?!
January 14th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
=( I was rather excited to have Vanessa possibly in the movie! Not to mention, her presence could have brought a whole new round of fans who would not have normally gone to see the movie.
January 14th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
omg thank you so much i am so glad no offense to vanessa but she can’t pull it off sorry! lol.

January 14th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
OMG! Thanks so much for clearing this up! I was really mad when I heard she was auditioning for the part, and I’m very happy to hear its just a rumor! Now we just have to find someone for Jane!
January 14th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Thanks guys, u r amazing. But, the reports said that Vanessa DID audition for a part, just not Leah. She might do well in a part but… this job is just a little too much for her fragile polished shoulders to handle. Lexicon rocks!I hope she’s not in the movie because that might just ruin it for me. Does anyone know how nuch of the script she wrote already?
January 14th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
YAY!!! I hate that disney wanna be. No affense to anyone who likes her!! she just wouldnt fit the part of a vengeful girl that hates the leader of a werewolf pack!! Ok then…so who is gonna be playing the little phyco jane??? Thta girl is EVIL!!! she hurt edward lol
January 14th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
When are they doing casting for new moon? I desperately want to know who Jane will be. They arent putting leah in new moon? are they even putting in seth? They’ve GOT to put in seth, he’s one of the best characters and if they put in seth they should put in leah.
January 14th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Thank you for clearing that up. I’m so glad that Vanessa Hudgens will not ruin the Twilight name. Whoever came up with that rumor needs to be slapped on the wrists and sent to time out.
January 14th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
JANE…and Alec…YES!!! Bring em’ on!!!!
January 14th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
I’m glad she isn’t doing it either. I don’t think she can pull it off, nothing personal to her but she doesn’t seem like she could play and angry girl werewolf.
January 14th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I seriously want to c who plays JANE and ALEX!!!!!!!!!
I CANT WAIT TIL THE NEWZ IS RELEASED!!!!!!!
January 15th, 2009 at 1:25 am
So did she audition for any of the character roles? She is not a good actor & this movie is too BIG for her, she is disney material.
January 15th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Thank goodness…I think Vanessa’s a cute girl and all, but she’s Disney. She couldn’t pull off Leah who’s an angry native american werewolf. Vanessa just isn’t the type of person to do it
January 15th, 2009 at 4:44 am
OMG!!! I really really really hate it if Vanessa even get a part or a background in the movie!! But what if she auditioned and got the part for jane?! i mean if she’s in there, she’ll just ruin the whole movie and everything!
January 15th, 2009 at 5:03 am
cant’t wait to know who will be JANE…
January 15th, 2009 at 5:06 am
I think Vanessa will be nice if she plays Leah on Eclipse…
January 15th, 2009 at 5:19 am
what if vanessa auditioned for jane’s part? she looks italian enough to me. hahaha. whatever. she just looks so sweet. i don’t know if she can pull off a tough character. we’ll have to see for us to believe, right? there was this girl on smallville before. i forgot her name and which episode it was, but that girl also played some wolf girl there or something, if i’m not mistaken. my memory sucks but i guess she can do leah clearwater better than vanessa or some other sweet-looking actress.

January 15th, 2009 at 9:18 am
i was really looking forward to seeing who leah as going to be played by v_v oh well… at least it’s not vanessa hugdens!!!
now for the volti casting..
January 15th, 2009 at 11:31 am
I’m glad she won’t be in the movie! I like the fact that all of the characters weren’t super stars before twilight! They should stay on that road with the new characters in new moon. Besides leah doesn’t really become a huge character until breaking dawn ! She has a few parts in eclipse thought!
January 15th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

January 15th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I’m happy I was a little worried.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
seriously people are so dumb. I’m sorry, but the fact that you judge someone so harshly on a performance that has not happened yet proves that people are so blindsided by what they think a character should be like instead of what an actress can really do. I hope she does get it and proves to everyone she can take this role on.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Vanessa Hudgens has talent, but I think that she’s just too light weight to be Leah, or any of the characters. I’m really happy she’s not going to be Leah, but I hope that she’s out of the running for any of the others too.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
vanessa???! noooooooooooooooooooooo! blabla! w Robet and Kirten!!!!!!! love it!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
AAAHHH! What a relief!!!! Vanessa Hudgens in the role of Leah Clearwater??? I don’t think so! Sorry Vanessa, this is not High School Musical 4. I liked Melissa’s comment about the audition, that is funny!!!!

EW!sorry,i just had to say that..lol
January 15th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I am so glad that she is not going Leah, but i am going to miss that there will be no Leah Clearwater but the movie still has too be good duh… Edward and Jacob….. yummy!
January 15th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
They could still be casting for Leah Clearwater. They are shooting New Moon and Eclipse back to back.

that’s great!i wouldn’t have been able to sit through the movie if i’d been imagining Leah bursting into song the whole time.Now what we really have to worry about is the casting of the Volturi.
January 15th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Wow! I can’t believe that they even THOUGHT that V Hudgens would stand a chance… I mean, I don’t even like her in Disney Channel movies!!! Let alone TWILIGHT!?!
but, i am sad that they arent even gonna put a small bit of leah in. o well, we’ll wait for next year!
January 15th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Oh my gosh! Im’s so glad that Vanessa isn’t going to be playing Leah Clearwater. Leah is my favorite character in the series. And I would have been disappointed that they aren’t really looking for a full Native American. That’s what I want. Q’Orianka Kilcher would be okay, but they should make an attempt for a FULL Native American. Not one who’s like 1/4 or 3/4s Native. I’m full Native American and it kind of bugs me when people say that.

YES THANK GOD.
if she was in new moon, i would have some words for the casting director.
January 16th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
yes vanessa should be on new moon it would be cool if she was a werewolf

January 16th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
I hope the second movie hints at the bond between Bella and Edward more. I feel as if the stills showed more passion than the actual movie did. I liked the movie, but some of the film could have been better portrayed.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
I agree Vanessa Hudgens is not right for Leah, even in Eclipse. I think adding a big tween name to the mix will overshadow the others and make it cheesy.
January 16th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
I would love to play one of the vamps in Breaking Dawn. I loved the Amazonians or even playing Jane would be cool. All star gazing aside being a part of these projects would be awesome even as a creative mind.
January 17th, 2009 at 4:39 am

Why not give Vanessa a chance. She is a good actress. If she made mistake while she was still young, well kids make mistake all the time and I know she had learn a lot on that mistake she made. You People who hates her should learn to forget and forgive and try to move on.
January 18th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

THIS IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL AND SHE SOULD NOT BE TRYING OUT ANYWAY!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Personally, I think Leah should be reserved for an actress who can portray internal pain and suffering over a lost love. And sorry to Vanessa, but falling in love with your co-star in your first major film doesn’t really mean much suffering. Secondly, people shouldn’t stress about the ethnicity of Leah. There’s a bunch of people in the world who look American Indian, but aren’t. You can’t base anything really on skin color now. It just adds to the biast perspective of the world. So stop worrying about what exactly she’s going to look like and focus on more if the actress can play the part.
But thanks a ton for clearing this up! I had friends who just about freaked when I told them. One actually spit/sprayed her dr. pepper all over me when I told her.
One last thing - can you guys post info about auditions like dates and places so we can expect when to know who’s going to play what?
THANKS A MILLON!! :]
January 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I think that Vanessa could play Leah, and she could do it well but she’s not the best option available. There was a list of possible Leahs and I think that Kristin Kreuk would be the best Leah. If anyone has seen her in Smallville, you’d see why I say that.
I’m so glad that this rumor has been cleared up! There is so much going on with New Moon that just the filming is getting so much news, can’t wait for the movie. I hope that the script is as good as the one at atwilightkiss.com…and that Chris Weitz does it justice.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
ughh..thank God she’s not in the movie! I’m so tired of dumb and not too talented people getting auditions for important movies like this. Like Audrina from “The Hills”, are you kidding me? I think she can bearly read and she’s “studing the book”?. I’m praying for people that have real acting talent to be casted
January 29th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Vanessa is way to well-know to play in this movie. They need to get more not so famous people out there to play roles in movies. I mean Vanessa is already portrayed as a sweet, smart girl in love with Troy Bolton. I mean seriously.
January 29th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
yeah! this movie needs some fresh faces
February 6th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
yay vannessa is not going is there any chance there might be a kid in the scene [unexpierenced of course]
February 6th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
please email if there is cuz im kind of hoping i dont know if not i dont care just as long as you comment me back
February 6th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
I don’t know about this. It seems like Vanessa is to nice to play the role of Leah I mean even take her voice for example she is so soft! How could she pull of a mean voice even with a mean voice she would still sound light at some point.
February 7th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Yeah so none of us wanted Vanessa to play Leah but why take Leah out of New Moon completely cuz that means that my audition was for nothing.
I was hopin that auditions wouold continue and the producers would add a small part if they found the perfect Leah. Its sad, really cuz Leah is mentioned in New Moon and this is like leavin somethin out. Even tho it was a small part, i think they still shud have added her.
February 8th, 2009 at 11:51 am
THANK GOD NO VANESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and thanks for cleaning all this rumor stuff up
February 8th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Guys…the number1 woman-actress of the world is
KRISTIN KREUK
Kristin is very-very Beautiful woman!
I Am SUPER-FAN for Kristin Kreuk…is Special & talented actress
