The web is abuzz that the coveted role of Leah Clearwater, the female werewolf in New Moon, may be going to either Vanessa Hudgens or Brenda Song. Both are 20 year old Disney alumni with singing/acting careers. Here are the positives for each actress as we see them:

Vanessa Hudgens:

* Native American Heritage
* As a singer, could contribute to New Moon soundtrack
* Given High School Musical role, there could be Werewolf Dancing !! (kidding…)

Brenda Song:

* Black Belt Taekwondo ability, does some of her own stunts
* Strong reviews for Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, in which she was the star
* Did we mention frakkin Taekwondo!?

Something to hold us over till New Moon hits in November–Summit has released the swank official box art for the Twilight DVD, which will be a two disc special edition, and has announced a tentative release date: March 21st. Amazon has also put up a pre-order notification page so you can get an e-mail when it’s available for pre-order.

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

very best

Chris Weitz

I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.

"I'm in love with you, Bella," Jacob said in a strong, sure voice. "Bella, I love you. And I want you to pick me instead of him. I know that you dont feel that way, but I need the truth out there so you know your options. I wouldnt want a miscommunication to stand in our way."

- Jacob Black, Eclipse

"How can I put this so that you'll believe me? You're not asleep, and you're not dead. I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy."

-Edward Cullen, New moon

"Sleep my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. Therefor it shall always be yours. Sleep my only love."

- Edward Cullen, Eclipse

Because i can take the heat.

Because he didn't leave.

Because he fights for the girl he loves.

Because werewolves are hot!

Because I like my men with a pulse. Thanks.

Because he's running around naked all the time.

Because Jacob is too sexy for his shirt.

Because real men don't sparkle.

Because he'll have you sweating in no time.

Because werewolves do it better.

Just because.
