There’s really not much we can report yet…but Eclipse is right around the corner folks!!

In the meantime, here are a few things you can do to prepare for the June 30th opening:

- Read (or re-read) the book so that you are ready for all of the action of opening night.

- Pre-order a copy of New Moon on DVD, BluRay, or on iTunes, which comes out on March 20th. Proceed to watch it everyday until Eclipse comes out.

- If you haven’t picked up a copy of the platinum selling New Moon Soundtrack, what are you waiting for?? Get it on iTunes, Amazon, or pretty much anywhere.

- Check out the music video for “Monsters” by Hurricane Bells from the New Moon Soundtrack (below). I’ll never mistreat another shopping cart as long as I live.

Between landing a song on the New Moon Soundtrack, co-hosting the broadcast of the New Moon premiere on MySpace, and having her cover of T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” in the most talked about episode of Gossip Girl this season, things have been quite busy for Anya Marina lately.

Well now there is even more good news to announce…”Whatever You Like” has made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart at #88!! The single also spent some time at #1 on the iTunes Alternative Chart and is still making a pretty strong showing overall.

To contribute to the madness, you can download “Whatever You Like” HERE!

If you already have it, delete it, and download it again.

Enjoy!

Last night, the Chop Shop crew was in attendance for the much anticipated The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie premiere. While the worldwide release of the film is just days away, we have a first look from the folks responsible for the fantastic music featured in the film and on the soundtrack.

Here are a few photos and highlights from last nights festivities:

Alex: “So great to see (and hear) all of the fans from our arriving car.  It was sad to disappoint them with Team Chop Shop rather than Edward or Jacob.  I loved working on this movie and enjoyed watching the finished film.  Yea Chris Weitz!”

John: “The cast of New Moon was so humble and were very gracious towards their fans. I was totally impressed. Weird seeing mohawk guy and wheel chair guy from Glee there. Even weirder was seeing 50 Cent and Richie Sambora. My highlight was seeing Larry David at the after party. It was surreal, like I was in an episode of Curb or something. Another highlight was getting to the theater and having Jennifer Love Hewitt ask if I know Anya and then proceeding to tell me how amazing she is.”

Kasey: “Limo. Red Carpet. Anya Marina Reporting Live. NEW MOON SCREENING! Music via CHOP SHOP! Hammer Museum After Party. Red Robed Servers. Real Live Wolves. Amazing Night.”

Brittany: “I loved walking into the Hammer museum, grabbing a highly anticipated glass of wine, and turning around only to see two of the most beautiful wolves right behind me.  The whole event was absolutely stunning and completely unforgettable.”

Ginger: “I would have to say one of my highlights was getting out of the car and onto the red carpet and being immersed into the New Moon frenzy. I really felt the impact of the film at that moment”

Also, soundtrack artist Anya Marina co-hosted the MySpace New Moon Premiere red carpet show last night and did a fantastic job! You can see some footage from the broadcast below.

The countdown to the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon has reached the final stages. Only a few more days until the drama between Bella, Edward, and Jacob unfolds on the big screen. Are you ready?

Here are a few things that you might need to get you through the final week:

1. Listen to The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and of course Nordstrom?

2. Tickets to see New Moon from Fandango.

Purchase online and get an exclusive remix of Anya Marina’s “Satellite Heart”. Why not?

3. Get some New Moon swag from Hot Topic.

My personal favorite is the packing tape. Kasey likes the lunchbox.

4. Watch the trailer 1,000 times.

You can find it pretty much anywhere, but here it is on the official New Moon site: http://www.twilightthemovie.com/

5. Read the book!

Not much time left, so if you want to read all 608 pages, you might need this.

That should be enough to hold you over right?  If not, Team Edward or Team Jacob??  Go!
