How I love Twitter feuds.
Twilight actor Alex Meraz, who plays buff wolf pack member Paul (on the far left), razzed his co-star Taylor Lautner (who plays the even-buffer Jacob, second from right) for appearing in the schmaltzy Valentine’s Day ensemble cast romantic comedy that’s coming out next week.
Last night, Meraz posted on Twitter:
Sorry Taylor but the movie “valentines day” looks lame and desperate it cries out”look we have all the biggest starz in 1movie pleez watch!”

Oh, I’m sorry Twilight actor Alex Meraz. Did you have a career before Twilight or something? I must have missed it. And thanks to the producers and directors and casting agents of that $485 million vampires-and-humans-in-love movie franchise, you’re now famous enough that you sometimes brag about having to wear disguises in public to ward off obsessed fans.
I never knew that sour grapes were part of the wolf diet.

Gee, that makes me feel even better that I’m ignoring this series.
That is quite possibly the most homo-erotic picture I have ever seen. I haven’t questioned myself this much since The Crying Game.
And I won’t even mention what guys spelling pleez and skeem does to me.
Werewolves are such prima donnas, that’s why I’m on Team Edward.
Team Harry. Enough said ( Stan come & clean my monitor!)
It’s now official: I am OLD. “Heartthrobs” just get skeevier with every passing year, and I’m talking about the YOUNG guys. The guy on the far right, in particular, could not possibly look more self-consciously posed; I’ve seen more natural-looking Ken dolls than that.
Wow, you people need to chill out! It’s not as if he meant to slag Taylor off. He was just telling the truth. I mean, seriously, do you guys really think that all those famous actors ended up in the same movie by accident? Of course this movie is all about making money off of famous names. And just BTW, you do know that the disguise thing was a joke, right? Or didn’t you look at the picture? If you had then you’d realize how stupid you look to those who actually know a thing or two.
Alex Meraz is an awesome guy who takes the time to interact with his fans, and not only when he is “on duty” with the Twilight Cast. He actually responds to his fans on twitter through direct messages because he thinks it is important. He is not some snob who thinks of himself as something else. Do your homework, pleeeeeeez. (Yes, I just spelled that wrong on purpose. Just like Mr Meraz did in his tweet, in case you didn’t quite catch that!)
There’s nothing that makes my job easier than people who star in blockbuster films accusing rival actors of selling out. He may be a nice guy but that doesn’t mean he’s not coming off as a jealous hypocrite.
While it is in bad form to slag your cast mates’ other projects, I can’t disagree with Mr. Meraz either. The movie does look lame and it is obviously cast as a date movie draw for every possible demographic. After the unfortunate success of last year’s “He’s Just Not That Into You,” somebody is trying to repeat the same formula with everyone from Julia Roberts (for the old people) to Jessica Alba (for the guys) to well, Taylor Lautner (for the 14 y.o. girls on Team Jacob).
When’s “The Expendables” coming out? Now THAT’s my idea of a great ensemble cast.
Chrilly, did you ask your parents if you could use their computer?
My pick for a great ensemble cast is: Jack Lemon, Peter Faulk, Tony Curtis, etc in the Great Race.
NOBODY associated with “Twilight” or its spawn needs to be slagging on anybody, ever, anywhere, and I’m including “Charles in Charge” and “Small Wonder”.
Literally. “A thing or two.” About someone from a movie about sparkly twee veggie vampires and vintage-quality CGI werewolves. Jupiter Cornflakes, it’s not even sporting anymore.
Doing your “homework” is apparently code for investigating all the many wonders that is Alex Meraz.
And I still love that poster. They look like a group of stunt doubles for a Mario Lopez/Erik Estrada buddy cop flick.
Make it happen Hollywood. Make it happen.
I always wonder about this kind of stuff. I mean, on its surface it looks like just what Holly points out. But what if it’s just publicity stunt that feeds on controversy? I mean, who ever even HEARD of this “Valentine” movie before this? Not me. Alex and Taylor are probably laughing about this…all the way to the bank. Which, good for them, but still.
CAT FIGHT!!
It is now my life goal to use “Jupiter Cornflakes” at least once a day.
Thank you, Beige.
Oh, and Chrilly, when I was your age I used to think that about Simon LeBon and (god help me) Billy Idol.
You know you are old when the heart throbs are really close to your own sons’ age. And the only people who would really care if the actor is nice and responds to a tweet would be silly young girls.
flirt, Billy Idol?!?!? REALLY?
Oh, man. We’re about the same age then, flirt. ‘Cause back when the earth’s crust was still cooling, Le Bon was my luhuhHUHvah.
I didn’t know who any of these jackasses were before the Twilight travesty. And I still don’t, for the most part. Therefore, none of them are famous. In fact, shots from New Moon are probably the first time in my life I’ve looked at buff dudes who lost their shirts and NOT wanted a piece of that. And that’s saying something, guys.
Then there’s whats-his-face, who is known to me as “that one hawt wizard boy who’s gone horribly, horribly wrong.” He was so attractive for the, like, 30 minutes he was in Harry Potter. He is still not famous…he is a cautionary tale.
I’ma stick with Team Pearce.
Swede, I can only admit that because NONE OF YOU KNOW ME. Otherwise I would deny, deny, deny.
Here’s my other shameful confession for Beige: I used to have all the Duran Duran videos on tape. I would watch them over and over. And over. And, well, you get the picture.
Yup. Same age, all right.
I was secretly in love with George Michael and Wham! So much for wearing the rose colored glasses back then. And Simon Lebon? Oh, yum
The Roman Polanski in me would totally eat Taylor Lautner up. But yeah… this other guy should not be throwing stones. They might as well list him in the credits as “Native American guy #2.” I can name most of the Twilight cast only because I have a ridiculous, useless, memory for things like that. Other than my zeal for arcana….. I got nuthin’. So keep on tweeting, buddy, and know that you’ve got two more movies to make before you fade (back) into obscurity.
FYI, Beige and company are all slightly younger than my older siblings, it seems.
So don’t feel old.
I think they all look constipated. Of course, I also maintain Jacob has serious anger issues and would likely be a date rapist and/or abuser in his later years. (Really, I am too old to be THAT into the series, but I did enjoy the books in general.) I don’t know if it’s age or taste, but those boys do nothing for me.
This pic also proves that the Conan Twilight PAs bit was spot on. Sometimes, these things parody themselves.
Even the Twilight actors are getting into the whole pettiness of the saga. Sad….
I was a John Taylor kind of girl myself.
I feel so close to you all now!
Since we all seem to be sisters, or something.
Egads. This means that years from now, today’s Twilight fans will be making disgusted faces at the 82-lb., begelled, toenail-biting rentboys their daughters are squeeing over. I can’t decide if that proves that there IS justice, or that there isn’t.
