The Twilight Saga: New Moon Volturi whet the appetite for more in Eclipse

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Volturi whet the appetite for more in Eclipse
In the Twilight Saga, the Volturi are a trio of ancient vampires who are as close to being the royalty of the vampire world as possible. The Volturi are the enforcers of order in the vampire world. They do not tolerate vampires bringing attention to themselves as their law is that no one reveal that vampires exist. They are thousands of years old and have remained in power by forming a coven of vampires with special gifts. The three are Marcus who has the power to sense relationships, Caius with no known powers, and Aro, the ringleader with the power to know everything his subject knows when he touches them. Aro, played by Michael Sheen, is the leader of the Volturi coven.

The potential for these characters is prominent in New Moon. Hopefully, Eclipse and nay subsequent movies capitalize on their strengths. Meanwhile, here are what some of the Volturi coven actors are up to:

* Michael Sheen who plays Aro will be in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland out early 2010.
* Jamie Campbell Bower, the actor who plays Caius will be in the upcoming London Boulevard along with both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films.
* Christopher Heyerdahl, the actor for Marcus will be in an upcoming Stargate: Extinction.
* Daniel Cudmore, the stuntman/actor who portrays Felix, the Volturi guard in New Moon wont have any major roles soon, though he has a small part in a 2009 Steven Segal flick, Driven to Kill.
* Dakota Fanning the actress who portrays Jane in New Moon and Eclipse can be seen with fellow New Moon co-star Kristen Stewart in The Runaways.

Dancing with the Stars 2009 season finale winner is Donny Osmond
In the Dancing with the Stars 2009 season finale Donny Osmond was crowned the winner, and won the mirror-ball trophy on Tuesday night. Season 9 of Dancing with the Stars was good this season, and it has created quite a buzz on the internet with people searching every week to see who was voted off, and about the cast.

The final three dancers who competed for the Dancing with the Stars 2009 trophy were Kelly Osborne, Donny Osmond, and Mya. The judges gave top billing in Monday night’s show to Mya, then Donny Osmond, and the Kelly Osborne.

Whitney Houston performed “Million Dollar Bill” Tuesday night on the dance floor and got the crowd ready to go. Whitney Houston looked and sounded amazing. Later, she performed I want to Dance with Somebody.

There was also another funny little skit about the Dancing with the Stars losers club, which starred some of the funny eliminations that were eliminated off first in each season. Ashley Hamilton who was voted off first in this season was awarded a star studded jacket.

Each of the stars that have been voted off this season danced a short dance with their partners (in the order that they were voted off) in a final wrap up. Then the three finalists danced their best dance of the season before the winner was announced. Kelly Osborne had a standing ovation and the crowd cheered her name over and over.

They also did a short story about the number of people that were either sick or injured this season. With the swine flu in prime season during the 10 week show taping, many of the cast members were sick.
