Not to say "I told you so," but, I told you so. Not that anyone was disagreeing with me. Not even in theaters a week and already the Twilight sequel New Moon has gotten the green light. And this when it hasn't even made $150 million yet (though director Catherine Hardwicke said it's on track to, which I guess is just as good). And while this may come as great news for fans (not that anyone was surprised, really), it comes as even greater news for the film's stars, who will each make $12 million dollars apiece working on it. Quite a salary hike, considering they each made only $2 million on the first film.
Depending on the shooting locations for the film, which has sequences that take place in Italy and Alaska, they could be getting some nice destination vacations along with the mad bank. Not too shabby for a guy who got killed in a graveyard in Harry Potter and a girl who was stuck in a Panic Room with Jodie Foster.
I have some advice on how they can spend their newfound wealth. Among my many ideas for Robert Pattinson are the fairly simple suggestions of buying himself a hairbrush, and maybe a whole day spent at Juan Juan. If he's good enough for an Oprah makeover, my friend, he's good enough for you. While you're at it, maybe send some extra change to your managers and publicists to secure a spokesperson deal with Vidal Sassoon or something. My irritation with your unkempt hair makes me feel like an old lady, and I'm not even 30 yet. Help me help you. As for Kristen Stewart, you're a beautiful girl, my dear, but after telling Letterman you'd like to drive from London to Russia, I would maybe invest in a map and a snorkel for your car. I kid, I kid. Mostly.

Uh, Chunnel?
Jason, the chunnel is only used by trains. No vehicle access.
You can put your vehicle on a train that will transport it through the chunnel. It's not driving but Ms. Stewart could take the same car from London to Russia if she chooses. I'm trying to remember what Ewan MacGregror did.
