VANESSA'S NOT LEAH!!!!!!!

Few! I just found a extremely happy and exciting piece of news!

We have all heard of the rumor that Vanessa Hudgens has auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater right? Well it turns out that the whole rumor started on a Vanessa Hudgens forum site and it was never officially published because it was started before there was a confirmed director which would of made it awfully hard to audition for. And unless Melissa Rosenberg’s (the script writer) version of New Moon is way different than the book, Leah doesn’t show up until Eclipse (Yes there is the party at Billy’s, but it’s a very small part of the book and will probably be deemed unnecessary for the movie.).

And then when the official cast list were posted the rumour mill started to work over time in seeing that there was no Leah Clearwater on the list for open calls. Just reinforcing this Leah rumour even more!

This then lead to Ashley Greene being asked what she thought of Vanessa playing Leah. Now this isn't the direct quote but basically she said that she has never met Vanessa, but thinks she’s great, and she could be good at the part. But in the same interview she also said that she hasn’t read the New Moon script yet. then at the Golden Globes the other night Ashley was also asked that same question again and she replied with "She great!" So of course everyone just assumed that that was her confirming her earlier statement and that Vanessa did audition for the part and now the rumour has really taken off.

So 'Just Jared' (a twilight inside informer) decided to do the smart thing and called up and asked Vanessa’s management about it. According to Vanessa’s representative, "I don’t know anything about the audition. As far as I know, it’s just a rumor." I was sadly one of the people sucked into this rumour and for that I apologize.

But at least, for now, we are now safe! No Vanessa as Leah. But now this brings up another question: Was the rumor that Brenda Song also auditioned for the role of Leah just that, a rumour?


I will try and keep you posted on this!
