Taylor  Momsen

(born July 26, 1993) an American actress, musician, and model. She portrays the character Jenny Humphrey on The CW television series Gossip Girl. She is also known for her role as Cindy Lou Who in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

This rumor hit the internet in the last few days but I have not received or seen any conformation from Lionsgate.  So far only gossip sites that follow the Gossip Girl star have the information on this one.  It seems there was a press release from MTV but the article has since been taken down. This raises some eyebrows…  We will keep you posted and want to know what you think.

EDIT: This seems it could be an April Fools Joke that has spreed past our HG community…  Check the comments below.  Thanks Linds!

Asked about sci-fi action film The Hunger Games, Jacobson said, “The author (Suzanne Collins) is adapting it herself and she is writing away as we speak so I’m very excited about that.”

There’s no director or cast on board for that film yet. “We’ve had a lot of interest from directors,” she said. “Kind of an embarrassment of riches in terms of tons of directors who have called about it, but we didn’t want to attach anybody until we had a script and knew we were making the movie so that we didn’t end up having somebody get attached and then take something else and then not know what to do about staying with them or not. So we are waiting until we have our script before we go to directors, but there’s been some interest from great people.”

Lionsgate is targeting a 2011 release for the film. “[The studio] has been incredibly gonzo about having the movie. We’re getting the script in and our goal is we hope to attach a director late spring and make the movie in the fall for release anytime fall ’11 or later. But that’s if everything goes perfectly on the script. If we take more time on the script, we’ll just go a little bit later. But our hope is to be making this movie in the fall,” she explained.

Also, just for kicks, I put together a Book Trailer for MY upcoming book!

Excerpt:

I darted over the dark earth and rock and all I could hear was my own breath thrashing in and out of my chest. I wanted to collapse and wail; however, my pursuer would not allow me that relief.

The ground gave way to the current that belonged to a river, a river that desired nothing more than to pull me under like a kelpie. As I found purchase on the other side, I looked over my shoulder. Behind me was a great black wolf, standing at the ready. He looked me in the eye, then let out a low growl before diving into the water after me.

“Red.” it called to me. “Red.” It’s voice was all around me, as if spoken by an abundance of  men.

Falling to the ground I felt something wrap around my legs. “Stop!” I fought the monster’s pull.

“Red, stop it.” I thrashed as tears started to brim in my eyes, lashes locked and shut tight. Then I just stopped, giving myself up for a merciful death…

Ah! Happy dancing!… But really, awesome job Suzanne!  She must be on cloud nine…  I hope everyone leaves her some nice comments below!

Hi!

First of all, I really enjoy your website; it’s so nice to share the same enthusiasm for the books.

I am a high school English teacher in Erie, Illinois (small town near the Quad Cities–opposite side of state from Chicago).  After I read The Hunger Games this past summer, I knew I had to get it for my 9th grade general English class.  This group is almost all boys, all have very low reading skills, and all HATE to read.  I convinced my principal to buy 15 new hardback copies for them (we’ve NEVER purchased hard copy novels–only paperbacks!).  I told him that I had a gut feeling that these kids would love this book & it would be money well spent.  Of course they loved it and now we’re trying to convince him to buy hard copies of Catching Fire!  I’ve never read a book in class that every kid seems to love–until The Hunger Games.  It’s so inspiring to see these kids excited about reading.

So this brings me to my reason for this email.  I’ve been making bookmarks for my students for years.  It’s cheaper than buying them & I love to introduce a book we’re reading & get them excited for it by giving them their own bookmarks before we begin reading.  Most of the boys could care less about bookmarks…until they got their Hunger Games bookmark.

I’ve been selling my bookmarks during the summer and over the holidays on eBay for a few years.  In recent years, the Twilight ones have done very well.  Then this fall I noticed NO ONE makes The Hunger Games or Catching Fire bookmarks.  Since my students we’re so excited for their bookmarks, I decided to start listing them on eBay.  Just this week I listed a few & plan to list more as we get closer to the holidays.

I thought I’d let you know in case you want to share a link with your readers (this is just one of the bookmarks–click on “seller’s other items” to see more):

After doing a little research on the internet, I couldn’t find any bookmarks to purchase for the books.  This saddens me, because I think they are worthy of more exposure & excitement.  I hope you agree!

Thanks for reading this incredibly long note & keep up the great work on your website!

Sincerely,

Tracee
