TwilightGuy in Entertainment Weekly

July 25th, 2008 at 12:05 am by Kaleb Nation

I just did my first TwilightGuy magazine interview, and who better to do it with than Entertainment Weekly? Everyone saw their Twilight cover story last week, and one of the writers for the magazine asked me to answer a few questions for their Feedback section in this week’s issue.

Some of my confessions include:

- What have I learned in my research of Twilight?

- Have I become a fan of other Vampire Romances?

amongst other startling (and perhaps shocking!) revelations you can only read about in this week’s Entertainment Weekly

As I haven’t exactly seen the actual interview in print yet (it is released today), if someone happens to get a hold of a copy before me and it says I answered a question with:

Bala! Baloo! I hate Twilight! I (oink)ing hate it all! Snort! Baboo! Bala!

then know that somewhere along the line, my words were edited by an evil magazine printing computer. So everyone get a copy and tell me how you think I did!

As for other news:

- TwilightGuy.com just recently got it’s 940,000th hit! Thanks for coming: one-million will be here in a flash!

- I am almost finished with a new song for my soundtrack. For those of you who enjoyed my music last time, I will have a preview up on my website as soon as I have some of the mastering done. I’ll post a note when it’s up.

- I am considering adding a chat page on this site after August 3. I’ve realized that with the piles of email, I don’t get to talk to everyone in a timely manner, and the chat might be more available for me to pop in. So, if anybody would visit the chat, let me know so I can gauge if it’s worth putting up.

NOTE: Remember: the interview should be in the magazine that is released TODAY, NOT the issue DATED JULY 25 (it will be in the issue with the Dark Knight cover, dated August 1). So check the magazine first! The issue might not be available immediately in all areas. — Kaleb

I subscribe to EW and here's the conversation I had with my Dad after he read your article before me

Dad-"There's this really cool guy who read Twilight that has an interview in here."

Me-"Do you mean Kaleb Nation?"

Dad-"Yeah, apparently he has some website or something...i think i'm gonna check it out"

Me-"What?!" I'm angry because I told him about this website FOREVER ago but her refused to check it out.

Dad-"What's wrong?"

Me-"Nothing" (I was over my minor freak out)

Fuji

alibeans

Kayla

Brittany K.

Elise

a chat page would be cool:)

Aubrey

Oh, by the way, as far as the Chat question goes, that's a definte yes.

Aubrey

I'm actually holding my copy of EW right now and you're definetly in there Kaleb. In the Feedback section right between the Twilight cover and The Racial Divide. But the cover of the magazine says August 1, 2008. Whatever, congrats on getting notice for being such a fabulous Twilight fan!!!

JanetH

Kaleb,
I picked up a copy of the EW Aug 1 edition today. My husband thought I was buying it for the Dark Knight article on the cover.
NO! Silly man!
I'm buying it for the Kaleb Nation "Twilight Guy" interview!
THIS has GOT to be one of the TOP BEST THINGs to happen for you! WOW! How fantastic! Way to Go, Kaleb!

Lauren

hmm.. would i enter the chat... umm DUH!! lol i haven't seen the issue yet but I'll try to get my hands on it.

Misty

I saw your article in the Aug. 1 issue of EW. It's on Page 5. I love your photo on it. That's how most of my male students look when they're reading the book.

Kimmie

yeah definatly do the chat

Rachel

I just got the Entertainment magazine last night and I saw you within the first few pages! If people don't know which Entertainment edition your in, it is the magazine with only Christian Bale in full Batman gear on the cover.

Your comments are witty and make me smile. Continue reading "Twilight" for... 'research'. *winkwink*

And if you need a scan of the article, e-mail me and I'll scan it online for you.

Ja Ne

Mmary

I don't think you would have any problem with people not visiting the chat room.

Stephanie K.

Congrats Kaleb! I'm certainly going to go out and look for it. :) Of course, it's going to have to wait until I can talk again, but I can't wait to read it! I'm sure you did a great job. :)

Samantha

I'm definately buying a copy!

The chat thing would be awesome, though.

Caitlin

Wow.
That's pretty rad.
I can't wait to get my copy in the mail!
:D

Having a chat page is a wonderful idea. Dooo it.
haha

JC

that is AWESOME!!!!!!! i bet you're excited!!!!

can you post chapter 5 of new moon SOON? and when do we find out about who won the CD??????

also, as an author/writing-type-person, what is your opinion on multiple ! and ?s after sentences to demonstrate how excited/curious you are???

Audree

Haha! I am excited that the new EW has The Dark Knight on the cover!

And also that you have an interview for me to read. How exciting for you and us alike! Congrats, friend.

Wren

YES! I'll use the chat, when I can, if everyone's polite, if it's an interesting topic, if you're there, all that and I'll stay for hours!

Mara-Kate

having trouble here...EW is available in canada right? maybe not... as for your question though i would definitely use the chat option :)!!!

Sarah

Yay I get EW magazine in the mail! Guess I better go get the mail then...

Carol

So, as my previous comment stated..I bought the wrong magazine this morning BUT I HAD to go the right one..and you did *amazing*. I HAD to go get it so I went to Best Buy (since they don't keep things up to date at Borders therefore me buying the wrong mag.) and I probably had people staring at me when i found page 5 and squealed. :)

P.S. I loved the answer for "What have you learned from reading Twilight?"

Katrina

Congratulations Kaleb! This is very exciting, you are becoming more famous everday, you will have to make a blog about how your life is once you are completely famous =]

I will most definitely try the chatroom, I never have before, but for a chance to talk with you, I will =]

With Respect and Admiration,
Katrina

Rose

go, kaleb! congrats on the interview! and definitely do the chat, that would be so cool!!!!!!!!

Kassi

Agreeing with Anonymous up near the top. Duh. 8D. Do it, Kaleb!

Devika!

Woo! Congrats, Kaleb!

Alli

I congratulated you once already, but I'd like to do so again just because it's so awesome! Also, I have an announcement: Calling all Twilight fans from Memphis, TN and the surrounding area!!! You'll never guess who will be at the Breaking Dawn release party at the Barnes & Noble by the mall (if you're really from there you'll know where "the mall" is): Seth Meyer! Stephenie's webmaster brother! I'm going off secondhand info from store worker, to my friend, to me, so if it's wrong, I'm sorry, but I think it's right and I'm so excited!!

Ley Ley

Whoa! Awesome man! Totally proud of you =D
I might actually buy this copy of the magazine.

Ryan

There was already an edition with The Dark Knight on the cover... it was before the big Twilight cover one. Is there going to be another i guess?

Stephanie R.

OH MY GOSH Congragulations Kaleb! That is the coolest. I'm so going to buy the issue.

and i think the chat thing is a cool idea. :)

Congrats AGAIN! :D

Maggie

This is huge news! You didn't disappoint. Haha. Congrats on getting interview by EW that is awesome!

A chat room would be great to have on this site. But I'd afraid of you running into spoilers from the other books when a bunch of rabid fans gather. :-/

Jessica

I got my issue of EW and I seen you in it. Congratulations on getting in. Hope your enjoying the Twilight series as much as us GIRLS are. Have a good one. ~ Jess

Lari

A chat thingy would be cool! Please!

Cali

Congratulations on the interviw, and yes, please, make a chat box!

Robin

I agree with everyone else- a chat box would rock!

Ms. Paranoia

How very awesome! I'd love to read that issue when I have the time to look for it xD

And a chat box would be very cool Kaleb, I'd chat in there as much as I could, I promise!

Britt.

Congrats on the interview in EW! I'll be looking for it. :D

And I like the idea of a chat-type thing here. It would be pretty awesome. :]

Saana

A chat room would be awesome!PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE put it up!
<3 always!
~S~

Melinda

Oh Wow! An interview in Entertainment Weekly?! That's big stuff. And pretty exciting! I will have to check that out.

I think the chat room is a great idea! I know soo many people would use it. And how exciting to be able to chat with you! Time to pick at Kaleb's brain!! haha.
:)

Carol

great...I bought the wrong one (july 25) . That's what I get for not checking here BEFORE I leave the house.

Brittney H

Way to go with the EW interview! I'm glad you put that note about which issue it is, because I was about to run to Barnes & Noble and get the issue I had seen last night. You should definitely do a chat! We love talking to you : )

mehek

yeah a chat room would be awsome!

Flute_Cullen

Yes!!!! Put that chat! It would be great!!!!

ps: Congratulation for the interview... I'll check it on the internet because I'm italian and it would be impossible to find that magazine XD

Hayli

aw congrats, Kaleb! can't wait to read it :)

Christa

I'm going to head out and get myself a copy right now. :) I actually purchased a subscription to EW just recently, but it'll probably take a few weeks before I start getting issues in the mail.

I've been following your blog since the beginning, although I haven't commented until now. I was actually slicing a nectarine a couple minutes ago when it hit me just how successful your book will be once it's published. You've probably heard this all before, but considering your amazing success as the "Twilight Guy", you've already developed a huge fanbase for your books just because we Twilighters take care of each other. I know I'll definitely be in line for your book once it hits the shelves. :)

Jessie

I will definately check that out ASAP!!! And the chat option sounds like an AMAZING idea.

Judee

Congrats Kaleb!! I also received my new EW with YOU on page 5. This is great, you done good! You should get lots of new fans from this. Thanks for entertaining us .... I'm looking forward to reading your books!

Chrystina

A chat room! This would take discussions to a whole new level. If we are just chatting with you, that is cool, but I think an open forum would be "interesting" to say the least. KALEB - I bet you $20 and a stick I found that you will have to shut down an open chat room within the first 30 days of going live due to arguments.

amelia

i waited patiently all morning for the mail and lo and behold my new EW is here and there you are page 5!! A lovely little 2 page spread on the Twilight issue.(In case anyone is still checking the Watchmen issue, the interview is in the Aug 1 Knight Fever issue)

Lisha

I just found your site today, but I am curious if you read Midnight Sun, I didn't find it on your list, and what you thought of it so far.

Dottikance

A chat page would be awesome

Heather

I was coming here to comment on the fact that I squealed when I saw you in my issue of Entertainment Weekly and, lo and behold, you have a post about it! It was quite a shock and I love that the male Twilight fanbase is represented. Thanks for defending Edward Cullen to a lot of the hate mail about how Edward is controlling and abusive =)

Amanda123

I vote for chat. Again.

Stephanie

Yay! Just another reason to visit the bookstore.
Besides, today, Borders is releasing the Twilight calender!!

vivs

Congrats!!!!! thats so cool! cant wait to get the EW magazine so I can read all about it! and i would most DEFINITLY go on the chat. wahoo! go kaleb! u rock!

Becca

yay Kaleb!!! Congratulations!!!!

I gotta go read that copy now =]

Hazey

@ 92, Victoria. Thanks so much, I'll look out for it! :)

Sorry for the nearly off-topicness ;) Can't wait to read the interview!

Chelsea

Congrats! I think it would be awesome to have a chat page. I look foward to seeing your interview.

Lauren

Kaleb, you are in the 8/1 issue, with the Dark Knight cover. I just got it.

Catherine

Maybe if you put a chat page in, I'd actually get to talk to you every-so-often. :P Hmph.

Savannah

Awesome! I get my issue in the mail tomorrow! Can't wait to read it. I think a chat room would be awesome!!

Sarah*C

SWEET!!! I get Entertainment Weekly too!!! I will def be keeping an eye out for your article!! :)

and I think a chat would be an awesome idea!

Alli

I want that magazine!!! I have to read it. And I would DEFINITELY participate in that chat!!! I'm excited if you can't tell.

Lara

Lara

xx

Mary-Shannon

I found it! Just got it in the mail!!!! Way to go Kaleb!!!!

Sammy

Holy crap, yes!! I would abso-totally visit the chat page, like, every waking second!!! lol =D

Cindy

Ah, next week would be better...like someone else said, everyone will be hitting bookstores for midnight release parties for Breaking Dawn, and there's EW with your interview. Double happy, right? :-)

Chat room: excellent idea. I don't know how much I could really contribute seeing as how I am a few years beyond the median age group for the series (closer to Stephenie's age, actually), but I've read each book 4 times now, I'm headed to Seattle with a friend for the Breaking Dawn show (and Forks afterward), and I think I can hold my own. :-) If everyone will have me! ;-)

Monica

I really should subscribe to EW...can't wait to read it!

I would love a chat page! That sounds most excellent.

Hope

I would definitely use a chatbox. :) Add one, Kaleb!

illinijunky10

OMG i would totally chat on here um Twilightguy ROX!

Jen

I have the July 25th issue in front of me right now, and I can not find anything about you in it. So it will be in next weeks hopefully! Look forward to reading it.

Kari

congrats! I hope to one day be a reporter! :) im def. going to get one! yay! i would most definitely use the chat system! its like my best friend! keep writing!!!

Victoria

@ Hazey comment no. 59;

I know Vroom $ Dreesman used to sell foreign magazines. It depends on the type of magazine how far behind they are. I used to always buy Kerrang magazine from the UK there. I know that Brunas on large stations also sell some foreign magazines. And if you live anywhere near Amsterdam I would go to the American Book Store if I were you, they sell loads of foreign magazines. They might even send you one in you phone them, I don't know.

Good luck !

PS. Sorry Kaleb, for the nearly off-topic comments. Here a cheer just for you; Yay, go Kaleb !!

Court

that sounds very kool.
congrats!!!!

im still looking for the next chapter though.....

but take ur time.
i know you got tons goin on. :]]

Haley

Who wouldn't want to chat with you?

Jenica

Oh wow.

WORD! :D :D

*plans an expedition to go seek this interview out* :D

sara

http://www5.mygazines.com/maga...

That is a link to the July 25 issue of EW but there is nothing in there about Twilight. If you want you can go back to that sight next Friday and see if the interview is there.

Lara2

I can't wait to read it!!! Now I can hide this issue in my room along with the one with pictures of Edward.

Of course I'd love a chatroom! That'd be awesome!

Corinne!

Kaleb! That's so exciting! I'm so happy for you! Ahhhhh!!! yayyy!!! I really want to get EW now.
:]

Oh, and just so you know, I would probably pretty much stalk a chat. So you should get one.

Corinne!

Angela

*room*

Angela

Can't wait to read the interview!

A chat roon would be a good idea, but you realize that we'll want to talk about Breaking Dawn.
Talking about Breaking Dawn=Spoilers.

Just Sayin.

Natalie

freaking awesome. (:

EdwardLuvsMiMore

thats totally cool!
i would SO use the chat thing.
im going to pick up a copy of EW right now!

Karl

a chat would be awesome!

Amanda

Cant wait to get my magazine and i would chat if that were a choice!

Bianca

a chat would be great!!

Caitlin

That is amazing, Kaleb! I guess I'll be rushing out to get this week's Entertainment Weekly, too. Maybe this will prove to my brother that guys really do read Twilight. :)

I think a chat would be nice... as long as it doesn't attract the wrong type of people (like the attention-seeking GJ).

HeyJoyous

Wow! That's quite impressive. Can't wait to read it. Congratulations, Kaleb!

Sandra

Well, congrats!

Alice Cullen

Congradulations on making it with EW! i'm definetly gonna try and get a hold of a copy. as for the chat page, it would b really cool if u added that. :D

Aly

Oh cool! My twilighter/bestfriend's little brother saw the twilight story in EW but he hid it from her and wouldn't let her know where it was. When we confronted him about it he said, "It was mostly about the movie and whither it was simimilar to the book or not. Just answering questions like that. Not really about the book that much." She and I tried to explaine that that would be something we would want to know but he said, "Oh... oh well." and shrugged. *shakes head* I'm in no possition to get my hands on that copy or this one. But maybe i can try to make a quick run to target or something. I just got paid. :)
As for a chat room. I've always found it hard to even get into a chat room through my computer, let alone keep up with the chats. (no matter how long I stay on it) But i do think that it would be fun for those that can keep up. And who knows. Maybe I was meant to keep up with this site. I mean... i check it EVERY morning after breakfast... I should be able to keep up some how... :)

(SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG!!)

Samie

wow thats koool

Allison

Congratulations Kaleb!

And I would definitely use the chat room! :D

Minh Thu

A chat page would be great!!!

Katie Beth

Real quick before I go to work: YAY!!! Congratulations! :-D

Sam

I really think the chatting thing is an excellent idea! I know that I'll certainly use it!

Kathryn

I'm definitely going to have to take a look at that; and you were right, this does count as "big news!" Congrats and I'm really excited to read it :]!

Annie

goo kaleb! i really hope they left that answer! i might just go buy it... or at least stand there reading it in the store! and chat would be kinda cool....
