With 'New Moon' pulling in unbelievable numbers in its first day, and fans camping out for half a week to get a ticket, it's pretty clear that there is no stopping this vampire juggernaut. The third chapter in the 'Twilight' series, 'Eclipse' is in post-production, and already, its stars are getting recognized on the street. Popeater got a chance to chat with Kirsten Prout, who plays Lucy, one of the vamps who turned Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) back in 1863. Prout gave us a few details (she's going to be in period clothing) and told us that her role is going to be a little different than it is in the novel. She also weighed in on the Vatican's condemnation of the series, the trash talk from Miley Cyrus and the amazing amount of attention paid to the Kristin Stewart/Robert Pattinson romance rumors.
