If you haven’t been caught up in the Twilight buzz it’s about time you got with the picture - literally!

This engrossing series of four books by Stephenie Meyer has audiences of all ages spellbound and I didn’t believe the hype until I got hooked myself. I managed to catch New Moon - the second book in the series, now a film - in Gold Class over the weekend.  A girlfriend booked out the entire cinema so a group of us could weep over Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) heartbreak, sigh over Edward’s (Robert Pattinson) slow-mo moves to pulsating beats and drool over Jacob’s (Taylor Lautner) impressive abs in relative privacy.

As a girlfriend in Oz who’s just caught the flick commented, "We screamed along with the tweens as soon as Taylor Lautner took his top off… his body must be illegal it’s so outrageous!" And I have to concur, as he derobed I emitted an audible "Holy moly" myself. You have to see it to believe it, but I am now seriously concerned over the appreciation I have for this boy’s body - especially as he’s almost 20 years my junior! Taylor Swift is one lucky girl…

My advice is to read the books (they’re impossible to put down) before you see the movie, so you can fully grasp what’s going on. But it’s not mandatory, you’ll still "get it".

And let me know if Taylor’s rock-hard abs shift you from Team Edward (Irni, I’m swaying!) to Team Jacob… I think I’m going to stick with the 109-year old - at least I’ll avoid getting arrested!
