It’s not only the fans going crazy for all things Twilight – even Hollywood stars are trying to get in on the vampire gravy train.
According to MTV News, Vanessa Hudgens is the latest young thespian trying to get a piece of the blood-sucking action, as she’s apparently auditioned for a role in the sequel, New Moon. The High School Musical star would be playing feisty werewolf Leah Clearwater, part of Jacob Black’s pack.
Ashley Greene, who plays Alice, is on board for the Hudge to become a part of the cast, telling MTV at a Golden Globes afterparty, "I think she’d be great."
The starlet also revealed that another rewrite for the sequel is in the works, sure to cause even more breathless speculation among Twilight fans.
"I’m with you guys — I’m so excited to read it."

As the industry publication Hollywood Reporter recently reported, Don Cheadle will apparently be replacing Terrence Howard in the next Iron Man movie as Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark’s best friend, in a switch-up that has even the actors themselves confused.
"It was the surprise of a lifetime," Terrence tells NPR, sounding none too pleased. "There was no explanation. [The contract] just…up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on, sometimes. Promises aren’t kept, and good faith negotiations aren’t always held up."
However all may not yet be set in stone, as Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige told MTV News.
“As is the policy with most people, when you talk about dotting I’s and crossing T’s, certainly that isn’t the case yet on a number of things we’re doing,” he says. “But that [Hollywood Reporter story] was not an announcement. That was, as it tends to happen in the business, is rumors and leaks and things like that. I do think there will be clarity soon.”
Do tell – we’re sure Terrence would be interested in any further developments involving his own career..
