In the Twilight movies, Ashley Greene plays the saga’s resident good-girl vampire, Alice Cullen—all pixie haircut and motherly touch, not a hint of bloodlust in her earnest high-school demeanor. Greene’s career—and her life—has changed dramatically since she was cast in the blockbuster series. For one thing, teenage girls shake uncontrollably and burst into tears when they see her on the street. For another, it was just a couple of years ago that the 22-year-old Greene was struggling to land guest spots with no dialogue, and almost had to leave Los Angeles and return to her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, where she’d originally planned to study psychology and law. But now, she’s booking movies faster than she can make them—including her first big lead, in the upcoming supernatural thriller, The Apparition. Michael Sheen, Greene’s co-star in Twilight and New Moon, recently caught up with the actress.

“It’s a really hard thing to wrap your head around. I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in Twilight, put in my two weeks’ notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype.”

“The campaign, spearheaded by NYC-based teen retailer Aéropostale, raises awareness about youth homelessness by inspiring teens across the US and Canada to collect gently-used jeans and donate them to homeless youth right in their own communities.

In 2009, Teens For Jeans collected over 200,000 pairs of jeans and this year teens are already gearing up to top that effort. There are drop-offs located at all Aéropostale stores from January 19th through February 14th, 2010.



To say thanks, Aéropostale will give you an additional 25% off your next pair of jeans.”

“Nothing comes between Ashley Greene and her SoBe. Nothing….zero! And to prove it, “The Twilight Saga” actress is celebrating the launch of SoBe Lifewater’s newest 0 calorie flavors – Cherimoya Punch and Strawberry Dragonfruit – by posing in SoBe skinsuits for the pages of Sports Illustrated’s iconic Swimsuit issue. The advertising spread from SoBe, a vibrant PepsiCo brand, appears exclusively in the eagerly-anticipated 2010 edition which hits newsstands Wednesday, February 10.

Greene states that she has enjoyed the process of becoming SoBe’s spokesmodel for this campaign.

“Being a part of the SoBe skinsuit shoot in the Turks and Caicos was amazing,” said Ashley Greene, who calls the detailed bikini and one-piece SoBe skinsuits real works of art. “It took the artist 12 hours to paint the SoBe scales on each skinsuit, but it was totally worth it. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.”

On SoBe’s website, a couple of sneak-preview pictures of Greene in her “skinsuits” are available.”
