    That’s good news. Prayers go to people of Japan.

    I know what you’re thinking people…don’t say it

  • @Monty

    Hopefully no one will….

  • laura

    Well, I really dislike Twilight, but I’m glad everybody is safe. They’re crappy movies but I would never want to see anyone hurt. And I’m with Goya…prayers to the people of Japan.

  • whatevs

    I don’t get what you guys are talking about.

  • @Monty

    So I’m not the only one that had the thought cross my mind?

  • Karate Pants

    Obviously glad everyone’s safe and sound, but the fact that EW is featuring an article specifically about the safety of the Twilight cast amidst all of this…well…it’s a shining example of why people get so upset about excessive Twilight coverage.

    • RK

      What about GLEE?????

    • erin

      They also reported about Off the Map and Hawaii-5-0 so it’s not like they’re giving Twilight special treatment. ((At least not in this instance.))

      • Karate Pants

        Fair enough. Still tacky to do a roll call of celebrities that are safe. I just don’t like the attempt at a tie-in here.

  • jake

    no Monty you’re not the only one that wishes they’re the only ones that got hit by the tsunami

  • Max Goossen

    I guess this will be the most important thing to hear today?…

  • Felix

    I like the pic they went with. Is that how Kristen Stewart was evacuated, then?

      This post gets 10 points out of a possible 10 points.

    They should take this as a sign to shut down production on this movie for good. Mother Nature does not want this movie to be made.

  • michelle

    How stupid! Everyone needs to shut up with there negative comments, they are just letting everyone know they are ok and by the way I guess mother nature had to kill so many just so twilight could stop what an idiot you are. Japan is what matters keep them in your thoughts not negative comments

  • Kristin

    Ok, I’m not understanding what people thought a magazine called Entertainment Weekly would be reporting about. If you want news about celebrities you go to EW if you want world news you go to CNN. Not hard. My prayers go out to EVERYONE affected by this tragedy & to everyone who can’t seem to remember that every human life is important. Even celebrities have family & friends.

  • Jester

    We’re never getting rid if these people huh?

  • get a grip

    People this is entertainment weekly… not CNN.. if you want coverage of the people in Japan then you should tune into a news station or the news website that has coverage of the tsunami….

    • JEREMY

      get a grip,you have the most fitting name I have seen here.Wish everybody posting would read your name and take the hint,as everything you said is right.
