    I DONT WANT DISNEY STARS RUINING THIS!!!! AAAAAAAAH!!! IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE IF BRENDA OR VANESSA WAS LEAH!!! EW EW EW EW!!1 YUCK!!!!…..IT WOULD JUST RUIN IT FOR ME!!!!

  2. Michele LeBlanc says:

    Oh no! I definitely DO NOT think that V-Hudgens would make a good Leah. Vanessa does not fit the Leah I picture. Plus I can’t see her as a werewolf AT ALL.

  3. Stephanie says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I will cry if she gets the part of Leah!!! Q’orianka Kilcher really needs to be Leah!!!

  4. syndielouwho says:

WOOOOOOW….I AM SPEECHLESS. thanks for the heads up TST. i would have never have known..srry if i blew up a little….ugh….its disgusting tho, to see that they would actually CONSIDER Vanessa hudgens…gross.

  6. the twilight freak says:

    indians are not native americans. indians are indians. and as a person of indian descent, i feel insulted.
    idiotic christopher columbus.

    and its just a rumor. SO CHILL.

  7. another opinion says:

    I like Nicole Lee Smith, put some brown contacts on her and she is good to go. Look at her pictures next to the guy who played Sam in “Twilight,” she has the right look.

    Yes, a fresh face! My vote is for Nicole Lee Smith, maybe even as Emily, she and Solomon Trimble would look really good together.

  9. Kristy says:

    I just read that the character of Leah isn’t even going to be in New Moon (twilight lexicon), I am not sure what I think of that?! I like Nicole (above) for Emily Young and the girl from Pocahontas for Leah.

  10. Jessie says:

    Sure, Brenda is pretty, but she is Asian and LOOKS Asian. Leah is Native American and both Vanessa and Brenda could never pull off all of the underlying emotion of Leah. I picture Leah looking wise beyond her years and having a very strong face and personality to match. Look at the wolf pack boys, they all have a certain look. Throwing either one of those in the pack or anyone that is not a NW Native American would just throw the whole thing off. I came across a link to a Nicole Lee Smith on another site who is rumored to be in the running for the part. She looks way more the part plus I think they should continue to cast unknowns for these parts. I don’t want to try to look past a Disney face to picture one of the characters, so I say NO NO NO to both Brenda and Vanessa and yes to someone like this Nicole Lee Smith. Anyone else ever heard of her?

  11. Kay says:

    I guess Native American actors need not apply for the roles of the Native Americans at all. If Taylor Lautner, who is NOT even Native American, can be cast as Jacob, the LEAD Native American, why should Summit stop now when it comes to the female roles? I think what has been done in terms of casting is truly shameful. Tanned skin and dark hair do not make you an “instant Native” and a horrible message has been sent to the that community. This notion that they couldn’t find a fitting Native actor to play Jacob so they settled with Taylor is insulting. I can think of a number of Native actors who would have been fantastic as Jacob. They certainly found Native actors for the supporting cast–Billy, Sam, Embry, etc.

  12. Diane says:

    Ok i dont want to sound mean when i say this so if i do sorry…
    But i dont think either of the girls that are rumored to be in the running to play leah are any good.Im sorry but i thought the wolf pack is meant to be Native American and last time i looked these girls aint,i mean i would be sceard that vanessa would break into were breaking free or that brenda is going to start going on about not having any money, i just think that they would kill the movie and the wolf pack, both seem to girlie to play leah,whats wrong with finding a native american you did it with the other 3 boys that you showed in twilight,find new people to play leah and not some lame girl girl,go with Nicole Lee Smith she would be great throw her in there and dont think of the other two.I mean you saved the movie by keeping taylor dont go and kill it with a disney actor there are better people that would fit the role please dont go with them that would kill it i cant see either of them being werewolfs,at least go with someone that is NATIVE AMERICAN like in the book,im not being racist im just thinking of the role that has to be played.Think about it people.I vote NO to both of those girls and YES to Nicole Lee Smith.

  13. Dani Darko says:

    Honestly, I don’t care anymore.
    Whoopi Goldberg could audition and I still don’t care.

    Why is every one still worried that the films won’t stay true to the book if the wrong actour is picked?!
    The movie had pretty much NO relation to the book since Day 1.

    Get real.

  14. Jo says:

    Kay, Taylor Lautner IS part native American!
    I like brenda song but shes asian (Dont call me racist cas im asian too) and itll take a LOT of spray on tan or wateva for her to pull leah off.
    and Vanessa Hugens is such a softy. A least shes used to being on camera half nude-.-”

    I think they should just get sum1 from the tribe. ANY1

  15. claire says:

    ok i have read all four books and ummm i dont think vanessa and brenda are fit for the part. DONT RUIN THE MOV0IE PLEASE! I AM A BIG TWILIGHT FAN…AND THEY JUST DONT SEEM LIKE THEYD FIT THE PART OF LEAH. DONT RUIN THE MOVIE!!!!! OR THE BOOKS!!!

  16. Erin says:

    Nicole Lee Smith is a goreous, talented actress who will blow Vanessa Hudgens out of the water. Oh, and are you sure she isn’t already wearing contacts?

  17. penny says:

    Vanessa CAN’T be in New Moon!!! She’ll just start singing or something. And anyways all the cast in Twilight were not very big or very famous, so I would just keep it that way!

  18. claire says:

    I agree with penny and erin!!!

  19. Laheba says:

    i don’t think she should be Leah Clearwater. no offence but she would’nt suit it.

  20. Laheba says:

    She would not suit being Leah Clearwater, because Leah is Agressive and Vanessa…. let’s just say she won’t be ableto do angry let alone be agressive for the whole movie, and leah gets the most temperamental, seeing vanessa get angry would be like a fairy exploding….. no offence to fairy lovers, i love fairies but i think that vanessa should not be Leah clearwater….. so people NO NO NO!!!!!

  21. Alexis says:

    i honestly think the role of leah should be played by a younger person. Reading the books, neither of them feel right. And think of what the other wolves look like. If she is related to seth then she should look somewat like him.. right.. ? well the rest of the wolves are darker in skin color. These are some things you should think of. And anyways they are way to girly for the role. If u read the books you would know what i mean.

  22. melina says:

    Vanessa is filipina right???
    ok so its ok for her to play
    a latina girl on hsm
    but its not ok for her to play
    a native american girl on twilight???

  23. MADELYN says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS NOT GOOD FOR THAT PART SHES BAD, SHES DATEING TROY BOLTINFOR HSM AND NOT TO BE MEAN OR ANYTHIN BUT THINK I SHOULD GET THAT PART BUT IM ONLY 10 I WISH I WAS 13 BUT THAT WOUNT BE INTELL 3 YEARS FROM NO, MY BIRTHDAY FEB. 18. FORGIT THAT NO DISNEY CHANEL STARS OR IT WILL RUIN TWILIGHT FOR EVER AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE NOT TO GET BECAUSE IT`S RUINED BECAUSE OF VENESSA H. SO NO DISNEY CHANEL STARS EVER AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. 24/7 says:

    NICOLE LEE SMITH http://nicole-lee-smith-photos.blogspot.com/ SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. Ivy Cullen says:

    I DO NOT WANT VANESSA HUDGENS, BRENDA SONG, OR SELENA GOMEZ TO BE LEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL RUIN OUR MOVIE RIGHT TWILIGHTERS?!?!?!?! AND SHE WAS SORT OF FALLING FOR HIM IN BREAKING DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT NOT NOT WANT ANY OF THOSE GIRLS EVEN PRETENDING TO FALL FOR OUR TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT KASSIE?!?!?! THEY BELONG IN THE DISNEY LIFE, AND NOT THE TWILIGHT LIFE! AND VANESSA EVEN TRIED OUT FOR THE PART!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE HER WITH A PASSION JUST BECAUSE OF THAT. OME…OMJ…OMTST…………………….

  26. Ivy Cullen says:

    yes, i agree with penny too. i am afraid in breaking dawn, that she will start to sing in her head and the whole pack (plus the movie seers) will have to hear it.

  27. sophia says:
