Alright, so there's a chance that this may not be actual footage leaked from the upcoming Twilight: Breaking Dawn film, but today on Attack of the Show, we're excited to show you what could happen to Bella and Edward. They clearly did not take Kevin and Olivia's advice from our earlier spoof (above) very seriously. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to deal with these angry hordes of Twilight fans.

PS. I don't care what you say. Vampires aren't supposed to glitter.

EDIT: Check our the new Twilight parody after the cut!

Scott Wolf Of V Behind-The-Scenes Photos

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:35:00 -0800

The re-imagining of V has kicked a lot of butt in the ratings and gotten its fair share of critical acclaim. Some say it's because of a strong premise, solid writing and a great ensemble cast. I attribute the show's success solely to Scott Wolf. You saw how good he was on today's show. It has to be because of him and his crowd-drawing charisma. I mean, I didn't take these behind-the-scenes pictures of his appearance for nothing.

It's so scary. In case you've ever wondered what the adorable Pokemon mascot would look like in your nightmares...well, here you go.

Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution: RFD TV

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:35:00 -0800

We here at G4 are so immersed in videogames and technology that sometimes we forget about the real things in life. No, not actual relationships, love or weird things like books, but the real American way of life. Farms. Tractors. People who live between Los Angeles and New York. Those places where our food comes from. That stuff.

So this week's Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution is dedicated to RFD TV, a cable network dedicated to rural America with specialty programming about horses, antique tractor shows, livestock auctions and agricultural news--everything that rural Americans probably deal with every single day in their life. Yeah, that's right. That popular rural lifestyle is now available with your regular cable programming between MTV's Real World and Mad Men on AMC. Actually, more like ESPN Deportes and that random channel that always plays weird Chinese dramas.

How can you miss out on specials like HEE HAW, a country variety show, Ms. Lucy's Classic Cajun Cooking or The Marty Stuart Show featuring the one and only country music icon himself?

As they say themselves, it's about time someone paid attention to rural America and by golly, we're watching (from the comfort of our Pottery Barn sofa and our 59" flat screen plasma TV)!
