Nikki Finke of deadline.com has written one too many "Twilight"-related news stories, and can take no more:

The "secondary" actors were asking for $4 million for the 4th and 5th "Twilight" movies; apparently the producers didn't want to alienate fans by replacing them. Wise. "Bewitched" was never the same after the great unexplained Darrin swap-out, and that last season of "Gilligan's Island" with Charles Nelson Reilly as Ginger was a disaster.

Jackson Rathbone's real name, by the way, is Monroe Jackson Rathbone V. Yes, the Fifth. The second was the head of Standard Oil of New Jersey, which turned into Exxon. (When the moon was full.)
