Rumors have been flooding the internet on who will be the new cast members in New Moon movie. For the role of Leah Clearwater two particular names have stood out: Vanessa Hudgens and Brenda Song.

I think this is highly unlikely since they are both too short for the role – both measuring 5′ 2″ or 1.57 m – and with the whole Taylor Lautner is too short thing.

What do you guys think?
Who would you like to see as Leah?

AND There’s also another rumor of Vanessa being a vampire

Q’ORIANKA KILCHER! Q’ORIANKA KILCHER! Q’ORIANKA KILCHER! Q’ORIANKA KILCHER! Q’ORIANKA KILCHER! Who agrees with me?

  • Melanie:

    Why disney channel stars? Uhh… I would prefer someone else >.> This rumor is probably just that: a rumor.

  • NEMO:

    I think it would be really cool if Brenda got a part. I mean, she was an avid fan of the books before the movies.

  • The Dark Knight:

    Copy and paste this if you agree!
    Q’ORIANKA KILCHER FOR LEAH!

  • Bethany:

    ok vanessa as a vamp….. not gonna work i personally think. and i’m not reely sure bout having them play leah either. no offense to fans of these ppl but i think too much disney any disney person would NOT WORK!!! ~agree with julie~

  • madelyn:

    EWWWWWW to both! What are they thinking?!?!?!?!?!? Oh my gosh, both of these would be tragically horrible.
    TRY AGAIN SUMMIT or whoever made this aweful suggestion…

  • Erin:

    NEITHER TO BOTH !
    But if I had to choose,
    DEF. Vanessa Hudgens cause Brenda Song is just UUUUGH !

  • danielle:

    NO NO NO NOT A DISNEY KID!
    i wonder if summit realizes that they don’t look anything like a Quileute…..
    also: how about someone with actual acting skills?

  • haleigh twi-hard:

    EVERYTIME I LOOK AT THIS IT DRIVES ME INSANE !!
    THAT DIRECTOR HAS GONE OVER THE EDGE !
    HE CANNOT , I REPEAT CAAAAAAAAN NOT PUT THEM IN AS LEAH !!! THEY ARE WAY TO PERKY FOR THE PART OF LEAH, A BROKEN HEARTED CRUEL WEREWOLVE !!!

  • AmAzInG nEmO:

    Hell NOOO!!! Leah Is a kick ass character! And one of my favorites! Disney stars would DESTROY her character!

  • Stephy:

    NO! NO! NO! They will suffer greatly from putting on these disney stars!! NO MORE DISNEY STARS!!!!! NO MORE!!! tht just shows this amazing movie isnt out there for people whos hormones arnt raging and who actually like the movie instead of only thinking about how hot rob pattinson is but instead for all those tweens who only like the movie because “OMG EDWARDS SO HOTT.” make this movie enjoyable for those tht it is meant for and do not put disney stars in it.. PLEASE!!!! PLEASE FIND AN ACTUAL NATIVE AMERICAN!!! NOT DISNEY STARS!!!

  • Bianca:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT RUIN THIS MOVIE WITH THEM! (i’d rather choose brenda over vanessa no offense guys i can’t stand her!)

  • ashleycullen:

    OMG NEVER EVER SHOULD EITHER OF THESE PLAY LEAH!! she is a H A R D – A S S, NOT A GOODY GOODY! they couldnt even resemble her in apperance hello!! SHES NATIVE AMERICAN…NOT AISIAN..OR PERKY BEAUTY QUEEN! AND NEITHER AS A VAMP!! if chris weitz picks one of these he has gone OFF HIS ROCKER AND I(AND MANY OTHERES)WILL BE PI^%ED

    OH AND KEEP TAYLOR

  • Hell no Disney stars please the movie would be shit.

  • Stephanie:

    NOOOOOO!!!!!! I dont want to wach New Moon sitting next to some 4 year old just because their idol disney teen star is in the movie!!! I want to sit next to a REAL Twilighter who will understand when I cry when Edward leaves and cry with me even though I dont know them! Because just being Twilighters we have a special bond. A Twilight bond! And no 4 year old is goning to provide that kind of bond!!!!!!!!!!

  • loveskellan:

    Ummm i like……… NEITHER!!! I don’t like either of them. One is a slut who poses nude and the other(brenda) isn’t bad but isn’t leah.

  • J.Carla:

    old news. those RUMORS came out a month ago. and yes, they’re just RUMORS. i love how all you little girls are screaming and cussing and totally outraged. Quit bashing on them. So what if they’re Disney stars? RUMORS. I doubt either of them would be considered. But Vanessa looks more Native.

  • Jenn:

    Please don’t choose either of them ! Who wants some disney stars in New Moon!? Neither of them would fit Leah in the movie. They seem to peppy, and Leah and New Moon are darker.. If that makes sense?:S:P

  • Kitty:

    Ewww No Don’t Put Them!
    I HATE Vanessa Hudgens.
    She’s A Little Skank.
    Brenda Song’s Like Whatever, But She
    Doesn’t Seem Well Enough To Play Leah.
    && Also No Disney Stars.
    Vanessa Doesn’t Act Good, && Brenda
    Seems Only Good At Being A Rich Girl.
    Please Pick Someone Else.
    Besides They Work For Little Kids, Not Teenagers Or Adults.

  • M:

    Neither, they should cast unknowns or rarely-knowns

  • j9:

    wtf
    disney characters? really? leah is supposed to be strong, vanessa is all happy and ish. PLEASE NO! and brenda…eeh she gets no votes just because she signed a contract with disney lol but i think Rosario Dawson would be a great Leah. shes strong and plus we already kno she can play an emotional person

  • Danielle:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    i do not want vanessa to be a vampire shes a slut noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    i’d rather the other chick even though i’ve never heard about her…

  • Rachael C.:

    I will refuse to watch New Moon if either of them-or any other Disney actor-is cast as Leah.
    Nothing against Brenda Song, but I just can’t see her being a good Leah.
    And Vanessa? UGH.

  • tia j:

    NO NO NO

    I LOVE TWILIGHT

    PUTTING BRENDA OR VENESSA IN WILL JUST BE SHIT

    IT WILL ROWEN IT

    NO NO NO DISNEY STARS

    THEY WONT FIT I WILL BE PISSED OFF IF THEY DO CAST EATHER OF THEN FOR LEAH

  • jessica:

    NNOOOOO i cannot belive there even considering thease 2 for the part! im already madd enough that they might be getting rid of laylor lautner! omg! if they wanted some one taller they shuld have tought about that before the world excepted him as out jacob black in my oppinion there could be no better jacob and if they make ither one of those disney princesses leah im not seeing the movie!

  • jessica:

    also just to add i soooo agree with j9 when they said rosario dawson would make a awsome leah!

  • Kat:

    ok so brenda song COULD NOT be leah. i know she’s capable of not being perky but seriously that would be a joke if she was. no one would take her seriously. and vanessa could pass for the lovelorn leah and make the pack suffer from her unrequitted love for sam uley.. but i highly doubt she can play the fierce leah in the other books. i mean come on vanessa hudgens going after newborns… yeah no. but i could see her as a vamp. but more so the one that gets killed for saying information to the volturi before she was sure of an immortal child. now THAT would be worth watching. and she would only be seen in one movie. the last one. where they hardly concentrate on her until they kill her. now seriously i would love to see that one happen ^_^

  • Lema:

    HELL NO!!!! NO FREAKIN DISNEY STARS ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is this some kinda joke? they better not be in it. at all.

  • Stupid Lamb:

    Oh lordy. I don’t mind Brenda so much , not as a werewolf though , but vanessa ?! i can’t stand her and i don’t think most teenagers can! They can do sooooo much better with Leah! Stay away from disney! And vanessa should not even be in the same category as vampires. She no where near pretty enough. She’s too….disney .

  • Cata O.:

    VANESSAA!!!

  • Lola:

    seriously? wow none of them should be Leah. Isn’t Leah supposed to look beautiful and exotic? no offense but i dont think a disney star is good enuf

  • Katelyn:

    THE TWILIGHT FRANCHISE SUCKS IF THIS HAPPENS!!!!

    Seriously, what the fucking HELL?! Brenda is like Korean so that’s in Asia and Vanessa is part FILIPINO so that’s in Asia too–SINCE WHEN IN THE WORLD IS A NATIVE AMERICAN ASIAN?! I AM SORRY; I AM ASIAN, BUT THIS CROSSES THE DAMN TREATY LINE!!!

    *makes gagging noises*
    IF THIS HAPPENS, IM SO DONE WITH TWILIGHT!!!! NO FUCKING DISNEY STARS WHO CANT SING OR ACT ALLOWED!!!!

  • istar:

    VANESSA!!!

  • Julia:

    OMG! I NEVER SAW THAT COMING!!!!!

  • JoAnna L.:

    Alright, don’t mind that the 2 girls under scrutiny are Disney, but they do not fit the character for Leah or Jane as some had said. I think Q’orianka Kilcher (from New World) for Leah and actually Kristin Chenoweth (from Pushing Daisies, with dark hair) for Jane. She’s 4 feet 11″ and very child like, even her voice. Those are my fantasy choices :)

  • Sarah Salvatore:

    OMG. you people say you “DONT WANT DISNEY STARS” but then again you ALL WANT TAYLOR LAUTNER??? He was in ‘Shark Boy and Lava Girl’…if i remember correctly that IS a disney movie, right? AND Kristen Stewart was in Zathura…which has been featured on Cartoon Network( and/or Disney Channel). There is nothing wrong with disney stars!!!

  • Hannah:

    OOOHH…what vampire would vanessa play, though? None of them fit her…..?? I LOVE DISNEY CHARACTERS. Taylor was a disney character once too.

  • mollyCA:

    i think both girls would be a bad move because:
    Brenda Song is Thai-American. Leah Clearwater is a Quileute Indian. Then there is Vanessa Hudgens. EWWW. I really think that is a bad move because she is trashy and personally what I’ve heard makes me not like her in the least bit. I would be very disappointed if she was casted as Leah. If I was given the choice, I would cast Genevieve Cortese. But out of the two given choices I would choose Brenda Song.

  • Karina:

    I think Q’orianka Kilcher would be a perfect Leah, she did amazing in The New World as Pocahontas. What do you guys think?

  • Diana:

    Ehn. I’m not taking either of these rumors to heart. High profile stars, like Vanessa, constantly have casting rumors swirling around them. Vanessa has been rumored to be in a version of ‘The Dreary and the Naughty’ and ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ this past year and neither have been true. Besides, remember all those Batman casting rumors? Or that Zac Efron was going to be in POTC 4?

    I’ll wait till we get the green light on the casting before making a judgment.

  • luna:

    If any of the two r leah i am gonna b so upset that might just make the movie not that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Leah is suposed to be kinda girly and kinda tombboshy like a mix of the two and really pretty and totally BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!I’m sorry but those 2 could never act like leah!!!AT ALLLLL.

  • Adrianna:

    OMFG HELLLLLLLLLLL NO!!!!!!!!!!! Vanessa Hugens is SUCH a WHORE!!!!!!! Shes to short and too tan not to mention shes UGALY!!!!!Bendas okay but shes asain no offense and if she was Leah she would have to be tan!Plus she doesnt have the face for Leah.Leah is suposed to be tall beautiful but at the same time shes tuff and AWSOME!!!!! NO DISNEY STARS!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW I think Megan Fox or the girl form the Unborn could be Hedi…just a thought.

  • bella:

    i think jessice szohr is better than vanessa hudgens. aha!

  • summer:

    i think either one of them would ruin the whole movie. no offence to either, but they have their own movies and shows. let some newcomers try out.

  • doesn't matter:

    um. WTF?!
    that girl on the left, she’s not just a bad actress, SHE IS HORRIBLE. i would actually cry if any of those … wannabes will take role in twilight

  • Zoe:

    NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! They’re terrible!!!

  • Myriah:

    Hell to the no! Neither of them! honestly having vanessa in it would ruin it…. all i would be able to think about is “wow this girl is from high school musical…. why and the hell is she in the movie?” and brenda…. not so much…. both of them are to short…. if they ended up in the movie it would not only ruin the movies in general but i honestly don’t know if i would enjoy watching or even want to see it. I say keep searching for much better actresses… maybe some newcomers.

  • michelle:

    i think these to actresses are better fitted for the Disney channel type roles, or at least right now in they’re careers. I just REALLY can’t see either one of them playing anyone from the books in the movies, and I doubt any characters would need to be created.

  • apes:

    No offense to the actresses or their fans, but Disney stars should stick to Disney. That’s all I’m going to say on that.

    Q’orianka Kilcher seems like she would suit Leah well. At least she’s half Native American.

  • iris:

    Vanessa?Brenda?ooh god NO NO NO NO NO!!seriously no disney kids no nickelodeon kids and of course no Camilla Belle!comm on this will suck=/
    and taylor?he is just p-e-r-f-e-c-t he is a must have IN TWILIGHT=)

  • TwilightObsessed:

    Omg Honestly wat r da chances dat either of theese would ever get a part in New Moon!!
    Dis is jus a rumer! Vanessa couldnt act to save her live and Brendas better with short tv scripts lik site lif!
    i hav nuthin against disney but none of dem could handle an actual part in a actual movie espially New Moon!!! But as i said ders no chance it could be true i no summit almost made a huge mistake wen it came 2 jacob but i’m sure de hav enough sense 2 keep disney far awawen it comes to twilight!!

  • Taylor:

    Neither! They are both bad (disney!) actors. Having either of them in the movie would ruin it.

  • TwilightObsessed:

    I agree wit Taylor

  • Carla:

    Shouldn’t Leah be significantly shorter than Jacob? So, I don’t really understand the argument against Vanessa, although I just picture her as a HS Musical girl and not Leah. Does anyone know if the rumors about this girl being Leah are true???

  • Caroline:

    they are not allowed to contaminate Twilight. i know casting is now different because they have way more money + box office success, but the casting team should look for actual actresses.

  • I think Brenda song would be a great leah!!! that’s exactly how I pictured her!

  • Liz:

    Okay no. A really good Leah would be Camille Guaty. Look her up and tell me she’s not perfect?

  • Heather:

    IF VANESSA IS CHOSEN I WILL DIE

  • Alli:

    While I agree that neither of them should get the role I think that Vanessa is good enough and has the right background (Spanish, Chinese, Filipino, Spanish, Native American) to get the part. But no one seems to look that much further than Disney. And Vanessa is really a musical star. If she did a bad job of it all the younger kids that watched it would be so upset (I should know)

  • Leah Collins:

    OME!!!! im just fine with brenda song being leah but… WHY THE CRAP WOULD YOU WANT VANNESA THE FREAKIN SLUT TO BE EVEN ON THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!

  • Vicky:

    I would boycott the movie if Vanessa hudgens was in it. She’s a skank and from disney, kinda ironic. NOOOOOOOO TO VANESSA

  • Lora:

    Neither
    But between them I pick Vanessa

  • jeniffer,:

    OMG neither need to b involve with twilight series.

  • l0v3:

    Hell no! No disney b****es in new moon; I refuse to go to the movie if either of them gets the part of Leah. That’s crap.

  • ashley:

    hate both of them im tryin out for leah so hope i make it i promise ill be good love yaw

  • eww neither!!
    i would rather see meagan fox play leah!

  • Yeah im with (Savannah) MEAGAN FOX
    would be a better leah!!!

  • MEAGAN FOX !!!!!!!!!!! WOULD TOTALLY BE A BETTER LEAH THEN THE SKANK VANESSA AND BRENDA IS BETTER DOING TV SHOWS SERIOUSLY PPL !!

  • I’m not convinced of that…
