Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

Twilight Makeovers & a New Moon Hunk

Aired on: June 30, 2010, November 11, 2009

Millions of obsessed fans across the planet have embraced the Twilight phenomenon, but for teens Elizabeth, Morgan and Katie, collecting memorabilia from the series is not enough; their dream is to look like the characters from the movie! So Rachael enlists the help of costume designer Tish Monaghan from The Twilight Saga: New Moon to help turn these girls into Bella, Rosalie and Alice. The girls can't say enough about their new stylish looks, but they are at a loss for words when they are surprised by New Moon star Alex Meraz!

Alex, who plays the werewolf Paul in the new movie, explains that it was almost serendipitous that he got the role. "Everything was just aligned," he says. "It was on my birthday when I went to audition. It was on January 10th and that was the biggest full moon of the year. And then I had these hawks that were always circling around me within the two weeks that I was waiting to get word!"

Alex tells Rachael that he's grateful to be part of such a successful series, and that his wife Kim and 19-month old son Somak help keep him grounded. In fact, he admits that his wife is a big fan of Rachael's. "So she screamed louder about me being on this show than me getting Twilight!" Alex shares.
