Stuart Braunstein’s multifarious Bowery showroom, Collective Hardware, is now debuting main floor exhibition space, and on the second floor, famed NYC hairstylist Peter Vancek’s salon. Both are open for business: the exhibition space recently hosted events for Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's Louis Vuitton-sponsored, curated exhibit and also managed to pop up in an episode of The City. Braunstein's still making moves after this, though: construction's underway for the other three floors, said to house a recording/rehearsal studio, in-house artist space, and a tattoo parlor.

By now you must have seen it in the air or heard it in the wind -- a preview, a poster, a blog, an Entertainment Weekly cover (or ten), hysterical girls, a Today Show appearance, and women, from their early teens to late thirties, flailing and wailing at the mere mention of the name Edward Cullen. It's Twilight mania, and it hits full fury this weekend -- as if we had to tell you. We caught up with the film's screenwriter and Dexter producer Melissa Rosenberg, who had the daunting task of adapting author Stephenie Meyer's sprawling saga to the screen, without losing the book's appeal or inciting bloodlust from legions of fans.
