Top Five Best Things About New Moon
Originally posted 11/20/2009 03:50PM
Because The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the most highly anticipated movie of the year, fervent fans – whether on Team Edward or Team Jacob – are practically salivating at the prospect of seeing their favorite heartthrobs on the big screen once the movie opens Friday.
Find out the top five aspects to New Moon that fans can eagerly anticipate. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)
Jacob Black's Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner's amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. In fact, Lautner sizzles and smolders throughout New Moon as he walks the line between friendship and romance with Bella (Kristen Stewart). Though Bella's heart belongs to Edward (Robert Pattinson), Launter may steal Pattinson's heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose.

Rob & Kristen Keep Their Distance at New Moon Screening
Originally posted 11/20/2009 03:45PM
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart caused a fan frenzy when they showed up – separately – for the Cinema Society and D&G screening of New Moon Thursday in New York City.
Wearing a sleek Dolce & Gabbana suit, a button-down and his famously touseled hair, Pattinson worked the red carpet at the Landmark Sunshine Theater as dozens of cameras flashed and fans broke down into tears. "Robert completes me!" exclaimed one 11-year-old fan.
Pattinson – who plays sexy vampire Edward Cullen to Stewart's soulful teenager Bella Swan – arrived at the screening about 20 minutes before his rumored real-life love Stewart made her appearance on the red carpet.

REVIEW: Only Fervent Fans Will Believe New Moon Shines Brightly
Originally posted 11/20/2009 05:55AM
Romeo and Juliet have nothing on lovebirds Bella and Edward, who pointedly are seen studying Shakespeare's tragedy in a high school English class in New Moon, the stylish but water-treading sequel to 2008's Twilight.
When it comes to star-crossed teenage love affairs – though to be literal, the immortal Edward (Robert Pattinson) is 104 but passes for 17 – this chaste duo didn't pick the easy road. She's human and he's a vampire. If that wasn't problematic enough, it turns out that her best bud and would-be beau, Jacob (Taylor Lautner), is a werewolf, the sworn enemy of vampires. What's a girl to do?

It's all true, Twilight fans: Robert Pattinson is dating a costar, is engaged, has had a drug overdose, and has had an injury involving his derriere. All of it.
"I actually come up with these rumors myself," the British actor, 23, laughingly told Matt Lauer on Thursday morning's Today show.
In a chuckle-filled, rapid exchange of questions and answers with the morning host, Pattinson squarely took on all the outlandish rumors that have dogged him for the last few months – and jokingly fessed up to each and every one.

New Moon Director Quitting Movies
Originally posted 11/18/2009 12:55PM
Well, you can't say he isn't going out on top.
Chris Weitz, the Oscar-nominated director of New Moon, will leave all the glitz and glamour behind after he finishes one more film, he tells MovieMaker magazine.
"Every time I make a movie I'm pretty much convinced it's the last time I'm going to be able to do it and that really it's a rather silly occupation to undertake," says Weitz, 40, whose Oscar nod was for the adapted screenplay of 2002's About a Boy. "But I think I have maybe one more film in me."

Nikki Reed: Boyfriend Paris Latsis Changed Me
Originally posted 11/17/2009 03:10PM
Monday night's New Moon premiere in Los Angeles was like déjà vu for many of the stars of the film, who walked the same red carpet a year ago at the premiere of their blockbuster hit, Twilight. But Nikki Reed says she feels drastically different this time around, thanks to boyfriend Paris Latsis.
"When you date someone who loves the outdoors, it's inspiring," says the actress, who portrays vampire Rosalie Hale in the movie. "I've learned from my boyfriend. I've taken on his lifestyle."
And that's a good thing. Reed, 21, who has been dating Latsis, 27, since this summer, was so inspired by his love of outdoor sports that she quit smoking. "Instead of gaining weight, I lost weight," she says. "I started going to the gym and taking care of myself. I'm into outdoor sports like hiking, windsurfing, water-skiing. I'm much more active and much happier."

When New Moon hits theaters on Friday, you can bet that plenty of stars will be in line for the flick along with other members of the public. Since Twilight mania began taking hold last year, everyone from Zac Efron to Kelly Clarkson to Joe Jonas have raved about the franchise. Even President Obama admitted that he and daughter Malia have read the popular series.
Some, like Kim Kardashian, have announced their fandom in less verbal ways: Recently, the reality star toted around a Twilight water bottle emblazoned with Taylor Lautner's face. Count her on Team Jacob!
While en route to her L.A. gym, meanwhile, Ashley Tisdale obviously declared herself on Team Edward, given her water bottle with its visage of Robert Pattinson.
