Think we could do a Best of Summer 2009 roundup and not include Twilight? Of course not. Twilight coverage forever! (Or at least a few more years.)

So yeah, pretty crazy summer, right? And there wasn't even a new movie out. Plus, everyone was on a break between the filming of New Moon and Eclipse. What was it then that kept everyone's Twilight obsession going?

Well, we have a few theories, most center around one thing: Robsten (obvi). Let's start with the almost kiss at the MTV Movie Awards that kicked off our summer and then the there was last week's maybe kiss to end it. Thanks guys, great timing.

Those near kisses were also bookends to the other big Robsten drama: the bicoastal separation. Were they sad being apart? Could Rob handle the crazy fans? Was he hooking up with his costar Emilie de Ravin? Ugh, K.Stew's Joan Jett hair? You know, just the normal stuff that any long-distance relationship that might not even be real has to deal with.

Other than that, we had not one but two big trailer premieres, Taylor Lautner's endless chatter about the gym and how New Moon is so complicated and also that huge Victoria casting change up kicking Rachelle Lefevre to the curb for Bryce Dallas Howard. (They both have red hair, no one will ever know the difference!)

So that's just some of the dramz keeping all the Twilight excitement going. Now is the time we ask you to vote on your favorite or point out what we missed.
