How Much New Moon Cash Will Rob and Kristen Get?

About New Moon: With all these pots of money the movie is earning, does the cast get to share in the windfall? At the very least will they gets cars or Rolexes or something? And are these kids finally A-listers now?
—Scarlett via the Answer B!tch inbox
As much as you may think that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart each deserve a brand new shiny Volvo for delivering all that magic over the weekend, as far as I know, they'll just have to settle for millions and millions of dollars.
As for a piece of the action and other perks, well...

Selena Gomez: I'm Not Hating on Twilight!
DZILLA/bauergriffinonline.com
Selena Gomez wants you to know that she never said she doesn't like Twilight.
The Disney darling has been getting a lot of flack from Twi-hards because they're feeling like she dissed the world's most talked-about vampire franchise when she told Bonnie Hunt last week that she hasn't actually seen Twilight.
"All I said was that I didn't watch it and I felt bad for not watching it," Selena explained to me at yesterday's American Music Awards. "But of course, now it's like, 'I don't like it.' That's not the case."
And Selena is brave enough to admit that—gasp!—she hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twi-novels, either. "I feel bad," she said. "And I'm sorry if I offended anyone for that."
Selena certainly wasn't the only one talking Twilight and New Moon at the AMAs. Read on for more…
The Sun Goes Down on Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Summit Entertainment
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are dunzo, but not in the way OK! thinks.
The dazzling duo finished filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight Saga, early this morning, director David Slade confirmed via Twitter.
"Twilight Eclipse officially wrapped shooting, at 4.30 a.m. October 29th," the helmer wrote from Vancouver (which would be Pacific Time). "Physically and emotionally exhausted."
When Did This Vampire Craze Start, Anyway?
HBO
Were people always this crazy about vampires, or did it take Stephenie Meyer's PG-rated and Alan Ball's basically NC-17 approaches to make people crazy?
—Eternal High, via the Answer B!tch inbox
Another question aimed at getting me to wax forth on Robert Pattinson. Fine. I've seen Wagnerian operas with more charm than that child. I've seen larvae with more melanin that that child. I've seen cinder blocks more fascinating than that child.
Now, before we go any further, the draw of True Blood should not in any way be confused with Twilight's appeal. People love True Blood because they're almost guaranteed to turn on any given episode and see somebody half nekkid. But it's the utter denial of sexuality in the Twilight series that has made it one of the most successful vampire franchises ever.
Between its doormat heroine, its domineering, borderline stalker of a male lead, and their nearly nonexistent sex life, the franchise is prime fodder for the promise-ring crowd.
But neither of those series comes even close to being the first to mix vampires and sexual issues, not by far...

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will definitely be finishing what she started when it comes to adapting the fourth and final book of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn. Deep Twi tells us that, although it won't officially be confirmed for a while, Melissa is tapped to finish out the films.
Marc Malkin chatted with Melissa last week, and while she was playing very coy about BD plans (as well as Robsten), using the whole "everything is still up in the air" line, our well-placed source dishes that it's a done deal.
Like we assured all Twi-fans last month, the entire crew—Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, etc.—will also be back to grace the big screen for the fourth time, too.
So any director updates? And how exactly will the final movie be made?
"There are no formal plans yet," Deep Twi tells us.
Uh, well, want to know why that is? We've heard a bit of incredibly juicy info...
Twi-Screenwriter on Robsten: Leave Their Private Lives out of It!
Marion Curtis/PictureGroup
Just because Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are such a perfect match on screen, Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg thinks it's time we mind our own business about what goes once the cameras stop rolling.
"Their chemistry on film is so extraordinary," Rosenberg told us at the Entertainment Weekly/Women In Film pre-Emmy party. "They were beautifully cast for those roles and their chemistry is amazing. I think people often confuse chemistry onscreen with chemistry offscreen.
"I think people should just enjoy what's onscreen and leave their privates lives wherever they are," she continued. "I don't actually know what they are."
So what scoop did Ms. Rosenberg tell us about our fave vampire movies? Read on to find out…

Eclipse Cast's Sinful Future and Playful Present!

Last time we chatted with Robsten pals and Twilight costars Michael Welch and Christian Serratos at the MTV Movie Awards, they said the Bella-Edward onscreen action was "only going to get hotter." So, just how hot is that?
"I doubt it'll go R-rated," informed Christian, when we dished with her and Mike at the Mi-6 club opening in West Hollywood. "But I think everyone is going to get exactly what they want [in the sequels]."
Guess Chris can't read our quasi-perverted thoughts, cause it definitely steps into triple-X territory. Maybe we should pick up one of these to sooth our nerves?
Keep reading for more dish from the Eclipse cast (and some other famous faces who are making public guest appearances with the Twi-crew), plus which vamp-playing babe has got everyone running scared...
Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson: Totally Not Engaged
Ok!
It doesn't take a publicist's statement to refute this tall tale. OK!'s new cover story does the leg work for us.
The tabloid's front page claims Twilight costars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have recently moved in together and are engaged.
The article, however, says nearly nothing of the sort.

"I don't think so."
—Saga source Deep Twi, when we asked if Breaking Dawn would be split into two movies. The ambivalent response is a bit unusual for our dishy Twilight insider, so if you ask us we don't think the possibility of turning the fourth book into a Harry Potter-style two-part flick is entirely out of the question yet.
The idea has been floating around...

Jenna Dewan: Channing Should Have Been Vampire

Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg isn't the only one who thinks hunky Channing Tatum would have been perfect to play Riley in Eclipse.
The G.I. Joe star's wife, Jenna Dewan, says director David Slade should have let hm sink his teeth into the role.
"I totally tried to get him to do it," Dewan told us earlier this week at the InStyle Summer Soirée at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. "I was like, 'Baby, do Twilight!' Oh, my god. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I've read all the books. So I was like, 'You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!'"
Unfortunately for Jenna, Xavier Samuel snagged the part of the corrupted vampire in the third installment of the Robert Pattinson bloodsucker movie franchise.
While Dewan says Tatum hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books, she's a huge fan...
What Happens to R.Pattz When Twilight Is Over?

What will happen to Robert Pattinson after all of the Twilight Saga films are done? You think all the obsessed fans will flee him?
—HannahPenton, via Twitter
"Flee," eh? Well, if there's anything a Twilight fan loves, it's overblown melodramatic wordage. Why merely wander off when you can tear through the woods as if being chased by a bloodthirsty high-fashion vampire?
Fans may love R.Pattz now, but kids also used to obsess over Orlando Bloom and Mark Hamill. The indicators for Pattz's future are not necessarily all that solid...
Will the Whole Cast Be Back for Breaking Dawn?
Kevin Winter/TCA 2009/Getty Images for Fox
For all of you nervous Nellies who need everything to be 100 percent confirmed to believe it (that would be you, Robsten doubters), Summit has officially announced that Breaking Dawn is a go.
Like we told you months ago, Summit and the cast were onboard for the fourth film and they damn well planned to pump out this franchise basically as fast as possible. Why? Because the horny cast can't keep off each other—that's why. And that so hasn't changed, darlings. If anything, it's only gotten more twisted. So these movies need to get wrapped pronto before the cast really starts pissing each other off. Just ask Terry Tush-Trade, Twyla Babe-Sucker, Julie Bone Jumper and then some.
So is B.D. still on track to be PG like screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg dished a while back? And are any castmembers getting axed à la Rachelle Lefevre?
