Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Best Talk Show Moments
Happy New Moon weekend, everyone! We gotta hand it to Rob, Kristen and Taylor, they all worked so hard over the past month to promote their little vampire movie, which culminated last night in a three-way (pre-taped) interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now they can all go back to their normal lives. For Taylor that means pumping iron and practicing back flips all day, while Rob and Kristen lurk around the shadows of Chateau Marmont.
But before we say goodbye to the gang until they resurface for Eclipse this summer, we thought we'd put together our favorite moments from the past week's talk show appearances. (And there were a lot of them—Ellen, Conan, Leno, Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Today, Regis and Kelly.)
Usually they’re met with the same questions: Did you ever expect this to be so big? How is this movie different from the last? OMG, fans are so crazy, right? They scream so much! How did you bulk up to play Jacob Black? Are you dating Kristen? What do you think of your Barbie? Will you throw this football? (Both Taylor and Kristen had to do that, btw.)
Still, there were some fun moments to be had and we've compiled them all right here just in case you fell asleep while Taylor talked about his workout regime for the 13th time.
Let's see what we got:
Billy Ray Cyrus Raps for Miley's Twitterers
Miley Cyrus rapped about leaving Twitter, so why shouldn't Billy Ray Cyrus rap about stickin' around? Anything Miles can do, dad can do better, right?
That we actually can't answer, but Jimmy Fallon dressed as Billy Ray would win the rhyme-spittin' battle any day.
The Late Night host donned a wig and a pair of dungarees in an attempt to get Miley's former followers to support dear ol' dad.
"Hey there, America, let's make this clear / Miley might be gone, but I'm still here," he begins. "As long as my heart's still beatin' / I'm gonna be tweetin' / 'cause I got a full house like my name was Jodie Sweetin...Achy-Breaky Tweets!"
It's enough to make you click that "Follow" button...for Jimmy, at least.

Drew Barrymore: Nothing Hotter Than a Girl Fight
Forget the injuries on Dancing With the Stars. Try going one-on-one with a roller derby girl.
That's exactly what Drew Barrymore did for Whip It, her directorial debut about a high schooler (Ellen Page) who secretly joins a roller derby team.
Barrymore, who also plays Smashley Simpson in the movie, trained with real-life Detroit Derby Girls star Racer McChasHer.
"We were wrestling and rolling around on the track, and both of us feel one of our skates and both our body weights on my thigh," Barrymore said last night while promoting the flick at the Tough Cookies vs. Varsity Brawlers match in L.A. "I had a bruise that was a foot long and a foot wide. My entire leg was covered."
But she isn't complaining…
Fey, Timberlake, Fallon, Whedon Strike Comedy Gold at Creative Arts Emmys
The big winner at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmys?
Sarah Palin. Tina Fey. The bespectacled funnylady's spot-on Saturday Night Live spoofin' of a certain veep wannabe earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress, Comedy.
You betcha.
"This would not be possible without Mrs. Palin...[who is] an inspiration to working mothers everywhere," Fey said as she picked up the prize. She also gave a shout-out to "my parents, who are lifelong Republicans, for their patience."
"They thought the first four sketches were very funny and the last two, enough already," said Fey, who stands to collect more hardware at next weekend's Primetime Emmys.
Meanwhile, all that booty-shaking with Beyoncé and mother-loving with Susan Sarandon paid off for Justin Timberlake...
Robert Pattinson Doesn't Think Too Highly of Sharks
You'd think they'd get along since they have so much in common, but apparently, vampires don't like sharks. In fact, they "bother" them. Especially vamps like Robert Pattinson.
Jimmy Fallon has taken to the tree dressed as the beloved and bothered bloodsucker yet again. This time, he's not annoyed by Harry Potter. (Faux) Pattz just can't stand the Discovery Channel's Shark Week, and he's started a new website—RobertIsBothered.com—to vent his frustrations.
"Sharks are stupid," he declares. "Sharks bite people when they smell blood. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, wait! They're like vampires. Copycat fishes! Copyfishes. I can fly. Sharks can swim. That's pathetic."
Kristen Stewart even makes a cameo in the video. Pattz admits they're secretly together and he loves her. But things go south rather quickly. When she confesses would rather watch Shark Week programming than Cash Cab, he kisses her cheek and tosses her from the tree. Poor (inflatable) K.Stew.
Love it.
NBC, please get on the horn now to secure the real deal hanging among the branches, complaining about how the Late Night host bothers him. How awesome would that be?!

OMG! Robsten lovers, did you see this?!
Fallon, Diddy Slow Jam Obama's Poll Numbers
Diddy may have cultivated a rep for being the sample king, but he apparently has a thing for covers, too.
We just never thought President Barack Obama's poll numbers would be his source material of choice.
Leave it to Jimmy Fallon and the Roots to find the—dare we say—hope in the prez's slightly declining approval rating, enlisting Diddy to bring home their Rasmussen poll-inspired (the poor man's Gallup) slow jam. It's no auto-tuning the news, but still.
Statistical noise never sounded so good.

The Jimmy Fallon Health Care Bill Workout Plan
While Congress is struggling to push through a health care bill to President Obama, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon is simply pushing us to work out—using the 1,000 page bill known as HR-3200!
In a brilliantly stilted infomercial spoof, supermodel Carol Alt joins Jimmy tonight to demonstrate how 13 pounds of legalese and loopholes can work out all your major muscle groups, not to mention your funnybone. And if you act now, you can get your HR-3200 universal health care free-weight system for the low, low cost of $1 trillion.
Do it today!
Demi Lovato and Jimmy Fallon Headbang for Barney
Demi Lovato's purple past became her present Thursday night when she appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
Taking a cue from both the 16-year-old starlet's early beginnings as a regular on Barney & Friends and her affinity for making YouTube clips with bestie (and fellow dinosaur show alum) Selena Gomez, Jimmy asked Demi if they could make a video of them belting out a metal version of the very mellow theme song to that popular kids' program.
Never have the lyrics "I Love You, You Love Me, We're a Happy Family" sounded so hard-core.

Alec Baldwin Plays With Jimmy Fallon's Ugly "Look"
Would you listen to Jimmy Fallon play a third time?
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon offered up another round of his "Let Us Play With Your Look" segment last night. The first installment featured Will Ferrell reliving his Mugatu days, and last night had Alec Baldwin covering a poor girl in powder.
But the guests aren't the problem with this sketch.
Each time the bit begins, expectations rise. Fallon in an all-white spandex suit and a blond bob wig is funny! But then he starts singing, and singing, and singing. Farewell funny, hello migraine.
But maybe that's just us. What say you?

Jimmy did something far more attractive during one of last week's shows. See it here!
Robert Pattinson & Daniel Radcliffe Duke It Out
It's the matchup we've all been waiting for: Robert Pattinson vs. Daniel Radcliffe. Twilight vs. Harry Potter.
It's a meeting of minds so anticipated, they could have put it on pay-per-view.
Instead, the pair trade barbs for free on Late Night, courtesy of Jimmy Fallon.
Prepare for a play-by-play…

"Crazy Aunt" Oprah Addresses Grads, Receives Honorary Degree
It pays to have friends in high places.
That's what the 2009 graduating class of Duke University must have been thinking when Oprah Winfrey arrived at the ceremony to give a commencement address, as well as collect an honorary doctorate degree.
One possible reason for her appearance? Oprah's godson, and BFF Gayle King's son, William Bumpus, was among the 4,440 Duke graduates. Not that he is quick to brag about his Winfrey connection. Joked the Harpo big-wig, "Will never wants people to know he knows me. I'm like his crazy aunt that they let out at commencements."
Funny business aside, Winfrey provided sage advice and encouragement to the grads. "One of the best ways to enhance your own life is to enhance somebody else's," she said. "Each of us has to stand in our own shoes. Will you stand in them in humility and compassion and courage? Every day will give you a chance to make that choice."
