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:

Ever feel like you're alone in your undying adoration of all things Twilight?

Probably not, but if it's any consolation, funnyman Jimmy Kimmel is right there with you.

Last Friday, the late-night host welcomed the New Moon crew to his show, and encountered a dilemma each of us faces all too often: Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner? Or better yet, Edward or Jacob?

"They're very good-looking people," he told E! News at the International Myeloma Foundation charity event. "They're vampires—one of them is a werewolf. You don't see that too much."

So, which is it? Kimmel's not picking sides (smart move!). "I think it's racist to pick between vampires and werewolves," the star teased. "So, I'll say that I love all monsters equally."

"Monsters" seems a bit strong. We prefer to call them "sexy beasts."

If Jimmy Kimmel wants to know the Top 10 reasons why you shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink, we know just the man he can turn to.

ABC's late-night leader has taken a page from David Letterman's book—granted, a much more transparent and much less controversial page—with the revelation that he's been dating a longtime underling on his staff.

Suddenly, his kid-glove treatment of Letterman's mini-scandal makes a little more sense.

Kimmel's rep spent the majority of the weekend confirming his relationship with the show's cohead writer, Molly McNearney, which sources tell E! News is several months in.

While they were at it, sources also went on to preemptively shoot down rumors that the relationship may have helped McNearney on her climb up the corporate ladder: While she started as an assistant to the executive producer back in 2003, she joined the writing staff soon after and was promoted to her current position more than a year ago, well before her relationship with Kimmel began.

As for the host, the coupling marks his first relationship since his split from Sarah Silverman earlier this year.

Ben Affleck's gonna be so disappointed.

Missed Letterman's latest apology? Watch it again now.

Here's a public option everyone can get behind! Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel enlists hip-hop star T-Pain to remix President Obama on health care. T-Pain utillizes his slick Auto-Tune iPhone application to turn standard speechifying into hip-hop health care in no time flat. Maybe if Obama had used T-Pain's Auto-Tune app in Copenhagen, he could have sung Chicago to an Olympic win.

You'd better apologize to Matt Damon tonight, Jimmy Kimmel.

Because otherwise, the very-much alive movie star might unleash hell on you, the way he did on your sidekick Guillermo, who tonight dared to ape Damon's character from The Informant!, right down to the fake 'stache and cheap suit.

With Informant! costar Joel McHale standing idly by, Damon and Guillermo went to town on each other, movie-star-style, after Damon caught the portly parking-lot attendant posing as him and dared to question his thespian credentials.

"Is that my mustache?" Damon demanded, ripping it right off Guillermo's face, after which Kimmel's loyal stooge sent the best lover Sarah Silverman ever had flying right into a table.

When all was said and done and the apple chunks had been knocked out of McHale's smug mouth, Damon let it be known who he really blamed for all his troubles in life.

"I'm going to f--king kill Kimmel," he vowed.

They're f--king (with) Matt Damon.

Though at least he won't be hurting for material when he turns up—alive and well—to chat with David Letterman tonight.

Fangirls' collective hearts briefly stopped beating yesterday evening when the Internet became awash with reports—or really, just one dubious and, as it happens, reycycled year-old report—that the Oscar-winning father of two had passed away.

Unlike the usual fake celebrity death reports that see victims falling off New Zealand cliffs, Damon's demise reportedly came during a trek through California's Palo Verde Mountains on Wednesday after going missing during a camping trip.

Never mind that Damon wouldn't have time to go camping even if the inclination struck, busy as he's been promoting The Informant! in both Venice and New York over the past few days.

Giving the rumor a touch (though just) of credibility, it cited TMZ as the source of the sad news.

And while the words "Matt Damon," "is" and "dead" did in fact appear on said site yesterday, it wasn't exactly a declaration.

We all knew it was coming—Kathy Griffin in a cheap Kate Gosselin wig and bikini (she's almost as bad as a Kardashian with all the bikini posing).

Ever since Kate became the saint of the Gosselin family, everyone's been so easy on her. So it is kinda nice to see the return of old Kate we knew and hated so much before Jon started taking our attention.

You remember her, right? The eye-rolling, fame-whoring, water-denying all-around put-out mom. Ah, those were the days.

And yes, there is a J.Goss cameo courtesy of George Takei. Enjoy!

Or don't enjoy because there are eight adorable kids mixed up in all this. It's up to you!

Well, that's one way for Megan Fox to get in good with Katherine Heigl. And the guys from Entourage.

During a promotional pit stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, Seth Rogen let his rejection flag fly…and our morning (and now yours) has been made all the funnier for it.

Remembering his first time on Kimmel's couch, which just so happened to coincide with the talk-show debut of a then-unknown Fox, Rogen recounted how he graciously agreed, at the nervous actress' personal behest, to stay on stage throughout her segment.

When she came out, adhering to proper male guest protocol, Rogen attempted to plant a kiss on Fox (the cheek), which is when all humiliating hell broke loose.

Cue tape!

Never look a gift horse camel in the mouth. Or any other orifice from which fluids may flow (and flow, and flow...).

Ben Stiller brought new meaning to the term hump day Wednesday, turning up on Jimmy Kimmel Live! bearing an unsolicited and equally un-house-trained beast as an offering for the host.

"I know how you feel about camels, and this is your camel," Stiller said, explaining that he learned of the chat host's devotion to the desert dwellers while perusing his Wikipedia page. "It's for the man who loves camels more than anything."

"I don't even know what you're talking about," Kimmel replied. "It's nice and all, but I have no particular feeling about camels one way or another."

Unless, it seems, they have particularly weak bladders.

"This one has a leak, it looks like."

• Justin Timberlake spent time on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night explaining all kinds of stuff: his Kilimanjaro climb (to benefit a charity), his Elvis Costello glasses (to see better) and his recent makeout sesh with girlfriend Jessica Biel at a Lakers game (to show up the smooch between Dustin Hoffman and his girlfriend).

• Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey appeared on the red carpet of an antiques show together so, you know, we could see them still together. Because seeing is believing.

• Mario Batali is Gwyneth Paltrow's only fat friend, but she's trying to change that. So sweet.

• Chad Michael Murray's fiancé is Miss USA's sister, which has nothing to do with Miss California Carrie Prejean.

• Jimmy Fallon and his wife are pretty stinkin' cute together.

Vanessa Hudgens is just the latest star to jump on the pants-free bandwagon, highlighted in our No Pants, No Problem gallery!

Just a couple days after breaking up again with Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel had to go on The View. (The ladies are taping in Los Angeles this week, so he really had no excuse to miss it.)

Jimmy tried to minimize some of the inevitable breakup talk by dressing up as Rosie O'Donnell, but after they got over the initial shock of Jimmy in drag, it was right into Silverman territory. 

When asked what happened, he took full blame: “I’m a 41-year-old man with a bra filled with Koosh balls. What do you think happened?" he asked. "I’m an imbecile and she couldn’t date an imbecile anymore.”

On whether this is going to continue to be an on-and-off sort of thing, Jimmy says, "I don't know. Ask her." So if you read here they're back together again in a few months, don't be surprised. Just don't ask Jimmy.

Slumdog may have swept last night's Oscars, but it took a TomKat to really kill. And we really do mean kill.

What Jimmy Kimmel Live's annual Oscar night special lacked in X-rated Matt Damon and Ben Affleck musical montages, it made up for with 30 of the arguably most entertaining seconds of the night, a tall order, given Hugh Jackman's mostly rave reviews.

During the Academy Awards, Kimmel aired an action-packed promo for his late-night yukfest featuring none other than Tom Cruise—a vengeful, cat-fabricating, newly homeless Tom Cruise. In Kimmel's post-Oscars telecast, Cruise delved deeper into what went into crafting the would-be YouTube hit (hint: "Jimmy kept calling and calling…begging") in Behind the Scenes of the Jimmy Kimmel Live Thirty Second Promo.

But the encounter wasn't quite the mutual admiration society Kimmel may have been hoping for.

"I've worked with so many great actors in my career," Cruise said. "This is a nice change.

"I dig your stuff, too…the Top 10 list? That's hilarious. And the Jay-walking, I love that stuff."
