The Awful Truth

Summit Entertainment

Shocker—New Moon is dominating the box office. The second Twi flick grossed $26.3 million just in midnight showings. Sorry, Twi haters, but this franchise is here to stay.

We've done enough talking on New Moon this, Twilight that, so now it's your turn.

No doubt many of you are going to check out the flick this weekend, and we want to hear your thoughts. That nasty Answer B!tch posted a semigenius review of N.M. broken down into movie ratings based on your Twilight devotion.

As you all head to the theater to check out not very much R.Pattz but more Kristen and Taylor, let us know if you think Twilight 2 lives up to its hype.

New Moon is going to open huge today, no doubt about it, so it's never too soon to look ahead. 

We recently chatted with producer Bill Bannerman and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg about what fans can expect for Eclipse—the third film in The Twilight Saga, due next summer. Many reports have called it much darker, with new director David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night), so we asked if the PG-13 audience would still be able to hang. 

Plus, we've got more updates for you on the fate of Breaking Dawn...

"I mean, a lot of it has to do with what's fun and exciting. But I think I have the advantage of being a chameleon. I want to play every and any role—I don't want to be stuck in one place. It's important to reach out to every demographic." 

—New Moon's Ashley Greene, when we asked her how she picks and chooses what press to do. Like her Maxim cover, for example, rather than other teen-centric mags. Rob, Kristen and Taylor probably don't get that much of a choice since the entire movies focus around them, but it's clear Ash wants to be seen as not just a franchised chick. Don't ya think? 

Better question: Is it working?

New Moon hits theaters at midnight, which is why we've made this week nonstop Twilight (next week for you haters we'll try and just stop, promise). As Twilight fever hits, I sink my teeth into the top truths and lies about the slurp-a-sexy New Moon cast.

You'll never guess how it ends...

Head on over to our Truth, Lies, & Ted archive for more dirt.

Twilight's Nikki Reed sat down with Rachael Ray to promote New Moon, and that dubious chef and fake nicey-type got Nikki to spill some deets about her love life.

Relax, Team Kristen, Reed had nothing to say on Robert Pattinson.

It was all about her current beau, Paris Latsis, and how her new lovah has made her a better person and made her quit her nasty habits...

"I think Megan Fox was actually touted once. Which is ridiculous! I don't know how that happened. That poor girl is so saturated [in the media] with sex."

—Our new New Moon crush Charlie Bewley, when we asked him if he pays attention to all of the hookup rumors surrounding the Twi cast

Jeez, no idea where the Fox rumor could have gotten started! One of our Vancouver spies still swears something happened between Robert Pattinson and foxy Fox, but who really knows?

As for which girl Mr. Bewley had his eye on? Seems too many of the female leads were already swooped up...

Hey, Margo and Charlie Casablanca reporting.

While every stupid human out there is so busy bitch-fighting over who has the better abs—Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner—nobody's really seeing why their New Moon costar Kellan Lutz beats them all! Now, not only does Kellan have rock-hard abs, biceps, thighs and just about every other attribute a healthy homo erectus could want, he's also got the best heart, paws down.

Kel-babe, as our stupidly Twi-hard dad would say, doesn't even pay attention to all that gooey AnnaLynne McCord and love crap said about him. Instead, he uses his time in the media to talk about how important it is to rescue chicks like us.

Take Lutz's appearance on Ellen, where he not only talked about how fans hit on him while he was nude...

This is too friggin' funny. While Robert Pattinson taped a segment for the The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing Friday), he asked a fan to strip off her clothes. And she did!

"I was doing a preinterview for this [show], and I immediately regretted saying that," the awkwardly adorable R.Pattz says. "I sound like I'm actually just abusing my position.

"It was after a period of signing 500 signatures, and one of [the fans] just came up. You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything, and I kind of got bored of saying, 'Hey, how are you doing?' And [the fan] said in her 10 seconds, 'What can I do to get your attention?' I was like, 'Um, just take your clothes off.' And she stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security. I never felt more terrible."

This makes us love Rob 10 times more! Perverted, huh? We would start messing with fans, too, after a while. Actually, we're shocked R.Pattz hasn't done it more. He has so much power over these helpless ones! Might as well make it entertaining.

The fact that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart didn't pose together on the New Moon premiere red carpet—and didn't hang much at the afterparty—rubbed many Twilight fans the wrong way. 

Is big bad Summit putting the kibosh on Robsten? (Again?)

We all know how many suits felt when Rob and Kristen were first getting their flirt on, but from what we've been told, they couldn't care less now.

So what gives? We chatted with New Moon and Twilight producer Bill Bannerman to get the business perspective, and also one of Rob and Kristen's costars...

"Well, I'm single, so let's see what these girls are bringing to the table!" 

—The delicious and drool-worthy Kellan Lutz when we filled him in on all his Twitter marriage proposals. Seriously, this guy is such a stud!

But is he worth all the hype?

"Psh, I dunno! It makes sense to me, though. I mean look [pointing at hundreds of female fans behind her], they're all chicks!" 

—Kristen Stewart, when we asked why there is so much fuss about Team Jacob versus Team Edward and why there's no Team Bella!

After all, the girl who it centers around should get some say in this, don't you think? Sadly, K.Stew is right, girls are more likely to cheer for their dream man instead of dream BFF. 

Kristen was totally calm, cool, and collected when dealing with fans and press this year. She seemed to have it much more together than the Twilight premiere one year ago today. 

Maybe she's just gotten used to it by now, except, if you ask us, we don't know how you could ever get used to all the fame she has. But Kristen handles it extremely well for her age. Does anyone else remember she's only 19 years old?

Look! Pics from the New Moon Premiere!

We've got tons of dish for you from the entire New Moon cast and premiere, but let's get to the really good stuff first—Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

The two didn't snap pics together on the carpet, and no one could ask the two stars for any personal bites on each other. But we were able to squeeze some cuteness out of Rob.

Producer Bill Bannerman, by the by, told us Kristen was the Julia Child of the cast. So does Rob like her home cookin', too? And how did the two spend their day off in Madrid?

We've got all this, plus piles o' dish from the afterparty, so you'll def want to read on:
