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:

Despite the fact that we all knew New Moon was coming and The Oprah Winfrey Show was going sometime soonish, the stars of both made major splashes this week every time they offered up even the weeniest tidbit of information for their adoring fans.
We, on the other hand, have offered up a tidal wave of info from the week gone by. You better dive in and start swimming...
Beating the Crap Out Of Robert Pattinson Edward

The thought of Robert Pattinson getting hurt is just too much too bear, isn't it?
But that's exactly what could have happened if anything had gone wrong during his and Daniel Cudmore's big, violent fight scene in New Moon.
Cudmore, the Tom Brady-esque hunkster who plays Volturi vampire Felix, said some of the stunts got a little too close for comfort when he and Pattinson went at it.
"Because of my contacts, my peripheral vision was off, so there were a couple of times where I thought I was going to really hit him," Cudmore recalled at the New Moon premiere in L.A. "Luckily, I didn't."
Maybe that's why Pattinson seemed a bit nervous when they first began working on the scene...
New Moon Spreading Like a Virus...Literally
Kimberly French/ Summit Entertainment
Kristen Stewart may cook a mean spam, but you don't want to taste her phish.
Internet scammers are taking advantage of Twilight fans and the rise of New Moon with an increased number of viruses, spywear and phishing schemes.
Especially be wary of the "vampire byte" that'll suck out your financial information and install malware on your computer faster than the Volturi can find your carotid.
So how do fanggirls avoid falling prey?
Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Private Party for Two

While most of the New Moon cast was at the official afterparty following last night's screening in New York, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart slipped away for some private quality time.
Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli all hit up the postscreening bash held at the Box. Ed Westwick also made a late appearance, with girlfriend Jessica Szohr arriving even later.
But Rob and Kristen were over at Avenue, holding court at a table upstairs with a bodyguard making sure people gave them their privacy—but no such luck.
Rob, trying to go incognito, wore a baseball cap, while Kristen was smoking a cigarette (which is illegal). Unlike the movie, there was no Taylor around, and Kristen seemed to only have eyes for Rob...

True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
HBO/Jaimie Trueblood
Alexander Skarsgård can't wait to start shooting the next season of True Blood.
"It's been like five or six months since I've seen most of them," Skarsgård, who plays vampire Eric on the hit HBO series, told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I miss the whole cast and crew. It's sort of my family away from my family in Sweden."
In the meantime, there is that other bloodsucking megahit phenomenon sweeping the world universe to keep everyone company. So, will Mr. Skarsgård be checking out New Moon?
"When does it open?" he said, smiling. "I'll get my sleeping bag and wait in line." (P.S.: Maybe Kate Bosworth will join him. The maybe-couple were quite adorable in their comfy coziness at the GQ party).
Now back to vampires, Skarsgård isn't the only one cracking jokes—at least we think he was joking—about camping out to see the return of Robert Pattinson & Co...

Top Model Winner Nicole Has a Secret Rendezvous With Robert Pattinson

So let us get this straight. While millions of fans and hordes of paparazzi around the world are going bat-poop crazy trying to gain access to Hollywood's No. 1 It man, a petite little artist who was so shy she used to eat her lunch alone in a bathroom stall just—whoopsie!—bumped smack into him?
'Tis true. Oh yeah, and she also just so happened to win America's Next Top Model.
You know the drill: Along with the title, Nicole Fox receives a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl, management by Wilhelmina Models cover and a Seventeen magazine cover.
But now apparently there is a new prize: a backstage rendezvous with Robert Pattinson.
We spoke with Nicole this morning, and in addition to dishing the deets on her ANTM victory, she revealed her surprise run-in with the world's most celebrated vampire earlier today...
Robert Pattinson: All the Rumors Are True
See, you can believe everything you read. At least according to Robert Pattinson, who fessed up to all those relentless rumors about him during an appearance on the Today show Thursday morning.
Nonstop dating? Yep. Romancing a costar? Of course. Engaged? Absolutely. Hit by a cab? Definitely. Drug overdose? Damn straight!
All right, so maybe he was joking when he said yes to that last one. Or to some of them. Or all of them.
"I actually come up with these rumors about myself," Pattinson pointed out.
OK, now we know he's kidding!
Or is he?

Johnny Depp Really the Sexiest? You Beg to Differ

Apparently, you're not really feelin' Johnny Depp.
Based on your numerous comments and clicks on our poll this morning, many of you agree with People's pick for Sexiest Man Alive, but a majority of you would have gone in a different direction.
Well, we hear you loud and clear...and you're not alone.
"I'm a bit surprised," a taken-aback America's Next Top Model judge "Miss J" Alexander told us at the VH1 Save the Music Big Shopping event at the W Hotel Times Square this afternoon.
We read what you had to say about this hot-button issue and tallied your first choices (yeah, we're that scientific from time to time). We're not going to lie—you surprised us.
Your hottest hottie, by a landslide, is...
Abuse Us Some More, Rob Pattinson!
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.

Kellan and Peter Open Up About Holding Hands
nationalphotogroup.com
Kellan Lutz isn't too worried about the discovery of a photo of him and Peter Facinelli holding hands.
"That one is fine," Lutz told me with a laugh at the New Moon premiere. "It's the naked one of us in the bubble bath that would really get us into trouble."
If only Mr. Lutz was serious. But obviously, he's not...
