Beating the Crap Out Of Robert Pattinson Edward
Kimberley French/Summit Entertainment
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?
Uh-Oh! New Moon Should Have Been Better
Not that I'm presuming what I think about New Moon will have any effect on ticket sales, but this being the big day, I just felt I had to vent a little.
Sad to say, but I had some problems with the movie. I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to.
The corny dialogue irked me, Taylor Lautner's overpumped bod on the big screen is way too meathead and did Kristen Stewart actually enjoy kissing Robert Pattinson's Christmas cranberry red lips?
The computer-generated werewolves were cool. But they seemed to be in the wrong movie. They were too slick for this flick.
Don't worry, I do have some nice things to say...
Eclipse Darker? Breaking Dawn on Hold? Suits Speak!

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...
Update
New Moon's "Absolutely Freakish" Debut
Summit Entertainment
What else is there to say about New Moon that hasn't already been gushed? That the sequel to you-know-what starring you-know-who and -who and -who grossed a record-setting, undead-enlivening, "absolutely freakish" $26.3 million in Friday midnight screenings?
Well, there's that.
Yes, New Moon usurped the midnight crown from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($22.2 million), which ousted The Dark Knight ($18.5 million) this past July. Nudge the person in the theater next to you, and pass it on.
How do we know you're reading this on a handheld at a multiplex? Because chances are you are.
No Twilight for Dave Navarro: "I'm an Adult!"

While supporting fellow rock babe Mary Weiland during her book party (Fall to Pieces) at Book Soup in West Hollywood, Dave Navarro told me he's "Team Nobody," when I asked if he was on Edward's or Jacob's bus.
"I'm an adult," sniffed Carmen Electra's tattooed and famously ablicious ex, with more derision than I have for stars like Paris Hilton who buy dogs from puppy mills.
Jeez, who does this dude think he is, Miley Cyrus or something?
Why can't the Red Hot Chili Pepper pot share the vampire love, already? I mean, he kinda looks like one, right?
"Yeah, I started this look," insisted the bearded demi-dude all in black and multiple tatts.
"Gosh, Dave, you're not even into True Blood?" I asked.
Suddenly, Navarro looked like I'd said he has the most unbeatable tummy muscles in the world:
Blab Blab Blab: Ashley's Afraid of Being Typecast
Nino Munoz; Maxim Magazine
"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?

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...
Truth, Lies & Ted: Twilight Special
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...

Link Party: Robert Pattinson Can Play Nonvampires
• Look! A movie where Robert Pattinson doesn't play a vampire but instead a lost guy going through a quarterlife crisis who finds his happiness through a quirky girl who eats her dessert first! OMG! Ahhh! Hmmm, this Remember Me movie is a lot harder to get excited about than those Twilight ones. We tried though.
• Ever wanted that dead-in-the-eye, bland Hollywood starlet look? Well, Lauren Conrad is releasing a style book to help you achieve just that. It will undoubtedly sell lots of copies, and we will be sad about that.
• Videos of Lady Gaga when she still went by the name Stefani Germanotta are always so fascinating.
• The New York Times Magazine decided not to print Megan Fox's crotch shots in its profile of the actress 'cause it's classy like that (leave that stuff to Rolling Stone), but they still made it to the Internet anyway!
• Now for an update on Amy Winehouse's fake breasts from, you guessed it, her father: She "had a little leaky something or other" and they "looked wonky." Everything about that is gross.

Today our favorite billy goat, Brad Pitt, makes a Big Pic appearance and he's looking...cool? Is that what we should call him?
How Paris Has Changed Nikki
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...
