Selena Gomez wants you to know that she never said she doesn't like Twilight.

The Disney darling has been getting a lot of flack from Twi-hards because they're feeling like she dissed the world's most talked-about vampire franchise when she told Bonnie Hunt last week that she hasn't actually seen Twilight.

"All I said was that I didn't watch it and I felt bad for not watching it," Selena explained to me at yesterday's American Music Awards. "But of course, now it's like, 'I don't like it.' That's not the case."

And Selena is brave enough to admit that—gasp!—she hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twi-novels, either. "I feel bad," she said. "And I'm sorry if I offended anyone for that."

Selena certainly wasn't the only one talking Twilight and New Moon at the AMAs. Read on for more…

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...

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...

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...

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...

Stephenie Meyer revealed during her recent visit to Oprah that she doesn't know if there will be a fifth Twilight book because she's "a little burned out on vampires right now."

So it got us thinking: If she's suffering from bloodsucker fatigue, could others be feeling it, too?

Is Robert Pattinson jonesing for a break from vampires? What about Kristen Stewart? We asked and they answered.

Read on to find out what they and many of their costars told us at last night's New Moon premiere...

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner may be the big stars of New Moon, but it was a couple of hairy beasts who almost stole the spotlight at last night's premiere party at L.A.'s Hammer Museum.

Outside of the Volturi-inspired bash, under a tent designed to look like a forest, were two—ready for this?—real-life timberwolves. They were kept at a safe distance from guests behind a fence.

Now, let's get back to Rob and Kristen...

It's not exactly a national holiday, but there are some people who are treating tonight's New Moon premiere in Los Angeles as if it were one.

Kestlie Stefanelli, a 14-year-old from Truckee, Calif., has taken three days off from school so she could camp out near the theater in the Westwood Village neighborhood of L.A. She and her mother, Laurie, are two of an estimated 500 people who started arriving on Thursday with pup tents, lawn chairs and sleeping bags in hopes of securing a good spot on or near the red carpet?

Sure, Kellan Lutz thinks New Moon is a "great" movie, but he's not afraid to admit he's more excited by Eclipse.

"Eclipse is a masculine movie," Lutz says. "I love it. All the stunts I was able to do by myself. It's an action movie!"

In fact, Lutz thinks the third installment will bring even more new fans to the franchise...

AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz better get in as much time together as they can these days, because as we all know Lutz is pretty darn busy promoting that quiet little movie, New Moon.

Just last week the hunkster hit the Sony Cierge event at L.A.'s SLS hotel with his brother Brandon, but shortly before the shindig ended, along came the 90210 beauty and her ubiquitous nonfamous sister Angel.

Lutz and McCord were only spotted giving each other pecks on the cheek and even asked event organizers not to have their photo taken together, a source reports.

No biggie, because we got the chance to talk to Lutz a couple of days later. Ya gotta come back here tomorrow to find out what he had to tell us about liking Eclipse more than New Moon, his drooled-over muscles and trying to have a private life.

Meanwhile, keep reading for more celeb sightings, like Taylor Swift...

Move over, Queen Sophie-Ann!

There may be more lesbian vampires coming to True Blood.

Series creator Alan Ball recently told the Advocate magazine that he could imagine Eric's toughass sidekick, Pam, getting in on some girl-on-girl action.

And now Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam, tells us she's up for it…

Aaron Carter didn't exactly get spanked by Karina Smirnoff because he's lacking in the Twilight appreciation department, but she did give him a good talkin'.

Earlier this week, Carter got a lot of flack from Twi fans because not only didn't he do cartwheels for being compared to Robert Pattinson on Dancing With the Stars, but he admitted he still hadn't seen Twilight.

"I told Aaron, 'Don't put that out there. What if Rob does the next season of Dancing With the Stars?! I want him to come and dance,' " laughed Smirnoff.

As a little extra incentive for Pattinson, Smirnoff said she plans to watch Twilight with Carter as soon as the season is over. "Then we're going to tweet about Rob's great performance," she told us last night at the Genlux, Ford Models and Madison Kelly fashion party in Beverly Hills.

While we love our DWTS, we can't imagine Rob will be signing up for the show anytime soon.

Besides, Smirnoff isn't exactly lacking in the romance department…
