The Awful Truth

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...

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:

"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...

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:

Let's face it: Vampires, in general, are a pretty salacious bunch. But we've basically got two kinds lurking around, right?

There's the more noble and chiseled variety, as in Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen. But on the other fang, you've got flesh-chomping sex-crawlers Nikki Reed and Alexander Skarsgård. On-camera, too, for that matter!

Which begs, just begs, the need for a new addition to our fab Celeb Addictionary! Certainly for castmembers of the myriad Vamp shows and movies who can't necessarily be trusted with humans' throats once the day's shooting is done.

Want to hear what we think they should be called?

Vamp-Tramp, of course!

Exact definition: (noun) one who plays a vampire on camera, but whose off-camera neck-thirsty antics pale by comparison.

Can you top that? Then slap your saucy words into the Addictionary widget below.

Oh, and by the way, I suppose you could talk us into putting R.Pattz and Kristen Stewart into this definition, but we'd probably have to be drinking the same thing as Lindsay Lohan to agree to it. After all, Robsten's all about subtlety, which Skarsgård and Reed seem to run from like Dracula flees from garlic bread.
