Today's the world premiere of New Moon in Los Angeles, and of course, Team Awful will be on hand to give you the delicious run down (live on Twitter!) of the smoldering flirtation going on behind the scenes.

In honor of the big day, we're taking the time to look back in Twilight history. Technically, the Twilight premiere was one year ago tomorrow, but what the hell—take a look at some of our interviews from last year and see how much has changed. Or not at all (you'll love the Nikki Reed tidbit): 

ROBERT PATTINSON

How do you handle the fame and all of these screaming girls?

"I don't really, I'm just here. I don't know if I'm accepting it or not really. It's completely ridiculous, I mean last year no one cared at all."

Have you ever cared for anyone like Edward does for Bella?

"Not as deeply."

So if you are single, what do you look for in a girl?

"A little bit of madness."

TAYLOR LAUTNER

What was it like signing onto this film with a bunch of up-and-comers like yourself?

"I was actually nervous at first because I'm the youngest cast member. But the cast is amazing, they're so friendly and they hangout all the time. Working with Catherine [Hardwicke] was amazing. I actually heard some scary stories from her, 'she's a yeller, she's a screamer' but she's the biggest goofball I've ever met."

Any funny behind-the-scene moments?

"It doesn't have to do with me. But Edi Gethegi who plays Laurent would call people's rooms with a voice named Kelly and go 'Hey this is Kelly the PA, your call time is now 3 a.m. in the morning'. People would freak out and call and complain to their managers and then they'd figure out it was Edie. It was really funny."

Too fun! Anyone the most pissed off?

"I don't know! I know he told Jackson that they were dying his hair and he wasn't too happy about that."

ELIZABETH REASER

So what was going on with Rob and Kristen? Any truth to those hookup rumors?

"Oh, is there a rumor about that! I don't think so, but I'm just the mom I don't know what's going on behind the scenes."

NIKKI REED

[at start of interview overheard us talking with Elizabeth]

"You know Kristen has a boyfriend, don't you?"

Yes. So what was it like working on this film?

"You know when you're stuck in a town like Portland when it's raining a lot, and there are 20 of you in the cast, you get really close, we bonded. I can't say that about any other film I've done."

Any funny behind the scene moments?

"Yeah, me and Kristin both slipping in the streets of Portland while we were carrying groceries from Whole Foods."

KELLAN LUTZ

So what happened when the camera's weren't rolling, any off-screen hookups?

"Jackson [Rathbone] and I well... I mean he gives good massages. No, no I don't know. There's nothing, rumors are rumors. We were so much like the Brady Bunch family nothing like that would happen."

How do you plan to handle the girls that are bound to harass you come Friday?

"It's a guys dream come true!"

MICHAEL WELCH

What was it like having to come to the set and be in love with Kristen every day?

"Really difficult. I'm kidding, she's incredible. She just naturally is so interesting and so mysterious and beautiful. It was really very easy to tap into that connection."

You guys are all an attractive cast, any comment on all the rumors about behind the scene hookups?

"You know what in all honesty I wasn't privy to any of that, I wasn't involved in any of that. You know there were a lot of rumors going around, but I think that was generated off set. Sorry to disappoint I don't think any of that happened. But I could be wrong!"
