Something tells us you already know all too well that the New Moon premiere is tonight. That's not news.

But what you don't know is how its stars are spending their day preparing for the big event.

They're on Twitter, of course!

"Many people wonder what celebs do the morning of their movie premiere," Peter Facinelli writes. "I would like know 2, seeing how I'm at the DMV renewing my license."

Once he was ready to drive, he cruised by the scene of the big red-carpet event.

"Drove past the Westwood theatre on my motorcycle to wave hi to the fans on the way home from DMV. You guys are awesome," he gushes.

Anna Kendrick and Jackson Rathbone are playing a bit more coy with their anticipation, Rachelle Lefevre sounds like she may have other plans and wait 'til you hear what other lucky ducks scored seats to the big show.

Since we've already learned that hand-holding equals a hot and heavy relationship, we'll have to apply that new rule to people who aren't in vampire movies as well.

Despite reports that 21-year-old Dancing With the Stars hottie Julianne Hough and her 30-year-old country boy Chuck Wicks had called it quits, the handsome pair may still be together.

And how do we know?

Because they were totally holding hands at the CMA Awards last night!

Hough skipped the red carpet—presumably to avoid questions about the breakup—while Wicks was working it for Entertainment Tonight. Later, both were seen standing together chatting with a small group of people backstage during the show. E! News' eyewitness claims they appeared playful, swinging their interlaced hands back and forth as they talked.

E! News was told they had been fighting over who would take possession of the house they own together, but we can assume they were discussing something a bit more upbeat as they watched Taylor Swift walk away with four statuettes.

There's no guarantee that the couple that sambas together will stay together.

Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks have called it quits, about six months since the aspiring country-music stars competed together on Dancing With the Stars and barely three months after the two reportedly bought a house together.

The seemingly sudden split was first reported by People.

"What's been fun is that we never argued at all," Hough told E! News after their run on DWTS ended with a sixth-place showing. "We've had a little tiff here and there, but about dance movements. It was fun. We had this passion. It was fun for us because we never argued."

Even now, according to People's source, they didn't argue about breaking up.

"This was mutual," the source said. "They both needed some time apart."

But they can't avoid each other just yet. Both are due to put in an appearance at tomorrow's Country Music Association Awards. Hough, 21, is scheduled to present, while Wicks, 30, will be working the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight.

So here we have another couple of pretty faces for our Big Celebrity Splits gallery.

Sony Pictures

She may be 77-years-old, but Elizabeth Taylor is nothing if not a trendsetter.

Michael Jackson's close friend was the first to Twitter her review of the star's final performance, This Is It, in 19 rounds of 140 characters or less, but, after last night's premiere, she certainly wasn't the last.

And she wasn't the only idol loving the film either.

"I'm sitting in the Nokia Theater in awe of the This Is It movie!," wrote Paula Abdul. "So many emotions are coming up for me I can't believe He's Gone BRILLIANT."

"MJ movie is powerful," Ryan Seacrest said. "The singing…the dancing!! He was a perfectionist…and very funny."

Dancing With the Stars hottie Julianne Hough felt the message as well.

"MJ movie was amazing so inspiring and motivating!!! Let's make this world a better place," she encouraged.

Like Liz, one viewer thought the film was ripe for awards, while several Glee-ful stars gave their takes…

That Footloose remake is gonna need a new director. 

Kenny Ortega, the director of Michael Jackson's concert film This is It and formerly the Footloose helmer, reportedly had issues about the tone and budget of the dance flick and left the project, according to Variety.   

While Paramount Pictures declined to comment on Variety's report, the production company confirmed Ortega's departure to E! News, saying "Coming off of the extraordinary project, Michael Jackson's "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega has decided it is premature for him to commit to his next film and will not be moving forward with "Footloose" as previously reported."

Production on the film is still set to commence in March, with Chace Crawford and Julianne Hough reprising the famed lead roles once played by Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer.
