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...
Kellan and Peter Open Up About Holding Hands

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...

Mark Seliger/ Harper's Bazaar
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 being 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...
New Moon Party Turns Into Animal House
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 was one.
Kestlie Stefanelli, a 14-year-old from Truckee, CA, has taken three days off from school so she could camp out near the premiere's 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…

Congrats, Kellan Lutz!
I just got word that the New Mooner will be one of just about five honorees at the upcoming Variety Power of Youth event. Mr. Lutz is being recognized for his work with abused, neglected and abandoned children at the Royal Family Kids Camp.
Power of Youth awards will be given out on Dec. 5 at the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
And you thought only Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart got all the attention!
Pattinson and Stewart: The New Combs and Lopez?
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are so Sean "Puffy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez.
Lemme explain...
Back in the late 90s, I was a reporter for the New York Daily News. At the time, Combs and Lopez were the biggest superstars around. But they weren't quick to confirm or deny they were an actual couple.
It wasn't until Combs' first annual white party at his house in the Hamptons that we finally got an answer...
Barrymore & Long: Brunch Ado About Nothing?
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are so totally square.
The maybe-couple had brunch together yesterday at Square One in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. "They were by themselves for a while and both sitting on the same side of the table and then two women joined them," a fellow diner says.
Speaking of Mr. Long...
Kellan Lutz: More Excited by Eclipse Than New Moon
James Breeden/ Sam Sharma PacificCoastNews.com
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...
I'm Sick of Hearing About Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (Yup, I Said It!)
Stop the madness.
Seriously. We gotta stop with all this Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart craziness.
I get it. You—we—want to know all about what goes on off-camera.
But it's gone overboard, people...
New Moon Is Rising In Hollywood
It's starting to happen!
There have been super secret screenings of New Moon here in Hollywood. I'm told they've been very VIP. You know, people like executives and other muckety-mucks.
Nope, I haven't gotten an invite. Fingers are crossed that one will come soon.
It seems so long ago that I went to the press screening of Twilight...
