True Blood Star Camping Out for New Moon Tix?!
HBO/Jaimie Trueblood
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 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...

Rob Pattinson, Kristin Stewart and New Moon Cast Talk Vampire Burnout
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 Fans Camp Out For Tonight's Premiere

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...
DWTS' Karina Scolds Aaron for His Twilight Blunder

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…
Dancing's Aaron Carter Can Kiss Those Twilight Votes Good-Bye

OMG! Aaron Carter is so not that excited about being compared to Robert Pattinson.
Just last week, Dancing With the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli gushed about the pop singer's performance with Karina Smirnoff: "It was a little like watching Robert Pattinson tangoing in Twilight!"
But when we caught up with Carter yesterday, he was rather blah about the whole thing…
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...
