We know the box office for New Moon is going through the roof like a werewolf chasing a vampire bat or something, so obviously fans are digging it. Reviewers, of course, not so much.

But taking a cue from our modular review of New Moon, we've decided to do a poll for Twilight saga fanatics only.

So take the poll below and sound off in the comments section. (Note: We'll have another poll later for people who are barf-bucket sick of all these suckers, so store up that vitriol!)

The discovery of significant amounts of water on the moon a few days ago was a key moment in the history of space exploration. But we're guessing there's a different kind of New Moon info that's more likely to send you into orbit, what with Monday's big Twilight sequel premiere in Los Angeles an all.

Which got us to thinking, do icy moon rocks rock your world, or do you favor icy-hot vampires? OK, we've got a pretty good guess which way you're leaning on this, but let's keep things scientific and you tell us in the poll below.

Taste the frenzy as it builds with our New Moon: World Tour Madness gallery.

Mimi has really come to play on her version of Foreigner's gospel-rock classic, "I Want to Know What Love Is." She's scouting the elusive "L" in a packed baseball stadium, watching her tiny self sing in the center of the diamond from the huge video replay monitors.

If the setting is grandiose, her musical taste is clearly down-to-earth. She shows restraint in the verses and the first chorus with a breathy, emotional voice, before the inevitable pyrotechnics later in the song: the gospel choir eruption, hitting the dog-whistle high notes, the naked emotionalism mixed with amazing technical accomplishment—you know, the whole Mariah Carey thing.

It definitely microwaves our burrito, but what did you think? Is this an instant classic or instantly forgettable cheese? Let us know in the comments section.

According to reports, oft-rehabbed Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler may split from the group to work on solo projects. Isn't that like the sun taking time off to work on solar issues. In other words, doesn't it seem like Aerosmith is pretty much of a Steven Tyler solo project already? But who knows, maybe Joe Perry and the other guys, whoever they are, are better off without that knock-off Jagger dude (Jagger-off?).

Clearly, these waters are too deep for us, so help us out and let us know if you think the classic rockers should continue to "Dream On" and "Walk This Way" and whatnot.

Picturesque train-wreck Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford many more lip injections if reports of getting dropped by her record label are true. And that's the good news!

According to reports from FoxNews.com and the New York Post, not only has one-time singer Lohan been dropped by Casablanca Records, it's also revealed that her high profile (and widely panned) fashion gig for Ungaro is a freebie. The Post's Page Six column reports that Lindsay even paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion week show—though she did reportedly cart off $100,000 worth of Ungaro clothes.

What's a girl to do when your main job is a glorified internship? Well, what about a reality show?

If you're like us, you spent your weekend wondering about Balloon Boy's next move. What? You have a life? We envy you.

For our part, we've been pondering the options available to BB (aka Falcon Heene), especially in light of possible criminal charges for his parents.

Looking like a House-music Matt Damon, Nick Jonas (and The Joni) crank it up and prank it up with Demi Lovato (and other pals) in this spin-sational dance spoof. Nick rocks a way-bogus 'stache to maximum comic effect and offers this inspirational lyric: "My jeans are so tight, it makes these people dance." Wow, that's tight!

America's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff clearly has a talent...for bad publicity, if nothing else. According to reports, the Baywatch bruiser and popular-in-Germany crooner had too much to drink and slugged the doctor at his London hotel after returning from Simon Cowell's birthday bash.

The semi-reliable New York Post and the oft-dubious U.K. Sun report that Hasselhoff was actually trying to slug his assistant for calling the doctor. According to a source close to the actor: "David was furious and lashed out at him—but he mistakenly hit the doctor."

OK, so she's no threat to LL Cool J or Eminem or even T-Pain, but Miley Cyrus knows how to rap a little bit in a corny-cool old-school style and she knows how to milk a moment like nobody's business. As we reported this morning, Miley pulled the plug on her Twitter account and now she spills the deets to the beats (see video above). A sample:

"Yeah, you write what you're doing but who really cares/If I'm playing with Noah or just doing my hair/Everything that I type and everything I do/All those lame gossip sites take it and they make it news."

So what if she's a Twitter quitter, we're not bitter. Hey, are those backup dancers, or just her babysitters? Peace-out!

Here's a Public Option everyone can get behind! Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel enlists hip-hop star T-Pain to remix President Obama on healthcare. T-Pain utillizes his slick Auto-Tune iPhone application to turn technocrat babble into bouncy techo-pop in no time flat. Maybe if Obama had used T-Pain's Auto-Tune ap in Copenhagen he could have sung Chicago to an Olympic win.

Obviously, it's been a bad week for surprise(d) ladies man David Letterman. But that doesn't mean it's a bad week for talk show hosts in general. Case in point, Jay Leno gets in on some of Dave's hot action, gingerly mocking his talk show rival and former pal in last night's monologue (see video above). And it seems like Leno knows a little bit about blackmail himself.

Jay also comes clean by saying he's never had sex...At least not with any of his staff. An admission that has unexpected repercussions. Check it out.

Late Night's Jimmy Fallon also got in on the action with this gag: "There's a new book out called Why Women Have Sex that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And folks, Letterman knows the top 10."

We're guessing that next week is gonna be tough for Letterman, too.

Accepting a lifetime achievement award may have just become the blunder of a lifetime for director Roman Polanski. Or at least one of the blunders of his lifetime.

Upon arriving in Switzland on his way to receive a film award at the Zurich Film Festival, the 76-year-old director was taken into custody by Swiss authorities on a U.S. warrant related to his statutory rape conviction more 30 years ago. According to People online and other reports, Swiss police are holding Polanski for extradition to the U.S.

Swiss authorities say they will not release Polanski, a French citizen, until the extradition process is complete, including a possible appeal by Polanski in Swiss courts. The director of films such as Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby (and a 2003 Oscar winner for The Pianist), Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 before his sentencing was complete for the crime of having sex with a 13-year-old girl in California.
