Shakira is no actress, but maybe it's time for her to become one.

She and her hips are wanted over at ABC's new hit comedy Modern Family.

"I'm trying to convince her to act," M.F. star and resident MILF Sofia Vergara told me at the American Music Awards. "Hopefully, she'll say yes."

Vergara liked our suggestion that...

Selena Gomez wants you to know that she never said she doesn't like Twilight.

The Disney darling has been getting a lot of flack from Twi-hards because they're feeling like she dissed the world's most talked-about vampire franchise when she told Bonnie Hunt last week that she hasn't actually seen Twilight.

"All I said was that I didn't watch it and I felt bad for not watching it," Selena explained to me at yesterday's American Music Awards. "But of course, now it's like, 'I don't like it.' That's not the case."

And Selena is brave enough to admit that—gasp!—she hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twi-novels, either. "I feel bad," she said. "And I'm sorry if I offended anyone for that."

Selena certainly wasn't the only one talking Twilight and New Moon at the AMAs. Read on for more…

The thought of Robert Pattinson getting hurt is just too much too bear, isn't it?

But that's exactly what could have happened if anything had gone wrong during his and Daniel Cudmore's big, violent fight scene in New Moon.

Cudmore, the Tom Brady-esque hunkster who plays Volturi vampire Felix, said some of the stunts got a little too close for comfort when he and Pattinson went at it.

"Because of my contacts, my peripheral vision was off, so there were a couple of times where I thought I was going to really hit him," Cudmore recalled at the New Moon premiere in L.A. "Luckily, I didn't."

Maybe that's why Pattinson seemed a bit nervous when they first began working on the scene...

Tom Ford's got another movie up his always fashionable sleeve.

But right now, he's still all about his upcoming Oscar-buzzing directorial debut, A Single Man.

"I have something I'm working on but I'm not ready to talk about it," Ford told me at the GQ Men of the Year party. "I just finished [A Single Man] in August and then we went to Toronto, Venice, Tokyo and London promoting it and my head is spinning. Maybe six months after we're finished with all this I'll be able to figure out what I want to do next."

Definitely not on the agenda? Reviving his attempts at an acting career.

"You know, I used to act when I was younger, but I quit," Ford, 48, explains. "I did it from about 17 to 24. I was too self-conscious. I didn't like it. I wasn't in control."

Spoken like a true director.

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...

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...

Glee's Mark Salling may have wanted to perform in this year's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC, but he's also sorta happy that NBC decided to ban the musical television show from the annual festivities.

"I'm gonna watch it," says Salling, who plays football stud Puck. "I got no hard feelings. But I'll catch it from home in Dallas, Texas, with family, which was allowed to happen by NBC not inviting us. So I am not complaining. Thank you, NBC!"

Lea Michele, who stars on the show as Rachel Berry, also insists she'll tune in...

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...
