New Moon Poll: For Fanatics Only
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!)
Rob, Kristen and Taylor's Best Talk Show Moments
Happy New Moon weekend, everyone! We gotta hand it to Rob, Kristen and Taylor, they all worked so hard over the past month to promote their little vampire movie, which culminated last night in a three-way (pre-taped) interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now they can all go back to their normal lives. For Taylor that means pumping iron and practicing back flips all day, while Rob and Kristen lurk around the shadows of Chateau Marmont.
But before we say goodbye to the gang until they resurface for Eclipse this summer, we thought we'd put together our favorite moments from the past week's talk show appearances. (And there were a lot of them—Ellen, Conan, Leno, Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Today, Regis and Kelly.)
Usually they’re met with the same questions: Did you ever expect this to be so big? How is this movie different from the last? OMG, fans are so crazy, right? They scream so much! How did you bulk up to play Jacob Black? Are you dating Kristen? What do you think of your Barbie? Will you throw this football? (Both Taylor and Kristen had to do that, btw.)
Still, there were some fun moments to be had and we've compiled them all right here just in case you fell asleep while Taylor talked about his workout regime for the 13th time.
Let's see what we got:
Week in Review: New Moon Premiere, Oprah's Ending, Palin's Pussyfooting, Project Runway's Winner

Despite the fact that we all knew New Moon was coming and The Oprah Winfrey Show was going sometime soonish, the stars of both made major splashes this week every time they offered up even the weeniest tidbit of information for their adoring fans.
We, on the other hand, have offered up a tidal wave of info from the week gone by. You better dive in and start swimming...
New Moon Spreading Like a Virus...Literally
Kristen Stewart may cook a mean spam, but you don't want to taste her phish.
Internet scammers are taking advantage of Twilight fans and the rise of New Moon with an increased number of viruses, spywear and phishing schemes.
Especially be wary of the "vampire byte" that'll suck out your financial information and install malware on your computer faster than the Volturi can find your carotid.
So how do fanggirls avoid falling prey?
Beating the Crap Out Of Robert Pattinson Edward
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...
Rob Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Private Party for Two
While most of the New Moon cast was at the official afterparty following last night's screening in New York, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart slipped away for some private quality time.
Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli all hit up the postscreening bash held at the Box. Ed Westwick also made a late appearance, with girlfriend Jessica Szohr arriving even later.
But Rob and Kristen were over at Avenue, holding court at a table upstairs with a bodyguard making sure people gave them their privacy—but no such luck.
Rob, trying to go incognito, wore a baseball cap, while Kristen was smoking a cigarette (which is illegal). Unlike the movie, there was no Taylor Lautner around and Kristen only seemed to have eyes for Rob...

Robert Pattinson: All the Rumors Are True
See, you can believe everything you read. At least according to Robert Pattinson, who fessed up to all those relentless rumors about him during an appearance on the Today show Thursday morning.
Nonstop dating? Yep. Romancing a costar? Of course. Engaged? Absolutely. Hit by a cab? Definitely. Drug overdose? Damn straight!
All right, so maybe he was joking when he said yes to that last one. Or to some of them. Or all of them.
"I actually come up with these rumors about myself," Pattinson pointed out.
OK, now we know he's kidding!
Or is he?

Abuse Us Some More, Rob Pattinson!
This is too friggin' funny. While Robert Pattinson taped a segment for the The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing Friday), he asked a fan to strip off her clothes. And she did!
"I was doing a preinterview for this [show], and I immediately regretted saying that," the awkwardly adorable R.Pattz says. "I sound like I'm actually just abusing my position.
"It was after a period of signing 500 signatures, and one of [the fans] just came up. You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything, and I kind of got bored of saying, 'Hey, how are you doing?' And [the fan] said in her 10 seconds, 'What can I do to get your attention?' I was like, 'Um, just take your clothes off.' And she stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security. I never felt more terrible."
This makes us love Rob 10 times more! Perverted, huh? We would start messing with fans, too, after a while. Actually, we're shocked R.Pattz hasn't done it more. He has so much power over these helpless ones! Might as well make it entertaining.

Apparently, you're not really feelin' Johnny Depp.
Based on your numerous comments and clicks on our poll this morning, many of you agree with People's pick for Sexiest Man Alive, but a majority of you would have gone in a different direction.
Well, we hear you loud and clear...and you're not alone.
"I'm a bit surprised," a taken-aback America's Next Top Model judge "Miss J" Alexander told us at the VH1 Save the Music Big Shopping event at the W Hotel Times Square this afternoon.
We read what you had to say about this hot-button issue and tallied your first choices (yeah, we're that scientific from time to time). We're not going to lie—you surprised us.
Your hottest hottie, by a landslide, is...
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...

Do you think the New Moon kids are actually going to have careers after all the Twilight drama dies down? Or be taken seriously?
—Queen of Shoes, via Twitter
Well, because E! Online readers just love reading about how actors are jealous of other actors, or sleeping with other actors, or making little baby actors with other actors, let's do this right.
Let's put this in terms of other actors. Like who among the Twilight stars is really the next Matt Damon, who's the next Drew Barrymore and who's the next Keanu Reeves?
Behold a possible future for each New Mooner...
