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?

Do you think the New Moon kids are actually going to have careers after all the Twilight drama dies down? Or be taken seriously?

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...
Miley Cyrus, Like, Totally Hates Twilight!
Vampires and werewolves aren't for everyone (yeah, right!). Just ask Miley Cyrus.
She thinks Twilight is bad news!
"I've never seen it and nor will I ever," she tells Ohio's Q92-FM backstage at a concert. "It's a cult. I don't believe in it."
And she wishes you all would choose between Team Miley and Team Hannah Montana rather than worry about Team Edward and Team Jacob. Or at least buy more of her T-shirts.
"I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires. I don't like any of the stuff. I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it."
Like, she's, like, really anti-New Moon and the gang. Like, really.
"And like, it's just, I feel it's like seriously it's like people get like really into it, And maybe it's 'cause I'm like people always like fall in love with the characters, I don't know. It makes me not like, I don't know. I'm not into it," she says.
"But I feel really lame cause everyone's like so excited and I'm like not gonna talk about it."
You said it. We didn't.

Turn your head if you want, Miley, but here's New Moon Rising!
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...
Taylor Lautner Shows Off in Exclusive New Moon Clip
To Twilight fans, a football pass has never carried more weight.
Doing his part to satisfy The Jay Leno Show's "Earn Your Plug" gimmick, Taylor Lautner completed a long pass to NFL great Jerry Rice—and then Leno agreed to airing an "exclusive clip" from New Moon, timed to coincide with the film's red carpet premiere.
Finally, a preview in which Edward is nowhere to be seen! (And, what it may lack in substance, it more than makes up for in abdominal fortitude.)
Even Kristen Stewart's relentlessly somber Bella is taken aback by the six-pack Jacob is sporting as he springs, shirtless, into her room to apologize for an earlier misunderstanding and mysteriously inquire, "Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone?"
We think it has something to do with his being a werewolf.
Live Right Now! Twilight Saga: New Moon Premiere
Everything else was just a warm-up. The mall tour, the magazines, the gossip—all of it just the opening act for this: the Los Angeles premiere of New Moon.
The entire Twilight gang—Robert Pattinson! Kristen Stewart! Taylor Lautner! Some other kids!—is storming Westwood village tonight, where fans have been camping all day.
Our own Marc Malkin and Ted Casablanca are covering live on Twitter, so follow them for cast interviews and more. And catch the live video (via MySpace) above.

Jessica Biel Can't Pick Between Team Edward and Team Jacob
OMG, Jessica Biel hasn't seen Twilight!
The actress hit up the premiere of her new movie Planet 51 on Saturday—right around the corner from where fans were camped out for tonight's New Moon premiere.
But Jess confessed she hasn't caught onto the craze just yet.
"I haven't seen any of them," she admitted. "I'm so behind the times! I'm embarrassed to say that."
So even though she hasn't seen the movie, she must know who Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are, right?
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…
