Rolling Stone

Just when we thought it was safe to check out the newsstand and not have to see any more New Moon covers, Rolling Stone releases their special edition Taylor Lautner wet T-shirt contest issue.

Great timing, Rolling Stone. While some may still appreciate Taylor's striptease show, the rest of us already saw the goods plenty this past weekend. We've also reset our Twilight Countdown clocks and can't be bothered with any more New Moon promotion, especially when the interview is all about the gym and how boring Taylor is.

From now on, it's all Eclipse, all the time. See you in seven months, Tay-Tay! By then you'll even be of age, which will make this whole operation you got going on completely legal.

All right, so we all saw New Moon at least twice this past weekend, right? (If only we had all seen it three times...) And it was pretty awesome or fun or terrible or whatever depending on your fandom level!

But it's really time we move on and reset our Twilight countdown for Eclipse. Today makes it about seven months and a week until our favorite gang of moody teenagers bring their tortured love triangle back to the big screen.

For now, all we've got is this new Eclipse poster, which hints that the third installment will be pretty cloudy. Ahhhhh! Cannot wait!

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!)

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:

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...

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?

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!

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.
