Taylor Lautner sat down with Conan O’Brien on The Tonight Show last night, glowing with the knowledge that New Moon made almost three times its budget in one weekend. After describing a fan riot in Brazil (”there were flexi-cuffs on the doors…[they] just went Pop! Pop! Pop!”), the underage werewolf broke down the three types of fangirls he encounters while gallivantingacrossthe globe to hawk his vampire movie/money-printing machine. They are as follows:
Screamers: “The most mild fan…usually we do not meet fans who do not scream.”
Criers: “You feel really bad…you want to do something, so you grab their hand or give them a hug, and it just gets worse. Then they are literally on their knees crying.”
Hyperventilators: “You don’t really have to worry that much, because they just pass out. They just *snaps* are gone.”
Wait, what about adult women uncomfortable with Bella’s extreme passivity but can’t stop watching anyway? And those moms who want Taylor to sign their underwear? Maybe they all scream too. As funny as Lautner’s anecdotes were, the highlight of the interview was when Conan revealed the junior athlete can catch grapes in his mouth from a long distance. Watch the feat—along with yet another shirtless clip from New Moon—after the jump.
We’re sure Ashley Greene wasn’t purposely trying to plug starvation as a weight-loss method when asked by reporters about how she stayed skinny for “New Moon.” The poor girl’s barely been in any movies, so she’s a bit, uh, green when it comes to repeating rehearsed lines prepped for her by her publicist. At least that’s what we assume happened when Ash gave this obnoxious comment to Us Magazine. “It was really easy,” said the actress, when asked how she stayed svelte. “We were working 12 hours a day, so it didn’t leave too much time to eat.”
Even more priceless is this observation from the mag: “After her response, her publicist nudged her, but Greene didn’t seem to care about her blunt answer.”
Blunt seems like a very nice way of calling Greene’s answer straight-up stupid, which we’re happy to do even if Us won’t. Regardless of how inexperienced one is with dealing with the press, shouldn’t stars know that providing thinspiration to their tween fans is totally taboo? [Photo: GettyImages]
Well, it’s kinda official: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are indeed a couple! Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has definitely-maybe confirmed their relationship in an interview with Time magazine. She says: “After I cast him, I told Rob, ‘Don’t even think about having a romance with her. She’s under 18. You will be arrested.’”
When pressed about the status of their alleged love affair, Hardwick adds, “I didn’t have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say. But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn’t happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, ‘O.K., I’ve got to give this a go and really try to be with this person.’”
Um, so…there you have it. Kristen straight-up told her that she and Rob are getting that bed head from bedding each other, and hey - they held hands in public! What other proof do we need? Well, okay - a kiss would be nice. [Photo: GettyImages]
Who ever said Twilight was only for Robert Pattinson-obsessed fangirls? The lovely Ashley Greene is this month’s Maxim cover girl, and the sultry star manages to bring a whole lot of sex appeal to her relatively tame photo shoot. Not that we need string bikinis to admire beauty, but it is Maxim. You can check out more pics here, and flip through our giant Ashley Greene photo gallery below.
How much do you love this photo of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart promotingNew Moonin Paris? Rob’s lookin’ all flirty while KStew lays on her best “bitch please” face in response. Or maybe they’re just making fun of director Chris Weitz’s mustard pants (see below for reference).
The pair joined Chris and co-star Taylor Lautner at the photocall, where Kristen continued her streak of fashion wins in this J Mendel dress and stunning heels. Serious swooning going on over here. More pics below. [Photo: GettyImages]
Robert Pattinson may do his best to convince every single girl and woman on the planet that he’s just an average schmo, but it’s so not working. In a(nother) new interview to promote New Moon, Rob claims that “if the fans were to talk to me for five minutes - the illusion would be gone!” Yes, because they would have passed out in a quivering heap and not be able to see their beloved “illusion.”
In the interview with New! magazine, Rob also addresses those rumors and admits he is a bit shy with a bar of soap: “it gets to the point where even I can’t stand the air around me. I don’t know, my personal hygiene - it’s so disgusting!” and that I’m-a-loser-with-ladies thing: “Any girl I’ve wanted to go out with in the past, I’ve lost to someone else.” You can do everything in your power to put us off you Rob, but, hey, everyone can’t get enough of your dull, stinky, hopeless self.

Twilightstar Robert Pattinson has already had the shock of his life, by signing up for a “really small” American film only to turn into the biggest craziest girl-obsession ever - and the poor love now admits he doesn’t know how to cope with the ever-escalating attention. After ‘fessing that he normally “stay[s] in the hotel” when he’s filming because of the teen-girl-and-snapper mob outside, RPattz admits that he’s finding it hard to come to terms with the success.
“It worries me because the whole Twilight thing keeps getting bigger and bigger and now it’s so big that even my own ego can’t cope with it. A certain amount of success you can mentally deal with, but there’s a point where you think, ‘Jesus Christ, what is this? I’m not that great!’” he told the Sunday Times magazine. But with vamp-freaks the world over drooling in anticipation of the New Moonrelease next week, Rob’s going to have to find some more space in that ego for further global craziness…[Photo: WENN]
If you look at photos of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, it’s kinda easy to tell they’re together. They spend every second givin’ each other they bone eye, ya know? But people are still hungry for some sort of confirmation from the couple (even though this recent Harper’s Bazaar interview all but confirms it), and so poor lil’ Kristen gets asked about her relash status a lot. Constantly. Daily.
So when Entertainment Weekly sat down with the mulleted Twilight star and asked if she’s currently petting Robert Pattinson, she kinda went off in that sassy way only a 19-year-old can pull off. And you know what - we totally love her for it. In Kristen Stewart’s words:
“I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it. But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f—ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child? I’ve thought about this a lot. There’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: ‘Okay, we are. We aren’t. I’m a lesbian.’ I’m just trying to keep something. If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I’d be like ‘F— off!’”
So there you have it, Twi-hards. She ain’t gonna ever reveal if she and Rob run their fingers through each others’ greasy hair, and you better believe Rob ain’t either. Apparently he tried to give a polite answer to EW’s question and his fiery little co-star cut him off to continue her rant. Now that’s how we like our starlets: sassy and with something to say.

New Twilight photos of Robert Pattinson andKristen Stewart from the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar have just leaked on the web, rendering Twi-hards unable to work, speak, eat or breath. All they can do is gasp and squeal (and Twitter about said gasps and squeals) over the 47+ pics of their beloved Bella and Edward, groping each other in Prada couture. Even if you loathe everything about vamp mania, you can’t deny that these pictures are about as stunning and sextastic as they come.
