When you attain the kind of world-wide fame "Twilight" young stars are experiencing, you start to hear a lot of weird rumors about yourself—including ones that are physically impossible. When MTV News caught up with star Robert Pattinson at a Beverly Hills press event (we'll be rolling out tons from it in the coming week, so stay tuned!!), the 23-year-old detailed the craziest tidbit he recently stumbled upon while googling himself.
"I like the story about me being pregnant," the British heartthrob said with a laugh. "It was in some Australian magazine, on the front page! I was like, 'Wow, that's just [insane]. And it's not even ironic. I don't even think the article [tried to justify it]; it was just a headline. The article was just like, nothing."

"Twilight" stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson share a lot, from magazine covers and taste in music (Kings of Leon, anyone?) to a romance (if the tabs are to be believed). But in behind-the-scenes footage from the set of "New Moon," Kristen divulged something else the pair has in common: a similar acting style.
"We're both pretty instinctual, impulsive actors," she explained. "We don't really hash things over, over and over because we both know our characters very well."

As if we needed another reason to envy Mario Lopez (c'mon, the guy starred on "Saved By The Bell" and once rocked a mullet for crying out loud!), now the "Extra" host tells us about his close encounters with our "Twilight" boys. Mario bragged, "People always tell me Taylor Lautner could be my little brother.. Wonder if he hears the same thing.. Interviewing him later today." He also tweeted, "On my way to interview the cast of Twilight New Moon. Met Robert Pattinson at the MTV Awards, real nice guy.." Ok, Mario, now you're just rubbing it in. What do you think, can you see the Lopez/Lautner resemblance?
One person that we're not as jealous of today (though we're ALWAYS envious of his costars) is "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder. The hottie confessed to an embarassing blunder via his Twitter today, posting, "Go into the bathroom, use it and forget to press END on my iPhone 2 1/2 minutes later I figure that out.Akward for me..." Speaking of telephone mishaps, it seems "Glee" actor Chris Colfer has been getting some unwelcome calls of his own. Chris announced, "Dear Los Angeles High School, I do not have a daughter, please stop calling me when she misses class. Dear LAHS student, GO TO SCHOOL!"
Keep reading below for more of today's best celeb tweets, including Jodelle Ferland's "New Moon" artwork (impressive!) and Jenna Dewan's thoughts on the new "Christmas Carol" (we were wondering the same thing, Jenna!).

As if Russell Brand mentioning Katy Perry's name while talking about monogamy in a recent interview wasn't enough proof that these two are comfortable with going public with their relationship, it seems that Katy donned some choice Russell gear at the MTV Europe Music Awards on Thursday putting her affections for him of full display.
At the show, Katy wore a very sexy little outfit showing pride for West Ham United soccer team, which just happens to be Russell's favorite soccer team. And, she took it to the next level by rocking "Rusty" on the seat of her pants. Rusty happens to be Russell Brand's nickname.

Seriously, we weren't kidding earlier when we said we can't keep up with all the delectable photos coming our way! Moments ago we received a brand new crop of "New Moon" photos from Summit, and while we can't help but think, "Uh, are there actually moments we haven't yet seen?" (you know, with all the stills previously released before these), we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves digging into a ton of new goodies.
For instance: The Cullen clan looking quite pretty (especially Esme)! Bella's school buddies paling around! The Wolf Pack .... with shirts on! (OK fine, that last one didn't really deserve the exclamation point, but still...) Chris Weitz peeking into a video camera! Oh my!
Click on the photo below to see them all, and check back with us throughout the weekend for all things "Twilight"!

Greetings Gleeks and members of the Whedonverse! We're betting that since the news broke that Joss Whedon would be heading over to McKinley High School to direct an episode of "Glee," you haven't been able to contain your sci-fi/musical excitement.
Apparently, neither has the man himself. "I talked to him a bunch [at a party], he's really excited," noted Cory Monteith (who plays heartthrob Finn) during a "Glee" club fieldtrip to the MTV offices. "He's a big fan of the show — and [we spoke] before it actually came out that he was going to direct. He spoke to us, the cast, for an hour at this party."

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
The Britannia Awards (a ceremony hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) got some "Millionaire" love last night in the form of sweethearts Dev Patel and Freida Pinto . The duo, who we recently learned — thanks to Dev's "The Last Airbender" costar, Aasif Mandvi — are now "pretty much out in the open" about their romance, were on hand (along with fellow "Slumdog Millionaire" actor Anil Kapoor) to applaud director Danny Boyle. Danny can add his John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence in Directing to the massive "Slumdog" collection, which includes eight Oscars, seven BAFTAs and four Golden Globes.
Click on the photo above to check out the couple's red carpet look (Freida, as usual, looked dressed to perfection in a flirty Valentino dress), and don't miss the rest of the celebs we Spotted!, including Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts bike riding and Blake Lively leaving the Four Seasons hotel in a long gown.
You know the phase of a "New Moon" has officially begun when the cast starts making so many appearances that we can't keep up with all the delectable photos coming our way! Today, Larry Carroll is speaking to all of your favorites (keep checking back with us all day for updates!), and later he'll also be attending the kick off of the Hot Topic Cast Tour at Hollywood & Highland (again, MTV News will be your source for on-the-scene reports!).
But ... before all that madness gets underway, a few of the clan (a.k.a. some wolves, a human and a vampire) got together last night to launch the Nordstrom version of the "New Moon" cast tour (check out the rest of Nordstrom's stops here) in Canoga Park, California. So click on the photo below to see our entire gallery of Edi Gathegi, Christian Serratos, Alex Meraz, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon hamming it up. We especially love the way Edi looks to be clawing at Christian's face. Cute.
I can't be the only Twilighter who's experienced this: A year and a half after telling everyone about my new obsession, friends and family are just now coming up to me and asking, "Have you read 'Twilight'?" Welcome back to the world, cave-dwellers. I'll forgive them for not listening to me the first time, but now that they've all caught Cullen fever, maybe they'll pay attention to my other recommendations. After "New Moon" comes out this month, we're all going to be serious V-juice withdrawal. So, I'm going to stock the Book Report with plenty of bloodsucking novels to feed your addiction for the months to come.
And if, like me, you were constantly frustrated with the fact that, for all her bravery, Bella always had to rely on others to protect her from dangerous vampires, Richelle Mead's "Vampire Academy" is the perfect antidote. In this book and its three sequels, the vampires are the ones who need protecting from the likes of Rose Hathaway. She's a Dhampir, half human and half vampire, in training to be a guardian of full-blooded vampires called Moroi (yeah, all these special terms are annoying at first, but you get used to 'em), who are constantly in danger of being attacked by Strigoi — the evil, undead bloodsuckers along the lines of Dracula (you know, red eyes, kill people, can't go out in sunlight). But when we first meet rebellious Rose, she and her best friend, vampire princess Lissa Dragomir, they've been on the run and living among humans for two years. And though Rose hasn't finished her training, she's got an extra skill that helps her take care of her friend, she can slip inside Lissa's head, seeing what she sees and feeling her emotions.

She's an eccentric pop-star with crazy hair and out of this world style, and while she might not exactly fit into the S and B clique on "Gossip Girl", or even with Brooklynite Vanessa for that matter, we couldn't be more excited about Lady Gaga's appearance on the CW show. That's right, mark your calendars because Gaga is performing on "Gossip Girl" on November 16th! While the cast was initially careful not to reveal too much about the storyline, the singer herself let some details slip during an interview with MTV News. So what can fans expect?
Well to start, they shouldn't expect Gaga's performance on "Gossip Girl," to be anything like other celebrity cameos (I mean it is Gaga after all!). The singer took steps to ensure that her screen time would be unique. "I really sat down with the writers," she said. "I was like, 'Look, I want to do this, and the reason I want to do this is because I am trying to say something that is not mainstream in a mainstream capacity. So, if I can say it on your show, that would be, like, a real coup d'état for me as a performance artist,'" she said, adding that her 17-year-old sister is a huge fan of the show and encouraged her to do it.
