Finding out legit details about the sequel to "Sex and the City: The Movie" is a feat about as rare as a Manolo Blahnik sale. Sure, we know Miley Cyrus definitely has a cameo (ton of pictures of her were snapped near the set last week), that Samantha will have an encounter with a European architect (played by Max Ryan) and that Charlotte will not have another pooping disaster. But... what about the small-yet-important accessories (if you will) that go along with the film? Such as running time and wardrobe changes?

Enter Kristin Davis (a.k.a. Charlotte, pictured far right), who stopped by MTV News recently to talk about "Couples Retreat," her motherly love for Taylor Lautner and, of course, "Sex"! Reporter Josh Horowitz (as always!) begged the actress for as much juice as he could squeeze out of her, and while she remained as mum as Charlotte does about her sex life, there were a few key nuggets she let slip.

1. "Ulalume: Howling at New Moon"

We're sure your "New Moon"-inspired Halloween costumes are going to be off the charts (especially those of you who decide to take our instructions on how to dress like Jane!), but now we have another way for you to celebrate the holiday "Twilight" style: MTV’s Ulalume Halloween Festival, which premieres on the channel at 9pm ET/PT this Friday (Oct. 30). The one-hour special will showcase performances by Paramore, AFI, Dead By Sunrise and Kid Cudi, along with a host of "Twilight" cast members. Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed will kick-off the show from one of the most-feared haunted houses in the country. Ashley Greene will dish on rumors, while Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner will introduce an exclusive, sneak-peek clip from "New Moon." The clip will be available afterward on MTV.com.

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.

Temperatures rose just a few degrees in the Dominican Republic yesterday as teen heartthrobs the Jonas Brothers dropped into town. Joe, Nick and Kevin hit Santo Domingo as part of their world tour, rocking sunglasses and similar jackets. Nick was in all black, including a black beret and leather jacket, while Kevin wore a white t-shirt, jeans and a brown jacket. Joe mixed it up a bit with a purple sweatshirt, which matched his purple-rimmed Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, worn under a black leather jacket. Needless to say, they all looked good. The trio were all smiles as they waived to their fans.

Click on the the picture to get a closer look … and umm are Kevin and Nick holding hands? After the jump, check out which "New Moon" castmates we found rocking out to U2!

Taylor Lautner has stepped into the spotlight as a passionate young adult star in recent years, but before he stepped into the role of Jacob Black in last year's "Twilight," he was best known for his performance as the title Sharkboy in Robert Rodriguez's 3-D film "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl." Though Taylor still has many more films in the future to bless us with his beefy biceps, we're honoring the 17-year-old actor with a look back through his younger years.

Click the picture below to follow the evolution of Taylor Lautner in pictures! (You'll be surprised at how quickly he looks so little.)

Long before his career as an actor began, the Michigan-native was much better known as an impressive force in the martial arts community. He practiced karate from ages six to 13. At age 11, he ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and at age 12 won the Junior World Championships (if you haven't watched this kick-butt clip already, do it!).

As dastardly Georgina Sparks on The CW series "Gossip Girl," Michelle Trachtenberg is more than happy to spill the Upper East Side's juiciest secrets (watch out if you have a long-lost love child, is all I'm saying!). But in real life, the actress is loathe to dish out any "GG" spoilers, including who will comprise that much-publicized, upcoming threesome, likely one of the most sizzling happenings to hit the teen drama yet.

"Ah, yeah, it's me, myself and I, and we get busy," Michelle joked to MTV News. "It's going to be, like, in split screens. So it's going to be like Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, like, 'What body part is that?' But it's all mine." The 24-year-old would admit, however, that the scene will be "worth waiting for" and will likely feature "at least one boy and one girl..." Thanks for the scoop, Michelle!

Look out fashionistas, the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are coming to another store near you. The duo, who already have two high-end clothing lines, Elizabeth & James and The Row for men, are hitting the mass market with a junior's collection for J.C. Penney.

The line, Olsenboye, which is apparently Mary-Kate and Ashley's ancestral last name (although we're still inclined to think it's Tanner!), will mostly feature casual sportswear and accessories, including tops, dresses, handbags and shoes, priced from $20 to $50.

Paramount is starting its search for a new "Footloose" director today after Kenny Ortega (pictured with Zac Efron) announced he was leaving the project over the weekend.

According to Variety, Kenny's publicity department issued a statement saying, "Coming off the extraordinary project, Michael Jackson's `This is It,' director Kenny Ortega has decided it is premature for him to commit to his next film and will not be moving forward with 'Footloose' as previously reported."

Sources close to the project said there were disagreements between Kenny and Paramount over "tone and budget." The director, who choreographed the "Dirty Dancing" Broadway musical, wanted to make "Footloose" a $30 million film with elaborately-staged musical numbers, which (coming from someone who has seen the musical on stage) seems to be a big screen version of his Broadway vision.

Just as everyone has an opinion, a favorite meal and a nose — albeit a fake one at times — so too does everyone have a birthday... even celebrities. Here at Birthday Bash, it's our mission to salute the fine actors, filmmakers and other Hollywood heroes that are celebrating their special day this week. After all, it's cheaper than mailing a cake!

This week, Ozzy's daughter makes a wish, as does a fan-favorite genre actor and Johnny Depp's former main squeeze.

Kelly Osbourne (October 27): Rocketing from childhood obscurity to super stardom thanks to father Ozzy's transformation from rock legend to reality show celebrity, Kelly Osbourne has been in the public eye for the better part of her adult life — and, I might add, celebrity truly suits her. From branching out with her own music career to several stints as an actress, Kelly has shown all of the promise expected from a member of the eccentric-but-talented Osbourne family.

Normally, sun-fearing vampires wouldn't go near a bright, tropical beach. But for "True Blood" star Stephen Moyer, who plays gentlemanly vampire Bill Compton on the HBO series, the locale was a meaningful setting for his proposal to costar Anna Paquin earlier this year.

"There's a song Bill listens to in the car about a white sandy beach," Stephen told British Glamour magazine in its November issue, reports People . "So we decided to go away for a break — to a white sandy beach — and that's where it happened."
