Let the (vampire and werewolf) games begin! The on set of "New Moon," as all you Twi-Hards know, is about to take a big giant cliff jump (if you will) into a sea of movie premieres, new clips , new stills, talk show appearances, and so on, as the Nov. 20th release date nears closer and closer. Being one of the requisite sites that covers the "Twilight" franchise to the umpteenth degree (hey, you love it. We love it. It's a win-win), we plan to continue to bring you just about anything and everything we can get our teeth on.

Just today (in European time, folks!), world premiere "New Moon" scenes (and readings from the Stephenie Meyer book) aired at the 4th International Rome Film Festival. There was, of course, a red carpet to go along with this celebration, though don't go grabbing your best Team Edward or Team Jacob apparel just yet, as many main members of the cast didn't make the trip to Rome (perhaps because most are wrapping on the "Eclipse" set in Vancouver?).

The love for “Glee” (don't miss our recap of last night's episode) just keeps pouring in! First, the MLB invite the cast to sing at the World Series, now the mega-talented glee clubbers (and teachers) of the hit Fox show grace the cover of Entertainment Weekly! While Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester), Lea Michele (Rachel), and Cory Monteith (Finn) get the most love (check out more of their sweet pictures from the photo shoot).

So what will you get from the issue (due on stands tomorrow)? Well, an exclusive look into what we can expect for the rest of the season, which is awfully tempting to find out considering we have so many unanswered questions (oh, those scandalous love triangles!) There’s also some great quotes from the cast, who are dealing with their newfound (and growing by the day) fame. The EW story reports, “I was at Disneyland yesterday – big mistake,” says Chris Colfer, who plays gay fashionista Kurt. “I might as well have walked around with a target on my shirt, because those are our fans. I stopped and took pictures probably 40 times in between rides. This one lady got a picture of me on the Tower of Terror and had me sign it.”

When we had the chance to interview Jackson Rathbone last week on the set of his new film, "Girlfriend," we couldn't resist asking him some heavy questions, including (but not limited to) whether "Breaking Dawn" will be released as one film or two.

Now, you may be saying to yourself, isn't "Breaking Dawn" set to be released in 2011? Haven't the two movies that come before it not even be released yet? Shouldn't you be asking questions about, say, "New Moon," which comes out in less than a month?

If you've been keeping track of our Jackson covering on Hollywood Crush and MTV.com over the past week, you'd know we already addressed those questions, but still couldn't resist trying to get a little inside scoop on what could possibly be happening (since we know Melissa Rosenberg is going to be penning the screenplay, so at least the ball is rolling).

Welcome back to Dress Like A Movie Star Week here on Hollywood Crush. We're continuing to bring you Halloween costume ideas inspired by some of the most outrageous, colorful and downright awesome characters on the big screen in 2009. We know your wallets aren't exactly being filled by a money tree in your backyards these days, so we're going to try our darndest to keep these costume ideas easy to create and easy on your bank account! Let the trick and treating begin!

Unless you lived under a rock this summer, you'd know that the surprise hit "The Hangover" is the fourth highest grossing film of the year. No small thanks go to Zach Galifianakis' tubby Alan (pictured below in the middle of Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper), the brother of the bride who's more than a little out there.

Zach Galifianakis has already proved he's a babe in his own right (not really, but this Crusher might be massively crushing on the comedian), and his outfits — or lack thereof — are some of the easiest to recreate for your Halloween costume, mostly because they came from mall stores. Thank you, "Hangover" costume department!

It was the night of a thousand slushie attacks! With Halloween right around the corner, the only thing scaring the kids of McKinley High School was the threat of getting the dreaded slushie facial. No one was safe, not even former A-listers Finn and Quinn. But, F & Q weren’t the only couple facing some unsavory situations. Engaged teachers Ken and Emma can’t decide on a wedding song — Emma wants the classy “I Could Have Danced All Night” from “My Fair Lady” while Ken opts for the slightly less classy “Thong Song” by Sisqo (“I need something I can shake my moneymaker to,” he cried.)

Emma asks Mr. Schuester to make a mash-up of the two songs for the wedding, which, let’s face it is no small task. But that’s hardly the only thing up Will’s sleeve when he busts a move. Literally. Will shows breaks it down for Young MC’s hip-hop classic “Bust a Move.” It wasn’t the only time he rapped in this episode, either (Matthew Morrison certainly channeled his old boy band days with his rendition of “The Thong Song.” We want more!)

Just when we thought we'd had our fair share of hoaxes for the week (or the year, for that matter), Twitter went into hyperdrive today when there was an untrue rumor that Kanye West had died. But, unlike the Bubble Boy mess, most celebs thought the Kanye hoax was no laughing matter. "House" star Omar Epps wrote, "BTW Joking or hoaxing about someone's (anyone not just a celebrity) death isn't at all funny or entertaining!" and Ashley Bell had a similar sentiment, posting, "People need to stop wishing death on people. It aint right!"

Of course, there was some good news in the entertainment world today. One of our favorite new shows of the year, "The Vampire Diaries" (check out the recap for the most recent episode), has been picked up for a whole season. Nina Dobrev (pictured) tweeted, "#theVampireDiaries has officially been picked up for the full season! Here's to continued success and congrats to my castmates! <3 u all!" And the series' co-executive producer Julie Plec told "Vampire" viewers, "Thanks for all the congrats on the back nine, everyone. It's because you watch and love that this happened."

Read below for the best of the rest today in the Twitterverse, from Demi Lovato's love for Kristen Stewart to Spencer Pratt's keen observation about himself. And don't forget to follow us @hollywoodcrush to get all the lastest news on your favorite stars.

Boardgames are fun—when you have ample space, a table, chairs and maybe a bowl of popcorn or a slice of pizza. They are not, however, the ideal amusement when crammed on a jam-packed Subway or on a bumpy bus ride to school—until now. Thanks to the new "Scene It? Twilight" iPhone app, available for $4.99 from the iTunes App Store, Twilighters can satisfy their boardgame craving virtually anywhere.

As a public service to all you Crushers who also call yourselves Twilighters, we downloaded the game last night and took it for a thorough test drive ... Volvo not included. (You can see our in-newsroom "virtual" test drive — thanks to the trusty Nicole Guanlao — by pressing play on the video above.) The app offers two different modes of gameplay. The first is the main "Scene It?" game, a sort of single-player trivia bonanza. My first attempt started off with a clip from the meadow, after which I had to recall the first word that was said in the scene (kind of lame, I'll admit). The game quickly progressed through several different puzzle types including multiple-choice trivia (i.e. What was the name of the bookstore Bella bought the Quileute book at?), video trivia, Who Said This?, in which players have to correctly attribute movie quotes to the correct characters; Gridlock, where players have to remove point tiles from atop an image until they can identify the person, place or thing below; and Baseball Shuffle, a carnival-style game where a ball is placed under one of three rotating hats and you must identify which hat it's under.

So what's the measure of a true Robert Pattinson fan? It's not the number of times you've seen "Twilight," or the number of posters you have gracing your wall. Psshh, that's purely amateur level. No, a real Rob fan would prove their worth by entering our "Rob O' Lantern Contest."

We're challenging you to pull out your artistic skills and carve out Rob's beautiful face onto a pumpkin for Halloween this year. When you're done, send a picture to http://your.mtv.com with the label "Rob O' Lantern Contest." Entries from Rob devotees have already been rolling in, but for those a little late to the game, don't fear, you've still got a a few days left (the deadline is Friday, Oct. 23th!) to carve out the "New Moon" hottie.

We'll be looking closely at all the submissions and share our top three picks the following week. The grand prize winner (aka, the person who will have bragging rights to being the biggest Rob fan ever), will not only get a new copy of Scene It? Twilight, but will also get to write a Hollywood Crush post all about Rob. That's right, your very own post…you can use it to convince everyone why they should love Rob, or perhaps, to convince Rob why he should love you. Now if that's not motivation to start carving...

Trevor Donovan is the quintessential looking surfer dude thanks to his bleach blond hair and studly build. We're thinking this is probably what landed him a role on "90210." And, we're thinking that once they start casting the role of Ken in the forthcoming Barbie movie, he should definitely play the part. Until then, he's our Hump Day Hottie.

Press play on the video below to see more of this week's Hump Day Hottie, and then keep reading for more details about him.

Vital Stats: The 31-year-old (yeah we were surprised about that, too — good thing he can still pass as a high school student!) California native got his start in modeling, where he got used to standing around shirtless and clothesless. He later decided to take up acting lessons to get over his stage fright. “Abercrombie [& Fitch] was my first modeling job,” Trevor told The LA Times. “They definitely border on risqué as far as catalog photos go. There’s a lot of nudity and what not. I have done my fair share of that, and I’ve never done anything I regret whatsoever — the majority of which I’m pretty proud of.”

The dream of many "Twilight" fans is the chance to be in the presence of their favorite films beloved cast members. Well, Twihards, we offer you an opportunity even better: not only to get a chance to see Jasper Hale in real life, but to have control over whether he comes to your town.

"Aint no rest for the wicked," Jackson Rathbone told us in a recent interview on the set of his new indie, "Girlfriend," and he seems to be making that line his mantra. Filming just wrapped over the weekend for "Girlfriend," he has one week left on "Eclipse" and then he is kicking off a 100 city tour with his band 100 Monkeys.

But this isn't going to be your average band tour. Jackson and bandmates Jerad Anderson, Ben Graupner and Ben Johnson have decided to make this tour something special.
