After last night's play-by-play of the "New Moon" premiere in LA (The dresses! The signs! The Pattinson!) we wanted to see how the stars felt after all the premiere madness on Twitter. Jamie Campbell Bower posted on his page, "Wow. Utterly amazing last night was. Thank you to everyone who camped out, showed their support or was there in spirit. Love you. x" and Edi Gathegi (pictured, left) wrote, "Thank you everyone! Last night was spectacular. Hope we do well this weekend. And hope you love the film!" No need to worry there, Edi, we can pretty much foresee both of those things happening. But, the hardcore fans weren't the only ones getting love from last night's festivities, the film's director Chris Weitz (pictured, right) got props from his stars today. After giving kudos to fans, Gil Birmingham gave love to the man at the helm, "Really amazing movie. Chris Weitz is a master." Ditto Tinsel Korey who tweeted, "By the way... the movie was awesome. Wolf Pack rocks! Mr. Weitz you have made an amazing film. :)"

Of course, we've all got to find something to do to kill time until the movie's release this Friday! Luckily, some new tunes dropped today and we know which albums Taylor Swift will be jamming with, "Two of my favorite boys have albums out today: @johncmayer and @justinbieber. Good luck this week!" Both her boys showed their gratitude via Twitter. Justin Bieber, whose album has been climbing the charts steadily all day, took to his Twitter to thank all his followers, "getting alot of congrats and this is a fairytale type messages. Just wanted 2 say thank u 2 all of u for 2day because u made this dream real," while John Mayer wrote a gracious, "It's here - Battle Studies. Having a quiet afternoon filled with gratitude. Thanks everyone for following along..."

With "New Moon" opening Friday and "Eclipse" due June 2010, it seems about time we cast our gaze forward to "Breaking Dawn." And no, it's not too early. Sure, the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's forth (and for now final) vampire romance has yet to be announced, but that didn't stop us from asking star Taylor Lautner about the "Twilight Saga"'s larger-than-life finale.

"I'm looking forward to the whole pack splitting up, that could be cool," the 19-year-old said, revealing which scene he is most excited to film for "Breaking Dawn." Taylor wasn't quite so sure, however, who should direct the last installment.

With the trailer for Miley Cyrus' Nicholas Sparks-penned movie, "The Last Song," set to debut tonight, the singer/actress is giving fans a sneak peek of it with the release of a few stills from the film.

The photos of her and rumored beau and hater of Twitter, Liam Hemsworth, are pretty hot and heavy. In one, Miley as Veronica "Ronnie" Miller is seen sitting on the beach with Liam's Will Blakelee, sharing a laugh with a baseball bat in her hand. We repeat: she's holding a baseball bat.

If there's one place vampires, werewolves and humans can co-exist peacefully, it's surely the red carpet. Love triangles, team alliances and centuries-old pacts were put aside last night to celebrate the long-awaited premiere of "New Moon" at LA's Westwood village theater. (Did you read our live blog throughout the night?) Though fans lined up for hours to get a glimpse of their favorite "Twilight" stars, we've got a fashion rundown you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home—sans earplugs.

A lot has changed for the Saga's stars since last year's premiere, including their wardrobe. Kristen Stewart eschewed her mini-dress of yore, opting instead for a floor-grazing, gray-stitched gown by Oscar De La Renta. But in signature Kristen-fashion she funked it up by adding a few bangles, smokey eyes and a messy, half up-do. Kristen's onscreen love Robert Pattinson looked every inch the movie star in a black Gucci suit, with a soft yet still-slightly tousled haircut and his token stubble.

The year is coming to a close and it’s that time for magazines to decide who they want to cover their coveted year end issues. And for GQ, Chris Pine was their perfect choice as he poses comfortably with his baby blue eyes complimenting his blue suit on the cover of their December issue. Call it a good stylist or maybe just a coincidence. In the issue, the “Breakout of The Year” actor, talks about growing up, how he got into acting and his hesitating choice to jump on ship for the latest installment of the "Star Trek" franchise.

While you may have seen him in various roles throughout the past years including "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" and "Smokin’ Aces," it’s almost shocking how Chris came into acting. “Basically, I was always looking to find a group of friends, and theater provided that,” he revealed to GQ.

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.

After weeks of interviews and surprise tour appearances, Rihanna, whose new album Rated R hits stores Monday, finally got a chance to cut loose … and we mean really loose. The usually composed starlet got a little silly for the cameras (hmmm we wonder what brought that on...) while partying the night away at Mahiki nightclub in London after a performance at the Nokia X6 launch concert, alongside Jay-Z (who showed up to the afterparty with wifey Beyonce in tow).

The "Rehab" singer, whose been rocking a lot of black lately, shed her dark look for a fiery orange dress and some eye-popping pink liner, and we've got to say, we loved seeing her add some color to her look!

To see party girl Rihanna click on the photo above and check below the jump to see which two surprising "Gossip Girl" characters were caught filming together.

It was all about the Taylor Lautner panties on the late night circuit Monday, as both Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner himself dished about the laughable lingerie in separate talk show appearances.

First up was the always-dapper Taylor sporting a gray suit and skinny tie on "The Jay Leno Show." When asked about his most shocking fan encounter, Taylor had a hard time choosing just one, but settled on this unsettling encounter:

"We were at an autograph signing," he began. "There was a mother who was like in her mid-40s and a little teenage daughter. And the mother, she's getting ready, she's up next, she's like shaking and doing this dance and rubbing her hands, and she's getting all ready. And the daughter, she's just chilling [crosses arms]. And [the event supervisors] go, 'All right, you're up.' The mother skips on up. She goes, 'Excluse me, Taylor.' She grabs, my wrist. 'I'm wearing the Team Taylor panties right now. Is there anyway I can take them off for you and have you sign them quick?' And the daughter goes 'Mom, come on!' "

Could Ryan Reynolds be Hollywood's new go to guy for romantic comedies? Sure seems like it! The "Definitely, Maybe" actor proved his rom com mettle after starring in this year's "The Proposal", alongside Sandra Bullock, which turned out to be the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time (talk about a resume builder). Now, according to Hollywood Wiretap, he's all set to star in "TMI," a movie centered around the idea that while honesty might be the best policy in a relationship, "too much information" usually isn't (yeah... we couldn't agree more!).

"The House Bunny" star Anna Faris is slated to play Ryan's other-half in the flick (which he's executive producing, by the way) and we couldn't be more excited to see the comedic chemistry between the two. Plus, both are newlyweds (him to Scarlett Johansson, and her to Chris Pratt), so we bet they know a thing or too about relationship dynamics.

While all the "New Moon" stars strutted their glory at the L.A. premiere last night, one surprise red carpet appearance was Joan Jett of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts fame. Kristen Stewart will be portraying Joan in the upcoming film "The Runaways" (which also stars Dakota Fanning), and after working with Kristen on the film, Joan couldn't resist coming to the premiere.

"I'd obviously heard about ['Twilight'], but before she was cast as me, I hadn't seen it," Joan told MTV News' Larry Carroll on the red carpet at the "New Moon" L.A. premiere. "Of course, when she was cast as me, I wanted to see the movie, and I've seen everything she's done. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really entertaining, and I'm excited that she was cast as me in 'The Runaways.'"

"Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone?" That's the question on our minds tonight as the LA premiere of "New Moon" gets underway! We'll begin by live-blogging the entire event, giving you the inside scoop on all the big arrivals (say it with us now: OME!), awe-inspiring fashion and inevitable ear-piercing screams that will takeover the red carpet at the Westwood Village theater. So get your refresh buttons ready and join the MTV crew (and "Twilight" maniacs) — including Larry Carroll and Ryan J. Downey — as Hollywood Crush takes you behind the scenes of the most-anticipated movie this year!

11:10 That's a wrap, folks. Thanks for joining us on our journey to the "New Moon"!

11:08 The crowd is chanting "TAYLOR! TAYLOR! TAYLOR!" as the carpet winds to a close.

11:07 Taylor is wearing Calvin Klein. Kristen is wearing Oscar de la Renta.

11:06 Taylor is telling Larry he's "sticking to the diet and trying to get into the gym as much as possible," but it's been hard with everything going on lately.

11:05 Kristen confirmed what Joan told us, by the way, that she is definitely doing her own singing in "The Runaways" movie.

11:04 "We put a lot of hard work into this film, and I'm dying for it to come out!" SO ARE WE TAYLOR!

11:03 Kristen was chattier than usual. What's the best thing about being her? She says she knows she'll never get to experience anything like this (pointing to the fans) no matter what kind of movies she's in. "Definitely this is the coolest thing."

11:01 Kristen is talking to Larry about how great it is to have Taylor here after all the questions about whether he'd return. "I'm so proud of him ... I think he's the most centered of anybody here."

11:00 Here she is! Wait... she's taking pictures with those three sneaky fans!

10:58 A security guard is checking their credentials... again!

10:57 Meanwhile, Taylor is taking pictures with three sneaky young fans who somehow have credentials.

10:57 She was headed our way but then her folks realized she passed E!. She was almost to our platform then redirected with an about-face to our neighbors.

10:56 An excited and hurried publicist just ran over and asked, "Will you guys be ready for Kristen?" HECK YEAH!!!!!

10:52 Kellan just walked by with his arm around a fan wearing a "Nutz For Lutz" t-shirt. Pretty sure he pulled her out of the crowd!

10:51 We can see Kristen! Gorgeously porcelain.

10:48 Yup, It looks like Taylor is getting closer.

10:45 It's quiet at our end of the carpet as we wait for Kristen and Taylor!

10:39 Adam Shankman is telling Larry about his involvement in the movie version of the "Rock Of Ages" musical, which was just announced in the trades.

10:35 Robert is wearing Gucci, by the way. Wherever he is now.

10:33 And he's gone! Dragged away by a publicist as quickly as he arrived.

10:32 What's the best part about being Robert Pattinson? He laughs and thinks for a minute. "I couldn't really tell you," he says with his wide smile. What's the worst part? "You've got to work every single day." Which he hasn't gotten used to.
