I caught this trailer before the "New Moon" midnight screening Thursday night (yes, I was one of those people) and right off the bat, my heart stopped at a sight that can be summed up in three simple words: Gael García Bernal

So, needless to say, "Letters to Juliet" caught my attention at first sight. Add to the fact Amanda Seyfried is the film's leading lady (a young actress who is shaping up to be the next big thing between this and "Dear John") and I'm in.

The big problem with the "Letters to Juliet" trailer is it falls into the popular trend of giving away the entire film in two and a half minutes. It's hard to even say that the brief synopsis I'm about to give is a spoiler, considering it's something I figured out from watching the trailer the first time.

What can die-hard "New Moon" fans do after they've finished watching the movie for oh…lets say the 10th time in a row? Look forward to the next one of course! Stars from "New Moon" recently revealed their favorite scenes from the upcoming "Eclipse" to MTV News.

So what can fans look forward to? Well for one, they can expect to learn a lot more of the Cullens. Nikki Reed said that "Eclipse" will delve into her character Rosalie's tragic backstory with a sequence from the 1930s. "I think they want to see the Cullens' history. It gives me the opportunity to explain myself," said Nikki.

Zac Efron is far from new to the big screen. But that doesn’t mean that the Disney star, who no doubt left countless girls swooning with his portrayal of a sweet and sensitive basketball player in the "High School Musical" franchise, doesn't get nervous. Zac, who is starring in "Me and Orson Welles" (out in limited release this week), about a young man's start in Broadway, recently admitted to MTV News that he still gets jittery before going on camera.

"I definitely get stage fright," he said (as if he wasn't already endearing enough!). "That's part of the fun. That's what makes it interesting. It's sort of addicting, that feeling. You know you're alive."

FROM MTV.COM: (Written by James Montgomery) I should probably get this out of the way right at the top: I am not exactly a "Twilight" fan. I have never read a page of Stephenie Meyer's bloodsucking series, I can't tell you where the series takes place, or who Esme Cullen is, or why Taylor Lautner never wears a shirt (and yes, I just had to go to Wikipedia to learn that Lautner's character isn't even a vampire).

But on Monday, I went to see "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" to determine whether or not the film — which earned some $140 million in its opening weekend — is actually the most emo thing ever created.

If you're young, cute and star in a hit movie alongside another young, cute actor, you best be prepared to deny some serious romance rumors (and we're not just looking at you Kristen and Rob). "Camp Rock" costars Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas understand Robsten's plight (they even have their own portmanteau, Jemi) and much like the "Twilight" duo have denied dating, with Demi even taking to her Twitter to shoot-down the gossip.

Whatever their real-life dating status, the two will be getting cozy in their upcoming sequel "Camp Rock: Final Jam" when it debuts on the Disney Channel next year. When we caught up with Demi on the red carpet at this weekend's American Music Awards we had to know one thing: Do the two finally share a steamy onscreen liplock?

Our trip down memory lane with "New Moon" costume designer Tish Monaghan continues today when we take a sartorial magnifying glass to the wardrobes of the Cullen family and boy wonder Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Don't miss yesterday's look at Edward's and Bella's costumes either!

THE ENRICHED CULLENS
We know those Cullens are basically perfect, but one modification was made to the family’s closet for "New Moon." "Chris wanted to stay away from them looking as pastel as they did in the first film," Tish explained. “He thought they stood out too much. So he wanted them more of the world, but set apart within the color palette — so, just in cool colors.” Here, Alice (Ashley Greene, left) wears a blue dress by Rebecca Taylor and Rosalie (Nikki Reed, right) wears an Eli Tahari design.

The release of the new Vanessa-Hudgens-starring flick "Beastly" is more than eight months away, but we learned from Summit Entertainment that its never too early to start advertising your sure-to-be-a-teen-hit. This week, the 21 second (actually, more like 16 second!) teaser trailer hit the Internet, but we're not so sure how we feel about it yet.

"This is my story," Alex Pettyfer says in his voiceover, "and this is my curse. Who am I? I'm you. Your ugliness, inside out."

"Twilight" fans should thank the Summit gods for hiring faithful adapter Melissa Rosenberg to pen all four (five?) "Twilight Saga" scripts, because if "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien ever got his hands on them, Edward and Jacob's duel for Bella would end very differently than Stephenie Meyer intended.

In honor of "New Moon" star Taylor Lautner's visit, Conan resurrected his sullen vampire assistant Cody Devereaux, whom you may remember from Kristen Stewart's appearance last week. In the gag, Cody declares that he cannot — wait for it — share Conan with his other assistant, Wolf Boy. "I can't share you Mr. O'Brien. It hurts too much. You have to chose one of us," he implored. How to solve the vampire-host-wolf triangle? Why, bring out Jerry Springer, of course. And in case you missed it, Jerry revealed his true vampire nature, melting in the sun moments later. If only Bella, Edward and Jacob had gone on a daytime talk show their problems could have been solved in like book two. Anyway, on to what you really came here for: What did Taylor have to say?!?

If the 30-minute "New Moon" run time didn't meet your necessary Bella, Jacob and/or Edward face time quota, well, stay tuned. When we caught up recently with sequel director Chris Weitz he assured us there will be plenty more to sink our teeth into when the flick comes out on DVD next year.

"There will be probably about 20 minutes of deleted material," Chris explained. "It really is good stuff and a bonus for the fans." What sort of "good stuff," Chris did not elaborate on, but MTV News is aware of several scenes that did not make the final cut that would make perfect fodder for a DVD bonus reel. They include ...

In the long awaited countdown to "New Moon," we've brought you just about everything you've ever wanted to know about the franchise, its stars and their (maybe) love lives. Now that you've seen the big sequel (and caused it to break box office records), we bet your head is swimming with even more "I need to know this NOW!" questions — especially ones about your favorite character's style in the movie. That's where we come in.

We knew how much you loved Edward's grey pea coat in "Twilight" (it was a custom design). And we bet you already own a version Bella's blue hooded jacket (made by BB Dakota) — but with "New Moon" comes a whole new shopping list. So, starting today, we'll look back at the making of the movie's wardrobe with costume designer Tish Monaghan. First up: Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart).

BEGINNING THE PROCESS
“There was already a particular look in place, so the first thing I did was find out from the studio and the director, Chris Weitz, if they were happy with the looks of the characters,” recalled costume designer Tish Monaghan. “Were there things they wanted changed? Once I got those instructions — there were only minor adjustments to be made.” Bella's presentation from “Twilight” was kept consistent. “[The studio and Chris] liked that she was a tomboy and that she was in earth tones and was a little bit out of place. So I picked up on all of those comments, and when I did all of my purchasing for her, I stayed more or less in that world unless there was something specific that was required in the script.”
