And in case you need a hit, we're sharing our findings after the jump.

Team Edward? Team Jacob? PFFFFT. With "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" finally out in theaters, that debate is officially done (seriously, you guys; they're married, and fun as it's been, we must move on.) But if you're wondering where Kristen Stewart's loyalties lie...well, sorry Edward, but she's clearly TEAM COCO. And after KStew made an appearance on "Conan" last night, we're thinking her allegiance might actually be more dangerous than any vampire romance; one compliment from her, and Conan went positively feral!
But before that happened, Kristen spent some time talking about her current, country-hopping lifestyle, and the difference in celebrity treatment across the pond.

Today's the day! "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is now officially out in theaters, and that means that the most hotly anticipated vampire wedding of the year—nay, of all time!—is happening as we speak. But while we already know an awful lot about Bella's long-awaited walk down the aisle thanks to all the pre-release hype, there are still a few details missing... like, say, what's on the menu for the post-nuptial celebration! And if you've been wondering just what sort of gourmet fare the Swan-Cullen wedding guests will be enjoying after Bella and Edward say "I do," we've got a treat for you: the secret menu for those guests who have certain, um, dietary restrictions.
How'd we get this? Er... let's just say we know somebody in vampire catering. Or maybe we just made it up. But we do have unconfirmed reports from multiple sources that the Denali coven are extremely partial to Twinkies.

Even with the luxury of two expansive films to tell the story of one novel, it's inevitable more than a few frames will end up on the cutting room floor. Such is the case with "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," according to screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. However, when we caught up with the scripter at the film's junket, she assured that even though some bites bit the dust, they'll likely get a second life.
"There's some on the cutting room floor that I suspect will end up on the DVD," she teased.
And just to be clear, Melissa isn't simply referring to bits and bobs; an entire pre-nuptial scene was edited from the finished product.

With their inspired collaboration, "The Future of Us," hitting bookstore shelves November 21, we asked authors Carolyn Mackler and Jay Asher to explain the unique premise of their novel and reflect on how today's decisions shape who we become.
Carolyn: In "The Future of Us," Emma and Josh are two teenagers in 1996 who've lived next door to each other their entire lives. Emma gets a new computer and, even though there's no such thing as online social networking yet, this random thing called Facebook appears on her screen. Emma and Josh are completely baffled, but soon realize her computer is offering a time-warp glimpse of their lives 15 years in the future. They see who they marry, where they work, what they just cooked for dinner and they can even check what kind of adults their friends have become. A lot of what they learn is surprising, and some are absolutely shocking.

Sure, it isn't the zombie apocalypse, but waiting in an hours-long line for your first bite of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" can be a deadly cocktail of boredom, dehydration and anxiety. Since we don't have the eternal patience of Edward Cullen (and we're guessing you don't either), we've put together a checklist of sorts of all the items you should stow in your bag for that querulous queue:
1. First and foremost, you need to keep up your strength. Since you can't actually nosh on Bella and Edward's wedding cake, we suggest bringing the next best (sugar-packed) thing: cupcakes! Even better if they're festooned with those little "Twilight"-themed decorating pick things. Wash down your sweet treats with Bella's newest beverage of choice, blood. Or rather, strawberry soda. (Be sure to pack a Styrofoam cup and straw for authenticity.)

For those of us who sometimes worry that our dance moves are somewhat less than suavely smooth, MTV News' latest interview with Taylor Lautner offers a little bit of sympathetic relief; turns out that just as ordinary citizens sweat their booty-shaking technique before big events like the prom, Taylor was shaking in his booties over his dance scene with Kristen Stewart in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." Especially terrifying: the discovery that his dance included some unexpected choreography.
"I was extremely nervous," he admitted. "Especially when they told us there was going to be lifts and stuff. I was like, are you kidding me? Are we on 'Dancing With the Stars'? No!"

If your well-worn copy of "The Notebook" is beginning to skip, stutter and smoke in your DVD player, may we recommend giving it a bit of a respite in favor of the upcoming romantic drama "The Vow"?
The film stars erstwhile Allie Hamilton Calhoun (a.k.a Rachel McAdams) as Paige, a young woman who loses five years' worth of memories following a catastrophic car accident. And among those missing moments is her entire marriage to husband Leo (played by Channing Tatum). In fact, as far as she can recall, she's still engaged to former fiance Jeremy (played by Scott Speedman), who's pretty damn smug about the whole thing. Now Leo's left with an unenviable task: getting his wife to fall in love with him for a second time. (Of course, it does help that he has Channing Tatum's abs...)

Just in case there weren't enough articles already written about "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" and its bed-breaking sex scene (and really, when it comes to vampire sex, is there ever such a thing as "enough"?), this week's Entertainment Weekly has its own exclusive to add to the mix: an interview with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner about the shredded pillows (we know), the shattered headboard (seen it!) and the fact that the first cut of that hot 'n' heavy scene was actually a whole lot hotter and heavier than a PG-13 rating would allow.
According to Rob, this ultra-sexy interlude did exist somewhere on film before getting cut down into more age-appropriate territory: "There’s a version where it was really intense."

The smoke hasn't even cleared on the first full-length trailer for the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games," but Lionsgate already has a writer in its crosshairs for the follow-up, "Catching Fire."
Deadline is reporting that the studio hopes to reap Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar-winning writer of "Slumdog Millionaire," for the sequel. Apparently director Gary Ross (who will reportedly return for the second installment) was originally planning to work on the script with Suzanne, but post-production on the first movie is keeping him busy.
Simon certainly has some impressive credentials, which in addition to "Slumdog Millionaire" include "127 Hours" and "The Full Monty."
