From all the hubbub and scuttlebutt floating around the blogosphere, it sounds as though there will be plenty of titillating tidbits to savor in the upcoming "Breaking Dawn - Part 1"—in addition to that one scene no one can stop talking about. For instance, we hear there are Volturi to be found buried within the credits and a moment in which Ashley Greene flips for Jackson Rathbone.
Yep, you read that right. Apparently, Alice and Jasper cut quite the rug at Bella and Edward's wedding reception—a trick that required more than a little mettle from Ashley.
"We had to get a new Ashley Greene," Jackson joked when MTV News' Josh Horowitz asked about the acrobatic feat. "Luckily we had the parts to repair her."

You'd think everything would be sunshine and rainbows behind the scenes of "The Twilight Saga," considering the franchise's undeniable success and the obvious chemistry shared by the actors on the big screen. But star Nikki Reed, who plays vampiress Rosalie, keeps it real in the December issue of Seventeen, unveiling the dramz that sometimes goes on when the cameras are off, while also clearing up some misconceptions about herself.
"In the beginning, it was innocent and fun, and we were like one big happy family—it was like being at sleepaway camp. And then success comes along and changes the dynamic,” the newly wed revealed. "We’re not all best friends, and we’re not all going to hang out together after the final movie is done."

"The Secret" is soooo 2009, but this little tidbit of cinematic news has us wondering if there might be something to it. Check it out: Awhile back, author Ransom Riggs put it out into the universe—in an interview right here on Hollywood Crush, no less!—that of all the possible auteurs in the world, he'd love it more than anything if Tim Burton signed on to direct the movie adaptation of his book: "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." And behold, only a few short months later, the universe has answered!
And by "the universe" we mean "Deadline," and by "answered" we mean "HOLYOMG TIM BURTON REALLY IS IN TALKS TO DIRECT MISS PEREGRINE'S."

Lauren Conrad split from boyfriend Kyle Howard back in June, and for the former "Hills" star, it seems the best way to mend a broken heart is by jumping right back on the dating bandwagon. And, if all the rumors are true, LC has been jumping...a lot. And most recently with a "Glee" star?
Let's start earlier this year. LC first made headlines over the summer, when she was spotted with "Teen Wolf" star Colton Haynes. Colton shrugged off the rumors that anything romantic was brewing between the two, telling Ryan Seacrest, "I've known Lauren for about four-and-a-half years now. We're really good friends."

When we caught up with Stephenie Meyer at the big world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," it was a no-brainer to ask her how she feels about seeing the final chapter of her vampire saga come to life on the big screen. But since Stephenie was a producer on "Breaking Dawn," in addition to having penned the source material, it's also no surprise that the author seems just a little bit fatigued by the whole "Twilight" thing at the moment.
"It's a really grueling thing, being on a movie set every day," she said, going on to explain that she's been pretty much eating, sleeping and breathing "Twilight" for months on end.
But after the requisite discussion of the wedding, the honeymoon, and, of course, that particular scene in which Edward destroys the furniture in a sexual fugue state, MTV News' Josh Horowitz was able to move on to some fresher material—or as Stephenie puts it, "cleanse the palate" of vampire-related chitchat. And the next topic on tap? The upcoming movie adaptation of "The Host"!

Author Kenneth Oppel earned a heap of praise (not to mention a movie deal with "Twilight" studio Summit Entertainment) for his 2011 "Frankenstein" prequel, "This Dark Endeavor," a dark and dreamy tale following young Victor Frankenstein on his quest to save sick twin brother Konrad. Come August 2012, Kenneth will continue his "Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein" series with "Such Wicked Intent," and we have your first look at the cover!

We'll start with the bad news: Robert Pattinson did not, in fact, give a real-life demonstration of his headboard-breaking capabilities on the black carpet of last night's big premiere for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." (So much for getting a real-life recreation of the trailer's most titillating scene.) But apart from that? The star-studded premiere was a crazy-fabulous evening—with appearances by every member of the Cullen family, the whole entire wolfpack and (of course!) the big trifecta of stars who define the "Twilight" series.
The long-running "Twilight" media tour has seen some scruffy showings from its stars (we're looking at you, RPattz—or, more specifically, your chin), but one look at the photos from the evening shows that Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner pulled out all the stops last night for the big world premiere. Kristen was glammed to the gills in a floor-length gown with a slit up to there (although she did trade her sky-high heels for sneakers by the end of the night). Rob and Taylor sported sexy, shiny, almost-sorta-matching suits with skinny ties. And between their haute-couture getups, poised interviews, and plenty of posing with fans, the whole event was so polished that you could look at these photos and almost forget that we were primarily there to talk about headboard-shattering vampire sex.
ALMOST.

The first full-length "Hunger Games" trailer set the internet ablaze this morning, and you better believe we'll be talking about it for days to come. With first looks at Peeta, Effie, Haymitch and Cinna (not to mention The Reaping, The Capitol and tribute training), there's plenty to unpack. First up: We hopped on the Skypes with several experts from around the fandom to get their take on the new clip. And if there was one overarching reaction, it was tears.
"I was crying," Arianna Ruiz from Down With the Capitol admitted. "I've never cried before with a trailer, but it's so emotional, and it's so wonderful to see my favorite book brought to life. And I'm sure it was the same for everyone else as well."
"There were lots of tears," agreed Megan Scott from The Hob.

With the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" just hours away, we'd be remiss in not paying a tiny tribute to the trove of Twilighters who've been camped out in wilderness wares since Thursday, waiting for a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre tonight. Here's looking at you, Tent City!
Click on the image below to flip through our entire gallery of fans in the wild!
To be sure, the assembled masses weren't exactly roughing it. A steady stream of guests descended on the makeshift compounds, including author Stephenie Meyer, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and stars Jackson Rathbone and Peter Facinelli, who even brought breakfast! In between celebrity sightings, campers could hang out at Yahoo's Twi-Fi lounge and even say "I do" to Edward Cullen. Well, sorta. A backdrop of the soon-to-be-infamous wedding scene (complete with cardboard vampire groom) awaited visitors, many of whom took the opportunity to don an ivory dress and take pictures with the bloodsucker. (Don't be too jealous, Bella, we're pretty sure nothing was legal...)
