Oprah Winfrey will debut the brand-spanking-new trailer for David Slade’s “Eclipse” this afternoon during her talk show, and all of Twilight Nation is on edge. So, what can fans expect to be in the new clip? Well, that seems limited only by your imagination.

Obviously, millions of die-hard fans have poured over every consonant, vowel and punctuation point in Stephenie Meyer’s “Eclipse” novel, so they are very aware of its story elements. However, the footage we’ve seen thus far has focused primarily on the love triangle of the series three big stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

When you’re somebody like Kristen Stewart, every move you make is looked at under a magnifying glass. Whether you’re doing something good or otherwise, you can bet that it will be plastered all over the blogs, tabloids and entertainment shows within hours. Which made it all the more refreshing last week when word spread — from Twitter to paparazzi to news outlets — that KStew was making a rare appearance on the Hollywood party scene, in support of Haiti relief efforts.

Much like “Twilight Saga” costars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, who both participated in George Clooney’s telethon launched days after a massive earthquake rocked the country and killed hundreds of thousands — KStew used her star power to get some help for Haiti. And when we asked her recently about the appearance, she said it was a no-brainer.

When most people think back to their 18th birthday, they remember a time when getting to class before the bell rings and landing on the “Employee of the Month” plaque at their part-time job could be considered great achievements. But as millions of fans know, today is the day Taylor Lautner becomes legal — and he’s got more ambitious plans.

In less than two years, the star with the stunning smile has gone from “Shark Boy” to superstar. Breaking through in “Twilight” and then last year’s “New Moon,” the teenager sometimes known as Jacob Black now has “Valentine’s Day” opening this weekend, at least three major films on the horizon — and at least two of those could become major franchises before he’s even able to have his first sip of alcohol.

For nearly a year now, fans and the media have been speculating on whether Anna Kendrick could become the first “Twilight Saga” star to earn an Oscar nomination. Well, unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, you now know that she earned the Best Supporting recognition on Tuesday, which is huge news to “Twilight” fans.

Now, her costar and fellow Forks High student Michael Welch has reached out to MTV with his reaction — and let’s just say he’s happier than a vegetarian vampire with a freshly-killed deer.

“Human pride!” Michael beamed when we spoke, revealing where Mike Newton's loyalties lie. “Represent!”

It's hard to imagine now, but back when Robert Pattinson first landed the role of Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" movies, many of Stephenie Meyer's most loyal fans were angered by the selection of the relatively unknown actor.

These days, of course, millions adore the man they affectionately call RPattz. In comments sure to raise eyebrows among Twilighters, however, one famous fan recently told us that while she loves the story, she thinks it's far from reality.

"I don't think anyone is Edward in real life," insisted Stephanie Pratt of "The Hills," who is a hardcore "Twilight" fan and admits that she is a fan of Robert himself.

Ever since “Twilight Saga” star Billy Burke told us about the cameo of new wave rocker Peter Murphy in “Eclipse,” fans have been trying to figure out where his Spanish vampire will fit into director David Slade’s movie. So, when we caught up with series screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, we had her shed some light on the dark flashback involving the former Bauhaus frontman.

“That’s cool, I didn’t know he was playing it,” she said of the scene, remembering it in the script but unaware that Peter had been cast in the role. “That’s one of the great things about ‘Eclipse,’ is that Stephenie [Meyer] goes into some of the backstories of ‘How did the wolves come to be?’ and ‘How did Rosalie come to be?’ and ‘How did Jasper come to be?’”

Recently, we had one of the standout supporting stars from the “Twilight” saga #8212; Billy Burke — swing by the MTV studios to discuss his work personifying Bella Swan’s loving-but-clueless dad Charlie. The more you watch “Twilight,” the more you notice what a great impact he was able to make in such a brief amount of time on-screen – and now that I’ve seen “New Moon,” I won’t give anything away while saying that Billy has done it again.

“I don’t worry about stealing scenes,” the veteran actor grinned when we asked him whether the term was insulting at all. “I take that as a compliment — thank you very much, that’s very nice. We can’t think about it in terms of that [while we’re acting]; you’ve got to do what feeds the story, and what’s honest about the character as best as possible. And that’s all I’m looking to do.”

It worked out pretty well for those Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thornton guys. Now, could “Twilight” series star Justin Chon follow in their star-making footsteps and write himself a classic movie role?

Back in the mid-90s, the three stars were struggling actors who’d appeared in a decent number of feature films, but felt like they weren’t being offered the right kinds of roles by Hollywood. Mix in Matt and Ben’s screenplay for “Good Will Hunting,” an Oscar for Best Screenwriting, and the rest is history. Billy Bob Thornton followed a similar path with “Sling Blade.”

When you think of Aly & AJ, one of the last names that might come to mind is Alfred Hitchcock. And when you think of Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly, blood and gore isn’t exactly the order of the day. But next September, all these diverse forces will come together for "The Roomate," a movie a “Single White Female” storyline and hopes to terrify a new generation with a classic scene revolving around two key words: bloody bellybutton.

“I think it’s exciting to be able to continue to do our music, but at the same time branch out into our own acting careers,” explained Aly Michalka recently, proud of not only her and AJ’s new band name (78violet), but also movie careers that recently had Aly shoot “Roommate” with Leighton, Minka and Cam Gigandet. "'Roommate' was super cool to shoot with Leighton and Minka. They were sweet girls, and I had a fun time doing my crazy shower scene.”
