FROM MTV.COM:The big story this weekend may not only be about how awesome "New Moon" is — there will probably be a lot of talk about Taylor Lautner's new bulked-up physique. Some fans have even said that the muscles are a game-changer, and have switched their allegiances from Team Edward to Team Jacob.
"Amazing! Let me tell you, I think that was probably the best part of the movie — seeing him half-naked the whole time," Stephanie told MTV News after catching a midnight screening of "New Moon" in New York City.
Other fans not only loved the muscles, but also Jacob's new shorter 'do in the movie. "Taylor definitely stole the show," fan Melissa gushed. "This was all about Taylor."

"Twilight" … in animation … with a different ending? Now that’s certainly original. You need to watch this clip that just went live on HowItShouldHaveEnded.com, a site that pokes fun at "questionable" movie endings by morphing them into a whole new storyline. The short starts off at the end of "Twilight" where Bella has been bitten and mangled by evil vampire James. She is dying, or well, uh, "turning into a vampire." All the Cullens are shown coupled around Bella in a reenactment, and it's more of a laughingstock than anything else.
The new ending has Bella turning into a bloodsucker after Edward ponders for a moment being with an old grandma while he still has the appearance of a young 17-year-old. Alice jokes she can see into the future and sees Jacob getting bigger with washboard abs, stealing Bella from Edward. With jokes from all the Cullen members, it’s very comical and makes light of one of the movie franchises that has just about everyone talking this week. (Two words: "New Moon.")
HISHE, which recently partnered with Starz Digital Media, was launched in 2005 after the terrible ending of the "Flight of the Phoenix" remake coerced a few creative minds to redo the finale. Now, millions of streams later, we think it's about time they mocked the beloved vampire franchise!
What did you guys think of the clip?

Uma Thurman is set to star in the upcoming flick with Robert Pattinson ,"Bel Ami.," according to The Hollywood Reporter. In what seems like a unique pairing, the story is set in the 1890’s centering on George Duroy (Robert), a struggling journalist who came from rags to riches to be one of the most successful men in Paris. Uma Thurman takes her place as the wife of Duroy’s friend. She helps George along his journey to success and later backstabs his friend and marries Duroy. Ouch.
We previously reported that Nicole Kidman was signed on for the part, but then we learned that wasn't the case. Sorry Crushers, we can’t always get it right! Nicole, however was in the running at one point, as she recently told MTV News, "I was [in talks for it], and we couldn't work out the dates."

Lauren Conrad might not be the center focus of “The Hills” anymore but her career as a writer is just about to propel. She's written two books — the New York Times Best Seller, “L.A. Candy” and the upcoming, "Sweet Little Lies: An L.A. Candy Novel," which will be released in February — and, according to People, will now be penning another.
While her first two books were fiction-based, Lauren is about to bring some “reality” to something else besides the small screen. She'll be spilling her unique style tips in the guide, “Lauren Conrad Style.” The book, which will be published by Harper Collins next fall, will also include exclusives shots of the ex-"Hills" star and her own personal advice on how to infuse her fashionable traits into every day life.

When Kate Hudson isn’t busy being a mom, making musicals (she'll next be starring in the anticipated musical ensemble, "Nine") or melting hearts in romantic comedies, she is spending her down time canoodling with Yankees all-star Alex Rodriguez. The Hollywood A-Lister has been dating the baseballer for about five months now, and supposedly her lazy mornings are rumored to be spent in the presence of "A-Rod the Centaur" (uh...what?!).
US Weekly recently reported that the infamous baseball player has two portraits of himself as half-man, half-human hanging in his home. When confronted about the bizarre rumors by MTV News' Josh Horowitz, Kate laughed and said she refused to “indulge in those types of stories.” While she admitted that it was the craziest question anyone had ever asked her, Kate made it clear that “as funny as you might think they are,” she would not take any part in confirming or denying silly rumors.
So the question still remains. Does the manly and talented Yankee have pictures of himself as a centaur? The world may never know.

When you think of the Kardashian sisters, there Armenian heritage might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But with the introduction of their newest project, a jewelry line based on the cultures surrounding their country of origin, it becomes clear how important this heritage is to the trio. Khloe, Kim and Kourtney have teamed up with Virgins Saints & Angels for an accessories line coming out in the spring of 2010. This Armenian-inspired line will include earrings, rings and necklaces with a price range of $50-$600. Virgins Saints & Angels are known for their common use of classic gods, goddesses, gypsies, angels, Hamsas, hearts and their signature design the "San Benito." The jewelry also comes in sterling silver or 18kt gold giving it a trendy, but timeless look.
The Kardashian girls are not new to the idea of branding a line and using their own personal style to appeal to a consumer America. Their store D-A-S-H, a boutique chain, is doing well, and was even featured before as “boutique of the week” on miami.com. On top of that, Kim has ambition to mix her own perfume like many of her celebrity acquaintances. Kim has even hired a local designer to design the perfect bottle for her perfume, to give it the exact Kim Kardashian look she is going for (if you'll recall, her scent — we mean, perfume — caused quite a stir on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" when Khloe and Kourtney disapproved of the name).

People magazine has just named Johnny Depp as “The Sexiest Man Alive” meaning the 46-year-old has once again beaten out a whole list of “20-something”-year-old actors/singers/models proving to the whole world that his Jack Sparrow-like charm is not doing anywhere soon. The father of two is a veteran of the award already, having won in 2003. The only other people to ever have won twice have been Brad Pitt and George Clooney, so we think it’s safe to say they belong to a very elite group (we also think it's safe to get the word out there that we want to see of them star in a movie together!).
Basically everything besides Johnny's straight forward charisma is alternative, making him one of the most interesting characters in Hollywood, on top of being the sexiest. His upcoming collaboration with favored director Tim Burton will be reuniting the twosome for their eighth film together, in "Alice in Wonderland." We’re sure the Mad Hatter has never been sexier.

We here at Hollywood Crush don't usually dabble in the real estate market, but that all changed when we heard that the family home of our favorite vampire clan was going on sale. That's right, the Cullen house from "New Moon" is up for grabs.
The three-floor Vancouver residence, which features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, can be yours for only $3.3 million. We say "only" because we think that's a fairly small price to pay to live in a home surrounded by "New Moon" memories.
Just think, for just a little over $3 million, you can walk the same halls and drink water from the same faucet as Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone.
Let the bidding war begin.

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.
