"Not only am I the host of the show, but I'm also a vampire and a werewolf," Jimmy Kimmel said during his introduction of last night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" "I hope I don't have to kill anyone tonight."

This kicked off the "New Moon"-heavy episode, which featured the only interview of Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson together. It also featured a performance by Death Cab for Cutie, whose "Meet Me At The Equinox" was the first single off the album.

Ever since he responded to then-girlfriend Sara Silverman's admission of indiscretion with Matt Damon by getting Harrison Ford, Lance Bass and Josh Groban to film an anthem to his relationship with Ben Affleck, Jimmy Kimmel has been my favorite late night talk show host. He cemented that even more when he asked Taylor Lautner the best question yet out of the "New Moon" press tour ...

In some of their final stops on the New York City press tour for "New Moon," Robert Pattinson visited the set of "Late Show with David Letterman" and Kristen Stewart hung out with Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

The Letterman show was fueled with the topic of "New Moon." In his opening monologue he commented that vampire teens stay up all night and then sleep all day, adding, "Isn't that every teenager? When you think about it, isn't that what other kids do?" and elaborating, "These teenagers not only drain you of your blood but they also empty your refrigerator." In his mockery of Barack Obama's interview with Fox News, he claimed the number four highlight of the interview was he began a feud over which twilight star is hunkier, Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner.

There's been some nostalgia over here at MTV as we take a look back to a year ago when "Twilight" was still on the brink of becoming a hit. MTV News conducted its first interview of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together in April 2008, and needless to say, you wouldn't hear her admit in a shy voice "I think he's really handsome" in any interviews nowadays.

The two admitted they had spent a lot of time together in pre-production because they were staying only two blocks away from one another.

"We sat around my dining room table for two entire nights and read the script," she said.

Breaking news! One huge teen pop sensation hates an extraordinarily popular vampire teen film series. Or, translated, Miley Cyrus hates "Twilight."

And she doesn't just kind of hate it. She loathes it.

"I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires. ... I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it," she told radio station Q92 in a backstage interview after her Cleveland show.

Between the grocery aisle and the magazine aisle, in the past few months, we haven't been able to get away from "New Moon" mania. So we at Hollywood Crush have decided to compile a list of all the magazines the various stars of "The Twilight Saga" have graced in recent months for your viewing pleasure. After you take the walk down memory lane, take our poll so we can decide which magazine nailed your vision for the stars the best!

1. Robert, Kristen and Taylor on EW, November 2009

In this past week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, the magazine sat down and asked Kristen, Taylor and Rob the important questions (or the only questions that haven't been asked yet). They got some funny stuff about Edward Cullen's brief stint with long hair and Taylor's fight for Jacob Black, and also caught Kristen's relationship joke of, "We are. We aren't. I'm a lesbian" on a voice recorder.

MTV's "New Moon Revealed" special, which aired last night, took a trip down memory lane to May 2008, when Robert Pattinson made one Twilighter's life much better by sneaking up on her in the MTV newsroom as he presented her with the first exclusive clip from the first film in the franchise. In-house "Twilight" expert Larry Carroll, who coordinated the whole event, wrote his own personal recap of the experience over on MTV.com.

"Having spent so much time back then with the 'Twilight' cast, and knowing that we had landed an exclusive clip of the movie, I had an idea: What if we were to surprise a die-hard fan with the clip and have it brought to her by Robert Pattinson?" he wrote.

Larry led MTV to become one of the leading sources of "Twilight" news before anyone in mainstream entertainment journalism had even heard of Bella and Edward making their way to film. The weekly installments of "Twilight Tuesdays" and exclusive early interviews with the cast made Larry the one guy who could pull some strings and make things happen.

While all the "New Moon" stars strutted their glory at the L.A. premiere last night, one surprise red carpet appearance was Joan Jett of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts fame. Kristen Stewart will be portraying Joan in the upcoming film "The Runaways" (which also stars Dakota Fanning), and after working with Kristen on the film, Joan couldn't resist coming to the premiere.

"I'd obviously heard about ['Twilight'], but before she was cast as me, I hadn't seen it," Joan told MTV News' Larry Carroll on the red carpet at the "New Moon" L.A. premiere. "Of course, when she was cast as me, I wanted to see the movie, and I've seen everything she's done. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really entertaining, and I'm excited that she was cast as me in 'The Runaways.'"

It’s taken a little over a year for Robert Pattinson to be considered a staple heartthrob worldwide. With the crazy success of the “Twilight” book series came the crazy success of the first film, catapulting its stars into instant, albeit unbidden, fame. Though he’s on the road now promoting “New Moon” (out this week!), we figured we would take some time to look at the evolution of Robert Pattinson.

Click the picture below to follow the evolution of Rob in pictures!

Born on May 13, 1986 in London, England, the hunk started out his career rather appropriately by following in his mother’s modeling footsteps at age 12. Ironically, he would later come out and explain that the reason this stint in the fashion world lasted only four years was because he was tall and feminine and it was at a time where “the androgynous look was cool.” Once he started looking more like masculine man we have grown to know and love, the job pool dried up.

Recently, midnight-release-ticket-buying "New Moon" fans completed a Fandango poll in which they were asked to fill out a survey about the franchise. Some questions were fun (i.e. "Which 'Twilight' actor is closest to the way you imagined the character?" Response: Ashley Greene), and others were a little, well, off. When asked, "Which of these young actors will be the first 'Twilight Saga' veteran to win an Oscar in their career?," Robert Pattinson dominated the results. However, we want you to turn your attention to Forks High School human Anna Kendrick, who as we noted earlier today, thinks Dakota Fanning could be among the first to take home the gold. In this hypothetical race, Anna is the clear all-star and Robert is still a bench warmer.

After all, the actress is becoming something of a sensation. As the second youngest person to ever be nominated for a Tony award, it shouldn't be a surprise that she is gaining critical praise for her film roles after only being in the business for six years. Her role as Natalie in Jason Reitman's upcoming dramedy "Up In The Air" is a standout in a film where everyone (George Clooney included!) delivered their best performances.

Anna Kendrick is on the fast road to getting her first Oscar nomination. She could very well be the first person from the "Twilight" cast to be nominated for an Academy Award. So when MTV News got a chance to sit down with her to talk about "Up In The Air," the film which is earning her critical acclaim, they had to ask who else she thinks could ever receive the honor, too.

"Shouldn't Dakota Fanning have like 12 at this point?" Anna asked. "She's one of those people where everyone sort of assumes that she has one. I'll go with Dakota, I guess."

It is shocking that the well-loved and respected child star hasn't earned the honor of an Oscar nomination (after all, she did have a standout performance in the controversial 2007 film "Hounddog," which included a rape scene), so I agree with Anna. Where are Dakota Fanning's many well-deserved Oscars? Alas, that's a topic we could probably discuss for hours.

What are your thoughts on this subject: Who do you think will be the first of the "Twilight" cast to receive a coveted Oscar?
