This summer, we posed a simple question to you, our beloved Hollywood Crush readers: Would you ever get a "Twilight" tattoo? Reactions were mixed, but one group that sounds eager to immortalize the vampire romance in ink is the actors who play the series' shapeshifting tribesmen.

When MTV News caught up recently with Alex Meraz, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon, they revealed that they've been mulling over the idea of making the Quileute symbol they sport in the flick a permanent fixture.

"Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone?" That's the question on our minds tonight as the LA premiere of "New Moon" gets underway! We'll begin by live-blogging the entire event, giving you the inside scoop on all the big arrivals (say it with us now: OME!), awe-inspiring fashion and inevitable ear-piercing screams that will takeover the red carpet at the Westwood Village theater. So get your refresh buttons ready and join the MTV crew (and "Twilight" maniacs) — including Larry Carroll and Ryan J. Downey — as Hollywood Crush takes you behind the scenes of the most-anticipated movie this year!

11:10 That's a wrap, folks. Thanks for joining us on our journey to the "New Moon"!

11:08 The crowd is chanting "TAYLOR! TAYLOR! TAYLOR!" as the carpet winds to a close.

11:07 Taylor is wearing Calvin Klein. Kristen is wearing Oscar de la Renta.

11:06 Taylor is telling Larry he's "sticking to the diet and trying to get into the gym as much as possible," but it's been hard with everything going on lately.

11:05 Kristen confirmed what Joan told us, by the way, that she is definitely doing her own singing in "The Runaways" movie.

11:04 "We put a lot of hard work into this film, and I'm dying for it to come out!" SO ARE WE TAYLOR!

11:03 Kristen was chattier than usual. What's the best thing about being her? She says she knows she'll never get to experience anything like this (pointing to the fans) no matter what kind of movies she's in. "Definitely this is the coolest thing."

11:01 Kristen is talking to Larry about how great it is to have Taylor here after all the questions about whether he'd return. "I'm so proud of him ... I think he's the most centered of anybody here."

11:00 Here she is! Wait... she's taking pictures with those three sneaky fans!

10:58 A security guard is checking their credentials... again!

10:57 Meanwhile, Taylor is taking pictures with three sneaky young fans who somehow have credentials.

10:57 She was headed our way but then her folks realized she passed E!. She was almost to our platform then redirected with an about-face to our neighbors.

10:56 An excited and hurried publicist just ran over and asked, "Will you guys be ready for Kristen?" HECK YEAH!!!!!

10:52 Kellan just walked by with his arm around a fan wearing a "Nutz For Lutz" t-shirt. Pretty sure he pulled her out of the crowd!

10:51 We can see Kristen! Gorgeously porcelain.

10:48 Yup, It looks like Taylor is getting closer.

10:45 It's quiet at our end of the carpet as we wait for Kristen and Taylor!

10:39 Adam Shankman is telling Larry about his involvement in the movie version of the "Rock Of Ages" musical, which was just announced in the trades.

10:35 Robert is wearing Gucci, by the way. Wherever he is now.

10:33 And he's gone! Dragged away by a publicist as quickly as he arrived.

10:32 What's the best part about being Robert Pattinson? He laughs and thinks for a minute. "I couldn't really tell you," he says with his wide smile. What's the worst part? "You've got to work every single day." Which he hasn't gotten used to.

We’ve got plenty of “New Moon” goodies set up for you over the next two weeks (yes, there are less than two weeks until “New Moon” hits theaters! But who's counting?). Earlier today we brought you backstage snapshots from Friday's junket, and now we've got more gems from that same event — Five facts your didn't know about the movie.

Our favorite on the list actually pulls from a scene in the trailer, where Bella (Kristen Stewart) is seen hitting wolf pack leader Sam Uley (Chaske Spencer). Apparently, even though Chaske has nine inches and (we’re guessing) over a hundred pounds on Kristen, she still left him black and blue after the 15 takes it took to get the shot.

Last night kicked off the first stop of the Hot Topic “New Moon" promotional tour which will be bringing your favorite “New Moon" stars to a store near you over the next two weeks — and marks the home stretch to "New Moon" release (which is now less than two weeks away!).

Unfortunately for those of us who don’t live in the always star-filled Hollywood, we won’t get the chance to see such a large repast of “New Moon" stars as those who attended did last night. Everyone was there (except for a few of the Cullen clan that were missed!)

Seriously, we weren't kidding earlier when we said we can't keep up with all the delectable photos coming our way! Moments ago we received a brand new crop of "New Moon" photos from Summit, and while we can't help but think, "Uh, are there actually moments we haven't yet seen?" (you know, with all the stills previously released before these), we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves digging into a ton of new goodies.

For instance: The Cullen clan looking quite pretty (especially Esme)! Bella's school buddies paling around! The Wolf Pack .... with shirts on! (OK fine, that last one didn't really deserve the exclamation point, but still...) Chris Weitz peeking into a video camera! Oh my!

Click on the photo below to see them all, and check back with us throughout the weekend for all things "Twilight"!

You know the phase of a "New Moon" has officially begun when the cast starts making so many appearances that we can't keep up with all the delectable photos coming our way! Today, Larry Carroll is speaking to all of your favorites (keep checking back with us all day for updates!), and later he'll also be attending the kick off of the Hot Topic Cast Tour at Hollywood & Highland (again, MTV News will be your source for on-the-scene reports!).

But ... before all that madness gets underway, a few of the clan (a.k.a. some wolves, a human and a vampire) got together last night to launch the Nordstrom version of the "New Moon" cast tour (check out the rest of Nordstrom's stops here) in Canoga Park, California. So click on the photo below to see our entire gallery of Edi Gathegi, Christian Serratos, Alex Meraz, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon hamming it up. We especially love the way Edi looks to be clawing at Christian's face. Cute.

Exactly one month from today, theaters across the country will be jam-packed with Bella, Edward and Jacob fans quenching their bloodlust for "Twilight" sequel "New Moon." And as the day draws slowly closer, it seems more and more footage from the November 20 release emerges from the shadows. Just last night, "ET" debuted an exclusive clip revealing, for the first time, Jacob's friend Paul (Alex Meraz) phasing into a wolf.

The scene begins with an angry Bella (Kristen Stewart) confronting the wolf pack over the emotional rift between her and Jacob (Taylor Lautner). "What did you do to him?" she yells. "He tells me nothing because of you." Instead of answers, Bella receives only a chuckle from Paul, enraging her more. She takes a swing at the buff Quileute, landing a punch square on his nose. Unable to control his fury, Paul phases into a gray wolf and lunges for Bella, which is where the clip picks up from previous trailers. Bella tells Jacob to run and he shifts into a red-furred wolf to protect her.

That Summit Entertainment, what a tease. Don’t they know we don’t want more posters, we want a new trailer showing us our favorite “New Moon” characters in action! Or for them to release the film a month and a half early! But alas — the production company behind “The Twilight Saga” released three new posters today featuring, respectively, the Cullen's and Bella, the Volturi and the wolf pack. Fortunately, these posters are planned to be plastered across bus stops and other spots that feature outdoor posters in the coming weeks. I guess seeing Bella and friends (and enemies!) everywhere we turn isn’t such a bad alternative.

The first poster above of the Cullen's I find a little misleading. Bella and Edward are wrapped around one another but — and I don’t want to ruin this for anyone who still hasn’t read “New Moon” — Edward leaves so early on! Couldn’t they have represented that somehow through this poster? Not that I mind seeing Bella and Edward in a tight embrace, but I feel like they let the ball drop on this one. Also, what’s up with Jackson Rathbone's face?

We love you MJ. We love you Beyonce and Lady Gaga. But the most exciting moment at the VMAs was the debut of a third “New Moon” trailer. For those of you who missed it, check out the full video and then follow our walk through of the entire trailer, with 70 (!) snap shots in total (click on any of the photos in this post to see all of 'em!). Happy Stephenie Meyer Day, indeed!

Above, we get a closer look at the man being punished by Aro (we look into who the mystery victim could be in our secrets of the "New Moon" trailer article!). Also in our flipbook, we see Jacob and Bella at the movie theater, Bella’s hallucinations of Edward and all those gorgeous Italy scenes.

Maybe I take my pop culture a bit too seriously, but last night I was watching a documentary on Roseanne Barr and as it listed all the vain, nonsensical, mean-spirited ways that she blew her early-90s power and money, and I couldn’t help but wonder: How much did I contribute to that behavior by watching her sitcom every week back in the day? Well, maybe we can all feel a little bit better about blowing our cash on something like “Twilight,” as evidenced by a story we ran recently on the cast's devotion to charity work.

And the hits just keep on coming! As we were putting that story to bed, I got a shout from “New Moon” star Chaske Spencer, who was hoping to bring some attention to his own recent efforts. Naturally, we’re happy to report that more good is going on out there courtesy Sam Uley — and it doesn’t even involve taking his shirt off. Read more...
