In Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance, heroine Bella Swan's fresh, floral scent is one of many traits that her bloodsucking boyfriend Edward Cullen finds simply irresistible. But not all vamps shares his penchant for petals. Dakota Fanning, who plays the petite pain-inflicting Volturi member Jane, enjoys a much meatier brand of heroin.

"Orange chicken from Panda Express, which I had earlier today," Dakota replied with a laugh when asked what scent would incite a little neck nibbling of her own. "So if someone smelled like orange chicken, I would for sure have to eat them. It's the best! It's so good!"

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, 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.”

They may not want to talk about their rumored romance, but on Tuesday night as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart made their way through a Paris airport heading off to London the two were spotted HOLDING HANDS!

Entertainment Weekly was lucky enough to conduct a series of roundtable interviews with the cast of "Eclipse" during their last week of filming. For those of you unfamiliar with the journalistic term, a roundtable is an interview set up where a number of people are present, sometimes even at a round table. In most situations, this occurs with one celebrity and a number of journalistic, but in this case (hence the "lucky") it was one journalist and Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

In a recent post on their Hollywood Insider blog, EW said they asked Kristen during the interview about the endless rumors surrounding her and onscreen beau Rob. Her response was apparently not what they expected.

“I probably would’ve answered it if people hadn’t made such a big deal about it,” she said. “But I’m not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about ‘Well, you chose to be an actor, why don’t you just f—ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?’”

In addition to more screen time to spend with Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, "New Moon" is bringing two big, new developments with it to theaters on November 20: the Volturi and the Quileute wolf pack.

For Nikki Reed, who plays good vampire Rosalie Hale in the film, the wolf pack is her favorite new addition.

"They bring a very obvious warmth. To see people actually interacting and wrestling and touching each other and rolling around in the mud and being a bunch of boys? That was a nice addition," she said.

EDITORS NOTE: Halloween has come and gone, but we wanted to wish a big CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of our Rob O'Lantern Pumpkin Carving Contest, Christie (a.k.a. finalist #1). As we promised, the winner would get the chance to write a blog about their love of Rob. Below, read on to find out just what kind of fan Christie — who noted that her carving comes with the tagline,"'New Moon': When forever is no longer an option, how do you survive?" — is of the heartthrob and the franchise that made him a star.

My name is Christie, I'm from Maryland, and I have an addiction. It started out small and harmless, as addictions often do, but it grew and grew and grew. First it was just some books I read. Then it was a movie I watched ... several times. Then it was the scrapbook I created. Next, a birthday cake. Then I joined the staff of Novel Novice Twilight, reporting news and writing up special features about the "Twilight" universe and fandom. Now, it's pumpkin carvings.

That's a wrap, folks! Yes, "Eclipse" has officially finished filming (we don't have to get sad yet, we still have "Breaking Dawn," after all) according to the movie's director David Slade. David announced via his Twitter early this morning, "Twilight Eclipse officially wrapped shooting, at 4.30 am October 29th. Physically and emotionally exhausted. DAVID S." We can hardly wait to see the finished product!

Of course, the "Eclipse" crew weren't the only ones with a reason to celebrate today. Britney Spears (pictured) passed a landmark of her own today. Brit's crew told fans on her Twitter page, "Congrats @BritneySpears for becoming the #2 most followed person on Twitter!"

BOO!!!" Though, some stars, like basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, seem to have a completely different holiday on their minds. As Shaq declared, "Shaq-A-Claus is coming to town!

Like most of the stars of "Twilight," getting a starring role in the vampire love story was Ashley Greene's lucky break. The 22-year-old actress was an unknown before she was cast in the role of Alice Cullen and didn't have a pivotal role in a film to date. Since then, she has continued to be cast as the future-seeing vampire through all its upcoming installments, and has a few more film roles lined up.

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

Though it was her short stature that landed Ashley the job as Alice Cullen, her 5' 5" frame meant she couldn't pursue her first love: modeling. She took some classes for commercial acting and fell in love with the craft. After graduating high school early at age 17, Ashley headed from her home in Jacksonville, Fla. to L.A. to pursue a career in acting.
