Hollywood Crush › Edward Cullen

Okay, okay. We admit that headline is a bit misleading, however factually accurate it may be. But it made you look, right?

June 20 is indeed Edward's special day—the perpetual 17-year-old turns the ripe old age of 110 years old. Born Edward Anthony Masen on June 20, 1901, in Chicago, the "Twilight" character has been witness to many life-changing events over his century-plus. Prohibition, the Great Depression, World War II, the lunar landing—he's seen it all. And, regrettably, fallen victim to more than a few fashion fads along the way.

In honor of Edward's birthday, we decided to take a look back at his sartorial sense (using alter ego Robert Pattinson as a model, natch), from the roaring '20s to the present day. Feast your eyes and let us know what you think! (We're definitely hoping that floral mankini makes a cameo during a "Breaking Dawn" honeymoon scene!)

Vampires and Facebook. Two mainstays of our day-to-day pop-culture-lovin' lives have made their way to the movies this weekend. The eagerly awaited and critically-praised Facebook flick, "The Social Network" already has quite a few celebs clicking the "like" button." Actor Ryan Pinkston said of the movie (which stars Jesse Eisenberg, pictured, Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield), "Social Network. Wow. Amazing" while "Glee" star Harry Shum, told followers, "Social Network lived up to it's hype. Sorkin and Fincher, what a great combo." Meanwhile, one of the film's stars, Malese Jow, tweeted, "The Social Network is out in theaters TODAY! So blessed to have a bit part in this amazing film."

Of course, there's another great option at the box office this weekend with the release of "Let Me In," the remake of the 2008 vampire chiller, "Let The Right One In." The film's star Chloe Moretz, alerted fans, "HEY EVERYONE!! PLEASE GO SEE #LETMEINTHEMOVIE IT IS OUT NATIONWIDE IN THE USA!!! KICK OFF OCTOBER WITH AN AMAZING HORROR FILM!! : )" The up-and-coming actress later posted a cute pic of her with fellow famous vampire, Edward Cullen, "Hahah me plus Rpatt vampires unite!!! http://plixi.com/p/48156204."

Before I begin discussing the results of Entertainment Weekly’s Sexy Beast bracket game, which chose the No. 1 hottest sci-fi/supernatural creature of all time via Internet voting, I just want to warn Team Edward members that you might want to click through to another post. You’re not going to be happy with these results.

After one month, 64 beasts and more than 1.5 million votes, the final matchup was between two very worthy contenders: Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) of "The Twilight Saga" (swoon) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) of "The Vampire Diaries" (double swoon). It’s kind of fitting that two vampires would be left standing, since this has kinda been their year (or two or three) and everything.

But still, such a dilemma. Whom to choose? Sparkly Edward or broody Damon? Well, remember: This is not an unbiased report, people.

It's pretty hard to miss the 3G coverage war going on between Verizon and AT&T, and Verizon's newest commercial is telling AT&T and their customers to "suck it," quite literally. The ad spoofs the now classic (and frequently mocked) woods scene from "Twilight" where Edward tells Bella he is a vampire, and it might be our favorite spoof yet.

"Make me yours Sebastian, forever," a very blonde female actress begs to a very RPattz-esque "Sebastian." The dramatic music crescendos as the vampire fangs pop out before a brief ping grabs Sebastian's attention.

Those who fantasized over getting some personal face time with Taylor Lautner's chiseled bod can now take one step closer to realizing their dream: a new line of figures from "New Moon" promises to whet the appetite of millions of Twilighters across the globe.

Toymaker NECA has unveiled a new slate of characters from the "Twilight" sequel that finally brings home a shirtless Jacob Black, Jasper Cullen and even a specially-treated Edward figure that sparkles in the sunlight, in addition to their previous Bella release. The company gave MTV News a special preview of their new products and a taste of what (and who's) in store, so be sure to watch the video below for the sneak peek of your next Christmas list.

After the jump, check out a few more images the new "New Moon" merchandise line!

In the long awaited countdown to "New Moon," we've brought you just about everything you've ever wanted to know about the franchise, its stars and their (maybe) love lives. Now that you've seen the big sequel (and caused it to break box office records), we bet your head is swimming with even more "I need to know this NOW!" questions — especially ones about your favorite character's style in the movie. That's where we come in.

We knew how much you loved Edward's grey pea coat in "Twilight" (it was a custom design). And we bet you already own a version Bella's blue hooded jacket (made by BB Dakota) — but with "New Moon" comes a whole new shopping list. So, starting today, we'll look back at the making of the movie's wardrobe with costume designer Tish Monaghan. First up: Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart).

BEGINNING THE PROCESS
“There was already a particular look in place, so the first thing I did was find out from the studio and the director, Chris Weitz, if they were happy with the looks of the characters,” recalled costume designer Tish Monaghan. “Were there things they wanted changed? Once I got those instructions — there were only minor adjustments to be made.” Bella's presentation from “Twilight” was kept consistent. “[The studio and Chris] liked that she was a tomboy and that she was in earth tones and was a little bit out of place. So I picked up on all of those comments, and when I did all of my purchasing for her, I stayed more or less in that world unless there was something specific that was required in the script.”

With the debut of “New Moon” just around the corner, the age-old Team Jacob or Team Edward dispute is going to come more and more into play. Celebrities and fans are continuing to choose sides, but some people are still having trouble deciding — the mysterious, passionate vampire or the hunky, sweet teen-werewolf. To make your decision a little easier, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner picked the characters apart and pin-pointed just what it is that will make you drool over both the bloodsucker and werewolf.

Although you would assume Taylor is Team Jacob, he understands how your vote could go either way. “It just depends on your type … If you believe in that friendship and you guys are friends at first and you develop this deep friendship and then all of a sudden fall in love later on, then you should be Team Jacob," he noted. “But, if you believe in love at first sight, seeing that mysterious man in the corner, then alright, join Team Edward.” Check out the clip above to find out which team Kristen chooses and who she thinks Bella should be with.

Are you Team Jacob or Edward? Why?

He'll shield you from runaway minivans, scale ancient Evergreens with you tucked safely on his back and even serenade you with a soothing lullaby on the piano. Edward Cullen is basically the world's best—dead or undead—boyfriend ever. Or is he? We've got to admit, some of the bloodsucker's behavior in the upcoming "Twilight" sequel seems a bit—dare we say it?—jerky. When we caught up with actor Robert Pattinson at a press junket in Beverly Hills, we couldn't help but ask if Edward really is a tool. And we had some pretty damning evidence in hand.

In "New Moon" Edward makes his first appearance whizzing into the Forks High school parking lot in his signature Volvo. But when the vamp parks his sweet ride he takes up not one, not two but three (!!) parking spots. Kind of a douchey move, right? After blaming director Chris Weitz for the parking faux pas, Robert rationalized the maneuver saying, "I think [Edward did it] because that was the only spot, there weren't any other spots available. It would be less of a dramatic entrance if I'm, like, backing up into something," he added with a laugh.

Have you bought a pumpkin this year? Don’t know what to do with it? We at MTV personally had a serious pumpkin problem this year and we were under much distress. So you know what we did? We carved Robert Pattinson’s face into it and all our problems just whittled away ... just like that. October 31st is Halloween and November 20th the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon" hits the theaters. What better way to celebrate than to combine the two?! Now we want YOU to get on slicing and dicing! This is where the Rob O’Lantern Contest starts.

The deal: Find a pumpkin; any pumpkin — gigantic, petite or just plain odd sized and sliver Robert Pattinson’s face into it. It could look like the zealous Edward Cullen, the daring Cedric Diggory or R-Patz himself. If you carved your pumpkin and it still looks plain to you, make it have a little scruff just like Rob. Throw on a wig that emulates his hair! Make him have that signature daring little smirk. It doesn’t matter! Make it the best it can possibly be! When you are finished send a picture of your pumpkin to http://your.mtv.com with the label “Rob O’Lantern Contest.” The DEADLINE for the photo is THIS FRIDAY October 23. The following week, we'll reveal the top 3, with the grand-prize winner announced October 30.

The prize: Did you just go through all this for nothing? No, absolutely not! The winner will not only get their own personalized Hollywood Crush post to blog about RPattz themselves, but they will also be receiving a brand spanking new copy of Scene It? Twilight . Test your expertise and show off your love for the franchise all in one swoop. It just doesn't get any better.

Thank you, Hot Topic, for giving us everything we never needed for "New Moon": an umbrella with Edwards face covering it, a t-shirt with Jacobs six pack to make up for our own lack thereof, split-moon friendship necklaces, and a shirt that makes us want to take out a restraining order (yes, we are referencing the t-shirt pictured).

All (kind of) joking aside, there is some stuff from Hot Topics new New Moon licensed gear collection that we find to be pretty interesting. Check out our top five picks after the jump!
