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.

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.

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?

A part in the upcoming "Twilight" sequel "New Moon" is the kind of breakout role any hot young actor would give his eye teeth for, but the star who has perhaps the most to gain from his role as Quileute shapeshifter Embry Call is Kiowa Gordon. Though he has yet to grace the silver screen, the 19-year-old has already garnered a rabid fan following (more on that to come), and we can only expect it will increase exponentially once the movie actually comes out. MTV News caught up with the Saga newbie at the premiere of "Bandslam" where he spilled about working out, those crazy fan happenings and how to tell he and his wolf brothers apart.

By now it's been well documented that Taylor Lautner gained 30 lbs. of muscles to retain his role as Bella's lovesick friend Jacob in the sequel—Taylor even flaunted the fact in the "Meet Jacob Black" trailer —but he wasn't the only one to get buff for "New Moon." The rest of the Wolf Pack also got put through the ringer. "When we showed up, they were like, 'We got you a personal trainer. You guys are gonna train hard!' Kiowa reminisced. "And so we were like, 'Sweet, we get to work out!' And it was really fun." Read more...

Fans of Stephenie Meyer's second "Twilight" novel, "New Moon," are already familiar with the most delicious side effect of Jacob's shape-shifting nature — an insatiable appetite for food! In fact, in one scene, the young Quileute downs his very own large pizza, but it turns out that another baked good is really what satisfies a starving wolf. MTV News caught up with Wolf Packer Kiowa Gordon who told us about his favorite scene involving the tasty treat.

"I call it the muffin scene," Kiowa said. "We all gather around at Emily's house — it's Sam's, the big pack leader's fiancee — and we all just gather around and eat muffins and talk about stuff." Read more...
