"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 ...

Last night, the stars of the month (or should it be year by now?), the cast of "New Moon," took their place in the New York City spotlight by attending the Cinema Society and D&G screening of the movie at the Landmark Sunshine Theater. It was originally supposed to be a "secret" event (is there really such a thing with the "Twilight" franchise anymore?), but plenty of faces from Manhattan's "elite" circles (um, hi, Ivanka Trump) were still there to support the Saga.

Just looking at the photos above (and the ones from the rest of the evening), it seems as though Kristen Stewart was somehow left off the memo that instructed attendees to "please only wear black or shades of cream tonight." Though she did show up to the carpet in a black Burberry trench coat, she eventually took it off to reveal an olive green Valentino dress. We adore the silhouette and the girly frills, but we're not super keen on the color for the actress, who looks a little washed out in it (her eyes, however, look stunning). As for Kristen's boys, both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner chose sleek black Dolce & Gabbana suits, with Rob's, of course, sans tie and unbuttoned at the top.

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.

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.

Kristen Stewart made two stops this morning on the New York City-based talk show circuit, with appearances on both "Today" (pictured) and "Live with Regis and Kelly." In addition to answering the usual "Twilight" mania and "New Moon" setup questions, the actress also talked about playing Joan Jett, indie movies, and made a definitive decision in the Team Jacob versus Team Edward debate. Reiterating the stance she took when speaking with MTV News at the "New Moon" press junket a couple of weeks ago, Kristen told Regis and Kelly that she'd side with the vampire.

Because she's probably had to do this about a gazillion times already, Kristen had her "New Moon" summary down pat. "The really perfect love that we've presented in the first one is completely shattered," she said on "Regis and Kelly" (her outfit? a brown sweater dress). "[Bella's] best friend is a werewolf and her boyfriend is a vampire and they don't like each other very much... She discovers there are different levels of loving someone."

If there's one place vampires, werewolves and humans can co-exist peacefully, it's surely the red carpet. Love triangles, team alliances and centuries-old pacts were put aside last night to celebrate the long-awaited premiere of "New Moon" at LA's Westwood village theater. (Did you read our live blog throughout the night?) Though fans lined up for hours to get a glimpse of their favorite "Twilight" stars, we've got a fashion rundown you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home—sans earplugs.

A lot has changed for the Saga's stars since last year's premiere, including their wardrobe. Kristen Stewart eschewed her mini-dress of yore, opting instead for a floor-grazing, gray-stitched gown by Oscar De La Renta. But in signature Kristen-fashion she funked it up by adding a few bangles, smokey eyes and a messy, half up-do. Kristen's onscreen love Robert Pattinson looked every inch the movie star in a black Gucci suit, with a soft yet still-slightly tousled haircut and his token stubble.

It was all about the Taylor Lautner panties on the late night circuit Monday, as both Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner himself dished about the laughable lingerie in separate talk show appearances.

First up was the always-dapper Taylor sporting a gray suit and skinny tie on "The Jay Leno Show." When asked about his most shocking fan encounter, Taylor had a hard time choosing just one, but settled on this unsettling encounter:

"We were at an autograph signing," he began. "There was a mother who was like in her mid-40s and a little teenage daughter. And the mother, she's getting ready, she's up next, she's like shaking and doing this dance and rubbing her hands, and she's getting all ready. And the daughter, she's just chilling [crosses arms]. And [the event supervisors] go, 'All right, you're up.' The mother skips on up. She goes, 'Excluse me, Taylor.' She grabs, my wrist. 'I'm wearing the Team Taylor panties right now. Is there anyway I can take them off for you and have you sign them quick?' And the daughter goes 'Mom, come on!' "

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.'"

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.
