Last week when it was announced that Taylor Lautner got cast as "Stretch Armstrong," we made note that with that project (and "Max Steel") he was "quite literally becoming a boy toy." Well, we're back now to reinforce that claim with an exclusive first look at the brand new Jacob Black doll!

The limited edition Jacob action figure, which comes a few (long-awaited!) months after Tonner debuted its Laurent, Victoria, James and "Hungry Edward" dolls during last July's Comic-Con, will be shapeshifting released this summer. The cost of the 17-inch-tall, hard plastic and vinyl figure will be $149.99 and there are only a limited number (3000 to be exact!) being made, so Twilighters, this is a chance to own a piece of cinematic history!

See the full Jacob in all his "muscular" glory after the jump!

In honor of the "Sweet Sixteen" countdown trends running rampant through media outlets recently, the folks over at FearNet.com decided to have a fan vote-off to choose the world's fiercest werewolves.

For nearly a year now, fans and the media have been speculating on whether Anna Kendrick could become the first “Twilight Saga” star to earn an Oscar nomination. Well, unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, you now know that she earned the Best Supporting recognition on Tuesday, which is huge news to “Twilight” fans.

Now, her costar and fellow Forks High student Michael Welch has reached out to MTV with his reaction — and let’s just say he’s happier than a vegetarian vampire with a freshly-killed deer.

“Human pride!” Michael beamed when we spoke, revealing where Mike Newton's loyalties lie. “Represent!”

One of the cool things about Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” franchise is the way it inspires others to create art. From paintings to fan fiction to music, there are a lot of genuinely talented folks out there — and today, we bring you the World Premiere of the latest video by five of our favorites.

Their name is the Twilight Music Girls, and they’re among the most talented of the Twilight Saga Bands out there. Just press “play” to watch their latest effort — and then read on for an interview with the five fast-rising females.

Awards season is in full swing, Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow, and it seems like the early months of the year are only here to celebrate the best of the best films. (It's definitely not to watch them. Cough "Leap Year" cough cough.) In the midst of this industry patting on the back, one awards show stands out from the rest. Today the Razzies announced its list of nominees for the 30th Razzie Awards and — sorry "Twilight" fans — "New Moon" met the cut over and over and over again.

While the film will be sure to get plenty of love in the fan-choice awards shows to come, "New Moon" definitely was not a critical favorite. It has been universally ignored by the various awards shows except for being shortlisted for best song (which really doesn't mean much), but not so by the Razzie's. "New Moon" was put in the nominations categories for Worst Screen Couple (Kristin Stewart and either Robert Pattinson or Taylor Whatz-His-Fang), Worst Supporting Actor (Robert), Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel and Worst Screenplay (Melissa Rosenberg).

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Last month, we gave you the first look at Lady Gaga on the cover of "Fame," Bluewater Productions' new line of celebrity biography comics. While Gaga's debut was certainly big news, "Twilight" fans were most excited about the presence of franchise actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the "Fame" lineup.

Now, we have your first look at a new cover for "Fame: Robert Pattinson," as well as an exclusive preview of interior art from the comic. Arriving on shelves in May, the 32-page comic promises to "trace Pattinson's career from his first performance in Tess of the D'Urbervilles at London's Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies."

If hearing Kristen Stewart's take on Renesmee wasn't enough for you, here's some more "Twilight"-related news sure to boost your spirits: Today is the day pre-orders go live for the various DVD copies of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." But before you run off to find the cheapest copy available for pre-order, there are a couple elements that should be weighed ahead of time.

Both Target and Barnes & Noble are offering special edition versions of "New Moon." Target's is arguably the best, offering a second special edition disc (three discs in all) and a "collectible film cell." The only details they had about the third disc is that it contains "never before seen content," and also commented that quantities are limited for the film cell (so make sure you ask when you pick up your copy). The special edition runs at $36.99, but is $10 off for pre-order, making it $26.99. The Blu-Ray version is $29.99.

Cancel that manicure and call off date night because you've got an appointment with Edward Cullen on March 20. At the stroke of 12:01 a.m., the "New Moon" two-disc special edition DVD and special edition Blu-Ray will hit store shelves. And you can bet your sweet Volvo they're full of juicy extras.

Along with the fantastic film, fans can expect a six-part, behind-the-scenes documentary chronicling the creation of the film, rehearsal footage from Muse, three music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina and Mute Math, as well as audio commentary by director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert. But where, oh where, is the commentary track with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner that Chris promised back in the day?

About nine months ago, Reelz Channel and some other popular film websites ran an article declaring Robert Pattinson would be replacing Tobey Maguire in the red and blue tights in "Spider-Man 4," quoting then director Sam Raimi as saying, "Robert is the future of the franchise." It was soon revealed that the April 1 post was nothing but a joke — a cruel joke — but in light of recent events, it can be assumed Reelz and the other sites are kicking themselves for how unfortunately they predicted the future.

Yes, my friends, the end is nigh, and Robert Pattinson could quite soon become your next young Peter Parker — or at least that is what many sites seem to be prognosticating since the news that Sony would be rebooting the franchise first spun its web.
