Hollywood Crush › Nikki Reed

With "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" premiering in theaters today, it's no surprise that members of the cinematic Cullen family are taking home top honors for red-carpet style this week. Two of our favorite vampire ladies made bold fashion choices at the same premiere event, both sporting cutting-edge gowns with cutout accents at the waist. But while one gal's missing pieces win our award for Style Superstar, the other's was...well, just a miss.

Rosalie Hale might be partial to all things dark and dreary, but the actress who plays her was anything but at the afterparty for a Cinema Society screening of the new "Twilight" film. Nikki Reed was blazing in a neon-green, floor-length Michael Kors gown with an open back, triangular cutouts at the waist and an up-to-there side slit that showed off her legs. It's a daring choice—but we don't give out Style Superstar honors for guts alone, and Nikki absolutely rocked this look. Her bronzed skin and bright lipstick are more than equal to the task of competing with this wild dress, and the chunky, cage-style shoes she paired it with are in keeping with her outfit's sense of fun.

You'd think everything would be sunshine and rainbows behind the scenes of "The Twilight Saga," considering the franchise's undeniable success and the obvious chemistry shared by the actors on the big screen. But star Nikki Reed, who plays vampiress Rosalie, keeps it real in the December issue of Seventeen, unveiling the dramz that sometimes goes on when the cameras are off, while also clearing up some misconceptions about herself.

"In the beginning, it was innocent and fun, and we were like one big happy family—it was like being at sleepaway camp. And then success comes along and changes the dynamic,” the newly wed revealed. "We’re not all best friends, and we’re not all going to hang out together after the final movie is done."

Even though there is a wedding in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," and even though Nikki "Rosalie Hale" Reed is a newlywed herself, it doesn't seem like there'd be a whole lot of similarities between the Edward-Bella nuptials and Nikki's recent, real-life marriage to "American Idol"'s Paul McDonald. Only when we sat down with Nikki to talk about the film, it turns out that the two have more in common than we thought!

Why?

Because Paul McDonald is a VAMPIRE, that's why!

...Okay, okay, just kidding. (Although... maybe? He does have a certain pallid je ne sais quoi that we've seen on the faces of our favorite fangers.) But actually, Nikki said, she was surprised to find that the movie's much-anticipated vampire wedding contains an eerie echo of her very own walk down the aisle.

After weeks of interviews for the upcoming "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the cast of this year's new "Twilight" flick are no doubt fatigued by the endless rounds of questions that they have to answer with, like, complete sentences involving actual words. So when we got the group for a visit, MTV News' Josh Horowitz went easy on them with a series of simple yes or no questions.

Or at least, it was supposed to be easy. A few highlights from the clips:

Do Taylor Lautner's friends still call him "Sharkboy"?
Answer: Yep. (But he's never had a pedicure, so, y'know. There's that.)

Did Peter Facinelli once kill a man?
His co-stars respond with a terrified, "NO!"... which means that not only has Peter killed someone, but he's also threatened to kill anyone who revealed the truth. Obviously.

Did you say "I do" to our "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" sneak peek scene, debuted during tonight's MTV First? Even if you did, we're guessing you'll probably want to renew your vows...over and over and over again, so click play on the clip below to view our EXCLUSIVE look at "Something Old, Something Blue."

As you probably surmised from our teaser photo posted yesterday, this scene captures the emotional moments leading up to Bella and Edward's other-worldly wedding ceremony. Alice (with Rosalie's help) is fussing over the bride-to-be, as mom Renee enters for a mascara-smudged tearfest. And then there's Charlie. Oh, old, lovable Charlie. He's got a gift for Bella, completing the wedding custom with something old and something blue all in one: a dazzling hairclip festooned with twinkling sapphires—an embellished heirloom once belonging to Grandma Swan.

Another day, another stop for the "Breaking Dawn" cast as they count down to November 14 and the big world premiere! This time, the cameras caught up with Jackson Rathbone and Nikki Reed in Italy, where the film had a special screening at the 6th International Rome Film Festival.

Nikki looked ethereal in a wispy white dress with a plunging halter neckline—very apt for the recently wed actress—and Jackson sported a natty look that even Southern gentleman Jasper Hale would approve of, wearing a three-piece suit complete with a classic watch-chain and a pair of fierce-looking boots. The pair's red-carpet appearance was hailed by a throng of thrilled "Twilight" fans, who packed the sidelines near the theater entrance in the hopes of glimpsing their favorite vampires.

If you were one of the Doubty McDoubtersons who questioned the legitimacy of Nikki Reed's warp-speed romance with "American Idol" hopeful Paul McDonald, we hope you didn't put any money on a breakup! Because per Us Weekly's exclusive report, the pair of fast-moving lovebirds tied the knot this weekend in a small, private ceremony in Malibu. That makes it just seven months from first meeting to white wedding, if you're counting... which we're not, because love just can't be, like, confined by numbers, man.

This was a whirlwind love affair even by Hollywood standards, as Nikki and Paul met in March at the "Red Riding Hood" premiere and were co-habitating and engaged by this summer. But while they're obviously passionate about each other, don't expect the two to be spending their honeymoon painstakingly recreating that bed-shattering scene from "Breaking Dawn"; despite Nikki's pivotal role in the "Twilight" films, her new husband isn't much for vampire romance and hasn't seen a single one of 'em. Or at least, not yet, anyway. (But pssst, Paul? Taking an interest in your wife's livelihood is an important part of a successful marriage, so maybe it's time to spend a weekend with the Cullens.)

With three beautiful years of "Twilight" fandom in the can, fans of the decade's—nay, the century's!—most epic vampire romance have already started to get a teensy bit morose over the cinematic saga coming to an end next year. But now, good news! Summit Entertainment, the studio responsible for the "Twilight" film empire, is launching the Twilight Time Capsule: an official online community where fans can come together, share photos and videos, check out all the official ephemera from the four-film franchise, and rest assured that—just like Edward and Bella's bloodlusty forever love—the world of "Twilight" will never, ever, EVER die.

If you want to know more about the Twilight Time Capsule, head on over to the site (and check out Nikki Reed's instructive video on how to use the portal). But much as we love a good eternal internet gateway to all things "Twilight," we'd also like to create a real time capsule—y'know, the old-fashioned kind that you bury in your backyard—in which to preserve the magic of "Twilight" for future generations. And for starters, we've compiled a list of five things to put in it!

We don't often report on the goings on of super hero movies—that's usually the province of our brother blog Splash Page. But when it involves our favorite sparkly vamps, we obviously have to take note.

In a new video from CollegeHumor, Nikki Reed and Peter Facinelli—clad in matching tight purple get-ups—play Wonder Twins Jayna and Zan, whom, I'm told by resident comic book dude, Josh Wigler, are "real" DC Comics heroes. In a world where Hollywood's run out of A-list superheroes, the duo auditions to fill the well-worn spandex. (Metaphorically, of course. We don't encourage sharing spandex. Diseases and such.) Except, well, their talents aren't all that exciting. Zan can morph into water, and Jayna can turn into any animal, and their display of a turtle in a jar of liquid is lackluster to say the least.

Nikki Reed is no bridezilla. In fact, the "Breaking Dawn" star might just have to arm wrestle fiance Paul McDonald for wedding planning duties. When we caught up with the bride-to-be at Sunday's Teen Choice Awards, she revealed that Paul's taking more ownership of the nuptial errands than he previously led on.

"He's doing a lot of it," Nikki explained. "He is. He's, like, taking control. He sits with his computer in between songs and just is on a roll with everything."
