"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 ...

FROM MTV.COM:The big story this weekend may not only be about how awesome "New Moon" is — there will probably be a lot of talk about Taylor Lautner's new bulked-up physique. Some fans have even said that the muscles are a game-changer, and have switched their allegiances from Team Edward to Team Jacob.

"Amazing! Let me tell you, I think that was probably the best part of the movie — seeing him half-naked the whole time," Stephanie told MTV News after catching a midnight screening of "New Moon" in New York City.

Other fans not only loved the muscles, but also Jacob's new shorter 'do in the movie. "Taylor definitely stole the show," fan Melissa gushed. "This was all about Taylor."

After attending last night's star-studded New York City "New Moon" premiere, Taylor Lautner was up bright and early (or perhaps he stayed awake all night like his shapeshifting alter ego?) to hit the morning show circuit. First up was a "Today" show one-on-one with Matt Lauer (uh — now we kind of want to know why all four "Today" anchors were in on Kristen Stewart's interview?), where the host worked in one of the sneakiest segues I've ever seen. After asking whether friends and family keep Taylor grounded, Matt cautiously brought up another of Taylor's "friends," Miss Taylor Swift. "How's that going?" he asked, mentioning he'd seen the country star's shoutout to He-Taylor on "SNL."

"She's great. She's a great girl," Taylor said with a big grin. "I was definitely blushing when that happened."

"So you didn't expect it?" Matt asked. "No, it was a surprise," Taylor answered.

In addition to the usual fandemonium/weight gain conversation, Matt also managed to throw in another question likely to send fangirls into a tizzy, asking Taylor about his almost constant shirtlessness in the sequel. "Yeah, it was a little awkward just because we were flming in Vancouver in March. So it's snowing for the whole first month, and I'm the only one wearing the little jean shorts," Taylor replied.

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.

About an hour after Dakota Fanning's Jay Leno gab session last night, we were treated to Taylor Lautner’s appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (Kristen Stewart was in Fallon's hot seat on Wednesday night). But, just like Jay, Jimmy had his own “Twilight” skit try and tickle fans’ funny bones. Jimmy revived his "Robert is Bothered" sketch, which includes the host playing an angry Robert (who inexplicably sounds like John Lennon) sitting in a tree complaining about everything that’s bothering him.

So what was bothering Robert in this installment? Movies, sequels, werewolves, the wolf pack (they are the “O Town of werewolves”) and “New Moon” which should have been called “Twilight 2” because the sequel to “Rocky” wasn’t called “New Rocky.” Sorry, Jimmy, but all we want to see Rob doing in a tree is k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

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.

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.

With "New Moon" opening Friday and "Eclipse" due June 2010, it seems about time we cast our gaze forward to "Breaking Dawn." And no, it's not too early. Sure, the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's forth (and for now final) vampire romance has yet to be announced, but that didn't stop us from asking star Taylor Lautner about the "Twilight Saga"'s larger-than-life finale.

"I'm looking forward to the whole pack splitting up, that could be cool," the 19-year-old said, revealing which scene he is most excited to film for "Breaking Dawn." Taylor wasn't quite so sure, however, who should direct the last installment.

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!' "
