While other young women involved in the Twilight cult phenomenon might bask in the glow of the paparazzi's flashbulbs, Nikki Reed is not one of them. In fact, the 21-year-old Reed, known for making her mark on both television (The O.C.) and film (Mini's First Time, Last Day of Summer, Chain Letter, Lords of Dogtown and Thirteen,) would rather find a room of her own far away from the Twilight glare. Currently starring as a vampire named Rosalie in the Cullen clan alongside best pal Kristen Stewart, in  

To the surprise of no one, it turns out the folks who hated J.K. Rowling and Dan Brown aren't into the Stephenie Meyer cinematic canon, either. "This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern," warns the Vatican's culture council leader, Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, in a statement timed to the release of New Moon . "This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever, is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric e  

A new survey shows a troubling number of youths who lined up at local theaters to watch the latest movie in the popular "Twilight" series think controlling and self-destructive behaviors portrayed in the film are OK. The Start Strong Idaho survey, a project of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, polled young fans Thursday about the series, which features an ordinary teenager, Bella, who is in love with a vampire, Edward. The survey found 68 percent of Idaho youths who were polled  

Ann McQuillin had seen the movie Twilight three times before she decided she just had to have a replica of the truck driven by lead character Bella Swan. She knew a red, 1953 Chevrolet half-ton with her name on it was out there somewhere. That somewhere was Virginia Beach -- the cab anyway. The truck's box came from Minnesota.  

The new Twilight vampire movie took a record $26.3m (£15.9m) in midnight showings at North American box offices, studio Summit Entertainment has said. That beats the previous North American record of $22.2m (£13.5m) for midnight openings, taken by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in July. Experts have predicted that New Moon will have one of the biggest opening weekends for a non-summer film. The first movie in the series, starring Robert Pattinson, made $69.6m (£42.1m). It is expected the s  

This is no phlebotomy joke: vampires are coming to the Med City. At Midnight tonight, scores of teens will line up to howl at the "New Moon," the second film in the rabidly successful "Twilight" series. Serious fans of the series, "Twi-hards," they're called, already know what to expect. Edward and the rest of the Cullens leave Forks.  

New Moon has raked in US$26.3mil (RM89.42mil) to set a new record for midnight openings at its North American box office Friday, industry reports said. Entertainment industry sources said the highly-anticipated sequel beat Batman: The Dark Knight, which took US$18.4mil (RM62.56mil) in 2008, and even the sixth Harry Potter film. Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince earned US$22.2mil (RM75.48mil) earlier this year in midnight screenings.  

The fan frenzy regarding Stephenie Meyer's four-book series, a romantic fantasy of star-crossed lovers in a supernatural setting involving vampires and werewolves, has become a phenomenon. Excited "Twi-hards," as hard-core fans are known, showed up in attire and even temporary tattoos proclaiming their allegiance to either teenage Bella Swan's brooding vampire soulmate Edward Cullen or her best friend Jacob Black, who becomes part of a love triangle in "New Moon," the darkest tale of the four. Both ac

Twihards will be OMG, OMG, OMG. The rest of us? ROTFL.  

Robert Pattinson's director thought it would be "creepy and inappropriate" to tell him how to kiss Kristen Stewart. Chris Weitz admits he took a back seat during the recording of romantic scenes between the pair — who are believed to be dating in real life — and refused to give them advice on how to approach the encounters while making 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon'. He said: "Capturing those scenes is really a question of just allowing the actors to do their work. They know their characters. They know
