LOS ANGELES – Taylor Lautner says 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' is the "most emotional" film in the series.
The actor returns as werewolf Jacob Black in the first part of the series' finale - which sees the marriage and of love torn character Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen - and promises it has the most "epic" emotionally charged scenes so far.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The stars took a bite out of Los Angeles Monday night for the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon held at Mann Village Theatre in nearby Westwood, Calif.
Fans howled as stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed and Dakota Fanning, among others, walked the red carpet.
LOS ANGELES — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have a hard time agreeing on a lot of things, including which one of them is the most romantic.
"I have a no-bulls--- detector, so I'd have to say Rob is," Stewart tells Harper's Bazaar for the magazine's December cover story. "I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming."
When told Stewart had pegged him as the more romantic of the two, Pattinson responds: "No. I'm better at faking."
The Twilight pair also draws a line in the sand when it comes to choosing which has the bigger ego.
"I'd have to say him," Stewart says. "I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a f--- about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."
"It's kind of a tie," Pattinson responds. "We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous. Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."
But Stewart and Pattinson don't always disagree. For instance, both share the same conclusion that Stewart is the far more athletic one of the two.
"Rob can barely jump rope," Stewart says. "I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run ..."
While she believes his athletic skills are lacking, Stewart does call Pattinson "a great singer. Heartbreaking." He also had some kind words to say in return about his co-star.
"She's a unique girl," he says. "You really don't meet many people like Kristen."
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Twilighters are buzzing at the latest "New Moon" movie trailer which was officially released on Friday with the Vanessa Hudgens film "Bandslam."
The action-packed trailer is narrated by Taylor Lautner, whose brand new ripped body is fully on display in the latest sneak peek at the film, which opens in theaters on Nov. 20.
"Jacob has changed in a lot of different ways," Lautner says in the promo for the "Twilight" sequel. "He's bigger, he's 30 pounds bigger!"
Lautner also boasts that fans "are really going to be happy."
"'New Moon' is a lot more complicated than 'Twilight' was," says the 17-year-old heartthrob. "As time goes on, the heat starts building. 'New Moon' is going to be stepped up a whole other notch. There's more action in this one, especially with the werewolves involved."
"'New Moon is exciting," he continues. "It's always pushing to the next level."
Unfortunately, Hudgens wasn't able to reap the awards of the trailer after it was leaked online prior to her movie's opening, sending her film to a finish outside the weekend Top 10.

LOS ANGELES — Kristen Stewart is making a bold prediction for all those Twilighters eagerly anticipating the upcoming "Twilight" sequel "New Moon."
"[Making 'Twilight'] was much more of a fight," the 19-year-old actress, who stars as Bella in the hit franchise, tells Entertainment Weekly. "We needed to make something commercial but stay true to the book. We didn't have enough money. It was all very impulsive, and that's what I love about that movie…But I think 'New Moon' is gonna be even better."
In addition to making bold predictions, Stewart also played a part in making sure that Taylor Lautner returned in the role of her on-screen bestie Jacob.
"It's completely understandable why they wanted to make sure he was right," she explains of the casting debate. "He was so young, 16, so I got it. But I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him."
Lautner dove into his return vigorously as he trained hard and beefed up for his increased presence in "New Moon."
"My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit," says the 17-year-old heartthrob. "My trainer would be like, 'Go have a huge milk shake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.' "
In the end, Stewart says, her on-screen chemistry with Lautner is more than magical in "New Moon," which arrives in theaters on Nov. 20.
"We have that relationship," she says. "It's lamely cute."

ATLANTA — Kellan Lutz can be more than obliging on occasion.
During a recent tour stop in Atlanta, a fan asked the "Twilight" hunk a potentially forward question.
"How many hours a day do you have to workout in order to keep your amazingly hot body?" inquired a Twilighter as the crowd filled with screaming females roared in approval at the line of questioning.
"I've been so lazy," responded Lutz after taking a moment to catch his breath. "When I have stuff to do, or I'm traveling or out of my element, I can't workout."

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — "Twilight" fans are about to see a new set of fangs.
Bryce Dallas Howard is taking over the role of Victoria in the franchise's third installment, "Eclipse," studio Summit Entertainment announced late Tuesday.
The actress, who is the 28-year-old daughter of director Ron Howard, assumes the role from Rachelle Lefevre, who starred in the hit franchise's first film and its upcoming sequel, "New Moon." The casting change was brought about by a scheduling conflict with Lefevre's upcoming schedule, the studio said.
"We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise," said Erik Feig, Summit's President of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions. "Rachelle brought Victoria to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role."
In "Eclipse," Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob—knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
Howard most recently starred in "Terminator Salvation" as Kate Connor. Her other film credits include "Spider-Man 3," "Lady in the Water" and "The Village."
Howard also earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in HBO's "As You Like It."
"Eclipse," which begins shooting next month in Vancouver, is due to arrive in theaters on June 30, 2010.
