While we patiently wait for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" to hit theaters this fall, we can satisfy our Twilight fix with the MTV Movie Awards on June 3, 2012.

The latest Twilight flick is nominated for the top award of “Movie of the Year” and everyone’s favorite category “Best Kiss.”

1.) The famous honeymoon scene was partially shot on a busy street in Rio de Janeiro, but since
As soon as “50 Shades of Grey” rose to fame earlier this year as the hot new sex toy erotic fiction novel, rumors began to swirl on whether or not Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would star in the movie adaptation of the flick.

The book began as online “Twilight” fan-fiction, so naturally, everyone wondered what the big-screen version of the steamy book would look like as portrayed by the “Twilight” stars.

MTV released a video of the cast of “Snow White and the Hunstman” reading passages from the book allowing us a sneak into what Kristen would be like as “50 Shades” protagonist Anastasia Steele.
Don't MISS out on Breaking News!
Kristen Stewart should hire a human-like android to do all her interviews for her from now on, because it will be 100% better than everything that comes out of her mouth.

The "Twilight" star is complaining that now that she's so famous, her life is really boring. Fire this under “rich and famous person complaining about being rich and famous.”

Stewart covers the June issue of Elle magazine and let me just say that she looks great. I just want to compliment her face right off the bat before I go into this story on how annoying she’s being.
“Twilight” co-stars and real life lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart apparently cannot wait to star in another movie together.

“I’m dying to make another movie with Rob,” Kristen tells Celebuzz, “I think that we’re a good team.”

Well, until “Wuthering Heights” gets another big screen adaptation, what flick could possibly star a brooding British hunk and a pale crazy chick?

Unless, they turn “50 Shades of Grey” into a movie!
Only if you're a celebrity can you be eight months pregnant and still look hot enough to party with the most gorgeous vampire in Tinseltown. Why do I even bother getting out of bed anymore?

Sienna Miller looks ready to pop, not Jessica Simpson big, but still pretty damn pregnant, and partied the night away at Claridge’s hotel in London for Robert Pattinson’s 26th birthday.

If their friendship seems random, let me explain. Miller was raised in England and got her acting start there, like Pattinson. Also
How many more days until November 16, 2012 when “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” finally hits theaters? Exactly 204 days, but whose counting!?!!?

To tide over us Twihards (or two TWIDE us over, get it? GET IT?) until the movie comes out, Summit has offered up two new stills from the flick.

In photo number one we see Kristen Stewart - as Bella - as a newly formed vampire! She’s finally got the red-eyed glare like her lover boy Edward (as played by Robert Pattinson) and since she’s smiling, I’m going to assume she’s gotten past the newborn vampire period.
Going against greater logic, Lindsay Loha decided to leave the house. We all know this is how Lindsay gets into trouble, but hey, I guess she wanted to take a risk.

Lindsay has been staying at the Chateau Marmont, and she left her digs last night around midnight, headed for a new Parisian cocktail bar called Pour Vous. According to X17: “She met up with Robert Pattinson and two of his friends!”
Remember when Robert Pattinson shaved half his head over the summer for that movie he was shooting? Well, it was for the flick “Cosmopolis” and who even cares about that weird haircut, the Vampire heartthrob gets naked in the trailer! Several times! Hubba hubba!

The honeymoon scene in “Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 1” has nothing on the “Cosmopolis” teaser trailer.

In this 30-second spot we see R-Patz very nearly getting shot in the head by a naked woman. A scary naked gun toting woman and Pattinson goes...

This is going to have you tide you over for now, Twihards.

This grainy video features the first look at footage from the last and final installment of the new Twilight flick, “Breaking Dawn: Part Two.”

It's hard to hear what's being said in the trailer, since this is video of someone filming a video of the new trailer, but basically do you watch any of the Twilight films for the brilliant dialogue? The answer should be “no.”

Well said sir. Without Twilight, Robert Pattinson is just some guy with his eyes spaced very far apart. With Twilight, Robert Pattinson is an international vampire hottie that travels with a pack of screaming fans.

Speaking to The Herald Scotland, Robert Pattinson isn’t obsessed with his own hype, and kind of blames Twilight for ruining his anonymity.

“Doing something like Twilight opens doors and it closes others. You can say, ‘Oh if I was still unknown, then no one would judge me,” says Pattinson
