Twilight fans go hard. They waited for weeks in the bitter cold for the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I movie premiere. Okay, it doesn't get that cold in Los Angeles, but I'm betting these guys would've waited through a blizzard just to watch Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart walk the black carpet.

Hollyscoop talked to Rob at the movie premiere about his role as Edward Cullen in the famous saga.

"You just try and give something back I guess," Pattinson said about rising to massive fame at a young age. "The only thing I know how to do is try and make better movies. If people like to see you in stuff you might try to make it as good as you can."

It's the day Twi-hards have been waiting for. In fact, some of them have been camping out since last week. It's finally here--the hot, headboard-smashing premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1.

Hollyscoop will be streaming live from the event, downtown at Los Angeles' Nokia Theater, where fans have been setting up camp to show their devotion to the series.

Twilight author Stephanie Meyer said: "There's not much I would sleep out on the street for. These people are pretty hardcore. The fact that even one person camps out for this is unbelievable to me."

The Twilight stars have cemented their place in Hollywood. No, they didn’t win an Oscar or do anything cool like that, but rather, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner placed their hands and feet into a plot of cement on the Walk of Fame near the Hollywood Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

This means something to tourists who think Hollywood and Highland is a “vacation destination.”

Like 250 movie stars that came before them, The Holy Twilight Trinity got down and dirty with a section of wet cement on Hollywood boulevard.

This handprint thing happened this morning in a ceremony that only lasted a few minutes. That’s what she said.

The Twilight Trifecta (Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson) are going to be stoned. And I'm not talking about the medieval or the marijuana variety.

The stars of the Twilight Saga are going to be immortalized in stone in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The landmark theater announced that the actors will have their handprints and footprints cast in cement along the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The trio will have their handprints and footprints molded in a ceremony on November 3, 2011. So if you are of the variety of crazies that camp outside the Twilight premiere for days on end in the hopes of glimpsing your favorite werewolf or vampire, then you might want to start readying your "Bite Me Robert Pattinson" signs and plan your stalking schedules accordingly

Taylor Lautner goes to dinner with a couple gay guys and has to prove his heterosexuality.

In a new interview with Australia's GQ magazine, The Twilight werewolf hunk discussed grabbing dinner with openly gay "Milk" director Gus Van Sant and "Milk" screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and says there's nothing gay about three men talking business over dinner.

"It's not a coincidence that there was a writer, a director and an actor at dinner," says Lautner. It's just three Hollywood types getting dinner. Nothing to see here.

When the QG writer asked if any of the men hit on him (which is the dumbest and also low-key homophobic thing to ask) Taylor responds, "No, definitely not. I think they know I'm straight."

Hollywood is really just a fancy version of speed dating. A-Listers date each other, break-up and then just date another A-Lister. So why can't we play matchmaker for them? Here are the single celebs that we think should date each other.

Blake Lively and Bradley Cooper: Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have finally split up, putting them both back on the market and I'm surprised Blake Lively hasn't dated Bradley Cooper already. Oh that's right, she was "dating" that third arm known as Penn Badgley for like ever. Now that Blake dated Leo that was kind of her introduction into dating A-Listers, so Bradley Cooper is the next logical step. He's dated everyone else, so why not date Blake?

Marc Anthony and Eva Mendes: Marc Anthony is heartbroken and newly single after his divorce from J.Lo and we know he likes Latin women, so why not get back at his ex by dating super hot Eva Mendes? Eva went on a "date" with Ryan Gosling, but I'm sure it wasn't anything serious, besides she dates randos like SNL actor Jason Sudeikis, so Marc Anthony is better than the next guy. If they got together it would probably end up being a fling anyways, so why the hell not?

He’s cute and all, but beating out George Clooney and David Beckham, really? That’s like naming the Cheesecake Factory as the world’s best food. Sure, it’s fine, but world’s best? It's kind of a stretch.

At any rate, Twilight star Robert Pattinson has been named the world’s sexiest man, and coming in second is his costar, Taylor Lautner. The Twi-hards have spoken. If Kellan Lutz is third, I’m gonna be really annoyed.

Editor Jo Elvin said: “Glamour editor Jo Elvin stated: "Over 40,000 Glamour readers cast their votes in the most hotly contested list of the year. And while the Twilight saga men continue to dominate our Sexiest Men list, Glamour readers have shown they have eclectic tastes to say the least - from silver fox, 50-year-old George Clooney, to a barely legal Justin Bieber.
Oh Kristen Stewart, if you weren’t dating Glamour magazine’s World’s sexiest man then I probably wouldn’t listen to you, but since you are, you must know what you are talking about.

Let’s start off this Kristen Stewart story by talking about her other (better) half. Robert Pattinson has topped Glamour’s 50 Sexiest men poll for the third year in a row.

Moving on. Kristen actually covered Glamour’s November issue and the usually tomboyish and foul mouthed Twilight star actually looked incredibly stunning.

Kristen and Rob’s relationship seems like it was ripped from the pages of an Urban Outfitters catalog, aka perfect. I mean, they adopted a dog together. That’s a big deal in these ultimately meaningless 20-something relationships. So Kristen doles out her relationship advice to Glamour, namely, don’t be an “a**hole.”

Do you ever watch a movie and think to yourself, "Hey that guy looks JUST LIKE that guy from that other movie!" Here are the stars who look almost identical to other stars. These are the top celeb doppelgangers that make us double take every time they step onto the red carpet.

Jennifer Aniston & Julianne Hough: Julianne Hough is that ballroom dancer from "Dancing With the Stars" whose been skyrocketing to fame for dating Ryan Seacrest and starring in the new "Footloose" remake. With her blown-out blonde locks and girl-next-door good looks, she is a dead ringer for a young Jennifer Aniston. With Hough on the rise and appearing in every single dance film, she could make her way into the romantic comedy genre and give Aniston a run for her money.

Taylor Lautner and Kris Humphries: Kim Kardashian's new husband Kris Humphries totally looks like he could be "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner's big brother, right? If the Twilight franchise needs more werewolves and if Kris Humphries ever gets sick of basketball, I think we have a match made in heaven. Lautner and Humphries both have those squinty eyes, flat eyebrows and close-cropped haircuts....

If you weren't already jealous of Justin Bieber, because of his near porcelain skin and swishy hair-do (what else is there?) get ready to cash in that 401K plan because your favorite hamster turned pop icon is the richest teen in Hollywood.

According to People Magazine's Hollywood teen rich list, Bieber tops the list raking in $53 million last year alone.

Usually 18-year-old Miley Cyrus tops that list since her Hannah Montana fame, but since her "Salvia is Legal!" bong escapades, she dropped down to the #2 spot raking in only $48 million. Do you know how much legal mind altering drugs she can buy with that cash?

Justin reportedly made all his money from the success of his 3D concert movie...
