"Eclipse" director David Slade keeps Tweeting tantalizing tidbits from the set. Just enough to make Twifans everywhere wonder...

David Slade's Tweets

The paparazzi are bugging him! I wish the papz would leave the filming process alone so they can fully concentrate on making a fabulous film, instead of channeling energy into trying to keep the telephoto lenses from prying too closely.

David Slade is allergic to goats! I didn't know you could be allergic to goats.

More Volturi up-close-and-personal shots from "New Moon." Those red eyes really are creepy. Even in person, the actors looked a bit scary with the red eyes...something about them makes your animal instincts kind of slightly shudder.

Anna Kendrick at the Toronto International Film Festival

My friend Gregory Ellwood of HitFix had the privilege of a one-on-one with one of my favorite humans, Anna Kendrick (aka "Jessica Stanley" in the "Twilight" series), at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The accomplished actress (Tony Award nominee at age 12, whoa!) opened up about
"Up in the Air," her upcoming film with George Clooney, working with three directors in one year, and of course, "Twilight."

Q: You've been on Broadway and experienced the 'Twilight' phenomenon, but how nervous were your were you not to act with George Clooney?

I've never been more terrified in my life to do this movie. It was months of knowing and being terrified, but within five minutes of talking to him you realize how easy it's going to be and how easy he's going to make it for you. To not just meeting him and realizing he's another human being like the rest of us, I completely appreciate he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and to make you feel like you can do your job around him. I think that's a skill he's had to develop because he's been 'George Clooney' for a long time and he probably is aware of how people get around him. And he's a generous enough person and a generous enough actor to go out of his way to make you feel like whatever you have to do on the screen, he's going to make sure that happens.

Q: OK, the 'Twilight' questions you knew were coming. Did you shoot 'Air' after 'New Moon'

[Actually] I went to shoot 'New Moon' while I was still shooting 'Up in the Air.' I had to run back and forth.

Q: Was that hard?

It's funny because the characters are so different and I was wrapped up in Natalie world, but Jessica, the character that I play in the series, is such a silly girl it was almost like a little escape to go and just play and just monologue about nothing. Basically, I would go up to Vancouver and shoot a scene where something was [already] written, but [director] Chris Weitz would tell me to keep talking because we had to do all of it in one take as a 'walk and talk' and have it feel the space. So, he'd just tell me to say random stuff and it was like stretching in the middle of doing a marathon.

Q: Have you finished shooting 'Eclipse'?

I filmed a majority of what I do and I have like two more days left. My parts, the human characters get shrunk down [in "Eclipse"].

Ashley at the 2009 MTV VMAs
Fashion correspondent Ashley Greene rocked the red carpet in Dolce & Gabbana at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards. Vampire Fashionista!

Here she is getting some scoop from Taylor Lautner, looking very dapper in his slate grey Calvin Klein suit.


Another pic of Rob backstage. I guess you can't take the elevator down or the stairs up.

MTV has a shot-by-shot breakdown of the latest "New Moon" trailer here. It's a very well done detailed description of every second, because every second counts!

They also take an in-depth look at the trailer:

Who Is That Dude?
At 0:02 to 0:04, we see a long-haired man being judged and then killed by the Volturi. Going on the period clothes worn by the Volturi and the man, this could be a flashback scene. Also, look very closely in the background, and you'll see a period-dressed Carlisle Cullen with his hands folded -- another clue that this shot must be from the flashback scene of Carlisle meeting the (fully-clothed) Volturi back in the day. Any theories on who the murdered man is, or is he just a hapless victim?

Bella Likes to Watch
It's a small point, but one worth noting: Look closely around 1:56, and you'll see Bella in the background, looking on as Laurent battles the wolves.

Look Out, Charlie!
Take a good look at 1:51, and you'll see Charlie Swan wandering through the forest with some police pals as a threatening figure drops down from the trees behind him. Odds are, it's Victoria.


See the whole article here.

Here are some trailer stills, for your viewing pleasure!

Bella and Jacob with their bikes. No helmets, yikes.

I love her hallucination underwater of Edward. Though I'm not so sure why he's upside down.

Umm, uhh, err, mmm, ohhh...fnar... (Thanks to @Lorabell for that awesome word!)

Rob, Kristen, and Taylor at the MTV VMAs

Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner presented a new and extended trailer from "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards:


(Psst! See the trailer bigger and in HD here!)

Some backstage pics from MTV.

That's all there is, folks. Rob and Kristen didn't walk the red carpet or do interviews, so no photos from that. Taylor did talk to co-star Ashley Greene on the red carpet, though--I'll post on that later.

Bella in "New Moon"

Happy Birthday, Bella!
Sorry it turned out to be a rotten day. That paper cut really put
a major downer on everything. Your almost brother-in-law tried to eat you,
then your boyfriend dumped you in the woods soon after. Yeah, total bummer.
But hey, it all worked out in the end, right?
You got your happy ending after all. Yay :)

RadarOnline has some photos of Taylor doing a scene on a motorcycle.

I don't know who the woman is--could she be Kristen's stunt double?

Is this Jacob waiting for Bella across the street from her school?

I had to give Team Jacob some goods today; I hope I delivered!
