He wins the only 'Breaking Dawn, Part 2' award
"I put on a little weight," he joked to MTV News after the show. "I turned 21, recently, a couple months ago. The drinking just ... it was overboard. Metabolism stopped. It just went straight to the abdomen."
But Taylor planned the stunt because, you know, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, and he just didn't want to take the award too seriously. "One, I was so shocked to find out that the award was being televised. I was like, 'Wait, Best Shirtless Performance is gonna be on TV?' So I was like, I had to do something funny," he said.

Author Stephenie Meyer has been making the rounds talking about her latest film, "The Host."Do you have an eye obsession? In both Twilight and The Host, your characters end up with glowy eyes.
I don't know! It seems to come out a lot, right? I don't consciously do that, so I must really be into eyes. My brother's an optometrist, so I pick up on that. But by the time they had to wear the really awful contacts, everybody's miserable, and it's my fault. Although, in this, in The Host, it's not quite my fault. In the book, it's not as obvious, which would make it easier for the aliens to invade. It's only when you shine a light at them that you get an odd reflection, and you wouldn't know otherwise. But Andrew [Niccol, the director] wanted something very pronounced, so it's his fault. And it was hard, with the dust storms in the desert. We had lens techs out there constantly putting drops in their eyes, and it slows production down. We did that with Twilight, so many years of contacts and pain, crying and anguish. You think you would learn!
Apparently you got the cast T-shirts that said "Love Box" to describe the love triangle involving two-persons-in-one-body geometry.
I didn't know that was considered dirty in England! The boys came up with that. Anything dirty came from them. The thing I like particularly about Saoirse's portrayal of this, is that when you're writing it, these two characters are every bit as distinct as two characters in two different bodies. Writing it is one thing, portraying it is another, and Saoirse made it look really easy, and she has a different chemistry with each of the boys, so it's really easy to remember that these are two separate relationships. But it gets complicated, because there is a love triangle between Melanie and Wanda and Jared, and then there's another triangle between Wanda and Jared and Ian, so it goes all over the place.
Did writing this and producing the film help cure any post-Twilight depression you might have had?
I totally thought that was going to be a thing! I waited for it, and when it didn't happen, I thought, Oh, it's because we still have all this stuff ahead. We got to the last premiere, and it didn't hit. I felt nothing but relief. Analyzing that since then, I feel like it was because I was ready to walk from that world. I don't miss the characters. Now, I may someday feel like, "Oh, I miss Bella. I want to hang out with Alice" or something. But right now, I'm happy it was what it was, I'm happy to be done with it, and I don't feel any depression about it, which is nice. And it is nice to have another world to be excited about.

A Volturi and a Quileute shapeshifter join the sci-fi action series
Below Stewart's head shot is Daniel Cudmore, better known to us as Felix, the hulking Volturi vampire who beat up Edward in "New Moon." He is reprising his role as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus, the metal-bodied mutant from "X2" (2003) and "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006).
More from MTV:"The most revealing fact that Stewart revealed is that he's gained 50 pounds since January, and he is sporting much longer hair than normal. While we previously had Stewart pegged for Sunfire, the bulking up and long hair combo seems pretty Thunderbird-ish to us. Thunderbird was on our short list for inclusion in the latest X-Film, so this would be a pretty exciting development."
The 'Twilight' hunk is all beat up!
Robert Pattinson plays a denizen of the Outback in the near future, after a worldwide financial collapse has sent many like him running to the still viable mines of the Australian desert. “It’s like a new gold rush,” says Michôd. “Where people from all corners of the world have come out to the desert to scrape out an existence. Petty criminals and miscreants and hustlers.” Guy Pearce, who had an uncharacteristically reserved role in Animal Kingdom, gets to sink his teeth into a nicely nasty part opposite Pattinson. “The basic story is really quite elemental,” says Michôd. “You’ve got a really dark, dangerous, murderous person in Guy’s character, and in Rob’s character you have a quite troubled and damaged, but beautiful and naïve, soul.”
Of course, just by its setting and basic plot, The Rover is poised to draw comparisons to one of the antipodean country’s most memorable cinematic contributions. “You put cars in the desert in Australia and people are going to think of Mad Max,” says Michôd. “And with all due respect to that film — and I stress that — I think The Rover is going to be way more chillingly authentic and menacing.”
