NBC confirms that Taylor Lautner will be hosting "Saturday Night Live" on December 12, with musical guests Bon Jovi. [Maybe that's why Richie Sambora was at the
"New Moon" premiere...]

I would be almost 100% sure that the SNL writers will come up with at least one skit where Taylor has to show off that famous eight-pack ("Don't worry Bella, it's just vomit," as he stands up and whips it off, Chippendale's style). And there has got to be at least another skit that spoofs "New Moon." I wonder if Taylor Swift, who hosted just a couple weeks ago, will make a guest appearance.

MTV's The Hollywood Crush has come up with a few sketch ideas for Taylor Lautner, including a Cougar's Den episode (please do a cameo, Courteney Cox Arquette!) and another that addresses the issue of what happens to their briefs/boxers when a guy phases into a wolf. Check out the article here.

SNL will still be in "Twilight" mode the following week, when James Franco is host and the musical guest is Muse, the only band who has earned a spot on both the "Twilight" and "New Moon" soundtracks.

Entertainment Weekly chatted up Tish Monaghan, the costume designer for "New Moon" and "Eclipse." Does she dish on whether Edward Cullen is a boxers or briefs guy? Or if they needed the Jaws of Life to remove the wolf pack's snug denim cut-offs? Well, no. But she does talk about a lot of other very interesting costume-related issues!

Some juicy bits about costuming Robert Pattinson:

At the very beginning of the film, he has one school outfit, and then there’s Bella’s birthday party and disaster strikes. So Edward ends up in that same costume for the remainder of the film. I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.

So I found a modern contemporary look that would be appealing to him and to the massive fan base, a very slim cut, and a fabric that to me was a bit Old World — this beautiful tweed fabric that we got out of England. It had the gray base, which is kind of essential for the Cullen characters in their cool tones, but also had little interesting flecks of blue, which is also Cullen, and a tiny little bit of rust, which I liked because Bella wears earth tones and that kinda linked her into the picture.

When he goes to sacrifice himself, he’s in disrepair. Robert and Chris wanted his shirt to have a rip across the chest, so that’s what we gave him. It’s really kind of tragic to watch him take off his shirt, because he really is sacrificing himself. It looks like he’s just giving up. He’s exposing himself and he’s completely vulnerable, and he just takes his shirt off and he drops it at his feet with his eyes downcast. Then he gets attacked by Bella, who shoves him inside the doors. [Laughs] I don’t find it like a beefcake moment. It really is a moving moment, and I think Robert did a really amazing job for that scene.

And more juicy bits...this time on Taylor and the wolf pack:

They wanted the shorts as close-fitting to the leg as possible, whereas the natural tendency of the guys would be to have something baggier so that they didn’t look like they were wearing hot pants. [Laughs] So if I knew they were going to morph, then they had tighter-fitting shorts, and if they didn’t have to morph, then we would give them something a little bit looser and longer. There were lots of Levi’s, American Eagle, Old Navy. Quite honestly, I tried to shop where I figured the wolves would shop. [Laughs] So we went to Wal-Mart.

Everything was geared towards making sure that his [Taylor's] arm muscles really showed. There’s a scene where he’s working on a motorcycle, and his muscles are really pulling against this plaid shirt he’s wearing. He looks very strong and very built, and we tried to do the same with this T-shirts. There was no way since it was the same actor that we could show somebody that had grown like six inches. So it was Chris Weitz’s genius idea to tailor his clothes, to make the sleeves a little bit shorter, a little bit tighter — make it look as if he’d grown out of his clothes in a couple of months and hadn’t had time to go get new ones.

There's a whole lot more on the Volturi and the Cullen women. Read it all here.

This week's Entertainment Weekly features three covers, letting you choose whether you'll pick up the Team Edward, Team Bella, or Team Jacob issue.


An excerpt from this issue, which hits the stands on November 27:

“I DON’T KNOW HOW THE BEATLES FELT BUT I IMAGINE IT WAS CLOSE TO THIS,” ROB PATTINSON TELLS ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

NEW YORK – Hot off the tail of the New Moon premiere, this week’s Entertainment Weekly explores the phenomenon that is the Twilight series.

Chris Weitz opens the door to his beach house looking like a wilted rose. He’s unshaven, pale and wearing clothes he appears to have found wadded in a ball on his bedroom floor. It’s exactly the way you’d expect to find the director the morning after his movie The Twilight Saga: The New Moon opened around the world to numbers no one thought possible. But Weitz isn’t recovering from a long night of revelry. He’s just exhausted. In the last ten days, he’s been in more time zones than the sun, on the last stretch of promotional duties for his movie. “I’m at the point of physical collapse,” says Weitz, 40. “Hopefully I will now lapse into obscurity. That’s my plan.”

Lucky Giuliana Rancic of E! had some brief stage time with Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson during the "New Moon" world premiere on November 16.

Cute interview with our favorite vampire and werewolf on the BBC's "The 5:19 Show." She asks them some fun questions. See if you can guess what Rob and Taylor wear to sleep, birthday suit or pajamas?
