No brownie points for guessing really. Fans contributed millions of box office bucks for the recent release of New Moon to mint. And now its time for the New Mooners to pay them back on the Turkey Day.

What could have been better than a couple of Tweets from the stars themselves? Dream come true? Yes, that’s what many of the fans feel. The official Summit Twitter page reflected Tweets from Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Now that must be an unforgettable early holiday treat for Twi-hards around the world.

With New Moon creating box office records of all time, there could have been no better Thanksgiving gift ever for the Twilight fans. Edward, Bella and Jacob let the real-life shout-outs keep flowing.

You could just be one of those who helped “New Moon” break all box office records by milking worldwide ticket sales worth $258.8 million in over the past weekend. May be you are one of those crazy Twilight fans who broke into the book store to grab each part of Stephanie Meyer’s gripping vampire series as soon as it hit the store. May be you have gulped down each and every word from the whole series and adopted it wholly. May be the wolfs and vampires have become a part of your everyday life by now and you might have started considering it as not just a form of entertainment but a mindset and a way of life.

Or you could be just one of those unfortunate who is wondering what all the fuss is about.

Let me now get to the point straight. Either way, it reflects your curiosity towards the film. It shows that you want to know more about the story and more importantly the

Either way, you’re probably curious to learn more about the actors and actresses who turned Stephanie Meyer’s tale of vampire felt everywhere around you. So lets stir you up a bit.

Let me introduce you to some of the gumptious “New Moon” stars:

Robert Pattinson: Edward Cullen

Robert Pattinson’s towering fame left everyone intoxicated. As Edward Cullen, the 23 year old star exhibited power over the vampire sect. His sex appeal made him the biggest heartthrob in no time at all and even before he could realize this British star was ruling the real world too with his charm. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, last week, Rob said that a female fan “frantically started taking her clothes off” after he joked to a crowd of autograph seekers that stripping was a definite way to grab his attention. The coveted hero is surely seeked like vampires crave blood.

Kristen Stewart: Bella Swan

Bella Swan, the girl who belongs to Cullen and only Cullen, is also linked to him in real life. The onscreen couple had been making headlines with romancing rumors. Stewart plays Bella, in the “Twilight” franchise, a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire.  Like her growing popularity in the Twilight series in real life as well Stewart continues to be on the top. She recapitulates the role of Bella in Twilight’s 3rd installment, “Eclipse”, and is preparing to play rocker Joan Jett in “The Runaways”.

Taylor Lautner: Jacob Black

The 17 year old Taylor Launter surprised everyone beyond belief with his role as Jacob Black. Launter plays a childhood friend of Bella who lends her great support after Edward leaves in “New Moon”. He is then changed into a warewolf. “The thing is, I love this character, I love this story, and putting on the weight and not wearing much clothing was required by the role. A year from now, if I love a story and I love a character that requires me to lose 40 pounds, I’m ready to do it”, Launter was quoted as saying to Film.com.

Dakota Fanning: Jane

Dakota Fanning handled the spot lights and attention with elan. The 15 year old most promising child star froze the audience first with her performance in 2001’s “I Am Sam”. Fanning plays the role of Jane, who is a part of Volturi trained on to torture the cult’s enemies. “It’s really kind of one of the first times I’ve played the bad character, the villain figure in a movie. It was just really great to get to have the red contact lenses and the vampire makeup and get to have an evil persona, a creepy persona”, Fanning told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview mentioning how thoroughly she enjoys her evil role.

Nikki Reed: Rosalie Hale

Rosalie Hale, played by Nikki Reed, is a Cullen family member who scorns Bella. In an interview with MTv, during the making of “New Moon”, Reed said “My hair fell out”, since she had to dye her brunette hair blond for the role in “Twilight”. “It took 36 hours initially to make me blond, and every other day, I was bleaching my head and my skin. This time around, we are testing out different wigs and stuff”, she added.

Stop slamming poor Lambert. He just happened to kiss someone from the same sex during his final performance at American Music Award on Sunday.

Over 1,500 complaints have kept pouring in on Monday against the American Idol Adam Lambert. The singer is charged with a kissing act with a male keyboard player during his performance. Besides, it was way beyond ABC’s expectation for one of Lambert’s dancers to stick his face in the singer’s crotch while he sang the S&M-themed performance of “For Your Entertainment”. The act was edited by the channel as the awards show was broadcast on a tape-delayed basis on the West Coast on Sunday.

“A lot of what I do is kind of freestyle. That’s how it was on ‘Idol.’ That’s how I perform. I like to have a framework, and just do stuff. So that kind of came about because of the connection that I had with that dancer”, the dancer explained to The Associated Press about the choreography.

Shart comments that sounded more hostile circulated online about the “American Idol” glam rocker’s performance. While Lambert followed the song’s lyrical theme, “It’s about to get rough for you”, he started to fondle one dancer and briefly pulled two dancers around on a leash.

Back in 2003, Madonna and Britney Spears briefly locked lips during the MTV Video Music Awards, raved similar outrage among the fans. Lambert had been openly gay and spoken about how provocative male performers could be onstage. There is no reason why the American Idol winner should be so largely criticized for an act of his choice.

In an interview with CNN, the singer told he is hurt and that his kiss was “in the moment”. Lambert also added that if if people were upset about it, “That’s a form of discrimination and it’s too bad”.

Timothy Winters, president of the Parents Television Council exclaimed that the people whole complained about Lambert’s kissing act are outraged and, “They just can’t believe the nature of the content, the explicit nature, and how much graphic content there was”.

Winters also added, “”These programs are wholly unsuitable for children now and it’s pathetic, given the amount of economic support that children and teenagers bring to the industry today”.

Ken Tucker, an entertainment Weekly writer, was sensible enough to speak in support of the singer.  He praised Lambert for raising the popularity of the show and for being “an event unto himself”. “As a TV viewer, I thought Lambert’s performance was a gas, a delight, a blast of brash vulgarity in the midst of merely ordinary vulgarity”, he also added.

Matthew Gilbert, a Boston Globe television critic, thought the act to he “pretty harmless”. He wrote on a blog, “It’s all posing and mugging and selling, not real honest provocation”.

Lambert was later quoted as saying in an interview with AP, “I had fun, my dancers had fun, the audience that was in the Nokia (Theatre) had fun. Anybody else who was watching it and enjoying it, thank you for being entertained. There are a lot of double standards as far as that goes. We’ve seen female pop and rock performers do that for the last 10 years. They’ve been very provocative, owning their power and sexuality. You just don’t see men doing it very often. And I’m hoping to break down that double standard with this number”.

This isn’t surprising at all. At a memorabilia auction held on Saturday, Michael Jackson’s famous white glove was sold for $350,000. Another black jacket the King of Pop wore during a 1989 world tour fetched $225,000. Although the auction constituted of hundreds of rock ‘n’ roll items, including many not associated with the Pop King, yet Jackson memorabilia stole all the limelight.

The white glove of the late pop star was referred as “the Holy Grail of Michael Jackson” by Darren Julien, CEO of Julien’s Auctions, the organization that ran the auction. A pre-sale estimation for the master piece was about $50,000, which was surpassed by large counts. Hoffman Ma, who is a Hong Kong based business man, paid $420,000 as the final price along with the added commission (excluding taxes).

Jackson’s black, strap and zipper-laden jacket that he wore during the 1989 “Bad” tour was sold at $275,000 including commission. The bidding soared to $225,000, which is 20 times higher than what was estimated earlier.

Huge fans as well as dealers gathered at Times Square, New York’s Hard Rock Cafe for the auction. The primary attractions of the sale also included a car driven by Jackson, a guitar of David Bowie and memorabilia from the Beatles to Bo Diddley.

Jazmynn Moore, a 19 year old student from Manhattan, said, “I never got to see Michael, and now that he’s gone this is the closest I could get”.

The white glove of MJ was worn by the King of Pop during the 1983 Motown 25 television special when he first staged the famous moonwalk dance. The opening bid for the glove was $10,000, which immediately leaped to $120,000 before finally closing it at $350,000.

There were about 80 items belonging to Jackson that mostly comprised of items donated by family and friend to whom Jackson had gifted the items. A sum of about $100,000 was collected by selling Jackson’s belongings from the auction, which is close to 20 times the estimates.

Ever wondered why celeb faux pas are the most talked about news pieces? Because they have juice. A taste of rebelliousness. A taste of abnormality. People love everything that takes a path away from normal. The moral police, though, stand up and raise their hands in protest. This is what happened this year in the American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on the 22nd of this month. This Sunday night brought those moments which are still being talked about and being googled and youtubed and twittered, and of course blogged. Let us visit those moments too in this blog!

Faux Pas one is the fall. Jennifer Lopez while performing on stage had an almost terrible accident. Louboutins, the Pop diva’s new single, was being performed with a number of dancers and acts. During one of these acts, J-Lo lost her balance after jumping from the top of the human-stairs. That must been embarrasing huh?! But she didn’t show it. She went on performing the routine after that. Later, while talking to the press, she said “that was part of the choreography”. Really? That is difficult to believe!
This piece of news has got the maximum “view count” on youtube. More than 750,000 have viewed her 13 second fall video on youtube. Also, there are many blogs that have given a link to the whole act and it was disabled because of copyright claims by Dick Clark Productions, the AMA producers.

The second faux pas has pulled more than 6,500 results from googlenews. Type ‘Adam Lambert’ in a few days from today and he might just cross the 7 figure search result that google gives in his name. Because, this “happily gay guy” believes in the “freedom of expression and artistic integrity”. His new single, “For Your Entertainment” says so and so does he in his performance at the AMA. His performance included quite some vulgar moments that might have been “funny” for the nondescripts, “artistic freedom and expression” for Lambert and his fans, but “indecent or profane material” for the Federal Communications Commission. Reuters reported that ABC television received over 1,500 complaints for this “sexually-charged performance”. Michael Slezak from the Entertainment Weekly well describes this performance as “a carefully planned stab at dominating the post-AMA blogosphere/water-cooler discussion.”
In conclusion to this faux pas, a question might arise, did Lambert wow the people or did he initiate a tow for himself? That will depend on FCC, if they really will fine the channel and him or not.

Our last faux pas for AMA, 2009, is a now normal one. ‘Now normal’, because it seems like in every awards show there is always one or some of the celebs that go the “malfunction” way with her or their wardrobe. But, surprisingly, it is always an eyebrow raiser. This time, this crime was committed by Kate Hudson. Her plunging neckline was more than just plunging, more like winging actually! When she came on stage to announce the Black Eyed Peas performance next, with Nicole Kidman, her silver “glitzy” dress made heads turn and mobile phones active.
It is high time that Kate Hudson and all wardrobe malfunctioners to understand that these ceremonies might not be the best place for skin shows.

Faux pas over. But is that all?
Is it not that award ceremonies are about awards and winners and great performances? Why then do these social blunders get so much footage?
The reality is that they get footage. People watch them. Read them and talk about them. And later forget about them! That’s it.

According to recent reports by reliable sources, Oprah Winfrey will end her talk show in 2011. The queen of the television had to take such a decision to bring an end to the most popular talk show on television, the Oprah Winfrey Show, since her current contract with the channel is running out.

The Oprah Winfrey Show, which is now on its 25th year featuring Winfrey as host of the talk show, is scheduled to end on September 9th, 2011. Running since 1984, the format of the show was changed a number of times only to increase its popularity and viewers. Its a dream for every celebrity to appear at least once in their lifetime on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

After the current contract runs out, the age old popular talk show will come to end. The official announcement by the television queen will be made on her show on Friday and will be telecast on every television channel that carry her the Oprah Winfrey Show.

It is also expected that after this the show will get an ultimate opportunity remain at the top till its last episode.

According to reports, even after the ratings went down this year, the Oprah Winfrey Show is still continues to be the most watched talk show on television. The report also suggest that over seven million people watch her show every day. Such a huge number of audience has helped her to secure the #1 spot for quite some time.

After Winfrey takes a retirement, Rachael Ray and Ellen DeGeneres seems to be the most appropriate successors on television. Although nothing has been decided as yet.

Johnny Depp has been irresistible, not only for his fans but also for the People Magazine, it seems. The 46 year old actor is People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” for the second time.

Upsetting quite a large number of teenage beauties, Depp overtook the Twilight hunk Rob Pattinson to win the People magazine’s sought after title. Like Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Richard Gere, the other double winners of the coveted endorsement, Depp had bagged the title earlier in 2003.

The senior editor at People, Kate Coyne, explained the reason behind choosing Depp for the title on CBS’ Early Show Wednesday by adding, “Johnny Depp was someone who was sexy 10 years ago. He’ll be sexy 10 years from now. He appeals to multiple generations of women — and for many different reasons to different kinds of women”.

People magazine also described the flamboyantly adventurous “Pirates of the Caribbean” star as “the king of cool with the killer cheekbones”. The 46 year old Depp, succeeded the 2008 winner Hugh Jackman this year.

Depp was seen ruling the screen with roles like 1930s gangster John Dillinger in “Public Enemies” and the murderous London barber “Sweeney Todd” in the recent past. In his forthcoming film, “Alice in Wonderland”, the actor will be seen in the role of the Mad Hatter. The film, directed by Tim Burton, is due for release in March 2010.

An overwhelmed Coyne said, “He’s sort of everything. He’s a guy’s guy, kind of a bad boy, he’s a respected artist and actor. You know, he’s got a little bit of everything”.

The previous winners of People’s sexiest man alive title include Matt Damon (2007), Matthew McConaughey (2005), Jude Law (2004) and Ben Affleck (2002).

People’s sexiest men alive issue featuring the 2009 winner, Johnny Depp, hits newsstands on Friday.

The biggest heartthrob and “The Sexiest Man Alive”, Robert Pattinson, said the crowed was much larger than the previous year’s and this they had expected. “And it seems different to me because we have done this world tour in the last week and it has just been unbelievable in every single city. It is about 10 times bigger than any other city in the world”, the star, who plays Edward Cullen in the movie, added.

Michael Lohan have had his turn and now its his daughter Lindsay to flash her bit of rivalry. Daddy Lohan has done his course of releasing new recordings from his personal hoard of family phone calls on Radar Online and now daughter Lohan is following his pathway by saying, “I hate him so much”.

Lindsay Lohan has found her own way of letting her father know what exactly she thinks about him. But this time without dialing his digits. The 23 year old actress choose not to be much different from what her father did. She too took her troubles to a gossip site like Michael Lohan.

“I hate him so much”, began the actress as she mouthed off to Gossip Cop. “My father knows nothing other than how to sell stories for money instead of getting a real job like normal people do, including myself”, Lindsay also added.

Its not only LiLo who is upset with Michael Lohan. Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mother is equally upset with what Michael did by leaking the taped material to a gossip site.

“The tapes were from a long time ago, and for a father to stoop this low is unforgivable. My ex-husband has been in and out of jail for 10 years. My children and I gave him a chance to get to know them again, and he clearly blew that chance!” Dina Lohan told E! News.

The “Twilight: New Moon” stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Launter finally landed in Tokyo for the promotion of the film. New Moon will hit the theaters on November 20th. The stars have been recently all over from Vancouver to Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Brazil and finally to Tokyo promoting their film. And all these in less than a week’s time. Well, it almost requires a vampires sleeping habit to carry on with such a routine.

Rob, Stewart and Launter arrived in Japan early Tuesday morning. The photographs of the stars soon were all over the internet. The most handsome vampire on screen arrived at the press conference in a sharp dark suit. The 23 year old actor spoke about their forthcoming release, New Moon, at the event sponsored by Volvo.

All the three tried too look less tired but it seems that they only get to sleep once in a “New Moon”. Rob, Stewart and Launter have been really busy with their last minute promotion of Twilight’s first sequel to be released on 20th November.

Pattinson, the heartthrob of millions across the globe, wore a charcoal suit, a deep chocolate shirt, brown striped skinny tie and fit brown shoes. Ahem! Rob is a perfect Englishman, no doubt about that! Kristen Stewart flaunted a short black leather-esque number with a fitted bodice, barely-there straps and a jagged ivory hem. Bella surely looked romantic and sensuous! Taylor Lautner simply stole the hearts of all those present all in black.
