The other night was the premiere for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. What is that, you ask? Lol JK hilarious. Anyway, there was a star-studded premiere featuring (duh) Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, plus like, 50 Cent? And basically everyone else in the universe. I will be withholding judgment on the actual film until Sunday at 11:10pm, when, um, I will apparently be seeing it, according to my ticket.

Until then, let us please analyze the outfits/postures/body language/hand placement of all of our favorite Twilight friends. Yay!

First up: Kristen Stewart


Hey, look who got dressed up all fancy! I think that sometimes people forget that despite her surly demeanor, Kristen Stewart is just... really pretty. (Which is why we allow her to be so surly in the first place.)  Yay for her. She looks nice.

Taylor Lautner
He almost creepily does not look like a 17-year-old. Especially when you see him as a THIRTEEN-year-old. Seriously, watch this video. It is amazing. Oh, but don't they look so cute here?

Robert Pattinson

I know that everyone, everywhere, is going to disagree with me on this, but I actually thought Robert Pattinson looked slightly strange. Like maybe an actual vampire? But what do I know, I have only read book one of this series.

Ashley Greene
This dress feels slightly too old for her, but Ashley Greene looks lovely anyway.

Dakota Fanning

This girl is perpetually age-appropriate. I approve of that quality. Also this outfit.

Jennifer Love Hewitt
Wait... what?  Why is she here?
 

Taylor Swift was on the cover of December's In Style magazine, and the teen country superstar (who recently racked up a crazy amount of awards at the CMAs) claims that she and Twilight's Taylor Lautner -- werewolf hunk and super-buff teen dream extraordinaire -- are totally not dating. She is happy to be single, she says, because it is by choice. And also because not having a boyfriend frees up her time for activities such as: writing in her diary, and lighting scented candles. O Swifty! That is too adorable. Excuse me while I go watch the totally Jane Austen-inspired video for Love Story. 

Former Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caitlin Upton may not know about many things -- like wars, or, uh, maps -- BUT, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, she does at least now know about... how babies are made. The talk show host sent her on a mission to learn about the facts of life -- and it ended, naturally, with Nadya Suleman aka Octomom. Check out the clip here and here. 

This is a fashion-world development I hadn't expected: Apparently Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will design a limited edition collection of high end jewelry for Asprey. The collection, inspired by snakes (I'm surprised the inspiration is not DAGGERS, frankly, but whatevs) will start at $525 -- for a silver baby spoon! -- will go on sale this week, and all proceeds will go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which was co-founded by Jolie in 2006, and which raises awareness and money toward the education of child victims of war, conflict, and natural disasters. Jolie released a statement over email about the cause: 

This week on Gossip Girl, there was a threesome, featuring Hillary Duff. There was also a Cotillion, featuring what I would consider to be a number of very un-debutante-like ball gowns. (Perhaps the ladies of Constance Billiard should have consulted with Sherri or Alisha Hill?) There were the usual Constance power politics, and the requisite ungodly volume of extensions as sported by Jenny Humphrey, and the standard wildly slutty habits of Serena Van Der Woodson. So! Business as usual! Now on to the threesome:

Last weekend, Taylor Swift hosted SNL, and in addition to every variety of sparkly dress imaginable (I can't find many stills but you can watch the episode here), there was also a lot of... you know, actual funniness, and the young Swift proved that she is a) endearing b) a really good singer whose ability to write catchy songs about very little is admirable, and c) a pretty decent actress! Swift started with an appropriately self-deprecating monologue, in which she sang a little song about boys (Taylor Lautner, douchebag exes, Kanye West) and her affinity for sparkles, and then proceeded to do harpy teen, herself, Kate Gosselin, deviant member of the law enforcement, and... Shakira -- her impression was spot on -- as the night went on. What more could one ask for in a 1 1/2 hour late-night television experience?  

"There's no answer that's not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: 'OK, we are. We aren't. I'm a lesbian.' I'm just trying to keep something. I'm not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don't you just f---ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?'"
