The fans (and fangs) were out Thursday night for the AMC Loews 34th Street midnight premiere of 'Twilight Saga: New Moon.' The film phenomenon brought out Twi-Hards from all over New York City for three sold-out shows. PopEater was there to catch the pandemonium and chat with fans about the movie. We also checked out the scene in St. Louis, Missouri, where fans anxiously waited in line at Ronnie's 20 Cinema.

There may be a rift between members of Team Edward and Team Jacob, but there was one thing they were all looking forward to: seeing the two heartthrobs lose their shirts. Watch the video below!

The ladies of PopEater discuss 'New Moon,' Adam Lambert's... thrilling... performance at the AMAs, Jon and Kate's last hurrah - and what's to come for celebs in the next decade, all with special guest Kate Spencer of TheFabLife.com.

By now, everyone knows that 'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner beefed up big time for 'New Moon.' What they may not really know is exactly how he feels about his character and the series ... until now. Lautner opens up to Rolling Stone magazine about his Jacob character and how he deals with being the wedge between the romance of Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson).

With 'New Moon' pulling in unbelievable numbers in its first day, and fans camping out for half a week to get a ticket, it's pretty clear that there is no stopping this vampire juggernaut. The third chapter in the 'Twilight' series, 'Eclipse' is in post-production, and already, its stars are getting recognized on the street. Popeater got a chance to chat with Kirsten Prout, who plays Lucy, one of the vamps who turned Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) back in 1863. Prout gave us a few details (she's going to be in period clothing) and told us that her role is going to be a little different than it is in the novel. She also weighed in on the Vatican's condemnation of the series, the trash talk from Miley Cyrus and the amazing amount of attention paid to the Kristin Stewart/Robert Pattinson romance rumors.

'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opens on Friday. Of course, you already know this unless (a) you've been living under a rock or (b) you have no interest in teenage love stories centered around vampires and werewolves -- which seems like the more likely scenario considering the human mortality rate of under-rock living.

Buffy vs. Edward and Sexism

As bloodlust for the follow-up to 2008's wildly successful vampire romance 'Twilight' reaches a fever pitch, it's nearly impossible to turn on the TV or pass the newsstand without seeing stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart staring back. These star-crossed lovers (and real-life are-they-or-aren't-they couple) have a knack for working fans into a frenzy while dropping some seriously juicy soundbites along the publicity trail. In honor of 'New Moon''s hotly anticipated release, we've rounded up the pair's 10 most memorable quotes.

'Twilight' fans sure do love their favorite character's chief characteristics, and right up their with Edward's sparkling skin, you must surely add Charlie Swan's fine mustache. The 'stache has a life of it's own on the internet (with an appreciative Facebook page for starters), and there were a number of signs paying homage to the glorious growth at 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' premiere on Monday night. "It was a choice I made early on," a freshly-shaven Billy Burke told PopEater about the 'stache's prominent role in the film. "Now I'm stuck with it. I gotta grow it every time."

Ashley Greene turned heads at the 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' premiere, but at what cost did her stunning promotional tour looks come? For starters, Greene did a marathon fitting for her lengthy press tour to account for some 40 knock-out items.

"It took 8 1/2 hours," she admits to PopEater. Even so, she still had her stylist scrambling for a dress the night before the big premiere. "At my house, I decided I didn't like [my dress] anymore," Greene said on Monday evening at the premiere. "Today they had to entirely tailor this dress."

Robert Pattinson was wary about having to take his shirt off for a scene in the upcoming 'Twilight' sequel 'New Moon.'

"I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease," the actor, who plays vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen, told Parade.

"But here's the irony, it was also one of the moments where I've really felt closest to people's emotional attachment to Edward," he continued.
