While the werewolf-vampire cold war wages on, the armies of Team Edward and Team Jacob have temporarily set aside their differences to come together to celebrate one momentous occasion: the premiere of “Eclipse”!






Earlier this week, Twilighters began camping out in the California sun outside of the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles where the third “Twilight” installment will premiere this Thursday.

“We’ve been here for three days, and we are braving the sun, which is kind of evil,” Cherylyn from Littlerock, California, told MTV News on Tuesday. (Those of you not camping out can still get a great view of the red-carpet action when MTV News live-streams the premiere Thursday at 9:30 p.m. ET.)



One Twilighter admitted that things got off to a rough start, as everyone jockeyed for position. “The first day, the vibe was very negative,” Jaylyn Sachette said. “Everybody was pushing and shoving and yelling at each other. But once we got wristbands and our spot in line, everything kind of chilled out, and now we’re all making friends.”

But fans from all over the world were willing to tough it out, sleeping on the hard ground while being bombarded all night and day by ads from the surrounding Jumbotrons. “I flew all the way from Sweden to L.A. just to be here and support Kristen and Rob and ‘Eclipse,’ ” Sara Mendoza said.

Though they’re excited for the movie, many are holding out hope that they’ll get a glimpse of their favorite stars on the red carpet.

“We’re going to try and get autographs,” Sarah Freas said. “I would love to talk to them, be like, ‘We love you!’ ”

Her friend Ben Williams agreed. “Yeah, just get autographs, basically. [Getting] a picture would be cool, but I don’t think we’ll be close enough.”

And although the Twi-hards have been obsessing over the chance to meet their idols for days, many confessed they might get too overwhelmed to speak if they actually got the chance.

“If I saw Edward, or Robert,” said fan Molly Jank, as she held a life-size cutout of RPattz, “I would cry. Then I would make him sign something, and then I would tell him that I would see him later because I’m marrying him.”

Christina Aguilera's Bionic enters The Billboard 200 at #3. It's the pop veteran's fourth consecutive studio album to debut in the top five, though it fell short of her first three releases, all of which debuted at #1 or #2. Bionic sold 111,000 copies in its first week, which is less than one-third of what Aguilera's last studio album, Back To Basics, sold in its first week in August 2006 (346,000). And that was a two-disc album.





Granted, sales aren't what they were in 2006. But just in the past 12 months, 12 albums by female stars have managed bigger openings. And not all of these women are hot newcomers, such as Susan Boyle and Ke$ha. Five of the female artists who have gotten off to faster starts in the past year have been around even longer than Aguilera (Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige and Monica).

The disappointing showing of "Not Myself Tonight," the first single from the album, is taking a toll. The song entered the Hot 100 at #23 in the May 1 issue, but dropped out of the top 40 the following week. Last week, it dropped off the chart altogether.

By contrast, "Genie In A Bottle," the first single from Aguilera's eponymous 1999 debut album, logged five weeks at #1. "Ain't No Other Man," the lead single from her last studio album, Back To Basics, hit #6. "Keeps Gettin' Better," the single from Aguilera's 2008 hits compilation of the same name, reached #7.

A dud first single was the last thing Aguilera needed as she set out to compete with the new female stars who have emerged in the nearly four years since her last studio album. Chief among them: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Ke$ha.

This doesn't mean it's all over for the album. "Dirrty," the first song released from Aguilera's second album, Stripped, stalled at #48. And then "Beautiful," the second song from the album, rose to #2 and brought Aguilera a Grammy. Aguilera may have better luck with the title song, "Bionic," which enters the Hot 100 at #66 this week.

Aguilera is off to a faster start in the U.K., where Bionic debuts at #1. It's her second studio album in a row to start out at #1 in that key market.

"California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg this week becomes the first song to top the 300,000 mark in digital sales more than once in 2010. The summertime smash sold 359,000 copies, up from last week's 318,000. "California Gurls" is the first song to top 300K more than once since Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," both of which did it in the last two chart weeks of 2009. (Digital sales always swell over the holidays, as fans redeem gift cards.) The only songs to top 300K more than once without the built-in bump of a holiday week are Flo Rida's "Right Round" (which did it four times in 2009) and the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" (which did it twice last year).

As is known, Paul Gray, 38, was found dead in a hotel room on the outskirts of Des Moines, Iowa, United States on May 25 last. A hotel worker told the 911 operator that the syringe and pills found near the body of Gray is also found in the room.

Without a doubt, one of the most talked-about moments of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards was Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s acceptance “speech” for winning the Golden Popcorn for Best Kiss. Fans loved the quick, awkward kiss Pattinson grabbed from Stewart onstage, but when MTV caught up with him backstage afterwards, he admitted that the stunt didn’t work out the way they’d planned.





Apparently Pattinson had other ideas for ways the two “Twilight” stars could accept the award, so when MTV News caught up with Stewart at the press junket for “Eclipse,” we couldn’t resist asking her about them.

“He did have some pretty funny ones,” she admitted. But when asked if she regretted not acting on any of Pattinson’s ideas, she responded, “No, no, definitely not. I’m really glad that we didn’t do his.”
What was Pattinson’s best suggestion, you might ask? It seems as if he took a page right out of the book of his upcoming film “Water for Elephants” for this one.

“He wanted to be hula hooping with a match in his mouth, and then he wanted to light a match while I was juggling and he was hula hooping, and he wanted to put it in my mouth and see if we could make our way over to each other … it didn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me,” Stewart said with a laugh. “I was like, ‘I can’t juggle onstage in shoes. I can barely walk up the stairs.’ ”

Stewart didn’t even make it to the stairs this year before she almost fell when she went up with Pattinson to accept the Best Kiss award. At least it was a bit more coordinated than last year’s Movie Awards, when Stewart dropped her Golden Popcorn statue for Best Female Performance during her acceptance speech.

“What’s really funny is I really, really don’t try to do that stuff. I try to be [smooth]. This year especially, I was like, I’m just going to give them exactly what they want, I’m going to be totally cool, I’m going to thank everybody,” she said. “I got up there, and I was like, ‘Chris directed the movie, and he’s awesome. Thanks.’ And I had to get off, like that.”

Comparisons between superstar Angelina Jolie and ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra might seem hyperbolic, but they’ll soon be literal: After speculation about Jolie’s possible casting as Cleopatra lit up the Net on Thursday, Us Weekly reported Friday (June 11) that the actress will indeed portray Cleopatra on the big screen.





Jolie will appear in an upcoming historical biopic based on the soon-to-be-published “Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life,” publisher Little, Brown confirmed to UsMagazine.com. On Thursday, it was reported that movie producer Scott Rudin, who has been behind hit films like “Julie & Julia,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Doubt,” obtained the rights to the tome.

Little, Brown publisher Michael Pietsch said Jolie’s regal nature was one of the main reasons she was cast. “Angelina Jolie radiates grace and power, exactly the qualities that [author] Stacy Schiff finds in her biography of the most intriguing ruler who ever lived,” Pietsch told Us.

In an interview with the New York Daily News, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Schiff echoed Pietsch’s sentiments, saying, “I think she’d be perfect for it, and I can see a possible Oscar in her future.”

Hollywood has already brought Cleopatra’s story to the silver screen several times. The most well-known flick about the legendary ruler is the 1963 epic “Cleopatra,” which starred real-life couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Taylor took on the title role opposite Burton as her lover and Roman politico Mark Antony.

This summer, fans can catch Jolie in the spy thriller “Salt,” set to hit theaters in July.

Unlike most artistes in the music industry, pop sensation Afgan Syah Reza stumbled upon fame in a most unexpected way. He was talent-spotted in 2007 after a visit to an instant recording studio to make a karaoke CD with friends. It turned out that the studio had just become a label called Wanna B Music Production, and they were so taken with his soulful and powerful vocals that they offered him a record deal.





Their instincts proved right, and Afgan's first album, Confession No. 1 (2008), gave us hits such as "Terima Kasih Cinta" (Thank You Love) and "Sadis" (Cruel), both of which staked a claim on many music charts.

Afgan went on to win six awards; among them were the prestigious 2008 MTV Indonesia Awards (Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist), 2008 Nickelodeon Indonesian Kids’ Choice Awards (Favorite Male Singer) and 2009 Indonesian Music Awards (Best Male Solo Singer).

Selena Gomez took her sweet time before recording her debut album. After all, she had her hands full starring in her hit Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverley Place," not to mention appearing in a string of movies and other TV shows. Still, music had been a core passion of hers going back to childhood. A child no more, Selena comes on strong with her Hollywood Records premiere CD, "Kiss & Tell." It is nothing less than the emancipation proclamation of a young artist with a lot to say.

She didn't get there alone. Producer Ted Bruner, along with songwriters Gina Schock , Tim James & Antonina Armato and Selena's band, The Scene, wrap her vocals with fire and ferocity. "Because it is my first record I wanted it to be amazing," Selena says. "I think of this record as a huge learning journey. I wanted to find my sound and see where I wanted to go musically."

On that journey, she clearly found her musical home base. And it rocks. Selena's blazing rock 'n' roll chops may surprise fans, especially on songs like "Kiss & Tell," with its battalion of drums, tight harmonies and Jane's Addiction-like lead guitar work. Says Selena with a laugh, "Basically this is my harsh song, but in a good way."

Selena decided to make the album "passionate, fun and empowering,' as she puts it. Thus, for the most part the 17-year-old singer bypasses the puppy love and goes straight to a righteous "guys are dogs" attitude. Songs like "Falling Down" and "I Don't Miss You At All" simmer with feminine scorn, while the pop gem "I Won't Apologize" (which Selena co-wrote) takes a stand for self-affirmation. "Girls my age tend to change themselves for others," Selena says. "Whether it's a boyfriend or trying to fit in with the 'cool kids,' this song says you're not going to apologize for who you are."

Selena tackles ballads on the wistful "The Way I Loved You" and "I Promise You," the latter a love song steeped in unadorned romance. She shakes off the sentimentality in the sophisticated put-down rocker "Stop and Erase," "I Got U," "Crush" and "As a Blond," perhaps the edgiest song yet from the legally brunette Selena. "Every girl goes through a break-up at some point," she says, "and they never feel good. I wanted to make sure that the songs about heartbreak were all empowering rather than sad. When I perform these songs I don't feel I am dwelling on pain."

She ends the album with a full-circle moment, re-recording "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," an upbeat hip-hop-flavored track she first cut several years ago and now revisits with a more seasoned point of view. "I thought it would be a fun to redo the song and add some cool techno beats," says the ever-adventurous Selena, who today stands at the brink of a thrilling new phase of her career.

Born July 22, 1992 in Dallas, Texas, Selena started acting at age seven when she landed a role in the popular television series "Barney & Friends," on which was a regular for two seasons. There she met her best friend, actress/singer and fellow Hollywood Records recording artist Demi Lovato. Their connection has endured. "I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to go through so much with Demi," says Selena. "We have known each other for so long now that we're more like sisters."

She landed her first feature film role in 2003, when she was cast in the sci-fi action adventure film "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over." Selena went on to lend her voice to "Horton Hears a Who!" in 2008, and made guest appearances on "Hannah Montana" and "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."

But she made her greatest impact as an actress starring as girl wizard Alex Russo in the hit Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverly Place," which premiered in 2007. For their work on the show, Selena and her cast mates won a 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program. "I don't think I'm too much like Alex," Selena says. "She gets into a lot of trouble, and my parents would never let that happen. Overall she's confident and doesn't let anyone negative get in her way, which is a good quality to have."

Her busy schedule in front of the camera did nothing to dampen her musical dreams. Selena recorded three songs for the "Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie" soundtrack, as well as tracks for "101 Dalmatians," "Another Cinderella Story" and "Tinker Bell." But she had broader ambitions. "I have always loved music and write all the time, but to make a career out of it seemed scary," she says. "I focused more on acting at one point, which blessed me with my show and other projects I had the honor of working on. Now I'm putting more into my music."

With a new album, a hit show and more movies on the horizon, it's a wonder Selena has time left for anything else. But she makes time to give something back. She has volunteered for St Jude's Hospital for children, Disney's Friends for Change and she was twice named youth ambassador for UNICEF, a role that recently took her on a fact-finding trip to Africa. It all served to expand her perspective on life. "I am constantly growing and changing," she says, "but I like to think my morals about family and friendships haven't changed."

She's not done dreaming. In the years ahead, Selena plans to push her career to greater heights, while always remembering her fans and the faith they place in her. Summing up her goals, Selena says: "I want to inspire others, help and make an impact." With "Kiss & Tell," she won't have long to wait.
