Damon Salvatore is the Sexiest Beast in New Poll

Former Lost star Ian Somerhalder's vampire character in The Vampire Diaries has beaten Twilight's Edward Cullen to be crowned America's Sexiest Beast.

The actor's Damon Salvatore finished just ahead of Robert Pattinson's movie bloodsucker in Entertainment Weekly magazine's new poll of favorite TV movie monsters.

Cullen beat Cameron from The Sarah Connor Chronicles, played by Summer Glau, and Salvatore beat Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to make it to the final vote.

Morena Baccarin's V character Anna, Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black, Halle Berry's Storm and Alexander Skarsgard's True Blood character Eric Northman all made the quarterfinals.

Edward Cullen Strips Down in Twilight Spoof Film

It's a lot of pressure to walk in Robert Pattinson's footsteps as vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen, but somebody's got to do it.

Matt Lanter, the hunky actor who plays 90210's Liam Court, has stepped up to the plate to play Edward in the Twilight saga spoof, Vampires Suck.

But judging from Lanter's words, it sounds like the spoofed version will be a bit more racy than the original flicks. "I'm naked in the movie," the actor, 27, said at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

"We very closely follow the Twilight saga, so I think anything you might find cheesy about Twilight – which I know sounds really weird – we tackle that," Lanter says. "You know that famous 'I'm a killer' scene where [Pattinson] is talking about how he's a vampire? We make fun of that, but I pull out a gun and shoot. I'm actually a killer."

And even though Lanter says he hasn't discussed the spoof with Pattinson, he thinks the British superstar and his fans will give the film two thumbs up.

"It seems like [Pattinson]'s got a sense of humor," Lanter said. "We're adding to the Twilight saga in a fun, quirky way … We're paying homage. It's the greatest form of flattery."

Robert Pattinson Excited for Breaking Dawn's 'Pillow-Biting' Sex Scene

In Eclipse Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's characters end up engaged – so what happens when they become man and wife?

Spoiler alert! Keep reading if you want to know what happens...

"It does actually literally get more physical [in Breaking Dawn]," Stewart tells Access Hollywood, referring to the couple's sex scenes. "It doesn't get more action-packed … [But] they definitely get more physical. Well, they get married."

The film's screenwriter has said she plans to show Stewart's character, Bella, giving birth, so how steamy will the pre-baby scenes get?

"Well, they're man and wife now," Stewart says leadingly. "They have a kid and stuff too, so, I guess to get there that happens."

She adds with mock excitement, "We totally have sex – finally!"

For his part, Pattinson jokes that one moment of the Edward and Bella romantic scenes in the book stuck out to him.

"I'm looking forward to the pillow-biting scene," he says with a laugh. "I thought that was so funny. Of all the random things too do, really? He bites the pillow."

Plus, now that he'll be showing more skin, "I can't wait to get all my body makeup on," Pattinson says, "to be especially pasty looking."

Twilight's Taylor Lautner on Swapping Spit with Robert Pattinson

The real danger on the set of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse didn't involve vampires or werewolves. It was all the flying saliva.

"We're always like an inch away from each other's faces, screaming at each other, spitting at each other in the face. It gets a little awkward," Taylor Lautner said of costar Robert Pattinson at Monday's Cinema Society and Piaget-hosted screening of their latest Twilight film in New York.

Did Pattinson have to duck any major projectiles? "Not anything super dramatic," Lautner says, "but I'm sure he caught a couple splats."

Shouting at each other doesn't come naturally for two guys who don't, in real life, despise each other. And so, the scenes often veer into laughter. "Rob and I ruin a lot of takes," Lautner admits. "It's hard to keep a straight face, because we actually like each other. So, it's pretty funny."

With Pattinson filming Water for Elephants, Lautner, 18, was joined at the screening by costar Kristen Stewart, 20. Both actors said they've been enjoying some relatively quiet time recently.

Lautner said he's been following the World Cup – "I was rooting for the U.S., and that was a bummer," he says – while Stewart has been indulging her passion for music and cooking. "I'm fairly obsessed with [indie rocker] Jenny Lewis right now," she admits. "I'm in a state of grief because I'm missing her show in L.A."

But the cooking is going well – and it sounds like Stewart is being resourceful. "I like making pies," she says. "I have a bunch of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree sprouted, and I like making loquat pie. They're really hard to peel and everything, and it took me forever, but they make the best pies. They're amazing."

Paparazzi!: They're Fang-tastic

Eclipse stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner look absolutely fang-tastic Thursday at the Los Angeles premiere of the newest Twilight film, which arrives in theaters June 30th.

David Duchovny Talks Man Crushes and Free Stuff

It's hard to deny that the guys from Twilight are pretty dreamy, even David Duchovny would have to agree. But, if you give him the names Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, you'll probably just get a blank stare in return. If you say "the werewolf and vampire from Twilight," then bingo. We're sure the former X-Files actor is not alone in this.

David, who has two children with wife Tea Leoni, said: "If I were gay, you know. I think Woody Allen is one of a long list of men I might go gay for. Garry Shandling is someone I've publicly gone gay for, for jokes. Oh and anyone in the Twilight movies. I don't know any of their names, but all of them. The wolves, the vampires? They're all fantastic."

David also revealed that one of his greatest pleasures is showering in the buff outside his house in Massachusetts. He told Empire magazine: "I seriously hope no-one in Massachusetts reads this, but we have this outdoor shower and so I'm kinda naked and outside. I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower."

David also admitted he regularly uses his fame to get free goods. He said: "Do I use my celebrity to get something for free? Hell yeah! Mostly sporting apparel. Oh and the courtside seats at basketball games are fantastic. It's a fantasy for someone like me, who grew up wanting to play basketball, to be down there."

Lea Michele, Robert Pattinson & Lady Gaga Among Time's Most Influential People

Time magazine has released its annual list of the "Time 100," the world's most influential people, and some very famous faces made the list.

Glee star Lea Michele was recognized for her role on the hit TV show, which has been praised for encouraging kids to get involved in music programs. No word on why she was included instead some of the series' other stars, but kudos nonetheless.

The ever-fabulous Lady Gaga also made the cut, and why not? Cyndi Lauper said of the pop songstress, "Lady Gaga's art captures the period we're in right now."

Not surprisingly, Twilight star Robert Pattinson was also honored -- for being totally dreamy. His New Moon director Chris Weitz says he seems "to answer Freud's rhetorical question, 'What do women want?'" Weitz can't even criticize Pattinson, or he's "dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire."

Some other famous names on Time's list were Sandra Bullock, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Swift -- and even Sarah Palin.

Robert Pattinson's Nude Photoshoot Snub

The Twilight hunk was recently seen in a saucy spread in the monthly men's magazine, fully clothed and surrounded by nude models.

Pattinson admits he initially shed his clothes for the shoot, until magazine chiefs decided naked pictures of the star were not a good idea.

He says, "I offered to do a naked photoshoot - but no one wanted to see me naked. It started off with me naked and they were like, 'Actually, just forget it'." »

Robert Pattinson Covers 'Details' March 2010

Robert Pattinson puts on his best brooding face for the March 2010 issue of Details magazine, on stands February 23rd. Here’s what the 23-year-old Twilight star shared:

On the sexy Details photo shoot: “I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vaginas. But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot , so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours…Thank God I was hungover.”

On his dream job of political speech writing: “You’d have two or three minutes to affect someone. Make them hear you…I quite enjoyed doing the press for Twilight because there was a similarity. But you’d better have something to say. I felt a responsibility to be fascinating.”

On his emotional sight: “The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog. My relationship with my dog, it’s ridiculous.”

Robert Pattinson to Replace Tobey Maguire In Spider-man 4?

British actor Robert Pattinson is set to swing into action to replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-man 4, according to a UK report.

The Twilight hunk is reportedly the top choice with Columbia executives to star in the film, after Maguire pulled out last week over a reported script issue.

Daily Variety claimed movie bosses are planning to make a prequel about Spider-Man's alter-ego, Peter Parker, as a teenager instead - and Pattinson is the hot favorite to land the role, reports Britain's Daily Mirror.

A source tells the publication, "The buzz in Hollywood is all about R-Patz as the hot, young thing being lined up to fill Tobey Maguire's shoes. It would be a hard act to follow as fans were traumatised at the news Tobey was going.

"His mild-mannered portrayal as Peter Parker and the transformation to Spider-Man kept millions of fans in the cinemas for the box-office smash. He also had great chemistry with Kirsten Dunst, who plays love interest Mary Jane."

But Pattinson faces tough competition for the coveted role - High School Musical star Zac Efron also has his eye on playing the web-slinger.

He says, "I don't know what the chances are to be honest. I assume they're pretty slim. It's a long-shot but if it came down to it, it'd be a dream come true. What young actor wouldn't?"

Twilight Finale May Be Split Into Two

Moviegoers who think that the Twilight saga will be dead and buried after the third installation, Eclipse, had better think again: Summit Entertainment may release not just one but two movies based on the fourth novel in the series.

The film company is considering turning Breaking Dawn into a two-part finale to the movie series, Variety reports.

Of course, there are complications to such a move. First off, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, who wrote the first three movies' scripts, hasn't begun writing. Second, director Chris Weitz, who filmed New Moon, has said he wants to quit the movie business after finishing a pet project, The Gardener.

But perhaps most critical is getting actors Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the rest to come back on board – and paying them suitably staggering salaries.

On the other hand, if Harry Potter can pull it off, why not the Cullens?

How Robert Pattinson Felt Doing His New Moon 'Striptease'

When Robert Pattinson bared his glistening chest in Italy last spring, Twi-hards nearly went blind. Now, the Twilight hunk breaks his silence on nearly taking it all off in 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," he told Parade.com. "I was essentially doing a striptease."

And although Team Edward devotees went berserk over the sight of his bare torso, Pattinson said shooting the scene in front of his fans – who flew across the world to be a part of the crowd – helped him connect with them on a deeper level.

"It was also one of the moments where I've really felt closest to people's emotional attachment to Edward," he says. "It was a moment where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories."

While going shirtless was "very nerve-wracking," the British hunk reveals that seeing a much more ripped Taylor Lautner on the set didn't help his ego.

"I had the same reaction as everybody else," he says of seeing Lautner for the first time. "It's like, 'Jeez, now I have to go to the gym.' "

The 23-year-old Twilight star opened up about almost giving up on acting, how Twilight changed his life and how he’s handling his newfound fame. Here’s what Rob had to share with VF…

On costar Kristen Stewart: “I think she’s the best young actress around. She’s influenced how I’ve done all the Twilight stuff. It’s quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything.”

On his newfound fame: “I’m trying not to drown. I guess I’m not the type of guy cut out to do a franchise. I’m not much of a crowd person.”

On trying modeling as a career: “I was such a terrible model. I was really tall but still looked like a six-year-old.”

Hugh Jackman Beat Robert Pattinson in an ABBA Singing Competition

Robert Pattinson and Hugh Jackman are co-starring in the upcoming movie "Unbound Captives," and they recently revealed that the two bonded by seeing who could perform the best renditions of ABBA songs.

"We met up in Japan and we went karaoke singing," Pattinson said. "We were singing ABBA songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an ABBA song sing-off, you know, last man standing. I think he won, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He's a cool guy and I'm really looking forward to that film."

Rob has previously shown his musical side by recording songs for the Twilight soundtrack, and despite also being featured in the music for sequel Twilight Saga: New Moon, he says he felt like “a t*sser” when the movie came out. He told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: "When the first film came out I felt like a complete t*sser. It looked like I was trying to be cool or something, like Eminem. You know, be in a movie and then do a song for the soundtrack. But I didn't look cool, I just looked ridiculous

No Nudity In Twilight Sequel

The director of upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon has been forced to deny rumours of nude scenes in the film - after British actor Jamie Campbell-Bower joked about stripping off onscreen.

The movie, which stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, was rumoured to feature more adult content and plenty of bare flesh after Campbell-Bower gave an interview suggesting several characters get fully naked in the picture.

The 20-year-old star, who plays a member of the Volturi vampire clan, told MTV.com, "We just all sit there, completely naked, for one scene. Yeah, it's me, Michael Sheen and Christopher (Heyerdahl); we just sit there, naked."

But Campbell-Bower's interview has infuriated New Moon director Chris Weitz, who has been forced to issue a statement denying the young actor's claims - putting his comments down to his "dry sense of humour".

Weitz states, "I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the Volturi (characters) are not naked! Jamie (Campbell-Bower) has what you might call a dry sense of humour and almost managed to convince me - which is why he’s such a good actor. Anyway, be assured that, even though we do want the look of the Volturi to be a bit of a surprise, they are always - as in the book! - fully clothed."
