Edi Gathegi had the luck to be one of the very first to watch a rough cut of the full New Moon movie, and was able to watch it with no less than series author Stephenie Meyer.
A reporter from Access Hollywood spoke with him to try and squeeze any detail out–but unsurprisingly, Edi keeps most everything close to his vest!

New Moon human pal Christian Serratos was at a Nylon party last night in Hollywood and Radar had a chance to quiz the actress on what it was like to film New Moon.
“It was an epic experience and so massive,” She explained at the Nylon Magazine party on Monday night at Hollywood’s Mondrian Hotel. “I didn’t expect it. But we all get along so well. We film and get our work done, and then we all get together, we go to dinner, we have fun, we’re all around the same age so we just mesh really well.
She also says “hell if I know” to the Q of whether Rob and Kristen are dating.

Kiowa Gordon, who makes his debut as Embry of the wolf pack in New Moon, has revealed to MTV his favorite scene in the movie–involving muffins.
“I call it the muffin scene,” Kiowa said. “We all gather around at Emily’s house — it’s Sam’s, the big pack leader’s fiancee — and we all just gather around and eat muffins and talk about stuff.”
Sounds like our kind of feast, but unfortunately for star Taylor Lautner, he didn’t get to join in the muffin merriment. “When they were eating their funny little muffins, I was standing in the back, all pissed off,” Taylor said of the scene. “So I just got to watch them eat their muffins.”

Check out this new set of New Moon candies that reader Melissa found at a local Walgreen’s for $2.99–
24 in a pack, Bella is Creme filled, Edward is caramel filled, and Jacob is Peanut Butter.
Bellas is a heart, Edward is the Cullen Crest, and Jacob is a Wolf howling at the moon
Jacob is totally peanut butter. Amiright? Trusty and dependable tastiness, if a little boring. Edward is the more exotic and sexy caramel, and I’m not even going to touch the fact that Bella is creme-filled.
There were a few new scenes in the “Meet Jacob Black” New Moon preview/trailer that we haven’t scene before.
Check out the screenshot above of Jacob and Bella kissing, and after the break check out a distraught looking Edward and Jane with evil eyes.

X-Men director Brett Ratner has his eye on New Moon superstar Robert Pattinson for his new superhero film Youngblood–
Forget about Team Edward. If “X-Men: The Last Stand” director Brett Ratner has his way, “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson will be joining Team “Youngblood.”
“Definitely [Robert Pattinson] from ‘Twilight,’ ” Ratner told MTV News when asked if he had any actors in mind for his upcoming film based on a comic book series about a government-sanctioned team of superheroes. “He just feels like he belongs in that world.”
“I don’t only see him as a vampire,” explained Ratner. “He’s a really good actor.”
“[Pattinson] could do anything,” said Ratner. “He just has that look. … I picture him on Youngblood, for sure.”
