At the L.A. premiere of Eclipse, one reporter asked Robert Pattinson what he wanted to say to the fans listening over the PA system. "You're crazy!" Pattinson smiled. To his credit, however, he, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner spent hours autographing and taking photos with thousands of fans at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live and even delayed the movie's start time by an hour!

Although fans of Twilight are predominantly female, a few macho men aren't ashamed to admit they dig the action. At the premiere of Eclipse, Fandango caught up with Quinton Aaron, who played Michael Oher in The Blind Side. "I’m not really into the love story part – but I like the action part of it, with the vampires and werewolves – it’s good fun," he said.

Eclipse is Taylor Lautner's favorite in the series so far because "everything—the romance, the action, the suspense—everything is just multiplied… It's action packed. It's very tense, so I like that a lot."
Robert Pattinson had a few book, movie and TV obsessions when he was younger, including Hook, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and "Ren & Stimpy."
Jackson Rathbone has an unusual workout technique – to fully emulate his character, vampire Jasper Hale, Rathbone wore cowboy boots to his fight training sessions. His reasoning – "He's not gonna change his shoes to go fighting. Psh! He's a vampire!"
Billy Burke, who plays Bella's oblivious, yet down-to-earth dad, released his debut album titled Removed. His subtle-vibrato voice hits up the rock/pop and alternative genres with a mixture of acoustic guitar, a bit of bluesy piano and a hint of country. Other Twilight cast members who've shown their musical talents include Robert Pattinson, who played piano in Twilight and Jackson Rathbone, who has his own band, 100 Monkeys.
Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, revealed she's itching to do all kinds of genres in the future: "I definitely really want to do a kick-ass film. I'd love to do like a Tarantino-style film, very stylized. Comedy is something that I'm definitely looking to get into. I had a little taste of it and I do intend on going to classes for it because I think it's a different muscle, and it's hard to find female comedians." Check out our entire exclusive Ashley Greene interview.
Taylor Lautner has said the part he's most looking forward to, and the part he's most nervous about, is in Breaking Dawn and it involves Renesmee!
There was actually a lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010, and, of course, Summit Entertainment planned Twilight festivities to go along with it.
Bella's purple bed sheets were re-created in a comforter set from Target's Modern Home collection. It was all sold out by the time of New Moon’s release, but it looks like they’re back in stock.
You can pretty much get Twilight merchandise anywhere these days, but Nordstrom has an exclusive Eclipse-inspired clothing line, as well as exclusive life-size cutouts of Bella, Edward, Jacob and Alice.
On "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Emma Roberts revealed that she was on Team Jacob. Robert Pattinson, who was also a guest and was sitting right next to her, quipped: "You've just revealed yourself to have absolutely no taste!"
Kristen Stewart has said the Eclipse scene she was most looking forward to filming was her moment with Jacob before the big battle. It's the time when Bella realizes Jacob is offering a "desirable" path for her.
Taylor Lautner has said the most challenging thing about filming Eclipse is "having to hate Edward, because Rob is such a nice guy."
People magazine named Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner in its "Hottest Bodies of 2010" issue. Lutz told the New York Times he gave up candy and worked with a trainer for weeks to bulk up his chicken legs.
Stephenie Meyer's favorite band is Muse, which has the first single on the Eclipse soundtrack.
Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Victoria with a vendetta against Bella, was a vegan for several years until she developed a rare condition that makes meat's amino acids critical to her health.
Meyer chose to title her third novel "Eclipse" to symbolize the choice Bella makes between Edward, her moon, and Jacob, her sun.
