But the franchise is still a juggernaut: Despite all of Disney's marketing and folks' nostalgic love of Kermit and Miss Piggy, the Muppets were steamrolled at the box office over the holiday weekend, with Breaking Dawn taking the top spot for the second week in a row. In fact, the flick has a world wide box office total of $488,832,009. Very nearly half a billion dollars. More »

(Vampire Groom Not Included)]]> Getting a licensed replica of the Carolina Herrera wedding dress Kristen Stewart wore to marry her sparkly, fanged, 110-year-old boyfriend in the new Twilight movie to market in time to coincide with the film's release was apparently a big struggle. Only four people knew that the dress in production was the dress; it was shipped to Alfred Angelo stores in secret, and the studio jokes that the bridal retailer had to sign an NDA "in blood." The final product can be yours for just $799. That's roughly half the price of the David's Bridal licensed copy of Kim Kardashian's wedding dress! Only Twilight's fictional wedding hasn't yet ended in divorce. [WSJ] More »

Since I first covered the franchise in 2008, I've gone to midnight screenings of each one, and I have to say, as events, they are getting more and more subdued. Maybe the fans are growing up. Perhaps vampires and werewolves have lost their bite. (A little — the flick is still on track to be number one at the box office this weekend.) The theater was definitely packed. I took notes throughout the flick. So if you want to know exactly what happens without actually paying for a ticket, read on. More »

Too aggressive? Or is the guy just doing his job? And does it have anything to do with the fact that The Buff Werewolf must constantly deal with unfounded gay questions and rumors?

We knew that the censors initially gave Twilight: Breaking Hymen an R-rating due to the graphic nature of the sex scenes before they went back to the editing room, but director Bill Condon reveals it's because Rob was champing at the bit to get at Kristen during the shoot: "It's almost clinical the kind of strict guidelines [the MPAA] have about anything that appears to be - how do I put it delicately? That appears to be, let's call it thrusting." Let's hope there's a director's cut. [MTV] More »

We're Just 35 days away from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Hymen Part 1 hitting theaters, so do what you must to prepare yourself for Bed-Breaking SparkleVamp Sex.
