The premiere of Twilight: New Moon is just over a week away and the hype is reaching critical mass. While hottie Taylor Lautner finally gets his abs immortalized in a new Barbie doll, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart continue to fight off rumors they are an item off-screen as well as on.

Early reviews of New Moon, from those lucky enough to have scooped a screening, are so far quite positive. It looks like Twilight fans are in for a serious treat, with some proclaiming New Moon is even better than the first film. While we adored Twilight, New Moon is rife with tasty drama and we’re hoping the film will do it justice.

While fans wait eagerly for the New Moon premiere, they are snapping up every bit of gossip they can about the film’s stars. Including rumors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart recently shacked up together in a hotel room and got in some kissing time while attending their own New Moon screening. True or not, you can’t help but get a very nice mental picture out of that…

As for that other New Moon heartthrob, Taylor Lautner, we can’t help but wonder if he’s flattered or embarrassed by the newest bit of Twilight merchandise to hit the shelves – his very own Barbie doll! Yep, Jacob Black joins Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in having his own Barbie lookalike now available for purchase. If you haven’t seen it, you just have to check out the abs on this doll – hot!
