R-Rated hit comedy The Hangover has topped the list of MTV Movie Award nominations, with 6 noms for Best Movie, Best Breakout Star (Zach Galifianakis) Best Comedic Performance (Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis), Best Villain (Ken Jeong) and Best WTF Moment (Ken Jeong - Naked Trunk Surprise.)

Tween hit New Moon and mega-blockbuster Avatar tied for second most nominations with five each.

And even though she may not have had a movie come out this year, Angelina Jolie will be competing against Channing Tatum, Sam Worthington, Chris Pine and Rain in a new category, Biggest Badass.

The 2010 MTV Movie Awards will air live on Sunday, June 6 at 9pm ET.

Nickelodeon announced their 23rd Annual Kids' Choice Awards nominations this morning, and not surprisingly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Taylor Lautner, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift all snagged noms, but Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were left out in the cold!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon is up for Favorite Movie while Taylor Lautner will be battling Zac Efron, Shia LaBeouf and Tyler Perry in the Favorite Movie Actor category.

Miley Cyrus is up for four this year, Favorite Female Singer, Favorite Movie Actress, Favorite TV Actress and Favorite Song (for "Party in the U.S.A."). The Jo Bros are up for Favorite Music Group, while brothers Joe and Nick are each up for Favorite TV Actor for their show JONAS.

Taylor will compete with Miley for Favorite Song (for "You Belong to Me") and will do battle once again with Beyonce and Lady Gaga in the Favorite Female Singer category.

The show will air March 27th and will be hosted by Kevin James.

Ouch! Taylor Lautner's fellow New Moon werewolf Alex Meraz (far left) has taken a huge swipe at the star on Twitter, tearing into his upcoming romantic comedy Valentine's Day!

Alex tweeted, "Sorry Taylor but the movie Valentine's Day looks lame and desperate ... It cries out, 'look we have all the biggest starz in 1 movie pleez watch!'" Alex continued, "P.S. it has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie. I just don't like the producer & Directors' 'get rich quick skeem' nuff said."

Hmm, is someone jealous that they didn't get a part in the movie? It stars Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Swift and Bradley Cooper among others, so yes, it's loaded with starpower, but that's certainly not a reason to hate it!

Alex later added, "Talk about biting the hand that feeds me...but I'm a wolf for crying out loud! I'll be careful next time I spill twitter all over everyone."

Stop howling, boy!

Well this isn't too surprising!

Google has released their 2009 Year-End Zeitgeist lists and Michael Jackson comes in at #1, making his name the most searched item for this year. (The King of Pop died suddenly on June 25th - X17online was the first to break the news that MJ was hospitalized AND the first to post pix of him arriving at UCLA Medical Center...)

Rounding out the list are the phrases "facebook," "twitter," "new moon" and "lady gaga." Check out the entire top ten list below the cut!

Hmm, no Jon and Kate? Chris Brown/Rihanna? And Britney Spears has completely disappeared from the list!

New Moon beat out new releases to top the box office this Thanksgiving, with a $66 million haul over the five-day holiday, which brings its' total to $230.7 million. And that's just the domestic gross.

Variety reports that the second installment of the Twilight series outgrossed Sandra Bullocks' The Blindside, disaster mega-movie 2012 and new release Old Dogs to take the top spot of the biggest Thanksgiving box office ever.

I was one of those people who took in the flick over the holiday and I gotta say, it's worth all the hype!

Despite three new wide releases hitting theaters this weekend, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still on top, with a $14.3 million box office take. That brings the six-day total for the film to $179 million!

Numbers are expected to rise with most Americans having Black Friday off.

Sandra Bullocks' The Blind Side is in second; 2012 is in third with $3.6 million; and Ninja Warriors is fourth.

Will YOU see New Moon (again!) this Thanksgiving weekend?

I truly admire director Chris Weitz has an artist, and I also liked what he had to say to Entertainment Weekly about his New Moon receiving bad reviews...

"Given the media blitz that has accompanied New Moon, it's rather unsurprising. If one could imagine their biggest fears, it would be complete rejection of the movie by the fans. What I've realized over the last week is I won't necessarily get good reviews for this movie. Having swallowed that, this was made for the fans, and if you don't get it, then you don't get it."

Agreed! Leave New Moon alone!

Director David Slade is taking on Eclipse, but what about Breaking Dawn? Weitz is down for it, because he feels "a great deal of gratitude" for author Stephenie Meyer and the lead actors.

Can't wait for the next installment in June!

Better hurry! Tickets are selling out everywhere.

We here at X17online enjoyed New Moon for the most part but, personally, I'm glad it didn't beat out The Dark Knight's record breaking weekend numbers at the box office. Whatever! The Dark Knight was a better film and that's that... right?

...but not enough to knock The Dark Knight or Spider-Man 3 out of the two top spots!

New Moon took in an estimated $140.7 million at the domestic box office this weekend, falling behind The Dark Knight with 158.4 mil and Spider-Man 3 with $151.1 mil. It did bump POTC: Dead Man's Chest (with $135.6 mil) out of the third spot.

Now obviously, this is amaze. Props to everyone involved! That being said, we're a little surprised. Why?

Because New Moon's first midnight runs ($26.3 mil) and full Friday runs ($72.7 mil) both beat out The Dark Knight's numbers... so how come this didn't continue throughout the weekend?

So many questions!

And then some!

Last night I caught a screening of New Moon here in Hollywood, and while the film hasn't been getting the best reviews, I loved it and I thought it was everything it needed to be.

Of course, the chemistry between Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart was electric from the start, but Taylor Lautner definitely had the surprise card up his sleeve! Half of the audience squealed with delight upon the first sighting of Jacob Black's chiseled abs, and the response was equally as deafening when we caught a glimpse of Edward Cullen's sparkly goodness a little bit later.

While there wasn't nearly enough Edward in New Moon, there was a reason for that and I definitely felt Bella's pain when she pined for her lover. Speaking of Bella, can I just say how gorgeous Kristen looked? She wore very minimal makeup, and there are numerous scenes where she's supposed to be worn out and depressed, yet she still looked stunning! It's easy to see why Rob can't keep his hands off of her, and I'm happy to report that there was a lot more smooching between the lovebirds in this installment of the Twilight franchise.

So what else did I love? Dakota Fanning was a fantastic and deliciously evil Jane Volturi, and Michael Sheen's take on Aro Volturi was just as impressive. Ashley Greene's Alice is the vampire I'd most like to be friends with, and I'm going to download the soundtrack as soon as I'm done writing this blog. Yeah, it was that good!

So what's NOT to love about the movie? For one, the CGI on the wolves was a bit laughable, but if you're a true Twilover and you're caught up in the movie, it almost doesn't even matter. The plot took off rather rapidly during the third act, and there were a few points where the dialogue made me cringe, but that happens with just about every movie so I'm not going to get too picky. New Moon isn't supposed to be an Oscar contender, it's supposed to be a huge blockbuster with a die hard fan following. If its midnight ticket sales on Thursday are any indication of the numbers it's going to pull this weekend, it's safe to say that this is THE biggest movie of the year. Nice work, guys. I give it a B-plus.

UPDATE!
New Moon has broken the record for highest opening-day gross ever! Summit Entertainment is reporting that New Moon earned $72.7 million on Friday, topping The Dark Knight’s previous record of $67.2 million.

Holy vamp this is a big deal!

Summit Entertainment has just announced that New Moon opened with $26.27M in 12:01AM screenings from 3,514 theaters across the country! Sure, that's a lot of seats, but $26 million for ONE showing!? That's incredible!

That's the biggest midnight movie debut ever, beating out previous record holders Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince ($22.2 million) and The Dark Knight ($18.4 million).

Can't WAIT to see it tonight!

The wait is finally over!

Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning star in New Moon, which starts showing at midnight tonight! Have YOU bought your tix in advance yet??? Better hurry, they're selling like crazy!

There's only one thing we're concerned about... reviews! Rotten Tomatoes.com - which compiles all major reviews for upcoming films - gives this consensus: "The Twilight Saga's second installment may satisfy hardcore fans of the series, but outsiders are likely to be turned off by its slow pace, relentlessly downcast tone, and excessive length."

What do we say? Whatever! This film is made for its fans anyway, right? Mixed reviews won't stop us from seeing it. How about you?

We're just hours away from the first screening of New Moon, and it's already breaking pre-sale ticket records!

Three of the largest ticket retailers, Fandango, AMC and MovieTickets.com all report that the latest installment of the Twilight franchise has already topped The Dark Knight, Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars, with several thousand sold-out screenings. Get your tix now, Twilovers!

Is there really anything else on your mind this week???

Twilight's second installment hits theaters this Friday - although I'm sure many will flock to midnight screenings on Thursday night - and Twihards everywhere are overflowing with excitement...

But regardless of whether or not Kristen Stewart is closer with Rob or Taylor off-screen, let's finally decide who she should be with on-screen!

While the rest of us were drooling over photos of Robstener at the LA premiere of New Moon, Miley Cyrus was busy telling Cleveland radio station Q92 that "I don't want anything to do with it!"

When an interviewer asked her what she thought of the Twilight mania, Cyrus responded, "I've never seen it and nor will I ever." Cyrus continued, "I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires. ... I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it," the popstar said emphatically.

Harsh words considering she's set to work with Twilight's producers on a new fantasy film called Wings, which is somewhat like Twilight, but with fairies!

But I bet the Twilovers aren't too put off by Miley's comments. It's not like they've ever seen an episode of Hannah Montana either!

Last night may have been all about the Twiangle of Rob/Kristen/Taylor, but the Cullens deserve some major props for their red carpet looks!

Alice, Esme, Rosalie, and the Doctor joined celebs like Emma Roberts, a slimmed down Jennifer Love Hewitt and others to rock the red carpet in Westwood last night.

All the New Moon frenzy just makes us more excited to see the sequel this weekend!

If you're NOT a die-hard Twilight fan, you might wanna steer clear of Westwood tonight!

Screaming fans - both young and old - are lined up around the block to catch a glimpse of Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the New Moon premiere this evening.

Can you handle the excitement??? These people def can't! Check out our vid below of all the Twilovers outside the theater... and they're all on Team X17!
