That tall guy blocking your view in the movie theater as you watch The Twilight Saga: Eclipse this weekend? Think twice before making a scene -- he could be Rob Pattinson! J-14 can confirm that Eclipse stars will be showing up at movie theaters around the country this weekend to surprise fans as they watch the film. While there's no word yet which stars will be making appearances, we do know there will be a large number of cast members and they'll be spread out at theaters nationwide -- so anyone anywhere has a chance of spotting a Twilight-er!

Are you going to see Eclipse this weekend? Which star would you most like to see?

Hey there J-14ers!

Normally I can always see the other side of the coin in a situation, even if I don't agree. But the one thing I just can't even relate to the opposite of? The Team Edward vs. Team Jacob battle. To me, it's just so obvious that Edward Cullen is Bella Swan's destiny -- and the way Jacob Black tries to weasel his way into Bella's life is just kinda, well, annoying! (Don't worry, Taylor Lautner fans -- I'm talking just about the characters. Love Taylor and Rob Pattinson!)

And now that the two literally battle for Bella in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on the big screen, it just brought to fruition how crazy the situation is. First of all, the chemistry between Edward and Bella is so undeniable -- and the fact that Edward is willing to give all that up and selflessly offer Bella a better life just shows the kind of person he is at the core -- he cares more about Bella than himself. I mean, he says stuff to her like, "Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren't in love with me?"

Not only did he run off and bear the agony in New Moon, but even face-to-face in the tent scene in Eclipse, Edward admits right to Jacob that he understands that Bella would have a better life with Jacob. He'd rather give up his own "life" and live all of eternity in pain than have Bella for himself... now that's true romance.

Hi J-14 readers!

Eclipse made being Team Jacob so easy... especially since he was shirtless for most of the movie!!!

I still can be charmed by Edward, but Jacob is so passionate. Even though both Edward and Jacob just want what best for Bella, I think Jacob is better choice. She has to sacrifice too much to be with Edward. Being with Jacob is so natural and easy. And I just like Bella better when she's with Jacob.

Her relationship with Edward is just too serious and complicated. She smiles and laughs and has fun when she's with Jacob. She can be a normal teen with Jacob and continue to have a normal life. I think Bella is just afraid to admit her feelings for Jacob, I guess because there's a lot to lose when you fall for your best friend. But I think nothing could be better than having your best friend be your boyfriend and your boyfriend be your best friend!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's Seth Clearwater BooBoo Stewart kicked off Lopez Tonight's "Twilight's Got Talent" series by showing off his intense martial arts skills. Charlie Bewley (who plays Demetri in the flick) was also on hand to give a display of his rugby talents -- kicking a ball through a tiny window. Lopez Tonight's "Twilight's Got Talent" special continues tonight at 11 p.m. on TBS with Kristen Stewart, Julia Jones, and Billy Burke!

Were you impressed by BooBoo and Charlie's skills? What do you think Kristen's talent will be?

It was no secret that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was going to be a huge box office success this summer, but no one quite predicted it would be so huge so fast. Last night's midnight screenings earned $30 million -- enough to topple The Twilight Saga: New Moon's previous midnight box office record of $26.3 million! Eclipse is set to be number one at the box office this weekend (and a lot longer if Twi-hards keep going back for more!).

Have you seen The Twilight Saga: Eclipse yet? Without giving anything away, what did you think?

J-14 is your number one source for all things The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Since today is the big premiere, we have 14-second diaries from four actors in Eclipse.

First up is BooBoo Stewart -- with his sister Fivel -- who plays Seth Clearwarter.

J-14 got to chat with The Twilight Saga star Jackson Rathbone about his new movie The Last Airbender. In the flick, Jackson plays Sokka, a 15-year-old warrior from the Southern Water Tribe and big brother to Katara, played by Nicola Peltz. Unlike his little sister who can bend water, he has no ability to bend an element. The Last Airbender comes out tomorrow, July 1!

J-14: Tell us about your character Sokka.
Jackson: Sokka is a young warrior from the Southern Water Tribe. He goes along with his younger sister who is the last Waterbender in the Southern Water Tribe. They shuffle across this mysterious voyage in the ice and discover that he is the last Avatar, which means he can manipulate all of the other ones. So they go on a quest to save the world. The Last Airbender is actually based off the Nickelodeon cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender.

J-14: Was it hard turning a cartoon character into a real person?
Jackson: There was a certain amount of difficulty. In the TV show, my character is very over-the-top and comedic at times but also very grounded and young. If I tried to go over-the-top, comedic, and cartoony in a live action movie, it would end up looking like a Jim Carey movie! We did a couple things that's definitely light-hearted. But for the most part, it's a grounded performance.

Our hearts were melting as we chatted with Kellan Lutz at the Eclipse premiere in Los Angeles. Here's his 14-second diary.

Don't you love the kiss at the end?!

And make sure check out our other exclusive 14-second diaries from his costars:

The J-14 Eclipse Countdown continues!

For today's J-14 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse exclusive, we caught up with cutie BooBoo Stewart and talked about how he got in the werewolf zone and what he did for fun when he wasn't busy playing Seth Clearwater.

On last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live special featuring The Twilight Saga: Eclipse cast, a few lucky fans got to ask questions to Rob Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and the rest of the cast on stage. When one Twi-hard used her golden opportunity to ask if any of the Twilight gang had Bieber Fever, chaos ensued! While Peter Facinelli proudly declared that he is quite the Justin Bieber fan, the packed audience got a little rowdy at the suggestion of having Justin be in the next Twilight movie. Watch the clip below and then tell us what you think!

Would you like to see Justin appear in The Twilight Saga?

Okay Twi-Hards, it's crunch time -- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is only one week away from hitting theaters! J-14's been saving tons of Eclipse info straight from the cast, but we're finally ready to spill it all. Every day this week leading up to the premiere, J-14.com will have juicy interviews and behind-the-scenes info just for you.

For the first day of our countdown, J-14 got the dish from Taylor Lautner on what it's like to play everyone's favorite shirtless werewolf. Read on for the scoop!

Okay, so maybe he's not exactly real, but Twilight character Edward Cullen has made us swoon and squeal with his super romantic and mysterious ways. And today, it's his birthday... his 109th birthday to be exact. (Nope, it's not Rob Pattinson's birthday, it's the character Edward's day!)

Three Fun Facts About Edward:
- His full name is Edward Anthony Mason Cullen.
- He became a vampire in 1918 to stop him from dying from the Spanish influenza in Chicago.
- Edward's "special car" that he took Bella to prom to is a Aston Martin V12 Vanquis. (According to author Stephenie Meyer, the car was cut from Twilight, but appears in Breaking Dawn.)

Sign our virtual birthday card for Edward by commenting below!

A few months back, Kristen Stewart told J-14 that she felt like The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn should be two movies -- and after months of speculation, it's finally official!

Just minutes ago, Summit Entertainment sent out a release that landed in our mailbox reading: "Summit Entertainment confirmed today that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will be released as two separate films with the first of the two slated to be released in theatres on November 18, 2011. Academy Award winner Bill Condon will direct both films starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner along with Billy Burke as Charlie Swan as well as returning members of the Cullen Family including Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper, Nikki Reed as Rosalie, Ashley Greene as Alice and Kellan Lutz as Emmett."

"The project, based on the fourth novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, is currently being written by Melissa Rosenberg with Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt and Stephenie Meyer producing. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will start production in the Fall. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions."

We can't stop staring at and analyzing every single photo that comes from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, out June 30.

Love this moment with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)... and simply adore this shot of all the Cullen Brothers with their "dad" Carlisle. Hmm... the Cullen Brothers, wouldn't that be an amazing band name? And hot H-O-T would it be with these three vampire bros playing... but that's just us daydreaming... sigh... :)

All this swooning over vampires and werewolves brings us back to the age old question -- which do you think are hotter: Vampires or Werewolves?

Robsten forever! Earlier this week, Rob Patinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning taped an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show, set to air on May 13. And although Rob and Kristen did not confirm on-air that they are a couple, backstage spies said that they told Oprah that they are 100 percent dating, but didn't want to talk about it on TV.

Do you like Rob and Kristen as a couple? Or are you over them? Are you excited for Eclipse?

As we inch our way closer to the release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on June 30, more photos are coming into our mailbox... and we had to share them with you right away.

Check out these two images from the film -- and let us know what you think!

Are you excited about Eclipse?

Uh oh -- the battle between Team Edward and Team Jacob is truly on now!

Check out these new images from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which debuted earlier today.

The official description for the movie reads:
"In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge."

"In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between Edward and Jacob knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life."

What do you think of these new photos -- how do they compare to Twilight and New Moon?

The books of The Twilight Saga may have come to an end (so far), but that doesn't mean the stories are over.

On June 5, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is releasing a new novella called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella, based on the teen newborn vampire introduced on page 569 of Eclipse -- and who dies ten pages later.

Stephenie actually started writing the novella a long time ago, while she was writing Eclipse, as an exercise for herself to get a better grasp of what was happening in the main story.

And the influence of this new novel will make it to the big screen. Stephenie gave The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade a draft of the novella while he was filming the movie, which hits the big screen on June 30. Bree is played by Jodelle Ferland.

As for whether Midnight Sun -- the partially leaked telling of Twilight from Edward Cullen's perspective -- will make it to book shelves, Stephenie remains mum.

What do you think -- will you read The Short Second Life of Bree Turner?

Jackson gets his Future Heretics shirt buttoned up -- too nice to get slimed? We think so!

The Twilight Saga and The Last Airbender star Jackson Rathbone documented his entire journey at the Kids' Choice Awards last Saturday in Westwood, CA, just for J-14 magazine.

In case you missed it, catch Part 1 here:

J-14 Photo Diary: Twilight's Jackson Rathbone at the Kids' Choice Awards

As he got ready in his nearby hotel, Jackson wore a green T-shirt from his "other" job as a musician for the band 100 Monkeys.

With the help of his groomer and stylist, he got ready and changed into Kasil jeans, a vintage The Who T-shirt by Java Jean Bar, and Elmer Ave Blazer as he headed over the UCLA campus where the Kids' Choice Awards were held.

And get ready for a double dose of Jackson this summer as he has The Twilight Saga coming out June 30, followed just days later by The Last Airbender.

Jackson gets those awesome Doc Martens laced up and ready to go!

His groomer, Gabrielle Melville, gets him picture-perfect (as if he's not already!) for the Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet.

Jackson struck a pose right outside his dressing room with Paradigm agent, Ryan Bartlett.

He may play the overly emotional Jasper Hale on screen in The Twilight Saga, but in real life, Jackson Rathbone was nothing but smiles at the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards held at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Westwood, CA, on March 27.

Jackson hit the orange carpet at the KCAs with famed writer/director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) and actress Nicola Peltz who he worked with in this upcoming Paramount film, The Last Airbender, out this summer (yup, you'll get a double dose of Jackson on the big screen this summer with Eclipse and Airbender!).

The film is based on the Nickelodeon animated show by the same name and in it, Jackson plays Sokka, the older brother of Katara (Nicola) who is a Waterbender and the two set out on an adventure to try to bring balance back to a world torn apart by war.

And that's not all Jackson's up to -- on top of it all, he also rocks out in his band 100 Monkeys, currently on tour!

Click here for more pics in Jackson's exclusive J-14 Photo Diary.

And stay tuned to j-14.com and @j14magazine on Twitter for even more exclusive content from the Kids' Choice Awards!

Jackson grinned ear-to-ear as he met tons of fans at the Kids' Choice Awards!

Backstage at the Kids' Choice Awards, Jackson gets quizzical heading into the Slime Shower - eeks!

As soon as we Tweeted live from the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards that Twilight's Bella Swan and Jacob Black (yes, Jacob Black) won the award for Favorite Cutest Couple over Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, Avatar's Neytiri and Jake, and even our Presidential couple The Obamas, J-14 immediately heard the outrage on our Twitter @j14magazine.

So we want to give you guys the opportunity to sound off here. Are "Jacob and Bella" truly a "couple"? Should they have even been nominated? And on top of that, should they have won over Edward and Bella?

In other shocking Twilight news, the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Movie went to Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel over The Twilight Saga: New Moon and the Favorite Book went to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series over the Twilight series.

But Taylor Lautner did win the award for Favorite Movie actor.

What do you think of these results of the Kids' Choice Awards?
