Spoiler Alert: In the Twilight Saga Edward and Bella get married -- and Bella was only 18! (Yes, we know Edward will always be 17, but technically he's 109!)
Do you think it is okay to get married in your teens? Why or why not? How old do you think you should be when you get married?

The J-14 New Moon Countdown has finally come to an end... and The Twilight Saga: New Moon is now in theaters!
For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we met up with Taylor Lautner and asked him about the juiciest subject of all -- the chemistry between Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!
-------------------------------------
J-14 Exclusive Interview: Taylor Lautner On Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
J-14: How did Rob and Kristen build up their chemistry for the first Twilight?
Taylor Lautner: I do remember that they would watch movies together and listen to music together I believe. They actually have a lot of similarities -- Kristen and Rob just clicked.
J-14: And that translated on screen?
Taylor: They just clicked -- they have a great relationship. They were always friends outside of filming, so Edward and Bella are doing good.

With just a few eps of The Hills' fifth season left, J-14 just had to get our fix in before it was too late! Stephanie Pratt has been crazy busy but we chatted with her (while she was taking care of her parents' dog!), and she told us all about life without Lauren, how she really feels about Kristin, and her Team Edward obsession!
J-14: Has it been weird for you to not have Lauren Conrad there?
Stephanie Pratt: It's really lame. Audrina [Patridge], Lo [Bosworth], and I all miss her the same amount. We all talk about it when we go to beach houses in Malibu and parties. We were all really good friends -- she's Lo's best friend is gone -- so it's sad. We still hang out -- we have each other on BBM.
J-14: How have you adjusted to Kristin Cavallari being there?
Stephanie: I've seen two different sides of her. It's really hard trusting someone who you don't know. I'm a sensitive person in general -- even seeing strangers upset makes me sad! I'm trying to work on not being affected by everything that goes on. Everyone's [been] trying to give Kristin a chance, and we're all having a lot of fun hanging out in Malibu. You try to make new friends and keep the old ones, but right now the dynamic on the show is that people are having to make a choice, so there's a lot of tension.
J-14: Is it weird to have Kristin and Brody Jenner filming together again?
Stephanie: It's not really. I've known Brody forever. He was best friends with my brother when him and Kristin started dating five years ago -- that was so long ago! They really just seem like friends. She was the first girlfriend that Brody was settled with -- they were in a committed relationship. Brody and I don't really get along. I like to stay clear of him. I completely took Audrina's side with the whole Hawaii thing.
J-14: How do you feel knowing that some of the things happening in your real life aren't shown on TV?
Stephanie: The only thing that bothers me is that no ones ever seen the other side of [my brother] Spencer. But no, we've never, ever seen a script! It's always fun to watch other reality shows and be like, 'I don't believe that's how any of them are,' but for us pretty much everything is what it is, just edited down.
J-14: Are you Team Jacob or Team Edward?
Stephanie: Edward! I was reading Twilight shouting out loud, 'I hate you Jacob!' I was so mad at him! On my BBM, my status would be, 'Jacob leave her alone!'
J-14: Do you have a celeb crush?
Stephanie: Ryan Gosling!

Hey J-14ers,
I was lucky enough to not just watch the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards being taped last night at NYC's Roseland Ballroom, but I got to head out on to the red carpet too! I talked to all the celebs about who they were excited to see at the awards show and, of course, talk about New Moon!
Sparks the Rescue's single is called "We Love Like Vampires," so I had to ask if they were Team Edward or Jacob. "Team Bella!" guitarist Toby McAllister told J-14. But Zooey Deschanel -- her hubby happens to be Death Cab For Cutie's lead singer Ben Gibbard -- told me she hasn't seen the movies! "I just haven't gotten to it, but I'm open to it," Zooey told J-14. "I love the soundtrack!"
Never Shout Never's Christopher Drew -- one of the night's big winners who told me, "I wish I was a vampire!" -- was psyched to see Death Cab perform, while singer Kenna loves Alicia Keys. In fact, he wanted her to win the Good Woodie award for charity work -- over himself! But would he pull a Kanye West if Alicia didn't win? "Yes," he told me. "I'll take the award from whoever - like if I win it, I'll take it from myself. Is [Taylor Swift] here? I want to give her a hug."
He wasn't the only one -- the Kanye incident was mentioned by rapper Asher Roth when he presented an award. But the biggest surprises of the night? Matt & Kim's back-up dancers stripping down during the band's opening number (they still had some clothes on -- don't worry!), 3OH!3 dressed up in two of Lady Gaga's craziest outfits, and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester presented with the legendary Cydni Lauper!
My fave parts of the night overall were just watching Death Cab perform their hit off the Twilight soundtrack, "Meet Me On The Equinox," and one of my all-time fave songs of theirs, "The Sound of Settling." P.O.S. rapping through the crowd was pretty cool too, as was mega rock band The Dead Weather performing three songs to close out the night -- after all, they're an awesome group who hardly ever take the stage!
You can check out all the madness when the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards when it premieres on Friday, December 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
There were tons of up-and-coming bands and indie groups there that I think you guys would love. So tell me -- what new bands are you interested in hearing about? Do you guys like finding out about new music?
<3,

Hi there J-14ers!
It's crazy that after an excruciating year-long wait since its predecessor, in the fastest 130 minutes ever, it was all over.
There was the debate over whether Taylor Lautner would be recast, there were the surprise big-name casting announcements (Dakota Fanning!), and there was the endless speculation about whether on-screen sparks between Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had lead to a real-life relationship.
But strip away the controversies and hype around The Twilight Saga: New Moon (opening tomorrow), and what you have is simple story anyone can relate to: a young girl with a "hole" in her heart after losing her first love.
Sure, with its sleeker makeup (less campy, more vamp-y) and high-tech special effects (sparkles worth "ooh"-ing for), New Moon is more of a slick "Hollywood" film than the gritty indy feel of the first Twilight. But at the core, it retains what has turned it into an international phenomenon -- the irresistible eternal love story between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, this century's Romeo and Juliet.
And then, of course, there's the werewolf factor -- which heats up this movie (literally!). With Rob Pattinson as the clear central character of the first film, skeptics doubted whether 17-year-old Taylor Lautner could step into the role of a physically more powerful character, Jacob Black.
From the first millisecond he appears on screen, there's no doubt that this guy was born to play this role. His age is barely a factor, as he steps it up big time, taking charge -- both flirting with and protecting Bella. Taylor shows he's got the chops to take what was a three-scene role in the first movie into leading-man territory.
Oh, and did I mention yet that this serious heart-wrenching vampire-werewolf movie is actually funny?! The theater erupted in laughter constantly -- from the wisecracks of Bella's high school friends to the endearing one-liners from Bella's dad, Charlie (dare we suggest Team Charlie?!).
But whether you're Team Jacob or Team Edward (which I clearly remain after this movie!), New Moon is really all about Team Bella. Kristen Stewart is the true star of the film -- capturing the realness of the confusing times of heartache, heartbreak, and ultimately true love.
And I promise you no spoilers, but I'll guarantee you one thing -- the very last line will leave you screaming... and wishing you could borrow Hermione's time-turner from Rob's other movie franchise, Harry Potter, to fast-forward to June 30, when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters!
Let the countdown to Eclipse begin!
As soon as you see New Moon, let us know what you think!
Can't wait to hear all your thoughts!

The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!
For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted up Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Cullen, about the insanely high standard of beauty her character is held up to!
-------------------------------------
J-14 Exclusive Interview: Nikki Reed's Beauty Talk
J-14: Rosalie Cullen is all about beauty -- is that a lot of pressure to play?
Nikki: I feel incredible insecure. I feel embarrassed. At times flattered and at times, I just want to apologize to everybody. You know, I'm really appreciative to have that role, but in order for me to not just like fall apart because of the pressure of playing that character with that description is just sort of unbearable at times.
J-14: Do you try to turn the focus away from her looks?
Nikki: I just tried to look at her as every other aspect aside from her being the most beautiful. When you have like 30 million people reading a book, everyone's going to picture in their minds who the most beautiful person in the world is -- it's not me and I know that. But I'm really grateful to all those people that think that I fit that -- thank you.

Kellan + Ellen = the perfect TV match-up!
Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz will be on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (check local listings for showtimes) -- and spills how he almost didn't get in to The Twilight Saga: New Moon after-party! "I'm like I'm in the movie -- I know my hair is blonde right now!" he begged.
Plus Ellen said she would donate $5,000 to The Humane Society of the United States if Kellan takes his shirt off! Will he? Tune in to find out! (And how hot is he doing push-ups?!)

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted up Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, exclusively about Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan!
-------------------------------------
J-14 Exclusive Interview: Taylor Lautner Dishes About Kristen Stewart
J-14: Who did you bond the most with during the filming of The Twilight Saga movies?
Taylor Lautner: The most is pretty hard. I really bonded with Nikki Reed. I spend a lot of time with Nikki and Kristen.
J-14: What's it like working with Kristen so closely?
Taylor: Kristen's a great girl. A lot of fun to be around. She's such a talented actress. It's awesome to be acting opposite of someone like that. She's amazing. It's a lot of fun!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we met up with Peter Facinelli and chatted with him about being the father figure of the Cullen clan.
-------------------------------------
J-14 Exclusive Interview: Peter Facinelli Chats About Being Papa Cullen
J-14: Is it weird that you're playing Rob Pattinson, Jackson Rathbone, and Kellan Lutz's "dad"?
Peter Facinelli: I'm only like 10 years older than them, but when 15-year-olds are screaming for them, it makes me feel like I'm 350 years old.
J-14: Do you ever give them fatherly advice?
Peter: I don't think you could ever give them advice for that kind of stuff. Stay away. Don't go to jail.
J-14: Do fans treat you differently?
Peter: The [fans] have actually been really nice to me because I think with Carlisle they're more respectful. Except for the moms. The 15-year-olds are really respectful -- they don't mob me like they mob Rob. But then the moms come out...
J-14: Are your kids really into Twilight? Are they too young?
Peter: No, my oldest is 12. It was kind of nice that she got to go on this little journey with me because she read the books. She was a fan of the books, so she got to come down to the set. Before that, I've always done the kind of movies that were for mature audiences, so she never really got to see what I do. It was nice that she was part of it.

Sam Bradley first exploded onto the scene thanks to the song he wrote with his longtime buddy, Rob Pattinson, making it onto the Twilight soundtrack as "Never Think."
Now he's on tour with Justin Nozuka through December 3 -- and he's still a loyal pal to Rob (look at how he cleverly covered everyone BUT Robby P. on the J-14 cover when we sat down with him Caffè Artigiano in Vancouver, Canada).
Check out our video where he shares one juicy secret with J-14 exclusively...

J-14: What's an oddest thing that a Twilight fan has done for you so far?
Christian Serratos: My name was sent in to space.
J-14: Wow, really, how so?
Christian: I don't know. One day I was just chilling at home and I got this big envelope and there were NASA certificates inside of it.
Justin Chon: Oh, I got that too.
Christian: Yeah!
J-14: Oh so you're both literally out of this world.
Justin: Yeah, we're groovy.

J-14 exclusive interview: Jackson Rathbone on Attacking Kristen Stewart
J-14: Jackson, you in particular have a much more crucial role in this movie. What was it like for you to go lurching at Kristen Stewart and be fought off by Rob Pattinson? Was it as intense as it looks?
Jackson Rathbone: Yeah, it was as intense as it looked and a little bit more actually. I don't want to give too much away but both Kellan [Lutz] and Peter [Facinelli] had to hold me back through that scene. It was one of those scenes that we talked before and I really wanted to go all out and it was great getting to work with the guy doing the stunt stuff with Rob, Peter, and Kellan, because they actually held me back. They actually stop me from getting hurt because if they hadn't held me back I would have taken Kristen down.
J-14: Kristen would have been a goner, huh?
Jackson: Oh yeah!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, Nikki Reed dished with us on how she really feels about Bella -- from Rosalie's perspective, and her own!
-------------------------------------
J-14 exclusive interview: Nikki Reed Dishes On Bella
J-14: Some fans of the books think that Bella comes off as depressed and is almost seen as weak because she's lost without her guy in New Moon. How do you feel about that?
Nikki Reed: I think that's what makes Bella so appealing though, is that everyone can relate to that time. I mean, if we're going to associate her with, like, a completely healthy woman then I would have a lot to say about Bella -- but she's a kid. She's a kid and we forget because Stephenie [Meyer] has created such an adult relationship between Bella and Edward. You forget that Bella is still just a kid who lives with her dad, who's very opinionated and very self righteous in a certain sense, but she still needs guidance. This is just her perspective, you know what I mean?
J-14: And by the end of this Twilight chapter, Bella is getting ready to consider marriage. Do you agree with that as her "sibling?"
Nikki: I mean, absolutely not. Am I speaking as Rosalie or Nikki?
J-14: Both!
Nikki: I think the beauty is that this is Stephenie Meyer's world. She created this so it's sort of like, anything goes! Do I think people should be getting married at 18 or 19-years-old? I don't know. It's really not for me to say. I'm not married. No one at this table that I'm sitting with [that would be Jackson Rathbone and Kellan Lutz] is married but I guess you never know what happens tomorrow.

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we had "evil" vampire Laurent, played by Edi Gathegi, and strong-willed wolf pack member Paul, played by Alex Meraz, dish about each other!
-------------------------------------
J-14 exclusive interview: Edi Gathegi and Alex Meraz Talk About... Each Other!
J-14: Edi, how do people react when they see you without Laurent's dreads?
Alex Meraz: And accent.
Edi Gathegi: Well, if they recognize me, right? If they recognize me, then they'll be like, you're an amazing actor because you're able to transform and make yourself completely different. Because we're doing a lot of interviews and putting ourselves out there, now people are starting to make the connection that I'm the actor in the movie. I'm getting almost as much recognition for the dreadless Edi as the Edi that's ready to rock.
Alex: Which I've got to say -- I've watched the trailer a lot now because of doing these publicity events and when I see Edi doing Laurent I'm always blown away by his acting chops. Man he's like a completely different person from the Edi I know. Edi's a beast!
Edi: It's an act, dude! You heard it here first, J-14!
J-14: Edi, so what do you have to say about Alex?
Alex: He don't have nothing to say about me because he apparently fast forwarded the scenes that he wasn't in the movie when he watched the film.
Edi: Get out of here!
Alex: No, he fast-forwarded through everything but his own scenes, so he hasn't seen the whole movie!
Edi: Alex under my tutelage is going to be a great actor.

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we talked with Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, about what his day of filming usually looks -- and tastes -- like!
-------------------------------------
J-14 exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner about filming
J-14: We know you're not a big fan of the wig you had to wear for Jacob! Were you excited you got to lose it for part of New Moon?
Taylor Lautner: Absolutely. When I found out I was wearing a wig I was like, "oh cool. I've never done this before!" And in the end I was just itching my head the whole time! The worst was in this one Twilight scene when I wore a beanie over top of it and it made it 100 times worse. So I'd try to negotiate with them not to wear beanies anymore.
J-14: What is a day on set like for you guys?
Taylor: We get out of hair and makeup and start filming, get a little half hour break for lunch, film again. We usually finish around 5:30 or 6 and then go to dinner. They have great food, so we always go out to really nice restaurants -- it is a lot of fun! In our down time there... we eat!
J-14: What is your favorite thing to eat from craft services when you're on set?
Taylor: I'm a really a big meat and cheese guy, so I won't make the sandwich. I'll just grab the meat and cheese and eat it straight out of there!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we dished with Christian Serratos, who plays Bella's friend from school Angela, about her favorite Twilight Twitter friend!
-------------------------------------
J-14 exclusive interview with Christian Serratos about Twitter
J-14: You're really active on Twitter, do you think it's important for hyping up the New Moon fans?
Christian Serratos: Why not! I mean, you got a Twitter, you might as well use it! I feel a lot closer to fans, which is really cool.
J-14: How do you get to interact with fans on Twitter that you weren't able to before?
Christian: I'm just getting to personally talk to them now. MySpace gets difficult because emails get lost and there's so, so many emails! It gets frustrating for me to try and get to everyone, and it took so much time to reply, and type, and send. But with Twitter, all you gotta do is press one button and it's just a lot simpler!
J-14: Do you think it's okay to talk with your costars on Twitter? You are always Tweeting with Edi Gathegi!
Christian: Yeah, Edi is one of my pals! You have to be careful what you say on there but, whatever!
