Guy Twi-Hards Favorite Twilight Moments Of 2011

I started writing Confessions of a Male Twi-Hard in August 2010. "Really?" you say. "It seems like we've been putting up with you much longer than that."

I know. I'm already like an old, annoying college buddy (which is what I literally am to my editor Kevin). Anyway, 2011 is the first full calendar year that I've been covering "Twilight" regularly. While I haven't eaten chicken wings with Peter Facinelli, chest-bumped Kellen Lutz, touched Robert Pattinson's hair or accomplished anything on my Twi-Hard bucket list, it's still been a "Twilight" rollercoaster of good times these last 12 months. Now that 2011 is coming to a close, it only seems appropriate that I look back and pick my favorite Twi-hard moments of the year.

10. Beavis and Butt-Head Return as Twi-Hards, Kinda
My younger fandom of "Beavis and Butt-Head" rivals my current "Twilight" preoccupation. So, I was extremely excited for the show's return to MTV with new episodes. And what subject does creator Mike Judge tackle with his first new episode in nearly 14 years? "Twilight." My younger self just totally high-fived me. Sure, Beavis and Butt-Head think it "sucks," but they think everything sucks. Their attempts at becoming werewolves to meet hot chicks is something I've pondered many times.

9. 'Abduction'
I'm going to admit something now that I didn't admit in my column about "Abduction." It's a really bad movie, laughably bad, and Taylor Lautner's performance may be the worst of any lead actor in a major motion picture this year. So, why I am including this in my list? As stupid as "Abduction" is, and despite its 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, I can't stop thinking about it, and I honestly can't wait to see it on DVD. It sounds cliché, but it's so bad it's good. Just like George Clooney's performance in "Return of the Killer Tomatoes!" It has definite cult appeal.

8. Creating a 'Twilight' Valentine's Day
Like many men, I'm a Valentine's Day hater, and that's why I wasn't excited when my editor suggested I write a column on how to create a "Twilight" Valentine's Day. However, it ended up being one of the most fun "Confessions" columns to write, and I believe it was the first one that the official "Twilight" Facebook page reposted. Now, I'm actually looking forward to this Valentine's Day. My girlfriend still won't agree to jumping into a bathtub of ice before sleeping with me, so that I'll know what it's like to make sweet vampire love ... but I'm still hopeful.

7. 'Twilight' at Comic-Con
I didn't go to Comic-Con, and honestly, it's still kind of painful for me to talk about missing it. However, I still need to include it on my list because it was a big deal for Twi-hards this year. I'm not going to pick my wound deeper. If you want to read about it, I already wrote a whole column on it.

6. Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards
"Eclipse" scored eight MTV Movie Award nominations and took home five of them. Film snobs can underplay the award all they want, but have to admit that's an impressive score card for any awards show. Yet Robert Pattinson's impromptu celebration of running into the audience -- leaving Best Kiss cowinner Kristen Stewart awkwardly alone onstage -- to make out with Taylor Lautner "eclipsed" everything else that night. Best. Best Kiss. Ever.

5. My Anna Kendrick Krush
I wanted to include Anna Kendrick's performance in LCD Soundsystem's music video "Pow Pow" on my list, but that came out in late 2010. Then I realized, it's not the music video I wanted to celebrate, it's Anna Kendrick and her general awesomeness this year. She didn't do anything in particular that made me like her more, but 2011 will stand as the year my Kendrick krush began. Look for a Team AK-47 rallying cry in an upcoming column.

4. Learning 50 Cent and Aziz Ansari Are Twi-Hards
I'm not saying that 50 Cent and Aziz Ansari are my favorite celebrities in the world, but they definitely reached new heights on the Male Twi-hard heat index when I learned they like "Twilight." Let's be honest. It gets lonely as a straight man in his early 30s who loves something that is predominately loved by tween girls and housewives. It's nice to know a like-minded male Twi-hard posse is growing.

3. Bringing a Shake Weight to a Cosplay Fight
The good folks at NextMovie were nice enough to send me to Los Angeles this year to attend the Twilight Convention. I knew I had to give them their money's worth, so I entered the costume contest as Wolf Pack Member No One Calls. See my column for why I brought a Shake Weight. This move has gained me the most notoriety around the offices of NextMovie and its parent MTV. But, I'm not sure that's a good thing …

2. Sex Scene in 'Breaking Dawn'
Whatever, call me a pervert, but you know you were pissed off when you finally got to a sex scene in "Breaking Dawn" and Stephenie Meyer glossed right over it. Director Bill Condon must have felt the same way, because there's a great sex scene in the movie ... followed by 60 minutes of the most painful on-screen pregnancy in history, but still.


1. Meeting Other 'Twilight' Bloggers

The entire Twilight Convention is my biggest "Twilight" highlight of the year, but meeting other bloggers and realizing they're also not the geeky shut-ins that people think we all are is my most comforting moment of the year. Thanks to Letters to Twilight and Elle of Twilightish for supporting me in the costume contest. Also, Laura Byrne-Cristiano of Twilight Lexicon for posting the video. Big props to Kandi Prickett of Salt Lake City Twilight Fans for taking photos, as well as discussing Major League Soccer with me and for having the coolest tattoo I've seen all year: Pug Jack Sparrow.

Not So Normal Onscreen TV Teen Activity

Today’s high school students are clearly not like they used to be. Back when we were in high school (no, we aren’t telling you when) normal after school activities included cheerleading, football practice and bagging groceries at the local super market.
But today, teenagers are getting involved in things we can hardly wrap our heads around. For example, take our four favorite girls from Rosewood, Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily, who now spend their free time dealing with the haunting disappearance of their friend ‘A’ and Cassie Blake the recently discovered teen witch who finds herself a part of the newest generation of the Secret Circle. Yes, sometimes we secretly dream about being a part of these circles!
But there is a new ‘super teenager’ around these days. Nick Green from the new series, Aim High, is just an average high school junior who happens to have one crazy extracurricular activity. Now, what other teenager do you know that’s also a highly skilled agent for the U.S. government and uses his martial arts moves and weapons to take out enemies of the state or high-ranking Mafioso? Yeah, we didn’t think so.
Despite his dangerous and taxing after-school job, Nick's just trying to get through the day without getting his head shoved in the toilet, failing his chemistry class and tripping over himself in front of girls. All in all, it's going to be a long semester. Good luck, buddy.
In the latest episode, Nick finds himself being hunted in the school hallways by Russian mercenary while his crush and the rest of the student body wonder why he just blew the senior prank. Curious about how Nick got out of this one? Watch the full episode here.
Aim High stars Jackson Rathbone (Breaking Dawn) and Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights). To catch up on all six episodes visit http://www.facebook.com/AimHighSeries. And for all of you overachievers out there, you can also earn Aim High badges throughout the episodes to help you become an Agent, Operative or Spy. How cool is that?

MTV Twilight's Best Year Yet!

We knew 2011 was going to be a big year in the world of "Twilight" news. The fanbase seemed to keep growing by the hour, as did the excitement surrounding the release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1." The release of a new "Twilight" film also meant that we'd be seeing a lot of the blockbuster franchise's superstars as they promoted the film — and, boy, was MTV News lucky with how much time we ended up spending with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the gang this year. As such, this week's "Twilight Tuesday" is dedicated to the best and brightest of those interviews with our favorite stars.

Our first encounter with a "Twilight" star was our chat with Pattinson at the Golden Globes, during which he provided us with a giggly reaction to the first "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" still of Bella and Edward in bed, as well as his positive reviews of Stewart playing a vampire. "It's like she wanted to do it the entire time," he told us. "It's really funny, it's like a completely different environment on set when she's a vampire and when she's not. I think she's going to do it really well."

There were also plenty of teases about the film's most highly anticipated scenes, including the wedding of Edward and Bella and the honeymoon sex scene. Of seeing Stewart in a wedding dress during the filming of their characters' nuptials, Pattinson said, "She looked amazing. I really didn't do much than just stand there."

Stewart later said of the experience: "It was very, very emotional for me."

Pattinson added, "You kind of realize what the groom's position in a wedding is, which, in reality, is basically a prop. You stand there in a suit, and then everyone is looking at the girl."

One scene in which everyone was most certainly not just looking at the girl is the first sex scene between Edward and Bella on their wedding night. "I think we had some really interesting ideas about [the love scene]," Pattinson said when we caught up with him at the "Water for Elephants" press junket. "It's kind of interesting, as well, having to do it in the context of PG-13. It makes it more interesting."

Speaking to all the hype about the big moment, Pattinson said that although there was a lot of pressure to deliver some major fireworks in the scene, he was confident he'd give a convincing performance. "That's the one time I have felt like the coolest person," Pattinson admitted with a laugh. "I was like, 'This is easy!' I can fulfill people's sexual fantasy expectations without even thinking, piece of cake. That isn't acting," he joked. "The only thing [that was difficult] is the vanity aspect," Pattinson continued. "Taylor [Lautner] just ruined the whole series for me. As soon as he buffed up, I'm like, 'Well, I'm throwing in the towel' on 'New Moon.' "

Speaking of Lautner and his chiseled abs, the heartthrob told us that he had to actively campaign to director Bill Condon and the powers that be to limit his amount of shirtlessness in the film, much to the disappointment of his devoted fan following.

"I got it down to one time, one time in the movie, and it literally lasts for two seconds," Lautner said proudly of his single shirtless shot. "There was some negotiating for sure. There was more [shirtless scenes] when I read the original script, trust me," he said. "And I got it down to a very, very small amount, which I was so happy with."

Other interview highlights included the unexpected, off-the-cuff, informal moments wherein our favorite stars played ball with a few of our more-outlandish requests and questions. Case in point: When we asked Jackson Rathbone to help read off a few of the 2011 MTV Movie Awards nominees in song, which he did in good spirits and with aplomb. Then there was the "Breaking Dawn" version of the always-entertaining "Yes/No Show" with Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner.

And those are just a small collection of our favorites from 2011 alone. Only time will tell what 2012 will bring as we gear up for the "epic" conclusion to the franchise, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2." It goes without saying that we can't wait.

Best Movie Hunks 2011

Kellan Lutz

Midwesterner Kellan Lutz came to California for college to pursue a career in chemical engineering. Somewhere along the way the sexy Lutz discovered acting and modeling. It was a good career move. He’s best-known for playing Emmett Cullen in the "Twilight" series, but also made a splash in the hot series of ads for Calvin Klein underwear in 2010. More recently he appeared as Poseidon in the fantasy epic "Immortals." He also has a starring role in the new sci-fi thriller "Arena," where he plays a firefighter who becomes involved with a highly controversial (and illegal) online contemporary gladiator game where participants fight to the death. He’s also involved in the upcoming horror film "Guardians of Luna" about a futuristic city where werewolves run free

Lutz, who is said to be straight and was raised in a strict Christian household, was recently asked by the Advocate about gay issues. "I was raised in a Christian family, and I’m a Christian, but the only commandment that I really live by is ’Love your neighbor as yourself.’ It doesn’t matter who a person is or what they’re into, you just show them love. If they’re happy, be happy for them. Be a believer, have faith in something, but no one’s right or wrong. Just be a good person. If we were all just one loving world, stuff would be so much easier."

As for the rumors that he might be gay, he said: "I don’t Google myself, but I’ve heard that people think I’m gay. I’ve heard it all. See, I don’t really go after girls. Most of the girlfriends I’ve had have come after me. So it’s really funny when girls get offended because I don’t hit on them. They’ll transform their insecurity into, ’Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you’re into guys and have a boyfriend.’ I’m like, ’Seriously? That’s your tactic to get me to like you?’ There will always be rumors, but I know who I am."
