The much anticipated movie ”The Twilight Saga: New Moon” hits theaters at midnight.

New Moon

The movie is based on the second book, New Moon, in the Twilight series about a teenage vampire romance by author Stephenie Meyer.  It opens in the United States and Canada on Friday, November 20, 2009, but fans have already been buying tickets in advance.  Online ticket sellers Fandango.com and MovieTickets.com reported this week that “New Moon” is their biggest advance ticket seller of all time.  (To buy advance tickets to “New Moon” and find show times near you, click here.)

The movie is expected to gross nearly $100 million from movie theater box offices when it debuts this weekend, and score one of the biggest openings ever for a non-summer film, according to Reuters.  The first film in the series, “Twilight,” which debuted one year ago, reportedly made $69.6 million in its first weekend at the box office.

The Hollywood premiere with the cast of “New Moon” was held on Monday at Mann’s Village Theater in Westwood, CA.  Some fans camped out several days ahead of time to get a close spot in hopes of meeting the cast at the premiere.

“New Moon” stars Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, and Kristen Stewart.  It follows the romance between teenager Bella Swan (Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson), along with her friendship with werewolf Jacob Black (Lautner).  For more about the film, check out the official Web site.

The magazine made its announcement on Wednesday, in which Depp will be featured on the cover of People’s annual special issue.  Depp, who also received the honor in 2003, has joined the elite club of two-time “Sexiest Man Alive” holders, which also includes actors Brad Pitt and George Clooney, according to the magazine.

The 46-year-old actor is best known for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, as well as quirky Tim Burton films such as “Edward Scissorhands” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Depp is also a father of two.

Miley Cyrus dead? Is Miley Cyrus really dead, or is this just another Internet rumor?  If Miley Cyrus is dead, her death would have to be tragic as she is young.  Miley Cyrus is Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter and is best known as “Hannah Montanna”

Miley Cyrus is probably not really dead.  After all, the Internet is full of rumors, and celebrity deaths are among the favorites of gossip mills and entertainment news.  This won’t be the first time that she is the center of a rumor, as back in June it was announced that Miley was in a car accident and died.

The thing is, she didn’t die and I am so glad.  There’s nothing more tragic than the loss of life – particularly that of a very young individual.  If you are searching frantically looking for details on Miley Cyrus’s death, step back take a deep breath and relax.  If she really died, it would be on major media sites such as ABC, CBS, CNN, and high-profile celebrity sites such as TMZ, E!, and People.

Even though Miley is alive and well, there is one part of her that is dead: her Twitter account.  Back in October, Miley Cyrus abruptly deleted her Twitter account citing  a vague reason referencing her boyfriend.  Since then, her fans have wanted her to come back.

Now that you know that Miley Cyrus is NOT dead, there is some interesting gossip circulating the Internet.  Here are some other great current events

Teen country star Taylor Swift poked fun of her love life and a recent incident with Kanye West when she hosted “Saturday Night Live” (”SNL”) this weekend.

Taylor Swift on 'SNL'

Swift, 19, started out the evening with a “Monologue Song,” which not only showcased her voice, but her sense of humor as well.  She sang about her famous breakup with Joe Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, and the recent rumors (based on sightings together, including a recent hockey game) that she is dating “Twilight” and “New Moon” star Taylor Lautner.

(To see a video clip of the “Monologue Song,” click here.)

In the “Monologue Song,” she also joked about how West wouldn’t be able to interrupt her on stage this time, as she had security.  This parody stemmed from the MTV Video Music Awards in September, when West went on stage during Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, grabbed the microphone, and said that Beyonce had the best video of the year, leaving Swift speechless onstage.  On a side note, and a nice tie in, Lautner was on stage as a presenter at the time.

Another shout out to the Lautner-Swift dating rumors on “SNL” included a “Twilight” parody sketch, “Firelight.”  In the clips, Swift played the role of Bella Swan, who was infatuated with Frankenstein, instead of a vampire.  

(To see a video clip of the “Firelight” sketch, click here.)

Other sketches of the evening included Swift as reality star Kate Gosselin as a substitute host on “The View,” and Swift as a teenager (with braces and headgear) complaining that parents’ distracted driving skills are worse than teenagers texting while driving.

Aside from hosting, Swift also rocked the stage as the musical guest of the night, which was expected.

Precious movie showtimes are in demand. Precious showtimes or watching Precious free online are all options that the thousands of people wanting to see the movie are frantically searching for.

Precious is about a morbidly obese illiterate teenager living in Harlem.  Her mother is a welfare-scamming foul-mouthed abusive matriarch who resented her daugther because her father “preferred” her since the age of three.  Her father? Oh yeah, he’s got AIDS and has gotten Precious pregnant for the second time.

Precious spends her time waiting hand and foot on her mother in their squalid apartment in 1987 Harlem.  According to comeheregofar.info, the ending of the movie “Precious” is far from a happy ending.

Both Oprah and Tyler Perry endorse Precious, although neither were involved in the movie. Among the cast is Mo’Nique and Lenny Kravitz.

Precious is being widely received as a movie that you must see.  Those interested in Precious movie showings are searching frantically for when the movie is in their area.  Some markets have to wait until November 20 to see Precious.  Some larger areas are able to see Precious starting November 6, according to the Cleveland Pop Examiner.

There are several Web sites that claim that you can watch Precious free online.  Be wary of these offers, as many times these types of sites are rife with spyware and viruses.
