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.

Twilight Barbie is a Barbie modeled after Bella from the Twilight Series.  The Twilight Barbie is  brunette, like Twilight’s Bella.  The Twilight Barbie is sure to be a success with all the little girls that are in love with the Twilight Series.

 The Twilight Series chronicles the story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.  The twist in the story is that Edward Cullen is a vampire.  There is now a Twilight Barbie and Twilight Ken – one modeled after Bella Swan and the other after Edward Cullen.

 I don’t know which one will be more successful – Twilight Barbie or Twilight Ken.  Tweens all swoon after the sexy bad-boy image of Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson.  Bella Swan is played by actress Kristen Stewart.

 The Twilight Barbie comes out shortly before the November 20 release of New Moon.  The timing is perfect, as many girls will likely have the Twilight Barbie on their Christmas wish list. 

 The Twilight Barbie doll is affordable, too.  Each Twilight Barbie and Twilight Ken cost a measly $25 each. Where can you purchase the Twilight Barbie? You’re in luck – you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home.  Walmart.com is selling the dolls online.  Per the Wal-Mart Web site, the Twilight Barbie is not available in stores.  Click HERE to view/purchase your Twilight Barbie.

Country singer Taylor Swift, 19, and “Twilight”/”New Moon” actor Taylor Lautner, 17, have been spotted hanging out together a lot lately, sparking rumors that the two are dating.

Their most recent sighting together was at a Los Angeles Kings hockey game on Sunday. The teens, who are co-starring in the upcoming movie “Valentine’s Day” together, attended the game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, according to People magazine. The singer and her driver also reportedly picked up Lautner at the Los Angeles airport before heading to the game.

Lautner was also spotted at one of Swift’s concerts in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, where the two shared a hug.

On a side note, the two share another connection. Lautner was onstage as a presenter at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Swift was famously interrupted by Kanye West during her Best Female Video acceptance speech.
